THAT SUNKEN WHISKY.

Eight thousand barrels of whisky are
supposed to be buried in the river bed
near Atchison. where the Pontiac sunk
in 1913. The exact location of this i'm
mense quantity of malign and danger
Gus influence, which age in making
smoother and more palatable does not
weaken, should be ascertaincd at the
earliest date, and if found closer to the
Kansas than to the Missouri shore, the
legislature should take steps to have it
removed, otherwise Missouri may float it
and and raise her state debt. Eight
thousand barrels is 100000 gallons.
Forty year old whisky would bring in
any Missouri market So per gallon, OF
total sum of $1,600,000. If Missouri
would content herself with raising it
and drinking it we would not feel SO
much concern, but the probability that
she would attempt to retail it to Kansas
at so per gallon and expressage, renders
the question one Of political economy as
well as a menace to the efficiency Of the
metropolitan police force.

Anent the present activity in the navy
department of our government we note
that in first paper in the North Ameri-
can Review on NAVAL Wars of the Flu
ture," Admiral Porter points out an in
terestlng and important but often over
looked fact. The modern war ship and
the new system of naval tactics which
must go with it have not as yet been
thoroughly tested in actual warfare.
Steam has revolutionized the old condi-
tons. A modern twelve-iuch rified shell
striking one OF Nelson's ships between
wind and water, and exploding on i'm
pact, would have sent it to the bottom in
five minutes. ''The wars of the future"
says the admiral, may turn out to be
as different as possible from those of the
past, and, although we may educate Off
GERS in the higher mathematics to enable
them to rise to the occasion, when the
time arrives the results may be exactly
opposite to what we anticipated"

The great success of the expositions
held in recent years in several southern
cities-New Orleans, Atlanta, Augusta,
inspires the Manufacturers Record of
Baltimore with happy thought Why
not, it asks, Join forces and get up an
exposition, in which the Industries and
products of the whole south shall be
represented, in some of the great cities
of the north? Sure enough, why not?
1t would be the best possible advertise
ment for southern states desiring immi-
grants and capital, it would be new
and educating experience for many
thousands of northern men and women,
and it would bring nearer the more per-
feet union which should be the object of
al our hopes and efforts.

Revolution in Teiegraphy.

SctenkiuC 6lsceuanys
For some time past the Western Union
telegraph company have had under con-
temptation the adoption of new meth
cd of telegraphy, known as the Wheat
stone system, which viii be used to the
almost exclusion of the Morse system,
heretofore chiefly used. The change, it
is thought, will be made here some day.
The advantages of such change to the
company, it is said, are obvious. By
the Wheatstone system 400 or 500 words
per minute can be sent by one operator.
This is more than ten times as many as
can possibly be licked with the old
Morse machines. Experts say that the
new departure is calculated to revolu-
tionize telegraphy in SO far as it will en-
able any company to transact its bust
ness at about one-half the former cost.
There will be nothing in the nature of
an experiment in the change, because
the Wheatstone system has for long
time been in operation.

ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THAT
ECLIPSE.

The papers keep alluding to the ''suc-
cessful eclipse" The observation is a
tiresome one. An eclipse couldn't be
anything but an eclipse. The grass on
the north side Of honse is eclipsed
every day. The shadow OF the moon
exists continually, as do the shadows for
all the stars, planets and satellites, and
these shadows are continually producing
eclipses of some degree. The earth in
turn is often eclipsing the moon which
at its full is ever in the vicinity of the
earth's shadow. To successfully view
an eclipse is another thing, but the uni
verse is full of eclpses every moment of
time and they are all great successes
although we are unable to be on hand to
see them. The other day the shadow of
the moon fell across the western hem
isphere of the earth. Next week the
shadow of the earth will, in turn, fall
across the moon. The moon fellows will
be declaring that the sun is eclipsed,
while we of the earth will call it an
eclipse of the moon. The eclipse the
other day was to the fellows in the sun
but a simple transit of Luna across the
earth.

The Topeka Ministerial Union held a
meeting Monday and formulated an adj
duration touching the use of liquor at
the Inauguration ball. So much for a
town without a police commission, and
for the capital of a prohibition state.
Either the ministers of that union are
foolish or the law making power is sus-
pected of being hypocritical, or Topeka
needs the Metropolitan police-probably
all three. In all seriousness do the MEM
bers OF that union realize the outside
impression of such an action-the atti-
tude in which they themselves, the
state, and its executive and legislature
are placed before the world? The Jour
nal goes on to say that the ministers
said nothing touching the propriety of
dancing at the inaugural ball.

The idea recently preached by Rocky
Mountain statesman very far from an
original idea by the wav( of an alliance
of 1.-The south and 1.-THE west on certain
questions against New York and New
England doesn't seem 10 awaken much
enthusiasm in any quarter. Leading
southern newspapers say their constit-
uencies will have none of ii. Several of
them, we are glad 10 see. take high
patriotic ground against any attempt TO
perpetuate sectionalism in American pol
itics. Others point out that, if it should
ever unhappily become question Of
alliances" the interests of the south
will ally it with this part of the country
rather than the Rocky Mountain end.
Every thing the south has TO sell goes
east" says the Mobile Register" All the
money we borrow TO make and move
our crops comes from the east. 1t is our
shame that we have to buy our bread
and meat from the west. Whatever
financial or commercial questions dam
age or benefit the east, likewise damage
anu pehenl the soclu, L ne Ne" VI
leans Times-Democrat holds similar
language. ''As matter of fact it
says. 1.-The social business and financial
interests of the south are more closely
allied TO those of the east than of the
west" And then the Louisiana news
paper gives utterance to a sentiment
which ought TO make the Rocky Noun
tain statesman ashamed Of himself.
1.-The south" it tells him, docs not wish
to ally itself with any portion of the
union against other portions: what it
wants is a national policy, one that
will Danish geographical politics, and
recognize all parts Of the union as
equal"

The Topeka Journal is evidently going
to throw itself this winter on its report
of Legislative proceedings. it having en-
ployed two prominent writers to do the
work, in the persons of Noble L. Prentis

vantage of beng an evening paper, but
we venture the opinion that the reports
as made by these two men will be the
standard and the ones in demand for
reference by the members.

A Timely Warning.


1t is reported from France that Boul-
angerism is making decided Roadway in
the pending elections. This fact should
prompt congress to adopt, without
further delay the Edmunds resolution
reasSerting the Monroe doctrine, and
warning foreign nations that the United
States will regard it as an unfriendly act
if any foreign power shall acquire con-
troll of any inter-oceanic canal across the
isthmus. The enterprise is just the sort
of thing to attract Boulanger, and 1t will
be well to head him off if there is any
prospect that Boulanger may attain to
power in the French Republic.

department.; no editor is responsible for
the sentiment expressed in any contrib
