cannot too much impress on those
persons TO whom these details have any
interest that the time is coming when
railway property in America, and espcc-
tally Southern lines, is assuming settled
and permanent standard of value. Those
days Of holding shares simply as voting
papers and gambling counters must come
to an end as the great mining resources
of the South are developed.
There is some little jealousy still in
the North against Southern enterprises.
The great steam Of emigration West IS
not yet Stacking off, though emlsrants
from the Northwest and white labor are
comingdown considerably to these South
ern countries, where the climate is go TAR
preferable to the Northwest. The smart
Bostonian aud the men from Philadelphia
are more long-sighted than the New
| Workers. There is a great deal OF soId
investment going on in the South from
these places, while in New York, unless
you went to special persons. you would
find it difficult to get any ,iniormatloil as
to what was going on in Virginia. Inc
licht-hearted New Yorker loves his Wall

in railways in the East and Northwest to

matters Eastern money goes out prlnci-
pally to the building of the towns in the
Northwest. Not single man in New
York would admit that either the South

Virginia could ever rival his Northern
possessions; yet the day is not far OH

raise from, and have selected at the
head of my stud horse which is and

purpose horse, and his get can not be
beaten i'm the State as all-purpose
horses. They are large, with fine
style. l have four of his get which 1
get in the county or State. will
drive two of his colts for speed the
coming season; they are fine in style
and move with great power.
Ny horse is not standard bred, nor
his colts, and / will not represent
them to be. 1 will not write a great
long chain of their breeding, when my
neighbors know them to be something
else; but 1 ask all lovers of good
horses to see my horse and his colts
before breeding elsewhere.

boldness and grandeur, while his

works double or single, and his trot-

THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

KANSAS farmers this year are selling
their corn at a per cent more than
last year. their wheat at 20 per cent
more, their oats at almost double last
years price, their potatoes at 80 per
cent more and their rye, buckwheat
and tobacco at a considerable increase.
What's the matter with the Kansas
farmer?-K. c. Gazette.
And better than all they are selling
their Seattle and hogs at nearly fifty
per cent more, and before the summer
is over will sell them at 100 per cent
more. Cattle sold for $500 hundred
at Kansas City. Monday, the highest
price since 1852, and hogs OH the same
day and in the same market reached
$3.50. Members of the stock exchange
seem to have every confidence that the
price will continue to advance, some
prophesying that cattle will go to 500
and hogs to six dollars before the sum-
mer is over.
Several weeks ago the REGISTER
made note of an Allen county dealer
who had contracted to pay $500 for
cattle to be delivered in May. The
item brought us good many incredu-
lous inquiries. but it was true, and the
man who made the bargain evidently
knew what he was doing. And now
we are informed that Mr.. burning of
Humboldt, has just contracted to ay
Mr.. J. r. Stewart, of Salem, SJ.75 for
100 head of cattle to be delivered in
May.
One reason for this remarkable adj
vance, and perhaps the main one, is
the short supply. The receipts of cat
tie at Kansas City this year are $1,000
short of the receipts during the same
period last year. But another reason,
and one that no doubt cuts consider
able figure, is the operation of Mr..
Funston's inspection bill by which the
markets of Germany, France and
Belgium have been opened TO Amesi
can cattle. Since that law went into
effect we have sold more than 500, 900
dollars worth of cattle in European
markets which before were absolutely
closed to us. And the business is eX-
panding rapidly every month. So that
our stock men may thank the Repub-
lican party and the Hon. f. H. Funs-
ton in particular, for fair share of the
increase in their profits.
But the reason for the advanced
price, and the party or individual to
whom credit is due, are small things,
and we may differ about them. But
the advance itself is big thing and
we can all agree in hailing it with joy.
Cattle and hogs are the mann factors
in our prosperity here in Kansas. No
matter..how big crops we may have or
how high a price our grain may bring,
we are poor if cattle and hogs are low.
So the advance in the price of these
animals means prosperity and riches.
1t means if the advance is maintained,
that Kansas has struck bottom and is
on the upgrade.

. Ingersoll on California.

In recent magazine article Mr..
Ernest Ingersoll, the noted writer
says: 1.-The climate of southern Cali
fornia in winter closely resembles that
of Egypt. Its equability is constant,
and Its dryness is proverbial. The
only complaint made is that it is too
nearly perfect. Residents bred in the
Eastern States confess now and then
that a rousing storm would give them
a greatful sensation. But this senti-
ment meets with no favor from the
man who has just fled from superfu-
ity of wetness and chilling gales. To
him perpetual summer seems perpetu-
al paradise, and to the invalid dread
ing the advance ofdisease the still and
arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life."

THE LEGISLATURE.
MIR, PEARSoN'S LAST LETTER

MIR. PEARSON'S LAST LETTER.
ED. REGISTER: Owing TO the rush
of business this letter has been much
delayed. But beg the indulgence of
yourself and readers for a little COM
ment on some Of the closing scenes of
the Legislature in order that the rec
ord may be made complete.
The last business to come before the
House was the bill appropriating
1000 for a display at the Worlds
Fair. Your readers are already fa-
miliar with the details of this bill, and
know that it failed because the House
and Senate could not agree as to how
the fifth man of the commissioners
should be appointed. And so the
appropriation was not made and Kan
sas, of all the States of the Union will
not have an exhibit where all the
world will make an exhibit of its arts
and agricultural resources-all because
a few men demanded an unreasonable
thing.
Mr.. Elder said that he was glad that
we were not going TO have an exhibit;
that the money had better be kept at
home, and he cast his vote that way
on motion to concur in the report of
the committee on conference.
Every Kansan who goes TO Chicago,
during the Fair, will be 10th to admit
that he is from Kansas when asked
why his State is not represented, and
all because a small minority asked an
unreasonable thing.
When asked what they would have
done had Willis or Robinson been
elected and the Republicans had made
such demand, the Alliance men just
smiled and made no reply. If mistake
not the Indignation in Kansas will
be long and loud, and it is my guess
that there will be d pretty general de-
mand for all extra session to make the
necessary appropriation. 1t seems to
me that those who want 10 sell out and
those who are unable TO pay of their
mortgages would be anxious to induce
as many to come here as possible.
The last resolution 10 come before
the House was oae Offered by Mr. Ken
