FanaticaI Kansas.
From the Breeders Gazette.

From the Breeders Gazette.
Kansas admits having within its
borders S12 dependent people living
upon public charity. However, one
fourth of the counties of Kansas have
no paupers at all. There are 81
counties In Kansas that lack poor
farms and eight more with poor farms,
but lacking inmates. Now is hat not
quite a good answer to those who look
upon Kansas with plying smiles?
Among the reasons for the lack Of
extreme poverty in Kansas are the
high general level Of intelligence, the
good schools, the prevalence Of profit
able employment and the absence OF
the saloon in rural villages. We have
heard Kansas termed "fanatical." Let
us all pray for a speedy spread Of the
sort OF fanaticism that makes tenant

Senator william e. Borah. OF Idaho
took the first step yesterday in the Sen.

on Foreign Relations on the consideration
|of the Colombian treaty and the pro-
posed Nicaragua treaty. He offered q
resolution that the proceedings Of the

the debate in the Senate. There was q
short and crisp debate, after which the
resolution went over until today.

down BY the rule OF the secret session, .
said the Senator. 'srhet facts have

concerned. feel that II is essentially of
public concern. believe that II dis
cussed In the open, this treaty with
Nicaragua would die, as II ought to
die. I believe II is based upon deception
and Misrepresentation. on fraud. tyranny
and corruption, and ! am prepared to
prove 1t. I regard the treaty as 80
important and fundamental to the people
Of this country that II cannot get the
consent OF the senate to place before

possession. I, shah feel constrained to
disregard some OF the rules of the Sem

made against the Secretary Of State and
other officers connected with that de-
partment. and the only way TO deal with
these charges is by pitiless publicity.

our minds very seriously and forcibly at

is that we have no certain tenure Of

the act of March 4 1878, has greatly cur
