KANSAS BEATS THEM ALL.
BY F. D. COBURN.

There were no white inhabitants in Kansas
in 1850; in 1856 there were less ttau 10000,
and in 1860 but 10Y 900. The eleventh CEN
sus showed that the entire United States, in
1890, produced about 2,5oo, 900, 900 bushels of
corn; in the preceding year, Kansas alone pro-
duced more than one-eghth as much. In 1892,
the United States raised SIC, 900, 900 bushels of
wheat, about one-seventh of which grew in
Kansas. Last year alone she raised more
wheat than all New England, New York, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Georgia com.
bined. She has mile of railroad for each $50
of her inhabitants, as against one mile to each
700 people in the eight North Atlantic states.
The census shows that nearly 70 per cent of her
farms are owned by those who cultivate them,
and only about one-thrd are worked by renters.
AS compared with hardships which the brush.
cleaning, tree-felling, stump-pulling, swamp
dredging farmer who pioneered in Ohio, Indi-
ana and the Middle states experienced, tine Kan
sas farmers life to-day is lived in Aowery beds
of ease.
The wealth of New York state increased IS
per cent from 1880 to 1890; in the same time
the wealth of the whole country increased 50
per cent. The wealth of the North Atlantic
division of states, from Maine to Pennsylvania,
inclusive, increased 22 per cent, while the
wealth of the North Central division, from Ohio
to Kansas, increased 56per cent, and the wealth
of Kansas increased 1877 per cent. The total
increase of the wealth of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and New Jersey combined was
1884, ,ooo, 900. In Kansas, in the same period, it
was 5000, 900, 900. In wealth per capita, the
North Atlantic states Increased $23; the South
Atlantic, 84; the North Central, $197; the South
Central 149, and the increase of wealth in Kan
sas per capita was $498.

lation in 1900 is more than thirteen times as
large as the population given for 1860, the first
year in which its population is given in the
census report. The total land surface is, ap-
proxmately, $1,000 square miles, tie average

The lowest point is Kansas City-7oo feet.
According to a report made by Thomas S.

1874, the center OF the state of Kansas is in
Rice county; to be explicit, the corner of sec

ENESIS OF KANSAS
COMPILED BY II. c. PARK.

of the West"
D.lvers into the classics have discovered that
the word Kansas means "People of the South

The men who punched cows" over the old
state was desert say. IN those days kansas"
signi6ed "The Fertile Plaius," and "Arkan

Konzas, Kanzans, Kansaws, Kaws, Kaw, CAM
ceas, Capsez, Canzas, Cansez, Canoes, Canon,
Canaan, Acansias and Okanis.
Prior to the Sixteenth century, Kansas was
terra ,ncognito. The Spanish conquerers were
supposed to have been the first white men to
set f,ot upon its soil. For long years after the
days of the Montezumas it was known as the
Mythical Kingdom of Quivera.'
In 1903, Kansas was owned by France, and
was part OF the Louisiana purchase made by

tory. This territory was so called because it
hal been set apart by congress for the homes of
the remnants OF nearly all OF the Indian tribes
which had, in former times, possessed the en-.
tire portion of the United States north of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers, and extending from
the Hudson and Delaware on the east % the
Missouri on the west. These remnant tribes
occupied Kansas at the time it was opened for
settlement in 1854.
Kansas geographically is the central state of
the American Union,
In 1856, Charles Sumner described Kansas
as the Middle Spot of North America, equally
distant from the Atlantic on the east and the
Pacific On the west, from the frozen Hudson
bay on the north and the tepid gulf stream on
the SOutu, CONSTITUTING Tue pIeClsc tSIIitOlldi

Kansas consists of more than $4,000 900
acres of land, practically all arabic and fertile.
IL is a country sixty-oue per cent wider in ex-
tent than England, two and one-half times
greater than Ireland, nearly three times larger
than Scotland ten times greater in area than
Wales, and it is situated in the most favored
zone.
The territory of Kansas formed by an act of
congress, May 80; 1854, embraced all the lands
between the parallels of 81 degrees and 90 de-
grees, with latitude westward to the Rocky
mountains, except that part OF New Mexico
lying north of the seventh parallel,
Kansas is described as 'an uudulatng, fer
tile plain, 400 miles loug, 21o miles wide,
$4,000, 900 acres, virtually all tillable, with an
altitude OF $50 to 5000 feet, sloping upward to
the west, without mountains and without
swamps."
Kansas area is 1898 miles

of the state at the several censuses is as follows

Folk Wouldn't be Senator.

Governor Folk, of Missouri, asked it he
would accept the United States senatorship,
said he could not accept the position, because
he owes duty both to his party and to the
people to remain where he is. After the prom
ises he made in the campaign, be says he can
not consider the senatorial proposition for
moment.

ChanQed Conditions.

The Reform Club of New York wants
to educate the people so that they
will go back to the conditions of ten
years ago, when we were living un-
der free trade tariff law.
Well, let us take two or three of
those conditions and compare them
with today:
In 1894 our output of coal was 1872.
100000 tons. 1t is now 325,OOO,O0O
tons. That means 100 per cent more
work and wages, not only in mining
the coal. but in the industries using
the coal. And these industries are
now using more than double the
amount OF ten years ago, because our
mills are running full time instead of
part time or being closed altogether.
In 1894 our output OF petroleum was
2,072,GOO,O00 gallons, now it is 4,5OO.-
o0O,000 gallons. Here again is more
than double the work and wages of
ten years ago.
In 1894 our production of pig iron
was 100000 tons; last year it was
100000 tons. Here we have two
and half times as much labor and
wages as ten years ago.
We need not extend the list, II
would be innumerable. Our condi.
IONS are better by 100 or $50 per
cent than they were ten years ago.
Shall we go back to half time and no
time, to half pay and no pay?
A good disposition to make of the
,.eform Club literature when it reach
es you would be to put it under your
carpets. in the ash barrel, or to any

pressed the belief that the west and
south must have the dominant voice
in the management of the Democratic
national interests. He predicted that
within few years there will be great

Republicans will declare themselves
Democrats; that the new strength for

campaign.
There was no discussion of any
