"THE COMING ELECTION"

1t is time now to begin TO make plans
for the coming election and to devise
means for putting those plans into eXecu-
tion.-Laura NJ. Johns address to the
women of Kansas.
Yes, my dear, you bet it is time, and
high time. Another days delay and all
may be lost. Taxes and elections like
death and ocean tides cannot be stayed.
How light indeed weigh the demands of
home and baby compared to those of the
coming election" Colds and Group and
death may come, and babies may go,
who cares, and homes may become but
sleeping den, but, dear sisters, don't for
get the coming elections" Babies are
every day affairs and may De had for the
asking, but elections come but once or
twice a year. Babies are troublesome
and home is but another name for
'prison-house for woman" and we want
less babies and fewer homes-more cleo
tons. Aye, "devise means" and bring
on your plans, for this is the hour of ex-
ecution. Let Susan B. Anthony be our
model, our cry no more babies, no more
homes-only a whoop and hurrah for

AMERICAN FREIGHT.AND CANADIAN
RAILROADS.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Boston Commercial Bulletin.
The successful operation of the inter-
state commerce law has been to con.
siderable degree hindered by the fact
that Canadian railroads were not subject
to its provisions. Considerable business
has been diverted from American roads,
as the Canadian roads have been able to
offer lower rates. This has been the case
ON Canadian roads running from the
northern boundaries of New England
and New York to Detroit, and is also
true as regards the Northern Pacific road
from Victoria. British Columbia, to the
western and northeastern boundaries of
the United States.
On the former roads general merchan-
disc and agricultural products are car
ried, and the details of the competition
are quite familiar On the Canadian Pa
cific tea has been a great article of COM
petition. Formerly the American trans
continental roads had the exclusive
transportation of the great quantities re-
celved at San Francisco for eastern con-
sumption, but Canadian subsidy steam
ship line and Canadian state-aided rail-
road, which is untrammeled by the in
terstate commerce law and regulated
charges, are rapidly securing the cream
of the business Such competition is
unfair to American railroads and their
If the recent order of the
treasury department requiring payment
of duty on Canadian cars entering the
United States when carrying goods from
one American port to another is enforced
it will partially remedy the evil.

THE GRANDFATHER IN THE CASE.

Laura N. Johns is stirring up such of
her sisters in Kansas as ever bemoan the
fact that the only way they can ever
own a pair of breeches is to become mas
ter of the man inside of them, to s'turn
out and register" for the spring election.
Yes, things would all go to the bad, no
doubt, if these light-headed sisters who
believe that the Creator make mistake
in holding that a grandmother and a
grandfather are not one and the same
mortal model. Speaking of parents of
the third degree, Laura has never looked
far enough ahead to see that in case men
don't go out of politics when women go
in good many of the individual mem
bers of the political rings and circles of
the future viii, in the absence of duly
certified paper, be puzzled TO know who
their grandfather was, or their grand
mother, either, for that matter. If, to
anyone, this should seem little rough
before recording verdict let them note
the women who make politics business.
They can be found, in numbers, about
the lobbys and departments at Washing
ton and in the salons of Paris.

About Color Blindness.

Mr.. Hughes relates that while acting
Is assistant engineer on the Granton
railway he frequently returned on one of
the engines from Granton TO Edinburgh.
On these occasions he observed that, al
though his undivided attention was di-
rected toward the signal lamps, the
lights of which were visible to him a
long way off, he could not till he was
close upon them distinguish whether
they were red or green. These are the
two colors most commonly confused,
but happily they are visible to the ma
jority of color blind persons when
strongly Illuminated. Railway guards,
therefore, are less liable 20 mistakes by
night than by day. Inability to discern
any colors at all is very rare, and, 10
fact, has never been satisfactorily proved.
A color blind person may have as good a
sight in other ways as anybody else.
The defect is not occasioned by any
disease in the eye, but seems 10 have its
sole origin in the brain. 4 red green
blind person sees only two colors on the
spectrum; ali the colors on the side Of
the red warn colorsl are confused to-
gether and all on the side OF the violet
(cold colo-sJ, but the warm and the cold
are never confused Yellow is the one
color which is always distinguishable.
II Is a curious fact that color blindness
is often associated with corresponding
inability TO distinguish musical sounds.

The Burden of the Stirker.

The sticker is, believe, the appellation
by which the girl without chaperon is
known in the mystic circle of the boys
about town, The sticker. in her highest
forms, is something which freezes the
young blood of youth, and makes the
neatly parted hair of middle age stand on
end. She is, of course, not charming
She is apt to be old and gushing, and,
like the wicked, when she flies, no man
pursueth. 1t is just the opposite way.
If she has firm hold of partner, he may
as well give up all hope and cease for
ever to yearn for liberty. When he has
danced with her six consecutive times
and is arriving at the stage when one
foams at the mouth and dies, he says,
with icy quietude:
"Miss Jones, can l take you to your
chaperonY'
Il haven't got any" says the sprightly
creature.
They promenade round the room IN
heavy silence. The men whom the VIC
tim knows avoid his wretched, beseech-
ing eyes, and when they see his melan-
choly approach they dispense hurriedly.
He wonders if he couldn't suddenly
throw her down and rush madly out, or
wouldn't it be feasible to fall in dead
faint, overcome by the heat when the
Thermometer is far below freezing. Una
bic to bear it any longer, he stops short
and says, desperately:

She sees that she has reached the end

IT'S a LIE ON ITS FACE.

Our dispatches from Topaka yesterday
announce that the legislature, in order
to make the dressed meat bill go down
with the people, propose to leave its en-
forcement optional. Such a proposition
is an Insult to the intelligent people OF
Kansas. A law whose enforcement is
optional is no law. If the legislature
passes law creating over one hundred
new offices every place will be filled and
every officer will get his pay. Appoint
one hundred additional officers in Kan
sas for what? To look after her diseased
cattle! It's lie on its face. There are
no diseased cattle in Kansas and the leg
islature knows that there are none, and
one hundred salaried officers are not
necessary to tell the people that there are
no diseased cattle in Kansas. But it
seems we must not only submit to
diseased beef inspector in every town
and county in the state, but the salaries
of all these fellows must be paid. Pad,
and for what? Why, paid to throw
suspicion over and to Kill off one of Kan
sas' infant industries-an industry which
not only employs vast capital, but which
builds up great markets within our own
borders

Although one of the youngest states
In the union, and in spite of the notion
that prevailed for many years that the
lands of the state as whole would
never be of any value for agricultural
purposes, Kansas has already taken the
fourth place in the column in the aggre-
gate production of corn and oats. and
notwithstanding the failure of the wheat
crop for two or three years and its
abandonment in a large measure by the
farmers as a leading crop in conse-
qrence, the state holds eleventh place in
that cereal for last year, and with the
present outlook this years crop viii no
doubt bring us up 10 the third or fourth
notch. These facts taken in connection
with the recent development of sugar
and salt, and the encouraging start
making in developing the silk industry
and dairy products, its matchlesS trans
portation facilities and rapidly increas-
population, and Kansas cannot fail to
take and maintain in the very near
future position 1T the forefront of the
column of states. 1t must be in every
other respect what it is geographically.

Teton Folk Lore.

The following statements were made
by Rev. j. Owen Dorsey, in paper en-
titled Teton Folk Lore" read before
the Archaeological society. The mate
rial used IN the preparation Of this paper
was translated by Mr. Dorsey from a
collection Of Teton texts written by
George Bushotter, Dakota Indian.
The Tetons believe that the buffalo
used to dwell in subterranean lodges.
When one sees a Buffalo IN vision the
animal becomes his guardian. rendering
him almost invuInerable. putting "a real
buffalo inside Of him and comforting on
him the right to take part In the buffalo
dance. In the olden times there was
also another species of buffalo about
which marvellous tales are told.
On one occasion some Indians were
attacked by one Of these mysterious AMI
mails and one Of the party was killed.
But the monster walked four times
around the corpse ard said: "Ariser'
Immediately the dead man revived. The
monster said: Hereafter you shall be
mysterious. The sun. moon. four winds,
day and night shall serve you" trom
that time the man could assume any
shape.-Science.

Going Esop One Better.

In crowded street car well dressed.
rather foppish appearing young man sat
beside very shabbily dressed, tired
looking workingman. Every seat in the

1--WE shall find out who is the true gen.
tleman." The poor workingman and the
richly dressed fop both saw the woman,
and the latter fastening to rise, lifted
his silk hat with his gloved hand and
politely requested the woman to take his
seat. Unstable teaches that man may
occasionally be q gentleman, to the in
finite confusion Of moralizers, even
though he be well dressed dude. 1t
also teaches that the tired workingman
did quite right to keep his seat.-Buffalo
