the proposed reform as a hobby TO
help themselves We were glad TO
witness, also, the absence Of any at
tempt TO run politics into the M oye-
ment. 1t will be well to have Just
enough politics in it for the pur-
poses of the reform. The reform
mnst be kept in sight, and not poll
tics. in our humble Judgment, if
success is the aim. Tie moment it
becomes political movement it
win die. But taking the sensible
course pursued at Topeka as an in
dication, there is no danger of the
Kansas farmers wrecking on the
rock politics.
And there should be no attempt
either, to make 4 factious war on
other interests, further than to bring
about the needed changes and I'M
derstandings. All our great inter-
ests should work together in har-
mony, and not. endeaYor to break
down but build up together. The
railroad interests, for instance, must
be brought within the proper limits
and utilized. not warred upon by n
furious purpose. Let them know
how far they can 90, and be in har-
mony with those that make and sus-
tain them, the people. We believe
that by n steady, determined and
unfinching course, all our great in
terests can be hsrmonized within a
few years. We are sorry there has
been growing disposition on the
part of railroads for years to ignore
every other interest. They should
be taught Immediately in the plain
est way that they cannot do this in
Kansas. They should be made to
pay their equal share of the taxes
with other property-pay squarely
and honestly for damages done to
property as other people do, and
then their fares and freights ought
10 be reduced to a reasonable rate
We do not believe in making fac
tious war upon them, because We
would not give much for Kansas
without railroads, but they must
submit to the same laws aad regula-
tions that other people do, aud be
rendered of the highest use 10 tho
! people.
| We have not time now to notice
the many features of fhe resolution:
| passed, but may do so from time to
time. We hope to see the whole
State organized and working in uni,
son TO bring about the many needed
reforms in our laws, and to break
up the many abuses that exist in the
State. To such an end we shall
lend all the aid at our command.

THE New PLAN. We have an
other article this week from "Tri-
bune" in reference to the law max
ing the presidents of our institu-
tons of learning ex-ofiicio members
of the boards of directors thereof
or rather in reply to our paragraph
crIticising his former article. After
reading this article, we are still not
convinced that the new law may
not be a good one. We can humbly
assure Tribune" that we are toler-
ably familiar with the history of one
of our institutions of learning, and
that very acquaintance has given
us most of the reasons on which we
base the opinion that the new law
may work well. We know some
thing of the "petty jealousies" the
spirit of envy" which actuate many
teachers. And we know these al
ways iniure school-retard its
progress, and prevent its usefulness
and harmony. When these are
found they should be crushed with
an iron heel, without reference TO
personal considerations. We make
the presidents of our institutions
responsible for the schools. If
the schools fail the presidents get
the blame, and yet they must have
no power, no privileges above other
teachers, who may do all the mis-
chief they please while the Presi-
dent gets the blame. We believe
the very fact of his having the little
power the new law confers upon
him will tend to keep down the
"petty jealousies" our friend alludes
to. We want it distinctly under-
stood that we are entirely imper-
sonal when we say that undermin-
ers, sneaks, back-biters and sneer-
ers are great respecters p of au-
tho-ity. Our presidents and insti-
tutions of learning suffer more
from these, we believe, than any
other class. Our friend speaks of
Harvard, Yale and Ann Arbor, as
specimens of prosperity under his
mode of treatment. Harvard and |
Yale are not State institutions, and |
the rules which govern them would |
hardly be applicable to struggling
Stste institution in Kansas. Per-
haps every other man in the vicin-
ity Of Harvard and Yale is not
largely possessed with the idea that
he could run these institutions much
better than the respective presi-
dents.
We remember the other day of
reading that it was becoming q mat
ter of deep concern that the insti-
tuition at Ann Arbor could get no
one who would remain as president
for any length of time. The reason
was not stated, but the intimation
was conveyed, along with the state
ment, that the institution was on
he "down grade" on account OF
his frequent changing of presi-
Tents. We believe the responsible
heads OF our institutions must be
strengthened and upheld TO at least ,
ome extent, to be useful. Nothing
$ truer than that "a house divided &,
Igainst itself cannot stand.n Ave ,
would be the last 10 permit him to ,
!buse his position or his privileges. !
After all we must trust something :
o the manhood of those holding
ny kind of a public position. l
When found abusing the trust they s
aust be overlhrown. =
We were not aware that sit was t
trough the personal influence of {
neofthese presidents that this same /"
aw was passed. We understand '

TERRIBLE DIsAsTER.-On Mon
day the 3lst, the steamship Atlan-
tic bound TO New York, from Liv-
erpool, when about twenty miles
from port, of !Cape Prospect, ran
ashore on Meyers Head and sunk.
She had run short of coal, and was
putting for Halifax. She had on
over one thousand men, women
and children. Only $50 of these
were saved. The remainder, in
cluding all the women and children,
were drowned. This is one of the
most terrible disasters at sea that
has occurred in years.

were "friendlies. The names of
the murdered men were Eddie Dem
ing, of Arkansas City, Daniel
Short, and II. Poole, of Lawrence,
and .Chas. A. Davis of Missouri. A
party of thirty citizens had gone
out to rescue the balance OF the
party.
Too MOCHA fellow writes us
from Alton, Illinois, TO ''send him q
map OF Southwestern Kansas, with
all the vacant land. Also, the Cav
Indian reservation" We are sorry
we cannot comply with the request.
We are not in the map business.
We should take especial pleasure in
sending him few acres of "vacant
land had he enclosed the necessary
postage stamps. We cannot afford
to pay postage on vacant land. As
to the kaw reservation, its a pretty
large piece of ground, and we should
hate to ship it without ample assur-
ance that our correspondent would
pay the freight when it arrived at
Alton. Besides, we can hardly
spare it. Bob Stevens wants it, ana
as Major Stubs keeps n watchful
eye over it, we do not see plainly
how we could 'get away with it."
We advise our correspondent to
write TO Russ Randall, real estate
agent at Americas. Perhaps he can
assist him in getting the Kaw reser-
walton to Alton. The best way we
know for our friend to get a few
acres of "vacant" land, would be to
take his position at the head OF
Commercial street when "our gentle
zephyrs' are being waited from the
sonth. If this wont give satisf fac
ton, and supply him with all the
soil he wants then he must seek in-
formation in other quarters. We
sincerely hope our friend will not
succeed in getting GALL the vacant
land" We want it for settlers.
The words in quotation marks
are an exact copy of a letter receiv-
ed by us, this week, from Alton.
The fool-killer needs to call around
there soon.
