Jews for America.

LONDON, September 2S.-The Jewish
Colonization association, although
formed but few days, has already
taken hold vigorously, and the project
of settling the poor Russian Jews in the
United States is to be pursued as rapid
" as possible. The association has
come to the conclusion to send nearly
all the Jewish eXiles TO the United
States. and to secure their landing by
ali lawful means. The Jews will be
settled as far as possible in agricultural
colonies. but it is not expected that
thev will contine themselves TO the
country. Their right to go into any
lawful business will be vindicated, II
necessary. through legal proceedings.
II is claimed that the United States has
room enough for all the Jews that Will
emigrate from Russia, and the oppor.
tunities for profitable business are mol
eoualed in any country. The assocla'
ton will. therefore, for the present
wholly confine its attention to sending
Russian Jews to the United States and
supporting them there. A st. Peters

numbers to Seberia They will not be

the picture OF Benjamin Franklin has

Census once Returns Of the Totals In Kan.
sas Counties.
The h-talked-about census OF Kan
sas mortgages has finally been com.
L!eted. There are. or rather there were
when the facts were gathered, Kansas
mortgages TO the amount OF S235, 1885,
JOS. This includes both farms and city
lots-everything in the form OF real es-
tate mortgages. The total assessed val
uation OF real and personal r~en>g in
$780, not including the value n rail-
road property, which Is placed ut S7,-
1856, ga, was 500. $685. II appears,
therefore, that the mortgages on real
estate amount TO within S55, 600, 900 OF
the total assessment on real estate and
personal property in the state. The
statement Is made at the census Office
that the real comparison Is not nearly
so bad as that II is said that the as
sessment does not represent one'third
or one-fourth OF the real valuation, and
that this true value is over $500, 900, 900.
The census officials think it is fair to
say that the land mortgage debt OF Kan
sas Is about y per cent OF the estimated
true value OF all taxed real estate. The
average amount Of debt per mortgaged
ecre is put at S6.65.
Mr.. Porter says that the largest debt
exists in the sections where there has
been an advance in improvements. He
considers that this favorable showing
for Kansas, which he says is the heavi-
est in debt of any state, is an encourage
ing indication OF what this inquiry will
show relative to Indebtedness in other
states. There has been great deal OF
discussion in regard TO the mortgages
OF Kansas. The farmers alliance agi-
tation has given an Importance to the
question which makes It one OF more
than local interest. Below are given
