TIE following from the Kansas City
Star has our unqualified endorsement.
Since Kansas became a state there
never has been a time that it could
not care for its own poor and the sys-
tenn of begging resOrted to, almost
every year, has Gone as much to injure
our state as all other causes combined.
Like all new states, assistance may,
occasionally, be required in some To-
calities, but we can always give it and
that without going outside of the
family.
"Rey. George Brereton, as he signs
himself, writes letter to Secretary
of War Lamont from East Northfield,
Mass, asking for assistance for desti-
tute settlers in Cheyenne county,
Kansas. Kansas is deeply interested
in the suppression of such as Brere-
ton; and of the whole brood OF aid
seekers That was a bad day for
Kansas when the word aid became
associated with her name. 1t was
away back in 1860, thirty-tive years
ago, but Kansas suffers to-day, not
only from traditions of the famine of
~
of restitution and pauperism then at
tached to Kansas territory and it has
descended to the state. There has
never been in Kansas since 1860 such
a drought, nor such restitution as
then befell the comparatively small
population of the territory, but as the
famine has diminished in extent and
severity, the aid fraud has increased
in magnitude. The celebrated grass
hopper year. 1874, was marked by the
fight to the eastward of a cloud of
aid agents, who injured the reputa-
ton of the state even more than the
graSshopperS. These fellows, who con-
tinued their begging schemes along
into the spring of 1876, were finally
chOked off by the press of the state.
At no time since 1860 has Kansas not
been abundantly able to help herself.
An absolute failure of the crops of the
entire state has never been known
since 1861. There are counties in
Kansas this year that have dried up,
but they are surrounded by counties
with an abundant corn crop. In case
of an utter and entire failure the
credit of the state is ample and may
be used for the relief of her people"

The Comlnr RaiIroad.

When the gentlemen who are inter- esting themselves in the matter of building railroad into this valley in- vestigate the matter thoroughly, as they undoubtedly will, the Tribune feels confident that the superior ad- vantages offered by the San Pedro and Benson route will be made plain to them. The rich mines at Mineral Hill and Mammoth alone would furnish a business well worth cOntending for. while the San Carlos coal fields could be easily reached by q short spur. More than this, point would be reached which has already three railroads, and which IS the only town in Arizona which is so blessed. Benson enjoys that distinction. The extension of the Bisbee road to the coal fields of Sonora is only question of short time, and all the country would be tributary to the Santa Fe. The Ma cosari mines, the Cananea mines, and a hundred others, would draw their supplies from this section, which they would not do if the line were extended to Calabasas. Impossible mountain raLges would prevent this. The San ta Fe, as well as any other road, is on the lookout for local business, and they will not find that by paralleling the Southern Pacific to Tucson, across an uninhabited desert country, they can not expect to obtain lt.--Florence Tribune.
