BLEEDING Kansas"

In a recent interview at Galveston,
Vice President Paul Morton of the
Santa Fe says of western Kansas: 1T
was formerly grazing country for the
Buffalo. An attempt to make it a
fertile country has proven a failure,
and it is now reverting to its original
condition save that cattle have usurped
the field formerly used by the buffalo.
In eastern Colorado, where they ir-
rigate extensively and raise large
crops of alfalfa, there is large cattle
business, and feeders are buying corn in
Kansas at Is cents, the Santa Fe getting
a good business in hauling that corn
to them. BY feeding the corn farmers
and feeders make more money and we
get a heavy live stock traffic from
Colorado to Kansas City. Corn is selling
to shippers along our line at Il cents,
while in Nebraska it has to be sold by
farmers at 8 to 10 cents. Being nearer
the gulf ports, Kansas farmers are able
to secure better prices than those in
Nebraska or western Iowa. The stir
ring up that the eastern papers have
given Kansas is benefiting the state by
opening the eyes of the people to their
condition and showing them what the
outside world thinks of them. There
are enough people in Kansas who de-
sire to DO the right thing. The pop
ulists have control OF the government,
but this is expected by many to make
them more conservative. In the past
six years Kansas has paid SO, 600, coo
on mortgages, $50, 600, coo of which was
on the western part of the state, and
825, 900, 900 was taken by parties in the
state, showing that they have some
money and believe in their state"

The Ruling Power.

The changes wrought in the distribution
of president making strength by the adop-
ton of such plan would be enormous. For
instance, at the present time it requires the
votes of the 2 states having the greatest
number of electors to make a majority of
the electoral college. These are, in order
New York, Pennsylvania. Illinois, Ohio,
Missouri, Indiana, Massachusetts,, Texas,
Michigan, Iowa, Kentucky and Georgia !;
total number of electors, 23O.
Under the other plan eight states could
by voting together elect president. They
are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio, Missouri, Indiana and Texas; total
number of electoral votes, 227.
Considering the matter geographically,
it is curious to note that under the suggest
ed plan nine northern states by voting to-
gether could control the presidency. They
are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, with an aggregate of 230 cleo
toral votes. If this plan were adopted the
seat of empire politically would lie between
the Hudson, the Ohio and the Missouri
rivers, with state to spare. New Eng
land the south and tho west might COM
bine their votes and still be in the minority.
If such a plan were adopted the section
of country which we used to call 1.-THE solid
SOUTH would be reduced from 50 votes
to 1913, while the seven great states of the
northwest-Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Hi
nOis, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
WOuld gain from 10 to 14S. In other
words, the seven chief northwestern states
would pass in the race for political power
the entire south, the border states included,
and with is votes to spare.

claims of England constituted an usur-
pation. Moreover we were not willing
to admit that every question OF foreign
boundary by its nature and In eVel y
case, would come under the Jur- Sulc-
ton of the wise Monroe doctrine, nor
that the refusal of England to submit
all of its case to arbitration could be
considered as an attempt against Ven
ezuela, in view of the fact that Mexico
has declared, on more than one occas-
ion, that it would not admit arbitration
ir the matter OF territorial rights, when
in its opinion national honor was lnvolv-
ed. This government therefore alb
stained from making any statement
whatever that might hurt the
interests or wound the delicate feelings
of three friendly nations: but limited
itself to saying, in general, that it was
partisan of the Monroe doctrine, prop
erly understood: but that 1t was lguOr-
ant if that doctrine could be applied to
the concrete case under consideration
SUPPORTS THE MONROE DOCTR- Ne
THE crisis being passed, and pacific
negotiations in Washington having
been agreed upon between Venezuela
and its powerful adversary, | believed
it opportune to give to the world the
opinion of this government respecting
the Monroe doctrine Q In my mes ge
on the 1st of April. 1896, [ stated to
congress that the Mexican people who
b ad struggled heroically to shake off
the yoke of a foreign Invasion and OF an
exotic empire, and who had shed freely
their blood to esta blish and preserve
their autonomy, and their democratic
and republican form of government,
could not do less than declare them
selves partisans Of doctrine which
condemned as threat any invasion Of
.EIra
publics of America.
DOCTRINES OF ALL THE AMER CAS-
But, at the same time, [ believe it
my duty to declare that this govern
ment id not consider it sufficient for
the desired object that only upon the
United States-nOtwlths standing their
immense resources-should fill the
obligation to aid the other republics
of this hemisphere in case of attacks
from Europe, but that this government
judged that each one of the American
governments, by means of express
declarations, ought to proclaim that
any action of any foreign putentate
whatsoever, having for its object the
requirement of territory, or to change
the institutions of single one OF the
American republics, should be con-
sidered by each nation as personal
affrOnt if the country sustaining an
attack OF this nature should appeal Tor
aid. This declaration has been favor
ably received throughout the hemi-
sphere, and in general it may be said
that, under these conditions, the Mon
roe doctrine will come to be the Amer
lean doctrine in the most comprehen-
sive sense: and although it was con-
ceived and first formulated in the
United States, it will henceforth sus-
tain the international rights of all the
Americas" PORFIRIO DIAZ.
