Womeu's Clubs in New York,

Ii has been discovered that in addi- ton to Sorosis-whioh has now be- come an old story and somewha prosy the women of New York have about twenty other full grown clubs, not all of which have a local habitation, but all of which boast a name and a raison d'etre, says New York letter 10 the Philadelphia Record. Among these arc "Wednesday Afternoon Club, composed of severely literary and learned women of the philosophic and bIue-st stocking order; the Monday Club. whose mem- bership is confined to fashionable la- dies who go to church on Sunday and meet The next day 10 get rid of their superiluous gossip; the Kindly Club, which is composed of women who take pledge never to speak an evil word of any one, and which is not likely to ever prove popular or power- ful; the Alexandra Club. which has a house of its own, and never admits masculine visitors, and of which men suspect much but know iothing; the Sociologic Club, which follows the teachings of Rev. Heber Newton, and with him dives into the unfathomablc and scars after the infinite; the Clio Club. which goes in for classics and | lights in mythology, though some of the old gods and goddcsses were no better than they should be, the Merid- ian Club, which always convenes at noon and confines its members to the science of astronomy; the Emma Lax arus Club, for working girls, a most mcritorious institution and half doz- on Socialist and Anarchist clubs.
 Who shall say, scanning this brief list, that this Is not an age of progress or that the once gentle part of creation is in any danger of losing what it called it's rights.

Forests ycrSus Lightning.

We notice that a series of articles has lately appeared in the Journal Tele- graphique giving statistics oi thunder storms in Belgium. It seems that there exists some relationship between the extent of the forests and the cores bonding amount of damage effected by lightning. Some Swiss statistics show that in certain regions which have been gradually deforested the increase in fires due to lightning has been as follows: AZ during the decade lS56-65 i; 46 during the decade iS66-75; s5 during tho decade ls76-s5. The evil dence at hand is considered by our contemporary sufficient to prove that as forests are cut down so the ire quency and violence of thunderstorms increase, and that forests afford large amount of protection against the various consequences of lightning.

A SPECIOUS PLEA.

The principal objection made by those
opposed to the free coinage of silver is
that this country would be flooded with
the silver of foreign nations. Suppose a
foreigner should bring his silver to this
country to be coined. The only thing
he could do with it after it was coined
into money would be to either take it
back with him a. else to buy some of our
products with it. Hence it could not be
put into circulation in this country ex-
cept by exchanging it for the things that
our people have to sell, and there are
thousands here now who would only
be too glad to exchange their crops,
&C., &C., for some of this foreign silver,
pay off their debts and make such i'm
provements as may be desired, and as
long as our people are allowed to set the
price upon the things they have to ex-
change for this foreign silver, ''Wall
street. need not worry itself for fear our
people will get cheated, unless it inter
feres. What we need now is more mon
ey, silver money, and less of some other
things.
How similar are the arguments of the
"mOney lenders and the manufacturers

The statement sent out in yesterday s
dispatches by the secretary of the State
Bureau of Agriculture in relation to the
present situation and outlook for the
sugar industry does not. indicate that
that important industry is failure IN
Kansas, as a few papers-with whom
the wish seems to be father to the
thought-have been insisting these many
months. And the unusual activity
among the manufacturers in making
preparations for largely increasing their
operations, in the face of the probability
of all protection being taken off sugar by
congress, is pretty strong evidence of the
confidence of those engaged in the in
dustry in its success not only but in its
profitableness as well. Our prediction is
that within two years the production of
sugar in Kansas will far exceed the con-
sumption, and as to the quality, it will
be the best, of course-Kansas does not
turn out any other quality of anything
in the produce line.

| st. Louis, and other northern and western
| points named, to points in Texas, a greater
| rate than they charge and collect for the
transportation of wheat between the same
| points, making a differential between
| wheat and its manufactured products,
| flour of cents or more per 100 pounds.
| That this differential is only charged IN
rates from st. Louis and other points in
| Missouri and Kansas to the southwest:
that it is not based upon or warranted by
| any difference in the cost of service be-
tween the raw commodity and its manu-
| featured product, and that no difernce
| whatever between the rates on wheat and
| -four is warranted by the cost of service,
and that said difference in rates operates
| as a direct discrimination against COM
| plainant and other flour millers in Mis-
seuri and Kansas, to their undue and
unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage
! in their business
That said difference in rate, any differ
| ence in rate between wheat and its manu-
! featured product, flour, between the
points named, is an unjust and IL
| legal discrimination against complainant
and all other millers in the territory nam
ed and that no difference whatever is war
ranted by the cost of service, and any diff
ference in rates between wheat and -four
operates to subject complainant and said
other millers to undue and unreasonable
prejudice and disadvantage.
Whereupon the petitioner prays that the
defendants may be required to answer the
! charges herein, and that after due hearing
and investigation an order be made COM
manding the defendants to cease and de-
sist from said violations of the act to reg
ulate commerce and for such other and
further order as the commission may deem
necessary in the premises.
Back of this modest appeal for justice
made to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is the story, covering several
years past, of how the various roads in
Guided in the complaint have built up
the business of the few -four mills located
in the Texas cities named, at the expense
not only of the flour millers of Kansas,
southeast Missouri and st. Louis, but
also of the whole people of Texas, who
have thus been forced by freight discrim-
ination to sell their wheat at lower
price than they could have obtained from
the great milling sections cut from COM
petition, and to pay more for their -four
than would have been the case with
equitable freight rates permitting fair
and honest competition for the business.
AS before stated the issue joined IS one
of no little interests to the millers of this
state, as an equitable rate of freight
south will make that quarter their near
est and consequently best market. And
besides the principle involved affects
the milling interest Of the entire west, as
the same Determinations are made by
the roads of the country generally except
perhaps in a few instances where the
milling interest is large enough and
strong enough when combined to force
concessions from the roads in their favor.

made by the Kaufman Milling company

the commission at that time and the
