The consolidation of the Topeka Capt.
tai and Commonwealth into the Capital
Commonwealth under the ownership and
editorship of that veteran in the service,
Maj. j. X. Hudson. is bound to be pro-
ductive of much good. not only in the
city Of Topeka. but throughout the state.
Already the Capital Commonwealth is
reaching out into and developing fields of
journalism that the incessant wars be-
tween the two papers prevented either
from undertaking. The press dispatches
are as full and complete as they appear
in the press of metropolitan cities. while
the editorial page is now devoted to bull
ding up republican principles. and on
such subjects as are of general interest
to the state, rather than internal city and
business differences. We welcome the
Capital Commonwealth as it reaches our
table day by day. and bespeak cordial
support throughout this part of the state
to Major. Hudson's enterprise.

Commissioner Bradley was in town on
Tuesday. He went to Colby, where he
was joined by commissioners Sims and
Dermot. Together they examined the
Jail at Colby, and may secure similar
one for this county. We have already
incurred as much expense in carrying
prisoners to and from jails in other coun-
ties and keeping the prisoners, as a Jail
would cost. We believe it true economy
for the commissioners to purchase Jail
similar tn that of Colby But another thing
the commissioners should do. Life in Jail
should not be fraught with terrors, nor
be sinecure; prisoners under sentence
should be made to work. Nothing will
keep tramps out of Logan county more
effectually than the knowledge that if ar
rested they must work; and to most of
the inmates of county jails work is an
abhorence.-Oakley Opinion.

The Board of Directors of the State
Historical Society met at Topeka last
week to act upon the Sixth Biennial Re-
port of the Society. which has been pre-
pared by Secretary Adams, and is soon
to be published. This society is Masking
up for the people of Kansas a remarkable
library of history; chiefly of history of
Kansas, and largely of the local history
of every county in the state. 1t gathers
up whatever is printed in every town, in
Guiding the regular issues of over eight
hundred newspapers. Of Thomas coun-
tv newspapers it has now on its shelves
in the State House eight bound volumes.
extending through the entire period from
1885 to the present time. 1t has 5775 vol
umes of Kansas newspapers. including
those first issues in Kansas Territory. in
1854. and published through ell the earli-
est years of the Territory and tho State.
1t has now nearly fifty thousand volumes
of books. pamphlets and newspaper files.
and countless number of manuscripts.
pictures and other materials of history.
The library and collections are the prop
erty of the state, and it is safe to say that
the state is saving no other property
which will prove to be of 80 much value
to the people for all time.

We are going to have an immense wheat

be an eye opener. Judicious farming
next year will also produce big crops of
other grains. which will help on the
