The republicans are bowling them
selves hoarse in favor of a policy of
high taxes. They may think that is
wisdom, but we cannot so see it. There
is nothing radical, revolutionary or I'M
just in the democratic policy as outlin-
ed by Messrs. Morrison and Carlisle.
It simply proposes to reduce taxation
moderately and reasonably, at a time
when there is a large surplus OF reve-
nue.. What is the objection 4? None
on the face of the earth but the one
offered by the dog in the manger.
The republicans say, 1--WE did not re-
duce the taxes adequately, but you
democrats shall not do it. We will do
it properly when we get into legislative
power; we know how; you democrats
do not" This arrogant nonsense may
go a step too far. Audacity is a very
good thing; but pure and unadultera-
ted, %unblushing cheek is hardly the
thing. 1t may be that the people will
say in November that the monopolists
and their plant tools, the republicans
in congress, must take a back seat.
The canning factory firm will remain
as now at st. Joseph, Whiteford, Sill
YER & Co. At this place the firm will
be Silver s. Whiteford, Joseph B. Sill
ver-H. F. Whiteford. The firm has
bought the east half of MI. Henry C.
Wallace's lots which lie west of Ker-
dolf's mill, being 129 feet front OH the
road by 1856 feet in depth. The loca-
ton is an excellent ono being accessi-
BILE from all directions, and near the
depot for shipments. They will begin
building next week. Mr.. Silver has
not been idle as to securing vegetables,
and has made contracts with 40 or so
different persons for tomatoes and
corn. He desires us to say that it is
not at all necessary to provide supports
for tomato vines, as they bear more
without, all that is needed being to
plant them far enough apart.

A man named Berners, having COM
mitted a murder, was only found guilty
of manslaughter, at Cincinnati, which
so incensed the people that a mob at
tackled and burned part Of the Jail and
courthouse, and many valuable public
documents. Berners in the meantime
was taken quietly away to the peniten-
tiary. In quelling the mob some fifty
persons were killed and two hundred
wounded, by the military and the po-
lice. The riot lasted some two days,
during which there was q reign of ter
ror. The governor and mayor acted
nobly in defense of order, and Gov.
Hoadly deserves everlasting credit for
not calling on the general government,
as Gov. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania did
when his state became the scene of mob
rule.
One of the grandest enterprises of
our giant neighbor, Kansas City, is the
new cable street railroad, the third one
in the United States, the other two
being in Chicago and San Francisco.
1t is to run from the Union depot some
two miles to the city limits, double
track, with masonry and iron track,
and %stupendous central building and
machinery. Mr.. James Lillis, former
ly of this place, has the entire contract
except for the su~perstructure of a
bridge over the Union depot tracks his
contract being for 1885,, 900, work to be
completed by August 1886. He has il
we'll under way, and will make a good
job of it. We hope, too, that he will
make it profitable.

UNHAPPY ATCHis0N.

The people of Atchison are just as I'M
question. They are all torn up and we
should think-that not only business inter-
ests, but families and churches divided over
the problem that must soon become a ma
tional question. The Temperance Union
or some other prohibition organization, it
seems, had commenced to crowd the viola
tors OF the law, whcreupon meeting was
called composed of citizens, and in which
figured the names OF well-known aud prom
inent citizens, which meeting protested ye-
hementiy against any prosecutions, passing
resolutions condematory Of so unwise o
policy, and asking that the resolutions be
circulated for signatures. They even de-
manded that the county commissioners
should sci down on the proceedings against
saloon keepers, and discourage the county
attorney from instituting suits. The fol-
lowing is one Of the resolutions introduced
by Gen. Stringfellow;
Resoiped, That the chairman of this meet
ing be instructed TO appoint committee OF
five citizens, TO prepare aud present a petit
tien TO the board of county commissioners.
requesting that. they instruct the county
attorney not TO prosecute any Siolators OF
the prohibition act, and that they be re-
quested not TO assume any OF the costs OF
said prosecutions, IL any be commenced,
and that they request the county attorney
not to proceed In any suits Until he is pre-
scented with evidence so as 10 compel him
TO institute such suits.
The following day the other side called a
meeting in which the opposite ground was
taken, resolutions passed and speeches
made, which TSsetlng was followed by the
filing of complaints against twelve firms.

up city can better be imagined than de-
scribed. but il viii be in Atchison as in

HOW 1T WORKS.

The Caldwell Journal takes up the late
decision OF the railroad commissions, and
applies its workings 10 that point. ii
says.
The journal of last week contained a 10.
cal mention Of the apportionate difference
of freight rates over the Santa Fe road and
over the Frisco road. which places the
Santa Fe in a wrong light. The facts are
these: The rate from ST. Louis TO Wichita,
over either road, is SLIGO per hundred on
iirst-class goods. aud the rate 30 this point
over either road is only 81 IS per hundred
for frst-class goods. although the freight
bill, when divided, viii show sate OF 40
per cent. for the Santa Fc from Wichita
here, and only 50 per cent. for The Frisco
line from st. Louis to Wichita. The reason
for this is that the Santa Fe and Frisco
roads are both members Of the southwest
eTn pool, aud the rate agreed upon for ex-
change Of business on these lines shipped
from or to points on the Santa Fe below
Wichita should be OF a basis OF 40 per cent.
for the Santa Fe and 60 per cent. for the
Frisco, let the pool rate 10 that point be
what il may. The local rate from Wichita
10 this point is IS cents. and The through
rate to st. Louis is but $i.G5, which the
companies claim is equitable when the diff
fereace in long and short runs is taken into
consideration. The decision of the railroad
commissioners gives rate Of 60 cents 10
Wichita from here, aud IS cents TO Kansas
(ffr xrtfta fu 4
on horses or mules $40 per ear to Kansas
City. Thu old raie was better than the
new. Tho average freight rates TO this
point is in favor of the railroad under this
decision. by 10 or Is per cent.

SENATOR INGALLS, RECORD.

Senator ingalls, has been annoyed by the
inference drawn in various quarters from
his course in the Senate that he is cham
pion OF railroad corporations in general and
land grant roads in particular. In CONVEX
saiion to-day he said that such an inference
was a gross injustice. The record of the
Senate would show that he had never OBJ
jeeted TO the passage of resolutions asking
for information desired by Senators. As he
said in the Senate, during the first week of
the session, he had heard that Secretary
Teller was TO be made the object of bitter
attacks this winter. Mr.. Teller was friend
OF his, and he did not intend to see him at
tackled without protest. He had there
fore objected to careless assertions in reso-
buttons asking for information from the In
terror Department, but in no sense had he
appeared as the champion of railroad cor
