THE SITUATION IN KANSAS,

A special correspondent of the Ameri-
can Wool Reporter has recently been on
a tour of this state looking up the sheep
and wool interests particularly and was
so impressed with the crop prospects and
outlook for prosperous times ahead that
| he was impelled to branch out from the
special object of his researches, into the
| following observations:
''ln view Of the large crops of wheat
and oats just harvested and the usually
bountifui crop of corn that is ahead, the
press of the state is discussing the condi-
| ton Of the mortgaged farmer and the
possibility of nis getting out of debt this
year. A mortgage in the west, and par
ticulariy in Kansas, is far from being an
evil or betokening poverty and distress
on the part Of the borrower There are
few mortgages which have been placed
because the farmer wanted the money
to live on. For the most part they are
placed because the man with the capital
buys farm and runs III debt for i'm
plements wherewith to furnish it or
cattle to stock it. He expects to
pay off the Indebtedness in one
or two good seasons and seldom
Is disappointed; during the past two years
he has been, but better times are ahead.
The fact that mortgage remain that were
placed on lands several years ago is due
to conditions which could not be fore
seen and could not be avoided. In plen-
tiful years the farmers have frequently
paid for their land with the crop of a
single year. In Saline, Dickinson, Sedg-
wick, Sumner and other counties it was
frequently done. The land has risen to
too high valuation to make such thing
possible now, but it shows that the thrift
ty settler is justified in borrowing
enough money to put his land in the best
possible condition. The three crop fail
ures in 1886, 81 and 'S8, have kept mort
cages at stand still, but this year will
show large reduction in their amount"
Referring to the wool interest, the Re
porter says editorially: eve have Sc
lected Kansas as typical state in which
the range and ranch sheep era having
died out, the farm sheep era is pro-
crossing very probably. With re-
duction Of the duties on wool to a 30 pei |
cent. al valorem basis, this better form
Of sheep husbandry will be stimulated in |
the United States through the develop-
ment OF the manufacturing industry"

BEST IN TIE WEST.

From the Parsons ECLIPSE.
One Of the largest industries in the
state is the packing house Of Francis
Whitaker & Sens. which has Just been
completed at Wichita. Il Is the most
thoroughly equipped packing house in
the west. having a power house 57xf13
feet. p feet high. with engines and boil
ers capable OF the eXertiou Of $50 horse
power. The slaughter house is Slx93

the day Is near at hand when Kansas
Will be favored IN every locality with in

AT last plan has been proposed which
promises. If carried out. 10 rid Us of the
Mormon cancer. For sometime Nevada
has been on the decline, and unless some
thing Is done 10 revive immigration in
that direction, IL is asserted. she may.
lose her statehood. The state has now
but fifty thousand inhabitants. and the
cost of maintaining a state government
is great The only way to save Nevada
is to annex territory: this can be done
by the annexation of Utah. Utah, IS
part of Nevada, could not be cursed by
The hldeous cancer of Normonism. The
saints would have TO seek other quarters.
Or give up their perniCious life. and our
country would find Itself rid at last Of
the one great social crime that has been
blot upon its fair fame SO many wears.
Inc practicabilliJy of the scheme is
doubted as regards the more speedy OBJ
liberation of Mormonism than is at pres
ent being done. The government has
been hammering away at it for years
and II is not probable that the weak state
OF Nevada could accomplish more.

The constitution of the state of Kan
sas, or its makers, attempted to guard
the people against a big state debt and
onerous taxation, but the recent legisla-
lures have found ways for getting
around the matter. The present state
house, for instance, is being built by q
direct levy made on all property of the
state. by the legislature. That scheme
has been found 10 work so well that last
winter the same body made a direct levy
TO raise money sufficient TO run the state
university, or at least TO furnish it with
over six thousand dollars per month.
Some taxpayers protested and now the
attorney general Of the state is out with
an opinion sustaining the cut. On with
the rebellion.

Ifold Ben Buffers ambition isn't COM

forensic bout between john and Ben
would give the sedate Hubites such a
shake-up as they have not experienced

CORN AND REBELLION.

Marsh, shut up about that little rebel
lion of yours, Let us give the fellows a
chance TO cut up this big corn crop and
then we will. join hands and protect Kan
sas againt the beef combine. Blank your
rebellion.-Capital.
Nothing could more highly delight us
than the making of any concession
which would prove satisfactory to our
esteemed contemporary, even to joining
hands with it in shocking big corn ana
putting down the arrogant beef combine,
but the Capital should goa little slow in
banking that rebellion under the supDo-
sitiol that it belongs to us. 1t is too big
a thing to be directed by one man or
even controlled by the old political ring,
1t springs from many people,
more people than even num-
bered the Republican majority at the
last election. Like the gathering storm,
whose clouds have quietly and suddenly
shut out the light OF the sun, the rever-
berations of heavens artillery will soon
come crashing through the sui phurious
atmosphere, consuming the unworthy
with its purifying fires. In the Ian
guage of the Emporia Republican, treat
ing on this same grave subject of corn
and rebellion:
''In Kansas when the corn was made,
and men woke up and hustled trade, and
mortgages began TO fade the farmer
smiled Ocif'rously. But Kansas saw an
other sight; from week to week with main
and might the "old crowd" reached for all
in sight, the young crowd" kicking Wig
rously. And hard and harder grew the
kick, and papers howled and men grew
sick, but all in tain--the ''old crowd
stick like fles around grocery.

SOUTHWEST KANSAS AND HER
CORN.

In more than one instance has the
EAGLE proved of great value to the farm
ers of southwest Kansas, saving them
hundreds of thousands of dollars in the
aggregate in a single season, by timely
advice, based on general information,
touching probable advances Of prices for
grain. Upon the other hand III no in
stance do we believe that any harm was
done. Corn and oats are very low in
price at the present, as is also wheat.
ruinously low, neither product COM
handing profitable, hardly a living
price. In the absence of foreign war
or foreign failure of crops we see little
hope for any market advancement in
the price of wheat. But from all sources
of information at our command and
from talks with close and well posted
observers we are satisfied that the great
corn producing quarter of the country,
including the states Of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska there
will be n shortage of corn which another
month will demonstrate. If this should
prove true, foreign buyers will soon be
scattering over southern Kansas attempt
ing to contract corn at present prices for
future delivery. Il is our judgment that
to make such contracts would be mis-
take upon the part of our farmers. We
believe that corn viii be higher, and if
so, then oats and other animal food. II
is quite certain that it can be no lower.
Our advice. then. would DE not to con
tract. If the crop generally Is short hogs
and cattle would naturally advance in
price also. Many farmers no doubt will
be compelled to sell per cent of their
crops. but they should sell only for I'M
mediate pay and delivery.

The question of a single legislative
body was before the constitutional con-
yention of each of the territories Of the
northwest recently, though neither one
adopted the idea. The suggestion is
made periodically to abolish the United
States senate, thus leaving only one Leg
islative body to be often renewed and
directly responsible to the people, and
the proposition is sometimes backed up
with some pretty strong argument but
the popular demand will have to become
a great deal stronger than it is at present
before the change is made. 1t would be
next to impossible TO effect such
change in any event, for the reason that
the body itself that is proposed to be
abolished would have to act on it and
the spirit of the times don't prompt men
to legislate themselves out of place.

The Kansas City Gazette is now, also,
advocating the navigating of the Mis-

We can remember when the Kaw was
navigated and have seen a steamboat
tied up within the present corporate
limits of Topeka. 1t was a big thing;
not the steamboat nor the river, but the
navigating business. A steamboat once
started for junction City or for that re-
Sion, at least it passed Topeka headed in
that direction, but we never heard of its
return. If it ever should get back it
might prove a good vessel, be just
adopted to the wants of the Missouri
river navigation scheme. For freight or
passage apply at any of the numerous
sand bars.
