UNFOUNDED COMPLAINTS.

A few days ago the Journal published a
communication from a citizen who is labor
ing under the misrepresentation that the
farmers pay most of the taxes and that
taxes have increased in ten years while
the products of the farm bring lower prices.
The latter part OF this statement is true in
some respects. but his complaint is made
much more grievous by being misled by
Peelle's statistics. He quotes that author
ity TO show that the average price of wheat
from 1879 to 1890 was $1.9. when as a mat
ter OF fact the price was not a dollar a
bushel but two of these years. In 1879 the
price was s1.10.s u bushel and in 1881. a
year of a short crop. Sl19.2. The other
eight years wheat fuctuated from CAS- cents
to 92.6 cents a bushel. AS to corn. which
Peeile tells him averaged 400 cents during
the period named. the price was as high as
40 cents but three years. In 1881 a short
crop carried the price up To $50 cents. In
1889 IL was worth 2s.3 cents. Five OF the
ten years in the correspondents period the
price of wheat was less that at the present
time. During the five years beginning with
1890 the average price of corn was 1913 cents.
which was higher than hat of two of the
three preceding periods of five years. The
low prices of 1895 and 1896 were due TO the
unprecedented crops. II CLARK County

LAND FOR THE LANDLESS.

The landless should watch the fate of
the bill now before the Kansas Legislature
which compels a man having more than
a quarter section of land to sell il to
any man who has no land whenever called
upon to do it. The landless man offers the
holder of more than a quarter section a
given sum for his surplus over the specified
quantity. If the unfortunate holder will
not accept the price. the matter must be
referred to a disinterested party, who will
name the price which the holder of the land
must accept. He may protest that he does
not need to sell. but that can make no diff
ference. since the law says that he must
sell. In the abstract of the bill which has
been printed the provisions for payment are
not given; but a law which compels a man
to sell his land would be inadequate if it
did not fix the terms of payment. If the
alleged purchaser is without money. and
many are, the law which compels a man
to sell his land should compel him to accept
the notes of the purchaser in payment. If
IL did not the would-be purchaser would
derive no advantage whatever from the
law. AS mortgages are not popular in Kan
sas, the law might require the landholder
TO take the notes of the purchaser i'm full
payment. Being devoted to the ffty-cent
dollars scheme of the silver mine owners,
the unfortunate land owner might be re-
quired to accept payment in silver bullion
at its coinage value.
This bill has not been passed; it may be
that all of the Popocratic and Populist leg
islators are not as progressive as the au-
thor of this measure, and may reject it.
Still. it is based upon the theories advanced
by the Kansas breed of Populists. and par
~ticularly by the man who is chief justice of
the State. Ultimately. such a law would
be declared to be unconstitutional if any
abused land owner .iving outside of Kansas
should avail himself of the privilege of APP
pealing to the federal courts.
Nevertheless, the landless who covets
lands i'm Kansas should keep his eye on the
Populist Legislature, which seems deter
mined to undermine the rights of property.
Indeed. all those who desire TO learn what
new folly the most progressive element of
the Populist party will declare should
watch the Kansas Legislature.

JEALOUSY.

The jealous watchfulness of European
governments over the acts of each other
is illustrated by the interest which the
Russian government is alleged 10 have
taken in the arbitration treaty between
the United States and Great Britain. The
Russian government asked Secretary OIL
ney. as the story goes, If the treaty under
consideration was simply one for the arbi-
tration of disputes or one of defense and
offense. The reply of the secretary is re-
ported to have been that it is a treaty
of alliance in support of the Monroe doc
trine. If that is a feature of the treaty it
have been printed.
A treaty for the arbitration of disputes.
drawn SO as to give each government
equal rights in the adjustment of difficult
ties. could not be otherwise than advan-
tageous. A treaty of offense and defense
is a very different affair, and should not
be thought of. We can have no interest in
being an ally of Great Britain in its con-
~tentions with the other powers. particular
ly Russia. Besides, such a treaty would
be in conflict with the policy of noninter-
ference with European affairs which has
prevailed from the days of Washington
until the present time. Even if such were
not the case the United States has every
thing to lose and nothing to gain in an al
lance with Great Britain which would
make us her hacker 1t is a matter of no
Importance to us whether Great Britain
continues to hold India and is potential in
the affairs of China or whether Russia dis
putes British power in the East. More
than once Russia has been friendly to the
United States, and there is no reason why
We should assume an attitude of hostility
by becoming the ally of Great Britain.
Such action would not be in the interest of
peace, which appears TO be the special
purpose of the arbitration treaty. An Of
fensive and defensive alliance of the Eng
disappearing peoples is the dream of a
few men like Mr.. Carnegie, who is not
quite certain whether he is a citizen of the
United States or a subject of the Queen
Of Great Britain. Such a treaty would
mean larger expenditures for war ships
and coast defenses, and, i'm a certain sense,
would involve the United States in the
militarism of Europe, which has made it's
leading nations war camps.

The State Legislature would not need an
extension of it's session if the members
would get down to business and stick to
it. But adjournment over Saturday and
short sessions daily curtailS time very ma

methods of doing State business would
vastly expedite matters for the public

out of her rights. She is entitled to one
senator and two representatives. and will

The statements of the secretary of the
State Board of Charities in some points
are manifestly unfair. He leaves the i'm
preston that all the conditions that pre-
vailed in the penal and benevolent insti-
tutions of the State a year ago still pre-
vail. This in some cases Is not true. Some
reforms have been instituted within the

true of the Prison South.-Seymour Repub-
