No More Fusion,

J. ID. McCleverty, one Of the States
leading Democrats, said this week in
discussing the outlook for Democracy
in Kansas: Fusion Is thing of the

We shall have a straight ticket in the

Mr. Rossington also arrived yester-

A cOmmiIIee Of colortd lawyers has
been hard at work in Washington for
some time past trying to obtain the
support of congressman and senators
for scheme to take all the negroes
out of the country and colonize them
somewhere In South America or
Mexico. The committee are delegates
from big convention Of colored law
yers held in Chattanooga in October,
called to consider the status Of the
negro race In this country. The com
mitiee claims that 1t represents the
prevailing sentiment Of the negroes of
the country, and has the support of the
most prominent ones among them.
They want, as a starter, an appropria-
ton OF one billion dollars. The idea
is about on par with some Of the
Populist schemes. The colored people
are well enough of In America. With
the proper development the race Is
certain to reach high plane.

Actual Value Assessment,

The county clerks In convention at
Wichita adopted unanimously resolu-
lions asking an assessment next
spring on an actual value basis. The
Capital commenting thereon says:
II the assessment Is made mkt summer, as
suggested, on the fnll vlne basis. the rate
will be from three to ave times what the leg.
islature int. nded and an intolernble burden
upon tar payers next winter. For the ~ 70
board Of equalization TO adjust the charge
would be too expensive amp c implicated an
undertaking, though possibly the adjust
ment nigh be made In some other mann'r.
by county boards or by act OF Legislature
next winter.
Perhaps more practic al plan would BE- for
the clerks and county commissioners TO
agree that the return to actual v'luo assese-
ment be made In 1895 and recommend the
this action To the successors such Of them
az wi not then be in once. with this
understanding the Legislature next wlntci
can reduce the tax rate to one third or one
fourth OF tue present rate.
1t Ia absolutely necessary that some
such agreement be reached before any
thing practical can be accomplished.
IL Is utterly useless for one or few
counties to attempt any such move
ment and the uselessness Of trying 10
get the county officers Of the State to
agree generally upon any scheme, no
matter how sensible, makes the return
to an actual valuation practically i'm
possible. The only way to get at II
will be by a stringent statute adopted
by the Legislature compelling every
county in the State to return its
property IN the manner already spec
fled by the law. Dickinson county
has tried going 1t alone and knows 1t IL
a failure.

TARIFF DEBATE.
Burrows vigorously Attacks the
Pending Measure.
REPLIED TO BY GENERAL BLACK.


WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-The attend
ance on the floor and in the galleries
was not large when the house met at
II o'clock yesterday morning, After the
reading of the journal and some minor
work the house resolved itself into
committee of the whole for the con-
alteration OF the tariff bill and Mr.
Wilson concluded his speech OF yester-
day.
Mr., Burrows, OF Michigan, who for
mally opened for the protectionists,
then arose. He declared that the Nc
Kinley tariff act had not only secured
needed revenue, but encouraged new
and protected old American industries
He referred to the marked decline in
revenues since July / last and de-
clared that II was not due to the Nc.
Kinley law, but to decentralization
caused by fear Of impending radical re-
auctions In duties re held that II the
elections of 1899 had resulted different
ly there would have been prosperity to-
day. He then launched forth into q
general answer to democratic attacks
on the Mckinley law, which he lauded
in every way.
NJ. Burrows compared the demo-
cratic platform of 1892 TO the South
Carolina ordinance OF notification and
argued at length in favor of the consti-
nationality of a protective tariff. He
declared the present bill bold step In
the direction of free trade--a step
which would certainly lead TO individ-
ual disaster and national bankruptcy.
Mr. Burrows then took up the bill in
detail and first declared that the free
list made an especial assault on the
farmers He held that the proposed
transfers were the beginning OF the
end for the protective system in this
country. He predicted that free iron
ore and free wool would inevitably re-
suit in ruin TO those products or in low
ering those engaged in their production
TO the level Of foreign competitors He
declared that the minority would resist
this wanton destruction OF American
interests to the very last He held
that this policy would drive labor from
the largest field OF production and re-
duce the manufacturing industries to
complete dependence on foreign ma
tons for raw Materials result dis-
astrous even to the interests II was pro-
posed TO promote.
BY the dutiable schedules Mr., Bur-
rows declared that many industries
would be utterly destroyed and there
was no provision which would stimu'
late a single domestic industry, 1. He
also bitterly attacked the entire ad
valorem system. In closing he appealed
TO the members TO refuse TO change the
present tariff and restore industrial
prosperity to the nation.
Mr.. Burrows spoke for almost three
hours
