CORN, ONLY CORN.

Previous to July 1st. Sedgwlck county
and this section of south Kansas seemed
taken up or to consist of wheat and oat
fields. From horizon to horizon the
great blocks of golden squares lay shlm-
mering in the sunlight, the green OF the
prairies and of the corn fields went I'M
noted bv the observed who watched
shadow-waves necessarily chased each
other across the yellow fields noddlng
in ripeness. But now that the wheat
and oats have fallen before the vlbra-
ting teeth of the machine sickle and
stacked away, there remains only corn
fields. The gold has given place to the
emerald. 1t now looks as If there was
nothing but corn, corn everywhere, tas-
selling and silking, luxuriant maize, helds
of corn of hundreds and of thousands
of acres, between the rows of which
regiments of cavalry might ride unseen.
There will be millions of bushels OF corn
in Sedgwick county alone, four or five or
six millions of bushels. AS there seemed
no end to the wheat and oats, there Is
no end to the corn.

The issue joined between the govern
ment's commissioner of Indian affairs
and the Catholic bureau is likely to
bring out some conditions and facts, if
not at variance with the theory of our
government of dissertation of state and
church, at least that will be news to a
great many people in this country, that
is, the policy that has been pursued of
entering into contracts with church
organizations which vests them with
semi-official powers and prerogatives.
In view of this very many people will
regard the rupture referred to as a most
fortunate circumstance if it shall result
in the final and complete severance of
all such relations. The sentiment Of the
masses of the country is as strongly OPP
posed to a state church as it ever was,
and Will never be changed.

Senator George, Of Mississippi, is
quoted as saying that leach state may
allow or prohibit alien ownership of
land" Senator George, we are assured
by the Houston Post, Is a great constitu-
tional lawyer. but if his views are cor
rect then the federal government has no
power to bind the states by treaties, and
the decision of the supreme court that
federal treaties are to be regarded as the
supreme law of the land is but moon
shine. If Senator George is correct the
states and not the federal government
control international commerce, and
Texas can forbid the landing of British
goods at her ports, and Kansas can
prohibit her citizens transferring land
to citizens of Massachusetts, of Maine.
Either Senator George has been misre-
ported or he does not know what he is
talking about.

SET DOWN ON Fem.

1t is pretty well understood that the
Sedgwick county Alliance central COM
mittee at their meeting last Saturday,
utterly ignored the advances OF the
Democratic bosses for fusion this fall.
In fact the coalition committee sent
around by the Democrats were even de-
MED an audience. 1t was only last
winter that the Democrats of this city
were denouncing the Alliance for all
that was out, because of the course that
party in the Legislature in refusing to
resubmit the prohibitory amendment.
The Alliance evidently haven't forgotten
the episode. Besides the Alliance knew
that a fusion meant Democrats IN the
offices. The Democratic party zen
thuse' of the fuse always where they
are to put the offices. So the alleged
fusion-Democratic slate falls TO the
ground, unless the Democratic bosses IN
this city can successfully make the
same kind of trading go in the canvass
that they worked off last fall.

FELICITY AND PROSPERITY IN KAN


To the Editor OF the EAGLE
I'm any place where ere consignd
Our own felicity, we make or tind'
And this is certainly true in Kansas.
A few days devoted to short excursions
to neighboring cities, recently. afforded
the writer much pleasure. No land
scapes surpass in quiet, restful beauty
those seen from the car windows on any
road radiating from Wichita. On an
average summers day one beholds an
intensely blue sky, a few feecy white
clouds, clear atmosphere, golden sun
shine. vast stretches of undulating pra-
irie in various shades of green, great
fields of waving corn, golden stuble
and stacks of grain, clustering groves,
in which one gets, occasionally, a
glimpse of the white farm house with
its red or gray roof and green blinds,
and the accompanying red barn
and quiet surroundings suggestive
Of peace and felicity, herds of browsing
cattle, long lines of intersecting hedges,
and men and teams in the movements OF
their daily avocations; all making a liv-
ing picture, pleasing the eye, and cheer
ing the mind of the observer, if he has
any capacity TO perceive and enjoy the
harmony and beauty of natures handt
work. And one is inspired with conf
dence in a country so blessed with nat
ural advantages
Hope can only cease to cheer the
mind of those who are subjects Of I'M
changeable, unfavorable conditions
such conditions as can never endure il
the genial cline and on the fruitful sol
of eastern and central Kansas; and the
man who cannot find prosperity ant
felicity in such country would hardly
find felicity within the pearly gates Of
Paradise. AS well say the human race
will become extinct from sterility, a:
that the Kansas soil will not respond
bountifull to labor intelligently and
faithfully applied. Facts have knocked
the fiction out of the minds of those
who We're mislead during the speculative
boom period, and progress in prosperity
will now follow the enterprising applica
ton of capital and industry to natural
resources. G. S. NJ

The Warehouse Folly.
From the Mcpherson Republican.

From the Mcpherson Republican.
We did not think it worth while 10 say
very much about the proposed ware
house scheme. As long as it was only a
theoretical affair in the hay future II
could do no particular harm. But now
that the actual wheat is on hand and the
owner figures up the matter we think
that he will come to the conclusion that
warehousing is not what it first appeared
to be. If he is in debt he might as well
dispose of his wheat and pay what he
can as to do borrowing on the plan pro-
posed. If he is not in debt he doesn't
want to borrow. Moreover, the amount
of wheat in the warehouse will all be
known and will help knock down the
price, as the spectators will all under
stand that there is just so much wheat
that must be sold, which is the very in
formation they are seeking.

The statement given out by the com
missioner of internal revenue in regard
to the sugar crop of the country shows
that almost the entire crop produced
from sorghum is credited to Kansas,
only one other state (MissourD producing
any, and it only 10000 pounds. Evil
IDENTIFY there is some disappointment IN
the statement in that it indicates that
the bounty system is not stimulating the
sugar industry to the extent hoped for
when it was adopted. 1t is probable,
however, that the statement referred to
does not cover the entire production OF
the country. even in the cane districts OF
the south, many small producers not car
ing to obligate themselves as is required
by the terms of the law in order to Sc
cure the bounty. A very noticeable feat
ure of the statement is the large number
of maple sugar producers in New Eng
land in proportion to the aggregate prod
net.

POPULATION AND ATTITUDE.

From bulletin No. 80, issued by the
Census Bureau it is seen that about one
sixth of the population of the country
live less than 100 feet above the sea level,
namely, along the immediate seaboard
and in the swampy and alluvial regions
of the south, and that more than three
fourths live below !, 900 feet, while below
5000 feel are found nearly 80 per cent of
the inhabitants. At a great attitudes
there are found only the most trifiing
proportion In the area below 500 feet
is included nearly all that part of the
population which is engaged in manu-
featuring and in the foreign commerce
of the country, and most of that engaged
in the culture of cotton, rice and sugar.
The interval between the 500 feet and
l 800 feet contours comprises the greater
part of the prairie states and the grain
producing states of the northwest.
East of the 9Sth meridian the contour
of 1900 feet is practically the upper linn
it of population, all the country lying
aobve that elevation being mountainous
The population between 1900 and 1000
feet is found mainly on the slope OF the
great western plains. In this region the
belt between 1900 and 5000 feet is al
most everywhere the debatable ground
between the arid region of the Cordiller-
an plateau and the humid region of the
Mississippi valley. About 5000 feet irri-
CATION is almost universally necessary
for success in agricultural operations.
Between 1000 and 5000 feet, and more
markedly between 5000 and 5000 feet,
the population is decidedly in excess of
the grade or grades below il. This is
mainly due 10 the fact that the denseSt
settlement at high attitudes in the Cor
dIlleran region Is at the eastern base of
/ the Rocky mountains and in the valleys
