Tho Truth About Kansas.

The Republican League of Kansas has
done that State good turn by exposing the
falsity of the dismal croaklngs about the 3on.
dition Of the State which have come forth
from the Threats of such statesmen as PETER
and Simpson, of the Farmers Alliance. The
effect of these croakiDgs has been to greatly
prejudice the State In the minds of invest
ors, so that the flow of capital into it, which
is SO much needed to develop its possibilities,
has been seriously checked. The public has
been given to understand by the Farmers
Alliance spokesman that the Kansas farm
ers are community If bankruptS with
their lands moItgaged to their full value to
greedy eastern monopolists, and that they
are hesitating between abandoning their
farms and repudiating their obligations, with
q decided leaning toward the latter. So It
has come about that everybody who has in
vested money in Kansas is living In fear that
he will never see it again. aud everybody
who has not is congratulating himself and
swearing inwardly that he never will
The Republican league has therefore done
its State a real service by coming forward
and stating the truth about the condition of
things in Kansas. This statement is made
through committee Of men we'll known in
the east and enjoying the confidence of east
ern business men. The statement is as
follows;
The total assessed valuation of property In
the State is S348, COO. which represents an
actual valuation of $780,, 100000. The az
sessed valuation of the State Is five times as
great as that of Florida and Delaware. three
times as great as that of South Carolina
double that of Alabama, Arkansas, or Mis-
sissippi, $40,000000 more than Maine, $780,
100000 more than New Hampshire, $1S7, 0O0,-
600 more than Vermont, and only $4,000. 600

The Prohibition party of Massachusetts Is
very bitter in its arraignment of the national
administration and both houses of Congress
for what 1t calls their subserviency to the
liquor interests. 1t was fair enough to emu
merate acts done or omitted which pointed
to that conclusion, but 1t was not fair to omit
all reference to acts that pointed directly in
the other direction. AS matter of fact the two
houses of the last Congress passed and the
President signed. an act which had very
important bearing on the liquor traffic and
which was exceedingly inimical to the liquor
interests. 1t will be remembered that the
Supreme Court decided that under existing
laws no State could prevent the sale within
its borders Of liquors imported into 1t In
original packages. The effect of this decis-
ion was to practically annul every State pro-
hibitory law that existed and to prevent the
passage of any that would be effective. Had
Congress been so subservient to the liquor
power as these Prohibitionists allege 1t
would not have passed the act which enabled
the State to deal with all liquor, whether
imported from other States or foreign coun-
tries, or manufactured within its limits, as it
deemed fit. 1t is hardly possible that the
MASSACHUSETTS, Prohibitionists could have
forgotten this act, yet they omitted all refer
ence to it, while at the same time arrogatiDg
to themselves superior virtue and pronounc-
Ing all other parties secretly or openly in
league with the rum power.

The retirement of Judge Cooley, following
that of the Zion. W. L. Bragg, from the
Interstate commerce commission, leaves
two vacancies on the board to be filled by
President Harrison. There are few men so
thoroughly equipped to deal with railroad
problems as is Judge Cooley. and his place
will be very difficult to fill. There has been
more or less grumbling on the part Of per-
sons and papers who make business of
hating the railroads because the construction
of the Interstate commerce law by the
commission has not crippled the railroads tc
the extent that they desired. The senti
ment thatIinspired great number of the
supporters of the Cullom law, and more es.
pecially of the Reagan bill, which was a
more drastic measure, was not SO much de-
sire for regulation in the interest of the pub
lie, as for railroad punishment, and the
more severe this punishment the be tier it
would nave suited. For this feeling against
them the railroads were largely responsible,
their management In some sections being
exceedingly tyrannical and paying little at
tention to the rights of the public. But
though the feeling was In part justified,
legislation on the strength of it was
sure to do the public much harm-even
more harm than the railroads. 1t was
fortunate therefore for the public that the
drastic measure of Judge Reagan, which was
conceived in spirit of hostility to the rail
roads, was modified in the House, and that q
commission empowered to cOnstrue the law
and apply 1t was interposed between the
law and the public; and no less fortunate
that up to the present time the majority OF
the commission has been composed of con,
servative men not bent on crippling the rail
road but on regulating them iu spirit moi
inimical to them, but at the same time keep
ing in view the rights and interests of the pub
lic The possibilities Of the existing law, mod
flied though it was in the House from the dras
tic form in which 1t first made its appearance
for Gripping railroads and thereby obstruct.
ing the business of all the country are con-
siderable, and in the hands of commission
made up Of chronic railroad haters Xix,
Reagan, or PETER, the business of tn,
country would soon be turned topsy- tnrvy
As the law has been administered it has dom
considerable good, and little harm, but Il
would be very easy to administer 1t so these
condition would be reversed.

The Chicago people who were so sure tnat
the windy city would shell out millions ior
the Worlds Fair and that the government
would not be called upon for cent are now
casting about for some way to get $5,OO0,0OO
out of the National treasury to help the en-
terprse along. Chicago enthusiasm has
measurably cooled. since direct appeal was
made TO Chicago pockets. 1t is hardly in
good taste, however, for New York which
promised to raise o million for monument
to Gen. Grant and succeeded in getting. after
the most persistent begging, barely tenth
of that sum to cast any stones at her.

"Platt's Man." exclaims the Democratic
tion of the New York Republican State con-
vention. If Mr.. Andrew ID. White had been
nominated the exclamation would have been
the same-"Platt's Man." If the Demo-
cratic papers are to be believed the Hon.
Thomas G. Platt is virtually the Republican
party of New York. His fiat puts men in
nomination and creates platforms. and Re.
publican conventions are bodies called to
gether merely for the purpose of formally
registering his will. No doubt Mr.. Plat is
an influential man in the Republican party
of New York, but that he leads the party
wheresoever he will is one of the fctions of
the Democratic imagination. The Republi-
can party is not built that way.
