In its annual report just sent to
congress, the interstate commerce COM
mission states that the railway mileage
of this country is about 100, 900 miles.
That the number of railway employees
exceeds COG, 900, and adding to these
the number connected with railroad
transportation in various capacities,
such as officials of roads, officers and
employees of associations, traffic solic-
ltors, legal advisers and other, the
aggregate is not far from 100000 or
nearly one-twelfth of. the adul' male
population of this country. The 6usi-
ness done includes the earria ) of
540, 900, 600 tons of freight and A. OO0-
600 passengers. To the ordinary mind
these figures seem enormous a. yet

whole matter so as to make g. 81 in-

The Chicago Times prints twenty
four columns of opinions gathered
from the editors of the country touch
ing the presidential contest in 1892.
They show that the sentiment of the
country as reflected by the press, is
quite generally crystalized in relation
to the candidates. Most democrats
and all republicans look upon Cleve-
land as the inevitable democratic lead
er, while most republicans and all DEM
ocrats give Blaine the chieftaincy of
his party. 1t would not be surprising
if another battle between the famous
leaders should ensue, in which the
Plumed Knight would have an easy
victory.

Father PETER.

The paternal Solicitude with which
Father PETER is looking after the well
fare of his alliance legislative child
ren. Imbued with the idea that they
are his political offspring, he is contin-
ually reminding them of the dangers,
snares and pitfalls into which they are
likely to fall as soon as they get away
from their corn fields. He proposes to
have two nurses accompany each one of
them to the state capital to see that
they dc not "attend theatres or form
any new acquaintance" or 'stroll
about the streets" and fall into the
hands of visiting angels oily
tongued ministers and republican
ghouls, and to see that they are all in
bed at proper hours, and the covers
snugly tucked up around their feet and
that the gas is turned down instead of
blown out.
Lest some of these innocent states
men should make themselves ridiculous
Father PETER in last weeks Kansas
Farmer tells them just how they shall
conduct themselves in their advent in
to the arena of craftsmanship.
OF course they are all to meet in To-
peka-nOt in Lawrence, LecomptOn or
old wneesCity-but Topeka, the cap
ital of the state. They must not wait
until March or April, but gather their
corn and be ready to go to work at law
making about the second Tuesday in
January" and all be on hand at "12
o'clock m" of that day. The house
will not be called to order by the presi-
dent nor the governor but by the Sec
rotary of state, and they must not pay
any attention to anyone else calling
the roll besides Bill Higgins. Notwith-
standing the rolls called and they
have all answered to their names, they
must not make the ridiculous blunder
of trying to pass laws until they are all
''sworn in" Those who don't swear
can affirm. Care must be taken that
nobody proposes man for speaker I'M
til every member is sworn in and Bill
Higgins asks who they will have to
"preside over the deliberations" IN
due haste in that direction might indi-
cate greediness for Office. Voting
must not commence under any cOnsid-
Grafton uutil 1.-THE candidates which
have been agreed upon by the different
parties are announced" And no one
must claim the election Of his man IN
less he has received "a majority of the
votes" After the election somebody
must tell the successful candidate that
he has been elected speaker and he
must be shown which chair he will be
expected to occupy and that it is one
of his duties to 'take charge of the
proceedings" Then they must go to
work in a similar manner and elect the
other officers, the names and duties of
which the late Secretary Chase would
learn in an hours examination of an
old House Journal
In addition to these great many
other minute instructions are given to
the imbecile statesmen by their wise
father of the Kansas Farmer, which if
rigidly followed will make their pro-
ceedings appear eminently respectable.
1t is a source of great deal Of con-
ISOLATION to know that in case the posi-
ton of our statesmen should at any
time become awkward or embarrassing
Father PETER is located very near to
the capitol building and could be called
in at moments warning.
