It Is largely the money ofwntfoouinurs ,
trust funclti of L'stalos anil tbo small no-
cumulations of thrifty tradesmen. For
years the effort has bcon tooducito the
eastern public to believe that western
securities offered safe investments anil
largo returns. At last the fabric of con-
lldenco has boon woven , but how is it
alli-ctod by the fatuous policy of thu
western political boomers now at the
national capital ?
The first inevitable effect of the cal
amity policy is to shatter confidence in
Kansas investments , The no\t losult ,
if tlio repudiation of mortgage debts is
continued , must bo the failure of loan
companies , which has already begun.
Tills will carry distress to thousands of
humble investors , whoso small capital is
as precious to thorn as the homestead on
the prairie to the Kansas settlor. If
Mississippi has not yet boon forgiven
for the lopuUlntion , many years ago , of
state bonds hold by foreign capitalists ,
how long will it bo before Kansas is for
given for betiaying the confidence re-
po-ed in her hj the middle class.es of
New Kiiglaud and the ist ?
It is deplorable that tlioso things
should bo true of any pTirt of the west ,
but the country should not fail to under
stand that they aio noltruoof Nebraska.
No inlluontial body of men in this state
ib advocating any form of lopudiation ,
Such laws have not been passed by our
legislature , and it has adopted a joint
resolution pledglner tlio public that
nothing of the kind shall bo passed. Wo
have had a touch of the drouth and con
sequent destitution , but the btuto and
the counties are meeting all demands
from that boiueo. We have the alliance
in polities , but It is not of that insane
-.tripo which i stabbing Kansas to the

WU.I , XOTTAKRTltK INITIATIVE.
Senator Sherman is authority for the
statement that there will bo no action by
this congicss looking to negotiations for
commoiciul reciprocity with Canada
The reason assigned is , that on account
of tlio large amount of business congress
should disproof , it will not bo possible
to ( wine consideration of the pending
resolution giving authority to the jire i-
dent to appoint commissioners to nego
tiate a now trade ticatj with the domin
ion government , in the event of that
government lignif.ving a wish to enter
into such negotiation. Hut this is not
the only roiMii ; for letting the matter go
by , there being , as Sjimtor Sherman
states , a fooling in both houses that any
action on the p.irtof congress , in view of
the impending election in Canada ,
might bo misunderstood as an effort to
interfere with or inlluonco the action of
the people of that country. The mis
take of the gentleman who bus been most
active in advocating the cause of recip
rocity between the two countries , and
who iloodod congiess with petitions in
fn\m nf t.hn ivismifn nf U'hrit is Iviiou'n im
the llitt resolution , was in urging that
the adoption of that piopoaition would
} > o an important help to tlio Canadian
libeials. Such might bo thocaso , though
it is by no moans certain. It is quite
possible that it might have tlio opposite
ollect. Hut at any rate it is the policy
of the United States not to interfere
with or attempt to influence the politics
of another country , and while it would
unquestionably bo a proper and legiti
mate pioccoding for tlio congress to de
clare the willingness of the government
to diuss the question of closer com
mercial relations with Canada. Ills per
haps wio not to take any action that
might be construed as intended to cxort
an influence at this time upon the
public opinion of that country. There is
no urgent reason why the United States
snould take the iniativo in this matter ,
and If the dominion government shall at
any time , after the election which takes
place this week , indicate a desire to
open negotiations , with the approval of
the British government , there is noth
ing in the way of tlio government of the
United States entertaining a proposal.
Meantime it is interesting to note that
as the campaign nears the close tlio con-
beivutivo party is reported to bo losing
confidence. Its leaders are fighting
hnrd , appealing to the loyalty of the people -
plo and keeping the bugbear of atmoxv
tion prominent in their discussions hut
it does not appear that they arc gaining
ground , oven if they are not losing. TIIO

Before the echoes of the Galvuslon
convention have died away , Kansas people
ple have sot up a cry for another com
mercial coiigresi of western states ,
which it ia proposed to hold at Kansas
City.
Senator IT. B. Kelly of Kansas , who Is
the father of the idea , explains the pur-
pOsOf. of the gathering in a recent inter
view. Ho says it is neoJuil in order to
give the vvoit an opportunity for an op
pression of its requirements regardinir
national legislation. He think * that for
the past twenty live years congress has
been legislating in the interest of the
manufacturing east and against tlio
agricultural west , and that the tinu hius
eomo to domind "a fair doil in the OK-
elmngoof the products of the soil and
the products of the shop , " IIo would
have the proposed commercial congress
demand swooping changes in the
economic policy of the country , with 10-
gurd both to ttirill and currency , and
also give voice to vigorous opinions on
questions of transportation , trusts and
irrigation "in fact , all questions af
fecting the material interests of the
west and southwest. "
Tlio idea contains attractive features ,
but there arc obstacles in the way of its
success. Tlio tariff and the currency
are political questions , and a convention
compos ! of delegates appointed by the
governors of Iho soveial slates would bo
likely to have an interesting time in
discussing them. The results of such a
convention could hardly bj sent forth as
the voice of the \vost. \ They would bj
largely the voicoof the faction that hap
pened to have the louilost lungs and the
most votes in the convention. The simo
comment would be true of ether sub
jects which it is proposed to discuss in
the congress.
The west has need of national legisla
tion to assist in the development of its
resources. It can only hope to obtain it
by united action , bat any convention
called for the purpose should rigidly exclude -
cludo all purely politic il quosUons if it
would avoid being wruukod on the rock
of party portion and prejudice.
AccouniNcs to the attorney general
of North D.ilcotn , the charter of the
Northern Pacific railroad is in the
untiltu of ncontiaut between the govern
ment und the comj ) my , and that the
piopoity of the company cannot bo taxed
by the btato. The attorney general
virtually holds that because the rail
road company agreed to transport gov
ernment stoics , tmops , etc. , and to in.iin-
tiiin a post toute , the right of way , load-
bed and buildings are subject to fodei.il
jurisdiction only , and cannot bo taxed
by the stnto without violating the pro
visions of the federal constitution which
piohibita states fiom impairing the obli
gations of a contract. Kvory land grant
railroad churtorcoiit'iins provisions LUII-
cerning trnnspottatloii of government
supplies , tioops and mails , but even
where this is performed wholly or in
mrt without oomnonsition the riirht of
wu < uid land grant subsidy more than
olTsetssiieh service. In no instance 1ms
the government , in spirit or in letter ,
prohibited states from exorcising their
legitimate right to IIIK the proixn-ty of
federal corporations , and Iho assump
tion that they mo not subject to the lov-
oimo laws that apply to private proparty
is not likely to receive burious consider
ation ia the courts. The attorney gen
eral of North Dakota may not bo on the
pi } ' roll of the Northern I'.icitic , but his
romaikuhlo opinion subjects him to
grave suspicion.
