Maybe So, Maybe Not.

Atchisoa Champion.
The Wichita EAGLE contends in dis
cussing the capital removal question, and
in setting forth divers and sundry rea-
sons why Topeka must look ''leetle
oudt," that sit is impossible for city to
be both political capital and CONNER
cial city The EAGLE asserts that Wich-
ita does not want and would not have
the capital, but that Topeka must stop
slandering and working against other
cities of the state, or q movement will
be started which will result in the CAPT
tails being removed from that point" If
Topeka is guilty as charged in the in
dictment. she should quit that sort of
thing instanrer, but, so far as the contin-
gency of the capital being removed if
she does not behave, the Champion does
not believe that any such contingency
exists outside OF the brains of those who
feel aggrieved at the alleged course of
the capital city.

THE TREE QUESTION.

One of the most interesting statements
made by General Greedy in his paper be-
fore the Forestry congress in Atlanta
was that relating to the growth of forest
trees in the far west since the Indians
have been confined to reservations. Cen
eral Greedy says that within the past ten
years forests have sprung up III regions
that were annually burned over by the
Indians. This same state of facts was
demonstrated many years ago in west
ern Kentucky, that portion Of the state
between the Tennessee and Mississippi
rivers and known as Jackson's Purchase.
As long as the Indians remained III pos
session of the territory mentioned they
burned it over every winter, and as
consequence it had no timber, at least a
large portion of it, and when it was sur
veyed by the governments ag ents they
reported it as 'barren-unfit for cultiya-
ton" Since its settlement by the whites,
however, all of the land not put to cult
walton pat up voluntary growths Of TIM
Der, and some of it is as densely and
heavily wooded now as any of the orig
inal forest sections. The same results
would follow in this section in time, but
we cannot afford to wait the action Of
nature in this instance; we can secure
much quicker growth of trees by plant
ing them, which should be done by all
where needed

Salt in Rice County.

Topeka Capital
Hon. r. z. Bond of Sterling, who rep
resented Rice county in the legislature
several years, is in the city. He says
they have just made the discovery in
that county that they have valuable beds
of salt. 1t seems to be almost inexharst-
ible. The bed of salt is almost 800 feet
in depth and is believed to be about fifty
miles square. 4 strong local company
has been organized and the machinery
is now being put in which will turn out
tons Of the finest quality of salt every
day, They propose to operate the thing
on a big scale and Sterling Will no doubt
become great salt town.

THE TWO GREATEST PAPERS IN
KANSAS

Hon. Marsh Murdoch, of the Wichita
EAGLE, says truly that the political inter-
ests of state capital conflict with COM
mercial interests. Wichita, he says, does
not want the state capital She would
rather 90 on and develop her commercial
and manufacturing interests. The for
tunate editor of the greatest daily paper
in Kansas is level-headed We bow in
admiration before the CITY of the Plains -
Wichita has a great future. Let her 90
on and achieve her destiny. All Topeka
will rejoice, though her prosperity should
exceed the widest dream Of her own citi-
zens.-Topeka Democrat.

The more we learn of the facts and
circumstances of the municipal election
in Boston last week the more remarka-
able it becomes. 1t is stated that moro
than $4,000 women took part in II, brav-
ing the pelting storm that prevailed
throughout the day On no former oc
casion did over / 900 women register. but
this year the number reached 10000.
OF course the main interest lay in the
selection of the school board, which con

of the thirteen members who hold over
are Catholics and this was thought to be
enough. 1t is probable that all the new
ones elected are anti-Catholic, as this
was the line Of fight from first to last.
1t has been the most bitter contest ever
waged in in New England. it is said.
and will furnish many texts for the
future.
1t appears that the Catholic women
did not take so deep an interest in the
coneest as the ProteStants did. or were
counseled to make no demonstration.
The appearance Of these thousands OF
women at the polls wrought q political
revolution, The sight of these coming
with husbands and brothers and escorts

carriages andon foot entirely unattended,
was a spectacle long to be remembered;
At night they again went down TO

date cause OF this long excitement and

From Hartford, Connecticut, some one
sends us circular issued at Ness City
and signed "Ness County Bank which
circular conveys the impression that
Wichita is to blame for the damaging
report sent out about that county. We
never saw the dispatch, only heard of it.
The manager Of the Kansas and Missouri
Associated Press in a letter to the editor
of the EAGLE says the dispatch never got
into the Associated Press report and in
fact it never appeared but in very few
papers. At the worst there was only
one man to blame for the dispatch,
which man does most certainly not con-
stitute the city Of Wichita.
Why don't somebody go for that man

capturing the robbers and wreckers. The
Duck Hill, Miss, incident afforded some
thing of an exception, however, in this,
that the conductor made heroic effort to
defend the train and exterminate the

fault, nor that of his single assistant,

hope of securing booty from the express
cars is the Incentive to all these out

A ~TronbIesomc StnnIc.

Cotton is the most troublesome staple
of the worlds commerce. From the
hour of picking until the it
passes out of the loom as n fabric it is
susceptible of a million changes, each one
of which affects its value on the market.
n bale of cotton is so sensitive to heat
and moisture that the weight varies every
minute of the day, as you will find by
actual experiment. On this account
buyers and sellers are represented at the
congresses by men who are styled
'"wcighers, - but whose duties are some
thing more than recording weights or
checking off receipts. On their Judgment
the value of a shipment or consignment
can be increased or diminished by sew
cral hundred dollars, hence factories are
careful to place only their c~learest head
ed and most reliable men at the scales.
\ daub of mud at one corner of a bale
may justify rebates with one package,
while on another the sellers representa-
tive would not consent to any deductions.
The deletcrious effects of exposure to
weather can be estimated at q glance by
n slillful man, but, nevertheless, the pro-
cess of weighing is accompanied by moro
frequent contention than any other part
of the business. Then you must remem-
Der that if any crooked work has been
done, a bale of cotton can be traced all
the way from the mill througha hundred
hands until you finally reach the planter
who sold it in the first place. Globe
