The Shah Of Persia.

The Shah of Persia, the "King oi
Kings" and we know not what else
besides, has visited Europe and gone
back to the Orient. He has been pro-
cessioned, and feted, and toadied to
generally, by high and low, in way
that we thought Americans only were
capable of. Kings and queens have
delighted to do him honor, and the
common people have stared at him with
open-mouthed wonder.
Not that only the cold meats remain of
the feasts and the ewax-tapers have burned
low, and the distinguished stranger has
taken his departure, with his numerous
retinue, and is fairly out of hearing,
we begin to find what manner of man
he is. 1t seems strange, knowing so
we'll from the tales of travellers what his
nation is like, that there should have
been any doubt or ignorance about the
matter. We are told that he is gross
in appearance and boorish in manners
in brief, the representative ruler of a
barbarous nation, which arro2ates to
itself all the wisdom and refinement
and religion of the world, and looks
with contempt and hatred upon all out
siders.
Still, we hope that the Shah's Western
tour may not be unproductive of good
results to himself, and through him to
his people. Having seen Western civil
ization in its full tide, he may be emu
lous of introducing some of its material
advantages at least into his own country,
and from them may spring spirit Of
liberation which is now nowhere found
in Mohammedan countries. The rail-
road which is to connect Ell Medina with
Mecca will do much toward breaking
down the barriers of Orientalism, and
it may yet be found, not only in Persia,
but in every portion of the world, that
the iron track will become the literal
representative of the bonds of fraternity.

THE kAw LAND ADVERTISEMENT
Rock Creek Heard From

EDITOR NEWS: On the evening" of
the 21st inst, the citizens of this Wei
nifty came together at the stone school
house district 33, Lyon and Morris
counties, Kansas, to discuss the sub
ject of the late appraisement of the
Kaw Trust lands.
Willard Titus was called TO the chair
and f. d. Bu1en chosen secretary.
After considerable discussion, in
which our agrievances were pretty
fully set forth, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the citizens re-
siding upon the Kaw Trust lands, con-
slider the present appraisement OF said
lands an outrage upoR the claimants,
placing the lands, as it does, beyond
| the power of eight-tenths of the set
tiers to pay for IT,, and destructive of
the best interests of the whole COM
munity.
ReSolred, That whereas, said lands
were put upon the market three diff
ferent times, subject to purchase by
settlers and spectators and, whereas,
all the best lands were then taken OF
from oV CTS. " f1-to per dcte anu;
whereas, said purchase was mostly
paid with scrip, that was bought in al
from 20 to 80 cts. on tile dollar; and,
whereas, we, the settlers, went on t.
said lands in good faith, believing thai
we would get our land at a price not
above the original appralsement.
| Resolred, That we consider the ap.
praisement of Mahlon Stubs, one o.
the appraisers, fragrant violation Of
the Law authorizing the appraisement
because said Stubbs is agent of tbs
kaw Indians, and consequently more
interested In high appraisement
than any other citizen of the UniteC
States.
ResolUed, That the Indians being tn,
wards OF the Government. they shouis
be supported by the Government

their consent to close their stores ut a

is really no need of keeping open the

Enron NEWS: Now that the ''dear
people, have had their say on the bond
proposition so kindly submitted to
them for their adoption or rejection,
all is quiet in this section. II is claim
ed by those who favored the PROPOSE
ton that illegal voting OccasiOned the
defeat of their pet scheme. know
of no other place illegal voting was
done except in the city Of Emporia,
and so fully are they convinced of the
above fact that they dare not entertain
the idea for moment of n contest OF
the election, The whole sy stem of
bond voting is curse to any country,
look ut it in any light you may. FL
naucially this country is in very close
quarters, and 1t is the earnest desire
OF the farming community that we see
our way little more clearly before
we shoulder another batch of bonds,
thereby leaving to our children and
those who come after us burden that
will be a curse to them and stain on
our memories for all time to come.
Now, look the facts squarely, cam
didly and honestly in the face, how
many farmers have we among us who
enjoy the luxurios of life: And on
the other hand, how innumerable are
the farmers who barely procure the
actual necessities of life by daily and
weekly round of incessant toll. 1t did
my heart good to see the unanimity of
action and hear what hearty responses
were given to the putting of any ones
ton in our county convention held in
your city on Saturday last. The move
ment is one of great importance to the
producer, and hope to see the var
ious organizations so thoroughly per-
fected and acting with such perfect
| unity that great and lasting good may
be the result of their deliberations
hspe that no action may be taken that
carries on its face the least semhlanee
of injustice to any person, corporation
or monopoly. Let us deal justly and
honestly by all, and We cannot help
but command the respect of all candid
and fair thinking men in the country.
We must drop all personal prejudice,
lay aside all feelings of jealousy, and
act with an eye single to our own in
terest and the best interests of our
county. We have a great and good
work before uS, and it seems that the
time has now come to begin that work,
and we seem to be tie particular por-
ton of this great people whose duty it
is to accomplish that great work. To
attempt to even guess at the extent OF
the undertaking would be iruitless

TO their children, whom they have so
little of their society? How can men
keep themselves even tolerably in
formed, who are confined to business
from halt-past six or seven a. m, until
ten u. m? To say nothing of being
deprived of domestic comfort, it is
simply barbarous TO keep men so en-
gagged, and that, too, without any need
Of the sacrifice. The reformation of
the bad old system of long hours OF
business, has been accomplished in all
large cities, years ago, in the Old as
