TOPEKA, KAN, October 2-Yestertay

Kansas closed. and It was the grandest and
greatest ever held on Kansas soil. So large

New Orleans Cor Chicago Times.I
New Orleans was once famous for her
creole balls, hut they have now become only
traditions OF the past. The term itself was
always a misnolner They We're properly
speaking. quadroon balls. The real creole
element Of New Orleans society was repre-
scented at these affairs only by the male par
Elephants. They were great evcnts-these
creole balls. The quadroon beauties were
celebrated in the old days for their brilliancy,
their accomplishments, their eloquence Of
manners, their richness Of attire. They con-
stituted the aristocraCy Of the half world Of
the gay southern capital, and the flower of
Louisiana chiyairy paid court at their shrine.
But the anomalous social structure Of which
they were component part long since
tottered to its fall and the brilliant and ac-
complished qualroon bellies disappeared for
ever beneath the ruins. Creole balls, sc
called, are still given in New Orleans, but
they bear no more resemblance to tbs
gorgeous revels OF the past than ball in q
State street dance-h house to one Of EuCenies
magnificent receptions at the Tulleries
They are, in short, n delusion and n snare.

This reduction directly concerns almost
every one in the United States. If adopt
ed by congress, it will be the second great
step toward the uniform rate OF the tu>
ture-a cent an ounce orletters, whether
across Broadway or across the continent.
The other change proposed by the COM
mittee's bill affects second class matter
The postage on newspapers and other pc
riod;cals regularly mailed from a rccog
nized office of publication is now two
cents pound. The bill reduces the rate
to one cent pound. We spoke favora,
bly, the other day of this measure. There
are several bills now before congress abol>
ishing postage altogether so far as second
class matter is concerned We think that
the committees plan is far more judicious
and equitable.
Both of these provisions are in the in
terest of the public, and they should be
approved by congress. The same thing
cannot be said of the section which pro-
vides for a subsidy to American steam>
ships carrying the foreign mails THIS is
not a good time for subsidy legislation Of
any sort.

William 2. Morrison.
From The Quincy Journal.


According to all the reports from
Springfield Mr.. Morrison viii receive the
caucus nomination for United States sen
ator, Some Of the reports say that be
will have no opposition in the caucus
We hope that these reports may prove
true; and we hope also that Mr.. Morrison
may be elected to the senate without Sc
nous troublc-fOr. if it he possible for IN
lliinoisan to deserve well Of his state.
Mr.. MORRISON deserves well OF it, for he
has truly and faithfully represented in
congressman party, but all Of the peo>
pie Of the state William r. Morrison
has represented Illinois in congress. And
by this we mean no disparagement Of any
other congressman; We simply mean that
Mr.. Morrison has represented the people
in the broadcast and truest and best sense.
Mr.. Morrison deserves well Of the repub>
licans of Illinois, for he has always fairly
and truly represented western interests
(Which are antagonistic to those of the
protected lords of Pennsylvania, fairly
and truly represented the interests Of Iii
nois. While hlr. Morrison has always
been a true party man, yet he has never
been unreasonable or bitter or fanaiiCal.
MIR. Morrison is the truest and the best
representative we have of the conscrva~
tive democracy Of Illinois Ii Mr.. Nor
rlsOn shall be elected to the United States
senate we all know just what to expect of
him. In taking him We run no risk; VIC
take no chances. His magnificent past is
an absolute guarantee for Il splendid fu,
ture. If Illinois sends Mr. Morrison to
the senate we all know that we have a
careful, prudent, judicious, safe and
trustworthy man there; one who will in
telligently, capably, faithfully, honoraby
serve the state of Illinois. There arc
doubtless, other men it Illinois that woulC
serve the state as well as Mr. Morrison
but there are none that would serve it be
ter.
We venture to say that Mr.. Morrison
nomination by the democratic caucus will
be heartily approved by AT least ninet,
nine hundredths of the democracy of tn
state. His nomination will come neare
to being universally acceptable to tn
party than would the nomination of an,
other man. Morrison is the first choic
of three fourths of the democrats of TIN
state, and the second choice of the othe
fourth.
Morrison's record is without flaw; h
will make most capable, serviceable an
honorable senator, and the JOHrHdJ hope
to see him elected to that importar
place.

tory OF the case. He stated that the govern
ment proposed to show that Cunningham
was one of the principals in the recent dyna-
mite outrage in London Tower, or, at least,
that he knew of the conspiracy to wreck it
and other public buildings of London. He
traced the prisoners movements, both III
Liverpool and London, with great exactnes9,
infinitely detailing his movements and NAM
ing the places at which he lodged. The
mysterious box, which Cunningham
was known to have possessed,
could not be found, which was
inconsistent with the prisoners claim of in
nocence. Mr.. Poland went on TO state that
Cunningham had been noticed lettering in
tie vicinity Of tho Tower some time previous
to the explosion, and all the facts in the
possession Of tho -police tended to directly
connect hiu with the crime Mr.. Poland
claimed that it was salf-evident from the tes-

Mr. Poland said Cunningham was ~ years
Of ag~; iiy occupation he wa a dock lahOrer;
he was not alone IN the work Of causing the
explosion at the Tower, but i'll league with
others whom the government soon hoped
to have in custody. The prisoner lived
in the United States several years; he ar
lived in Englanl last November; and
took quarters in Liverpool in small hotel;
when he left that place he came direct to
London The solicitor stated that it could

HOW TO MAKE RLIVING

1t is complained that all kinds Of bust
ness are overdone None Of the chan
nels of trade lead to success. There is no
profit in railroading, nor farming, nor
manufacturing, nor merchandising, nor
anything else In every vocation two
persons are found where one would suf-
fee, and SO the struggle fort living grows
every day more severe and less profitable.
But the remedy for this unsatisfactory
state of things is to invent and develop
new kinds of business-to stimulate new
human wants and then make fortune in
gratifying them. There is the twenty
four foot ring for example-the arena in
which that distinguished Bostoniau, John
L. Sullivan, has achieycd wealth and

money in it. No capital is required, and
