TIE Republicans at Charleston came
within IN aco of electing an United
States senatorTuesday. The timely ar
rival Of a Democratic absentee is all that
prevented it. What fun we would have
had with the boys il Delegate Merrill
had not appeared. Tho Democrats
affect to be very indignant because, as
they allege, Mr.. Merrill was refused a
Fair, and this Indignation" comes
from men who have stopped to anything
to gain an advantage in their mad at
tempt to rape the constitution.

why the Year 1900 win Not BE Leap
Year:
rSt. Louis Republic. ]

ISt. Louis Republic.I
The following explanation will show
Won why the year 1900 will not be
counted among leap years: The year
is S65 days, hours and 46 minutes
long IL minutes are taken every year
TO make the year 1861 long, and every
fourth year we have an extra day.
This was Julius Cw,ar's arrangement,
az I explained In "Notes for the Curl
ous'' In the Republic of August "a.
You may ask uWhere do these III
minutes come from ?'' They come from
the future, aud are paid by omitting
leap year every 100 years. But II LEAP
wear 10 omitted regularly every one
HUNDRED years In the course III four nun.
dred years Il Is found that the IL min
utes taken each year will not only
have been paid back but that whole
dav will have been given up. Sc
Pope Gregory XIII, who improved
on Cmsar's calender In 1852, decreed
that every centurial year divisible by
four should be leap year after all. sc
we borrow II minutes each year more
than paying our borrowing back BY
omitting three leap years In three cen
turial years and square matters BY
having leap year in the fourth CEN
turial year. Pope Gregory's arrange
meut is so exact and the borrowing
| and paying back balanced 90 nicely
that we borrow more than we pay
back to the extent OF only one day IL
8, 500 years.

WICHITA'S VICTORY.

Under this heading the Coldwater
Echo publishes a synopsis of the decision
of the state board of railway commits
sioners in the now celebrated Wichita
freight rate case, and concludes with
this comment:
"This is manifestly of interest and i'm
mediate benefit to the people of the
southwest. Discrimination against our
nearest wholesale point of 20 per cent
means that much against our people; a
disadvantage to the merchant and taken
from the pockets of his patrons. Too
much praise cannot be accorded Marsh
Murdoch for attacking these unfair rates
single-handed until justice was granted.
Southwest Kansas is tired of building up
Missouri towns, and we hope that rates
will be SO adjusted as to keep Kansas
money in Kansas and not float it over to
Kansas City, No., whose journals repay
the debt by attempting to cast disgrace
on the fair name of Kansas, from the
days of the Lecompton constitution to
this the 18th day of June, 1889. We be-
lieve in the protection of home as against
the world in its greatest, grandest sense.
Kansas for Kansans in preference to
Missouri, now and forever"
How anybody in Kansas could ever
have held to any other opinion thad that
expressed in the foregoing barring the
personal allusion has always been queer
to us, but there have beensome, it
must be admitted.

A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.

Since the war broke out in 1860 the
population of the United States has
more than doubled. The growth has
been largely in the population of our
great cities. Chicago in 1864, twenty
five years ago, had population no larg-
er than Omaha has today. At that
time st. Joseph was the only considera-
BILE town west of Chicago, and st. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Paul, Mime
apoiis and Denver were only just MAX
ing beginning. Detroit was a city of
about 10000 inhabitants. Chicago and
st. Louis were the only considerable
towns west of Buffalo and Cincinnati.
The growth since that time has been
largely in the states west Of the Missis-
sippi and Missouri rivers.
Since 1864 the population of the Unit
ed States has been more than
doubled. The three great
branches of neutrality-suspicious.
and mining-have more
than kept pace with this enormous
growth in population. In all other
respects the general resources of the
country have kept abreast of the popu-
lation.
The time for the annual census is now
at hand, and the estimates of population
which the enumeration will show are
quite varied. Mr.. Elliott, actuary of
the treasury department at Washington,
the population in 1879 at 49,
$50, 200, and in 1880 at 100000. The
actual enumeration in 1880 showed it to
be so, 155, 1888. The accuracy of the fore
cast renders interesting and valuable the
of this statistican for the
following ten years, to June l, 1890,

THAT INDIAN OUTRAGE.

The details, contained in yesterday S
DISPATCHES, of the horrible Indian mas
sacre in Minnesota, the direct result no
doubt, as stated, of the excessive use OF
mean liquor, is deplorable and distress
ing in the extreme. The first thing the
government should do Is to hunt down
the miserable wretches who furnished the
Indians the liquor, which was IN viola
ton of wise and prudent laws, and sum-
marily dispose of them wherever found.
But for them the trouble would never
have occurred, and with them out OF the
way there is no likelihood Of its occur
ring again. Such creatures are greater
menaces to the safety of white frontiers
men than the most savage red skins
would be without such exciting and in
citing influence. 1t also impreSses the
necessity of Fastening the work of carry
ing into effect the policy of the govern
ment of allotting lands to the Indians in
thus breaking up the tribal
existence and nomadic habits of the In
dams extant. It may become necessary
in some cases to use compulsory meas
uses to carry out this policy, but it will
be mercy to the Indians to do so if it
should. Meanwhile, shoot the wretches
who persist in furnishing them liquor
whenever and wherever caught at it.
