We are glad 10 see Marsh Murdoch
catch ou to our idea OF the rights OF settlers
on government land and Sle protection tx
tended them by the department.. Tue cat
tie syndicltes OF southwestern Kansas
have trampled upon the rights Of honest
settlers and By threats and knndoxing
forced them on the public domain. The
recent murders or Barber county are not
the first troublcs growing out OF the TN
lawful fencing Of the public lands. We
have always taken q stand for the settler
and condemiyed the course OF the capital
lists who attempted 10 usurp not only the
rights OF the settlers, bur tresspaEs upon
the lands Of the people held In trust by
the government. The people are deter
mined to- assert their rights. and " the de-
partment will net protect them they pro-
pose to protect Themselves. But the gov
ernDssnt will throw around the settler its
protecting arm, and those In search OF
homes Can enter the paShircs Of these mo.
nOpolists and bccate.. Tie fences must 90,

Republican.
There is 10 excuse for such trash as The
above, for the editor Of the Kinglnan pa
per knows that the rights OF no actual set
tiers have BEEN trampled on In this county.
10 be consistent the Republican
should uncarth the many alleged cases OF
crookedness in kingman county; 1t should
set forth the many cases where parties are
making proofs In that comfy without first
having resided continuously on the lands
or without having cultivated one acre.
Down here there Is no such thing known
as cattle syndicates, and the very best
Of feeling exists between all classes OF citi.
zcns. II Is only the invention OF dena.
gogrI"s to cry out so often and so loudly
against alleged trampling on tire rights OF
ss1ies. Leave IL to the average settler
and see II his rights are trampled on to
any extent. The unfortunate killing In
this county n few weeks ago was liable to
occur anywhere. and Il cannot be claimed
that il was the Outgrowth Of bad feeling
between two elements. Il was q personal
affair; did not have the sanction Of stock.

To Keep Railroad Cars Cool.

The French railway authorities are at pres
ent engaged in a series of experiments from
which, perhaps, our own directions might
take some hints. With hot weather coming
on, or at least in the ordinary course of nature
expected, the problem is how to keep the rail
way carriages cool. In France travellers are
packed very tight, and most trains go very
slowly, and the authorities have to arrange
to deliver their human cargoes at distant ter
mini with vitality not quite extinct. So they
are now exercised in seeking how to cool their
carriages. They have gone as far as India
for suggestions, and the favorite experiment
is with kind os punkah. A long cylinder
runs the lenght of the roof of the carriage
furnished with fans. set in motion by revolv-
ing the cylinder. After many systems tried
this seems the most practicable, and the only
point in dispute is how to get the motive
froce- The surplus of steam of the engine
has has been tried on one line, and on anoth-
er little arrangement like a wind mill at.
tsched to each carriage. the motion of the
train causing the wings to rovolve, while the
occupants of each carisge can regulate OF
arrest the stream of air. Both systems are
being tested. and our companies need only
take the benefit of these experiments ant
adopt the most successful or the least costly.
