Horses and Music.

Recent Investigations in France 90 to
prove that the horse ha, no car for
music, and only slight undcrs landing
of time and military signals. Several
circus men confessed TO the Investigators
that they had never seen horse with
musical instincts. The popular dclusion
that trained horse occasionally waltzcs
in time with music, they said, was IN
supported by experience. Tho music
was always played to suit tho step of
the horse, which was regulated by signs
from the trainer. Most war horses wero
found to pay little attention to a signal
for charge, save when 1rouscd by he
significant movements of rider. A
troop of ridcrlcss cavalry horses wcre

together, tho Investigations concerning
horses on the field Of battle went to
prove that the traditional ly intelligent
war horse could not mako q correct
movement in fight, save under its
riders constant guidance.

To the east is the Burlington Route

proved until it has reached a degree of
excellence surpassed by none; and equal

Having taken breakfast on one of the
BurliDgtOn's world renowned dining cars
he is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tons.
For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the ELI" takes dining car
out Of Kansas City on which east-bound
passengers are served with a supper
which is eqnaled by few hotels.
The Burlington's st. Lonis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
future to he the favorite line between the
Missouri river and st. Louis. This train
consisting of through sleepers, chair cars
and coaches leaves Kansas City, Atchison
and st. Joseph after supper and puts the
passenger in st. Louis for breakfast, and
ample time to make all connections.

Local issues alone are what partially
defeated the Republican party In
Iowa. The transportation and pro-
hibition questions are what did the
work. Those who opposed prohibi-
ton had just as much reason to vote
for democracy last year as this; but
no governor nor legislature was to
be elected then who would have
general control of the enlargement
of the law or who could strengthen
or repeal the same. This year they
struck at the. power Of legislation
and enforcement. Nationally,
the party is as sound to-day as it
was in 1883. Mr.. Cleveland's state
ments to the contrary, the tariff
was not the issue. Local issues
alone entered into the contest and
these states will give the usual re-
publican majority at the next ma
tional contest.

The talk about excessive mort
gage loans in the west, which start
ed from the extraordinary falsehood
that Kansas has a farm mortgage
Indebtedness of s135, 100000, causes
the New Orleans Picayune to pred
let that capitalists and immigration
would now turn to the south and
the course of prosperity and swift
swift development which has been
running through the west will also
swerve southwark. 1t considers
that the west is approaching crisis
and that the crisis will precipitate a
kind of general crash in western Sc
curities, in short that the west was
a sort of back number. and so on.
In fact, it is clear that the Picayune
is absolutely unacquainted with the
extent of the west, the variety of
its products and the scope of its re-
sources, and suffers under a peculiar
and prize ignorance Of what the
west has done during the present
year The area that the Picayune
considers played out comprises some
thing over half the national domain
and yields over half the entire agri-
cultural, meat and mineral products
of the country, and its prosperity is
absolutely essential to the welfare
of the whole country. IL the west
collapsed, intead of a transfer of
prosperity to the south, there would
be period Of the worst depression
and stagnation in the United States
that has ever been experienced.
When those who see in the mort
gage indebtedness of western farmers
a menace to the country's welfare.
study what ratio that Indebtedness is
to the annual return which the
farms bear, there will be less dread
of a collapse. Farm mortgages in
Kansas do not exceed, all told, $50,
100000, while the product of the
farms this year will amount in value
to s200,0OO,00O. The mortgage in
debtedness represents improvements
in the soil of vast extent, the pur-
chase Of the best farm machinery
and the various items Of expense in
shape to do better work. Ths last
few years have been time of severe
trial and of largely increased indebt-
edness. But the tide has turned
and the next few years there is good
reason to believe. will be debt pay
ing period. The experience of hard
times has tested the courage and en-
durance of our farmers and has prov
ed them to be of the best stock.
For faith, perseverance, pluck and
energy the western farmer has estab-
lished a character for the world to
admire. He is game all through.
He has come out of trying ordeal
and is not to be discouraged now
that things are coming his way.
Farm lands are cheap in Kansas and
throughout the west. For a man
who knows how to farm, there is no
field SO inviting. This is no time
to look for collapse. If the editor
of the Picayune were to come out
west he would find that the farmers
never felt so good as they feel just
now, because they know that the
crisis has been passed -Can;tal
