A SNIDE CORPS,

They have weather signal corps at
Topeka, supported by whom and res
ponsible where, we do not know, but
we do know that they are considerably
off, probably being run by grapevine.
1t claims to spread all over the state,
but can hardly reach farther south than
the Shunganunga or north and east
than Soldier Creek. In their last report
they say that the deficiency of rainfall
in Southwest Kansas has effected the
Arkansas river and coupled with the
high winds is proving unfavorable to
the corn. AS for the Arkansas river it
has had more water this spring than for
three years, and both the Great and Lit
tie Arkansas rivers are nearly bank full.
As for the winds, Topeka is VIGOROUSLY
the most windy place on the American
continent. Wichita has government
signal station which receives reports
every day from every part of the coun-
try. The Wichita signal station showed
that the late high winds prevailed from
the Mississippi river to the base of the
Rocky mountains and from the Gulf to
the British Possessions, and no where
did they blow harder than in Topeka,
the Stafford county tornado excepted.
Topeka's signal station would do well to
post up or otherwise confine itself to

HEADING FOR WICHITA.
The Kansas City, Lawrence 81 Wichita

| Some weeks since, on receipt of what
was considered reliable information, the
EAGLE announced that the Wyandotte
& Northwestern railway had purchased
the Lawrence & Carbonate road and
would proceed to link its line with the
latter and then extend the latter on to
Emporia and to Wichita. The matter
has had no further publicity since until
now. The Kansas City Times says:
1.-The Wyandotte & Northwestern Of
ficials have filed with the secretary of
state an application for the incorporation
or the Kansas City, Lawrence & Wichita
railway. 1t is to run from Tonganoxie
and Carbondale, and will build from the
latter point to Wichita.
General Superintendent Summerfield
will go 10 Carbonate Tuesday night and
meet with the city council of that city
on the question of right of way
through the town. He will also go to
Beatrice, Nebraska, next week to confer
with the city council of that city rela-
tive TO the extension of the north branch
of the line to that point. The city of
Beatrice proposes to give the road a sub
sidy of $4,000. The Northwestern is
branching out in every direction and will
eventually become a great system.
The Emporia News supplements the
Times with:
Now is the time to secure another rail-
road connection with the great city of
the southwest. Emporia is unfortunate
in having but one railroad connection
with Kansas City. People who want to
go in that direction have but one choice,
either to ride over the Santa Fe or walk,
whichever suits them best. 1t is the
same in regard to shipping goods. There
is no choice of routes. Nearly all of the
feasible approaches to this citYhave been
gobbled up by the one great corporation,
and every attempt of the people to loosen
the grip of this monopoly from their
Threats heretofore has proven futile.
The county has twice voted bonds TO Boz
gus railroad schemes, both OF which We're

MOVING TO TOWN.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
From nearly every part of the country
the report comes that the farmers are
moving to town.
In Georgia there is steady growth of
the towns at the expense of the rural
districts. The same is true of other
southern states, and especially of the
black belt. In New England the farm
ers are drifting to the towns and renting
out their farms, or going west. But the
west is no better. According to the Chi
cage Herald, over 300 prosperous farm
ers in Sangamou county have rented out
their farms and moved to Springfield.
About as many farmers in Rock county,
| Wis, have moved to GAINESVILLE. In
nearly every county in the older western
states the large farmers have cut up
their sarms and leased them to tenants.
1t is believed that the coming census
will show an increase of fifty per cent
| in the number of tenant farmers in the
west.
= A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says that twice before in the
! history of the world there was a similar
desertion of the country for the towns.
Just before the decline of the Roman
Empire the wealty farmers flocked to
the cities. Before the French revolu-
ton the land owners deserted their es-
tates and moved to Paris The removal
of the owners of the soil from the
country districts produced bad effect.
Agriculture ceased to advance, crops
fell Off, and commerce declined. Town
and country people were divided into
two distinct classes, differing i'll wealth,
culture, dress and appearance. The
country was abandoned to a class OF
tenants who cared nothing about pro-
gress and civilization. After awhile
clashing interests brought on civil strife
and a new order of things
1t is not an encouraging sign to see
in this generation a repetition of chap
ter of the calamitous history of the Old
World. One hundred years ago our
culture, were nearly all country gentle
men. Now the members of the govern
ing classes live III town and cities, except
in the south, which still continues to
send farmers to the legislature and to
congress. But for the south the farm
ers of the country would be almost I'M
represented at Washington.

est measure of prosperity and happiness.
This craze for town life is all wrong. II
half of our ambitious young men who
are living in shabby-genteei way in the
professions and in dry goods stores
would put their brains and energy into
farming, our country districts would be-
come thickly settled. and, with well-till
ed farms, comfortable modern cottages
and good roads, life outside of towns
would be in every way superior to the
mode of existence found within the
walls of our crowded cities. The towns
do not need an influx of population from
the country, but the country needs a lot
of people, to take hold of the farms and
produce something. We can get along
without more lawyers and dry goods
clerks, but we need more farmers-we
need their healthy produts, healthy in
fuence and their healthy aid in running
the government.

TOO UNREASONABLE.

The New York Sun says editorially:
The women who want to vote have been
holding their twenty-first annual con-
vention at the Masonic temple in Twenty
third street. There were only about one
hundred of them at the meeting, and
their names afford evidence that as time
passes they are gaining few recruits.
The great obstacle in the way of accom-
plishing the revolution proposed by these
very serious ladies is that their sex gen
orally refuse to come to their assistance.
Miss Susan B. Anthony, a veteran in the
ranks of the woman suffragists, was
present but she could hardly have been
proud of her associates on the platform.
Forty years ago the leaders of the move
ment, among whom was so conspicuous
a figure, We're much more deserving OF
respectful attention. Yetmeanwhils, as
we have said, the ranks of the
thinner in this country. Miss
Dodge has distinguished herself as a
commissioner of education, but she is
careful TO keep aloof from Miss Anthony
and Mrs. Blake Miss Resale Butler
has demonstrated extraordinary execu-
tive capacity In the management OF
charitable enterprises, but she kept
away from the convention at the Mason
ic temple. Presumably neither of these
ladies wants TO vote, and the same is the
case with Mrs. Lowell, so remarkable for
the soundness of her judgment as phi
lanthropist. In all the great churces,
too, there are ladies of distinction in
movements for social reforms, but they
refuse to ally themselves with that small
body of their sisters who are striving
for the political enfranchisement of their
SEX 1t is useless, therefore, for Miss
Anthony, Mrs. Blake and their small
company of followers to talk about the
political discrimination against their
sex. Women generally pay no heed to
them, and without the support of
women they are powerless. Woman
suffrage continues to be very unfaShion-
able in this republic, and it will never
become a question Of practical politics
while ii so remains.

/ tional methods TO the muscles Of their

may easily imagine a skilled iuggler
who would wonder quite as much at a
school-boy's ready answers 20 ques-
lions in arithmetic as the school-boy
would wonder at his feats OF balapc-
ing or slesght of hand. The wonder
ment in each case is dependent upon
the ignorance OF the one end the
skill OF the other In fields
that are open TO both. Until
recent years ii has been assumed that
the muscles need little training that
can not be acquired in the ordinary
course of life without special instruc-
ton or effort. The results achieved
by specialists should. however. correct
this view. The Germans have carried
this thought TO logical conclusion by

NORTHERN JEALOUSY.

stanza of a poem, which has for its sub
ject Oklahoma:
Hapless people, hapless land!
Heap of uncementing sand;
Nord, have mercyD
Crumbled by domestic hate
People journeying to their fate
Pity them in such state.
Christ, have mercyD
With our best respects to our globular
contemporary we would suggest that

Such cussed lot of rubbish
Should go dead.

Who composed that stanza rank

The excuse set up by Governor Hill o

The excuse set up by Governor Hill of
New York, in his message to the legisla-
ture for vetoing the Saxton electoral
bill, that is, that the bill is cumbersome
and the plan would involve additional
care and labor, is specious plea and
has called forth unstinted denunciation,
some of the severest being from his own
party press. 1t is an open secret that
the real cause of the governors opposi-
ton to the measure was because he was
aware that with such change in the
electoral system the equivocal hold of
his party upon the great state Of New
York would be forever broken. The
change is inevitable and the abusive ex-
ercise of executive authority can only
effect temporary stay.

DICKS RECORD.

Captain Richard L. Walker, the new
United States marshal for Kansas, is a
native of Pennsylvania, born in 1912,
but was removed to Ohio when child.
with his parents. In April, 1861, when
nineteen, he enlisted in the army and
served until the close of the war, being
mustered out as a captain of the Nine
teenth Ohio infantry. In 1868 he re-
moved to Kansas. In 1878 he was
elected sheriff of Cowley county, in
which Office he served two terms. In
1876 he was elected mayor of Winfield,
and in 1879 was appointed register of
the United States land Office at Wichita,
holding that position until 1885.
