KANSAS STATE NEWS.


The meeting of presidents OF the
Farmers Alliance, recently in session at
Topeka, adopted resolution that as
the largest manufacturing establishment
in the State, the smelling works at Ar.
gentine, exists mainly through ores inn
ported from Mexico, and as rulings had
recently been made embarrassing the
importation of this ore. resulting in .
retaliatory tax by Mexico upon our ex-
not to place tariff on this ore, and that
capital invested in this direction be in
good faith protected by not disturbing
the conditions under which these indus
tries sprung up. Congress is earnestly
petitioned for such reciprocal rela-
lions with Mexico as will admit
our products into that country free Of
duty. The committee on resolutions
presented a report, which was adopted
by vote of 43 to u, demanding legis-
lative enactment apportionlng the
shrinkage of farm values that are un-
der mortgage obligations by reason
OF contraction of circulating me-
dunn or other unjust legisla-
ton between the mortgagor and
mortgage in proportion to their re-
spective interests at time mortgage was
drawn; demanding the election of Unit
ed States Senators by the people; de-
handing the election of Railroad Com
missioners by the direct vote of the
people, and that they be given plenary
powers to regulate rates as is now the
law in Iowa; demanding the submission
OF constitutional amendment allow
ing the Legislature to exempt home
steads from taxation, and that cumu-
lative system of taxation be levied on
lands held for speculative purposes by
nOn-residents, aliens or corporations in
proportion to increase of valuation; that
the taxes paid by railroads built by the
aid of county bonds shall be part of the
county school fund: that ''notwithstand-
ing the fact that John j. Ingalls, has
represented Kansas for eighteen years
in the Senate, it is difficult matter for
his constituents to point to single
measure he has ever champiOned in the
interests of the great agricultural and
laboring element of Kansas, and that
we will not support by our votes or in
fluence any candidate for the Legisla-
ture who favors his reelection to the

Olympia is conceded by all to be
the. handsomcst city in the State, and
every citizen Of the commonwealth
will feel a natural and just pride in
such Il Capital City. Yakima and
Ellensburgh are both good towns and
have made very fair progress, but what
is there to recommend them for the
honor of being the Capital of the
State? Had it not been for the money
and influence of one or two real estate
boomers, the former would perhaps
have never been thought of in this
connection. We do not wish to speak
disparagingly of these towns; we adj
mire their thrift and enterprise. We
can afford to be charitable. We have
enough superior advantages to go into
the race on our merits. We do not
need to tear down or belittle our ri
walls, for we do not think that any
person who is not prejudiced can vote
for the removal OF the Capital, be his
residence in Eastern or Western
Washington. Let the voters weigh
well these facts and then roll up a
rousing majority for the place that is
best adapted and most accessible by
both land and sea.

THREE CENTERS.
Their Population and Their Valua-
ton.

North Yakima is surrounded by
Yakima, Klickitat, Kittitas, Franklin
and Skamania counties. Their total
assessed valuation is $11 ,695,61S and
their population 1885. Ellensburg is
surrounded by Kittitas, Douglas and
Yakima counties, assessed ut $1l $780,
269, with a population OF 16,377.
Olympia, the Capital. is surrounded by
Thurston, Pierce, Mason, Chehalis and
Lewis counties, assessed at $45, ,725, sol,
and with a population Of 84,247 ma
jority of 6l ,24l population over all the
counties of Yakima, Klickitat, Kitti-
tas, Franklin. Skamania and Douglas
combined.
1t will be observed that the above
shows the centers of population by
counties. If, however, we take the
center, within circle of 100 miles it
would show much greater advantage
for Olympia, as it would include Seat
tie and King county with population
of G5,O00. and would also include other
populous districts, making total Of
more than one-half the total popula-
tion of the State and eight times the
population within the same radiu us

One Farm Easily Bought.

A method of buying farms which
has been experimental some upon in
the Palouse country is that of giving
q number of bushels OF wheat per
acre, the payments extending over a
series of years.
This has generally been found to be
an exceedingly easy and successful
way for man with but little means,
but strong muscle and plucky heart,
to acquire home and fertile farm,
though the plan has been decried by
some, and assertions made that it
could not be done.
1t can be done and has been done.
A case in point is that of r. Nc
Queen, who three years go purchased
l60 acres near town from Galland
Brothers ON this plan.
He was to pay for the land in
wheat raised upon it, fifty bushels per
acre, the payments being extended
over period OF five years, or ten bush
els per acre per year.
Last year and the previous one he
made the required payments. This
year he has paid, or will pay, the re-
naming thirty bushels per acre and
yet have wheat left. and his farm
clear.
Instead Of five years he has paid for
it in three from what has grown upon
it, and kept enough for his needs.
Can anyone point to any other coun-
try where thirty bushels per acre can
be taken from farm toward liquidat.
ing its Indebtedness in single year
and have wheat left?
What easier way to acquire fine
farm without money than the plan by
which Mr.. Mcqueen Las secured his?

FRANK HURD TALKS.
Tho Mckinley Bill a Great Blow at
the Country's Prosperity.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 2I.-An inter-
view with ex-Congressman Frank
Hurd is printed in the Blade. Mr..
Hurd says the Mckinley bill is the
greatest blow ever struck against the
interest and prosperity of the country
and declares that all persons favoring
reciprocity will be forced to join hands
with the Democrats.
{" How would you raise the govern
mcnt revenues, Mr.. Hurd% the re-
pUItcI askcu MN.
" l would raise the revenues of the
excise taxes; that is taxes on liquors
and tobacco; by taxes on income
above $1,000 and if that does not pro-
duce enough, by tariff duties in this
country on such articles rs coffee and
tea because they are free now and I
would put q tax on them."
"What effect will the workings OF
the new tariff law have on the con-
gressiOnal electionw
"The operations of the bill have
just begun and the effect of the bill will
hardly be appreciated by the day Of
the coming election, and do not ex-
pect it will cut much OF a figure in the
selection of our next congressman.
"The Democrats lost the last house
by divisions, where they ought to have
been united.
"The influence of the tariff discus
sion has been to bring the Democratic
party together everywhere, and the
natural Democratic majority which we
ought to have in the House of Repre-.
sentatives, / think will be returned to
US, not SO much through the enlight.
eminent which will come through the
discussion of the tariff bill, as through
the influence it has had in uniting the
Democratic party"
