KANSAS AND THE NEW CENSUS.

According TO a table sent us yesterday
from an official of the departments at
Washington, the census of Kansas shows
that she has, in ten years, ,overtaken and
passed four states in the union, viz:
North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi
and New Jersey, and that she now stands
the sixteenth state in population, follow
ing next to Wisconsin, and leading Min
nesota. California, South Carolina Louis
lana and Maryland and all the New Eng
land states except Massachusetts,.
According to this table, under the
present apportionment, Kansas would
have thirteen electoral votes, and eleven
congressman. But if the apportionment
be increased from 154, 900 to POO, 600 Kan
sas would have eight congressman and
ten electoral votes with total pOpula-
ton of 1850, 900 as against $4,000 in
1880. Under the new appOrtionment
New York nor Indiana nor Ohio, singly,
can decide the presidential election. The
Democrats will have to have New York
and Indiana or the Republicans could
lose New York, Idaho, Wyoming and
Montana and still win.

MORE LIGHT AND Explanations.
That Matter Of Difference Between
Governor Humphrey and the Re-
submission Convention.

The following correspondence between
Hon. NJ. w. Levy and Governor Hum
phrey explains itself, even if it should
fail to prove satisfactory to the parties
most interested.
WICHITA, August 80, 1890.
Hon L. U, Humphrey, Topeka, Kansas:
Dear Sir-During the month OF May,
gentleman from various parts OF the state,
holding In common with you the same
political utilization but dlfferlng on the
question of prohibition, addressed you a
communication requesting conference on
this and other subject matters pertaining
to the vital interests of our party. TO be
held at such time and place as might best
suit your convenience. In accordance with
such request, You selected the 23d day of
May. AT that time large number OF per-
sons met at the capital city, appointed
committee TO notify you OF their presence
and requesting you to name the hour,
when a memorial could be delivered set
ting forth the effect of prohibitory laws on
immigration and the consequent injury TO
the best interest of this commonwealth.
The committee returned 10 the appointing
power and reported the time liked TO DE 2
O'Clock p. m. At that hour several nun
dred Republicans met in the house or rep
resentatives and duly organized them
selves, and in accordance with pre-arranged
agreement, informed you a committee OF
which Colonel Murdoch OF this city was
chairman, that the ResubmIsslon Repuo-
licans of the state of Kansas were then
awaiting your presence TO formulate an
address touching on certain issues, OF
which you had been previously informed.
1t is alleged that Notwithstanding an eX-
pressed promise, you declined pre-emptorlly
to appear before this body, thereby agrlev-
ing large number of your fellow citizens
who differed with you upon this one I'M
portant issue. In asmuch as the day and
hour were prearranged as per your request,
in the minds of many there can be no
palliation or excuse for such lnexplicable
action in the premises. The underlying
principle of our government is the right OF
petition. Your refusal to receive such has
been construed as a direct blow on this
we'll defined principle inherent IN the peo-
pie, and as personal insult to those as
sembled by special appointment, consist
ing in a measure of your personal and
political friends, who keenly felt the az
front and considered your action as a Re
publican leader of the dominant party so
grossly at variance with the comfy due
them, that they now deem themselves alb
solved from any allegiance due that party.
Your action admits of various construc-
tions. As no explanation has ever been
given as to the motives governing you at
the time stated, in the interest of yourself
and the party you represent, it would APP
pear to me that you should no longer rest
under this imputation, or remain silent on
the subject. Yours very truly,
NJ w LEVY.

THAT TIN TAX.

1t is stated that a member of congress
name not given was prompted by the
recent discussion of the tin schedule in
the pending tariff measure before the
senate, went to one of the lea ding can
ners of New York and asked him if the
proposed tariff would prove disastrous
to his business, putting the question in
the strongest form, of course. The
Gamer is quoted as saying in reply that
the tariff would only add about 1t cents
per dozen to the cost of small cans and
proportionately to large ones. The Leav-
enworth Times, in an attempted defense
Of the proposed tax, says:
If it should be that the tariff is always a
tax, if las has been the case in everything
else that can be produced in this country
in quantities large enough TO supply our
wants. the tariff shall not result in lower
ing the price, still the tax will not prove
very burdensome. The laboring man
whose dinner basket is taxed will only
have to forego about one chew of tobacco
in order to make up the tax, and while do
ing SO he will have the satisfaction of
knowing he is helping to support hundreds
of laboring men in the tin mines of this
country.
This is the only excuse we have ever
seen set up for perpetrating the out
rage-that "the tax will not prove
very burdensome," that it is
a small matter to the laboring classes
and therefore ought to be cheerfully
submitted to. and for what? Why, simp-
~ to add thai much to the profits of
those who put their money into the
enterprise, and in this case, as heretofore
explained in these columns, the bene-
ticiaries are foreigners whose only inter-
est IN this country is to make what
money out of it they can.
As for the effect the tax will have up
on the wages of the operatives in the
mines and mills, the claim that it will
increase them is all bosh. The rate of
wages is already fixed while there is no
tariff. and the plea that it will not APP
preciably increase the priceNof the pro-
duct to the consumer will be, issused as
an excuse not to increase the pay of
employees. In short, there is no good
and satisfactory reason for imposing ever
50 slight an increase to the burden al
ready borne by the people. The people
are tired of it and if they mean what
they say will not much longer submit
to it.

Southern farmers, especially those of
Georgia, have been especially fortunate
in securing good crops this year. In the
state named crops of all kinds were
never better-the first season in several
years that the state has had anything
like fair crop of anything except cot
ton, and that crop will be the largest
ever produced. This full measure of
success in agriculture, supplemented by
equally as great success in other indus
trial pursuits, will place the southland
well forward on the highway of prosper
ity, And the whole country will rejoice
with it thereat.

The United States imports annually
over 81. 500, 900 worth of eggs. Canada,
Germany, France, Sweden, Norway
Japan and China get this money, that
should remain at home. The poultry
business, especially the egg producing
part of it, ought to receive more atten-
ton from our farmers. There is no
feature of their business that yields so
large a per cent of profit-in fact, it is
about all profit.

Judge Sluss says that the duty of every
honest, earnest Republican of Sedgwick
county this fall seems plain enough, and
that is to vote the straight ticket for the
state officers on the Topeka platform, for
Hallowell on the Dodge City platform
and for the county officers and repre-
sentatives on the Sedgwick county plat
form. There is no conflict between the
platforms and should be none among
Republican voters.

The National Alliance, it is said, is
seriously considering the proposition of
establishing on its own account or of
lending substantial aid to a corporation,
a steamship line between this country
and Europe, the starting point from this
side to be some point on the southern At
lantic coast. Already Charleston and
Savannah are bidding lively for such
designation. but there are many reasons
why some Gulf point should be selected.
In fact Galveston has already taken the
initiative in the direct expectation of ag-
ricultural products from the great agri-
cultural district-the great southwest,
and that point will most likely be en-
dorsed by the Alliance if it shall take an
active interest in the matter.
