The New York Press, edited by ROBERT
p. PORTER, President HARRIsoN's APP
pointee az superintendent of the census,
"warns" the administration that unless
the secretary OF the treasury decides that
the protective duty OF ll cents per pound
on lead ores applies to all ores containing
lead, the republican party will be beaten
next fall in Montana, Washington and
Idaho. The spirit in which Editor
PORTER will enter upon his duties
as superintendent Of the census
is foreshadowed by the tenor of this edi-
toriak Apparently Mr.. PORTER supposes
Il to be quite the proper thing for the sec
rotary of the treasury and other govern
uent officials to construe the tariff laws in
any way that will help the republican
party TO carry elections. And there is,
unfortunately, no reason to doubt that
Mr.. PORTER will handle census statistics
on the same principle. The census reports
will be made-to-order republican docu-
ments, and utterly valueless for purposes
Of information.

KANSAS, WICHITA AND THE SAN
ia FE

In discussing its present financial con-
dition the Santa Fe incidentally acknowl-
edges the immense tonnage CT Wichita,
by saving that the action of the commits
sioners will seriously affect that roads
earnings. But will it? We think not.
| The excess of trade encouraged or war
ranted by the more favorable rates, and
the consequent development OF business
will more than make good the cut and
compensate for the loss.
| The Santa Fe is a Kansas road. All
her greatness of the past is due to the
business of Kansas. 1t rests entirely
with the state of Kansas. While that
road runs across the states of Missouri,
Illinois, Texas, the Indian Territory,
New Mexico, Arizona, and of portions of
California and of Colorado, yet the crop
prospects and business Of Kansas
seem alone taken into consider
alton whenever that roads present
status or future prospects are
discussed. The Santa Fe looks to Kan
sas all the time; and her embarrassments,
brought about by her own mistakes or
by the failure of business in the other
states and territories named, reflects
directly upon the prosperity and hurts
Kansas. 1t therefore becomes the plain,
the first duty of the road. or of its man
agement, to stand by Kansas and the
traffic centers of Kansas. When Kansas
fails the prosperity OF all the other states
and territories traversed by the Santa Fe
cannot save that road. This fact sticks
out in every annual report of that road
and in every circular issued from its
Boston headquarters. The cotton crop
of Texas along its line may prove enor-
nous, the output Of ores along its lines
in Mexico, Arizona and Colorado may
be unexampled and the fruit harvest
along its line in California unprecedented
in greatness, yet if drouth catches
Kansas the Santa Fe goes to the
soup. That being true, and it being
equally true that Wichita Is the
greatest traffic center in Kansas, with
the further truth, that but four trunk
lines are here to divide up the business
between them, as against fourteen trunk
lines at Kansas CITY 10 ulHIue Will, we
can't see the force of the criticism set
out against the railroad commissioners
and against Wichita in the EAGLES yes
terday mornings dispatches, as emanat-
ing from the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.
If the traffic managers of the Kansas
lines would devote a little more atten-
ton to the interests of the communities
to whom they look for support, and less
to the demands of the traffic managers
representing roads of other states and Of
far away districts, there would probably
result more prosperity for Kansas, and
bigger dividends for the owners Of these
Kansas lines, with an entire absence OF
shrinkage in the price of their stocks.

FARMING AND RUIN.

From the K. C. Gazette.
Ex-Governor Charles Robinson, in an
address TO the farmers Of Douglas coun-
~, few days ago, quoted the report of
the state agricultural department of Hi
nois to the effect that every crop of corn
produced in that state since 1881 was
raised at loss. He quoted from the re-
port of our own board of agriculture the
fact that the value of farms IN Kansas
was greater in 1887 than in the following
year by S3S, 312, SIC. And yet, in 1879
the total area occupied by the four great
American crops of corn, wheat, oats and
cotton, was 12S, 900, 600 acres. In 1888,
after period of nine years Of growth
and expansion under the operations Of 4
protective tariff. the area occupied by
these four crops was 159. coo. 600 acres
increase of 81, 000, 900 acres. In the same
length Of time the total area OF improved
farm lands IN this country is estimated
by competent authorities 10 have in
creased from 2S5. 600, 600 acres to $780,
600. 600 acres. Ii seems strange that an
industry that is being ruined should ex-
pand IL this way.

The world has been full Of fools ever
since Adams wife climbed a tree in

has never equalled the demand in the
neck of woods where the above writer
lives. Speaking of woods, a woman up
a tree became, with the escapade of
Eve, rare sight, but not more excep-

PRISON STATISTICS.

Kansas Democrat.
OF the $50 prisoners in the Kansas
state penitentiary four are serving their
fourth term, six their third term, and
fifty-nine their second term. Twelve
prisoners have been confined in state re-
form schools before being sentenced to
the penitentiary. With three exceptions
only those prisoners serving more than
one term are in for grand larceny. Con-
victs in for murder and manslaughter
usually serve but one term. The records
show that more men are convicted of
grand larceny (mainly horse stealing)
than for all other crimes together.
Three years ago the legisla-
ture passed a law making it a
penitentiary offense TO seduce a girl
under Is years of age. a great many
are in for violating that law, especially
negroes.
Prisoners in for defalcation and forgery
most easily acquire fair social standing
and are prosperous afterwards.
The prison officials say that crime is
on the decrease in this state, owing to
the prohibitory law. In 1880 there were
1870 more prisoners than at present, when
the population of the state was only
about two-thirds of what it is nov. The
rate in 1880 was one prisoner TO every
!. 400 population; now it is one prisoner
to every 2,C00.

1900 miners out of employment and their
families in destitute circumstances.
The governor of the state has been ap-
pealed to for aid from the state, but he
declines TO make such an order on the

a formal appeal for assistance, but
recommends that the charitably inclined
might worthily bestow charities if they
wish to. Another painful sequel TO the

knowledge of converting car load of

Nor in their enterprise do they confine
themselves to plating barren sections of

KANSAS WHEAT TAKES THE LEAD.

This years crop of wheat in this state
viii not only take the lead in the average
yield per acre and aggregate for the
state, but also in the quality, as witness
this from the Chicago Daily Business,
the trade bulletin Of that city, of June
IS:
"Messrs. Wright & Haughey today re-
ceived a sample Of new wheat from a
Wichita, Kan, correspondent, Mr.. Bar
wise. 1t was of superb quality and
weighed 63 1-2 pounds to the bushel.
The sample would perhaps fairly repre-
sent an average of the wheat raised in
that section. but it indicates a magnifi-
cent average crop, as wheat like it could
not be raised excepting under almost
perfect conditions. Farmers in the sec
ton where Mr.. Barwises sample came
from expect to raise from twenty-five to
forty bushels to the acre. Harvesting is
now in progress, and with good weather
for threshing, the grain should begin
moving toward the central markets in
considerable quantities by the first week
in july"

AS between the Hillman sensation and

center of the state for the time being.
The points in one branch of the postoffice
matter are these: Captain Goodrich,
the new postmaster in that city,
discharged all the letter carriers,
but they appealed to Washing
ton, and secured a suspension of the Or
der. Captain Goodrich has now pre-
ferred charges against them, and there
it rests for the present. This incident
reminds the Champion of one somewhat
similar that occurred in Atchison some
years ago. ]. P. Pomeroy, coal mer-
chant, once called on prominent law
yer of that city, and aksed him what he
could do with the driver of delivery
wagon who neglected his work, refused

ly: Discharge him, of course" Said

THE HOMESTEAD STATE.

Oklahoma will be the Homestead state,
peculiarly and uniquely SO. No timber
claim, pre-emption-right, entry-purchase
or Indian-trust-price will avail to secure
a title in fee-simple in Oklahoma. Only
the American citizen who promises TO
make Oklahoma his home can acquire
any title from government to the rich
acres Of the Indian territory. The great
army of homeseekers who stood upon
her borders at high noon on the 22d of
April waiting for the first bugle blast of
governmental permission to enter the
promised land were, every one, home
steader. Kansas had her Jayhawkers,
Missouri her PukeS, Illinois her Suckers,
California her gold, ETC., but more
markedly and emphatically had Okla
homa her homesteaders. As she is III
fact so ought she to be in sobriquet, The
Homestead State, whose emblematic
flower might appropriately be chosen in
