MIDWAY HORSE MARKET.

Barrett G Zimmerman's report: The receipts
OF all classes of horses have been heavy DUR
ing the week. Owing to unfavorable weather
the volume of sales has been very much
smaller than expected, and the stock on hand
to be carried over is uncommonly large. A
general improvement in trade has been noted
the last two days, and larger sales and a bet
ter tone to the market is confidently expect
ed the coming week. Farm horses and
mares are most in demand with considerable
inquiry for general purpose horses for city
use, and some call for pinery horses and
drivers
The receipts Of all offerings are in excess Of
the demand, and with all the conditions more
favorable to the buyer than the seller. Prices
rule low, and many snaps can be found
among the holdings Of consignors anxious to
close out and go home The following repre-
sentative sales are for service sound horses
unless otherwise mentioned.

last few years. Stormy scenes were here en-
this old building was Of the sort that made the
people wonder what 1t was that produced
statesmen SO easily out on the plains.
Then the legislature met at Lecompton,
where the building was pne of the plainest
sort. In fact, the state had never had any
thing like as good capitol as when it was
at Pawnee. But r. never wanted to 40 back
there.
The third legislature met at Lawrence. in

The members objected but 1t was the best
the state could do, and they had to put up
with it.
In 1856 congress made an appropriation for
new capitol for the territory. 1t was intend
ed that it should be good one, for the start
was $4,000, and that was a good deal In those
days. 1t was decided to built it at Lecompton
and the foundations were begun on big
scale. The contractor built the basement and
foundations, but there was so much steal in
1t that the state decided on examination that
1t did not want the structure at ALL and the
capitol was removed. The foundations were
utilized as fortress and barracks by the
proslavery leaders and troops in 1855, and
later it was the beginning of Lane university.
The principal structure built on the
foundation and it stands yet
After so much changing about, the capital
came to Topeka again, its present location.
The state began in 1869 to put up the present
capitol building. which will be, when COM
pleted, one of the finest structures on the
prairies. 1t was built IN sections The
west wing and the east wing were far apart
for long time, and at last were connected
by main building that is being completed

ABILENE'S AMBITIOUS SCHEME.
Only once has there been any attempt to
change the capital since the permanent loca-
ton at Topeka. That was at the end of the
boom in 1888. Abilene an ambitious town in
| the center of the state, called a capital re-
moval convention, and several thousand people
| came to the gathering. There were speeches
| and songs and a big time. All the sentiment
| was in favor of the change, for the west end

| before them until it was decided that there

the statisticians divide the nation, and
is giving to the North American Re-
view his comparisons and conclusions
as to the rate Of progress. The May
number covered New England, and the
June issue carries the same examina-
ton and comparisons into the middle
states.
The worldwide movement, under eco
nomic conditions, partly natural and
partly artificial in their sources, which
is increasing the urban at a much
greater rate than the suburban or
farming population. is one of the first
facts he presents. In New England the
rural population has remained practf-
cally at a standstill in the twenty years
between 1870 and 1890, while in the mid
die states the increase has been only
Is per cent, the normal rate being
40, while urban population in the for
mer region has increased over 100 per
cent, and in the latter 81 per cent.
Nearly the whole increase in New Eng
land is of foreign origin, the Americans
having increased but 6 per cent, due
to the movement to the West of the
native element, he thinks, but largely
due to the decrease in the birth rate,
in fact. In the middle states the ma
tive element hold their own better,
having increased 80 per cent in an av-
erage increase of 43 per cent. The nor
NAL rate of increase should show ma
tive population in these states Of 1,700,-
600 more than the census of 1890 reveals,
due again to the movement westward.
An interesting part of his analysis,
more so at present when congress is
engaged in the fostering business, is
that in which he compares manufac-
turing conditions and notes their pro-
gress. In New England the value Of
the output has quintupled each decade
since 1850. the value being, in millions
of dollars, 2S3 in 1850 and /, 499 in 1890:
while in the middle states the increase
has been eightfold, rising from 470 to
3,648. During thirty of these years this
increase has been stimulated by protec-
tive tariffs, and this abnormal develop
ment obtained. Meanwhile the branch
of industry that has not been fostered,
but has had to bear the burden of the
other fostering, shows the effects in the
diminution of farm products until "the
production is so limited that the total
grain crop Of New England would
hardly suffice to feed the population of
Connecticut" with decrease but little
less in the middle states. The number
of acres cultivated, per inhabitant, has
fallen from 4 in 1850 to rs in 1890 in
the latter, and from 4 to % in the
former
The share labor has had in this in
bearing on related questions now being
discussed. In New England, in 1850,
the proportion of wages to product was
as 1 to 81, and in 1890 as to SO. In
1850 was to 4.63 and in 1890 as 1 to
378, showing that the wage share had
increased in both, but more in the lat
ter region. The increase per operative
in New England was 81 per cent and
in wages 81 per cent, while in the mid
die states the increase of product per
operative was 80 per cent, and that
in wages was lis per cent. This cor
responds with the data given in the
Aldrich senate report on wages and
prices and refutes the claim of the uni
versatility Of decrease Of prices.

it is not the right Of the Republican
