COLUMBIAN.
The Kansas Board Issues a
Circular Letter
To Members Elect OF the Legislature, Tell
ing What Has Been Done and Prof
fcring to Turn the Matter Over
to the Control OF the state.

ToRzKA, November 16.-The board of man
ayers of the Kansas exhibit at the Columbian
exposition has addressed a circular letter to
each member elect of the Kansas Legislature.
The letter relates the history of the organiza-
ton of the board, and the work SO far
accomplished. 1t then continues as follows !.
1t has been the purpose of our board OF
managers to do only those things that were
absolutely necessary to be done IN order to
hold our place in line with other states until
the legislature should meet, and then ask
the state to assume the enterprise and relieve
as. We have taken a lot and built the house,
and made large collection of exhibits, be-
cause it was q part of the work that if done
at all had TO be done prior to the meeting of
the legislature. and could not have been
done afterWard.
The management has been economical.
The secretary who has devoted his entire
time to the work, has been given salary OF
500 per month. He is the only paid officer
connected with the enterprise. The mem
bers of the board have given much OF their
time to the duties of their positions but they
have served without pay. Inc Two lady
members have given their entire time and
have received no compensation.
Much profitable work might have been
done in the development of display OF our
mineral resources, which are valuable and
cover a wide range, but we have not been
supplied with funds that could be used Tor
that purpose. Prof. Z. Hayward, OF the
State university, has been asked to take
charge of this department., and will give It
attention. The educational department u
thoroughly organized, and prepared to make
an exhibit that will fully represent the pro-
gress of the state.
The contributors of money have been
liberal, but have not been as liberal as the
promises made, and have not been sufficient
to enable the board 10 employ superintend-
ents of departments, to design plans for in
stallation, or to collect, classify and prepare
exhibits for presentation, or do many other
things that If done, would contribute to the
complete success of the undertaking.

Here we have the testimony of
one of the most sagacious Statesmen
in the whole world that the promised
agood time coming" has arrived.
The threatened ruin of Wesesrn
farmers has been averted, their mill
stone like mortgages are in process
of liquidation and another bounteous
year has filed their graneries to over
flowing. New industries are spring
ing up all over the country; ship
building is hourishing and manu-
facturers are running their mills on
full time and finding profitable mar.
kets for their products, and employ
ees are receiving wages more than
double that paid in European coun-
tries.
THE census bulletin OH the stats
tics of manufactures in Philadelphis
just out, presents many interesting
facts, it says "The total number o.
establishments reporting is 1s,14S
and the product $264, 1928, 1852. This
shows an increase of 96.32 per cent
in the number of establishments
since 1880 and an increase of 1l.9s
per cent in the product. The largest
percentage Of increase is in wages
paid, it,6eing loS.69 per cent; the
avese per hand increasing from
500, in 1880 to $599, in 1890.

ALICE ON THE STAND.

Testimony of the Defendant Ia the Mitch.
-. ell Murder Case vt Msmphts-
MEMPHIS, July 28.-In the Mitchell
murder Gaze the defendant was called.
She arose slowly from her chair and
walked deliberately to the witness
stand. It was highly dramatic move
ment. She was not sworn and answered
the questions Of General Peters in low
but firm voice. She said she had known
Freda Ward as long as she could re-
member, and there was nothing I'M
pleasant between them. She visited
Freda at Gold Dust twice. The last
time she remained two weeks. She said
she knew of nothing unpleasant between
her and Mrs. Vollnnar. She saw Ashley
Roselle twice. She thought he was in
love with Freda Ward. She knew the
way Freda spoke Of him they were en-
gagged.
II did not want Freda to marry any
young man, because I wanted to marry
her myself" said Alice. Then she be-
gan to cry.
Freda had winked at her near the
custom house. "That wink with the
right eye" said she, ''meant love you.s
Lille said to me as I started to Kill
Freda, Where are you going said
Il want to see Freda once more,'" ant
here she burst out crying again.
When General Peters asked that Alic'
be placed on the stand the defense mad,
the objection that there was no prece
dent for such action. A hot argumen
ensued and General Wright made al
eloquent plea to save the family the hu
initiation Of Alice making an exhibition
Of herself. The judge, hover, rule'
ttat she must go on the stand for exam

LETTER FROM ZARDETTA.

The following notes from a letter
published in the st. Cloud Times, are
published as of interest to our Cath
o.ic readers
The oppressive heat prevailing in
the Eternal City, together with var
ious reasons, induced the Rt. Rev.
Bishop to leave Rome after stay Of
only two weeks, with view of return
ing there again in fall. He departed
ior Venice, where, i'll the famous dome
Of St. Marc, he witnessed the process
ion Of Corpus Christi. The dominion,
the republic, the sway and wealth Of
"Venetia la supurla" is gone, yet faith
has remained, and conquered time and
decay Of human power.
He afterwards entered Austri, Tyrol,
and paid a flying visit to the Beuedic-
tine Abbey, Of Muri-Greis, and finally
reached Innsbruck.
Innsbruck is his tsAlma Mater
where twenty years ago the Bishop
graduated and took the degree Of Doc.
tor Of Divinity. He, for the first
time, made his appearance here as
Bishop, and was joyfully welcomed BY
both faculty and students. In their
midst he celebrated the feast of St
Aloyaius, received a deputation Of the
American and Swiss theologians, and
& presided over 4 reception rendered
him IN Alumni hall.

THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR DOES
NOT DAMAGE BUSINESS.

In such an evolution and change
it is very hard to keep track of and
judge correctly of cause and effect,
and, in considering the influence Of
Presidential elections upon business,
we are very apt to overlook many
other conditions which either directly
or indirectly contribute to results. If
we turn to statistics we do not find
much comfort. The figures of the
New York Clearing House probably
furnish as good an idea of the state
of business throughout the United
States as any. All the business
activities of the country are localized
here, and "Wall Street" is a barom-
eter f)r trade and commerce, as we'll
as finance. Statistics show that in
1872, Presidential year, the ex-
changes we're three billions of dollars
more than in 1871, and only a
billion less than the succeeding year.
In 1875, however; they were three
billions less than in 1875, and one
billion less than in 1877, but in 1880
they were thirteen billions more than
in 1879, but eleven billions less than
in 1881, when we had a 'boom'
year, owing to the good crops in this
country and poor ones abroad. What
ever incubus a Presidential election
might have been upon business, that
year it was borne like a feather upon
the crest of a tidal wave. The volume
of exchanges steadily declined from
1881 until 1885, but in the Presi-
Dental year of 1884 the exchanges
we're nine billions more than in 1885
from which point there was a sub.
stantial recovery again during 1886
and 1887, but in 1888 they declined
again four billions. The summing uF
Of all these figures leads to thu
opinion expressed in the opening
lines of this article, that while {
Presidential election has some in
Auence upon some kinds of business
there are other influences far more
controlling in their nature.-Fron
