CORPORATE HOGGISHNESS.

From the Atchison Champion.
For men entrusted with such impor.
tant interests, the average railway mana.
ger, especially in Kansas and other
western states, seems TO have less good
business sense than the law allows. liz
proof of this The Champion would call
public attention to the fact that the
roads doing business in this state have
prepared a new freight tariff, in which
quite big advance is made in freight
charges on sugar, rice and other staple
articles which the Kansas consumer is
compelled to ship into the state.
I Not content vi h the enormous crops
Of wheat, corn, hay, oats, cattle and
hogs which they will be called to
carry out of the state at paying rates,
they seem determined, if posi-
bic, to squeeze the lions share

port into it. 1t Is just such displays of
corporate hoggishness as this that dis
gusts all fair minded people and Justify

MORE SHENANIGAN.

The president of the United States has
issued two proclamations warning al
pei sons to remove their cattle from the
Cherokee strip and not to invade such
neutral lands again. j. B. Mayes was
reelected principal chief of the Cherokee
Nation few days ago, and his first Off
cial act thereafter was to cause to bepub-
lished and posted notice, addressed to
Cherokee citizens holding cattle on the
Cherokee strip, of his appointment Of a
special agent to collect revenues from
such citizens for the privilege of grazing
cattle upon the unoccupied lands of the
Cherokee outlet This notice implies the
granting of grazing privileges to citizens
of the Cherokee nation upon the lands
mentioned, the presidents proclamation
Notwithstanding, and is in defiance of
the national authority. Such monkey
business as this is causing a feeling Of
disgust in good many people. The
government ignores the Cherokees' claim
to the disputed land and the administra-
ton forbids trespassing upon them by
anybody, and the cattlemen ignore the
whole business, while the Cherokees
openly nullify the orders of the govern
ment and proceed with the collection
of taxes for grazing privileges, thus by
indirection, as stated, granting such
privilege to whoever will pay the tax.
The administration should know that
the neonIe are pettiu0 tired of thiS dick
ering and shilly-shallying and see-sawing
between it and the cattle baroHs and In
dians, and that it is losing the sympathy
and support of the people of the west by
such policy. There is deep seated con-
viction that the strip and other Indian
lands in the territory might just as well
have been opened to settlement months
ago, and every day the matter is delayed
but adds to the discomfort, not to say dis
respect felt among the people of the
west.

The statement that Gen. Barksdale
had defeated Senator George for the L.
S.senate at the primaries in Mississippi.
Wednesday, seems to have been pre-
mature. A dispatch from Canton, Miss,
states that George failed TO carry his
own county, which was entirely due to
a large Alliance majority The vote
stands to date: George GO, Barksdale %.
1t requires ninety to elect, and George is
certain to get 1870 instructed votes. Even
Barksdale's friends concede Georges
election, and their only hope now is to
elect Barksdale as WalthalPs successor,
which they cannot possibly do.

Although Kansas is not quite three

vi toldl OF .--.-.......-.l III OoO.93l bushels
In single year Sedgwick county has
produced more than twice that of Maine
Tine year 1879 was a good year; how
about poor year," says the Skeptic.
Last year was the poorest in Kansas and
! a good year for Maine. The report cred
is Maine with 4.398,O00 and Sedewicb
county with 2,572, 900. This shows that
the poorest year this county ever had
was more than half good wear in the
whole state of Maine. A conservative
estimate of the crops this year in S edg
wick county is as follows:
w neat OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 9, goo 500 bus
Corh' ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, $500 coo -
Oats Observation-Disclosures. 900 600 "
or total of 10, 500, 800 bushels, which. it
Is safe to say, is nearly three times the
amount that VIII be raised in Maine this
year. Taking the three years of 1888. 1890
and 1891 and Sedgwick county will show
grand total of %, 704 1913 bushels, against
Names IS, l6l 900 bushels for the same
years.
In order to further show what won
derful county Sedgwick is as compared
with eastern states, take New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. The Weld of corn.
wheat and oats for 1SS9-1S90 with the
year 1891 estimated, is as follows: New
Hampshire, 1854. 900 bushels: Vermont.
10, 800, 600 bushels; or a fetal of 29.944.-
600 bushels, while Sedgwick county
shows a total of 23,704,373 bushels.
In other words Sedgwick county
alone produces nearly a million bushels
more grain in three years than the COM
bined crop of the two great states of
New hampshire and Vermont for the
same period, and this with a calamity
year IN Kansas thrown in, and only one
third raised in those years in this county
that will be raised when all the lands are
in cultivation, and the best methods pre-
vail as in those states. These are figures
which speak volumes for the state of
Kansas and Sedgwick county.
When one contemplates the ma gnitude
Of these figures and the possibilities of
this country. is it any wonder that the
thoughtful people of Kansas are enthusi-
astic: 1t is not out Of place to say that
which makes states great, makes cities
equally rs great. and cities only become
large according to the agricultural coun-
try tributary. In this connection we
must modestly compare Wichita with the
cities Of Maine to partially affirm the
assertion.
The United States census report ranks
Portland as the largest city in Maine and
Wichita the third in Kansas. The in
crease in the last ten years Is largely in
favor Of Nichira and which r,nr,st ha dina

Authentic News Of a Strike Of Good
Ore Received in st. Louis
Monday.
Supt. WEIGH Tells of the Recent
Developments On the East
Granite.
No Change in the Situation at East Helena
Manager Raht Talks-Cnur
d'Alene Mines.

Helena holders of Elizabeth we're a little
excited over the news which came from st.
Louis yesterday of an advance in that stock
and the reason therefor. Up to last Friday
the stock had been rather weak, and some
predicted that it would 60 below n dollar
within a week. Instead, however, on Fri
day last rumors were aloat that a strike
had been made in the property, and while
no confirmation could be had the stock took
a Jump and closed at 500. Saturday there
was more excitement, and it was reported
in st. Louis that a telegram had been re-
ceived at the Bi-Metallic Office on Wednes-
day which brought the information from
the Bi-Metallic side of the fence that the
north vein on the Elizabeth was rapidly i'm
proving, and it was this news which started
the buying craze.
Monday a telegram was received in st.
Louis from the Elizabeth, in which it was
stated that six inches of ore had been
struck in the north cross-cut. which as
say cd from thirty to 200 ounces to the ton.
Superintendent Welch, of the East
Granite, yesterday confirmed the news
of the strike in the Elizabeth, though
he did know its extent. 1t is claimed that
the great bonanza vein of the Granite
Mountain and BIZ Metallic, which has made
both these properties, continues into the
Elizabeth ground, and does not run north
of it, as the Bi Metallic people have here
fore claimed. 1t is said that the latter are
now satisfied that the Elizabeth has struck
it for keeps. Yesterday the quotation in
St. Louis was S2.67 bid and Ss2.75 asked.

with a twenty feet stump. At the 225 level
a crosscut of four feet was made to the
north of the shaft. A body of solid ore
from three to three and a half feet wide
found shows ar average of eighteen
ounces. Picked pieces have run as high as
sixty-four ounces while the lowest grade
runs nine ounces. The vein is sixteen feet
wide. The new strike is on what is sup
posed to be the Sunnyside vein and is $50
feet north of the present shaft. 1t prom
Uses to yield rich returns for all work.
Eighteen men are now employed. This
force will likely be increased soon. Su-
perintendent WEIGH says tho prospects
could hardly be more flattering. From the
grass roots the mine has shown evidence of
being a valuable property and from present
indications it bids fair to become one of
the biggest in the country. The main shaft
is $500 feet east and 1900 feet south Of the
Granite Mountain. The depth is 800 feet
less than the Granite Mountain and 500 feet
higher than the Bi-Metallic. This is inn
portant because the rich ore taken from the
Granite Mountain has come from the higher
levels. President Pardee had a deal on for
some time in st. Louis, looking toward the
sale of the property. He is now very glad
that the sale was not made. He was feel
ing very good yesterday over the outlook
and will go over to P~hiiipsburg to-day for
an inspection.
