A COMPLAINT FROM A KAKSAN,
Who Eaja Another Westerner Maligned the
State and People.
15F0EMATI0N SOUGHT AKD GIVEN
To the Editor ot The Dispatch:
A friend has sent me a copy of The Dis
Patcu of September 21, in which I have
read an interview on Kansas that amazed
me. It Is a tissue of falsehoods from be
ginning to end. There is just enough truth
here and there to give, I suppose, people
who are acquainted with these facts the idea
that there is a great deal of truth In it all
through.
Now in the rst place, Kansas is not in a
period of decline, and in the next place, it
has never had ereatcr promises for the
future, in my judgment and in the judg
ment of its people, than it has to day.
Furthermore, I do not believe there has
ever been a year in the history of the State
when they had as much population as they
have to-iay. I notice this man says: "It
is safe to say that at least 200,000 peo
ple have left Kansas forever in the
list throe years or less." Then he says, "The
late census gives this State an increase ot over
500,000." Now take tho facts. The United
(states census for 16S0 gives this Stato 9y6,000.
The State census of 18S7 gives the population
as 1,514.578. In ISiS our population according
to the .State census, was 1.51S.532. I have not
by me the statement for 1SS9, hut the United
States census taken in June of this year, which
is of course pretty late authority aud which is
reliable if anvthing upon the subject is. gives
us 1,6S0,0U0. 'Sow these are official figures;
hence, where is tho decrease that this man
talks about? Again I believe that in the year
IKK) Kansas has not oniy more people than she
lias ever had m any year of her history, but she
has moie acres under cultivation. She has
more manufactories of all the various kinds.
She has more horses, more cattle, more hogs
and greater wealth than she has ever had in
any previous j ear in her history.
THE FACTS ABOUT TOPEKA.
He sas that Topeka has at present over 2,000
vacant houses. Of course I have never gone
over the city, but 1 do not believe there are 500.
and I am very sure that there are not 25 vacant
Etorc rooms, and there are not 10 vacant store
rooms on tho main street, and those that are
vacant are the least desirable; a creat many of
ihem old houses. But I have had a good many
of my Eastern friends hero lately, aud not one
of tbem but what have expressed surprise at
the appearance of the city at seeing so much
activity in a business way; in fact 1 do not be
lieve, unless jour attentiou nas called to it,
that it you should go through the city just as
you would through any ouer city jou would
notice the vacant houses as being a special
feature at all. I notice he says in
another place that weeds have grown
tall in cellars which have been completed for
new houses and abandoned, and he says that
weeds have grown in the sticets of Topeka.
So- that has just tins truth in it. We have an
electric raiiwav in the city of Topeka. The
street is over SO feet wide lrom curb to curb.
The stiect is paved with asphalt on either sido
of the two tracks or railway. It is a delightful
drive of about 25 feet on eact. ude. The place
bet een the tracks is paved with stone, and of
etiuroa rough and unpleasant to drive upon.
The cars arc ruu bv electricity and in cocse-
queuce don't use the pavement and there are
here and there a few blade? ot grass seen be
tween the tracks, smiplj became there is an
abundance of good streets for drt vng on cither
side, and the trace of the railroad is not used
for driving.
Sow then it is true that we havn bad hard
times in this Statu for the las; two or three
years. The pnucinal caus- of that was thj
i.ict that durum 1SS7 anu 1&& there was over
4 000milcsofraiiroadbu.lt in tin-, State, and
that causca a sort of bpecuiatiou which not
not onl extended through the cities and towns
rf the State, but enlisted the attention of a
great many tanners, and a great many people-over-reached
themselvc-. but there are people
everywhere who resisted this temptation and
made money, aud the fact is to-day more mort
gages are being paid off in the State of Kansas
than ever before in her Instorj. It is estimated,
and I helievc it is true, that the State will have
S10,OOO.OOD less indebtedness on January 1. 1S9L
than it had on January 1. 1S90. The people of
the State are not discouraged, although many
of them arc nard up. The rcople of ihe Slate
are, a great many of them, prosperous. It is
true th.it in the west end ot the State they have
raised very poor crops this past year; rather in
the northwest. The west has raised consider
able wheat, but tile northwest had almost a
failure throughout.
l'UOTECTlON AXD rKOHIBITIOS'.
Of course you probably wonder at tho animus
of all such articles, but you must reflect, what
ever may be your opinions upon the subject,
that the matter of prohibition in this State has
excited against Kansas the enmity of cverv
lnm engaged in the manufacturing, importing
or selling oi intoxicating liquors throughout
the United States, and a great many of those
who drink as well; certainly all those who arc
In any way dependeut upon the other class, and
throughout ihe East theie are a great many

The Demands of Ireland.
To the Editor or The Dispatch:
Will you kindly let me know what rights tbo
people of Ireland are clamoring for, and how
and when they lost these rights, or whether
there realh is any merit to their claims. Oris
it that they are just a discontented, complain
ing people? Constant Reader.
Lock 8, Putnam county, W. Va-, October7.
You virtually ask us to give a history of
"Ireland, and as it would take several entire
cumbers of The Dispatch to do so, we must
decline. The Irish are not, and never have
boon, satisfied with British rule and their
clamor is for local self government. Only the
most rabid of English Tories, we think, would
dispute the assertion that there is a great deal
of justice in their claims. As it is now the con
duct of the public affairs of the country is
largely in the bands of strangers, tbo local
magistrates having but limited authority,
Ke is Correct.

nounce "quay" as "ke." Please answer.

Superiority of tlio American Armor Plate
To the Editor of the Ulspatch.
From a careful analysis of the tests mado
with armor plate and shells during the past
year, both foreign and domestic, and from the
reports made by the London engineers' official
reports from our own naval officers, and per
sonal correspondence from high authority in
Washington, I am forced to the conclusion
that America is the father of the most invul
nerable armor plate yet produced in the world.
The writer has personal knowledge of a
small armor plate, manufactured by Carnegie,
Phipps & Co. at their Homestead works, aud
afterward treated in a chemical bath at the
navy yard in Washington, under the personal
supervision of a board ot officials appointed by
the Secretary of the Navy, composed of Cap
tain William Folger, "who formulated the
tests," and Lieutenants Badger, Nicholson and
Ackerman. This plate, although but30 inches
square and six incbes thick, weighing
about 1,500 pounds, proved infinitely
superior to the Cammell compound
plate, 9Cx42xl0 inches, weighing about
21,800 pounds as a resisting foice. This, how
ever, can be verified by reference to an official
report, published in thv Iron Age of January
18, 1S8J. and now that the forelcn armor plates
have proved so utterly worthless, will doubt
less be looked more carefully into. It appears
that we have been looking too much abroad for
armor and depending on foreign skill for that
inventive genius wo are better qualified to pro
vide at home. Notonlvare, we the inventors
of navigation by steam, the rotary printing
press, the lightning sewing machine, the reap
ing machine, and a dozen other inventions that
have hastened the civilizition of the human
race, but we stand the peers of the world in
electrical science. And now that we have de
monstrated to a gazing universe the supremacy
of our euns, w by not carry out tho idea on a
larger scale than a 30x30x6 inch state, and bid
defiance to the world to produce a shot or a
shell that will penetrate such a plate as the one
to which wo refer.
Yet,further, while such a plate manufact
ured by Messrs. Carnegie. Phipps fc Co., Is
invulnerable to any foreign projectile, will not
a shell made after tho same process penetrate
any armor plate known to theworldf IspeaK
affirmatively, and did space in your valuable
columns permit, could demonstrate from both
a practical and scientific point of view, all I
say.
England, with her long naval experience;
France, with her military glory; Germany,
with her pride of success, and Russia with ber
unholy and insatiate avarice, may doubt our
ability; but in the near future, as surely as
light succeeds darkness, will this country be
the peer of nations as a naval power, while the
old folks of the Old World will be assiduously
knocking at the door of their child for the
secrets of her unparallelled success.

Tho Bird Crank.
To the Editor of The Ulspatch:
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."
The above quotation is used because it is not
prudent for many when afflicted with what the
literary fraternity term the cacoethes scribendl.
or itch for writing, to appear in cold type. But
a writer in last Sunday's DisrATCH having
given to the world at large, and Pittsburg in
particular, the fact that the writer is a bird
crank, it is eminently proper that ho should de
fend the craft. The catalogue of the genus
crank is a long one; too long to bo dealt with in
a single letter, but it Is sale to assert just here
that the majority of cranks base their claims
to "crankship" on very slender grounds, while
the standard of the bird crank is planted on a
solid foundation, and the following may show
the why and wherelore:
A good and wise Providence, in ber mysteri
ous handiwork, has given us birds, the most
harmless and most beantifui of the animal
kingdom. They charm us with their beauty
and delight us with their melody, tending to
make our homes happy and cheerful. Should
it not, therefore.be the duty of all to foster and
protect these useful creatures? The birds that
visit us yearly are but our guests, so to speak.
Should it not, therefore, be the duty of all to
act the part of the good host, extending to
them a hearty welcome and encouraging them
to repeat their visitsT It may bo urged against
tho bird crank that he does not practice as be
preaches and will capture and confine any bird
ho can, but this is not the case. The bird crank,
pure and simple, will not trap a bird unless be
can provide for it a suitable home, furnish it
with food that nature has ordained it should
have, and attend to it in all sickness. The bird
crank, pur- and simple, looks with horror on
tn wanton destruction of birds that brutal
murder. evn though it may furnish plumes to
adorn the beads of our wives andsisters.The bird
crank finds real pleasure among his friends.
The miser, the most miserable of cranks, may
gloat over his gold, but he is not happy; an
insane greed for money has deadened his
senses. It would be uette.- for him were be a
bird crank, wedded to poverty, for then he
would find that pleasure among the feathery
tribe for these reasons the writer may be con
sidered a bird crank, and if ostracised by
others he can seek consolation among his fel
low cranks, birds of the same feather, and
failing in this he can, to quote from Lord Dun
dreary, "flock by himself in a corner."
The correspondent of the Dispatch hag. In
bis letter, made special mention of ornamental
pheasants. If it will interest the readers of
The DihPATCH the writer will be pleased to
state all.be knows about tbem and as the in
formation is or a practical nature derived from
experience it may be of service to those outside
oi "crankdom" who may contemplate keeping
oriraising these beautiful birds. Geobgitjs.

To tho Editor or The Ulspatch:
In reading the various notices of the recep
tion and courtesies to be'paid tbo visiting en
gineers one Would suppose they were all
Englishmen, as scarce any mention is made of
the two hundred scientists who compose the
German "vcrein." This is, 'to say the least,
singular in a city where the oldest iron workers
were Pennsylvania Germans, snch as the
Shorts, Sboenbergers, Zugs, Painters, Anshuts
and' Rabms. Although the Germans, unlike
the Americans, are fine linguists, it would be
only oolite to recognize then and their lan
guage in the courtesies extended to tno two
socities. I think if the American society vis
ited Germany they would find some few Ger
mau engineers who could welcome them in
good English. AN AMERICAN.
