The Fort Scott Monitor is dIsgruntled
because the legislative amendment to the
constitution failed to carry at the last
election. 1t complains that the reason
more is not accomplished by the legisla-
ture is because the session is too short.
1t would undoubtedly have been better
for the Republican party if the last ses-
sion had been but half as long as it was
Fifty days is long enough to undo much
that was done in that length of time,
and if the majority of the lower house
live up to their instructions that will be
the first and most important work of the
session. And we might add that there
is not much danger Of their going too
far with it, either.

KANSAS FARMERS.
rom the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
The farmers of the eastern two-thirds
of Kansas are in better shape financially
today than they ever were. This is not
an exaggeration, but fact of easy veri-
hcation. They owe, as class, compar-
atively little or nothing to the banks
Their apple crop alone enabled them to
pay off all their floating Indebtedness
with a sufficient surplus for taxes and for
the payment of any mortgage indebted
ness, which, in this section, is small.
Their wheat crop, although not quite up
to the average, was still a good one, and
at the ruling prices Melted them more
than any one of the big wheat crops ever
raised in the state. The same thing is
true of their corn crop. Their hay crop
was splendid, their dairy products, their
live stock. cattle and hogs, their poultry
and eggs, all helped to swell the total re-
ceipts of 1890 way above the average of
their most prosperous years, SO that from
this side of their condition the farmers of
the eastern two-thirds of Kansas have
every reason to feel grateful and satisfied.
OF course, from now on, because of
the Mckinley law, they will be forced to
pay a higher price for whatever they
buy than they have been paying, still
they are in better shape ito endure such
an imposition than they ever were be-
fore. This tariff business aside, in no
stat in the American Union can there
be found a more prosperous class of
farmers than those of the eastern two
thirds of Kansas. The Champion does
not wish to be understood by this as say
ing that even these fortunate ones have
no burdens, that they are not seriously
affected by the Mckinley law and other
unjust legislative enactments, but what
it means is, that they are better off than
other equal numbers of their class in
this country. All this goes to show
what glorious possibilities confront
those who have sense enough to locate
in kansas.

A MONSTER SKATE.

It 10 Captured on Coney Island by an Old
Man.
New YoRx, July 15.-A monster skate is
on exhibition at one Of the West End re-
sorts, on Coney Island. II is four feet
seven inches wide and three feet one inch in
height. It weighs $50 pounds. It was CAP
tured in the Coney Island surf on Thursday
by Lawrence BONNER, a hinge manufactures
of Bromley. Mr.. BONNER. although moro
than 70 years old, is still as lively as some
athletes and when he saw the monster in
the surf in front Of his Brunswick cottage
at the West End he seized heavy
piece of wood and plunged in, clothes and
all, to capture it. His attention had first
been directed to it by his fine water spaniel,
Jack. Mr.. BONNER had to walk out to
his waist in the water. He pounded il with
tho wood vigorously and Jack tore it wick
edly. Several men went to Mr.. Bommer's
assistance, and when the life had been
pounded out Of the skate rope was fas-
tened to it and it was dragged ashore. Il
has been an object of much interest to the
West End visitors, and to prolong the ex-
hibition stream of ice water is being
poured over it.
