LIGHT FROM THE EAST.

For an intelligent discussion of the
political situation in the Big Seventh
district of Kansas we commend our
readers to such papers as the New York
Evening Post, the Boston Journal and
Boston Advertiser. The latter eluci-
dated the matter for the information of
its readers in the following very concise
and intelligent! manner:
Last week the Republicans of the
Seventh Kansas district met and nOml-
mated a farmer for congress- In 1888 that
district threw over 3d. 900 votes for con-
gresham and it includes hardly town of
over 5000 people. They are all farmers in
that district. The convention also adopted
vote (sic) in regard to economic ques-
lions which included the following:
We hereby absolve the nominee of this convention
from the dctatOL OF party caucus upon all economic
questions.
The convention was controlled by the
Farmers Alliance and its nominee will be
elected. He will be elected, however, on
the principles of that Alliance, as a Re
publican, simply because the district has
been overwhelmingly Republican. If it
had been Democratic, he would be elected
as representative of the Alliance in the
Democratic party.
1t is but Just to the Advertiser, how
ever, to state that its conclusions in re-
gard to Colonel Hallowell's election are
correct and that he will as faithfully and
represent the interests of
the farmers of the district, the state and
the country at large as though he had
been engaged in agriculture all his life.

KANSAS COMPLIMENTED.

The Lombard Investment company
| announces an increase of its capital
stock from $3.50, 900 to $4,000. 900, and
a change in the state under which laws
it is incorporated from Kansas to Mis-
souri,. The company has deemed this
course advisable for the following rea-
sons which are taken from The Investor,
its organ:
First Doubt having arisen as to the
availability of the double liability of our
stockholders as an asset, and the stock
! holders being unwilling to assume this
obligation without a corresponding bene-
fit to the company, it was determined to
substitute the substance for the shadow,
and to increase our cash capital to an
amount more than equal to the present
stock and the double liability.
Second. This course seems especially
desirable at this time, also, because of
the increased opportunities for the en-
ployment Of our capital at profitable
rates.
Third. Criticism has been made that
the amount of the company's capital
was disproportionate to the volume of
business transacted. While not ac-
knOwledging the truth of this criticism
because of the fact that the real guaranty
to our loans was in the intrinsic value OF
the property upon which they are Sc
cured generally three times the amount
of the average lOanl, and because of the
careful and approved methods derived
from much experience, yet as the course
indicated above would effectually re-
move this objection, and would also give
an increased sense of security to our in
vestors, it was accepted as an additional
reason for the proposed change"
Whether the company so meant it or
not, as we suppose not, the reasons set
forth contain high compliment to Kan
sas. First. in that it shows that our
laws were framed for the protection of
our own people as well as those of other
states who may wish to do business here.
Second, because it shows the condition
of our people has 50 much improved
that they are not compelled to ask and
accept favOrs on terms wholly OneSided
in their bearings upon the contracting
parties And third, because. as indicat-
ed in the foregoing, the character of our
security-land-has appreciatedin actual
value until its owners are not compelled
to predicate from three to five hundred
per cent of values to secure a loan. The
company named has done an extensive
bus. ness in Kansas heretofore, and so far
as we know or have heard. its dealings
have been fair and honorable. on the
basis upon which its business has been
predicated. 1t has helped many a man
in this state out of a tight place, and
these will entertain kindly feeling for
it, Notwithstanding they have paid lib
orally for the favor5 received and now
owe it nothing.
And we all thank it for the compli-
ment it pays the state in the reasons set
forth in its withdrawal.

Farrell, treasurer The officers are elected
for one year. There will be another meet
ing at Guthrie on Wednesday. August %,
to perfect the organization, and after that
it is the intention to meet yearly.
Nathan n. Block, the young forger of
Saltwater, came to a sad end at Edmond
about o'clock Saturday afternoon. Dep
uty United States Marshal Galbreat, at
that place. was notified that the man was
supposed to be there, and he Immediately
began searching for him. He did not
search long, however, until he found Block
in a saloon and undertook to arrest him.
Instead of surrendering at the command
of the officer, he attempted TO draw his re-
volver, and being prevented started TO run,
and had succeeded in getting some dis
tance away when the marshal shot him in
the foot. a second report Immediately
followed and Block fell dead. When he
was picked up his revolver was found IN
his hands with one load shot out OF it.
The physicians who examined him said
the ball entered the breast and lodged I'M
der his left shoulder. Some suppose he in
tended to shoot at the officer over his
shoulders and the revolver accidentally went
off before ne had raised il to the desired
height, but others think he took his own
life rather than submit to arrest. The
coronerS jury, which was empanelled inn
mediately after the shooting, rendered
verdict-after the examination of twenty
five witnesses-in accordance with the
above facts, and completely exonerated
Deputy Marshal Galbreat from all blame
His remains were BROUGHT to Guthrie Mon
day morning and placed in charge of an
undertaken until his mother is heard from.
His mother is a very wealthy New York
lady, who no doubt, would have lavished
any luxury on her son to have kept him at
home and averted so disgraceful and sad
an end

upon the discourse with triumphant ex-
ultation, that American cOttonS are now
exported to Asia and sold at profit in

1924 and 1928 are not in force in Bengal
and China. And appeal to all mankind
for the truth of the inference. that, if our
cottons can go to these countries, and be
sold at profit without any protection at
all, they can stay at home, and be sold
to our own citizens, without loss, under
less protection than so and $50 per

feet of such duties is to cut off importa-
tions, to create monopoly at home, to en-
able our manufacturers TO sell
their goods higher to their own
Christian fellow-citizens than to

the Gauges and the Bureampooter to

shipments of American cottons were
making to the eXtremetieS of Asia, the
price of these same cOttons was actually
raised 20 and - per cent in all the towns
of the west; with this further difference
to our prejudice, that we can only pay

ducts OF their own country"

HON. GEORGE L. DOUGLASS.

The Fort Scott Monitor pays Hon.
George L. Douglass, the popular and
able ex-representative in the state legis-
lature from the Eighty-second district,
the following merited compliment:
"The Republicans of Wichita have re-
nominated Hon. George L. Douglass, of
Sedgwick county, TO represent that city
in the legislature. In this they have
done well. Mr.. Douglass was one of the
strongest members of the last house,
honest, earnest and clear headed. He
made no mistakes, and was always on
hand when Wichita was interested. As
chairman Of the Judiciary committee he
did the entire state good service. His
denomination was not only wise thing
for Wichita, but a good thing for the
whole state"

The St Louis Republic says 'reciproc-
ity and protection mean the same
thing and look so much alike that it is
hard TO tell them apart" The Republic
is correct for once; the two terms are
Synonymous, at least as far as the inter
estS of the west are concerned, and that
is why the west so promptly and heartily
endorsed the reciprocity" proposition.
As the west understands it, it embraces
the very essence of the principles of pro-
lection. and with that understanding she
will continue to not only endorse it. but
urge its adoption as the policy of the
government. There is ample time for
congress to enact the necessary legisla-
ton to carry that policy into effect, or at
least to inaugurate it, and the west ex-
poets it to be done before the session
ends.

The Wichita EAGLE publishes a list of

crease of population during the past ten

only those are published which would en-
able that city to stand at the head of the
list. VIII friend Murdoch inform us why
Arkansas City was left entirely out of the
account? We shall not be ashamed to

Ask Superintendent Porter of the CEN
sus bureau: he made up or caused to be
made up the statement referred to and
all the EAGLE had to do with it was to

we will publish them, and would rejoice
if they should show 1000 per cent Of in

1t is worthy of more than passing no
tice that farm mortgages are not in fav-
or at present, Boston especially, of the
large cities, showing a decided aversion
TO such investments. Seemingly the
mortgage investment companies realize
their loss of popularity, since unusual
efforts are being made to restore public
confidence in this matter. And il is
worthy of note to observe that the Kan
sas farmers have contributed liberal
share towards bringing. about this unsat-
isfactory condition to the mortgage hold
ers by paying off a large per cent of
such outstanding obligations.

In his great tariff speech in the senate
on July 81 Senator Plumb condensed
the truth and essence of the question
into this brief statement that is simply
unanswerable: "What is wanted is to
treat this tariff question as a business
question, is to apply to these schedules
precisely the rule we apply in all other
legislation. Whoever demands taxes to
be levied for his benefit, let him show
conclusively that what he wants for his
interest is equally for the public inter-
est"

THE CHINESE SILVER ISSUE.

The Handi correspondent of the Cour-
rier d Haiphong, referring to the export
of dollars from Hong Kong, says: If
what / have heard from Shanghai be
true, much larger expectation must be
expected. The viceroy of Chill, dissat-
isfied that China should be the only
country that has not a silver coinage of
its own, and has to use the dollars of
other countries, has obtained from
Picking authority to strike a Chinese
silver coinage. In few months two
hundred millions will be coined. If
China went into the market in America
to buy the silver for this coinage there
would Immediately be a rise of from to
5 per cent III the price in consequence of
such large order, which is a matter for
consideration to the Chinese government.
The viceroy, therefore, will content him
self by buying little by little the silver
available in the far east. For more than
a year the stock has been accommodating,
and the same process will be continued
until the amount on hand reaches hun
dred millions. Then the minting will be
commenced and will be continued in
proportion to the requirements and the
purchases of silver.
