In consular reports for June, No III is
an account of the trade of China and
Japan" from Mr.. T, r. Jernlgan, the Unit
"a states consul general dated Shanghai,
April TO- 1895. He says
THE total value of the foreign com
merce of China for 1891 was greatar than
ever before 1t amounted to 200 3O7 l33 taels
against 26799i,l50 taels in 1898 The customs
receipts being an infallible test OF the con-
diuon of trade, also indicate most healthy
state as the gross collections for 1894
amounted to 22,523t00 tac1s, against 2l.gs9-
zoo taels In 1893 difference in favor of
1894 of 53i 800 taels."
In a foot note at the bottom of page $50
the taels are reduced to dollars 1t says:
'ReIucod in the department from taels

treasury valuation of foreign coins, the
halkwau, or customs, tael averaged as fol-
lows: 1891 S0.7575; 1898, S0.93; 1854 Sl.36. 1t
Will be seen that while the imports of
China In 1891 exceeded those Of 1893 to the
amount Of 2-3l2@G7 taels. the value of the
Imports of 1896 when reduced to American
currency, falls below that of 1898 to the ex-
able balance given by the consul senSrai,'

The suggestions made last week by

sixth and Eighth streets, now twice as

I'm two and made TO conform in size to the
other blocks in this locality. The opening
OF seventh street through these blocks is
perhaps the strongest reason for the adop-

at present are a barrier To the passage of

the changes suggested should be carried

starting a town to he known as Dale
Afterwards IT occurred TO him that Daie
was not located at the right place and that
five mile west II would be well to start q
town to be known as McCloud, bearing
his name. Ex-senator Iittman, OF Okla
homa who was operating IN the matter
with McCloud caused the money paid TOR

the Indians. and in this way the citizens
who had put In money at Dale were being

Your Topeka correspondent under date
of August /, but printed in to-day's issue
in regard to the school fund investigation
makes two misstatements that do certain
communities a great wrong and msead
the public.
The first msstatemeut is that the 500 900
to aid in the construction Of the university
the truth being that the university was
constructed years before these bonds We're
issued and they were more properly speak
ing issued for the purposes of extensions
and maintenance needed by the entire state
at time when the credit of the state was
so low that it could not procure the funds
at reasonable rate and Lawrence loaned
the state her credit, and Lawrence has
given the state more than 100000 by way
of interest payments and under the act of
1883 is released,
The other misstatemeut is that some part
of certain $4,000 Of bonds may be secured
if the far west counties which issued
truth is that the far west counties are
in better shape than some of the central
ana eastern counties. There IS not sin
Gle far west county bond" OF undisputed
legality owned by the permanent school
fund but what IS paid up on interest, and
what has behind 1t as many dollars OF

As chairman OF that committec ] had

DESTROY ALL THE ruMBLERs.

Secretary Coburn. of the Kansas state
board Of agriculture, gives through the
Journal some timely and pertinent ad-
vice to the farmers Of that state. He
advises them to- at once enter upon the
work of destroying the Russian thstles
before they have a chance to mature and
propa gate He points out the fact that
these pests are annual plants, that have
only to be cut down before they ripen
to be entirely destroyed. There has been
an impression that they must be dug up
and destroyed root and branch. He also
calls attention tn the fact that, being
"tumblers,' these weeds spread their
seeds with marvellous rapidity, one plant
growing enough seed to infect a whole
township, every tumble" they make
scattering the seeds broadcast
The Kansas farmers ought to proceed
against this common enemy with the
same vigor they employed in rldding the
state of the Populists The latter are
"tumblers" too. one Pop with his
calamity howl can infect a whole com
munity and can induce a dozen farmers
to bewail their mortGaged conditions let
their tools rust in the fields and their
seed corn rot i'm the barn and raise Mrs.
Leases crop instead Of the divnely or
dained harvest OF the Kansas praircs.
1t is not So hard to get rid of these
human political "tumblers' as has been
imagined They are not perennial; they
are only periodical and 10y being uipped
