Journalistic Comprehensivenes

Troy Times.
A little fellow who was earnestly
searching the columns of certain re-
ligious journal for something in the jul
venile department, found the paper
rather bulky to manage and spread it
upon the floor. In reply to his little
sister, who was impatient at his slow
ness, he defended himself by saying;
"Well, you must remember that this
paper has two parasitic religious and
the sacrilegious!' 1t was the same boy,
by the way, who announced that the
scripture lesson at school one morning
was from the Book of Collisions.

The Wichita decision is one that will
lead to an endless amount of trouble
among western railroad carriers,-Salina
Gazette.
That depends upon the action of the
railroads, that is those operating lines in
this state. They can make plenty of
trouble for themselves if they undertake
to thwart the commissioners in the non
observance of the terms of the decision
just reaffirmed, but not otherwise. The
idea. implied in the above question, and
which is held to by many, that every
town and hamlet in the state will de-
mand and receive the same rates, cuts no
figure in the case. Every town that is
entitled thereto and can make the neces-
sary showing and in the proper way can
and viii have the benefits, but this will
not entail one-half the trouble imagined
to the railroads: but if it should it will
not be worse than has been the lot of
Kansas towns, with two or three excep-
tons, for many years.

The practice of dehorning cattle has

TOPEKA FREIGHT RATES.

A meeting of business men and shippers
of Topeka was held Saturday evening at
the board of trade rooms to hear the re-
port presented by the committee appointed
to confer with the railroad companies
with view to securing equitable freight
rates for Topeka. Mayor Cofran reported
on behalf of the committee that they had
met the general managers of the various
railroad companies and that they were
disposed to make for Topeka tariff that
would place them on an equal footing
with Missouri river points. They recog-
nized the Importance Of Topeka's COM
mercial interests and admitted that
Topeka was becoming one of the most i'm
portant shipping points in the west. A
meeting of the representatives OF the
various companies is to be held soon In
Chicago and this meeting will be given
prompt attention. The committee feel
confident that they will secure what they
want.-Topeka Journal.
This is but a legitimate and natural
sequence to the decision of the railway
commissioners in the Wichita case, but
for which Topeka nor any other city in
Kansas, off the basing line, would ever
have received an iota of concession.
Here we see the railroads voluntarily
agreeing to do what they and their
lackies solemnly declared would ruin
the roads if forced upon them. But, be
assured Wichita don't object.

The old aphorism that misfortunes
never come singly it seems is about to
be verified in the recently flooded dis
trictS of the east. The farmers are COM
planning that the recent wet weather is
working serious injury TO the growing
corn. The cut worm is playing havoc
with this important crop, the damp
weather bringing that pest to the sur
face. The plant looks yellow and sickly
for lack of sunshine. has ceased growing
and the prospect now presents itself that
a large acreage will have to be replanted.
1t is also said that the frost injured the
wheat TO q considerable extent. The
appearance is fair, but the heads are
making no grain and the probable har-
vest Will be mostly straw and chaff.
Thus far. however, the fruit is safe,
which will compensate in a measure for
the shortage of crops now threatened.

The New York World thinks it would
be more dignified to go to war over the
seals CT Alaska than it would to go to
war over the Goldfish off the Canadian
coast. This is where the World is mis-
taken. The amount Of money invested
in the fisheries of the eastern coast is
vastly larger than that invested in the
sealeries and it is more widely dis
tributed. Besides, the food of the peo-
pie, as represented by the Goldfish, is of
more importance than the clothes of the
people, as represented by the sealskin
sack. But it is idle to talk about war in
either case. The prospect for a scrap
with Germany over the Samoan affair
was at one time much more favorable
than either of the questions first above
but when the iron chancellor
saw the quiet, business like determina-
ton on the part Of this country to
maintain the right, see how easily and
quietly the matter was settled.

ATLANTIC CRY, NJ, Oct. 4-Baby Beatrice,
the alleged daughter Of Robert Ray and Eva
Hamilton, was finally disposed Of this morning.
Mrs. Rupp will become the custodian for an in
definite period or until Mrs. Hamilton is released
from the Trenton penitentisry. These were
the arrangements made by Mrs. Hamilton and
her attorney Capt. Perry, last evening, but moth
ing could be definitely stated until he received
word from Mrs Rupp to whom he
telegraphed last evening. The answer in the
affirmative came in the person of Mrs. Rupp at
Mays Landing this morning. The child Will be
taken to Philadelphia this afternoon.
Capt. Perry and sheriff johnson both came to
Atlantic City today. MIR. Perry says he has an
appointment with Mrs. Hamilton this afternoon.
He knows nothing about Sheriff Johnson's In
tentions regarding the removal of Mrs. Hsmil-
ton to Trenton. He had long interview with
prosecutor Thompson this morning. The
strange action of the sheriff in this matter ia
exciting much comment here. Mr.. Edward
Nollmer, Mr.. Hamilton's confidential friend.ap-
peared at Nays Landing this morning arriving
on the same train Mrs. Rupp. 1t is surmised
that the object of his visit is closely related to
the divorce proceedings just instituted. Mrs.

yesterday from Capt. Perry, but she seemed
