REDUCED Rates.

J. w. Hamilton, vice president Re-
publican National League for Kansas,
is in receipt of letter from the Santa
Fe, which guarantees delegates and
others wishing to attend the league
meeting at Topeka on the 21st instant,
a one and one third rate for the round
trip.
The following extracts are taken
from the letter: The rate is made on
what is termed the certificate plan
that is, parties who hold receipts from
railroad agents at their home stations
(which will be given on application) to
the effect that they have purchased a
ticket to Topeka at full rate, will be
sold return tickets by the railroad
agents in Topeka for the same route at
one-third fare. All parties who wish
to avail themselves of this offer, will
procure from the agent at the starting
point receipt for the full fare to To-
peka, as without this receipt the Tope-
ka agent will not be authorized to sell
the return ticket at the reduced rate.

Two SIDES 10 TIE sTRlKE.

Quite a number of exchanges are
worrying over the alleged insecurity of
capital if, as is claimed the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers can,
as has been threatened, paralyZe the
entire industry of the country in order
to win their strike with the G. B. s. q.
And there is subject for deep thought
in this matter. For what person,
even among the engineers and firemen
themselves, would care to invest their
money in any enterprise where the
price of the goods they bought was die
tated to them by one party, while
another party dictated the selling
price.
This really is the position in which
all railroad corporations are put
should their workingmen be able
to carry their point in the
present difficulty, as this would
virtually be fixing price for the
goods they have to buy, while the sell
| ing price is fixed by the law of the
state. For instance, Kansas fixes pas
senger fares at three cents per mile,
and freight rates are fixed just as arbi-
trarily. The consequence will be that
with labor debating on the one hand
and the state debating on the other,
| the roads may be put in bad box, and
| if the thing is carried to extremes
both labor and the state may be put in
the condition of the woman who kiliei

there is another side to this c., b. Il q
strike. and one which perfectly justi-
fies the brotherhoods in all their de

corporation is one of the largest
wealthiest and best paying corpora
tions in the United States, and cal
and should equalize payments as de
manded by the engineers, because al
most every other road in the country
can and does do so.
Il Surely what other and less wealthy
less paying corporations find to be fai
and just, should commend itself to tn
J So system, in justice to its patrons

reason.
Because the Brotherhood is might

the entire country is no good argu

No. The demands made by the Ell

right, and when the 60" road refuse
to settle the matter by arbitration tt
s entire blame must be thrown on til

the opinion that the opening of Okla
hcma, as proposed by the Springer bill,
would be greatly to the interest of
Kansas City, Missouri, and perhaps a
few towns along the southern border of
Kansas, as these would act as supply
stations for Oklahoma. But as to the
interests of the state in general, and
especially the western portion of it,
think the opening of these lands would
be very much against those interests,
as it would turn aside, for several years

materially helped to make Kansas what

These facts were brought out by bill IN

Wouldn't it be a good idea for our
next state legislature to pass a law
making the taxable valuation of unim-
proved land in the hands Of spectators
about on par with the figures they
hold it at? Our city would do well,
also, if it would place higher tax on
valuable unimproved lots that are held
at high prices by a few wealthy men,
who thus retard the growth of the
place. In connection with this. why
would it not be well to put premium
on building, by not increasing the taxes
on a lot wherein any person builds
himself or herself home? Our city
assessors attention is called to the
above, as it is an actual fact that IN
Emporia house and lot can, in many
instances, be purchased for about the
same sum as is asked for adjoin-
| ing vacant lots. The reason Is
obvious. The vacant lots are In
the hands of men who can and
do hold them at fancy prices, while
they pay taxes on them only at nom
inal valuation. The taxes on them
should be increased. sidewalks anC

pie What agonies have not been en-
dured in witnessing some young lady
or gent wrestling unavailingly with the
leg or wing of bird, in vain attempts
to obtain some nutriment therefrom
with the aid of knife and fork alone.
What a relief it will be to those who
have been in the habit of starving
themselves when dining in company,
rather shan violate the supposed de-
crees of politeness, to know that they
can now with perfect impunity tackle
a chicken wing with both hands, and
teeth, if necessary:
There are number of things that
the most fashionable and weil-bred
people now eat at the dinner table with
their fingers. They are:
Olives, to which fork should never
be applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold,
when served whole, as they should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped in
the dressing, or in little salad.
Celery. which may properly be placed
on the table cloth beside the plate.
Strawberries when served with the
stem on, as they usually are IN the
most elegant houses
Bread, toast and al tarts and small
cakes.
Fruit of all kinds, except melons anG
preserves, which are eaten with

Cheese. which is almost invariably
eaten with the fingers by the most par

The language quoted. in the con-
densed report furnished by the Associa-
ted Press of Senator ingalls, speech OF
last Tuesday being somewhat incor-
rect, and calculated to do the senator
injustice by making him responsible for
what he in fact did not say, we have
taken the trouble to hunt up his exact
words regarding General Hancock and
others. He was speaking about the
hypocracy of the democratic party. He
said: ''They thought they could fool
the northern people by voting for a
union soldier. But they did not. We
understand very well what the voting
for General Hancock meant. 1t was
just the same as voting for Horace
Greeley. You have been engaged in illic-
it intercourse with all the degraded ele-
ments of the north for the last twenty
five years. The democratic party at
tempted to delude the north by nomin-
ating and voting for Horace Greeley,
to show that they were reconstructed
that they would fain I'LL their bellies
with the husks that swine did eat and
they could not. And then the senator
from Alabama (Morganl rises and as
sures us with a suffusion of patriotic
loyalty that they voted for Hancock.

why they voted for Hancock. We
know why Hancock was nominated

Notwithstanding the bad roads of

ers were at the Garfield building at the
opening of the meeting
In the absence of the secretary, Miss
Lille Clark of Americas was chosen to
fill the place for the afternoon.
The discussion on what constitutes
wise temperance teaching in the schools
occupied most of the first hour. Those
who had been assigned to the topic
chose sides as they pleased. Mr.. b. C..
Meskimons affirmed that it was proper
to present the matter fully, frequently
and forcibly. Messrs. Howell and
Spiker thought there might be danger
of going to extremes in the matter.
Prof. Dinsmore was called out at the
close and gave some suggestions, and
Messrs. Breed, Phillips and others
took part in the discussion. Messrs.
Billie, Rhodes and Phillips sang
There's Many a Slip" ETC., to the
great satisfaction of the audience. An
other exercise which proved very inter
esting was Mr.. Lawton's paper on per
centage and its applications.
The chief business of the day grew
out of Miss Dixon's bringing up the
subject of gradiag the district schools.
She announced that the county COM
