that a moderate rate of duty on raw silk

bring the price down so that the com

discussion above referred to, and that is
that but little more than one-ninth of
the land in Minnesota is under cultlva-
ton. And while that fact may
initiate against them up there some
what, upon the idea that settlements
are sparse and many of the advantages
of civilization lacking, still this can
and will no doubt be largely overcome
by the extra inducements offered In the
way of cheap lands, and SO forth. These
points are worthy of consideration by
convention that meets in this city next
Monday in planning its lines OF action.
They should certainly serve to stimulate
a lively interest and energetic action in
every county and by all our people who
feel an interest in the future progress
and development Of our state.
With the counter movements In our
neighboring states the immigration
movement in Kansas takes new phase;
instead of being matter of expediency
as it would be, largely, without such
rivalry-it becomes at once one Of neces-
sity, as question of self-defense. 1t is
gratifying to see the matter receiving

A GROWING PROPOSITION.

Since the discussion of the immigra-
ton question was begun here and has
extended all over the state, and the
prospect for an influx of desirable and
much desired population and capital
into our midst has become SO tlattering,
g like interest is springing up IN other
states of the west. The need Of such a
revival is felt up in Minnesota, and
already steps are being taken to inaugu-
rate movement IN that state after the
Kansas plan, to the extent, at least, of
making ii state effort. The Minnesota
movement had its initiation in st. Paul
the chamber of commerce of that place
starting the ball rolling, so to speak. by
formal action embodied in the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted Tuesday of last week:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
chamber that the question of an intelli-
gent, continuous and elective system of
state immigration Is OF vital importance,
not only to the farming interests of the
state but to the smaller towns and larger
cities as well.
Resolved, That the committee on statis-
llCS anu correspondence Uc 10
formulate and submit TO this board a
definite plan for encouraging the right
class of immigration, with the purpose Of
forming public sentiment on the subject
and thus securing legislative action upon
Ii in 1891.
The discussion that followed the intro
duction of the resolutions brought out a
state of case in that state very like our
own in Kansas. In that state as in this
the railroads, when they first obtained
land grants, worked in the interest of
immigration TO the state, but after their
lands were fairly occupied in the state,
worked practically against it with a
view to settling their lands to the west.
Prompted by selfish interests. as we all
are more or less. the railroads are per
haps not blameable for such action, but
il leaves the burthen of the situation,
that is to take up the work begun ard
successfully carried ON for time by the
roads, upon the people of the state.
Another fact Was brought out IN the

WHAT'S TIE MATTER?

Meat and bread are the two prime
necessities of life demanded by human
ity everywhere. In the production of
meat and bread Kansas, for her age,
leads all other domains. Yet Kansas.
today, suffers because for these PRIME
commodities she can secure no adequate
price. Civilization may deny itself, for
the time being, OF iron and all other
minerals, of woolens and cottons and of
all the luxuries of sweets and fruits, and
of every other product of the soil. but
bread and meat are in continuous and
ever increasing demand, yet Kansas can
not get the actual first cost of her meat
and bread products. What's the matter:

WILL ATTEND THE WICHITA CON-
VENTION.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The movement at Wichita for State
immigration Bureau was given consid-
cradle attention by the board of trade at
Its meeting last night, and delegation
of nine were appointed to attend. The
attention of rural organizations in Wy
andotte county was also called to it,
and urged to assist with delegates.
There is wide spread feeling that the
year 1890 is to be one of great prosperity
the country over, and that in the way of
crops and general development, Kansas
will come in for a share. The city boom
business has been exhausted, everybody
is satisfied with that, and this Is move
ment more in the interest of farm lands.
1t is history over again. Good crops
will have their effects. The cheapness
or worthlessness of products do not begin
to compare with their total absence
There is life III good crops, and Kansas
will move forward. The Wichita move
ment is go d scheme, and should enlist
the attention of every portion of the
state. The call is for representatives
from all the state at large, to meet at
Wichita, 2 y. M, next Monday, the 18th,
to form d State immigration Bureau.
There Is no point IN the state with
greater interest in its development than
Kansas City, Kansas. From two hun
dred to four hundred cars of grain are
received at this point every day. Facil-
tiles are constantly increasing to enlarge
this. This will undoubtedly be the
great trade center of the state, and there
is no duty more important than that we
should give attention to movements of
this character for the general good Of
the state.

WICHITA'S LOYALTY.

1t is the popular thing for state Off
the query: SIS Wichita bigger than the
state of Kansas" The truth is no city
in Kansas was ever more loyal to the
state than Wichita and only narrow
minds OF bIautant demogogues ever
questioned that fact. The following ex-
tract from letter written to the Kansas
City Gazette by citizen of this city
fairly expresses the feeling of our people:
Our politics is Wichita" and our re-
ligion kansas" and as religion must
take precedence of politics, we are for
Kansas first.
Our surroundings are rivals not TO be
despised, and our future, considering the
Indian country and Texas, are such that
this seems to me to be the year for Kan
sas to get in a full harvest.
Whilst we know that the fate of Kan
sas City, Kan, is wrapped up in the
mendicant on the east, the parasite that
lives and fattens on the "oak tree" Civ
ing but little, if anything in return, we

Kan, may be the city i'll commerce
and wealth. That is, man with one
hundred thousand dollars can do better
in Kansas City, Kan, than a man with
half q million can do in Kansas City,
Mo. His investment will be less, his
dividend greater, his future brighter,
and his chances of loss less.
We have worked earnestly to make
this movement as broad as the pralries,
and we have no lake to grind no
selfish scheme to work; we simply wish
to see $50, 900 people come to Kansas to
live this year-1S90-and we feel that
every man in Kansas should have deep
interest in the success of this movement.

THE GARTER MUST GO.

Tight corsets have always been fa-
vorite aversion with a large portion of
the medical profession, and now war is
declared against the garter. 1.-The great
est injury done by the garter" says
Berlin physician, is the disturbance of
the circulation of the blood in the lower
leg. The pressure of the garter prevents
the influx there of fresh blood, and that
part of the body thus deprived of nour-
ishment, remains undeveloped. 1t is
weak, and often refuses to do its duty in
walking. The flow of blood already
used from the leg below the garter is
also retarded, and very peculiar phenom-
ena often follow.

A GREAT Law WHEN ENFORCED.

From the Lawrence Journal.
We have no desire to whack Wichita,
as the EAGLE claims. When we noted
the coincidence between Wichita's start
ling number Of divorce cases and her
very notorious disregard of one Of the
most elevating and praiseworthy of the
statutes of the state we were merely en-
phasizing conclusion that is evident to
most people, namely, that the whisky
habit is inevitably attended by other
evils, and that unhappy families, and
hence Divorce cases, are especially to be
noted as results of iptemperance. The
Journal assuredly has no ill will toward
Wichita. On the contrary, it joins with
the whole state in justifiable pride be-
cause of the wonderful growth and pros
perity of this business center of the south.
and only lameuts that city SO creditable
to the state should be, for the present, SO
strangely antagonistic to certain most
beneficial state statute.

ONE OF WICHITA'S NEW ROADS.

The management of the Kansas City,
Wyandotte & Northwestern railway,
who have made arrangements to project
their line to this city, are a plucky COM
bination. They not only propose that
their line shall be one of the trunk lines,
but that the other trunk lines shall recog
nize it as such. We are in receipt of a
circular from Col. Newman Erb, vice
president and general manager of the
Kansas City, Wyandotte & Northwestern
Railway company, in regard to their APP
plication, more than two years ago, to
be admitted to equal passenger facilities
in the union depot at Kansas City with
other roads, upon which application,
thus far, no action has been taken by the
Union Depot company, though the COM
plainants were infoemed by the presi-
dent of tbs depot company that no other
lines could be admitted on account OF the
crowded condition Of the station. Since
then the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska,
the Chicago, Santa Fe & California and
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas have been
admitted. 1t is the opinion of General
Manager Erb that under their charter
the Union Depot company can be COM
PEELED to furnish all railroads connecting
with its tracks equal facilities. He be-
lieves that the great disadvantages they
are laboring under and the loss Of bust
ness to common points and connections
are such as to require equalization. For
these reasons passenger fares on their
lines viii be reduced January Is to two
cents per mile; half rate one and one
half cents per mile, and 1000 mile
tickets SIS.
