REAR ADMIRAL SCHLEY IS DEAD Dropped Dead on Street in New York While on the Way Cown Town. New York, N. Y.

I of as is he cf cf A the the shrewdness, a tenacious purpose, and a clear line cf progress that has never been excelled so far as I know of in this country's history or any other. Eli Thayer, Charles Robinson and Amos Lawrence, all of Massachusetts, were the triumvirate who defeated the purposes of the pro-slavery men in the Kansas-Nebraska bill and the repeal of the Missouri compromise and made Kansas a free state.

They conceived the idea that they would jromote immigration into Kansa3 from the Northern states of men having no sympathy with slavery, under the auspices of the Emigrant Aid society, and that they would increase the anti-slavery element in Kansas to such a point that they must make her free. The violence with which their efforts were obstructed, the desperate methods resorted to by the Missouri cabal that sought to prevent this emigration and the bloody lawlessness that prevailed for a full five years in Kansas present a picture that finds no counter part anywhere else in the settlement of this country. "Finally, the Lecompton constitution was adopted, known as such because adopted at Lecompton, ia which the issue of slavery or non-slavery was left to the voters, and was overwhelmingly defeated. Robinson, at the head of the free state movement, exhibited a wonderful shrewdness and nerve in k'eeping together the naturally warring eletnents that were in favor of a free state. "Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state with Charles Robinson elected her governor on the 2Sth of January, 1S61; and her history from the time of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill in 1854 until that time was one of political chicanery, bloody violence, domestic turmoil and popular suffering.

The only thread of high and consistent purpose that can be traced through it3 history is that of Robinson and his associates in maintaining the fight for the free state with as much suppression of violence on the part of their partisans as they could effect, and with a constant and renewed stirring appeals to their supporters and sympathizers of the North, based upon the outrages of the pro-slavery partisans as they were committed. These appeals brought the immigrants and secured the funds by which their purpose was accomplished and their cause made triumphant. "No sooner did Kansas become a state than they -were plunged with the rest of the nation into a civil war. Kansas furnished a larger quota, considering her population, for Northern army than any state of the Union. At one time the governor wrote to the president that more than half of all the youths and men of the state between 18 and 65 years of age were in.

the army. "The civil war extended the time during which Kansas was being born, from half a decade to a whole decade. During this time it was impossible for agriculture to prosper for enterprise to be encouraged, for the population to grow. Not until 1866 when the railroads began to be built did the prosperity which is now in evidence first showed itself. From 1S64 to 1870, and later, of the 1S74 to 1S78 Indian hostilities brought about a loss of at least 1,000 Kansans.

In 1S74 came the invasion of locusts; and then in the half decade, between 1SS8 and 1S92, there was a serious decline in the population a loss of nearly The progress of the state was seriously checked. The cause 'was to be found chiefly in the collapse of building and loan speculations, in which there had been a vast waste of money. Fifteen years of unbroken prosperity had led to a reckless exploiting of towns in eastern Kansas, and there was a carnival issue of bonds and contracting of sorts of liabilities. More than this western Kansas suffered from the failure of the annual rain fall. Many emigrants had been lured into the semi-arid region, towns were built up," but with the recurring draughts, the struggling settlers found starvation facing them; they deserted their houses and their towns, and western Kansas became again a wide, unpopulated expanse.

"Since that time the scientific knowledge of agriculture has increased to such a point that the dry farming of the semi-aria land of this state is one of its great achievements, and today we have Kansas prosperous. "The trials through which the state has come have undoubtedly given a character to its inhabitants. They are bold and original in thought, courageous in execution. One may differ with them in their conclusions either upon politics or upon other topics, but he must respect the sincerity and the energy, independence and courage with which they support their conclusions and carry 'them to their logical result. It was to be expected that people of the enterprise and intelligence and experience and trials and sufferings that the Kansas people had could give early attention to the spread ot intelligence and to the education of their children.

I cannot stop to dwell upon the attention given in this state to the establishment of schools, the foundation of colleges and the maintenance of the university. It is sufficient to say that it accords with what might be expected from a people with such a history." What Fear Did.

A GREAT THRONG WAS PRESENT Paid a Touching Tribute to the Late Madison Discussed Men and Times From 1823 to the Present Time. Hutchison, Kan. President Taft was the orator of the day today at the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Kansas as a state.

He spoke at the fair grounds and was heard by a great throng. The president's address was in part as follows: "We meet today to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the state of Kansas. I was invited to attend by your honored townsmen and distinguished representative in congress, Judge E. H. Madison.

He has been suddenly torn from us. His death was a great shock to me, as I doubt not it as to his fellow citizens. I had not known him long nor can I say that I knew him intimately, but I knew him well enough to know the strong qualities cf his mind and heart, his judicial instinct, his intense desire to be fair, and his clear perceptions cf the law as a jurist, and his level headedness as a legislator. I remember a speech which he made in congress on the subject of excepting from the application of an appropriation lawless combinations of work-ingmen, which was at the same time a noble, clear exposition of the necessity for making all persons equal before the law and an exhibition of courage and indifference to consequences in the support of a righteous judgment. His speech marked him as one of the coming men of congress.

He took great interest in this celebration. He came to see me often about it and discussed it in detail. I extend to his family and to his friends my profound sympathy in their deep sorrow and hope that the memory of his high standing among his fellow citizens and the value of the services that he rendered to them may in time mitigate the blow whic3 has fallen upon them. "Kansas as a state was the child of an issue. The pains of labor lasted more than half a decadv, and a full understanding of her origin and her growth needs a review and a study of the history cf this nation since its foundation.

The issue which gave birth to Kansas was that of slavery. Fate and the exigencies of politics brought about a condition that centered the conflict between those who wished to maintain slavery and extend it, and those who wished to strike it down within a radius of a hundred miles in the devoted bosom of that country which has since become the state of Kansas. "In the controversies over slavery that occupied early in the nineteenth century, there were compromises that were more easily made than later, because the feeling did not then run so high. In 1S20 Missouri was admitted to the union as a slave state with the provision that no territory thereafter should be admitted as a slave state to the north and southern boundary of Missouri, 35 degrees and 30 minutes. It was hoped by all who joined in that compromise, and by those who came after for the next 30 years, that this offered a resolution for the question that made it possible for the North and South to live together in amity." The president related circumstances of the passage cf the compromise bill of 1S50 and of the Kansas-Nebraska bill four years later despite the determined opposition of Northern senators.

He continued: "It is not too much to say that the Kansas-Nebraska bill, with its squatter soveriegnitv, was a shifting and shifty with the Southern de mand for an extension of slave territory, and it may be questioned whether it was not more to be deplored indeed, as the result was, than if a concession had been a clean declaration in fivor of slavery in the act of congress admitting it. It shifted the responsibility from the body of lawmakers in Washington, upon whom it properly rested, to the poor people whom a new country to attract and who would pay with their blood and suffering for tho privilege of deciding that which some one else ought to have decided. "The slave state of Missouri lay Immediately east of Kansas, and from that state it was easy to secure a large force of pro-slavery sympathizers who would invade Kansas temporarily either for the purpose of fraudulent voting as residents of the territory, or for the purpose of main- taining with deadly weapons the pro- slavery side of the battles which ensued. This proximity of Missouri, and the natural emigration that wot-tld follow the opening of a new state like Kansas from its immediate neighbor on the East, was most discouraging to those in the North who were zealous in opposition to slavery and hopeful of making Kansas a free state.
