"It is magnificent" the city editor an

..For instance said the city editor, taking
no notice Of the reporters enthusiasm, "you
say that Walraven located in this portion Of
the country"
Yes; do you like the way express itg'
Il am delighted. Some writer-old Pink

that Walraven settled in this part Of the

"Oh, no; not at all Here is another ex-

the leaves of the manuscript. "You say that
Walraven went to hardware establishment

That's good, isn't i;!'

said that he went to a hardware store and
bought a rifle"
''That's because he is rather low in his

"What would Pinkney have saidr'
''Oh, i'll his vulgar way he would have said
that Walraven ate supper or luncheon or

said the reporter.
1t seems that he should. By the way, we

Speaker Reed has fully demonstrat.
ed his ability to control the house nc
matter how turbulent the minority
NAV try to be. When the democrats
began to filli5uster ~ refusing to vote
on the motion of Representative Dal-
zell to take up the contested case of
Smith VS.. Jackson, in order to break
a quorum, he took the bull by the
horns and instructed the clerk to enter
the names OF the democratic members
present as not voting, and then de-
clared a quorum present. This raised
as great row for while as was ever
seen in the house. Members stood
upon the chairs and desks and yelled
themselves hoarse, but above all the
din stood the commanding figure of
the speaker, quietly giving his reasons
and they were good ones, for making
the decision. He only followed the
example of Governor Hill when he pre-
sided over the State Senate of New
York, and of democratic speaker in
the Legislature of Tennessee. Mr..
Reeds action is generally commended
by republicans, though there are few
that think the precedent dangerous

The Foreign Market and Cost Of Trans.

Topeka Copital.
"If,'' says the National Tribune, lit
costs so cents bushel to carry wheat
from Kansas City to Liverpool, the
farmer in Kansas who raises 25 BUSH
els to the acre, pays tax of $3.50
per acre rs penalty for his remote
ness from market. As Kansas raised
about 100000 bushels of wheat
last year of which fully one-half had
to be sold abroad, her farmers paid
over 81, 600, 900 taxes on wheat alone,
because there were not operators and
other consumers sufficient to take up
their surplus stock. as near as Kansas
City. Every factory built up in this
country, and especially in the West, is
direct enhancement of the value of
the farming lands there, and increase
of the profits of the business of farm
ing
The figures on the amount of Kan
sas' crop are more than so per cent of,
but taking the correct figures of 35,-
600, 900 bushels of wheat, and assum-
ing half of it to be exported at so
cents for costof transportation, the
loss on the amount exported because
of remOteness from market would be
nearly s9,OO0,OOe in place of 81, ,OOO,-
900. In urging that a wide diversity
of industries helps the farmer by re-
lieving him of the necessity of selling
abroad, the Tribune presents a true
view of protection from the farmers
standpoint. The depression which has
visited agriculture is not due to protec-
ton, as the Capital has many times
shown. AS matter of fact the United

Immigration.

The state immigration bureau re.
Gently organized at Wichita, through
the secretary, Mr.. Hale Cowley, states
that over so of the 106 counties in the
state have formally organized, and
appointed their directors. The secre-
tary, in circular recently issued,
says.
'No time should be lost by counties
not organized, for spring excursions
must be very soon arranged for; and
further, the expense Of each county
for the maintenance of the state bu-
reau is so small that it can be raised
at intervals without any county feeling
or knowing it. 1t will be done in the
shape of a request from the executive
board of the bureau when needed for
the actual running expenses of the
executive department and will entail
no debt or levy upon the counties. Of
course your local expense will be gov
erned by yourselves. All the adver-
tising matter you may see fit to fur
nish for your county will be distribut-
ed free in the east if you are embraced
in the state work, and feature of the
method endorsed by the state conven-
ton, and which has been so success
fully operated in other states, and
which we adopt in measure, is this:
that each county have one of their
papers devote an entire issue at least
once month to such matter as will
be an exposition in fact of your coun-
ty, and intended to stimulate immi-
grafton and bring people to Kansas,
and that 1000 copies of said paper be
furnished the Kansas immigration
bureau for distribution, reserving as
many for your own distribution as
you may desire, and doing all the 9th
er advertising you may deem best.
By this means it will be seen that the
bureau will have once or twice a month
at least one-half million copies of
fresh matter, written by at least one
hundred different writer's from all
parts of the state, to distribute in the
east at the least possible cost
Any plan is all right which will
place facts relative to Kansas before
eastern people. A Aspecial effort should
be made this year to induce eastern
home seekers to visit Kansas. With
the hundreds and thousands of acres
of growing wheat, our we'll filed gran
aries from last years crops, our grow
ing and progressive towns and cities,
our splendid farms, rich soil and de-
lightful climate, will captivate the Wis
