JUDGING by the following extract
from the Kansas City News, it is
dangerous to be safe'' in the city of
hills and hollows:
So long as the footpads of the city
are left free to stop and rob citizens on
the chief streets at early hours of the
night, there is little likelihood that the
decision of the recorder permitting
citizens to carry pistols will receive any
serious criticism, except from those
captious critics, the police. 1t is. a
peculiar and significant fact that the
persons arrested for carrying concealed
weapons are usually those who go
armed purely for the purpose of self
protection. The notorious thug and
bully walks the streets weighed down
with pistols and is never troubled by
the guardians Of the public peace.
Doubtless This action of the recorder
will be made the pretext for bitter COM
plants by the police. They will again
raise the factious cry that the recorder
is discharging the crooks and bringing
to naught the strenuous efforts of the
police to preserve good order. But in
this complaint the police will receive
little public sympathy. When the foot
pad and not his victim, the thug anC
not the man who prepares to defend
himself from deadly assaults, is hauled
before the recorder and discharged il
will then be time enough to criticise the
recorders decision as subversive OF
good order.

THE Kansas City papers must be
interesting to their Kansas subscribers
just now. The morning dailies are
quarreling with each other as to which
originated the impetus which each now
claim as having started in the interest
of opening up Oklahoma, when the
fact is that hardly a paper in the state
of Kansas but has been advocating the
movement for a long time, and the
Kansas City papers have only fallen
into line when they observed that there
was now good prospects of success.
While the Kansas papers have borne
the brunt of the battle, the Kansas
City morning papers, like camp fol-
lowers, after the fight. claim that they
were the ones who gained the victory.
The evening papers, on the other hand,
are engaged in the hopeless task OF
removing our state capital from To
peka. To the morning papers we sug-
gest: Drop your quarrelling and &c
on assisting Kansas papers in opening
Oklahoma To the evening papers

On Friday evening, December %, We
had most pleasant entertainment at
the Maddox school house on Coal
creek. Much was the expectation Of
the young folks, for it was announced
that their old friend, Santa Claus, was
to pay them visit, and had also in
store for them numerous presents. For
the display of the same we had regu-
lar Christmas tree, and how it was dec
grated and loaded down was sight
worth seeing, waiting for their old
friend to come and distribute. The
entertainment consisted of songs and
recitations and was very enjoyable.
All of a sudden Santa Claus made
his appearance, dressed in fur, rather
white and oldish in looks, but strong
and active. Little Lem Maddox was
pretty well scared, but finally mustered
enough courage to touch the fur coat
with the tip of his finger. He was not
the only one that felt little shaky.
They soon made friends, the pack that
he carried on his back was opened and
the apples rolled out. Then there was
fun. When quiet was restored he went
about his work. It seemed everybody
was more than satisfied. The building
was crowded, but the best of order pre-
vailed from the commencement to the
close. AS neighborhood, we thank
the boys and girls for their zeal in their
good management and arrangement,
especially our teacher, E. Bamesber-
ger, in conducting the singing and other
exercises. He is good worker. Also
Miss Lydia Barthel, Miss Lizzie Jones
and Miss Sadie Jones for decorating
the tree. We will not name any of the
boys for fear of making them vain.

Albany's Baseball Scheme.

ALBANY, Nov. 1.-The meeting of base ball enthusiasts arranged for last evening was not very we'll attended, and those who did appear were disposed to be cautions in their manner of procedure. It was decided that unless 5000 could be raised over and above the cost of the international franchise it would not be advisable for an Albany syn dicate to take hold of it with any expecta- tion of success. As the meeting of the h. ternational association next week leaves but a short time for the workers to raise the re- quired amount, it was deemed best to adopt another plan for immediate action. This plan consisted in authorizing the sending of a letter to President Day, of the New York League club, with an offer of the grounds, free of charge, on condition that he would put the late Jersey City team of New York colts in Albany as member of the Interna- tional league.

Legislation Asked by the Farmers Con-

 TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 17.-At the Farmers congress of the United States many import ant resolutions were passed, some of them calling out warm discussions. Among them were the following: Favoring free coinage of silver; favoring the expansion of the medium of exchange; approving the policy of the government in improving the rivers and harbors of the country, and urging a continuance of the policy; indorsing boards of railroad commissioners; condemning the provisions of the national banking law which prohibit acceptance of real estate security for loans, and asking congress to amend the law so as to put real estate upon an equal footing with other property; recommending the enactment of equitable laws by legisla- lures regulating freight rates and govering railroads; recommending the enactment of a law favoring home market
 A resolution was also adopted opposing all combinations of capital in trusts or other wise to arbitrarily control the markets of the country to the detriment of productive industries, and demanding of congress such legislation as would secure to the farmers and stock raisers of the country the best pos sible reward for their labors, and demanding legislation which would prevent these trusts and combinations

Bookmakers' Alliance.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The American Turf congress unanimously adopted a resolution offered by Gen. Robinson placing the weights for 2-year-olds at 11S pounds, and for Swear olds at 122 pounds.
 An attempt to conclude the other matters before the convention failed, and to remedy affairs committee, consisting of M. Lewis Clark and J. B. Brewster, of the west, and D. D. Withers, John Hunter, J. G. K. Law renee, P. J. Dwyer and Charles Wheatly, of the east, was appointed to draw up full set of racing rules, including the suggestions of Thursdays conference meeting, and submit them, to the congress for approval. This committee reported later, asking for plenty of time for consideration, and it was there fore decided that the committee should meet Monday night, at 9 o'clock, in the Coney Island Jockey club rooms, and there com- plete their work, and soon as all is finished a convention of the congress will be called in some western city, probably Cincinnati, and the rules adopted or rejected.
 The next subject taken up was that of bet ting privileges, and after long argument the following was adopted:
 "Resolved, That the subscribing jockey clubs agree that no contract for betting privileges be made with any association of bookmakers or any member thereof"
 This means war to the knife between the racing clubs and the bookmakers' associa- tions. MT. Withers says that the effect of this resolution will be that in order to pur- sue their business on the race tracks book makers will be compelled to sever their con- nection with the Bookmalers' alliance and other similar associations.
