WHICH REMINDS US.

The amendment proposed by Senator
Daniel to the house worlds fair bill pro-
viding for celebrations at Washington,
in New York harbOr and in Hampton
Roads in 1892, preliminary to the open
ing of the fair in Chicago in 1898, &C
cording to the Baltimore Sun, merits at
tention. The demonstrations proposed
that paper says, would to some extent
mitigate the absurdity of holding a fair
IN 1898 to celebrate the 400th anuivers-
airy Of an event that occurred in 1882
They would serve the further good pur-
pose of consoling at least two of the
cities that cOntended with Chicago for
the fair, and would in part satisfy the
large element Of our population that
wish to take part in celebrating Column
bus great exploit, but cannot undertake
to go as far west as Chicago to do it,"
The entire action of the east in the mat
ter of the proposed worlds fair-the
schemes resorted to and methods en-
ployed to prevent the great event from
being commemorated in the west, re-
minds us of the hog that stands under
the sheldering oak and fattens on the
acorns that it bountifully dispenses, but
never looks up nor gives so much as a
grunt in recognition of the benefaction
received,

KANSAS METHODIST PULPIT"

Geo. w. Crane & Co., publishers at
Topeka, have just issued a book of three
hundred pages with the above title, well
printed and bound in cloth, its frontis-
piece, a fine picture of Bishop W. X.
Ninde. The books contains a collection
Of twenty-four discourses by Ninde and
the leading lights of that church in this
state, together with some twenty pictures
of presiding elders, and was compiled by
Rev. J. w. d. Anderson. No price is
stated. a hasty glance through its
pages leads US to conclude that this
book will prove an interesting work to
Kansas Nethodists generally and val
liable contribution to the archives Of
that church in this state. The faces of
four or five preachers, who are well
known to the pulpits of Wichita and
Southwestern Kansas, appear in the
work, among whom are Rice, Hanna,
Hodson, Bodkin and carp.

stating that the present city admiuistra-

THE NAPOLEON OF SOUTHWESTERN
JOURNALISM.

From the Topeka Republican.
Nothing does SO much to build up a
city as a well conducted. liberal, con
sentative newspaper. Never was this
more clearly demonstrated than in the
city of Wichita where day after day
and far into the night, the editor of the
EAGLE is found at his post carving out
the way to secure great enterprises. and
inviting the people from distant states TO
seek a home in the far-famed Arkansas
valley. Her citizens fully appreciate
the services of this interchangeable worker
for their common good, and at all times
stand ready to encourage this very Ma
poleon of southwest journalism, and
champion of THE city of destiny and
of a valley. of whose soil it is said, ''but
tickle it and it will laugh with a golden
harvest" We say all honor 10 Col. NJ.
N. Murdoch for his labor in the upbuild-
ing of Wichita and the development of
the great southwest.

of land in Murdoch township, Butler

the acts Of this government can do it.

also soon become next to an indispensable

1t has been amusing to read the indig-
nant protests and assertions OF slack
census work or fraud, that has gone up
from city after city throughout the west
as the census returns have come in.
st. Paul led in the matter and has no
doubt unearthed some frauds in Mime
apolis, the latter city enters a counter
charge and g. new enumeration has been
ordered. The a of protest has at
last reached Rapid City. and behold our
enumerator, according to the journal,
was incompetent and 2.O74 doesn't
nearly represent the city's population.
What u nuisance the census is anyway,
especially to cities that have established
their population-on paper. The great
objection to low figures is the compar-
ison with cities of higher figures, and
to believe the numerous reports OF errors
would simply increase the population Of
all cities in like proportion so that it is
well to let the figures stand. Rapid City
surely has no reason to complain. No
doubt some have been overlooked, as
always happens, and yet as the Pioneer
states in speaking of Deadwood and
Rapid City: Sin the accumulation OF
wealth neither has any right to COM
plain" And in the case OF Rapid City
her population is q fixed one, not COM
posed OF the floating element in many
western cities. The great majority W

present and future Of their city. The
quality Of a population cuts a greater
figure than the quantity.

THE R

Notwithstanding the Pioneer Press has
written the alliance party out of existence,
that organization still gives signs of ami
nation, with the prospect that it will be
q pretty lively corpse before the election
is over. It is possible that in the case of
the Pioneer Press the wish was father to
the thought when it solemnly averred that
the alliance party was dead. It is still the
horrid nightmare which disturbs Governor
Merriam'sf ambitious dreams, and his or
gan would readily snuff it out of existence
if such q thing we're possible. But a party
which sprsags into life in response to the
demands Of an oppressed and tax-ridden
class, constituting, as it does, the
basis OF all material prosperity, is not apt
TO expireat the command Of q machine
organ. When new parties are manufac-
tured just to snit the purposes Of design
ing politicians their sudden collapse is in
the natural order Of things. But it is diff
sferent where 8 party is founded on princi-
pie, and where 1t assumes organization
vithout the aid Of the professional politi-
CLANS. The alliance movement in this

It is with regret that we see the Rapid
City Journal lend it's editorial approval to
the criticisma upon F. A.. Leavitt's Mitchell
speech, We do not know that Mr.. Leavitt
said that he believes the original package
decision of the supreme court to be the
result of an agreement with the brewers
syndicate. There are a great many people
who, while they might not word it just that
way, have an abiding conviction that the
money power, Of which the liquor synd1-
Gates form a part, have a controlling grip
upon every department of our government.
To avoid as far as possible personal Of
Tense, we will say that all these men are
built that way. The personal of the su-
preme court. is not above the personal of
presidents, congress and the hosts of lordly
arlstocrats and their sycophants whom the
monty power has placed in authority over
US. The supreme court is the last resort,
and it's unpopular decisions are precursors
of revolution. We do not say bloody rev.
olution, but we do say revolution. Now,
make the supreme court the last ditch of
monopoly and oppression if you want to
DO SO, but remember the people are not
afraid to overturn wrong wherever it may
show it's head.-Dakota Ruralist.
