Qannett. the special agent e The
tenth census, after . thoroueh In
veatiKaiion, placed the true v0Iue Of
all property in the State at t7eO,WO.-
100 in 1850, and it IL aesuredly not
worth lees now. But taking only
the bare agricultural value Of Kan
sas, and at the very lowest estimate,
this would make q total of $3.50, 314.
400. So that instead Of the value OF
the State being swamPed by mort
cages, ~ has been so frequently re-
presented, Kansas farms are not
mortgaged to . greater extent than
about IS per cent OF their value,
which is happily also increasing a.
the mortgages are being paid up. 1t
Is probable that the value of Kansas
lands Is nearer so an acre than $12,
aud rs II limited at on good authority
in the bulletin before US, that the
total assessed value Of all property
Ia Kansas would be 81 ,393, S39, 776, Il
goes without saying that the esti-
mate of It's agricultural value Is very
low and that Kansas property has
been badly assaulted by those who
should have been first to defend its
ere dit in the public mind. Property,
like individuals, Is hurt by receiving
q bad name, especially from those
who's interests entitle them to speak
Of IL with experience.
Again bulletin No. IA states that
''of the total debt In force against
acres "a per cent Is contracted In
respect OF lands In the western part
OF the State where values are low
and where settlement was made but
q few years ago largely upon public
land" The motives also for incurr-
ing these debts were the desire to
purchase other land or to make i'm
provements or extend business-ail
OF which reasons are purely optional
and essentially speculative in their
character-in eighty cases out Of q
hundred in one county, and eighty
two i'm another. Indeed the investi-
cations show that three-forths of
the entire debt of the State OF Kan
sas was incurred for purchase money
or improvements, the greater portion
of which were expended in sources
Of reproductive industry within the
State itself.
The case OF Kansas is strikingly
like that of an individual newly
starting in business and who has
been forced to borrow. She has bor-
rowad and is now getting sguarely
and firmly on her legs and after i'm
proving her fields and constructing
her railroads is rapidly paying away
her debts, which at no time have
been in such a proportion to her
actual means as to justify the PETERS
aud the simpsons in making a cry
about her bankruptcy for the sake Of
creating a panic and reaping a tenn
porary and evanescent political
triumph out Of her ruin. Such con-
duet was disgraceful, II not treacher-
Gus, and seems no wise justifiable in
the light of the investigations re-
vealed by the Census Bulletin No.
IA, which deals very fully with the
property statistics Of this growing
prosperous State.-ChicIgO Inter |

KANSAS FARM MORTGAGES.

Those Pefferized and pessimistic
agitators I'm Kansas who recently
succeeded i'm fouling their own nest
i'm the hope Of making political
capital out of the financial ruin OF
which they were the prophets, have
not been much heard of since IL be-
came known that the bosom of the
Hopper" State Is teeming with the
varied fruits Of a fertile soil and OF q
prosperous and enlightened system
Of agriculture. Kansas had q wheat
crop that was wonderful and now
has corn crop which is surprising
ly bountiful, and for which there
seems to be q new market opened i'm
Posen and other parts Of Germany,
where the people who formerly used
Russian rye are now preparing to
make American corn into good and
wholesome bread. Kansas Is In luck

which the calamity howlers OF Kan
sas have yet received IL the publica-
ton of statistics OF farms and homes

COLONEL DON PIArT.

After a two weeks siege OF Ia
grippe, which at no time was con-
sidered dangerous, this noted editor
and journalist breathed his last, at
his beautiful country home, Msc-O-
Chez, in Logan county, Ohio, on the
18th Of this month, at the age Of 70
years. AS former citizen Of Logan
county, we remember well his pic
turesque country seat. A few miles
north OF BelIefoutaine, where the
road follows 8. heavily wooded
stream through one Of the most fer
tile portions OF Ohio, high on the OPP
posite bank stands this massive stone
structure, which as Mac-O- Chez, IL
known the world over. A bridge
spans the swift little stream, and
serpentine driveways lead up TO this
vine-covered castle, which looks so
gloomy outside, but is SO pleasant
inside. For years 1t has been the
custom Of the Bellefontaine lads and
lassies to pay their respects to the
inhabitants Of this lofty rendezvous
just whenever they felt SO disposed,
and the large, roomy halls were al
ways open to them. The coolest
nights of winter would find huge
back-logs in the fire places, and the
bare oaken floors frequently furnish
ed the opportunity for youthful
exercise to music. On these occa-
sions the Colonel and his wife were
i'm their element, and nothing SEEM
ed to give them more pleasure than
to entertain their young friends.
The press now speak of him as ian
erratie genius" "of a nervous, ex-
citable, and almost too earnest dis
position" "a pure, honest, and
patriotic man, with a precocious in
tellect," but as we remember him,
he was highly cultivated gentle
man, possessing that well-bred man
ner which gained for him the re-
spect OF all his neighbors.
He prepared for the law and was
elevated to the common pleas bench
at very esrly age. His subsequent
public career needs no recapitula-
ton. As journalist and editor Of
his paper in Washington, he worked
a revolution in certain ways Of the
profession and gained a reputation
that Is world wide. Since retire.
ment from active journalistic work
he has resided quitely at his country
home. He was called from this
place in 1888 at the urgent request Of
Mr.. Cleveland to found BeIford's
Free Trade monthly magazine In
New York. After year at that he
returned to Ohio and engaged upon
an extensive biographical history
Of General George Thomas, which
was almost completed at the time Of
his death. His latest work for the
press was a series of letters to the
Cleveland Plaindesler on the issue
and candidates of the late campaign,
which attracted wide comment.

lows:
By the Dresi,ient ofhc United States
Of America. Il proclamation:
Ii is a very glad ,incident of the
marvellous prosperity which has
crowned the year now drawing To n
close that its helpful aud resssuring
touch has been felt by all our people.
Ii has been as wide as our
country, and SO special that
every home has felt its com
forting influence. It Is too great
to be the work of mans power
and too particular to he the device
OF his mind. To God. the Beneficent
aud All Wise, who makes the labors
of men to be fruitful, redeems their
losses by His grace, and the meas
ure OF whose governing is "a much
beyond the thoughts of man as il IL
beyond his deserts, the praise and
gratitude OF the people of this favor
ed nation are justly due.
Now, therefore, |, Benjamin Har-
rison, president Of the United States
of America do hereby appoint Thurs
day, November 20 present, to be a
day of joyful thanksgiving to God
for the bounties of His providence,
for the peace in which we are per-
mitted to enjoy them, and for the
preservation Of those institutions of
civil and religious liberty which
He gave our fathers the wisdom to
devise and establish and us the cour-
age to preserve. Among the aEpro-
pirate obseTvances of the day are
rest from toll, worship in the public
congregation, the renewal OF the
American ties about American fire.
sides and thoughtful happiness to
those who suffer lack of the body or
of the spirit.
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be sf-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this 18th day of November, In the
year Of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-one, and Of the
Independence of the United States

can be held the next day. James
