ONE OF MANKIND's CONCERNS.

From the Philadelphia Record
DR.. CYRUS Edison, of New York. speaks
of the famine in Russia as a Pandora s
box, from which the malignant typhus
fever is but the first evil To be liberated.
This is a sweeping, and many will think
an unduly sombre estimate of the Rus
sian visitation from a sanitary point OF
of view: and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the popular view may prove cor
rect. Yet DR.. Edison has done public
service in sounding note of warning IN
regard to possible peril to which the
medical profession has hitherto given
little thought.
1t is true with nations as with individ-
uals that the injury of one is the concern
of all: and this truth has been more
clearly evidenced as tine ties that bind
the nations of the earth in close COM
munion have gradually multiplied. Thus
a great famine, in the scientific view, Is
more truly universal calamity IN this
age of the world than at any former
time. Philanthropy and humanity
have not been SLOW TO rec
ocnize the increased measure
of national obligations. All barriers
of creed have faded from sight, and all
has been forgotten but the cry OF suffer-
ing.
1t remains for medical science to take
the same broad view of its obligations.
As the time to fight fire is in its incipi-
ency, so the best way to avert the menace
of contagion from famine is to circum-
scribe the famine field with Gordon OF
food. 1t is too vast a work for any one
profession or country. Only 4 co-opara-
tive movement of the principal nations
could make it effective, and there Is little
time for formal movement to that end;
vet informal effort might avail. Without
this, the ordinary quarantine systems
may prove inadequate to surely keep the
peril at safe distance.
Self-interest and humanity, therefore,
alike demand that all nations should con-
tinue to lend hand in the work of stay
ing the destructive progress of famine IN
Russia, if thev would make sure that
none of the evils springing from such a
visitation shall find Judgement in their
own territory. The medical profession
might do much to help on this precau-
tionary effort.

PUBLIC LAND IN KANSAS.

In view of the interest that is being
manifested just now over the opening OF
the Indian lands adjoining Oklahoma
and of the Cherokee strip which is looked
for within the next two or three weeks,
and IN view of the disappointment that
a failure of the opening of these lands to
settlement will occasion-which failure
is predicted by somc-and in view of the
fact that the season for setting crops this
year is upon us, rendering it impossible
for large numbers of intending settlers
who are on the borders of the lands re-
ferred to TO return to their former local.
ties in time to prepare for and plant
crops-we say in view of these condi-
tions it will be of interest to the walters
for the opening to know that thousands
of acres of government lands can yet be
found subject to entry in western Kan
sas. The officers Of the Garden City
land office some time ago furnished the
johnson City Journal the following list
of the number of acres OF vacant lands
in the Garden City land district, which
district comprises only portion Of west
ern Kansas:

Wichita, Hutchinson, ETC., are making a
herculean effort to have George L. Anthony
re-appointed. 1t is very essential to these
towns that he be re-appointed in order to
carry out his arbitrary ruling and dis
elimination in favor of certain interior
towns as against Missouri river points. A
railroad commissioner should be unbiased,
treating all alike and acting for the well
fare of the whole state and not showing
partiality to one particular locality
AIchison Patriot.
The qualifications cited in the conclud-
ing sentence above quoted, which are
essential as far as they go TO the efficient
discharge of the delicate and RESPONSIBLE
duties of railroad commissioner, are
eminently characterized in Commissioner
Anthony, and for this very reason he
will be retained in his present position.
As before said in these columns, if to
prevent discrimination in favor of Mis-
souri, river points is to discriminate
against them, then is the state railway
commission is guilty of such discrimina-
ton, but not otherwise.

Senator Morgan has offered substi-
tute for the provision, in the pending
Indian appropriation bill, for the APP
pointment of army officers as Indian
agents, that Indian citizens, that is In
dams who have become citizens of the
government, be appointed as agents of
the government TO deal with the In
dams. This idea appears to be plausible,
though it can only be regarded as an ex-
pertinent. The most that can be claim
ed forit, is that it may tend TO satisfy
the Indians and serve to disarm their
prejudices against the government and
induce them to accept citizenship. 1t
will not be claimed that Indians as
agents would be more efficient or honest,
even in dealing with their own people,
than white men. The proposed change
would no doubt be very satisfactory TO
the army. as the officers Seems 10 have
an aversion to being assigned to that
extra professional duty.

The falling of of the production OF pig
iron in the United States during 1891. as
compared with 1890, was 937. 900 tons.
In England there was a decrease of 651.-
1876 tons, and in Germany of POD, 432
tons. Notwithstanding the heavier de
crease in the United States the produc-
ton is still over one million tons greater
than that Of England and nearly twice
as great as the production of Germany.
There was last year a sag in the iron
trade in all parts of the world, and the
end of the period of depression has
evidently not yet been reached. This
has been occaSioned by over production
for despite the enormous and constantly
increasing demand for iron, the output
from the mines and furnaces, added TO
the accumulated stocks. is in excess OF
present requirements.

These lands are within weeks travel
by wagon to most of the intending set
tiers who are waiting on the border for
the prospective opening. Furthermore,
these Kansas lands are, in the main,
equal to the lands to be opened to the
south, in point of fertility, and in point
of accessibility to railroad facilities and
contiguity to settlement and civilization
they have decided advantage over the
lands to be opened.
The Great Arkansas river traverses
five of the counties named, almost d.
rectly through the center of each, and
the others are supplied with numerous
local streams. Last year as fine crops
Of all kinds were grown throughout that
section as any in the state, and it Is con-
coded that present prospects for the
coming wheat crop are better in the
western part of the state than in any
! other portion.
These conditions and facts are certain

A gentleman who was in Atlanta, Ga.
a few days ago, at the time General Dan
Sickles' visit to that city in the interest
of Hills candidacy, and who attended
the public meeting that was held to give
the old general public hearing and re-
ception, says that the speaker, when he
had been talking about fifteen minutes
made incidental mention of Clevelauds
name, and that the outburst of applause
was simply deafening and did not sub
side for several minutes. The gentle
man says the general was very careful
after that not to SO much as refer TO
Cleveland indirectly, and that the speech
failed to arouse any enthusiasm. Our
informant is not a Cleveland man, but
he is frank to admit that so far as he
could gather from expressions Of opinion
he heard, not only in Georgia but other
southern states he visited. the sentiment
of the people in that section is over
whelmingly for Cleveland for the Demo-
cratic nomination. But you couldn't
make the Hill champion in Topeka be-
lieve it, or admit it if it did.

PROHIBITION ORGANS OPINION,
Eron, the Ennori, Repnpllcan.

From the EnPoris Republican.
In 1888. when the Republican majority
in Kansas went above highwater mark,
the Republican state platform contained
a strong prohiDition plank. In all the
other years since the adoption OF the
amendment, when a state convention
was held, the platform declared for pro-
hibition. And in each of these years
the declaration was proper and necessary,
for the Democratic party which was
the principal opposition party-was
loudly demanding TesubmiSSion, thus
making the question distinct and lead
ing issue. In 1890, however. new
condition of things was inaugurated- Il
new political party arose which took no
notice of the temperance issue, and could
not be persuaded to discuss It. by 81
lence it manifested its acquiescence IN
the law as an established policy OF the
state, and gave attention 10 questions OF
finance and transportation. In that
year the Republicans made an unusually
hot campaign in behalf of prohibition,
and lost $4,000 of their famous g, VVO
majority
This year the party that menaces Re
publican success in the state IS the same
party that confronted us with such sur
prising results two years ago. Now as
then it wholly ignores prohibition, Still
acQuiesinc in the law as 1t stands. Con-
seauentlv for the first Time In decade
there will be a state campaign IN Kansas
! in which prohibition does not figure as
an issue. Both contestants are satlshed
with the law. The question therefore Is
| removed from politics by the logic or
| events, and takes Its place among the
other accepted and established principles
| of state policy, where it properly be-
| longs. All that remains to be done now
is for the moral agencies to educate
public sentiment up to the point of giving
! the law more rigid enforcement.
The insertion of prohibition plank
this year in the Republican platform
being clearly unnecessary, the next ques-
| ton in Importance is, is 1t expedlent'
| The within of a few good people 10
have such plank adopted might well be
| INDUCED in bv the party, provided no
harm is likely to ensue. VIII party sue
cess be imperiled by such a plank: 10
give the right answer TO this question Is
| the task that is now squarely before the
managers and voters of the Republican
organization In Kansas. Can the party
afford to risk alternating the support OF
ten or twenty thousand anti-prohibltion
Republicans in order to parade its posi-
ton, which is already well understood,
upon a matter that is settled and no
| longer at issue:
The Republican gives considerable at
tention to this subject. because 1t is a
matter of important and perhaps vital
interest to the Republican party IN this
state

AN EXPLANATION.
From the Atchison Globe.

From the Atchison Globe.
Will the Wichita EAGLE do the jobbers
of Atchison the justice to state that they
do not object to the fifteen cent rate
made by the railroad commissioners to
Wichita, SaIina, Hutchinson and Arkan-
sas City: What the Atchison JObbers
object TO is this: The railroads accepted
the fifteen cent rate. and offered 10 re-
duce the fourth-class rate TO twenty
cents, but George T. Anthony refused to
give them permission. This Is the basis
of the Atchison suit IL Mr. Anthony
will give his consent for the railroads to
reduce rates as they propose, then there IS
no quarrel between Atchison and the
railroad commissioners. The twenty
cent rate will benefit thousands Of re-
taiiers as much as the fifteen cent rate
benefits five wholesalers.
