a WICHITA SQUEAL.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
Another calamity crowd has appeared
on the surface to worry poor old Kansas.
Kansas was during the boom overlun
with investment companies, that shov ed
money on to people, and many of them
were done up by sharpers borrowing
more on property than it was worth.
Some OF these concerns are filling the
eastern papers with their croakings.
The knight Investment company OF
Wichita has issued circular which is
well calculated to startle the people even
OF Kansas INTO an appreciation of the
political FOLLY Of the last three years.
The information contained in it is brief
and to the point. The president, n. c.
Knight, in this circular, declares:
"Ihe Populist victory at the polls last
November, the Anarehlstic inaugural ad-
dress OF Governor Lewelling, the dual
houses Of representatives, the Calling
guns the bayoDets called out by the gov
ernor to defeat laval contributed in
wiping out what little credit the state of
Kansas had left to her. Not content with
this, the legislature in the last ten days
a
making of contracts PAYABLE in gold, and
by practically unanimous vote, passed
mortgage-redempti law giving the bOr-
rover eighteen months afte; sale in which
TO redeem his land Che in the meantime
retaining pOSsessiOn), without lessening
the foreclosure expense materially, or re-
duclng the time of obtaining Judgment.
The effect of this statute is that where the
borrower Is given by the lender twelve
months IN which to catch up in the pay
ment OF interest, and suit Is then insti-
tuted, at least four and often five years of
interest and taxes VIII have accumulated
before the lender obtains possession of the
property. Comment is unnecessary. The
Knight Investment company has looked
the situation squarely in the face, and we
frankly say that we want none of it, We
have therefore decided TO make no more
loans, and to Withdraw from the state, re-
moving our office to st. Louis
Three years ago, under Republican
rule, conservatism marked the course of
legislation at Topeka; eastern capital
flowed in copious streams into the state,
ana the farmers of Kansas were enabled
to borrow money at cheaper rates Of in
terest than had The pioneers of any state
in the Union. Kansas has had expert
ence with grangerism, just as Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa had it.
1t is to be hoped that Kansas is satisfied
with its experience.

Indian MYTHOLOGY.

A sort of mythology has grown NJ
about the American Indian in regions
whence he vanished one hundred years
ago The popular names Of many
plants include the adjective Indian.
Few persons in America say Indian
corn now, but Indian cakes is term
still strongly intrenched south of Mason
and DiXon's line. and there is even
plant known TO children as Indian
tobacco. The brilliant Gamma j. called
Indian shot, because It's seeds are
black, bullct-like pellets. Indian ira
ditions are preserved with sort of
reverence in the truth. Twenty-Five
years ago local travellers on certain
road in Worcester county, Md, COM
monty stopped at n point in the re-
mote country, reached under a bush
at the roadside, drew forth Stone
mortar and pestle used by the Indians
one hundred years before showed tho
relics 20 any stranger ia the company,
ard carefully put them back. A whole
neiChborhood knew the whereabouts
of the Instruments, but they seemed
as safe a in a museum.

can perform the drudgery of their de-

questions relating to appointments, to
