1t Is now in order for the Kansas City
papers to claim credit for that city s
packet line on the Missouri river for the
reduction of rates of freight by rail on
wheat and corn from the Missouri river
to Chicago from 22I and 20 cents to 20
and 10 cents respectively as announced
by the Chicago & Alton railroad. The
reduction is announced to be made in
conformity with the or Ter of the inter-
state commission and without reference
to competition from any source. The
Alton being the first road to announce a
reduction, and that road being depend
ent upon that base for its traffic for the
east establishes beyond controversy that
the rates on grain can be reduced with
out serious detriment to the business of
the roads. The roads that penetrate the
territory west of the river and thus
secure large portion of their through
business from first hands make poor
show of necessity for maintaining the
hitherto high rates. The demand for
is imperative and is well
nigh universal.

A WICHITA MAN KICKS.
o the Editor Chicago Tribune.

To the Editor Chicago Tribune.
Recently there appeared in the Tribune
a communication dated at Topeka and
headed "GlOom in Kansas" A few DAYS
later the same appeared in the New
York Times under the headline Great
Gloom in Kansas. The figures given
were probably, in the main true. but
we are interested to know why such I'M
due prominence is given to adverse con-
diions IN Kansas, as if bOuntiful crops
under favorable climatic conditions
were the rule this year elsewhere. Is
there not gloom in Iowa, in the DakOtas.
in Indiana, in Illinois, and i'll the New
England states? 1t is not for lack of
natural advantages. a productive soil, or
favorable climate that there is gloom in
Kansas. During the boom era in the
west people lost their heads and con-
tracted debts for the purposes of specula-
ton, and, in consequence, mortgages
were given everywhere to secure defer
red payments and the unfortunate are
now reaping the reward of their own
folly.
We are robbed here in Kansas by an
unjust tariff and an unjust monetary
system, and some unwise laws interfere
with the prosperity Of the people. But
like evils operate in other states. The
people in Kansas have recovered their
senses lost during the boom, and the evils
resulting from some unrighteous laws
now on our statute books will be rene
died soon.
Kansas has been treated unjustly in
the prominence given 10 her mortgage
indebtedness and unwise laws by dema-
gogues for selfish purposes and by non
resident spectators who lost their money
in land speculations. buying land at fic-
titious values, paying something for
nothing, and now curSing the country
for what is altogether the result of their
own folly. Kansas, owing to her geo
graphical position. varied natural re-
fouTceS genial climate, and Astounding.
life-giving, and life-preServing sunshine
is sure TO prosper. When prosperity per-
manently deserts Kansas there viii not
be prosperity elsewhere. There never
has been a more favorable time to invest
in Kansas. as real estate can be bought
now as much below its true value a. it
was above It's true value during the
boom. GEORGE STARK MILLER.

c. F. DeWolf. of FL Reno county, wrote
Governor Steele concerning the poverty OF
the people and suggested that, though it
be unlawful, they should be allowed TO kill
game to provide food. The governor an
swered that food would be more necessary
and harder TO get next winter, aud that the
officers would be commanded to keep the
game laws in full force.
j. p. Glass, living seven miles north OF
Guthrie in the SHELTON valley, brought in
samples of corn yesterday that, in view OF
reported bad crops, is stupenduous says
the Guthrie News. The stalks average
ten feet in height and will yield an aver
age of fifty or sixty bushels to the acre.
Mr. Glass says his neighborhoOd is full of
just such fields and is exceedingly jubilant
over prospects for an excellent crop. His
corn of course Is planted on ground thas
was titled last year But the sod corn Is
also IN very good condition.

THE BIGGEST CITY IN KANSAS.

Census takers may have manipulated,
census takers may have padded, and
census takers may have failed outrage
ously in the work assigned them, as they
no doubt did all these things in numer-
Gus instances in many states, but there
are truer and more accurate measure
ments of the relative greatness of cities
than the hurried and jumbIed work Of
inexperienced enumerators. The claim,
for instance, that Topeka is a greater
city than Wichita is equivalent to the
claim that silver is more valuable than
gold. just as sure as that an average of
$500, 600 bank clearingS per week is
more than 100000 bank clearings per
week, just so sure is Wichita greater
and bigger than Topeka, and just as
much greater and bigger as $500, 900 is
more than $500, 900. The balances Of bank
books can't lie, whatever census takers
may do, or may fail to do. The actual
volume of business done weekly by
Wichita, as shown by the official
bank clearing reports, has been regular
ly and uninterruptedly from twice to
twO-times-and-a-half greater than the
business transacted by Topeka ever since
Topeka was big enough to have clear
ing house. AS rule there is as much
business transacted in Wichita in two
days as is transacted in Topeka in a
week. And we ask nobody to take our
declaration for this fact. Hunt up the
records of the banking business and
clearanceS, for any time, long or short,
recent and remote, and satisfy yourself.
We get very weary of the eternal re-
iteration of the showing made by men
who were hired to do weeks job as an
evidence of any city's comparative
status. The official census may show
that Topeka, and Leavenworth, and
Atchison have hundred thousand peo-
pie combined, or that Topeka alone may
have that many people, but that will not
alter the fact that Wichita does more
business, every week, than all Of them
put together
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1890-07-30

A law that will compel an innocent
and unsuspecting debtOr-who in fact is
no debtor-to pay the amount of such
debt because the evidence of the debt is
held by an innocent purchaser, may be
good law but it is utterly devoid of
justice. As well hold a person to the
payment of forged note of hand as to
compel community to pay fraudulent
bonds. To our notion this policy-we
say policy, for there is no good law and
less justice in it-of giving preference in
such cases to the alleged innocent pur-
chaser at the expense of the innocent
debtors is most harmful one for the
reason, if no other, that it puts a
premium upon questionable trransac
tons of the characters spoken of. The
innocent debtor, if he can SO establish
his attitude, should be considered first,
because it may have been impossible for
him to prevent the fraud being perpe-
trated upon him, while the purchaser Of
the evidence of the debt has every oppor-
tunity of protecting himself against
fraud

CENTRAL AMERICA.


What the actual condition of affairs is
in Central America is hard to discover.
The people of that unfortunate region
seem to be continually falling into the
clutches of the most unprincipled and
constituencies tyrants.
Gen. Barillas, who succeeded BarriOs
as president of Guatemala, having at
tempted to murder one or two individ-
uals who had the misfortune to have in
CURED his enmity, was looked upon as
the most Objectionable tyrant of the lot,
but a Gen. Ezeta, who has risen to the
supreme power in San Salvador, is gen.
orally conceded now to represent in his
own person the most unprincipled scoun-
drel who has ever disgraced official
station even in Central America.
Breaking into banquet hall a few
days since, he precipitated disturbance
in which some score or so Of officials
We're dispatched. Then taking the presi-
dent up stairs he poisoned him and sue
ceeded him in the presidential chair.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that this
ruftlan may be eventually hanged, as he
does not deserve to die in any other man
ner than by ignominious execution.
Meanwhile a war has commenced
which, whatever it may do for the lead
ers, means misery for the people.

THE DECAY OF DELICACY.

The difference between the truly
modest young woman of the preceding
generation and the conventional young
woman of today is pointed out with
many illustrations, some of them of a
most striking nature, by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps in the Forum for August. \
study of modern society has convinced
her that we have suffered a great loss of
delicacv: and that in society delicacy Is
strength. This change. which the build
ing of great fortunes has brought into
our social life, she traces through all our
thought and activity, finding that there
is lack of delicacy in our art, and in
literature, and throughout the whole
range of American activity. The article
is an arraignment of the indicate ten
denotes of society, by a woman. Espe-
cial emphasis is laid upon the evil of
decoilete dress.

Reasons for the Faith That's in Him.

From the Conwny Springs Star.
Because an individual belongs 10 n pO-
IiticaI party ne is not bound to bliudly
endorse everything the party may do.
We are Republican. We are in favor
of the free coinage OF silver: we are not
in favor of the Mckinley bill in its cntir-
ETY.. We believe further, that many of
the representatives in congress, and men
in high official positions in the govern
ment are endangering the success Of the
Republican party: and in 50 doing are
working against the best interests of the
people at large, by pandering to the be-
hests of eastern money loaners and bank
ers of Wall street and Europe. We say
this and still say that we are Repub-
lican. because we believe that the prinCI-
pies of that party are calculated to bring
the greatest good to the greatest number,
and that the masses of the party are true
10 its principles.
