The retronchments herein proposed amount
to S41, 249. 35. This amount deducted from the
deficit So, 822.99, which would present itself
after the Community had been relieved of the
weighty guarantee for the Factory, Interest on
the debt to the State Treasury and the Pensions
according to Pension Law of 4th December 1868,
would be about 81, 575, which, in the Commit
tees opinion would in a run Of years be covered
by the Revenue, inasmuch as the income Of the
Island, for reason Of severe drought and other
causes, has been entered at a low estimate on
the present Budget, which this year presents a
much smaller amount of Stimated Revenue
than the Budget of the past ten or twelve
years. 1t is therefore natural that under
similar conditions we would expect on the
average to see a balanced Budget, notwith-
standing the Deficit which now shows itself.

Ought to be Righted.

Wellington Press.
The salt manufacturers of Kansas have
united in an appeal to the interstate COM
merce commission, test cases having been
filed against five of the leading railroads
of the state. The Hutchinson News says
the Michigan salt is hauled Gil miles for
ten cents per hundred, while the same
money will not haul Kansas salt seventy
miles. Thirteen cents will bring the
New York salt to st. Louis, distance of
SOC miles, while Kansas salt is not per-
mitted to enter the st. Louis market Mt
all, and can only 20 one-third of the way
across the state of Missouri upon rates
ranging from sixteen to twenty cents.
The entire state of Nebraska and most
of Iowa belong to Kanaas by right of dis
lance, and yet the railroad rates are so
greatly in favor of the long Chicago pull.
that Kansas has no show whatever in
those two states. Texas should be ours
by right of distance, and yet the Santa
Fe-the great road of kansas-hauls salt
from the Michigan field through Chicago
to Newton, Kansas, for eight cents. and
hauls both products to Texas from that
point for 35.5 cents. These are only a
few of the disparagements existing be-
tween the Michigan and Kansas salt
rates.

Concerning Pensions.

Hon. Bernard Kelley, United States
pension agent, has issued circular to
pensioners instructing them in the new
payment of pension laws. The pension
agencies have been arranged in three
groups, the second of which consists of
Indianapolis, Topeka, Louisville, Phila-
delphia and New York. and the pay
ments made by these agencies will here
after be on the fourth days of February,
May, August and November. The reg
ular quarterly payment will be made on
June LIST this year, and at that time
vouchers will be sent to the pensioners
for two months pension, to August 4th.
Mr.. Kelley urges upon the pensioners to
forward their vouchers promptly on that
date, so that business of the Office may
be facilitated and that the new rule may
be put into force without unnecessary
delay.

councils, then indeed may we believe
that war among civilized nations will be
considered a relic of barbarism.
The increasing tendency TO respect
the opinions of others, no matter how
trivial or important the subject. to search
for truth because truth is right. no mat
ter if we trample upon opinions so fixed
and sacred as to cause us pain to give
them up, is evident to every reader and
thinker of the world. Future ages alone
can tell the result of the present ten
dency of the world to search for truth.
The time will not come when there is no
strife between nations, as between indi-
viduals, for contention and rivalry are
the prime factors that put to use the
power of inertia and prevent the stagna-
ton of humanity.

THE Statement of President McGrath
of the Kansas Alliance is in line with the
declaration of the Iowa Homestead, that
the Southern alliance must abandon the
Democracy if it expects the northern al
lance to abandon the Republicans. The
paper maintains that the southern alli-
ance is essentially monopolistic in its
methods; that it is dominated by few
men; that in the McCune trial it tacitly
endorses the ''sell out" of the Georgia
alliance and its organ to Jay Gould's at
torney, Pat Calhoun. and that its chief
aim is to form great cotton trust. This
open declaration of war means that the
republican farmers of Iowa are opening
their eyes to the fact that the southern
alliance is but tender to the democrats,
and in view of this condition they have
no intention of abandoning the Republic
can party. as such move would be one
sided.-kansas City Gazette.
The Globe-republican., 1891-06-10
REPUBLICANISM Or COMMON
SENSE.

At no time since the organization Of
the republican party was there greater
need of its continuation In power in the
State Of Kansas than at the present.
Good common sense and sound republic
canism is in demand at this time, when
there is such an apparent period of unrest;
and the minds and good judgment of so
many are being diseased and misled by
absurd, false and puerile. as well as So
cialistic ideas and principles. The pres
ent financial depression which is the
outgrowth of crop failure and the blub-
bering of the calamity howlers has pro-
ducea a set of impractical reformers who
propose to solve in a moment the social
and financial problems of the country,
which have heretofore been considered
worthy of lifetime of study. The main
idea of these impromptu refOrmers Is to
make cheap money with which to pay
their debts. 1t is plainly the duty of the
republican party to meet this fiat money
foolisbness and Bellamyism that is
abroad in the state with courage and
common sense. Let it be known that
the farmers of Kansas are honest and
have no intention to pay off their mort
cages with cheap money or by legislation.
They expect to earn the money by hon.
orable means and pay every honorable
obligation. Kansas feels her ability to
not only pay her debts, but to accumu-
late many millions of money that is
equal to gold in the markets of the world
and show thousands of happy homes
owned by the farmers of Kansas who
came to the state few years since with
out dollar in either money or property.
The doctrine of the republican party is
one upon which homes can be builded,
schools and churches established and
honest labor awarded with honest money.
1t is not more likely to compromise
with the foolish ideas and plans of Office
seeking refOrmers, than it has been with
the stubbOrnness of the democrats. Com
mon sense and justice are republican
ideas and both are too prevalent among
the masses of republican voters to allow
the poison of demagogues to turn them
from the well known policy of the party.
The Globe-republican., 1891-06-10

There are probably no other classes of
people in Kansas so worried at the present
time as the dry weather kickers and the
tin plate liars. Both of them are in dan
ger of losing their job and are in bad
humOr. No amount of rain has yet stop
ped the wall of this specimen of Kansas
patriotism. He has waded across the
broad and beautiful Kansas brairies with
every buffalo wallow a miniature lake,
every draw a running stream. and every
creek swollen river, has drowned his
team while crossing some little stream
to tell some westward bound emigrant
that it never rains in Kansas. The IA
vorite companion of the dry weather
crank is the tin plate liar. and they are
now in great trouble as to what their flu
ture occupation shall be. Tin Plate says
the rains will surely drown you, and the
blasted American factories are doing so
much work that l can't keep people from
hearing the rattle of the tin. There is
but one thing for us to do, and that is to
leave the country. But before they could
get across the Mulberry hard shower
came up and drowned them. 1t was
found they had but few dollars, which
were of English money that was in the
pocket of the Tin Plate man. So they
were placed in nice tin plate coffin that
was bought at the st. Louis Tin Plate
Factory, and buried just as though they
were respectable men.

WHEN WAR SHALL CEASE.

The settlement, or at least partial set
Element, of number of International
difficulties without resort to arms, with
in the past decade naturally gives rise to
the thought that the dawn of the Goth
century will see an end of wars betw cen
civilized nations. The pending settle
ment in court of the Behring sea dispute,
and the peaceful surrender of the Itata
to be tried for the violation of neutrality
laws, can but cause one to think the time
is at hand when national battles will be
fought in legislative halls and open court.
The Gladstones. Blaines, Conklins and
Edmunds of the future will lead their
hosts to battle; when instead of shot and
shell the ballot and international law
reports will be the missiles used. In an
age of war, the Seal fishery, New Orleans
affair and the actions of the Itata would
have involved the United States in war
with three nations almost, if not at,
the same time.
The revolutions of the future may be
as great as in the past, but they will be
peaceful. When the power of the ballot
is found sufficient to change the form

KANSAS.

THE eyes of eastern people are still
turned Kansasward, and they are won
dering whether it was their ears or the
vaporings of calamity bowler that had
deceived them. They cannot understand
why man whom the state has taken
from IN humble position, so poor that he
could not wear socks, and placed him
among men of prominence in national
affairs, given him monthly salary as
great as had been his yearly pay, should
do his utmost 10 injure the state that has
done more for him than he has done fol
himself. Neither can they believe the
reports of the bountiful harvest of grains
and fruits that are now assured to Kansas
to be an advertising scheme of agents.
They know that Kansas people are pay

trOdden humanity would. They see Kan
sas cattle, horses and hogs on their mar
kets, well clothed Kansas people on their
streets, at first class hotels, attending
good entertainments, and they do not
believe these people left ragged and
starving brother, sister, or parent behind
when they came east. So they come to
the conclusion that the ranters they have
heard are reformers for personal gain
only, though personal reform is not one
of the studies in their curriculum. 1t is
evident that the place for the ranter is
not in the east when poverty sticken

No state in the Union is blessed with
a more honest, intelligent, energetic set
of farmers than is this wonderful state of
Kansas. Neither is there a state in the

than is this grain covered Kansas. No
state can boast of so many happy homes,
the owners of which but a few years
since had nothing. Not even a piece of
wild land that they might mortgage for
more than it was worth and thus be en-
