SENATOR PEFFER'S MORTGAGE STA
TISTICS.

Republicans everywhere are de-
nouncing Senator PETER as a defamer
of the good name of his state, because
of the mortgage statistics he has
given to the public. The facts are
he is simply giving the official figures
of the census department, and these
wiseacres, in their criticisms of him,
fall far short of the real calamity
howler. In The advocate Of July 2,
1890,we placed the indebtedness upon
the farms of Kansas at $l47, ,OOO,-
coo. These figures were obtained from
statistics gathered from the several
sub-Alliances of the state. AS "a large
number Of Kansas farmers were not
connected with the order, and as some
sub-Alliances did not report, we were
confident at the time that our figures
we're too small. The official census
report will justify this presumption.
The Republican press and Repub-
lican officials bitterly opposed the
proposition to make this mortgage in
debtedness q part of the eleventh
census. They preferred that the
people should remain In ignorance of
the facts; and now after certain
part of these facts have been gathered
by the department, they persistently
deny their correctness. MIR. Porter
does not claim that his figures cover
all the real estate indebtedness of the
state. He says in his letter to the
editor of The ADVOCATE that it is only
intended to cover that part of the
debt resting upon the homes that are
occupied by their owners. This will
of course make the figures far less
than if they covered the entire debt.
It will be seen, however, when the
figures are published, if they ever are,
that Senator PETER is simply quoting
official statistics. 1t will therefore
be proper for the Republican press
to point to Superintendent Porter as
the real liar, and the man who is
slandering our great state. He is
the real calamity howler. 1t is use
less to attempt to dodge the issue.

An amusing scene occurred the other
day in one of the courts, and those
who saw 1t have not yet done laughing
over it. 1t appears that one OF the old
settlers OF st. Paul, wearying of call

suit to enforce Its collection. When
the dayo trial came on the old settler,
who is as jolly an hishman as ever
wore shamrock, was little late show
ing up, and the jury had been impan,
hind the attorney, and rapidly ran his
eye over the jury. When he reached
the last man he sprang to his feet and
regardless Of court etiquette and de-
corum, called out:

ers son on that jury owes me bill
