WEB WILDER ON THE RAIL.
ROAD COMMISSIONERS.

ROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Web Wilder, in hrs IIIawaIha World,
discussing the railroad commissioners,
says in his characteristic frank way
James Humphrey Is n good man. The
Commonwealth is wrong in saying that
Humphrey went off in the Greeley
movement; he went Off twenty -one
years ago, when he was candidate for
secretary of state and defeated. He was
then elected. He is u man OF real abil
ity, of the best character, and will prob
ably make an excellent officer. 1t il
to be observed, however, that not every
man who stands on the corners and says
Lord, Lord will, for saying so. enter
the kingdom of heaven. An out can al
ways say reform TO the ans, and
may say IL sincerely. But when
he is in he may find
that talk is not reform. We have nc
reason to distrust Judge Humphrey, and
We rejoice over his appointment
though appointed by Click he is a high
or type OF man. But he will learn that
MS days OF talking reiorm, friendship,
love and truth are oyer; that 1t is the
work that is wanted now, and that the
new officers, under q new law in
which every man takes lively interest,
will have the lIveliest chance ever offer
ed in Kansas to make the Golden Rule
part Of our railway policy.
Henry Hopkins has long been tried,
in q difficult place, as an executive
officer. He is q strong, practical, man
He. too, will be more tempted than he
ever was before. An unruly convict
can be shut up. To deal with Jay
Gould is not so easy.
"These are the three. We wish them
joyi If they do their duty they will
earn their salaries. But the law and the
men are likely TO be changed many
times before justice is secured

1t is said that $4,000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is from
consumption. This can be, and should
be avoided; our people are too careless
about an ordinary cough or cold, and
the other symptoms of throat and lung
affections that lead to this disease. You
should arrest it while il is in the germ.
Two or three doses of DIR. Bosanko's
Cough and Lung Syrup will relieve an
ordinary cough or cold. 1t does lot
dry up cough like many preparations
ON the market and leave the disease be-
hind it, but acts directly on the throat
and bronchial tubes, removing all the
phlegm and morbid matter that accu-
initiates in the throat and lungs. 1t
