ALWAYS AGAINST KANSAS.

The Kansas railway commissioners
have gone to Washington to appear be-
fore the United States railway commits
sion to protest against rulings lately made
that will hurt Kansas. Among other
things, the commission has announced its
opinion in its recent report to the United
States senate that the rates on corn to
Chicago and ST. Louis from the Missouri
river should be reduced 3 cents and from
Kansas points only 2 cents to same des-
tination. Our people are interested in
having the present difference maintained
and if the rate from the Missouri river
points is reduced to 3 cents ii should be
reduced the same from all Kansas points
to Chicago and Missouri river points.
Messrs Oliver and Pierce, of the Wich-
ita board of trade, went to Washington
for the same point, and to protest against
''the present differential on -four of 5
cents compared to wheat rates to Texas
points.

In eastern Europe there are signs of a
war cloud that, although now no bigger
than a mans hand, is portentious of
grave disaster. Christians and Mussul-
mans are in contention in Armenia, Tur-
key is compelled to face Russia's demand
for the war indemnity of 1877, while the
sudden independence of Bulgaria in the
Panitza affair has incensed the Musco-
vite. 1t seems scarcely probable that
these conditions of friction can long con-
tinue without developing into serious
conflict. These, coupled with the extern
sion of the Russian boundaries southeast
towards the Chinese empire, and the
threatened complication over the Behring
sea waters, between this country and
England, unquestionably and almost GER
tainly threaten the worlds present peace
full repose at no distant day.

NONE EQUAL TO KANSAS.

A gentleman, resident of Kansas, who
has recently been on the Pacific coast
characterizeS as fools those who have
abandoned farms and homes in this state
to go to some new state our country.
Contentment is one of the greatest bless
ingS any man can possess. If he has
that, has good health, and has an income
sufficient to meet the cost of all his rea-
sonable requirements, he is as near true
happiness as a person ever gets in this
life. Many man has failed to appreciate
the blessings of life-and they are many
until he viewed them from some min
ing town in California or Colorado.
When too late, he has learned the truth.
We do not have cyclones. nor tornadoes,
we seldom have billiards, we are free
from yellow fever and epidemics, and
we do have a judicial supply of heat and
cold, rain and shine The rise and fall
of the thermometer in these parts is sell
dom sudden and never extreme, and if
persons dress properly, take good care of
themselves, and are prudent they will
live longer and prosper better in Kansas
than in any other part Of the country or
Of the world.

THE SHARE OF THE NEGRO.

The value of the property owned by
negroes in the United States is said to
amount TO 1892, 100000, very nearly half
Of which is held by residents of the
southern states, although much property
is also held by them in the middle states
and the states along the Ohio river.
Louisiana is the state in which the
greatest amount of property is held by
negroes, the amount being $16, 100, 52S;
next comes Texas with $500, 545; the
states of New York and Pennsylvania
follow next with ST. 400, $50 and S15,-
800, 64S; fifth comes Mississippi with $13,-
400, 2l3; sixth South Carolina with S12,-
500, $50; North Carolina seventh with
$11, 010,652; Georgia eighth with S10,-
415. $50; Tennessee ninth with so, 400, 211;
and Alabama tenth with $9,209, 125.
These figures undoubtedly Indicate that
the negroes are gathering together a fair
share Of the products of industrious toll,
and these facts and figures will undoubt-
edly be used as the most powerful of ar
guments against any interference with
the south, simply on the idea of leaving
well alone. But they also argue. and
with greater force, in favor of the
owners of this vast property having an
equal show and voice with others in the
control and management of the affairs of
the communities in which they live, and
that without let or hinderanCe.

NOT SUSTAINED BY FACTS.

By a system Of logical circumlocution
the Kansas City Gazette is enabled 10
saddle the responsibility for the original

filed by Republicans appointed by Blaine
as president would not have concurred
in the view taken by the three Republi-
cans who agreed with the Democrats?
1t is easy enough to make allegations
but it is not always SO easy to sustain
them by proof of facts. 1t is not that
we would excuse or in any way condone
the objectionable political sin of treach-
cry committed by the saint referred to
that must stand against him to the end
as far as we are concerned; but we do
object to his being given credit for being
so potential factor in national politics.
We don't believe the facts of the case as
a whole as stated by the Gazette will
bear out its conclusions, by long shot.
The truth is, such aspersions as have been
cast by some people upon the supreme
court on account of the decision in ques-
ton are more discreditable to those
making them than they. are to the
occused.

The alleged declaration of several SEN
ators and members of congress that the
passage of the Wilson bill or the house sub
stltute either will at once made operative
state laws now in existence that bear
upon that subject, would afford deal of
relief to the prohibs, since it would, if
correct, settle the question of an extra
session of the legislature to re-enact our
state laws so as to conform them to the
said active say the views expressed by
the honorable gentleman referred to
would be comforting to the other set of
honorable gentlemen referred, if there
were any assurance or hope that either
of the measures named would be enacted
into the law in the near future. But
there is little hope that that will be done,
hence the perturbation of the latter.

The compromise silver bill will prob
ably be accepted by enough of the friends
of the white metal to put it through both
houses. but that does not alter the esti-
mate placed upon it and upon those
whose opposition forced it upon the coun-

cept the compromise as such, though
under solemn protest. Senator Teller
sized up the situation about right when
he denounced the system in vogue in the

their convictions might be touching any

An exchange observes that Georgia
has plenty of room for immigrants; that
there are in Pierce county 400, 9S7 acres
of land, of which only 12,118 are i'm
proved: Wayne, $4,000 and 1897 i'm
proved; Ware contains 147, 1903 acres, of
which 10,0S7 are improved; Appling
357, 075, and 10, 352 improved, and other
counties make similar showing. The
areas and condition of improvements are
no doubt correctly stated, but it neglect
ed to state that the unimproved areas are
largely if not entirely worthless for agri-
cultural purposes, being one broad ex-
panse of white sand without soil suffi-
Gent to produce any vegetation except
the tall, straight, long-leafed pine.
There are some other counties and Sec
tions of the state that afford some in
dUcements to immigrants, particularly
in the mountain region in the northern
part Of the state that are said to be rich
in ores and minerals. The agricultural
portions of the state, once the richest In
the south, was practically exhausted be-
fore the war in raising cotton and have
never been recuperated since.

The prohibinonists Of Maine last week
held a state convention which is note
worthy for its frank confes ION of the
fact that prohibition does not prohibit in
Maine. The platform contains the fol-
lowing statement: That the Repuhli-
can and Democratic parties each contain
a liquor element sufficiently large to pre-
vent any thorough or determined enforce
ment of the prohibitory law; their decla-
rauons are therefore meaningless, and
adoptions well understood by the LIQUOR
interests, and by the officials upon whom
the enforcement depends. and at whose
hands the law Is practically nUllfied in
the cities and large towns u Maine.

Philadelphia DEGREES that there shall
be no smoking in the parks and public
squares of that city, and the officers of
the peace are enforcing the law. That
is going long step backward toward the
days of Puritanism. when man who
smoked on the street was arrested and
fined. However agreeable that might be
be 10 the non-smokers, and however eft
fective in abaung a custom that Is in
some measure public evil, we fear that
the trend of things is in the opposite di-
pection. There may be too much smok-
ing to the annoyance of Others in public
places, but the Philadelphia scheme to
keep cigars and pipes out Of the parks
will scarcely neet with the favor Of those
most interested.

The assistant postmaster general and
Kansas junior United States senator do
not appear to be in perfect accord on the
question of politics in the south as af-
fecting the negro. The assistant post
master general thinks the Republican
party should continue to interfere in be-
half of the colored people of the south,
while our senator is of the opinion that
twenty-five years nursing and coddIing
is about long enough, and if anybody
down there is dissatisfied with their sur
roundings and chances for political
preferment and social status and pros

A SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT.

The profits of a single bank in New
ing to the Financier, for the month from
May 81 to June 30 last amounted to
$4,000. With free coinage of silver or
something approximate, and the feature
giving the secretary of the treasury dis
cretionary powers as to preference be-
tween and the extent of coinage of the
metals eliminated, the value of money
would speedily and more nearly adjust
itself to the current values of property Of
all kinds. This would probably not de-
crease the sum of the profits of the mon
led institutions of the east because cheap
er money would largely increase the vol
ume of their transactions; so, while
they would be nothing losers, other lines
Of business and people generally would
be large gamers. In view Of such a state
of case, and it is certainly a reasonable
conclusion, the persistent. determined
opposition of the monied interests of the
east to more liberal financial policy
would seem 10 he the outCropping of a
disposition better characterized by the
term of mate cusscdneSs. than from
shrewd business foresight or even sim
pie selfish interest.
The contest so far seems to have been
an unequal one, as to results; for. al
though the majority of numbers has
been largely with the interests of the
great body of the people, the majority
of influence has rested and still abides
with the other or the money side of the
question. But change Is coming, and
when it sets in it will be a sweeping one.

This is precisely what the opponents of
prohibition have always contended to be
the truth, and, now that its advocates
concede the fact, there is no further
room for argument on the question.
