Southern cities which are boasting
of largely increased population should
remember that their growth has been
the result of great booms in protected
industries. The triumph of democ-
racy and free trade would result in a
collapse more rapid than the expansion
has been. This fact alone ought to
break up the solid south and make the
people of that section do little more
thinking in connection with their vot-

No better proof of the prosperity
of the American nation is needed than
that which is embraced in its rapid
payment of the war debt. Twenty-Five

end of the last month it had been re-
duced to nearly $3.50, 200, 900. 1t is a

The Seasons Outlook.

AS the REFLECTOR said yesterday
the corn crop of Dickinson county, like
that of most of the western states
must be counted as practically a fail
ure for this season. 1t is hard to ad-
NIT it for upon her corn does Kansas
greatly depend, but it is the fact never
theless.
But it need cause no uneasiness in
Dickinson county. This is one of the
richest and most substantial sections
of Kansas and is prepared for a fail
ure of one cereal. 1t has just har-
vested a magnificent crop of wheat and
a fair one of oats. Last year it raised
more corn than the railroads could
carry out of the county and thousands
and thousands of bushels of it are still
in the hands of the farmers. Those
who held their surplus are congratulate
ing themselves and their less fortunate
ueighbors can learn lesson from their
forethought.
Farming in Kansas must be done
with intelligence and thoughtfulness to
succeed. The man who lives only in
the present, puts all his trust in one
product, lays not up store against the
morrow does not succeed in Kansas or
elsewhere, This is being learned by
the bitter school of experience and Kan
sas is the better for it.
The raising of cattle and horses and
diversity of crops will put the state on
a substantial basis and make its pros
perity enduring.
In many counties of Kansas the corn
will be an entire failure. In some there
has been no wheat and will be little
corn. Here we are better off than that
and with plenty of fodder, surplus corn
on hand and a good wheat crop we
should not complain.

The Democratic County Convention which meets to-day, should place itself upon record in regard to the question of Arizona becoming State and espec- ially instruct their legislative candi- dates in respect to the matter, and at the same time bear in mind that the Territory has neither the population nor taxable property to support State. For the information of the Convention we aver that the population of the Ter ritory is 57, 900 including Indians hold ing lands in severaity, and that the taxable property is BPS, ,O50, 234, These figures are official and not to be gain saved. The fifteenth (the last) legis- laytive assembly, through the instru- mentality of unprincipalled politicians unwittingly committed . grave error in stating in memorial asking Congress to pass Ian enabling act" that the population was 100, ,000 and that the taxables were $75, ,O0O, 900.

The repeal of the clause of the Irri- gation Act of October 2d, 1888, by the passage of the Sundry Civil bill of a few days age and its signing by the President makes very important change in our land laws. While 1t re- opens arid lands to settlement it cuts down the amount of land a settler can take up, 320 acres The law is inter preted by the friends of the bill and by the conference committee of the House and Senate that finally made the ad- justment, that if settler takes up 320 acres under the Desert Land Act, after the passage of this bill, he loses all rights under homestead, pre-emption and timber culture acts; or if he takes up I6O acres each under the homestead and pre-emption acts, he loses all priv ileges under the desert land and timber culture acts, etc. In short, he can ouly take up 320 acres Phoenix Herald.
