The railroad strikes may now be considered
for all practical purposes at an end. They have
caused q great deal Of pecuniary loss to the cor
poratiors, to the workingmen. and to the bust
ness community. But they have been of inesti-
mable value as means of securing for the labor
problem an amount and kind of discussion from
all classes such as it never received before.
Never before have tho labor associations at
tracted SO much attention to their aims and
methods from others besides large employers.

English Capitalists and Mexican Railways.
Washington Special.
This afternoon the correspondent of the Com
mercial Advertiser called Senator Plumb's at
tention to the published report that he had said
that the Mexican Central railroad, now owned in
this country, is likely to pass into the hands of
English capitalists. He replied that he had
made the assertion, though not expecting IL to
be made public, but that it is based on absolute
authority
Mr.. Plumb said that the Indifference of our
government to the interest of our citizens in
Mexico, and the refusal of Congress to adopt the
Mexican treaty has greatly discouraged the own
ers of the road. English capitalists who wish to
control Mexican trade and see that this Ameri-
can railroad is their greatest danger, are trying
to purchase it, and run it in their own interests
Unless something is done, Mr.. Plumb is afraid it
will so happen.
Senator Plumb favors vigorous policy on our
part, which would make the Mexican govern
ment respect its contracts with our citizens as
in the Of this road, which. he says. ought to
be made the channel of our controlling the Mex
ican markets

Brutal Murder.

The body of young man named
Charles G. Cross was found lying on the
prairie in the northeastern part of
Thomas county, on the 9th inst, with a
bullet hole through the head and anoth-
er through the heart, under such circum-
stances as to leave nodoubt that he had
been foully murdered. Young Cross was
last seen in Colby on February 2Sth, and
it is thought that the body must have
lain on the prairie two or three days be-
fore discovered. At the coroner's inquest
no evidence was adduced giving any light
as to the author of the foul deed, al
though it is the generally accepted theory
that the murder was committed by a
gambler who had just escaped from Jail
at Oberlin and was seen in Colby few
days before, and of whom Cross had ex-
pressed fears of personal injury. The
deceased was well known in Thomas
county and universally esteemed. He
was native of Valparaiso, Indiana, and
resided in Leavenworth county two years
after coming to Kansas.

WE THINK so.

Some of the papers in Judge Han

Turner as candidate for congress. He
says he is not or will not be candidate
He wants to earn his living by "the
sweat of his brow" That's all right, but
If an honest, faithful congressman don't
so earn his living we think no one does.
There is not member of the Kansas
delegation who does not work good
deal more than ten hours day. But,
seriously, will Kansas gain anything by
changing any of her congressman To-
feka Commonwealth.
Each representative in congress is, to
some.extent, a representative of the state
of his residence. He is also a repre-
sentative of his whole country. These
considerations do not, however, vitiate
the fact that the people of his own dis
trict are the ones to say whether man
shall be returned to congress.
We are positive that majority of the
residents of this district are opposed to
Mr.. Hanback, being his own successor.
This settles the issue which the Com
nonscaltk raises.
1t is true, Mr.. Hanback, may be re-
turned. even in the face of this fact.
This is another thing.

IDLE TALK.

There is a good deal of discussion
going on about third term for state
officers. 1t seems to us that it is good
policy this year to renominate the whole
state ticket. Two years hence, the presi-
dental year, we can inaugnrate the ''two
terms plan, without creating any sore
ness or bad blood. at that time, if
Messrs Howe and McCabe are renoni-
mated now, there will be 10 state officers
who have not held their positions at least
two terms, and the whole lot can go ont
together Topeka Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth INDUCES in idle
talk when it suggests the adoption of the
txo-term principle among the state
officers. We believe as thoroughly as
any one should in the principle of rotation
in Office, but the policy of the people has
been that, when an exceptionally capable
or otherwise unusually deserving officer
has been tried, he should be tried some
more.

JOHN f. MILLER

John T. Miller, United States senator
from California, whose death occurred at
Washington, ID. c., at Las P. NJ, on the
6 inst, arrived in that city seriously ILL.
Senator Miller was one of the rich men
Of the senate, and belonged to the coterie
of that body Familiarity known as the
'Milionaires' club" John F. Miller, of
San Francisco, was born in Indiana, in
1881, his parents being Virginians. He
received an academical education at
South Bend, ard was fitted for college at
Chicago, but'did not enter. He began
the study of law in 1S49, and graduated
at the New York state law school in 1852.
He began to practice at South Bend, but
soon went to California, where he prac-
-ticed law for three years, when he return
ed to Indiana and resumed practice
there. In 1860 he was member of the
state senate, but resigned to enter the
army as colonel. He commanded the
Twenty-ninth Indiana volunteers, and
was soon placed in command of
brigade, serving under Sherman, Buell.,
Rosecrans and Thomas, receiving severe
wounds in the battles of Stone River and
Liberty Gap. He was promoted to
brigadier general, and in the battle of
Nashville commanded the left division of
5000 men. He was brevetted major gen.
eral for CONSPICUOUS bravery. At the
close of the war he was offered a high
commission in the regular army, but de-
clined it, returning to California, where
he was collector of the port of San
Francisco for four years; he declined q
disappointment. He was a Republican

ITS PRESENT CONDITION.

1t occurs to the WORLD that it has
more than thousand readers who would
like to know the present status of the
proposed improvement of the timber
culture and pre-emption acts:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.-The
house committee on public lands to-day
reconsidered the bill previously agreed
upon, to repeal the timber-culture,
presumption and desert land laws. A
motion was carried to report favorably
the bill to repeal the pre-emption law.
1t was then moved to report favorably
the bill to repeal the timber-culture law.
Mr.. Strait, as substitute, moved that
the law be amended so as to declare
the principle that, once a timber-culture
claim always timber-culture claim.
The object of this, Mr.. Strait said, was to
prevent frauds now arising from
taking up, and the subsequent
REIMBURSEMENT Of claims, for a consider
alton, to be entered as presumption or
homestead claims. The committee de-
cided to refer the matter to the COM
missioner of the land office, before reach
ing final conclusion.
OF these two laws, that relating to
timber-culture is the more vital. The
WORLD is opposed to its repeal. We de-
ny the right Of congressman to work for
its repeal, unless they have positive in
formation to the effect that a majority of
the people demand such action. It is
not to be denied that the timber-culture
law has been abused. What law has not?
No greater incentive to the growth OF
timber where it is most needed can be
devised than this same timber-cultu re
law. Ii is not to the prejudice of the
law that timber-growing on the plains
has been made only a partial success.
These failures are more fairly attribu-
tsbles to foibles Of Nature than to any
other source. Nature is being moderated,
even on these plains, as time passes.
With the destruction of the buffalo grass,
and the ushering in of seasons more
nearly favorable, tree culture will sue
coed better and better.
There are other methods of growing
timber, it is true. But, as rule, our
people have exhausted every proper
effort to cultivate timber on their timber
claims. Some have succeeded measure
ably. More have failed immeasureably,
perhaps After they have done their
duty in the best manner possible, and
have failed, they should be given future
chances. Let the plains be treated by
in as friendly manner as that
body treated the more-easily -made-beau-
tiful country to the east!

THE Hays Star Sentinel WI

THE Hays Star Sentinel, with a
perversity born of the degeneracy which
permeates every pore of the Republican
party in Ellis county, overlooks the fact
that to renominate Mr.. Howe, and not
McCabe, would cost the Republican
party thousands of votes, and proceeds
in condemnation of the idea of touching
the latter this year. We fail to see why
the Sentinel should not, if for no other
reason than to be consistent, include
Treasurer Howe in its structures.

OgaIlah Literary Union.

March II.
The o. L. q. met in regular session
last Friday evening, and was greeted by
crowded house.
In the debate on Woman Suffrage, G.
A. Hoar led off in a few happily
phrases, stating the question and some of
the leading arguments in favor of grant
ing to woman the exercise of the right of
suffrage. He was ably followed and Sec
onded by j. S. Smith, A. E. McCollum
and Mrs. Varnum. Smith argued from
the constitution of things and the mimi
table principles OF eternal justice. Nc
Collum based his plea upon the Bible.
For the negative, G. c. Yetter set forth
in cogent and forcible terms the leading
reasons why we decline to place in
woman's hands such weapons as the
ballot: It is inexpedient; fraught with
danger to the state, in that she is, as
class, ignorant of state craft; that she is
already sufficiently represented by her
husband and brothers; that her sphere
is the home, and mans is the struggle
and turmoil of public life; and finally,
that she herself does not ask it or want
it. MI. Varnum confined himself to ex-
posing the fallacies and motives that &C.
tuated Mr.. Smith. W. s. Knapp poured
ridicule and sarcasm on the so-called
''cause," and withal, being of religious
and contemplative turn Of mind, he also
marshaled the Holy Scripture against
the woman suffragists. In spite of all,
however. the judgment was given in
favor of the affirmative. BY,

THE STRIKES AND THE STRIKERS.
Every citizen of this government has
the law-given right to give decent ex-
preston to his opinions upon every pub
dc question.
1t follows that every journalist with
well-founded opinions concerning the
present strikes and the strikers ought to
speak of them in positive terms.
When laborers are banded together for
the purpose of seeing that they receive
for their labor what it is justly worth, we
have nothing but commentator for them.
When they reach the point of debating
to employers whether particular person
or persons shall be employed, retained or
discharged, they usurp the air OF the
despot, and the hands of every intelligent
lover of liberty are turned instinctively
against them.

PLEAD GUILTY,

The Wa-Keeney WORLD wants thu
state divided and suggests that what is
now the western portion, be formed into
a state to be named western Kansas
Brother Tilton, you are off; move the
capitol of the state to Ellsworth, the
center of our great state; and justice will
thereby be melted out to the state al
large and Ellsworth in particular. The
capitol of Kansas should now be moved
to Ellsworth, the center of the state, and
we are opposed to appropriating another
dollar on the capitol building in Topeka.
t kNsa'oyth Reporter.
Yes, we plead guilty. That is, we are
off-off badly when it comes to supposing
that anything in Kansas can prevent the
appropriation of another dollar on the
capitol building at Topeka.
Ellsworth, we allow, is lively town,
but she wasn't born for the capital OF
Kansas. If we thought she was, we
would sling our hat into the heavens, and
shout in behalf of the removal.
Much of the Topeka influence is as
mean as gilded sin. When, for instance,
we had the hardihood to demand can
didate from western Kansas on the state
ticket. that influence said, by its actions,
you can have him, but we will name him;
his color is black. Topeka influence
never would unite on Ellsworth for the
state capital. It would either keep the
{b;pp nv plopt n foo FOR uact tn do itool z
any harm. Wa-Keeney, We are satisfied
after figuring the problem up one way,
down the other, and across lots, would
be struck.
After doing this, the Topeka influence
would be ripe for the new state of West
ern Kansas. This would leave Ellsworth
out entirely. Topeka, having the build
ings, as well as location not very bad,
would naturally be made the capital of
what would be left of Kansas.
