MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS.
Census office Returns of the Totals In Kan
saa Counties.

Census OffiCe Returns OF the Totals In hAn-
sas Counties.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-The much
talked-about census of Kansas mort
cages was completed last evening.
There are, or rather there were when
the facts were gathered, Kansas mort
cages to the amount of S235, ASS, los
This includes both farms and city lots
everything in the form of real estate
mortgages. The total assessed valua-
ton of real and personal property In
1890, not including the value of railroad
property, which Is placed at S57, ,s66, 2SS,
was $780, 593, I'll. It appears therefore,
that the mortgages on real estate
amount to within S55, 900, 900 of the to-
tai assessment on real estate and per-
sonal property of the state. The state
ment is made at the census Office that
the real comparison is not nearly so bad
at that It is said that the assessment
does not represent one-third or one
fourth of the real valuation, and that
this true value is over $500, 600, 000 The
census officials think it is fair to say
that the land mortgage debt of Kansas
is about 81 per cent. of the estimated
true value of all taxed real estate. The
average amount of debt per mOrtgaged
acre is put at S6.65.
Mr.. Porter says that the largest debt
exists in the sections where there has
been an advance in improvements. He
considers that this favorable showing
for Kansas, which he says is the heav-
lest in debt of any state, is an encour-
aging indication of what this inqniry
will show relative to indebtedness in
other states There has been a great
deal of discussion in regard to the mort
cages of Kansas. The Farmers Alli-
ance agitation has given an Importance
to the question which makes it one of
more than local interest. Below are
given the farm and city lot mortgages
for the entire state by counties:

A Postal Service Inspection.

Postmaster Gorden has received
instructions from the postmaster gen.
eral to make visit to all the postofices
in the county and report to headquar-
ters their condition, convenience as to
position etc. The visit is made solely
with view to improving the postal
service and the postmasters in all the
county seat postofices the nation over
are requested to make similar visits.
There is no payment for the work, the
visits being made as a matter of cour-
tesy and for the public benefit. The
move is a good one and the postmasters
of Dickinson county will soon have an
opportunity of having any suggestions
they may make as to improvement in
their local arrangements cent to head
quarters for the information of the
chiefs of departments, Mr.. Gorden will
probably make the round of the offices
during the next two weeks.

The Church Supper.
To the Editor of THE RErLEcroR:

10 tne Eo16Or OF The REFLECTOR:
1t looks like the church supper and
church dining hall business is being
overworked in this city. We have
several hotels, restaurants, boarding
houses, lunch counters, etc., etc., that
make business of feeding people that
could well take care of all the people
we have in any crowd, and why we
open up number of church boarding
houses for these days is strange.
These big days if left to the hotel
men would cover multitude of dull
days, enabling them to keep their
places Of business up to a better stand
dard. The reputation of city depends
greatly upon that of its hotels; its
hotels depend entirely upon business
for their reputation, and every dol
lar taken from them by some one not
actually in that business is wrong.
Do the churches have a right to open
these dining hall on these days? Yes,
they the same right to open these
dining halls these days that they have
to open a little dry goods stand for a
day or two during crowded days in
town and sell of a loS of donated
dry goods or hardware. They have a
right to buy up numberiof cheap arti-
cles of hardware or tinware, and then
sell the stock out on these days but
what would we say of that? The
dining hall business has long been a
custom but there is no more dead right
connected with it than there is with
the peddling dry goods or tinware.
Now let US look at this thing from
the church standpoint. The average
church dinner is worth more than il
sells for. No hotel man can set up
the dinner for % cents. The food
costs the members that to provide it;
then they go to the hall and buy it
themselves and think it is pure gain.
A collection of half the expense all
around would net more money than by
the average church supper.
Again, the money that a man pays
for church dinner licenses him to
associate with you for an hour at that
table, no matter who he is; then there
is no big difference between the two
states of existence. Only 25 cents
difference. Do you get the idea? If
you were going along by the dining
room of one of our hotels and see a
certain grade of humanity dining
inside, would you not say, Lets go
to another hotel?" Yet you throw
wide open your arms in these church
lunch rooms and all comers are On an
equal social plane with you.
Is it to save soulsY Who talks
about souls at one of these suppers?
Who plans with reference to the soul
when you are making the supper?
Who figures on the success of the
affair by counting the number to
which the plan of salvation has been
shown? WILL OF LADING.

New YORK, May Ex-senator William
Stewart. of Nevada, has prepared an
amendment to the constitution making
the President of the United States in
eligible for a second term. This amend
ment Senator Stewart Will introduce in
the Senate on the first day that Con-
gress meets. There was semi-Sena-
torial caucus held at the Hoffman
House last night, and it is understood
that the subject of Senator Stewards
proposed amendment was dis
cussed in an informal way.
The Senators present besides Sena-
tor Stewart were Colquitt of Georgia,
WoIcott of Colorado, Squire of WASH
ington, and Jones of Nevada. Senator
Stewart hiss assurances that the amend
ment will receive strong support IN
the Senate and he believes that it will
pass that body. The Senator will re-
cite in a preamabIe to his proposed
amendment that under the present sys-
tenn the presidents during their first
terms use their office as political ma
chine and the White House place for
political caucuees. 1t is only during
the second term that the country re-
ceives the full benefit Of their ser vices.
