and handsomest equipped stable he had
ever seen, and eclipsed even the famous
stables Of the Prince of Wales. This
stable is two stories IN height. is built
of brick and brown stone, and covers
four city lots. The exercising ring in
the northern side is covered with q glass
dome, and is about fifty feet long and
forty feet wide. Ii has tanbark ring.
On the stone floor in the center rest the
sleigh. the light wagon and the buggy
that the railroad king used in his life
time. They have never been disturbed
since his death.

KANSAS CROPS AND LIVE STOCK.

From the monthly report of the state
board of agriculture for July, 1891,
which is compilation of statistical data
taken from the assessors rolls of the
various counties, it is learned that the
states acreage in corn this year is $780,
500 acres; and in oats, 1897, 159 acres.
Jefferson county has the largest acreage
in corn, or $780, 95 acres; Washington
second with IA 209; Reno third with
127,212. In oats Sedgwick county leads
with 48,609 acres, with Washington
second, 1880.
No estimate is made of the average
yield of either of these crops, nor any
figures indicating the acreage or yield of
wheat. though con siderable space is
given in the report to the experience had
in large number of counties with the
different varieties of wheat.
In horses, Summer county is credited
with the largest number, $1,000; Cowley
next with 1909, and Sedgwick third
with 16,075. Butler leads in sheep with
3S, 299, and Sedgwick next with 1864.

An area of $500 square miles, inclosing

The level headed conservative men who

If it gives up those schemes, what is

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

The public school question is 'agitating
the cities of the first class of the state
not little just now. 1t seem that the
trouble that is likely to ensue will come
from changing the date of the beginning
Of the school year from June l to jan
uary 1, and by the further provision of
the amended law prohibiting school
boards from anticipating the revenue
for school purposes; that is TO say, the
school boards are forbidden to go in
debt for any purpose, and the school
funds for the ensuing school year are
not available until the year begins.
Representative William Rice, of Bourbon
county, is understood to be the author
of the new law, and in explanation of
its purposes and operations he says, in
part, in his paper, the Fort Scott Mon
itOr:
The present inconvenience will be re-
compensed 10y years of solid growth and
usefulness when, after January /, the
schools will pay as they go. It Will be OBJ
served that the new law makes ample
provision for building school houses and

school officers shall pay as they 60. If the
school boards are in condition that this
legislation Inconvenience them now, the
fact emphasizes the necessity for the new
law, because under a reasonable and fair
of the old law boards had no
right TO do the things which the new law
prohibits and should have done exactly
what it requires.
Of course the law is general and APP
plies to all cities of the first class not
governed by special acts, and Wichita

The president struck keynote in his
Albany speech when he declared that
every dollar issued by the government
should be worth 100 cents every day in
the year. Il am one of those" he said,
who believe that the men of the shops
and the farmers remote from money
centers have the largest interest of all
the people in the world in having such
dollar" Whenever the currency is de-
preciated, he went on to point out, the
laboring man is the first one to be in
jured. OF course the president is right;
nobody Will deny his statement. But
it does not follow that the volume of the
circulating medium cannot be increased,
for everybody knows that if the amount
of money III circulation-or in existence
as shown by the treasury records, as for
that-were double what it is. 1t would
rot depreciate in value the fraction of a
particle. Why? Because the people
have faith in the governments ability to
redeem its promises to pay.

The statement has been given out and
generally believed that ex-senator Blair
has been and Is still drawing the salary
due the position of minister to China to
which he was appointed SIX months ago
but could not fill on account of the re-
fusual of the Chinese government to re-
ceive him, but it seems to be a mistake.
1t is now announced from Washington
that Mr.. Blair drew only one months
salary as minister. and to that he was
entitled under the law. A foreign min
lister has thirty days in which to prepare
to start for his post, and one months
salary is paid him in advance. Mr..
Blair Is, therefore, paying his own ex-
penses at present. and he manages to
enjoy life in the sulry air of Washing
ton this summer, instead of among the
cool New Hampshire hills Nobody will
kick at this except Mr.. Blair. although
everybody feels like kicking the Chinese.
