GovEnNon NICHOLS, LETTER.

Governor Nichols, of Louisiana, has
written Secretary Blaine verv cool and
CAREFUL letter, copy of which is printed
in the Geographic nows columns
of this mornings TIMES. He reviews
the official correspondence in reference
to the New Orleans tragedy, and as
.sumes that the matter is undor inycsti-
cation by the grand jury.
The President is credited with faith
in the efforts of Governor Nichols to
prevent further bloodshed, but no direct
reply is made to the President that all
offenders might be brought to justice.
The Governor does not pledge active
exertion to punish tho citizens who
avenged the death of Chief Henncsey.
His letter is proof that he will let the
matter down rs lightly as possible.
There is no evidence in it that he has
rnadA, or will make, any inquiry as to
I the Investigation of tho lynching, but
lie merely assumes" that the matter is
4 to be investigated. This may not be
satisfactory to the President, the State
Z department, or the Italian Government
but is likely TO be the end of the affair

A Significant Appointment.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-[Spcciall-
The President to-day appointed Ivory
g. Kimball, of the District of Column
bia, to be United States Judge of the
police court of the District of Colum bia,
to act until the end of the next session
OF the United States Senate. This APP
pointmcnt is made under tho provisions
of the local police court jury act, APP
proved March 8, 1891, and is significant
inasmuch as it indicates that the
President feels authorized to fill the
newly created Presidential Office during
the recess Of Congress. While the adj
ditionai circuit court judges como in
this category, it is not regarded as likely
that these appointments will be made
for several months vet.

WORK FOR THE KANSAS ALLIANCE

WORK FOR THE KANSAS ALLIANCE.
What's the matter with the Farmers
Alliance of Kansas?
Money lenders in the midst of the
farmers by exorbitant contracts have
aided in bring about the existing desti-
tuition of seed wheat in Kansas, but the
Alliance has not raised as loud howl
against this as some other alleged OPP
pressions of the farmers.
The farmers are banded together in
the Alliance for mutual benefit, for
such concert of action in their business
transactions as will result in the general
good of the class, and if the reported
condition of affairs in Kansas be true,
there is more work for the Kansas ALI
ance at home than in the halls Of Con-
gross.
However, the restitution of seed
wheat in Kansas is not as extensive as
was reported.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 24.-[Speciall-
The railroad commissioners have made
their first tour of examination in ten
Kansas counties for which money was
appropriated to purchase seed grain
and have returned to this city.
1t is estimated that 10000 bushels of
spring wheat will supply the seed to
those who stand in most urgent need.
There were $40 applicants for aid to
Judge Humphrey at Hayes City, in Ellis
county. After an examination Judge
Humphrey found only twenty who were
in actual need of aid from the State.
Graham, Seward and Meade counties
yet remain to be visited. The commits.
sioners declare the people are in much
better condition than they were reported
to be. Ex-Governor Anthony stated
that in the counties which he visited
wheat had gotten into the hands of
money lenders who were demanding
their pounds of flesh. These men
furnish the farmers with seed wheat
under contract which obligates tho
farmers to give one-third of the crop in
payment.
