CITY Superintendent of Schools.

Professor VIM. Reece arrived at 1:3O
this morning from Great Bend. He
is mddle-aged gentleman, with
burnsides slightly touched with gray.
Professor Reece was born near Baltl-
more, Ohio, and completed the course
in the Wesleyan University of that
state. His first work as an educator
was IN the district schools of Fairfield
county. His city work began in Van
Vert, OHIO, whe,e he spent one year.
Eleven years were si,.; IT as superin-
tendent of schools III Jamestown,
Green county. For four years he was
principal Of the high school in Spring
field, Clarke county. Professors
Smith and Reece conducted the senior
normal class. five weeks each year, for
twelve years, at Antioch. He has
been in institute work in Greene,
Clarke and Mercer counties, Ohio
His work in Kansas began in Great
Bend, September, 1886. and has con-
tinued up to date as superintendent of
schools. His institute work has been
three years in Barton county; two
years in Russell county and last year
in Cowley county. He is gentleman
OF quiet, pleasing address, and is very
highly recommended by prominent
educators of this state. His wife and
five children are at Great Bend and
will remain for the present The sal
airy has been fixed at 81 400 for the
unexpired term Of this year.-Empo-
ria Daily Republican, of the 9th inst.
From the above many of our read
ers will learn for the first time that
Great Bend has lost her efficient
supeript ndent of schools. We can
not blame Prof. Reece for accepting
larger field of work with better salary,
and the best wishes Of this community
will follow him to Emporia. He was
fortunate to be selected out Of seven
teen applicants tor the position, and
was virtually the unanimous choice of
the Emporia board of education. He
will probably enter upon his duties
there next week. His family will
remain in Great Bend this winter.

A COMMUNICATIONS in this paper
from Mr.. Stewards, contains some inter-
esting statistics and information about
our South American neighbors. A
careful study of the article will also
give tie impression that the writer
thereof is not particularly welded to
the tariff policy OF the republican party,
Though himself a republican, as exem-
plified in the Mckinley outrage. Mr..
Stewards can see through milestone
when it has hole in it. He is greatly
taken with the idea of reciprocity,
which is but another name for the tar
if reform advocated and annunciated
by Grover Cleveland. If tariff reform.
or reciprocity is good for the United
States in her dealings with South
America it certainly ought to be good
for .us in our trade with any other
country with which we have d large ex-
port and import business, and it is
to note how the great minds
of our land are catching On' to the
drift of public thought.

A RECENT issue of the Scientific
American states that Kansas has S,755
miles of railroad in operation. 1t is
,also stated that Kansas railroads can be
built and equipped for $50, GOO mile.
At that rate the Kansas roads are
legally entitled TO reasonable div
dends on a capital of 1862. $50 900.
Insead OF that, however, the railroad
stock is so ''watered" that it is repre-
scented as having total value of
$4,000 mile, or $6l2, $50, OO0-just
$3.50, 100000 of fictitious value, or
watered stock. How long can the peo-
pie stand it to be robbed in such man.

railroads for claiming tribute in such

The president in his recent message,
recommends enormous subsidies to
that business, but it is doubtful if the
people will endorse such policy of
spending the country's money. The
railroads of the land were built by the
sale of land donated by Uncle Sam, and
the people have awakened to the error
of thus helping to make the rich richer;
they have declared against any further
donations" in that direction, and will
declare as emphasically against all
placing of government aid that is not
needed except as political pull"

Jest look at tnat half bushel of little

em except TO put 'em in the ground
and hoe 'em over a few times. and thew
cost dollar and half-thats three
dollars a bushel. Then there's q
couple of bushels of potatoes that cost
two dollars, that l could have bought
last winter for about half that. That
confounded Mckinley bill has fetched
prices up higher'n kite. Last Aug
ust l got flour, the very best, at s1.25 a
sack and in the last two months it's
gone up to S1.4O and $780,"
"Then, them eggs are up to 18 cents"
Wife-"What did the Mckinley bill
do, John?'
John-"Well, course I don't know
exactly just all it did, but see by the
papers that it puts an extra duty of 80
cents bushel on all beans that's ship
ped in from other countries, and it
raises the duty on potatoes from Is
cents to 25 cents bushel and it char
ges cel,ts a dozen for all the eggs
laid by Canadian hens that's sold in
