CIRCULAR LETTER No. /.

Comrades: = The attention of these
headquarters having been called to the
destitute condition of many of our COM
rades in the extreme southwest counties
of the state notably in Clark, Mead and
Grant counties, caused by the failure of
crops in that section, investigation was
made by Past Asst Adj't Gen. Coulter.
who visited that location and found
many of our comrades needing seed for
planting, and provisions to enable them
to remain and put in crops. The en-
campment at Emporia had the matter
under discussion and referred it to the
department commander. There are no
with which to relieve the necessities of
our comrades. The commander therefore
calls upon all posts in the state, who are
able to respond 70 this call for aid, to
purchase seed oats and corn. -four, meal
and meat and forward them TO Mead
Center, Mead county, Kan, Ashland,

dressed to the county commissioners of
said counties who will pay the freight on
such shipments and turn the articles
over to the post commanders or local ex

posts in the counties named. Shipments
can be made direct over the Santa Fe
and Rock Island railroads. 1t Is not
desired that money be sent to these To-
calities. but seed and provisions. Posts or
others desiring to contribute money can
send to the headquarters. and provisions
will be purchased and forwarded. Re
ceipts for all money forwarded viii be
sent to the posts contributing. The
commander earnestly appeals for heip..for
our needy comrades ID this hour of need;
their wives and little ones in many cases
are suffering for the necessaries OF life.
The posts In these counties have ex-
hausted their relief funds and are power
less to relieve our suffering comrades
and their families. These cases call for
an exercise OF charity. which Is the
browning jewel of our order.
Yours in fraternity. charity and 10y

Now that the authorised beef law of
Colorado mas gone into effect, requiring
all fresh meats intended for human food
III that state to be inspected in the live
animal within the state, it is understood
that its constitutional.ty will be tested
as soon as a case can be arranged. The
decision of the question will be looked
for with interest throughout the country,
as upon it will doubtless depend the &C
ton or non-action Of other states in the
matter of similar legislation. In this
connection it may not be amiss to re-
mark that the arguments presented be-
fore the New York legislature in favor
of such law, mentioned in yesterday S
dispatches, may be carried to the extent
that it will turn to a boomerang, so to
speak. The west has sustained the doc
trine of protection in perfect good faith,
believing it to be for the best interests of
the whole country, but If it is to be
turned against us to our serious injury
it will undoubtedly be received in a DIFF
ferent light.

GONE FOR GOOD.

Of all the mean outrageS eyer COM
mitted against a people at the behest or
suggestion of mere cheap official
turnkey, was the order transferring the
United States land Office of Wichita and
the business of the Wichita land district
to Topeka, two hundred miles away.
The order is in the nature of high
handed crime, instigated by a political
sneak and made valid by an official
skunk. On the grounds that the papers
and books had been moved the officers
under the new administration now say
they can do nothing. The books and
papers have not been removed. There
may be more, probably is more to
this outrageous order than appears
on its face, as the dispatches
more than intimate that certain MEM
bers of the Kansas delegation did not de-
sire to have the order revoked. If the
business of the Independence land Office
had been moved to Wichita, or the bus
mess of Wichita taken to Larned, it
would not have proved such hardship
as it now must to a great many people.
What our representatives and senators
in Washington were doing to permit
such things we cannot understand. We
thought for awhile that maybe their time
was taken up in securing good Offices for
Kansas, but subsequent results don't
seem to sustain that thought to any
alarming extent.

In his recent appointments President
Harrison seems to recognize the power of
the press.-Capitsl-Commonwealth.
Our neighbor undoubtedly alludes to
the Kansas press. Next to the dollar
the 'press" is big thing. The Capital
undoubtedly did noble work in the late
campaign, but a man who don't live a
stones throw from it, who contributed
dollars instead of brains to the last cam
paign, finds himself a bigger man in
Washington than the entire press of
Kansas and its congressional delegation
combined. And we don't except her
senators in this connection. And that's
what's the matter with Tom.

The periodic outbreak of fence cutting
is again tormenting Texas rancheros.
The fence question appears to be the
basis of an an irrepressible conflict in
the Lone Star state, fer, despite the
ceaseless efforts of the legislature to dis
pose of it on equitable terms, it breaks
out afresh every spring with epidemic
regularity and virulence. The only way
TO settle the matter in controversy be-
tween the settlers and the cattle men is
for the state to induce immigration
enough to take up and occupy the large
areas of public lands, the privilege of
occupying which by the latter to the in
convenience of the former that is the
the settlers and cattle men) being the
nut of the question at issue.

A KANSAS BOY IN ROME.

A late issue of an Italian paper, print
ed in Rome, contains a column account
of the life and so forth of Glenn Miller,
a Kansas boy, who attended the state
university and was school chum of
Bunny Mead of this city. Miller, we
understand, is nephew of Hon. Sol.
Miller, editor of the Kansas Chief and
known by everybody in the state. How
eyer that may be Glenn embarked in a
realestate investment in Wichita through
his friend Mead and as consequence
has been doing Europe for some time
and in most delightful way we should
judge from his racy letters to the Chief.

In the city of Fort Worth, Texas, there
has been constructed a palace in which
it which it is purposed TO make an ex-
hibit, a little later in the spring, of the
various products of the state, both the
fields, factories and mines. The object
of the Spring palace, as it is termed and
as set forth in the published announce
ments of the enterprise, sis to exhibit
Texas to the people from other states,
and to induce northern men and women
to see the south for themselves-to see
and hear the people of the south for the
promotion of freer intercourse and closer
bonds of union and fraternity With
such objects and such an exposition as
the Spring Palace viii be, no doubt it
will be eminently worthy and will doubt
less prove very popular attraction.

Topeka is indeed novel town, but
the NOVELIST of all its novelties was the
spectacle of coronsr's jury holding an
inquest over the body of man, the sub

prospects of recovery. 1t is perhaps
proper to state that that the new metro

nothing to do with the case.

THE OKLAHOMA Ev1cT1oNs.
From the WASHINGTON City Post.

From the Washington City Post.
Another .sinyasion" of Oklahoma
Another rout and dispersion of the in
vaders. The old story over again. The
cattle bsrons still live. The govern
ment is silent.
1t is quite likely that the two thousand
or more colonists who had made their
way into the interior of the coveted ter
ritory as far as Oklahoma City did so on
misinformation or rash advice. They
went in with the expectation of being
permitted to remain. But it seems that
they were trespassers, and they had to
get out in hurry.
AT the same time it doesn't look well
to see the United States army employed
in raiding settlements that have been
made in good faith, burning cabins,
and hunting down men, women and
children at the sabre point, like so many
fug1tives from justice. Cannot some
thing be done towards an adjustment of
this Oklahoma difficulty that will spare
the country repetition of such barbar-
Gus and revolving spectacles:
We are told that these intending set
tiers are mob, but MODS are not usual
ly built that way. Mobs, as rule,
don't take their women and children and
household goods along with them. Mobs
don't break prairie, put in crops, build
improvements, lay the foundations OF
peaceful and prosperous communities.
There must be some mistake about this
invasion" being mob. 1t may have
been misguided, but it was made Of the
same stuff that has moved the center of
the empire west. and erected Gordon of
mighty states along the frontier. 1t
is a movement that ought not to be
trified with or be allowed to trife with
itself.
Would it not be the wiser policy, there
fore, for the president to announce at
once the course be intends to pursue! 1t
is the suspense and uncertainty sur
rounding the matter that creates the
trouble. Let these people be informed
that the lands in question will be opened
for settlement at certain early date, or
that they will not be opened until GER
tain more remote date, and they will
govern themselves accordingly, wait
with patience, commit no more mistakes,
turn deaf ear to the bad adviser and
give no further occasion for calling out
the troops to destroy their property and
terrify their families.
