was dali at the opening this morning. First
prices as {. rule, were from b to Ii por cent
higher than last evenings figures, but in many
cases this improvement WAS wiped out in the first
few minutes trading. More strength was shown
in the general list later, and the small losses of
the early dealings were generally made mp but
there was no feature to the dealings, ard fluctus-
lions were confinsd to the smallest fractions. AT
II o'clock the market was very dull and at about

poor brother, then I cannot agree
with HIM. Not only must we have
moral suasion and public sentiment,
but some legal enactments. To meet
the combinations" and trusts of
the wealth gatherers, there must be
associations and combinations of the
wealth producers. Laws forbidding
certain modes Of acquiring wealth
must be enacted Interests must Op-
pose and conflict with interests until
there be mutual concessions, honor
able compromises, fair arbitrations
and ultimate cooperation. The COM
petitive methods, the 'individualism"
theory, the every-fellow-for-himself
practice must be abandoned or large
ly modified, and in their place must
be substituted the cooperative, the
fraternal, the live-and-let-live meth
DDS. Then when an injury to one is
the concern of all, when intellectual
and moral worth will be more highly
honored than great wealth, will that
glorious time come, spoken of by Mr.
Carnegie and desired by all who love

/ ity.

Statistics show that foreign immi-
grafton to this country is on the de-
cline, owing partly to the opening up
Of some of the South American States,
which offer even better inducements
than our own country, and partially
to the decrease in business activity,
manufacturing, etc. Perhaps if the
tide of foreign immigration reach
es a sufficiently low ebb, the business
of the country will become better, for
few dispute the assertion that large
percentage of foreigners bring moth
ing to this country and they are too
poor to buy and too INDECENT to en-
large upon the facilities which they
find awaiting them, and they natural
" drift along in the same condition
of uselessness and pauperism IN which
they were across the water. Hence
they become a burden to the country,
and by reason of the poor and cheep
+ labor Of those who will work, det-
riment to skilled and we'll paid labor,
| and therefore injurious to the manu-
featuring interests. And, too, most
of the foreign element that comes to
this country, is the saloon-beer drink
ing element, and when a saloon is To-
Gated on every corner and main thor
oughfare of our cities, and at every
cross roads in the country, legitimate
business is naturally paralyzed to a
greater or less degree, as the money
which goes to support this degrading
traffic would otherwise go for neces-
saries and healthful luxuries, thus
adding to healthful bushes what il
now detracts, and in a like ratio
And not only is money lost to the
best business interests Of the country.
| but so, also, is time and labor spent
in useless debauchery. While all OF
this evil should not be laid at the
door of foreign immigration of the
lower classes, much of it may be, and
doubtless the majority of the labOring
class of Americans are glad that for
eign immigration is declining.

Thirty New States in a Century.

Thirty New States in a Century.
The original thirteen States repre-
sented by the first Congress held I'M
der our present Constitution were ap-
propriately honored on the 4th
inst. by conventions held IN five new
Territories applying for admission
into the Union. The application of
four of those Territories have been
already granted, North and South
Dakota, Washington and Montana, by
Congress, and the people Of Idaho
held their convention to take the pre-
Eminary steps for the same purpose.
When these five new States shall
have been duly organized and repre-
scented In Congress it viii make thirty
States in addition to the original
thirteen that elected George Wash
ington President In 1883. This is a
good showing for a century, but
not better than that made in every
avenue of civilization, freedom, and
progress. Some of England's polIti-
cal prophets took delight at the be
ginning in predicting that the thirteen
would be an unluely number, and
that Americas free institutions would
not prove sufficiently cohesive tt
stand the strain for any length Of
time. The century's experience, how
ever. has shown, not only to England
/ but to all other enemies, that it was
decidedly unlucky 30 attempt to blOc}

When the immense wheat crop of
34OOO,OOO bushels, next to the largest
yield ever made in Kansas, was real
lied, it was greeted as a grand thing
for the state even if the corn should
be a partial failure. But Il month
has gone by and Kansas corn that had
a condition of94 then, is reckoned at
1O4, first in the country, now. This
plainly is a Kansas year. 1t will go
down to history with 1878 and 1884 as

give the state and for the farmers
prosperity. For every industry gets
its impulse from the farm.-Topeta

DANGEROUS USE OF STRONG PURGATlrES

Most pills. purgatyes. and Bitter Waters
which act quickly upon the bowels irritate and
often destroy the mucous coats OF the stomach
aud bowels. Indeed, their cathartic action is
directly caused by the irritation Of tho bowels,
which they produce. Thor action should Dc
soothing and stimulating instead Of Irritating.
continued use Of such remedies produces
chronic Inflammation of the stomach and bowels.
This often ends IN dangerous disease. The uso
OF The genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudol salt

The Fraedon of the Press.

Some OF our rtital contemporaries have joined
In tho chorus OF condemnation OF the United
States senate which resulted from that boeys
refusal 10 confirm the nomination OF MI. hal
YrKAp a. Minister 70 Germany, though the truth
n that the freedom OF the press was secured by
the rejection Of Mr. RALsTsAD a. the siIencing
Of the press was effected by the confirmation OF
the nomination OF Mr.. WHITELAw RID. Day
after day the Washington Post calls upon the
New York Tribune TO express an opinion In the
celebrated case OF " Haistead "a the Uniied States
Senate. - but not even an echo comes back from
the tall tower.
Country editors win be indignant when they
learn that the Chicago Tribune argues that mas
much as the great journals published In tho
large cities and commercial centres are diner
entity cireumstanced from the small week
IL newspapers OF the country tho precedent
which the senate sought 70 establish In the
HAIsTEAp caso must affect tho great papers
and the small papers In wholly different ways
TIE metropolitan journals" must preserve
their independence at any cost, says our Chicago
contemporary, but with tue country weekly
press the circumstances are different we quote
his compliment 10 our rural brethren:
"It would DO asking great deal OF the country
editor 20 crii-tse senators freely ana according
20 his honest judgment whom a coveted post-olice
was in ight and he hoped 20 have his name sent
sn 70 the senate and get 10 promptly confirmed.
The astonishing thing n that under tho clrcum-
Ftaures the country editors have preserved so
much freedom aud Independence OF action"
The reader will see that the Chicago Tribune
condemns the Senate. not because Mr.. HAL
fTEAps Independence could be destroyed or en-
aangered By an ything which that body could do,
but because tho poor little country editors can
not, as 1.-The immortal j. N" might have said,
stand the pressure" This presents the rsIec-
zion OF Mr. HAIsTsAD In new light and must
ppen the eyes OF the weekles In the country 70
their pitisble condition.
Seriously. the Chicago Tribune insults the
country pre0s In its lamo attempt 70 Justify Its
charge that the freedom of the press was me-.
paced by tho action OF the Senate In the HAL
srgAD case. Country editors are some OF them
not very rich, but all OF them are as "inde-
pendent as weodsswyer's clerk" They "gang
their attn & It," and they defy the Senate and the
House II Representatives and even the Supreme
Court OF the United States. Thoy do not speak
20 any ofncial anywhere with " bated breath and
whispering humbleness." bat, feeling the dig
nifty and Independence which their calling gives
them, they will talk back TO Mr.. WANA-
xAKER "or any other man" quite as boldly as
will Mr. MEDuLL. Mr.. HAsTEAD. or Mr.. REID.
Tho 7IibHns must try again. The country editor
