Commencing with tomorrow and for
fifty days the destinies of all Kansas
will be in the hands of body of men
gathered at Topeka, the great majority
of whom are inexperienced Legislators.
If this new element will but stand to-
gether and not permit themselves to be
stampeded on some question and bullied
generally by about a dozen who will ar
rogate much on account of experience,
everything viii work out right. 1t is
our experience that when 1t comes to
men Kansas averages up in wonderful
way, and that no one fellow knows it
all, but our experience viii not DO away
with the fact that a certain lot of fell
lows in Kansas persist in thinking that
they know it all.

The supplement of Harper's Weekly was
devoted TO an illustrated write-up of
Wichita last week. What does that sort
of advertising in the great . journal of

Burlington Republican.
AS to the cost to Wichita, not cent.
AS to pay, it viii be beyond question if
the scores of letters of inquiry that are
being received in the city daily, the re-
suit of said publication, may be taken as
evidence OF business to follow. This,
however, we again take occasion to say,
is but an incident to the publication
mentioned, and not the object thereof
To secure such a write-up as an adver-
tisement per Sc would no doubt cost
more than but few if any cities would be
willing TO pay.

A Remarkable Statement.

At the celebration of emancipation

progress of the race in that state since it
came out of bondage. He said: "On
January 1, 1868, the colored people of
the state were practically not worth a
dollar. while today their property is es-
timated at not less than $50. 900, 900, the
property of colored men in Atlanta alone
being over 100000, In morality, in
telligence and education the progress has
been equally wonderful" Instead of
complaining Of the slow improvement of
the negro race. perhaps it would be more
reasonable to recognize Its rapid
progress.

The Democratic papers of Colorado
are making all sorts of ugly assertions
concerning the election Of Mr.. Wolcott
to the United States senate to succeed
Bowen, charging fraud in the election,
ETC., etc., not exemptipg the members Of
their own party in the legislature from
participation in the corruption alleged.
The fact that the successful candidate
received the support Of the Democrats is
the only suspicious circumstance in the
whole matter to our mind, yet that can
not but be interpreted as compliment
to them, and to him unless he is verita-
BILE incompetent from whatever cause.

The royal pat way of life proceedeth,
From bearing thy cross with patience and love,
The star OF truth is the ore that leadeth,
Toward a truer, better life above.
And II unwilling thy cross thou Dearest,
Then heavier doth thy burden grow,
Cnfulflled duty's voice never spareth,
But Killeth thy joy wherever you go.
Hope not to escape for thou shalt never,

Though thou triest with LIES best endeayor,
Yet always there win thine own soul be-
Would thou loose LIES bonds and letters truly,
Then, thou must renonnce thysef alone,

With the active employment of the
electric current to remove its condemned
criminals instead of the old clumsy and
generally unsatisfactory scaffold and
rope, and the use OF the crematory in
stead of the grave for the disposition of
the remains of its dead, the atmosphere
of New York, both moral and physical,
should be speedily wrought to a state of
approximate purity. Scientists have
promised large things for the commu
nifty through these two agencies of puri-
fication, and it is peculiarly fitting that
they should be employed first in that
area where there is such a concentration
of material The effects will be watched
with interest.

A Suggestion for the Next Census.
h. Nd

A Suggestion for the Next Census.
From the Cleveland Leader.
The suggestion has been made that
the next United States census ought to
make careful inquiry into the actual
cost of all the railway mileage of the
country with view of making public
just what the true basis of charges should
be on different roads. The idea is a
good one, and it ought to be carried out
to the minutest detail practicable The
result, if the work were done by honest
and able men, would be of great value
in opening the eyes OF the country to the
extent to which railroad stocks and
bonds represent water, and to the essen
TALLY fraudulent nature of the common
practice of western companies which
capitalize prairie mileage, where grad
ing for the road-bed is like making a
common turnpike, at $40. 900 or $50, 900 a
mile. The true cost is not more than
$4,000 or $12, 900 mile at most. and
yet the public is asked to pay or per
cent interest on the securities" which
represent nothing but the expense of
having them printed. The railroads of
the United States pay altogether too well
upon their actual cost for Wall street
magnates to be willing that the real
state of affairs should be made known,
and the investigation proposed would
undoubtedly be embarrassed in every
possible manner. 1t ought TO be attempt
ed, nevertheless, and if it is begun we
hope that only first class men will be put
in charge of so important branch of
the census work.

terrible. Children in close rooms, breath

ng-overcrowding the same-rooms, with
no means of escape. 1t is not in the
power of the ablest physicians to save
life under these circumstances. The chill
dren are often swathed in clothes that
hasten their death They are bound and
wrapped by ignorant mothers as though
it were midwinter A physician might
remedy this. but how can he supply the

he can only shudder, pass on and hope
that after all there may be sound philos-
