The municipal authorities of Boston
are making an effort to raise the tax
limit, claiming that the city is too poor to
pay her honest debts; that to meet the
demand OF her youth $3.50, 900 are needed
to put up school houses, and that there is
not money enough in the treasury to pay
the officers. The bean crop i'll the Bay
state has evidently been cut short.

ENGLAND'S MENTOR.

| 1t must be a source of considerable
qualification to Explorer Stanley to re-
ceive the homage of those who a few
short years ago were ready to malign
him and discredit his work.
England is at his feet and he carries a
high head on his shoulders now. An i'm
| periousness that his success would seem
| to justify characterizes him, and whether
1t Is in keeping a dinner party waiting or
in vigorously condemning England's
vacillating African policy, he is equally
! self-assertive. He is master of the situa-
| ton so far as criticism is concerned, and
the tone of some of his recent utterances
| makes him the Thersites of Great Britain.
His laborS and his knowledge of Afri-
can affairs gives him the right to speak
with authority, and it is not surprising
that the present situation tries his pa
tience sOrely. He sees the fruits of his
toll slipping away from him and his
English friends. He knows that he can
expect no consideration from Germany,
and that the influence of his One-time
patron, King Leopold, Of Belgium, is on
the wane. His sole dependence in the
future must be upon England, whittier
the memorable logic of events has driven
I him.
But Germany is assuming an unusually
aggressive attitude in regard to African
affairs, and is reaching out for new terri
tory with eager and capacious hands.
Apparently the English government is
lukewarm, and hence the bitter words of
Stanley.
1t is not likely that this condition of
things will continue. England has never
been long inert when the acquisition of
new territory was concerned. 1t may be
accepted as one of the certainties of the
future that she will come in for her full
share of African spoils.
And Stanley is not to be left out of con-
sideration in this partition. He will play
his part in the conquest of the Central
African Empire. The glories of Lord
Stanley of Africa may yet eclipse those
of Lord Give of India

east may as well understand now that in
all the triumphs of art and science she
has worthy competitor in the magnn-
icent west, whether she has sent so
much of her best intellect, her
strongest muscle and her millions of
wealth. In Southern Central Kansas
there has sprung up a wonderful city, III
which there are all the evidences of cul-
ture and refinement of the oldest cities
of the continent, and one that is destined
to become the great metropolis of the
beautiful Arkansas valley and draw to
its great marts the commerce Of the new
territories from the Arkansas to the Red
river on the south. Already its whole
sale trade is being extended into Okla
homa and all over Western Kansas and
it is without a rival for beauty of situa-
ton, for the number and solidity of its
business blocks and the magnificence Of
its private grounds and dwellings.
Twenty-Five years ago the writer was
upon the same spot. Then there was
but one solitary cabin ION all the vast
plain" and but one entry Of public
land had been made. Then the wolf the
buffalo, the antelope and deer roamed
the plain unmolested except by the
savage Indian and the white scout
who occasionally crossed the coun-
try from the north enroute to
Texas. Two years afterward the city
was staked off and the development has
been such as to astound the occasional
visitor and fill the citizens with pride.
Churches, school houses, colleges, cleo
trio railways, palatial private residences,
in short all the modern cOnveniences OF
our highest civilization are visible where
but few years ago savage life alone
was found. 1t is wonderful, and yet
characteristic - characteristic of the
matchiess and indomitable purpose OF
the American people and their ability to
''make the desert blossom as the rose.
Aside from the social features of the
visit at Wichita, which were Of the most
delightful character, the visit to West
side, Riverside, fascinating Fairmounl,
and numerous public places of interest
well repaid us for the time spent. Ger
tainly the people of wondrous Wichita
are proud of past achievements and just
ly hopeful of future greatness. OF the
population, the workings of prohibition
and other matters of general interest we
may have something to say in a future

A TRIP ACROSS THE STATE.

From the Dodge City Times,
The representative of the Times has
Just returned from a trip across the state.
The prospects for crops in sections
through which we passed, were excel
lent, except the wheat in the IowIands
along the Walnut river, which showed
the effect of the late hard frosts in that
vicinity; the peculiarp part of it being that
while wheat seemed to be badly injured,
grapevines, roses and other tender vege-
tatiOn, showed no bad effects from the
frost. So far as we could observe from
the car window as we passed along, corn
and oats looked well, but seem to be con-
slderably later than in ordinary seasons.
The kaw valley from Topeka to Kansas
City has on its spring dress, and to our
eve was as beautiful as a dream.
The country between Newton and Wich-
tia is very fine and in high state of cul-
tivatiOn. There is a considerable amount
of old corn still in the hands of farmers
ofthat section. -
Wichita IS looking her best. Many
fine residences in this beautiful ciev are
completely EMPOWERED in forest trees,
and we think the appellation of Forest
City as appropriate as Peerless Prin-
cess" They have two large packing
houses and ample stock yards-and
genial, whole-souled men at the helm. If
they treat all strangers with the same
cordial politeness that the scribe received
we do not blame them for repeating the
visit as often as occasion win allow.

DR.. Buck, Of the silk station at Pea
body, says that cocoons produced in
Kansas are superior in strength and
fiber to those produced elsewhere in this
country, and that they command 80
cents more on the pound. The Western
SILK association Of this city expect to
produce at least 5000 pounds of this
superior silk from the first crop; perhaps
twice as much from the second, and as
much more of the sacred variety that is
worth 30 cents 4 cocoon. or S25 a pound.
And yet there are some persons, even in
Kansas, who pretend to regard the silk
industry as sort of child's play, with
out anything to commend it to the at
tentiOn of anybody with view to engag-
ing in it as a money making endeavor.
1t Is altogether probable that the
culture and manufacture of silk viii in
fezy years bring more money to Kansas
than her live stock or cereal crops.

Walter L. Frost, a director of the St.
Louis & San Francisco road, is quoted as
saying that the purchase Of the road bv
the Atchison Is the best thing that has
happened in the southwest for years. 1t
ought to be an easy matter for the con
solidated property to earn 4 dividend on
Atchison for 1890. and at least a 1 per
cent one in 1891, with reasonable crops.
1t is almost impossible. he adds. to figure
what the Atchison system can do. Gross
earnings of So. coo per mile on an average
are not at all impossible for 1891.

Globe-Democrat: sThe directors of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road, in their address to the stockholders
concerning the purchase of the Frisco
lime, dwell particularly upon the fact
sthat a connection with st. Louis is thus
fsecured. 1t is well known that such an
outlet has always been desired by the
managers Of the Atchison system; and
sthis latest deal is clearly calculated to be
of great advantage to st. Louis in several
respects, particularly as to the trade with
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and the

The drop in the aggregate of the debts
of the states from $3.50, 600, 600 in 1880 to
S22S, 600, 600 in 1880, falling off of $54,-
$1,000, which the census inquiry has
just revealed, is a decidedly encouraging
and creditable exhibit. The county debts
of the country, however, have grown to
the extent of S24, COG, 900 in the decade,
which offsets to a slight extent at least,
Che gains in the other particular. But
when the national finances are taken into
the calculation the showing becomes
more pleasing, for the reduction in the
government obligations in the past ten
years has been not far from S1,000,000,-
600.
