What Has Been "Done?"

1t has been asserted that the gov
ernment has done nothing for the
farmer. j. Sterling Morton, secre-
tary of agriculture, has written book
called MESS o. Peas" to be published
by James Clement Ambrose. of Evan
ston. ILL.,, in which he shows that the
government has done little bit for
the farmer, at least During the last
thirty years it has given to farmers
between 1000, 600 and 1900, 900 farms.
averaging 80 acres each. 1t has
founded and maintained during the
last ten years agricultural colleges
and experiment stations in every
state in the Union. There are appro-
priated for experiment stations $780,
600 annually, and about 81 900. .000 is
annually taken from the United
States treasury for colleges of agri-
cultural and mechanics arts, in wiIicif
free tuition is provided for the child
rem of the people. The government
also created an executive department
for agriculture. and forgets commerce
and manufacture entirely, while it
appropriateS more than 3, 600 -010 each
year to the new department. and in
addition distributes a hundred tons
of seed annually iy.=Ex-

Speaking of standing up for Kansas.
an interesting little colloquy occurred
in the senate between Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts, and Senator PETER,
of Kansas, when the latter was doing
the standing up" act the other day.
1t occurred just after Senator PETER
had read the letter of p. /. Bone
brake, of Topeka, to the governor of
Vermont. Mr.. Hoar: Il should like
to ask the senator from Kansas. if he
will allow me, whether that state
the state is, in his judgment, sub
stantially correct?" Mr.. Peffe,: Il
think it is, sir. The writer is one of
the most careful, pains-taking citizens
we have" Mr.. Hoar: "Then it is
true, is it not, that Kansas is one of
the most remarkable examples of the
rapid and great prosperity of an agri-
cultural population that exists in
human history" Mr.. PETER: 81 have
President, and / now repeat, that to
take the people of Kansas as whole,
and the state of Kansas as state,
they have no parallel in human his
tory" Mr.. Hoar: HAS not large
part of. that prosperity, rather the
largest part, come to Kansas since the
year 1872" Mr.. PETER: Il think So;
Mr.. Hoar: "Now, / should like to
put one other question. Is it not on
the whole the part of good statesman
ship to keep on with the policy which
has produced these results of pros
perity and wealth and comfort. and
school houses and churches and rail-
roads by the ten thousand miles,
rather than to depart from it and try
a new one?' As might have been ex-
pected, Senator PETER lodged the
point and branched off into another
long-winded argument. to increase
the list of-speecheS, '.long and short, .
upon which he bases his right to be
returned to his present seat.-Mail

The Arbitration Treaty.

The provisions of the arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain are quite simple. There
is to be a special tribunal appointed
for the settlement of each and every
controversy as it may arise. When
the tribunal fails to choose an umpire
the king of Norway and Sweden is to
of the tribunal shall be final and with
out appeal, except in cases involving
national honor or territorial integ-
rity. In case anything of this kind
arises, it will be submitted to a special
tribunal of six, three from each
country, without an umpire to cast a
deciding vote. If four members of
the tribunal agree, their award shall
be final unless protested against with
in three months, and if five members
In case of tie vote there shall be no
recourse to war until the mediation
of one or more friendly powers has
been invited.
The treaty is to last five years, and
until that time neither party can
withdraw it. At the end of that
time 1t can be terminated by either
party on one years notice. OF course
the treaty continues until it is thus
terminated. Let us hope there will
be no thought of abrogating it on
either side.-Mail and Breeze.

ing winds blew full and free through
his whiskers rare.
Instead, however, of riding tri-
umphantly on the crest of the rolling
swell the senator's attenuated limbs
murky-colored soup, and gravy filled
his hirsute adornment.
If the people are behind him they
are so far in the rear that they are
not in the push.
Why is this thus, and what is the
reason of this thusness?
Senator PETER should be an ideal
Populist senator. Careful statisticians
have estimated that if his speeches
were strung out they would form an
unbroken line of words reaching from
the thunderous roll of the Atlantic
breakers to where the waves of the
Pacific lap with gentle swish-swash

Stricken India.

The extent of the famine in India
is appalling. Millions are suffering
for food, and this will continue until
the end of March. and in some local.
ties until the end of June. At the
present time there are fully 1,500, 900
on the relief list, and this number is
constantly being added to. The fam
inc will cost the Indian treasury at
least S25, 5,OOO,O
In addition to the suffering from
famine d deadly plague called the
bubonic disease is raging frightfully.
The pestilence is described as similar
to the black death, which devastated
Europe in the middle ages. 1t then
actually depopulated pirts of India,
as they bid fair to be now. 1t first
appeared in China, then spread over
India and Asia and finally crossed to
Europe, entering Italy, from which it
extended over the entire country,
finally reaching England and sweep
ing away 100000 persons in London
alone. Before it subsidized it carried
off Qne-fourth of the population of
Europe, or 25,OOO,OOO people While
the plague now affecting India is less
deadly. it has several symptoms in
common with the medi8yal Scourge.
OF course the cry of relief from the
stricken country has not gone un-
needed, and more than $50, 900, 900 will
be raised for the sufferers. The Prince
of Wales donated 1,25O and the
queen gave similar sum. but William
Waldorf Astor generously contributed

KANSAS IS ALL RIGHT.

Don't you ever fret or worry

Don't you jump up in a hurry
And begin to talk of ruin;
Mebbe we haint got much money,
Mebbe times just now tight;
But long crops are CROWN

Don't you talk about the danger
TIrat is hangin' DER the State;
For L want to tell you, stranger.
There's too much of that of late
Just you look across them prairieS,
See them steeples on the right?
Long as church bells keep on ringin
know Kansas is all right
Don't you never talk of ignorance,
Anarchy. an all such rot,
Takin' hold of Kansas people,
Maxim them an evil lot
Look again across them prairies,
There's dozen schools in sight;
Long as them are filed with young ones
know Kansas is all right.
Don't you talk about starvation,
Just go down there to that lot;
See yourself about how many
Corn led steers your neighbor's got;
Do you hear that train whistlin'?
Jones is shipping hogs tonight
Long as stock trains keep on runnin'.
know Kansas is all right.
If these things don't satisfy you,
You get up bout break of day,
Take ii look across the prIiries.
Fore lhe eastern hills are gray;
In tne humble homes of labor,
Early Lam Js are burnin' bright;
Till those lamps no more are lighted,
L know INansas is all right
