The sleeping car companies make
their pOrters lower each upper berth at
night, whether occupied or not, so that
the person having the lower berth shall
not enjoy more comfort than is bought
The object is to make it necessary for
anyone who requires a whole section to
pay accordingly. The Illinois legisla-
ture has now made law providing that
any person paying for a double lower
berth in sleeping car "shall have the
right to say whether the double upper
berth shall be opened or closed unit
such upper berth is actually sold anC
occupied" and that thereupon it shall
be the duty of the conductor or porte

CONE DEAD

Topeka Commonwealth; Mr.. E B.
Pureell's Santa Fe New Mexican is dead.
1t died ON Sunday morning. The fol-
lowing card explains itself:
desire to say that the presses, type,
fixtures and appuTtenRnces, together
with the press franchise of the New
Mexican, are for sale. E. b. PURCELL
Mr.. Purcell's system of newspapers
are all dead or dying. We are sorry to
have the New Mexican die; but then
Mr.. Purcell should not be discouraged.
There is "a long felt want" in many 9TH
er towns in Kansas and elsewhere, and
if Mr.. Purcell has any more money TO
spare he can continue in the newspaper
business. We should be sorry to lose
such an enterprlslng newspaper man
from the ranks of journalism. He
seems to be broad gagged and liberal.
Many poor tramp printer would have
been without job but for Mr.. Purcell,
Ali these things count-they say-in
the next world. We are also sorry to see
Mr.. Purceli's name disappear from the
editorial page of the Capital. We hope
this does not signify death to that gush-
ing concern. We can't well see how
the Capital can survive under its pres
ent management, but then money will
accomplish wonders. 1t is hardly ex-
pected that our esteemed friend will RI
val the lamented Horace Greeley in the
journalistic field, but then he should not
become dIsheartened. Newspapers are
good things. to have, and Mr.. Purcell
should buy more of them.

THEN IND NOK.

Coming down from Topeka the other
day on the fast or "Canonball" train, we
noticed that the distance between the
points was made in an hour and fifty
minutes. While this may not be con
sidered extraordinary running at all, yet
we could but revert to the time not long
ago when instead of two hours, two
days were often consumed in making the
trip. The first hack line ran to Law
renee from here, and it took two days to
make the trip. There was little travel
between this city and Topeka up to
1865. Afterwards the mail contract re-
quIred the trip between Emporia and
Lawrence to be made in a DAY. A little
hack was run which left here at 2 a. m,
and arrived in Lawrence when it could,
the condition of the roads governing
the hour of arrival Not unfrequently
1t was 10 and IL O'Clock the next night
when it got through, being eighteen TO
twenty hours making the trip. Colonel
Prouty once wrote to his Burlington pa
per in those days, that the definition of
trl-week'y as applied to Kansas hack
line was that it went up to Topeka one
week and tried TO get back the next.
The most dismal and uncomfortable
thing we recollect in connection with
past experiences is trip from here to
Topeka, Lawrence and Leavenworth by
stage in the winter time. We presume
those who had that experience never
take trip in the comfortable cars ofthe
Santa Fe but that they compare the old
days with the present. In few days
we will go to Topeka for about $1.85,
and will make the trip in two hours. In
the days we have described above il
took two days time and the fare was 81,
besides hotel expenses on the way. II
is by these comparisons that we realize
what railroads have done for the coun-
try and what comfort and blessing
they are. 1t is the universal verdict
both of men living along the line of the
Santa Fee and those residing along the
lines of other roads, that the Santa Fe is
the best managed road in the state.

OF George Eliot's personal appearance
her latest biographer writes: Her long,
pale race, with its strongly marked fea-
lures, was less rugged in the mature
prime of life than in youth, the inner
meanings of her nature having worked
themselves more and more to the sur
face, the mouth, with its benIgnant sua-
witty of expression. especially softening
the too prominent under lip and mas
slve jaw. Her abundant hair, untinged
with gray. whose smooth bands made a
kind of frame to the face, was covered
by a lace or muslin cap, with lappets of
rich point or ValencIennes lace
fastened under the chin. Her gray blue
eyes under noticeable eyelashes, express
ed the same sensitiveness as her long,
beautifully shaped hands. She had a
pleasant laugh and smile. her voice be-
ing low, distinct and intensely sympa-
thetic IN quality; it was contralto in
singing, but she seldom sang or played
before more than one or two friends.

Atchison Champion; Thirty saloon
keepers have been arrested in Wichita,
and number of prosecutions have been
commenced in Topeka and SalIna. In
Salina the county attorney, John Foster,
who is quite-vigoronsly prosecuting the
liquor sellers, was elected last fall as an
anti prohibitionist. and is Democrat.
The most vigorous prosecutions ever
made in Lawrence, too, have been made
by County Attorney Barker, who was,
until his election last fall, the attorney
employed to defend the saloon keepers,
and WAS denounced in the canvass last
year, as an antI-prohibitionist. An hon
est and capable man, who respects the
obligations of an official position, can
always be relied on to enforce law, and
will do the work with which he is
charged far more efficiently than a weak
and incapable man whose capital stock
is principally wind.

While the exports and the imports of
a country are not an inFalhble standard
of IFS financial condition, Il succession OF
several CONTINUOUS years when exports
largely exceed imports justities conf
dence in the present and hope for the
immediate future.
The excess of exports over imports of
merchandise for 1877 To 1882, inclusive,
aggregated 81, l26, 9y7, 7O7, or more than
one-half the whole public debt. The
strain of 1873 was relieved aud removed
during these years.
OF the series, last year was by far the
worst, the excess being only $25 ,902 ,6S3,
or one-tenth part that of 1881, when it
reached $259,7i2.71s. The great demand
for our produce, owing to the short crops
In Europe, not only liquidated large
debt abroad, but gave to the United
States an immense balance in our favor
The returns for the nine months OF the
present fiscal year are encouraging. The
exports sum up $65O,0OO, 900, against
$500, 100000 for the corresponding
months of 1882. The remaining three
months will probably add between $170,
900, 900 aud 5000. 900 to these figures
If the latter sum should be attained, Their

RAPID GROWTH.

The chief of the bureau of statistics
furnishes the North American Review
some valuable information showing the
progress the country has made in twen-
~ years III the matter of manufacturing,
farming and railroad construction. The
growth shown by these official figures Is
certaialY a matter of pride TO every
American. The writer says: Accord
ing to the census. the value of the prod
ucis of manufactures in the United
States was, in 1850, $1,0i9, 106, SIG; in
1860. 1855 ,s61 GIG; in 1870, SO, 432 ,4l5,-
933; and in 1880, s., 1863, 579. 191.
G Independently with the increase
in The value Of products of manufacture,
from 81. sS5, SGl GIG in 1860 TO $500,
579, 191 in 1880, there was an increase in
the acreage OF land in farms from 4O7,.
100000 in 1860 TO $50, 100000 acres in
1Ss0,--an increase of thirty-two per cent,
aid an increase IN the value of farms of
from SO 045 .0i5, 0O7 IN 1860 TO s.. 197,-
096,776 ia 1880, or filty-three per cent -
At the same time the foreign COM
merce Of the United States grew more
rapidly than ever before. The total
value OF exports increased from $685.
567 ,057 in 1860 to $685., 63s, 65S in 1880,
aud the value Of imports increased from
1858 GIG, no in 1850 to $G67 .054 ,746 in
1880. During the same period mining,
internal commerce, and all the other
great interests of the country advanced
more rapidly than ever before. The
railroad mileage increased from 30,G3j
miles in 1860, TO 93,671 miles In 1880.
Inventive genius, also, was stimulated
as never before in the history OF the
country, the number of paiedts issued
having increased from 1919 in 1860 TO
13,947 in 1880.
As to the special progress of the west
during this time the article says: With
IN tue memory Of men of middle age,
the great west was dependent almost en-
tirely upon the east and upon foreign
countries for manufactured products.
But the vslne of the manufactures of
that section increased from $346. 675, $50
in 1860 to 81 ,5s3, 235,7 06 in 1880. Dur
ing the latter year, the value OF the pro-
ducts of the western and northwestern
states was fifty per cent greater than
the total value of the products of manu-.
facture in the United States in 1850, and
almost equal to the total value Of the
manufactures of the country in 1860
The very fact of tie movement of manu-
factuIes toward the great surplus pro-
ducIng agricultural area of the west
clearly proves the mutually OF inter.
est existing between those two great
branches of industry.
