thinking rs they do, for practical reasons

RAIN DELAYS RAILROAD WORK.
A Temporary stoppage on the Seattle s.
Montana.

The present wet and windy weather is
interfering seriously with construction
work on the Seattle & Montana railroad.
Grading has been temporarily suspended,
but will be resumed whenever the weather
clears UP. 1t would have been con tinued
in spite of the rain, but that it is impossi-
bic TO construct the cribbing along the
shore in such weather, and as the dirt ex-
cavated in grading has to be dumped into
the cribbing, grading cannot continue
when cribbing is stopped. The storms have
caused no further damage TO the cribbing

NEW LAKE SHORE TIME TABLE.
An Unfortunate Error Removed--A VAL

The new time card of the Seattle, Lake
Shore IL Eastern railway has been re-
printed, with Seattle in its right place as
the terminus of the road. 1t is but just
to say that the wording of the time card
as originally printed was the result of in
advertence and not of design The card is
neat in appearance, and so simple in ar
rangement that the traveller can see at
glance what he wishes to know. 1t gives
the time table of the through trains from
Portland TO Anacortes and Fairhaven, and
of the local trains on the Lake Shore read.
1t also states the railroads, steamships and
stage lines with which the road connects,
and that pack animals, for transportation
into the mountains, can be obtained at

DISCHARGED RAILROAD MEN.
Union Pacific Graders Pouring Into Port
land-Stoppage Only Temporary.

IafIu-otopPHSo VHIy temporary.
W. L. Chalk, resident engineer of the
Union Pacific railroad, returned yesterday
from Portland, where he went to see Chief
Engineer Bogue in relation to the suspen-
sion of work on the Seattle branch. He
says that the opinion in the Portland Office
is that the suspension is only temporary
and is caused by the stringency in the
money market. The men who have been
working on the road are pouring into Port
land to receive their wages, all of which
will be paid by the middle of January, the
contractors having gone East to receive
payment for the work done. The work
men are mostly Italians, and many of them
are expected to come to Seattle in search
of work on the roads under construction
in this neighborhood.

Gov. Humphreys Decision.

Gov. Humphrey deserves the thanks
of all law abiding citizens of the state
for the commemorate manner in which
he conducted himself toward the Wich-
tia resubmissionists which met in To-
peka last Friday. There probably
never was a more bigoted, egotistical,
unreasonable set of men congregated at
the state capital.
Sorely disappointed upon their arrival
at Topeka to learn that nobody but
Wichita people was going to be in
attendance upon the convention
they took any refusal of the governor
to be direct insult to the citizens of
Wichita. They began to make IN
reasonable demands. Just why the
governor of Kansas should honor such
a body of men with his presence does
not appear. If the state Legislature
has any communication to make to the
governor it does it through committee
or memorial.
No other than whisky organization
would have the brazen cheek to demand
the governors presence. And no Othel
organization would have had the in
decency to denounce the governor fol
refusing such an unreasonable demand
But there is 10 demand however brazeI
and unreasonable that whisky part.

A Comn1ete Fizz1e

For eight weeks the Kansas City
Times and the Wichita Eagle have been
drumming up delegates throughout
Kansas to attend a reSubmission con-
vention at Topeka on the 23d inst. for
the purpose of asking Gov. Humphrey
to call special session of the legisla-
ton. These papers promised that this
meeting would be the most imposing
assembly that would meet in the
state capital this summer. 1t was to
be so massive in its membership that the
governor would be unable to resist the
demand. 1t was to be composed to the
business men of all the cities of Kan
sas. 1t was to be strictly representa-
tive Of the entire state of Kansas.
The great fasco has come and gone
back to Wichita. 1t proved to be
simply meeting of the resubmission
club of Wichita adjourned to repre-
sentative hall in Topeka. The meet
ing was composed of Wichita men; it
was run by Wichita men; it was solely
Wichita affair. No other county or
city manifested any interest in the
meeting. Even the curiosity seekers
of Topeka could not be gathered to-
gether in sufficient numbers to fill the
hall.

ence of the people upon the great ques-

did not meet the Wichita train at the

were mad at the state officers because
they didn't march down Kansas avenue

were mad at the governor because he

Some Vital Statistics.

The Fort Dodge, Ia, J Messenger has
been dabbling in statistics little of
late, and comparison made of prices
paid by farmers in 1880 and 1890 is at
tracing widespread attention. This
matter has close bearing upon the
tariff question and other sources of the
debate now raging among farmers,
politicians and political economists.
A close perusal of the figures as given
below will tend to convince the most
skeptical that competition among
American manufacturers will always
bring the price of an article in a short
time to its true worth. The list in
part is as follows:

There seems no likelihood Of a farmers
alliance candidate in opposition to John A.
Anderson, as no man in the state is regarded
with greater favor and has more entirely the
confidence of the agricultural element The
recent published account of his work is a
splendid record of his devotion to the old
soldiers.-TTopeka Capital.
The farmers alliance, if any credit
can be put in the private reports of
some of its members, is united in
opposition to the Hon. John A. Ander-
son. The fact that his henchmen,
both in and out of the district, are
using superhuman efforts to convince
the "dear farmer" that John A. has
done much for them is being
closely scrutinized. No paper in the
district is supporting him but those
directly interested in his continued
control of the federal patronage. The
people are at last getting their eyes
open.

IMPLEMENTS AND SUPPLIES.

AS respects farm implements, the
full list shows decline of 80 to go per
cent; window glass is % per cent. lower
than in 1880, household hardware % to
so per cent. lower, crockery 25 per cent.
lower, tea 80 per cent. lower, and to-
bacco 25 per cent. lower. in ready made
clothing the decline has beeu from 80
to so per cent; in boots and shoes SO
per cent; in furniture 25 to so per cent.
and in lumber, drugs, and all the arti-
cles that make up the farmers eX-
penses there are 10 exceptions to the
rule of lower prices. Figuring the
whole list through it will be seen that
the reduction in the last ten years
has been much greater on the things
the farmer buys than on the articles he
has to sell.
1t is little curious that the men who
are weeping so copiously over the de-
preston in American agriculture bring
out very few figures as an explanation
of their sorrow. If they have a good
case, why not produce the figures to
cinch their arguments? If tables can
be made to prove the reverse of the
foregoing, why not bring them out?

Mr.. ingalls, is said to be preparing
for a farm mortgage speech in the
senate. Circulars have been sent out
by him to the various county clerks in
Kansas soliciting information as to the
number of suits for foreclosure sale on
trust deeds for farming lands which
have been entered in the courts during
the past three years. This channel of
investigation is somewhat out of Mr..
Ingalls, line, but it furnishes an invit-
ing field for research. 1t possesses a
contemporaneOuS interest far exceed
ing that which attaches to the issues
of the war, and the subject will fur
nlsh the Kansas statesman an Oppor-
tunity to display his versatility and to
prove that his powers are not limited
to spectacular rhetoric in the senate.
The knowledge which Mr.. ingalls, is in
search of may reveal to him the true
causes of the depression of agriculture
in Kansas, and suggest to him
rational remedy for the trouble. In
view of the approaching tariff debate
in the senate. it is desirable that the
county clerks in Kansas shall be prompt
in responding to Mr.. Ingalls, circular.
