Of Kansas. The complaint rested
upon the fact that the local rate from
Hutchinson. for instance, to Kansas
City ls IA cents per hundred, while
through rate to st. Louis Is 1S3 cents.
The petitioners ask that the local rate
be fixed at the proportion of the
through rate, which is 81 cents per
hundred The petitioners also asked
that the shipper to Kansas City might
have the privilege OF shipping over
any road he may choose, aud not be
dictated to by the railroad combine
at that place as is being done at pres
ent.
A great deal of testimony was
heard that had no bearing upon the
question, but from it all much was
learned about the ways that are dark
OF the transportation managers. The
Kansas City grain dealers were be-
fore the commissioners and offered
much wordy testimony in favor of
making their town the distributing
point for all the balance of the earth,
but the idea of the grain dealer did
not force itself upon the board to any
considerable extent.
Mr.. Clover asked that justice be
done the farmer, and gave the COM
missioners to understand that all the
Kansas farmer wanted in the way of
rates, was simple justice. He said
that while the Rock Island had paid
q dividend last year of four per cent.
Gncluding watered stock the farmer
lacked four per cent. of coming out
even. Mr.. j. w. Jones of Hutchin-
son. who assisted MIR. Easley in pre-
senting the case before the commits
sioners, addressed the board, and in
the course of his remarks said that if
the railroads refused to deal fairly
with the people, that the people will
arise in their power and build rail-
roads of their own. Governor Click
made strong address, arguing that
the reduction of the freight rate
would increase the value of the prod
uct to the producer and not lower it
as claimed by President Lowe of the
Rock Island. The commissioners
took the matter under advisement,
and no doubt justice will be done.
The Indiana State Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union was or
ganized at Indianapolis last week.
Robert Mitchell, of Princeton. was
elected president. Among the reso-
lutions was one that if the leading
political parties fail to nominate men
for the legislature identified with our
interests by occupation and educa-
tion, we deem 1T our duty and pledge
ourselves to nominate such men inde
and to strive by all hon
orable means to secure their election.
They will soon learn, as we have in
this state, that the only way to get
the legislature to enact the laws de-
sired by the working classes, IS to
select men from their own ranks, ig-
noring the old corporation ridden
parties entirely.

THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.

Inc time mas apparently arrived ID
this country when the rights and
conscience Of the individual voter is
above the dictates of any political
party, and the individual is ready to
absolve himself from the party chains
which hitherto bound him as a slave,
and declare in favor of absolute free
dom so far as his rights and prlvi-
leges as voter are concerned. The
new federation of Alliancemen and
Knights of Labor formed at st.
Louis last December, set forth their
declarations of principles and then
resolved, that the adoption of these
principles is dearer to us than the
success or failure of any political
party. Those principles have been
denounced by the party press as in
cendiary, anarchy, and everything
but honesty, and the cry has been
taken up by party men, and party
leaders, yet the farmers and laborers
as great army stand steadfastly by
those demands, and nothing can
swerve them from that line. The
great industrial classes of the North,
South, East and West, have a COM
mon interest, which is Numerically
opposed to the interest of the shy
locks, who stand and demand the
pound of flesh because 1T is nominated
in the bond. when they themselves
have forged the bond and make the
paying time impossible.
Here is a great principle at stake,
and the question of who is best en-
titled to rule. The wealth producers,
or the wealth absorbers, who by their
chicanery have so controlled the leg
islation of this country that the pro-
ducers of wealth, have been
transformed into debt burdened men
dicants driven almost to desperation.
While this process of change has
been steadily going on, who has been
benefited? Not the masses, but the
little band of merclless money chang
ers who have no fear of God, nor
love for humanity. The people
the great industrial class, and those
who love humanity more than sordid
gold have the power to right these
wrongs at the ballot box. Will you
do it, The man who pretends to be-
lieve that our present competitive
system, which is question. not of
the survival of the fittest" but sur
vival of the most cunning can last
even fifty years, must be dead to
reason. The time will come, and
soon, when all men will indeed be
equal, and will use their inalienable
rights to free themselves from the
CHAINS that bind them as slaves to
the money power. Hail the day!

Railroad Rates.

A number of Kansans, including
B. II. Clover, president of the Farm
ers' Alliance, and VIM. Sims, master
of the State Grange, appeared before
the railroad commissioners Tuesday
of last week to urge the railroad COM
m;ssiopers to lower the local rate on
Missouri ruin rate, in accordance with
petition containing the names OF ~
600 members of the Farmers Alliance

Politics is the science of govern
ment, why then should not every
good honest man study politics and
stand by such sciences Away with
the foolish idea that farmers in their
unions should not meddle with poll
tics. It is the rotten partisan
political slop Of which farmers should
steer clear, for such does in deed and
in truth polute all who get mixed up
IN them. Tribune

The farmers and laborers certainly
knew what they were about when in
their agreement at st. Louis they
pledged themselves not to vote for
any man unless he should agree to
work for their principles independent
of party caucus. The party caucus,
which meets always IN secret, is used
too often as an excuse for the betrayal
of the peoples rights. Down with
caucus rule. See what the caucus
did in the silver matter.-Missouri

Divorces in Various Countries.

Divorces in Various Countries.
In Australia divorces have never
been sanctioned.
Divorces are scarcely ever known to
occur in modern Greece.
In Hindostan either party for q
slight cause may leave the other and
marry.
In the olden times the Jews had a
discretionary power Of divorcing their
wives.
Divorces are scarcely allowed in
Thibet, unless with the consent of
both parties. Remarriage is forbid
den.
In Cochin China the parties desir.
ing divorce break pair of chopsticks
in the presence of witnesses and the
thing is done.
Two kinds of divorces are granted in
Circassia. By the first the parties can
Immediately marry again; by the sec.
ond not for year.
Among some tribes of American In
dams the pieces of sticks given the
witnesses of the marriage are broken
as sign of divorce.
If the wife of Turkoman asks his
permission to go out and he says ''go, u
without adding, come back again, VI
they are divorced
In Siberia, if a man is dissatisfied
with the most trifling acts of his wife,
he tears cap or veil from her face
and that constitutes divorce.
InSiam the first wife may be divorced
but not sold as the others may be.
She may claim the first child. The
others belong to the husband.
Among the Moors, if the wife does
not become the mother of boy, she
may be divorced with the consent OF
the tribe and can marry again.
In the Arctic region a man who
wants divorce leaves home in anger
and does not return for several days.
The wife takes the hint and DEPARTS

was an exceptional one, and has
been diligently improved by Bush
and Wilcox, by the Elele, and by
various anonymous correspondents
of one or two of the papers Ever
since the revolution of 1887 the
Elele in particular has been assidu-
GUS by sowing the seed which like
the dragons teeth, has brought
forth so pernicious harvest.
The problem of government by
the people is everywhere a difficult
one. In America where the voters
lave been educated by hundred
years of popular government, the
great mass of them in the large cities
are dangerous tool in the hands OF
the INSCRIPTIONS. Glasses exist
everywhere Though not always pre-
cisely in the lines laid down by our
travelled compatriot r. w. Wilcox
and wherever there are classes there
are difficulties, jealousies and dan
gers. But where there are races as
we'll as classes, where the class prob
lem is rendered doubly complex by
the addition of the race problem,
there, government by the people pre-
sents task of the utmost difficulty
It is task which can only be per
formed when the race question is
kept out of politics, when voters di
vide on other lines. Small govern
ments owe their existence to the jeal
ousies, or the sufferance of theil
neighbors, and a first condition o.
their continued independence alwayi
and everywhere, is that they shall
not make a mess of their own affairs
When they do they are sure to bt
short lived, gobbled up by some
powerful neighbor, It follows tha
the true enemies of Hawaiian indie
pendence are those who by playing
on race hatred endeavor to make
peaceable and stable government al
impossibility.
As for the actual results thus far
it is impossible to pronounce on then
with certainty, until the full return!
are in from all the other Islands, bu
we think we are safe in saying tina
Government bonds need not go dow1
yet. The men who were so ready t.
follow Wilcox before the election
will hardly be likely to follow him 81
tamely when the immediate need O
him is over. We can reasonabl.
hope that, even if the opposition ge
a majority, Wilcox will not be at tn
head of it, and that our friends o
the other side will have too mucl
sense to attempt anything likely t,
deal the new prosperity of the coun
try, a serious blow.

ROTATION IN OFFICE.

The signs of the times are that
the people will demand almost an
entire change Of State officers.
The feeling prevails that those
who have held Office for years
should be retired and given an OPP
portunity Of trying their hands at
something else.-Gazette.
We believe that the Gazette re-
fleets the general sentiment.
There has always been a feeling
in the Republican party that an
officer who properly conducts him
self is entitled to . second term
Of Office. After a man has had
two terms he must indeed be an
extraordinary man II his Office
cannot be equally as well filed by
someone else.
The public has no lack of re-
gard for its old officers, but there
II q sort Of feeling in the air that
In Nevada two terms Of Office and
emoluments are about enough for
anybody.

THE VACANT JUDO SHIP.

Already there is a hot fight 60
~ on to see who will fill the va
c;,ncy on the Federal Bench occa-
oaed by the death Of Judge Sa-
bin.
Some Of the State papers are
beginning to take sides for and
against the candidates, their ideas
seeming as a rule to be governed
by sectional preference. Hints are
being thrown out regarding the
integrity OF tbs or that car didate.
and one paper, while demanding a
high state Of purity ON the part OF
all candidates, endorses a man
whose record will not bear an
hours investigation.
The APPEAL has it from good
sources that the friends Of some
Of the candidates are actively en-
gagged in digging into the records
Of lone Of the applicants with
view Of forwarding to Washing
ton such facts as they may be able
to substantiate.
1t is to be regretted that Ne
vada is to be the battle ground of
an unseemly fight. The Office is
one requiring such a high class Of
ability and personal integrity that
no man who canpotrsta a cruci-
cal test Of character has any bust
9sss to make an application.
The public can rest assured |
that the antecedants of each can
didate will be carefully scrutinized
before an appointment is made,
and there is no danger whatever
of any man securing the prize
who is not fitted for the place.
Each candidate will do well to
look after his own fight and not
try to injure his competitors.
Once in this State rival applicants
for the Surveyor Generalship filed
charges against each other In
Washington, and the result was
that an outsider got the appoint
ment.

4 NEW BooK,-A book by Mary
A. Livermore, entitled, "My Story
Of the War;" has just been put
upon the market. In this new
and superbly illustrated work, the
world-famous authorizes narrates
l.er personal work and experiences
as a hospital and field nurse dur
ing the war Of the rebellion. We
do not know when 700 pages have
given us more genuine pleasure.
Mrs. Livermore spent four years
as q nurse in hospitals, camps, at
the front, and on the battle field,
and these four years were packed
with pathos, glory and sacrifice,
probably never PARALLEL in the
life Of any other woman. Her
narrative presents a vivid inner
picture of the womanly side of the
war, more especially her own
work and thrilling experiences,
with many pathetic and numerous
incidents portraying the lights and
shadows of hospital life. They
are described as only an eye wit
ness and tender hearted woman
could describe them.
