One of the street car companies in
New York is about to introduce cars
propelled by pneumatic pressure. The
air reservoirs, in appearance like the
hot water boilers in house ranges, are
almost concealed under the ends of
the car and the engines are wholly
concealed. The movement OF the car
is controlled by the operation of single
lever, and can be made to move at any
required speed, from a slow walk to
twenty miles an hour.

An EXPERT Lieutenant Gov
ernor p p Elder missed his calling, in his youth.
Had he commenced practicing in time, he might
have become star circus tunibler. On the stl
of May, he wrote us a letter, in which he ex
pressed an earnest desire that the next Republi-
can State Convention should adopt an ontspoken
Western platform on the financial question, and
not allow few men to fix up Wall Street
platform for Kansas; adding, in most emphatic
language, that he did not nor ever did like the
hard money views of GeorgeT Anthony. On the
9Th of July, horribly written communication
was printed in the Topeka Commonwealth, cry
ing out against the fixing up of q ticket by q
crowd of Kansas editors, and eulogizing Gov
Anthony as one of the ablest and purest mel
that ever lived, who was the only man who had
ever done creditable thing for the State, and
demanding his reelection. The Commonwealth,
in an editorial, announced that the writer was
p. P. Elder. On the 10th of July, the Greenback
Congressional Convention for the ID District
met at Fort Scott, and nominated P. p. Elder fol

How THEY LOOK AT IT.-The Oskaloosa IHde
pendent says that, two years ago, it was friendly
to the nomination of w. w. Guthrie for Con
gress, but that his action at and after the Con.
vention, was not calculated to help him in the
future; and that if Phillips is to be beaten,
some man should be selected who is less objec
tionable. just what we have said, and what We
still think. The bitter fight of two years ago
and which is beginning to crop ont again, was
between Phillips and Guthrie. The nomination
of either would not tend to promote harmony
Some popular man, not principal in that fight,
should be selected. We believe that Mr.. Leland
fills the bill better than any one else.

n Hayes wants harmony. He bankers after
ID all the time. When the Senate was out oi
the way, SO that it could not defeat his appoint
ments, he removed Arthur and Cornell from the
New York Custom House. There was no charge
against them, except that they were friends OF
Senator Conkling. They are appointments that
are necessary to be confirmed by the Senate, and
the Senate having once refused to sanction the
removal, this act is not only gross violation Of
Civil Service, but an evasion of law. But this
high-minded President has done praiseworthy
act, to make up for mean one. He has secured

be to draw over 500 per month for shaving the
idiotic face of the President.

PARADISE OF fUsURERs-If Kansas Is the country fol
the poor man to acquire homestead and landed in
herance for his children, it is also certainly para
disc for the shrewd man with money to command :
As in all new countries, money is scarce, and like 9th
er scarce articles, commands high price. The Legal
rate of interest is ten per cent Ten per cent is paid
ON giltedged mortgages, which all exempt ions
The savings banks pay ten per cent deposits They
have there what is known 'chattel mortgages, by
which man pledges his personal property in pay ment
Of debt On these the banks and others loan money
at from twenty to twentyfour per cent
The man who borrows money q realestate mort
gage generally has to pay ten per cent additional
bonus. So the shrewd and careful capitalist can
increase his store very fast But both moneys in.
terest and mortgages are pretty heavily taxed only
nonresidents escape this and are taxed according
the laws of the States in which they live The sweep
ing exemption laws are wisely provided, else the
rich money lenders would soon absorb all the landed
property of the poorer farmers who happen get in
debt But, on the other hand both custom and law
allow of such very large rates Of interest justify
from the East to develop the country.
