Kansas StoSkmen in Convention.

CALDWELL, KAN. March THE
>trckncn's convention il ~ full ses-
Sinn. with larger attendance than
ever. No decisive action of general
interest will Ice taken until the Gem
niitec on Constitution aud BY Laws
report tomorrow. The convention
this afternoon adopted the following
resolution:
R.SO'Ccd-AS the Kansas Legisla-
iure has adopted a railroad bill pro-
vidiug fur Commissioner, the stock
men of Southwestern Kansas respect
fully request that in the appointment
of said Commissioner the stock inter-

The resolution was adopted without
any discussion, the general feeling
seeming To- Se that Mr.. Mayhem is the
proper man TO fully represent the
stock interest of the State. II will be
a great disappointment to our stock

Ii il unfortunate that Speaker keifer
closes his career in the recent Con-
gress hy two serious mistakes :his con-
ilict with the correspondents at WASH
ington and his appointment of his
nephew To sinecure position the
last day of his Speakership. The cor
respondents gallery il intended for
working journalists who have 'hc tele-
graph wires brought 10 their elbows,
ANA must of necessity bealiowed 10 0c-
cupv their desks undisturbed. The
standing rules of the House protect
them in their right to this gallery,
and authorized the correspondents
themselves To decide who are entitled
to entrance. To drive the correspon-
dents from their desks and fill their
gallery with spectators was not only
violation of the rules, but gross dis
courtesy and disregard for set Of
men to whom Speaker Keifer owes
his prominence. And then. when
they protested against such treatment,
for him Ia dispose of the press with an
oath, as Vanderbilt disposed ofthe pub
lie. was certainly a lack of discretion
on the Speakers part for which he
will reap the penalty in the future.
The correspondents at Washington
are not Cherubim nor Seraphim. but
they have fondness for human re-
vcnges. and will get even with keifer.

Some curious criminal statistics have been
collected, with the view, apparently, of de-
Gliding which is the "wickedest city" in the
country-a proud distinction which Chicago
has all along claimed for itself. 1t appears
that New York, with population of 1,20G,
300, has police force of 27l5 men and there
were committed in the city from September
/, 1884, TO October 20, 1882, ffty-fve homi-
cides Philadelphia, witha population of SAG,
9S4, has 1l75 patrolmen and there were
only 25 homicides from September /, 1881,
to September 90, 1882. Kings county,
New York. has II population of 500, 495,
and the city of Brooklyn. $50, $50. The po-
lice numbers G42 men. There were only 12
hoinicides from September 10, 1881, to Oc-
tober 20, 1882. Baltimore, with popula-
tion OF 332, 100, has 525 policemen, and last
year there were 10 homicides up to October
II. San Francisco, with population of
100000 at date, has 40G policemen, and
there were 10 convictions out of 80 mforma-
tions on hand without reference to dates.
Boston, with population of 1887, G2G in the
county and 3Ge, $50 in the city, has
755 policemen there were 10 hom-
cides during the year. Cincinnati, with
a population OF 1913, 1865, in Hamilton county,
or only 255, 1870 in the city, has SOL police
men there were 20 homicides within the
year. In Chicago, with population in the

writer who seems able to assail 1t with that
sledge hammer enthusiasm end force which
will carry only the spirit Of reform with 1t
and leave out Of notice the debasing and
alluring features Of the subject. 1t would be
very difficult indeed to do this-far more
difficult than any problem which Dickens or
Reade had 10 solve-and we doubt If the
modern school of fiction, in its euervated con-
dilion, is equal to the task. Besides, there
are other influences at work upon
the problem, which may very prop
crly dispense with the aid OF fc'
ton. Legislative action and the pub
lie platform arc far stronger and more
efTectual agents IN divorce reform, to-day
than fiction, even by the hand OF Dickens
or n Thackeray, could be. And so, also, will
other questions OF the day Reforms may
be effected more quickly and cffectually BY
legislation and popular discussion than b,
beginning with the imagination Of TN
people and working upward 10 the. intellec
and the will.
The day of fiction, then, would seem to b
passing, if not already past. The master
pieces upon almost all possible themes o
human life, have been produced, ana til
novclsts of to-day are either imtators o
daliers. 1t is possible, of course, that cor
dtions may arise in the future which wi
revive the art of fiction, but at present
seems to be languishing in sure decline
There is, probably, no novel of the preser
day that will live for century; most
| them will not live twelve months. If this
not decline in fiction. the conditions OF
decline would be hard to determine.

kind is fathcred by w. @. Wilson, the sew
ing machine inventor and manufacturer
There are now about :aairty sewing machine
companies OF large extent in this country
and, the terms Of many Of the patents hav-
ing expired, the increase In the number oil
companies and the sharp competition and
rivalry, have operated to cut down prices.
With this Mr.. Wilson is highly dissatisfied
and in circular sent to the thirty companies
he Celebrates scheme for uniting all the
manufacturers Of sewing machines under
two-headed syndicate, to produce only two
kinds of machines, and to fix the price at
one figure, which would leave margin OF at
least Sl2 profit apiece on the 300, 900 sewing
machines annually sold in this country. In
proof of the feasibility of what he proposed,
hlr. Wilson called attention to the fortunes
amassed in the Standard Oil company and
the Western Union telegraph company. This
scheme is an Infamous outrage upon the pub
lie and is rendered additionally outrageous
| from the fact that the public has already pait
the sewing machine inventors and those whC
aided them sums SO vast as TO far more that
sufficiently remunerate them for their inven
ton, bcnefcent as it has proved to be. TIN
late Mr. Singer left an estate OF thirteen mil
lions of dollars and the late president of tn
Singer company was credited with forum
twice as great aud every one connected
with the sewing machine industry reapet
enormous profits. And these great sums re
present Of course not legitimate profits on til
manufacture aud sale of the machine but
large percentage in addition to that, charge
by the monopoly and paid by the people
We have no idea that Mr. Wilson will b
able to carry his scheme into practical ei
feet, but plan so bold and so characteristi
of the times is worthy of attention and CON
ment.

MIR. Edmunds is fifty-fve years old, and he
mas sat IN the Senate seventeen years. Dur.
Ing that long term his constructive talent has
been as evident as his ascendency In debate
und his mastery OF constitutional law He
IS not on orator, but he is thoroughly
equipped debater, an acute and remorseless
critic OF fallacy and fustian and ignorance
with memory like wcll.ordercd arsenal,
IN which every weapon stands brightly
FURNISHED and ready for instant use. His
elevation to the Presidency of the Senate
was but fitting honor from his party asso-
GATES, and ii properly fills the gap-which
would have been pcrlous had 1t been left
unfilled-produccd by the expiration of Mr..
Davis's Senatorial term.
The most striking fact in the career Of Mr..
Edmunds is that while he is one of the most
conspicuous, constant, and positive partiGl-
pants IN the discussions of the Senate. and IA
regular Republican, there is no Rcpubli
can leader who is so universally acceptable to
the party. In 1880 he was understood not to

war,' nor "lIaf-breed." Among Republ-
can chiefs his position is unique, and it is
Que TO the fact that he holds himself entirely
aloof from the wretched business of spoils.
His position was not made by patronage,
and 1t does not depend upon a
machine" His ascendency is actual, not
Fictitious. His State is justly proud of him,
as Massachusetts was formerly proud of
Webster, and afterward Of Sumner, and, like
them, he takes his own course. lie is, how.
| ever, very conservative OF the traditions OF
the SENATE and Of its powers. His mind is
too acute not TO see the reason Of reform, and
he is too just not to admit it, but his tenn
permanent sometimes protests, 50 that he
may be called n reformer if he can have
his own way. This habit is doubtless otter
trying to his associates, and leads to tht
charge of hypercrticism. But MIR. Ed
munds was one of the earliest friends Of
Ieform in the civil service, and the bill Of
fered by Mr.. Pendleton in 1880 was sub
stantially the one that was proposed by Mr.
Edmunds ten years before. Probably his
chair in the Senate is more agreeable to Mr.
Edmunds than that of presiding officer, ant
1t is possible that upon the Resembling o.

to relinqush his new honor. But whether
upon the floor or in the presidency of tht
Senate, Mr.. Edmunds is the Republica,
leader of whom his whole party is proud.

THE NEWEST ATTEMPTED MONOPOLY.

One of the greatest dangers of our time is
unquestlonably the tendency of corporate
capital to combine and create monopolics,
through which healthy business competition
is strangled and enormous profits earned
upon articles of general consumpton-prof-
IS every cent Of which comes out of the
pockets OF the people. The operation of
these monopolics is simply an ancient form
OF robbery in new face. The medieval
bishop, when questioned as to the seemingly
ill-chosen location OF his new castle, replied,
'But do you not observe that it is located
directly at the junction of two roads 2"
From that coign of vantage the venera-
bic prelate could levy forced contrlbu-
tons upon travellers on both roads; and
in fashion somewhat analogous the
modern railroad exacts the payment of trib-
ute from the way faring man and tue mer-
chant. And besides the railroads, host of
other monopolizing corporations utter a new
version of the old cry of "Stand and de-
liver" and with cheerful impsrliality relieve
the rich of aportion OF their abundant store
and take from the poor part of their scanty
earnings. Such, for instance, is the Dia-
mond match company, which now complete
ly controls the manufacture of that most in
dispensiDe article and into whose treasury
every human being in this country pays toll.
Another is the Standard Oil company which
controls the production and the price of pc.
troleum and which has become enormously
rich at the expense of the people. And to
many another monopoly do we pay tribute,
while new ones are being formed or under
taken almost every week.
The latest attempted organization of this
