THE Wichita Eagle twits Represent
alive Rice of Fort Scott with getting
onto democratic ground when he said
in a speech the other day on the beef
combine that 1--WE have been for the
past one hundred years building up
corporations and trusts and that the
time has come for reversing this order. 81
No matter whether it is democratic doc
trine or not, it is sound and practical.
The fact that it smacks of democracy
does not invalidate it. Besides, it is re-
publican as well as democratic. as Muir
dock win see by reading the state re-
publican platform of last fall pledging
the legislature to adopt measures such
as would put an end to trusts, and es-
pecially the beef trust. But Murdoch
is one of those shrewd and very cum
ming statesmen that think it smart
to hoodwink the grangers by bold and
naked lying.

THE Atchison Globe calls attention
to the case Of a business man in that
town who works industriously from
in the morning until 10 at night, and is
withal perfectly upright and honest
soul. Yet in spite Of his indefatiga-
BILE industry he has twice failed in bust
ness. There can be no doubt Of his hon.
esty, il after two failures he has little
or nothing. II he had settled with his
creditors at, well say ten cents on the
dollar he might now be rich and re-
spected and enjoy the reputation Of be-
ing shrewd business man as well. II
Jay Gould were an honest man, would
he be the:power he is in the landI An
swer for yourself. And yet if there be
a man living who can have no excuse
whatever for being dishonest, it is that
same magnate. His ability to get on
in the world by honest and straight for
ward methods Is exceptional. But be
and men like him care nothing for hon
est men. The latter are only milksops
in their esteem, who with little cod
ding are easily converted by them into
gudgeons to take the bait and be land
ed high and dry. The Atchison gro
Ger lacks GOuId's financial ability
| therefore has so much more need FOL
what is termed shrewdness. A judi
cious mixture of that desirable article
with his honesty would probably brinl
him to the front.

The Susllpor Spreading.


The smallpox pestilence is spread
ing. DIR. McCandliss said Saturday
that there were nineteen cases of the
disease in Bushong and that it is
thought to have broken out in a fami-
ly in Neosho Falls, where the man who
brought the contagion to this county
slept a night. There are a number Of
others who are likely to take down in
Bushong. One family that had it there
kept the fact a secret until one of the
children got so bad that they feared she
would die and the doctor was called in
and the case was made public. At the
same time this family is said to have
gone around among the people as if
nothing was wrong. The man was
here in Emporia last Friday transact
ing business. He did not go around
much. but that little may have been
enough to spread the disease in this
| city. The number exposed to the dis
ease in the first place is much larger
than at t1rst supposed. The cases
which were known of have been care
fully watched and kept from spread
| ing. These cases which have lately
broken out are being watched and cared
for, but it is not known how far the
disease may already have spread.

THE TIME9, APOLOGY.

So the London Times has had the
grace to apologize to MIR. Parnell, both
in It's editorial columns and through
Attorney General Webster, the chief
law officer of the crown. The Times is
just one hundred years old, having as
an obscure London enterprise received
the name it now bears in 1888 from its
founder, John Walter, printer. and
grandfather of the present editor,
whose name is also John Walter. Be-
fore many years it became, under the
father Of the present editor, the organ
of the government, and the foremost
journal in Christendom. Its great in
fiuence has ever been used in favor of
kingly prerogative, and the Times
is regularly warmed with his toast ev-
cry morning at the breakfast table OF
every English country squire and ur-
ban patrician. 1t has ever been the
bitter and unrelenting enemy of Ire
land, and Of every friend of that island
who advocated change in its manner
of government, or raised his voice in
behalf of the people. O'Connell was
stigmatized by it for years as traitor
and rebel, worthy only Of the halter.
But in all of its extraordinary career
of terrorizing and bulldozing, it has
never met with such downfall, or
been so shamefully Inundated as at
present. Its prestige and influence
have received a blow from the effect of
which it will not soon recover. 1t has
prostituted legitimate journalism in
its blind hatred of Parnel to the
basest uses. With incredible labor
and at vast expense, it dug a
pit for him into which he has tumbled
it. Lying at the bottom Inundated
and disgraced, covered with shame and
iGnominy it admits its fatuous stupidity
and confesses that its unreasoning ma.
levolence carried it too far.
Mr.. Parnell's attorneys charged be-
fore the commission that the Times
was in league with conspirators to ruin
their client. The editor says in his
apology that if there Is a conspiracy
the Times knows nothing about it,
1t is just possible that Sir Charles Rus
sell is prepared to prove a conspiracy
between the government officials and the
Times. II he is, then another humiiia
ton is in store for Mr.. Walter.
Mr.. Parnell's expenses in this outra
geous business have been enormous
His main reliance is upon the generos
ity of friends in this country who hav,
already done so much for him.. w,
understand that during the week con
tributions to the Post-Dispatch Parnel
defense fund have come to the bank
quit, freely. This is source of graf
IIication to every man and woman abb
to sympathize with an honest and feaI
less patriot struggling with his coun
, try's oppressors.

NOBLE PRENTIs cites the following
as an instance of the wisdom and sa-
gacity with which the legislature has
treated questions of great pith and mo-
ment to the state:
The senate, the other day, passed q
bill to send a representative to Paris
with instructions to write, in French, a
pamphlet about Kansas. A collection
of the speeches made in this legisla-
ture would make a pamphlet which
would forever suspend travel from
France to this republic, except in the
case of fugitives from Justice. If there
has been an hour since the present as
sembly assembled that somebody has
not alluded to the failure of crops fol-
three seasons in succession; the weight
of taxes and mortgages, and the rapac-
ity Of money sharks, then the writer
has listened to little purpose. And YET
a pretty steady fire of abuse has been
kept up, principally by the only class
of people on whom the Savior EVIL
seemed disposed to visit personal vic
lence, on a recent governor Of Kansas
because, before stepping back into the
ranks of the working, tax-paying PEG
pie, he alluded officially to these very
evils which now awake the thunderI
OF legislative eloQuence.

THE NEW CATTLE sYNDACATE
Apropos Of the talk about an Eng
lIsh syndicate that proposes to buy up
all the big breweries in this country in
the interest Of q colossal beer trust, news
came the other day Of another syndi-
cate in the east that proposes to estab-
lish enormous packing houses in the
west and get control Of the beef market
in the east. Millions of acres will he
purchased at various points in the west,
ten million of them being in Kansas,
on which the syndicate will raise its
own cattle. Whether or not there be
any truth in either Of these reports, We
cannot say just now. AS for the cattle
and beef business, another syndicate
more or less would not alter the present
condition of things very much. The
market is already absolutely inthe con-
troll of the packing houses who can do
with it what they please. Perhaps
when the business of raising cattle as
well as butchering them is taken from
the farmer by the packers, ne will wake
up and take steps to protect himself;
will sit down on the jay statesmen and
demagogues and elect lawmakers who
will look after his interest. But, until
the farmer is converted into door
mat, and every right and privilege he
ought to enjoy taken from him, he viii
endure with the meekness OF jackasi
every wrong and outrage put upor
him. Such tame and fatuous submis
siveness is extraordinary.
But when they do get mad, they viii
be mad all over. and in their awkward
efforts to regain lost privileges anC
better their condition, will cut sucl
monkey shines, and make such exhibi
tions OF themselves as will make then
ridiculous. That is the usual course
They are as stupid and awkward in re
dressing wrongs as they are tame an
spiritless in submitting to them.

CROWN OF Hair After peath.

A remarkable case of the growth of
hair after burial came to light last
week at the disinterment of the body
of AMI Coeyman, who died in Belle
vile over four years ago and was
buried in the old private cemetery of
the Coeyman family on the River road.
When Mr. Coeyman died his beard
was about two inches long, and the
hair upon his head was the usual
length worn during life. When the
coffin was taken up last week for re-
burial in Mount Pleasant cemetery it
was discovered that the beard had
grown to the length of two feet, and
that the hair upon the head had also
grown out of the sides and front of the
face, completely obscuring the latter
from view. When brushed back 1t was
found that not only the face but also
the body was in remarkable state of
preservation Nea0arI NeaOS.

IT was deemed wise to make some
alteration in the law fixing the age
of consent in order to head off the
blackmailer and adventures. The
venerable senators reduced the age of
consent to twelve years and thereby
raised such howl on. every side that
when the matter was brought up in
the house, that virtuous body taking
advantage of the popular gale blow
ing abroad spread ito sails and went
with it. Instead of amending the SEN
ate bill as it should have done, the
house sought to curry favor With the
public at the expense of the senate by
throwing the latter's bill ignominious
ly out. That would have been very
well, if another measure were substi-
tuted for it, making some provision 70
head off the schemes of the backmailer.
But nothing of the sort has been done,
and the matter will continue as it is
for two years more.

The Doors Bothered Him.

An elderly man, we'll but rather
somberly dressed. crossed Park row
from the post-office one afternoon re-
Gently and headed for a hotel near
Broadway. His progress was slow
and eccentric. but he soon found him
self in front of his destination. It hap
pens that this hotel has two entrances.
within few feet of one another, and
much alike in appearance.
The wayfarer paused in front of one
door, slowly read the inscription upon
it, and. with a satisfied smile, started
to enter. But the smile quickly faded
away. for as he took the first step he
caught sight Of the other door. He
hesitated a moment and then walked
over to the second entrance. There he
balanced himself carefully and smiled
once more as he spelled out the sign,
but again the smile disappeared as a
furtive glance showed him the first
entrance still in good and regular
standing.
The pilgrim backed out to the curb
and studied the situation. Beyond
question he could see two doors at
once and the fact seemed to annoy
him. After little reflection an idea
struck him. He covered one eve with
his hand and slowly turned his head,
bringing one door into range and then
the other. Next he took out pair of
glasses. carefully wiped them, and put
them on, but still both entrances APP
peared as plain as ever. His ingenuity
was baffled and be had to seek outside

The case of James Zeigler against
L. James for damages. amounting to
S121.70, occupied the court
all day Wednesday and the
jury will bring in a verdict,
it is thought, some time Thursday.
Some time ago these men were doing
business together in cattle deals, or as
it is claimed by the plaintiffs lawyer,
Zeigler furnished the brains and activ
ity and James furnished the money.
Be that as it may, Zeigler sold a lot of
cattle on what was termed and de-
cided steal. He was sent to the pen
itentiary but was pardoned out by the
governor. Now on bill which James
owes him he comes forward and claims
that owing to a partnership, James
was liable to the loss in the odttle as
we'll aS'he, and sues him for the &C
count of four dollars more or less and
one half of the loss on the cattle. II
