WILL BE A NOVEL ELECTION.
The Coming Selection ola New Agricuit'
urai Secretly In Kansas.

uTbA OCCNOtAy
TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. 6.-The election
OF the secretary OF the state board OF ag-
riculture to succeed Martin Mohler will
take place in January. 1t Is the most
novel election in Kansas and the sue
cessful candidate will get aposition that
will pay him $500 per year out OF Inc
state treasury. The election OF the
members OF the board will take place
the second Wednesday in the month.
The present members will have voice
in electing their successors. The gov
ernor and the secretary OF the stat; are
by virtue OF their Offices members OF the
board, making itnumber sixteen. Each
agricultural society In the state Is en-
titled to vote for each member or the
new board. The electors will consist OF
the present board and representatives OF
the several agricultural societies.
The president OF the board will he
elected by the electors but the secre-
tary will be elected by the new board.
Martin Mohler, the present secretary,
has held the Office FOR four years and he
will probabl be candidate for re'elec-
ton. There has been considerable OPP
position to him developed during the
past wear and he will not be reelected
without a struggle. Among those
prominently mentioned for the place
are: Col. A II. Forsyth OF Montgomery
county, D. ]. Coils, OF Reno county, Cen
eral j. C. Caldwell OF Shawnee county
and C. Wood Davis, OF Sedswick
county.
Colonel Forsyth is successful farmer
and was formerly a congressman from
Illinois and Of late years has been q
prominent figure in Kansas politics.
d. J. Cole Is one OF the most successful
farmers in the western part OF the state
and tills the soil on scientific principles.
General Caldwell is president OF the
state board OF pardon. Wood Davis has
national reputation as statistician in
the agricultural field.
There is o scheme on foot among the
board of managers OF the worlds fair to
make the new secretary OF the board OF
the board Of agriculture the secretary
OF the board OF managers as we'll and
place him in charge OF the Columbian
exhibition.
The state board Of agriculture is one
OF the most expensive lnSLlIutlons cou-
nectad with the state government Its
printing bills are enormous. For the
two years ending June, 1890, they
amounted to $50, a90S& To this the
salaries OF the secretary and his assist
ants are added to show the total expense
Of the department They aggregate
over s., 900 per annumi There has been
much dissatisfaction expressed at the
expense OF this department which is
really under control Of private corpo-
rations-the fair associations. An at
tempt was made last winter while the
Legislature was In session to create the
ONCE of secretary Of agriculture, to be
elected by the people, but II was not
successful, The agitation will und0ubt-
edly continue, however, until this Is
accomplished.

A Coming Question.

The boundary line between the United
States and the British Possessions in
North Ameeica once more threatens TO
become the subject OF interna tional dis
pute, conference and arbitration. A
half century ago ''Fifty-four Forty or
Fight" was q campaign cry, and the COM
ing controversy begins at that line,
from which President Polk retreated,
the once northern boundary OF Oregon
territory being the southern boundary
OF our territory to Alaska. The discus
sion OF the ownership OF Revillagigedo,
Pearse and Wales Islands, and OF the
line OF the Portland canal, will rival
the contest over San Juan island and
San ROeario or De Haro straits, decided
in favor of the United states by the en-
peror of Germany as arbitrator in 1872.
Each year that the boundary line be-
tween Alaska and British Columbia re-
mains in question increases the difficult
ty OF DISCRIMINATING 1t. Each year set

and the region in dispute becomes more
valuable to each claimant. There is
great indifference to the question on
our side OF the line, but in the dominion
it is we'll understood, and parliament
and public opinion have taken their
stand. Canadian maps now differ from
the United States maps OF that north
western r. ron, and the boundary ques-
ton pror' ;,es to provoke more interna-
tional bi ,rness than the present Behr-
