AT Washington Heights, ILL.,, on Saturday,
John Reardon, a farmer, drove on the Rock
Island railroad and headed down the track.
When the fast express came along he would
not get out of the way. The train hands
expostulated, but Reardon said he had the
right of way, and did not care for anybody.
The locomotive was run up until its nose
touched the farmers wagon and the slow
procession moved on toward South Engle-
wood. At that point despatch was sent to
Police Captain Elliott, who, with detach-
ment of police hurried to the rescue of the
fast express. Reardon, with his wagon half
full of corn, was taken to the police station.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
From the Kansas City Times.


Several years ago superintendent OF
one of the town schools in Iowa intro
duced what was heraIded as great
fiscal reform among the school children
by encouraging them to deposit their
nickels in savings banks, and not few
communities were so charmed with the
practical and utilitarian character of the
project, that the actual work of the
schools was, in a large measure, lost
sight of. From recent accounts, this
savings mania has broken out afresh in
the Brookline schools, one of the minor
suburbs of Boston.
In consequence of this rediscovery of
this effete affair, the Boston Herald gives
a glowing and approving account of the
scheme, and welcomes it as one of the
essential functions of the public school.
Viewing the scheme from an economic
standpoint, at first glance 1t appears to
good advantages; but when it Is further
investigated, there are many serious OBJ
jecuons to 1T.
To hold up continually before child
rem the idea of boarding money
brushes out all the finer feelings
and sentiments of childhood. Take
the grasping, misery man, and what
nobler instincts are not biotted out Of
his soul? Such system as that advo-
Gated by the Boston Herald appeals to
the very lowest and most selfish propen-
sites of human nature.
Who expects an old mans business
head on the shoulders of a mere boy or
girl: Such a being would be a mon
strositv in the natural order of things.
Children should be taught to work, and
also to earn money. and learn how to
expend it. or give it away, but TO hoard
it up-never!
For child to give to poor children or
others in distress awakens sentiment the
reverse of ali those stimulated and put
into unwonted activity by the banking
system.
We deprecate the restless strife for
wealth-its wearing and tearing and
wasting away influences on the Ameri-
can character, and vet this very thing
Is what is recommended as a necessary
part and parcel of the public school
work
There is law Of compensation and
work running through all kinds of econo-
my, whether of mind, body, the house
hold. the community or the nation. As
the child's mind Is bent so will 1t be in
clined.
If to selfishness, then selfish: if to
love. gratitude and benevolence-to
making others feel better and happier
then it turns instinctively TO these.
There Is already too much selhshness
in the world. and il needs no greater in
cenuves, but rather 10 be held III check.
4 system Of education that makes
money getting its chief end and aim
dwarfs all the nobler elements Of human
nature-shrinks and shrivels up the soul
and is curse TO It's possessor: yet there
are those selfish enough 10 encourage,
through mistaken policy, just such a
condition of affairs.

THE TRUSTS MUST GO.

The depression in the grain market is
not the only feature in the commercial
transactions of the country that is giving
the agricultural community special con-
Germ. The live stock interest is as seri-
ously affected, and has been f6r months.
Nobody engaged in that line of business,
from the farmer and ranchman to the
retailer of the meat to the consumer, but
denies that he is making any money.
The Atchison Champion, in discussing
the question, still insists that the beef
combine-that is. the principal packers
of Chicago and Kansas City, headed by
the Armours, are responsible for the pre-
vailing low prices of live stock, and also
for the high prices charged by the retail
ers of dressed meats. If this be true.
though we are prepared to admit the ex-
act truthfulness of both propositions,
then the Champion is right in declaring
that "the first thing to be done to relieve
the stock and beef industry of the coun-
try is for congress to pass an iron-clad
antitrust bill, and for the western states
Particularly W SeIiu LIeH W tieiI several
legislatures who, not being open to
barter and sale, could be relied on to
enact some measures to throttle the
dressed beef combine within their own
limits"
The senate committee that has that
subject in hand has spent several months
investigating it and trying to locate the
trouble. The result of its investigations
has not been formally laid before the
senate, though the points brought out by
their inquiries have been given to the
public through the dispatches as the in
vestigation progressed, and the impress
sion prevails to a considerable extent
that some sort of combination or secret
understanding-whic is tantamount to
combination-evists whereby prices for
both the live stock and the dressed meats
are controlled by the parties mentioned.
But whether this is true or not the de-
mand for legislation by congress on the
general subjects of trusts and combines
is universal and pressing. If there is in
fact no such combine as that spoken of,
no harm can result from legislation
against the principle, and in this particu-
lar case there is or will be nobody to OBJ
iect,

THE RACE QUESTION IN KANSAS.

Judge Guthrie of the Shawnee district
court delivered very interesting opinion
Saturday on the question of the natural
ization of ChInaman. Lee Fong, a
Topeka laundryman, asked to be made
citizen of the United States, but Judge
Guthrie holds that under the naturaliza-
ton laws Monaghan cannot become
naturalized citizen of this country. 1t is
the first time the question was ever
raised in Kansas, though the same ques-
ton was before the circuit au Kansas
City, Mo-, only few days ago and was
decided as the Topeka case was, against
the application. Except on the Pacific
coast where a good many Cinnamon
have been naturalized, there has been
very little disposition manifested on the
part of the Monaghan races to become
citizens of this country, and it is this
very indifference on their part that has
made them so Objectionable an element
in the community. In no state of case
could they become as desirable citizens
as the Caucasian, but if they had shown
a disposition to assiInilate with the
whites in matters OF citizenship very
much of the opposition that exists
towards them would be disarmed, in
fact would never have obtained.

WHAT KANSAS NEEDS.

From the Leavenworth Times.
Kansas needs diversity of industries.
She carries too many of her eggs in one
basket. Too many of her citizens are
engaged i'll food production. There is an
overproduction of food and an underpro-
duction of other necessaries and con-
venlenceS of life; too much corn and
wheat and oats and hay, too little of
other productions of the farm and too
little manufacturing. Thus it happens
that great portion of the products OF
the state must seek a market beyond
the limits of the state. a distant market.
Nor do our products go to market in
condensed shape, but in the bulkiest
form. Corn in the shape Of hogs and
cattle would be better, corn in the shape
of beef and pork better still,
but our corn goes largely as corn.
The country that ships raw material
remains poor. Kansas farmers must de-
vote less attention to food products and
more to other products OF the farm, and
Kansas cities must build more manufac-
tories if we would increase Ill wealth as
we should. 1t can be done if the people
will but go at it and do it. But they
must build the manufactures or give
material aid to them themselves, not
wait for the eastern capitalist to come
along and do it for them. He who
would have good servant must serve
himself. When the wise old mother
bird, who had built her nest among the
corn, learned that the farmer, tired of
waiting for his neighbors TO assist him,
had determined 10 cut the corn himself,
she took her brood and flew away. She
knew that the work would then be done.

When person hasn't common sense
enough to comprehend a plain PROPOSE
ton of fairness and simple justice, or has
no argument to meet demands made for
them, and hasn't sense enough to keep
his mouth shut, such an one almost in
variably attempts to show smart by
dealing in bald, senseless assertions. 1t
is useless to argue either Of the PROPOSE
tons quoted in the above paragraph
with the person making them. Because,
forsooth, Colonel Murdoch has seen the
danger that threatens his party if it shall
persist in pursuing line of policy that
is inimical to the best interests of the
state and is not in harmony with true
Republican principles and traditions,
and would save the party by warning it
of its danger, he must be denounced as a
traitor 1t is enough to say that did
Colonel Murdoch love his party, its

and its magnificent achievements less,
he might care less for the attempts of
