he should understand at once that he can never
get it far on its way into the statute-boOks

must abandon the secretive methods he has
been employing. This bill avowedly changes
the character of our revenue laws 1t intro

make its terms and purposes clear TO the public.
Mr.. Mills and his colleagues must get ready to
answer questions.

The right Of the property-holder as against the
encroachment OF an elevated railroad company
has been upheld by decision of the Supreme
Court. in Brooklyn. The court decides that the
company cannot erect its structure over side
walk in making o curve from one street to an
other, inasmuch as this is not necessary, and the
road can be built without encroaching on private
rights. This appears to be an equitable decision
The company simply wanted to save itself little
trouble by running over sidewalk, and was en-
tirely willing to shut out the light from the oc-
cupants of the adjacent buildings. The public
will be glad to see o few decisions like this

The Court of Appeals is welcome in New
York City after an absence of all too many
years Everything should and doubtless will
be done to make the courts visit pleasant and
profitable. It's members should be convinced
that Albany and Saratoga are not the only
towns in the State in which they can be happy
and useful, and that an occasional stay in the
city from which they receive their most difficult
and delicate cases is productive of good results.
They have not been here before as court
during this decade, and they should be made
to feel that similar neglect of us will involve
to themselves personal loss socially and pro-
fessionally.

Representative Hovey in the recent pensions
debate in the House, contrasted the conduct Of
the first and the last President in dealing with
the Unions defenders. He quoted from Sparks's
edition to show how Washington at the head of
a Nation, with an empty Treasury, without credit
with worthless currency, and sparsely settled
country, begged insisted and commanded that the
officers and soldiers who served under him should
be pensioned with full pay during life. AS o
foil for Washington he presented Mr.. Cleveland
with his sarcasms and yetoes, stubborn, stern
and heartless, refusing n mite of charity to
the men who wrecked their fortunes and their con-
stitutions that our Government might live" and
opposing pensions when the country contains n
population of 63 900, 900 and the Treasury is filed

hand and with merciless satire, Mr. Hoveys
final excuse for the Presidents want Of feeling
being the fact that unlike Washington, he had
never known what the services and sufferings OF
a soldier were.

CORN rs KING.

An estimate of the crop of the United
States for 1888, which will appear in
the Farmers Review for October 10,
will place the yield at over 1000, 600, 900
bushels. The increase which these fig
ures represent as compared with the
crop of last year is confined almost en-
tirely to the seven greet corn states
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska. In Missouri
the acreage is 6 ,595 1888 with an average
yield of thirty-six bushels to the acre,
making total of 237 ,563, 64S bushels.
In Kansas the acreage is 5 ,269, 9S7, with
an everage yield of twenty-nine BUSH
els, making total of 1853 ,269 1923 bush
els. The only states which lead Mis-
souri, in their total production are I'LL
nois and Iowa, they exceed her both
in point of acreage and average
yield. The highest average yield
is in Ohio, which reports forty-four
bushels to the acre. Indiana and Iowa
both report forry-one bushels to the
acre. Illinois thirty-one, and Ne
braska thirty-seven. The low average
in Kansas is due this year to the
almost total failure of the crop i'm
many of the western Counties of the
state, and the fact that she makes as
good a showing as she does is due to
the fine crops which were raised in the
counties east of the middle line of the
state. The figures, therefore, this
season do not fairly represent the
agricultural resources of Kansas,
and must be considered IN connection
with the peculiar climatic conditions
which have effected the crop in that
state. The enormous aggregate yield
of corn throughout the country is
already exerting a perceptable in
fiuence upon trade, and is an impor-
tant factor in the existing conditions
Of business prosperity.

WHERE IS SUNRISE?

/ Question Easily Answered Tuesday He-niug.
A doctor with peculiar name and q
more peculiar makeup has been stay
ing at the Commercial hotel about a |
couple or weeks, and he seemed law
abiding until Monday when he filed
up on ''tangle-foot." Late in the even
ing he made up his mind to go back to
his first love. Topeka. When he packed
up his trunk he told the landlord in
very stern language that every hotel in
the state owed him four weeks board
and said he would come back in a few
days and board out the other two
weeks due him. The proprietor OBJ
jected and sent for an officer. DR..
Othello Sunrise, for such lis his name,
forthwith settled his bill and in COM
pany with the officer procured a ticket
for the capital city. No sooner had he
boarded the train than he commenced
cursing and bowling. The officer at
once arrested him, and after searching
him put him under the court house.
Tuesday morning he was as docile as a
child. His dark counJenance reminded
one of the other ''OtheIlo'' suffering
from distrust of the fidelity and viz
tue of a.''Desdemona. The long hair,
tall hat and medicine case, however,
dispersed this idea.
PRESTO! CHANGE.
The doctor, after receiving his fine
of IS and costs, concluded to
wreak his vengeance oHt on somebody
and straightway sWore out a warrant
for S. E. Knapp, Freme Horn and Mel
lie Drew, three employees of the Com
mercial hotel, charging them with a
violation of the laws of the state and
city. They were taken before judge
Evans and heard the charge read. All
pleaded not guilty, and as the deputy
county attorney could not be found
they were released on their own recog-
nizance until 2 o'clock Monday after
noon.
AT noon the proprietor of the same
house, John Patterson, was arrested
for setting up and keeping house con-
trary to law. He gave bond for APP
pearance Tuesday afternoon.
At 2 o'clock the three women APP
peared before the justice and plead
guilty, receiving fine of $3.50 each
and costs. They were given couple
or hours to pay the amount. AS the
city marshal was taking Sunrise to jail
for dinner, he asked permission to
drink a glass of cider to brace up his
appetite. He drank a small quantity
and before they got him to jail the doc
tor was too drunk to walk. He still
languishes and his name now seems to
be Sunset"
This is the story as gathered by the
reporters. Mr.. Patterson, proprietor
of the Commercial House desires us to
say that the three women arrested are
not employees of the hotel; that they
were simply day bOarders, having
rooms elsewhere, and that the house
is entirely respectable in every way.

The appointment by Judge Brewer Of !
Hons. II. G. Cross. of EmpOria, and
Geo. A. Eddy, of Leavenworth, re-
ceivers of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railway, viii be received with |
great satisfaction by all Kansans who
are acquainted with those gentlemen.
and know the reputation maintained
by them for integrity and business
ability.
Mr.. Cross is especially fitted for the
difficult task assigned him by Judge
Brewer, not only by his great executive
ability but by experience. He has
been resident of Kansas for over
twenty years, and is thoroughly famil-
lar with the state. For the past fifteen
years Mr.. Cross has been director OF
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
way, AMI has had further experience
as the president and superintendent of
construction of 125 miles of road.
1t can be said that both appOintees
are thoroughly competent and able
men, we'll qualified to I'LL positions to
which they have been called. They are
Il
whom the stockholders have full conf
dence. Judge Brewer can be congrat-
ulated by the people of Kansas on these
appointments.
We are inclined to think that the
Missouri, Kansas s. Texas railway is
likely to prove an exception to the his
tory of railroads passing into the
hands of receivers, True, this road
has sadly suffered from the manipula-
tiOns of Jay Gould. Through the mach
nations of that prince of railroad
robbers, this road has been paralleled
to make it unproductive, its rolling
stock has been permitted to run down,
the road bed is out of repair, etc. But
in spite OF all these disadvantages we
believe this unfortunate railway can be
lifted out of its embarrassments and
placed upon paying basis.
If it can be done we believe II. G.
Cross is the man to do it. We believe,
hOnorably identified as he is with Kan
sas, resident of the Neosho Valley,
which is threaded by this railway, his
highest ambition will be, not to make
money, but to rescue this great railway
system from financial wreck.
Messrs. Cross and Eddy will have
some things in their favor. The road
runs through highly productive por
ton of Kansas, fertile valley that can
furnish much local business for the
road. In this favorable judgment we
are confirmed by chat with Capt. A.
SOmmers, of the Santa Fe, who for
many years was a Commissioner of the
land department of the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas, and who is thoroughly
familiar with all the resources and pos
sibilities of the road. Captain Som
mers thinks there is a chance, by util-
izing in the best possible manner the
splendid advantages possessed by this
railway system of over seven hundred
miles in length, to rescue it from its
present slough, and place it on paying
basis, and Hon. H. G. Cross, he thinks,
Is just the man for the task.
The future of the Missouri, Kansas
s. Texas railway, under the charge of
receivers, will be watched with deep in
terest by the people of Kansas.-Tope-
ka Kansas Democrat.
