To the Editor Of the lnIelllEencer.
SlR-Theru must be some remarkable
genius about the REGISTER office. It's en-.
terprise is simply wonderful. Last summer
II sent a staff correspondent to Maine to
write up the Maine liquor law, and being
compelled by candor to admit the success
Of prohibition in Maine, the Aforesaid stat
correspondent wrote 4 long letter concern.
ing what he had incidentally learned about
Kansas, giving rather blue picture OF
Kansas prohibition. But the wonderful
thing about that letter was Its remarkable
similarity TO another letter previously writ
ten by correspondent oil New York
paper some months previous. In fact, the
Two letters we're alike, rerbatim d hterdiin.
Now the RegiRer this morning says II
telegrapbed Governor Click, Of Kansas, on
yesterday, for light on prohibition, and
they say 1t received reply as follows:

And the remarkable feature about this dis
patch Is that II iseopled reTbdiim It lietruisHl

MINIMUM RATES.

Some wild-eyed crank, who evidently be-
lieres that the American people should not
be allowed 10 eat bread or drink water, ex-
eept as prescribed by statute, and who is
trying TO trim up everybody TO his standard,
after saying how much n railroad shall have
for doing its work, now slips in with a bill
TO regulate ard reduce the price OF printers
work. Why don't the fool go on and say in
his bin that doctor shall only be allowed
SO much for each case, that hired girl shall
only have so much per week and that farm
laborer SO much per month, and at once
systematic the economics of Kansas, plac-
ing her people on plane with slaves
What sense is there anyway in the ambition,
industry and enterprise, that builds up
States and counties, and surrounds them
with all the advantages which can be de-
vised by genius. Why not reduce every
thing TO dead brute level, with everything
fixed and with no hope Of expansion or
growth?
The man or men who introduced House
Bill No. 81, or its substitute, ought TO have
their heads soaked in alum water and they
put to work in the basement of a barn at
sixty-two and half cents per day for the
rest of their lives. Such men woefully fail
in their conceptions Of the duties of a law
maker for free people. They fail TO under
stand that the higher the civilization. the
less need there is of law, and that their
ideas of government are not above the rule
OF Russia or absolute empire.

AN INSTANTANEOUS LIGHT.

Such in q word is the unique apparatus on
exhibition at the rooms Of The Portable
Electric Light Company. p Water street.
1t occupies the space Of only five square
inches and weighs but Eve pounds, and can
be carried with ease. The light, or more
properly lighter, requires no extra power,
wires or connections, and is SO constructed
that any part can be replaced at small cost
The chemicals are placed In glass retort
carbon and zinc apparatus, with spiral
platinum attachment, Is then adjusted SO al
to form battery. and the light is ready.
The pressure on little knob produces an
electric current by which the spiral Of plat
mum is heated 10 incandescence. The Port
able Electric Light Company was recently
incorporated with capital Of s1OO, 900 under
the laws of Massachusetts Some Of the
prominent business men Of the State arc
identified with this enterprise. In addition
to its use rs u lighter, the apparatus cat

MAXIMUM RATES.

The maximum rate idea if incorporated in
a bill such as the House has been trying to
force the Senate TO accept, will raise Ned
with the shipping interests OF such cities as
wichita, especially the output OF the county's
productions, while also in the matter OF
coal the rates will be increased. The maxi
mum rates will help dry goods, hardware
and clothing merchants, but not the con-
consumers Of their goods. Where the bill
is to help it don't help at all, and where il
hurts it hurts awfully.
Wichita and Sedgwick county can stand
good stiff rates for all that is shipped in ex-
cept coal and lumber, but we want low rates
for all the produce we send to the mines, and
on all the grain and live stock that we send
to the Mississippi river. The shipment OF
groceries and dry goods to us for nothing
would be very small matter, but low rates
on produce, corn, wheat, hogs and cattle
means lots Of good money in the pockets Of
our people.

TO TIE FRONT.

Kansas has managed TO keep pretty well to
she front in Congress of late. What with
Plumb's financial speech, Ingalls, address on
Senator Hills death, Ryan's Indian appro-
priation estimates and Anderson's free trade
tangents the State has not wanted for no.
tice. But last week, bud Haskell, with his
stalwart presence and roaring voice, set all
Congress buzzing by most vigorous attack
on Townshend, OF Illinois. The democratic
sucker had been for days insinuating that
the ways and means committee had been in
fluenced by lobbyists and cranks. The Re-
publicans chose Haskell TO set down on the
impertincnt Townshend, and be did it so hard
that 1t made the whole democratic side sore
who have been urging their plucked chick
en- to challenge bud for duel. Haskell,
who is an original base ballest from the
Kaw, enjoys the situation immensely, and
Townshend had better hands of.

pELMAR,s DISCOVERY.

The New York Tribune's "Broadway Note
Book" man says that Alexander Delmar, long
the pillar of free trade in this country, and
the statistIcian of the free traders, has ceased
to believe i'm that doctrine. Mr.. Delmar re-
Gently said to him:
'.The so-called evils of protection are ex-
aggerated, il they exist at all, by those who
see the American tariff through the specta-
Giles of European society, where labor and
agriculture hold the stirrups for the upper
classes. There protection is the robbery OF
the vast mass of consumers. Here protec-
ton not merely raises the cost of life, but
also general wages. All can afford to pay the
tariff rate. because it instantly raises the

others, that the Free Trade League of twelve

Mr.. Delmar also told the following Incl

at his home, and he said: "Judge, do you

cratic society the facts that separate protec-
ton and free trade in class countries no Ion

thing in America raises the price OF every
thing; that tariff on iron puts up the value
of butter; in brief, that so sympathetic is
American society that bounties, or tariff. can
not be inyidious; that improving one trade
by law lifts the general grade OF condition

ANOTHER HORROR.

One catastrophe crowds upon another 30
closely since the opening Of the present year
that TO look back there seems little else than
two months of terrible accidents and fearful
mortality. The Ohio floods and disasters,
OF last week, were followed by "A casualty
at Braidwood, little town twenty miles
south of Joliet, Illinois, where a coal mine
was flooded, or cayed in from the pressure
of water or saturation OF the soil, from re-

beneath many thousand tons of earth with

sLUss STILL STICKS.

Senator Sluss still sticks to his idea, that a
maximum rate with commissioners would
work better for the interests Of the State
than simply commissioner control. In eX-
PLANTATION of his vote on his amendment to
the Kelly bill, he SAID:
The principle involved was whether the
legislature would assert its control over
freights and fares. The Republican party
by its platform demanded legislation which
would control freight rates. The Democratic
and Greenback parties did the same. Petit
tions had come up from the producers all
over the State asking legislation that would
control freight rates. Has single petition
been presented asking Us TO pass the Kelly
bill, No, not one! Senators have intro
duced good deal of subterfuge into this
discussion by seeking TO hide behind cloud
they have raised that the principle embodied
in this amendment is beyond our power, be-
cause il affects interstate commerce, or
freight going beyond the limits Of the State.
The supreme court OF the United states
have decided this question for us in Peek vs..

legislature has power to prescribe maxi
mum OF charges TO be made for transporting
persons or property within the State, or

within it, or taken up inside and carried
without Another cloud which has been
raised TO create doubt as to our power in
in the premises, is the argument that some
of the railroads are operated under special
ham
TO fix their own charges, and that therefore
we cannot regulate freight charges as TO
such roads. This question has over and
again been decided by different courts. The
question was fully considered by the supreme
court of Illinois, and / read their conclu.

published in the Chicago Tribune concern
ing n recent decision Of the Iowa railroad
commissioners, holding that shippers have
the right to select the route over which
their goods shall be carried. This dispatch
states that this has long been vcxed ques-
ton among shippers. Showing that under
the Iowa law which is the Kelly BILL It mas
taken shippers Eve years to find cut that
they had tine right TO select the route Oh
