The wise seeker for home where he
and his may enjoy the reward of their
toll with nothing to modest or make them
afraid, will hardly elect to go into the
semi-tropical south where the burning
sun makes the life of the outdoor laborer
a burden, while it scorches and withers
vegation in midsummer and floods and
tornadoes of winter devastate the land
and hold the inhabitants in continual
dread suspense; but he viii speed his
way to the matches meridian, to kingly
Kansas, where pleasure and plenty
awaits the reasonable endeavors of will
ing and industrious workers.

a BRIGHT PROSPECT.

An era of better times than have ever
been enjoyed is just now beginning to
make itself felt in Kansas. The late ad-
vance IN farm products has infused new
life into all lines of business, especially
among the farmers. The advance in
corn from Is to 90 cents is stimulating a
liberal movement in that cereal and an
immense amount of it is finding its way
market. The acreage put to corn this
year will be larger than last, and much
of it has already been planted. The
growing wheat never gave better
promise at this period in the season than
it does now. So with other small grains
and grasses, while the prospects for an
abundant fruit crop is believed fully
equal to the best the state ever had at
the present time of the season. Taken
all together, therefore, from the agricul-
tural point of view there is everything to
encourage and nothing to depress.

A GIANT OF THE WEST.
The Marvellous Growth Of Wichita and
Its Promising Future.
From the Utica On. - Globe.

From the Utica On. " Globe
There is town in southern Kansas that
challenges the world to bring out its equal
of the most wonderful of many wonderful
happenings in the great west. Where to-
day metropolitan city shelters 10000
people, a score of years ago was a vast
stretch of prairie land. In 1870 an eastern
journalist took up his abode on these
plains and soon informed the civilized
world that a new metropolis had been
born on the banks Of the Arkansas river.
In short time in rudely constructed huts
hundreds of fortune seekers had made
their homes and started that booming
business which has brought wealth to
them and given renown to their city. As
result of this twenty years of booming,
Wichita has 10000 inhabitants, magnif-
cent business blocks, electric lights, and
electric railways that takes one miles into
the suburbs, several huge packing houses,
a big area devoted to stock yards, and
seven or eight railways, radiating from the
town like spokes in wheel.
The airs and conceits of the Wichitans
are quite amusing. They have their board
of trade, their chamber of commerce, their
stock yards, their packing houses, and the
shrewd boomers have so laid out their
town that it takes almost as long to get
into it by rail as it does into Chicago One
cannot but smile to hear the train brake |
men roar out the name of the various sta
tions which must be passed before the
heart of the city is reached. There is North |
Oak street, Wichita street and |
Union depot The halt at each of these
stations never fails to impress the traveller
with the municipal breadth and area of
Wichita. True, the city is not solidly
built up butween these stations, and here
and there a clump Of trees or farmyard
1btrudes itself, but it is all Wichita.
The growth of the city in the past has
been marvellous, but the future promises
wen greater things. Millions of eastern
capital are invested in its enterprises and
millions more are waiting for an oppor-
unity to invest. There will be a great
manufacturing interest here some day,
md the packing industry will undoubt-
,dly grow until it may rival that of Kan
as City. When the Cherokee strip is
opened to settlement that also will reveal
IN empire Of wealth tributary to the Kan
as metropolis. And so, while some people
ire disposed to laugh at the pretentions of
Wichita and amUse themselves at the ex-
'ense of her boomers, the latter, it must ]
,e admitted, are building up a beautiful
nd substantial city. Truly the boom
business is good business.

Nonresident seeker aftel

Nonresident seeker after investments,
how many have you: hundred? thou
sand9 a million? The best place on the
top side of earth for you TO plant them
with view to sure and profitable returns
is right here in Wichita and southern
Kansas. Wichita is now the greatest
city In the grandest state in the Amer
lean Union, and both are going to be in
finitely greater and grander; it is bound
to be, as sure as destiny can make it so.
Besides the superabundant natural re-
sources that only need the touch of mans
genius and energy to develop them, this
city IS located in the very midst of the
great southwest and is its natural and
only commercial metropolis.
This vast territory, larger than Europe
less Russia, is comparatively unsettled,
but soon it will be sentient with popula-
ton, wealth and civilization, and TO
Wichita will it be tributary for its most
essential supplies. To be in Kansas at
all IS to make a living, to go into business
secures a competence, and to invest in its
soil Is TO win fortune.

IF the silver bill, as agreed upon by the
joint Republican caucus of the senate

which it is to be presented to the two
houses, the Globe-Democrat says cit
would absorb all the silver produced in
this country and some of the foreign
product in addition If that is the case
it will present the very odd spectacle Of

privilege of using foreign product that
it must have: vide the proposed tariff on

GLORIOUS WHEAT PROSPECTS IN
KANSAS.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City star.
The damp, cool weather which has
predOminated in this section for some
weeks past is exerting an influence upon
the wheat crop which brings JOY to the
heart OF the farmer. Nothing could be
more favorable to the growing crop, and
there IS now a steady improvement in ats
condition. This is especially notable IN
Kansas. where the percentage is much
higher than IN any other state IN the
union, and the acreage exceeds by con
siderable extent that Of last year. It Is
expected that that state viii produce
nearly if not quite, 40. 900, 900 bushels Of
wheat this year, and the present indica-
tiOns are that prices viii rule much
higher next fall than they did last season.
The advance in the price Of corn came in
time to encourage the farmers TO plant
the usual acreage. and confidence in that
product as a leading source Of wealth
seems 70 have been fully restored. 1t IS
safe 10 say that If Kansas Is favored with
such crop this year As she harvested
last season she viii find a way % utilize
it to better advantage and viii make It
command a much larger sum Of money.
The revival Of the cattle interests viii
make this easily possible and the manner
in which farmers are stocking mp with
cattle and hogs shows that the hard ex-
periepces through which they have just
been passing have had their benefiCent
uses. In the language Of Mr. Sil2s
Wegg. There amt nothin' 70 blow
about IN the present outlook in Kansas.

vancement which govern other members
of political society" and to this end
strong declarations are added in fapor of
education and of moral reform.
1t is decidedly refreshing to see the
colored men of southern state taking
such prudent and sagacious action upon
a subject of so much importance 10 both
races. They are thoroughly correct in
the view that it Is a waste of time for
them to seek political relief alone for
their miSfortuneS. 1t Is not IN the power
of the government TO make them pros
porous and happy, respected and influen-
tial, by any kind of laws. They must
work out their own salvation for the
most part, without special assistance. 1t
is idle for them TO expect that more will
be done for them than Is done for white
men in like circumstances. Whenever
they ask for anything simply because
they are black, they make grave mis-
take, and practically use the same logic
that is employed to justify discrimina-
ton against them. They have now had
a quarter of a century of freedom,
and the country thinks that they
should be able by this time TO take care
of themselves and to make reasonable
progress in all directions. 1t is true that
they have unusual hindrances to contend
with, and all proper allowance Is made
for them on that account; but 1t Is not
true that the government can remove
those hindrances, and they should cease
to look for such service. They can COM
pei full consideration of their rights by
proving themselves worthy of public con
fdence and esteem. The task is one
which can be performed only by their
own hands and only so fast as they inn
prove their chances. That is the great
lesson of their experience since the time
of their emancipation. Let them heed it,
and the future will deal kindly with
them, as individuals and as a class.

TREAT 1T FAIRLY.

1t would be a great mistake for the
press and the politicians to attempt to
snuff out the Farmers Alliance. An
organization so general, which holds its
meetings not behind closed doors or on
special occasions, but in the coun-
try school houses that dot our
prairies and constitute the uni
versities of the people can not
fail to be a great power in the land.
1t is a menace to monopolies and COM
bines of every sort. 1t is the part of
demagogue to fall down and worship it
as political idea, but it is certainly
entitled to a fair and candid treatment in
all its propositions.-Chicago Inter
