southern members say that 81 far the
feeling in the South which has led to
the refusal Of state Legislatures to
make appropriations for exhibits at

siderations.
"In my State said Representative
McNillin. tTenn.) I'VE have Just got
our finances into such shape that we
can meet the interest on our bonds and
pay current expenses as they fall due.
Now if the Legislature should make an
appropriation of 800. 900 or s200. 900 for
an exhibit at Chicago it would be n con-
siderable strain ON the State treas
ury aud naturally the people would
only consent to it on condition
that the State would derive benefit from
the expenditure. Our people feel that
if the Force bill passes. state of af-
fairs must result that would render
vain any attempt they might make to
attract capital or immigration from the
North or from Europe. So instead of
throwing their money away in an ex-
hibit at Chicago they will keep it in the

BELoIT. Kas., Jan. 27.-The people of
Western Kansas hsye never before in
the history of the State known such
fearful financial difficulties as at pres
ent. The scarcity of money or any thing
convertible into it is almost pitiful and
the business houses have all they can
do to keep alive. Following the
failure of the American National
Bahk of Kansas City. four
banks of this county alone scs-
pended, one each at Cawker City,
Dows. Glen Elder and here. There
was no run maze on any of them. but
the little deposit they carried with
their correspondent was their r,iina-
ton.
All over the western third of the
State the cry of destitution grows loud
er and the Legislature has been made
suffering can be had when it is known
that twenty counties have already ap-
piled to the Railroad Commissioners
for assistance. In fact all the State
west of the Tooth meridian, excepting a
small district in the Arkansas Valley
where irrigation prevails. needs it.
The first appeal came from Rawlins
County, where. following the abundant
crops of 1889. came total failun. last
year. Next came Thomas County and
then others, until the line of destitution
reached over all the land west Of the
one hundrcdth meridian. and ext1 nded
from north to south. Every Grand Army
post over the State is being called on.
the Farmers Alliances are taking in
supplies. the Legislature is appropriate
ing money. and yet but Il small portion
Of the suffering can be relieved. The sod
houses are almost all barren, and those
families where the father is not well,
or where there is no father tn care for
the children. there is little hope for more
than Il bare subsistence.
Many hundred families are now liy ing
on corn meal and warming themselves
by means of buffalo chips. or dried ma

have no money and their mortgages
are long past due The mortgage com

ccive pitiful bid and are forced to take

ties there are whole townships owned
