SOUTH DAKOTA POLITICS,
MI. John H. King Thinks the New Repre-
sentative VIII He Republican.


John H. King Of Chamberlain, 8. D., chief
Of division in the register office of the Treasury
Department. has just returned from South
Dakota, where the people are preparing to elect
a successor to the late Representative Gamble.
Mr.. King was quite prominently mentioned as
candidate, but he says he will not enter the
list He believes that a republican will be
elected, although the alliance people are max
ing strong fight. The latter are campaign
ing before the convention, and at the harvest
home festivals are putting forth a great deal of
alliance doctrine. The republicans will have
only short campaign and will be unable to
reach the farmers. There is liable to be great
deal Of apathy with but one man to vote for:
the incentive which called out the vote when
the location of . state capital was an issue or
when an entire state ticket, two Congressman,
members OF the legislature and county officers
had to be elected is absent. South Dakota has
been election ridden for the past three years
and the people are getting tired. The hope
the democrats entertained that the alliance
would fuse with them is not to be realized, Mr..
King says, although the democrats claim it be-
cause they helped the alliance elect Senator
last winter. But even if the leaders did agree
to fuse, the rank and file of the alliance
would not follow them. They claim that
they are much stronger than the demo-
Gratis, and it would be foolish for them
to help elect democrat There
will be three tickets in the field and the repub
licans have the most votes if they will come out.
Among the candidates mentioned by Mr.. King
WHO are in the field for the republican nomina-
ton are W. E. Lucas, now of Hot Springs. but
formerly Of Chamberlain; Edwin Van Cise of
Deadwood, Z. b. Martin OF Deadwood and Col.
Gardner Of Rapid City. These are all from the
Black Hills, while L. b. French Of Yankton, L.
NJ. Preston of Mitchell and J, NJ. Green of
Chamberlain are among those who are in it from
the eastern part OF the state. The northern
portion OF the state comedies tbs second men,
Der to the southern portion, for although the
state Is not divided, Maj. Pickler lis from tue
northern part, and it is good politics on the
part OF the republicans to select their candidate
from the other section. Ex-Representative
Clifford and ex-Delegate Matthews will not be
candidates, nor will the brother of the late Mr..
Gamble, as has been reported. Mr.. King says
that Senator Pettigrew is not mixing in the
fight before the convention, but says he will do
all he can to elect the republican nominee as
soon as he is named. The big crop which
South Dakota has raised this year makes the
calamity campaigners feel somewhat discour-
aged, but they are circulating loads Of liter
ature in every part of the state.

THE DEBT OF KANSAS,
Figures About Farm Mortgages Furnished
by u Census Bulletin.


Figures About Farm Mortgages Furnished
by Census Bulletin
There has been good deal of discussion in
regard to the debt of Kansas. The Farmers
Alliance agitation has given an importance to
the question which makes it one of more than
local interest. As is known the census office has
made an effort to collect statistics in regard to
the mortgaged Indebtedness of the country
One of the results Of this inquiry is bulletin
issued today which gives the mortgaged in
debtness Of Kansas by counties. The total as
sessed valuation Of real and personal property
in 1890, not including the value of railroad
property, which is placed at sS7, SGT, ,2aa, was
S290, ,593, Ill.
The estimated true value is, between
eight and nine hundred millions 1t is found
that Kansas has a mortgage debt of S235. 485. IOS
which does not include state and railroad land
contract debt Of 1861 us. This debt is 27 per
cent of the estimated true value of all taxed real
estate, The average amount Of debt per mort
gagged acre is placed at S6.65. Mr.. Porter, the
superintendent Of the census states that the
result Of this inquiry differs widely from those
that were predicted. He said that it might be
supposed from what was asserted in public
speeches and elsewhere that the Indebtedness
Of Kansas was about equal to the true
Vafue OF tue ianu. Ins, however, ngures
proved to be unfounded. 1t is also
shown that "a per cent of the total
debt in force against acres is on real estate in
the western half of the state. where it is said
values are low and where settlement was made
but few years ago. 1t is proposed to prepare
a map showing the exact localities in the state
of the debt.
Mr.. Porter says that the largest debt exists in
the sections where there is the greatest pros
perity and where there has been an advance in
improvements.
He considers that this favorable showing for
Kansas, which he says Is the heaviest in debt
OF any state, is an encouraging indication of
what this inquiry will show relative to indebted
ness in other states.
