wEsrERN KANSAS ALL RIGHT.

One Of the EAGLES correspondents
who has travelled extensively through
the western part of the state during the
past ten days expresses the conviction
that Western Kansas is going TO make a
showing this year that will surprise
everybody. He says nearly every far
mer had good wheat crop last year,
and in consequence there was plenty of
seed, and all went to work in the fall
preparing for another full crop. Every
body put in some, the acreage ranging
from ten acres up. The towns along the
Great Bend extension report that back
from the road the wheat fields make
even better showing than those in sight
of the road, which are very fattering in
prospect.
Wichita, Scott, Lane, Ness and Rush
counties are certainly in prosperous
condition, and the prospects for big
wheat crop are very fattering.
Several car loads of fine brood mares
have been sold in the above named coun-
ties in the last six months, mostly selling
for cash.
Real estate men say there is quite de-
mand for farm lands. In Rush County
there is large acreage in wheat, and it
is all looking fine.
All of this goes to prove that Western
Kansas lands at present prices is safe
investment.

A reduction Of letter postage has been
contemplated for some time, and has
numerous earnest and prominent advo-
Gates, but the general opinion seems to
be that it would be costly experiment
for this country. According to reliable
calculations a reduction of one-half in
the postage on first-class matter would
mean on the basis of the estimated bust
ness for the present year loss Of nearly
S23 600, 900 of revenue. Some of this
would doubtless he made up from the
larger number Of letters written in con-
sequence of the low rate, but it requires
a good deal of faith 10 believe that any
large proportion of it would be. These
figures are not encouraging to the advo-
Gates of lower letter postage.

The late Colonel Burnsby tells ms that
when Turcoman belle is to be settled in
life the whole tribe turns out, and the
young lady being allowed the choice Of
horses, gallops away from her suitors. She
avoids those she dislikes and seeks to throw
herself in the way of the object Of her affec-
tions. The moment she is caught she be-
comes the wife Of her captor, who, dis
pensing with further ceremony. takes her

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent is quite clever in his an
alysis of the Democratic preferences for

noticed that he makes his calculations
from the personal opinions-which are
simply personal preferences, and do not

ences-of congressman and senator's.
He sets down the various states in three
columns with as much nonchalance as

During the sitting of the transmits
sissiDpi commercial congress in New
Orleans last week the Times-Democrat
made canvass of the members on the
question of presidential preferences.
There were 1913 answers. The vote was
scattered. Twelve men in all were men
toned. The count up was as follows:
Cleveland 80, Blaine 81, Boies II, Hill
Is, Palmer 8, Mckinley 4, Harrison 3,
Allison 2, Carlisle ?, Gray 2, WaIcott l.,
Gresham l, any good western Republi-

members of the congess were represen-

ators, ex-senators, congressman and ex-
congressman and many others whose
voices have been heard in the councils of
state, in attendance.

IMMIGRATION CHANGES.

The returns of the bureau of statistics
show that the tide of immigration to this
country still continues to increase in
spite of the legislation on the subject.
There arrived in this country during
January 1857 persons against IA, 1877
last year, and for the seven months $685.,
416 as against PA ,976, an increase of 3S.-
440. The increase, however, is almost
altogether with new countries; that is,
those that have hitherto been sending
very few here. There is falling off IN
the number of Scotch and English, in
the French and Danish and other races.
The greatest increase is in Russians, who
have sprung up from %, 901 for seven
months last year to 81, 239, or more than
double, the indications being that we
will receive an addition of over 100000
Russians during 1892 unless the excite
ment over the typhus fever keeps them
out.
The Slav countries generally are con-
tributing literally to the population of
the United States, having sent, during
the past seven months, "a, 613 Of their
people of this country as compared with
80, $50 in 1891. Even allowing for the
Russian Jews, it is now evident that
more Slavs are coming to this country
than people of any other race. Who
would have imagined five years ago
that there would be four Russians and
Poles added to our population for every
