The monthly report of state treasurer Wortham for the month ending May Ist, shows a balance in the treasury of $1,192,190 02. The St. Louis Republic speaknig of Judge Burgess, instructions in the Noland case truthfully says: “It is too frequently the habit of judges in trial courts to put together their instructions more for the supreme court than for the jury. They think of themselves more than of the jury and their efforts are directed less to making the law clear to the jury than to hedging themselves so that the supreme court can find nothing at variance with legal tenchnique in their instructions. So, instead of a plain statement of consistent legal principle really instructive to the ju ry, we have a confusion out of which the jury is left to flounder its way as best it can. “The Farmers’ Alliance, of Kansas announces its intention of establish ing banks, with warehouse attach- ments, in which grain and other farm products can be stored and on which money will be loaned at a fix- ed ratio of value, thus putting the sub-treasury scheme to a practical test. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” and we are glad to see the Alliance of Kansas make a practical application of this great demand of the People’s party. If perishable products, stored in warce houses and subject to fluctuating prices in the market is a substantial basis for our monetary system, the people ought to know it. There is uo doubt but that the stoekholders in these banks would be competent witnesses to testify as to the efficacy of the plan after these institutions have run a year or so. The only thing to be regretted is that all the rampant adherents of this echeme to foot the national treasury can not have an opportunity to procure stock in the Kansas banking scheme and make the loans at 2 per cent per an- num. An exchange says: Missouri has made a still hunt in the last decade. The rapidity of its growth in popu- ation was not realized by its citizens until the census figures were pub- lished. The state remains queen of the southern group. With all the vast area of Texas and the lively ef- forts after immigration, Missouri has 450,000 more people. Texas boasts of its growth since 1860 as a phenomenon in American develop- ment. Yet Missouri has gained near- ly ag much. The increase in Texas | has been 938,000 and that of Mis-| souri, aided by no organized effort | for immigration, has been 511,000. | Missouri's increase has not all been in the cities by any means. The| most remarkable change, except the growth of Kansas City, disclosed by the census is the filling up of the southern counties. Leaving out Jack- son, almost allthe highest percent age of increase is found in the south- erm counties which have long been! regarded as backward.
