X. G. Star. 1T is alleged that the
barbed wire trust has augmented the
cost of that commodity to consumers at
the rate of IS per ton. The rods which
enter into the manufacture of this val
uaple fencing material are protected by
a duty or more than Sl3 ton, 40 that
foreign barbed wire is excluded from
competition with the new trust. The
farmers of Kansas and of other agricul-
tural states which sustain the policy of
protection are thus enabled TO see how
much they pay for the privilege of
voting against their own interests

There is nothing in the constitution
or laws of Kansas requiring the voters
of Barber county to supply w. T. Rouse
with a big, fat office for lifetime. He
no doubt makes an accommodating on

any way than Louis Bissantz. Then
why not let Bissantz have the office
awhile on the very liberal terms he suR-

The only thing the Cresset has found
against MIR. Reagin, candidate for COM

he is never hard or harsh with his chill

PrOhibltionists will please observe
that dozens OF saloons are running wide
open in Leavenworth. D. r.. Anthony,
president of the board of police com
missiOners, and the only man who can
force them to close, says, 'let them run;

hibition party. If open saloons help
prohibition, then hypocrisy is virtue.

Her Life as Social Leader Gives
Her No Rest.

than three times week unless some
thing of extraordinary occasion turns
up"
Among her jeweled knickknacks,
Mrs. Mackay had dainty parasol
with a tiny open-faced watch snugly
fixed into the silver handle SO that she
could know at a glimpse what the
moment was, for in such life as
leader of fashion pursues her hours are
as methodically apportioned to teas
and dinners and the rest of the diver
sions of society as those of business
man are given to more solid affairs.
The watch could be wound up by turn
ing the silver knob which served as the
head of the handle.

the supper party. He lay over the rail
abreast of the wheel, and | could hear
him quietly singing. The lanterns
burned brightly; against the brilliant
atmospheric haze of moonshine to lar
board cardboard was then the word
the bunting which walled the poop
glistened like oiled paper. The mo-
notonous voice of old Bow was still re-
turning thanks below: again and again
his deep sea notes were broken By loud
cheers. The life under decks, the
speechifying and the huzzahing there,
the brightness of the light, the frequent
chink of glasses, put a Wild sort of
knocking look into the emptiness of
this deck with its lanterns swaying to
the roll of the ship, and the mosionless
figure of the steersman showing unreal
like some image of the fancy down at
the end of the vessel, through the vista
of bunting and Kaleidoscope light and
white awning framing star-studded
square of dark ether over the taffrail.
Yet | still wanted air. The poop was
smothered up with flags and canvas;
the cross jack was furled, spanker
brailed up, and the mainsail hung
from its yard in festoons to the grip
of its gear. There was no wing of
canvas, therefore, near the deck to fan
draught along and SO it came into
my head to jump aloft and see what
sort of GOODNESS of dew and night were
to be had in the maintop. / got on to
the rail and laid hold of the main
shrouds, and leisurely travelled up the
ratlines. Methought it was as good as
climbing hill for the change of tenn

of the futtock shrouds went through
and through me in a delicious chill,
and with the smallest possible effort /

and stood upon the platform. raptur-
ously drinking in the gushings of air

declare that the Negro shall not
ENJOY these malaienable fights:
ana oy crime and fraud consum-
mate their purpose.
Normally the Negro is made the
scapegoat. But the principles in.
volved overshadow him individ-
ually and as a class. 1t at once
becomes a question of National
Importance. 1t strikes at the
corner stone of the Government,
viz; the untrammeled expression
OF the popular will. 1t resurrects
issues that were slain and buried
a. Appoomattox, and practically
questions whether popular Gov
ernmant is not failure.
The Nation is slowly but surely
drifting to criss which may be-
come catastrophe which can
only be averted by a resolute, un-
ttlnching determination on the
part OF the Government to uphold
the majesty of the law in every
section of the country.
The permancy of a Republican
form of Government, the life OF
the Nation, depends upon the su
premicy of the organic law in ev-
cry seetion of the country, There
can be but one Interpretation and
uniform application of the laws
to all classes ofcitizeis throughout
the length and breadth of the
land. Herein lies good Govern
ment; and where the application
of that priecipal fails, the govern
ment fails. The exigencies of the
situation are imperative that the
travesty upon justice, upon the
suffrage of the people, this sitting
of the zoe pOpuH must cease
Therein is the great danger to the
permanency Of our Republican
Institutions and not in Negro
domination, or any other ill>dis-
guised pretext for disloyaltv, law
lie sness and crime.
As a means to secure our 20
litical and civil rights, and per-
feet equality before the law, there
must be intelligent, broad thor
ougn organization; unity of pur-
pose and action, backed by the
highest, best ard noblest aspira-
tons and impulses,
Among those who discussed the
paper were lawyer T. R. Holmes
J J. Johnson, Rev. Cowles anC
others. The discussion was very
lively and interesting.
