a KANSAS GOVERNORS LAST LES
SAGE

When Governor Green. Of Manhattan
was on ms death bed the other day, be
sent for Dir. 4. q. Atwood, editor of the
Manhattan Republic, and dictated to
him this, the governors last message to
the people of Kansas:
1.-The sunset of life approaches. The
long, unequal struggle viii soon be over.
/ am wandering on the frontier Of Time
and camping near its mysterious boun-
Diary. I'll soon find the crossing Of the
mystic river, and know more of the
mysteries of death and destiny. Say 70
my friends in the state, have cherished
Kansas as | would my child. did ali |
could to make it free state. | have
tried every way 10 contribute 10 her
greatness. / rejoics IN her well-earned
fame. / know that In the near future
she will become an empire Of wealth
and population and power. / leave with
her nv benedictlon. Now. when this
weary pilgrimage Of life with me is over
want you to bury me on one Of her
sunny slopes. The angel CT the resu-
rectiou viii find me as easily there Is
anywhere"

IMMIGRATION INTO KANSAS.

| From the Atchison Champion.
The organization of the Kansas State
| Immigration association at Wichita on
Monday, embracing one representative
| from each county, for the purpose OF en-
couraging immigration to Kansas by a
judicious advertising of its attractions,
was timely move, and one which will
bear fruit, if properly and enthusiastical-
ly sustained.
The plan is, we believe, not only to
extensively advertise the state in the
leading journals of this country and Eu-
rope, but to arrange for series OF ex-
cursions from the Eastern and Middle
states to all parts of Kansas, during next
summer and fall. These excursions are
to be in charge of the executive commit
tee of the association who will make
special arrangements for passenger and
freight rates.
There never was, in the history of the
state, more opportune time to enter
upon a movement of this kind than at
present. Kansas is now in a position to
offer greater inducement to homeSeekers,
and seekers for business location, than
ever before.
The price of farm lands is lower than
it has been for several years past, and
lower than it will eyer be again after
this year. Indeed, farm lands may be
bought in Kansas for the next six or
seven months more advantageousiy than
in any other state III the union. These
lands are superb in quality of soil, highly
productive, easily reached by railroads,
convenient to markets, and destined in
the very near future to double and treble
in value. AS to climate, it may be stated
without the least exaggeration, that 1t Is
the perfection of the temperate zone
very short, and on an average, phenom-
enallv mild winters-not to exceed sixty
or seventy days of what may be called
wintry weather, early springs, long sum-
mers and late administrations no
other country on earth can duplicate.
If people anywhere in this country or
Europe want cheap, first class lands, a
magnificent climate, In a state which,
along all lines, IS progressing more rap
idly than any other state on earth, and
which offers more favorable conditions
and combines grander opportunities than
may be found in any other common
wealth in the world, they will come to
Kansas-to any part of it. but especially
to northern and northwest Kansas
section of the state whose glories can not
be overrated and whose advantages, all
told, over any section of the state, are
too pronounced to be ignored.
Let the people come, then, to north
ern and northwest Kansas, and come as
quickly as possible, and they will never
regret II.

Intolerance.

From the Emporia News
Finding himself unable to attend the
resubmission meeting at Wichita We'd
nesday, Judge Foster sent the following
letter TO the secretary of the local club.
The judge feels that more important than
resubmission itself Is the question of
free speech in this commonwealth
Such is the bigotry, virulence and intol-
erance of the political wet nurses of the
brawling brat prohibition. that he who
would express publicly an honest opin-
ion about it must be overwhelmed with
ridicule and scurrilous abuse, as well as
classed as buns, thugs and the offscour-
ings of creation.

If there were no other reason why
freight rates on corn should be reduced
from present figures, which are next to
prohibitive, the fact that they were fixed
by the roads when corn was worth 30
cents bushel is sufficient. If last years
crop had been failure and there were
little or no corn to haul to market the
rates would not be advanced, which
shows that they were placed high
enough TO cover such contingency, on
the average principle as to product and
without regard to the market value of
the product. The railroads can better
afford to transport the corn crop to mar
ket, as long as present ruinously low
prices continue. at actual cost to them
for such service, or even less than cost,
than to maintain present high rates and
thus disable the producers for patroniz-
ing them IN other ways that will afford a
fair profit. There is as much of interest
to the railroads involved in this matter
as to the farmers, and it is hoped they
may be induced to view it in this light,
and so act.

A Great Racing Season,

From the New YORK Sun
Horsemen are predicting a great
racing season for 1890. and from the
number Of entries that are being sent 70
the different jockey clubs the protabili-
ties are that there Will be fully 500
horses in training for races IN different
parts Of America. The American turf is
in a very vigorous condition at present
and many assert that 1t is Dow at its
zenith, and that decline is bound 70
come. TINS has been said for the past
two years, but the sport kept growing
nevertheless.

The interest that is being manifested
by leading colored men throughout the
country. particularly in the south, in the
proposed deportation scheme now before
the senate IN the shape of resolution
introduced by Senator Morgan, of Ala
bana. favoring the proposition as they
do. invests it with an interest and
seriousness that it could not otherwise
have had. In fact, it was generally re-
garded, as it undoubtedly was meant to
be. introduced in the senate simply as a
pretext for a discussion of the race Ques-
ton from southern point of view. and
not with view OF securing any action
on the subject by the government. In
view OF the fact, as Bishop Turner. of
Atlanta, says, that the negro was brought
here against his will, and the further
fact that his continued presence here
bids fair to be an unending cause of dis
sension among the whites as well as be-
tween the races. which will inevitably
spread to all parts of the country-we
say, in view of these things and this later
light that has been thrown upon the de-
portation proposition, it becomes a
serious question and one that may well
enlist the profoundest thought Of our
wisest statesmen.

Capitalists Opportunity.

From the Lawreoce Jo1rnal-
A bushel of corn should never be snip
ped out of Kansas, certainly not at less
than % cents a bushel. Much Of it will
have TO be brought back in off years and
sold at difference in price which will
be greater than the freight both ways.
At the lowest prices for beef and pork it
will bring this amount fed to stock.
There Is certainly no more inviting field
now for the investment of capital than
in corn at present prices.

Another judge condescends O. to

cations laid against him as an officer of

Kentucky, and the parties to the con-
troversy are the governor of the state
and Judge W. L. jackson, of the Jeffer-
son circuit court (the city of Louisville).
The governors structures upon the Judge
Were contained in his message to the
state legislature and imply, if they do
not positively allege, inexcusable negli-
gence III many of the details of the
courts proceeding and an assumption of
executive prerogatives that belong to the
governor. The judge, in his reply,
which is in the shape of communica-
ton 10 the legislature, makes specific de.
Mai of the governors allegations and
counter charges the governor with at
tempting to usurp judicial as we'll as
extra executive functions. 1t is said the
denoument caused profound sensation
in the Legislature, and also that the
Issue thus Joined is liable TO cause a di-
vision among the people state wide.
