THE PROSPECT FRIGHTENING.

The present winter, now nearly passed,
if not unprecedented for D1ildness, taken
altogether and throughout the country,
has not been surpassed within the men,
ory of any now living. True, they have
had some pretty severy snaps up in the
northwest, but even that section has not
been blizzard ridden as is usual during
the winter season. In the southwest it
has been phenomenal. With the contin-
uance Of the present temperature for two
or three weeks and all nature will be
clothed with verdure, and from the fol-
lowing descriptive from New York
paper it seems the season has been as
wild in the east as in this section:
Buds on the trees, lilacs in bloom, green
grass and abnormal vegetation. are among
the strange sights visible along the banks
of the Hudson and IN Connecticut. If we
have a frost, it disappears as If ashamed
of Itself, and as for snow in and around
New York, not enough has fallen TO fill u
beaver hat. Woolen goods lie dead upon
the shelves in the stores and the retailers
are in mourning over their loss IN this de-
partment of trade"
The effects Of the mild winter have
been felt to their injury by almost all
branches Of trade, as the necessities of
consumers have not been 80 great in any
line, but while it has worked a hardship
to tradespeople it has been Godsend to
the poor With the amount of destitu-
ton throughout, if to the hard time
there had been added extreme and long
continued cold weather the amount
and degree of suffering would have been
beyond conception.
With the approach of an early spring,
which is now promised, everybody is
taking fresh courage-even the discour-
aged tradesmen-and all are hoping for
the return of better times. There are
many evidences of the near approach of
the promised good time coming"

IMMIGRATION.

The secretary of the State Immigra-
ton Bureau was advised yesterday of
the work of the committee of railroad
managers in Chicago. We are advised
TO get ready to look after the part of the
work we have agreed to take upon our
selves-that is to advertise aud bring the
people here. The rate is assured and
now it is our business to make use of It.
The secretary says enough counties haye
sent their matter in already to make a
nice book All the counties should be
prompt in this matter and get themselves
to the front. We need only activity
now to realize. The people are ready to
come. The railroads are ready to bring
them at one-half fare. We must get
ready to go after them.
Speaking to this point of the all i'm
portant subject the Cherryvale Republi-
can very aptly says: ''The Kansas I'M
migration Bureau has paved the way for
an unprecedented influx of new home
seekers into Kansas by thus securing the
powerful aid Of the railway lines which
traverse our vast DOMAIN IN all dlrec-
tions. Our business now is to carry the
news to Hiram;' to see that the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth relative to our magnificent climate.
soil and resources are sent abroad, that
the farmers of less favored sections NAV
learn the truth concerning the greatest
agricultural state in the union. To this
end steps will at once be taken by the
executive board Of the bureau. and the
hearty cooperation of every one of the
106 counties of the state is expected. Let
there be no laggard. The golden oppor-
tunity is at hand-the harvest is ripe and
there should be no clogging of the wheels
of the grand movement so auspiciously
begun"
Wichita eagle., 1890-02-18

Looking at the proportionate increase in
people, farms and staple crops as shown
above is it any wonder that the boiler is
burned out and the engineer and whole
crew are in imminent danger Of sud-
den and violent death: And is it not
wonderful that we are looking for ab-
Stract and obscure causes for 4 condition
which is but the natural and inevitable
result of our own premeditated acts:
In the five years from 1874 to 1879
with an average population nearly 2o,-
600, coo less than now, we added 1900
coo acres to the lands employed in grow
ing the ten great agricultural staples. be-
ing more than g, ,500, ,0o0 acres per annum.
Now, however. with two-fifths more peo-
pie 10 supply we are adding actually less
than 3,0vo. 600 acres yearly TO the culti-
waited area when, but for the surplus OF
cultivated acres existing in 1884 and
since. we should need TO add about
5000. 600 of such cultiyed acres each year
TO meet the requirements of the annual
increase of population. The increase in
cultivated acres has during the past five
years been less proportionately than the
increase in popufatIon, hence am fully
justified IN saying that the disease
has passed its crisis and the
patient now undergoing most painful
convalescence. That this Is clear Is
shown by the fact that while there ex-
isteG in 1885 a surplus beyond home re-
quiremeutS of more than 20 oto. 600 acres
devoted 70 the production OF the cereals,
potatoes. hay. tobacco and cotton, such
surplus has since been reduced To less
than l3,osl, oo4 acres, and such reduc-

THE FATE OF TIME

The only two great commanders now
living who faced each other in making
the crimson annals of the late OWL war
are Gen. William T. Sherman and Gen.
Joseph E. Johnson. Grant met Lee,
Joseph and Albert Sidney johnson,
Beauregard, Buckner, Bragg and Penn
berton in battle as chief commanders,
and of them Joseph E. Johnson, Beaure-
gard and Buckner survive. Meade, who
met and successfully resisted the terrible
shock of battle at Gettysburg, was borne
to the city of the silent short time af-
ter the dust of Lee was committed to
mother earth, and Thomas and Hood,
who fought the last great battle Of the
war at Nashville, both sleep the dream
less sleep of the dead. Of the many
commanders of the army of the Poto-
mac none remain. Mcclellan, Mellow
eli, Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant
ali have gone TO join the great majority,
and Longstreet and Early are the only
two of Lees great ieutenants who linger
with the living.

If the representations of one p. E.
Rowland Of Boston. prove true, some
public men had better begin saying their
prayers. He processes to have learned
his art of reading important coming
events from leading English clairvov-
ants, and some of his prophesies con-
cerning the present year Will bear
watching. He says: Blaine will die; so
will Ben Butler and Samuel j. Randall
EX-President Hayes has a black mark
before his life, but Rowland can't tell
whether it means death or failure IN
the hen crop. Cleveland is reported to
be all right: so is Thurman and Reed and

Wichita eagle., 1890-02-18

Elsewhere in this issue of the EAGLE
will be seen 4 series of resolutions adopt
ed by Valley Grove Alliance, Sedgwick
county, protesting against the PROPOSE
tion that has been made and advocated
by some for the establishment of storage
warehouses by the government in every
county and a sub-treasury to make loans
of government funds upon receipts cover
ing deposits of farm products in such
warehouses. The protest. based upon
the reasons set out, is well timed and a
credit to the alliance. The proposition
referred TO, while it may have some
thing of precedent in some instance. is
vet in direct opposition to the spirit and
intent of our institutions. There has
been dangerous growth of sentiment in
the direction of paternalism. for the gov
ernment. IL ought TO be stopped. and
the action of Valley Grove Alliance in
condemning the harmful idiom is time
u and highly commendable.

From tho Newton Republican.
The decline in the market price OF corn
since the adoption Of the emergency rate
merely goes to show that two and two
are four instead OF five. Some people
thought, without stopping 10 think, that
to reduce the railroad rates Of transpor
tation would clear out an already giut9
ted market and make room for strong
demand for new shipments. But It turns
out that the consumption of corn bread
is not so easily affected.
Wichita eagle., 1890-02-18

In the present condition OF affairs in
Kansas and Nebraska, the Denver News
observes, the railroads might transport
the farmers corn for nothing and ulti-
mately make gains 10y doing it. Theoreti-
cally ii would De a good thing for both
the railroads and the farmers. but
practically it would not benefit either,
but would be just that much loss TO the
reads. The effect OF the small reduction
in the rate agreed upon has been to de-
press the price of corn in the Chicago
market TO the full extent of the reduc-
tion even before the new rate has been
put in operation. If the railroads could
rid the market of the gamblers the pro-
ducers might receive part OF the benefit
of reduced freight rates. but as long as
they are permitted to hover, like vultures
around dead carcass, around the specu-
lative board the producers will have to
stand the pressure.

The Philadelphia Telegraph is moved
by recent events to lament that congress
"has ceased to be a power in the land. !"
When congress gets down to work under
the new code of rules and proceeds to
pass necessary laws the Telegraph and
other Democratic papers will get an idea
that that body still retains some power
in the direction of the affairs of the
nation. They may not be delighted with
The manner in which the power will be
exercised. But they will be constrained
