A MEETING of democratic editors of
Kansas is called to be held at Topeka
on July 11tb. There are lots of demo-
cratic editors in the state who would
be present had the meeting been called
at some other place, more centrally To-
Gated. Then, too, the way Topeka has
of treating all visitors does not 90 down
with people of late. The people of that
town appear to think that, because
they have the state capitol they are
privileged to levy backsheesh from all
the rural rOosters who gather there in
any sort of meeting. Our suggestion
is-and we think it will meet with the
approval of the west two-thirds of the
state-that we discourage this habit O:
calling all meetings of any general i'm
portance at Topeka. Besides the gen
eral hogishness exhibited by Topeka,
there is another reason why democrats
should give her the cold shoulder, and
that is that her alleged democratic
paper, the Kansas Democrat,I has lately
made such a spectacle of itself by its
senseless and lonely howl about Hill
that it should be reprimanded by Kan
sas democratic editors generally.

think that democrats will take stock in
his manner of constructing the ''pro-

he does he has but to wait few short
months and learn how utterly insight

his predictions.
The fact of the matter is that Cara

deep that they can't even peep over the
edge of the tureen, and he, like all the
rest of his co-laborers and co-plotters,

this county, Morgan dear; there are

A SINKING HILL.
A Curious Phenomenon on the futile
Farm in bloomfield. Conn.

A Curious Phenomenon on the Tuttle
Farm In Bloomfield. Conn.
jeremiah Tuttle, farmer of Bloom
field, has hill on his big farm in that
town that is sinking into the bowels Of
the earth, says Hartford Comm cor
respondent Of the New York Sun. Mr..
Tuttle has o. .:.tiful farm, most of
which is in a nor1ll..l condition. There
are great fertile meado,.-s. wide reaches
of noble forest, and here AID there spa
cious pastures in which his blooded
cows Craze on heritage that is almost
knee-deep. The queer sinking hill is
In one of the big pastures, in what Mr..
Tuttle calls the crock pasture" The
grass is finer in that one than in any
other pasture in the whole region. Ex-
actly in the center of the big lot is
hill, capacious of girth, but not more
than twelve feet high. The Oldest in
habitant of Bloomfield, who is upward
of eighty-fve years old, afirms that the
hill is as familiar to him as any room in
his own home, for many Bloomfield
people have been in the habit of taking
a ''short cut" home across Jerry's rock
pasture, and that he never noted any
thing odd about the hill until lately.
Now, since the hill. is said to be sinking,
Bloomfield people avoid the rock pas
ture, for they believe it is enchanted.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Tuttle sent his
hired man, Michael Flann igan, who has
worked on the Tuttle farm for years,
to the rock pasture with the COWS, and
in half an hour Michael came home hur-
riedly with startled look in his face
When he entered the pasture, he said
later, he stopped in amazement, for he
saw at glance that the hill had gone
down into the earth several inches since
his visit to the lot day or two before.
To be sure that his opinion of the hill
was a correct one he went close to it
and took an estimate of its height,
sighting across its top" at old-time and
trustworthy landmarks, and was salts
fed that 1t had gone down not less than
eight or ten inches. After he had told
his story, everyone, Mr.. Tuttle, too,
guyed him mercilessly. But Michael
doesn't drink, SO he took the gliding
good naturally, and persisted in affirm
ing that this statement was correct.
His earnestness finally impressed
others, and Mr.. Tutt1e and some of the
neighbors visited the rock pasture with
Flanagan, whose declaration at once
was seen to be true. The hill had sunk
several inches since Michaels previous
visit. Moreover, the hill is still sink
ing daily. Slowly and persistently it
is being swallowed up. 1t is now only
slight undulation in the lot, and it's
top but a foot or two above the rest of
the land there. What is the cause Of
the phenomenon no one attempts to ex-
plain, but the Bloomfield people are
certain that very soon the hill will have
entirely disappeared

The Farmers Discomfort.

The disposition to undervalue the
farmers movement is one of the pro-
foundest mistakes in politics.
1t has gathered many forms of dis
content to its bosom. Like all new
movements, it is afflicted by the crude
thinking of many minds which only
dim1y perceive the true causes of dis
content, and III it's convention utter
aRces it advocates much that is vision
airy. But the movement itself is a
wholesome protest against the tenden-
cies of recent legislation, and it de-
serves something more than merely re-
spectful consideration. 1t is terribly
in earnest, and in one form OF another
it will impress itself for time at least
upon the country.
In essence the movement is demo-
cratic. 1t is protest against monop-
oily, class discrimination and all the
wiles by which plutocracy seeks to in
trench Itself against popular right. But
the men who lead and the men who
follow it in those states where it is
strongest have always been republicans.
They have been accustomed to regard
alliance with democracy as something
discreditable, something to reflect upon
a mans patriotism and to cost him his
standing in society and even in the
church. The revolt. therefore, against
the evil course and tendencies of repub.
lican rule takes first the form of an in
dependent movement. But its better
purposes and its righteous desires fol
relief from the oppression of plutoc-
racy party are essentially democratic
and in due time its strength will mar
shall itself upon the democratic side.
In any event the movement is the
spontaneous protest of a great body OF
citizens against unequal legislation, and
is therefore a wholesome reminder te
both of the old parties that the people
rule, and that the only security either
party can have in its hold upon power
must lie In impartial legislation for al
| the people without distinction OF
classes. New York World.

Covered Cities Whose Streets Were Once
Full of Life and Action.
The city under the sea which has
been discovered between Grade and
Palo, in Istria, is believed to be the
ruins Of elisa, mentioned by Pliny as
situated on an island of that name. A
diver reports having seen the streets,
walls and quays, but the doors and win
dows OF the houses appear to be choked
with silt and seaweed. While on this
subject, says Cassell's Family Magazine,
we may mention that the remarkable
ruins of Zimbabye, which have been
discovered in Mashona1and, are to be
explored by Theodore Bent, with the
aid Of the Royal Geographical society.
Great progress has been made in I'M
earthing the Romano-British town of
Silchester, near Reading. The site COW
ers hundred acres, and is situated on
the Strath6eldsaye estate of the duke
OF Wellington. Walls, gates, streets,
baths and private houses have been laid
bare, and rich collection Of pottery,
implements and coins has been made.
Among these are an iron carpenters

bear witness to fairly high degree Of
civilization among the Ibero-Celtic pop
ulation, who, to the best of our knowl-
edge, made up the ancient Britons. It
is mistake to speak of these, our early
forefathers, as Celts. They were prob
ably more Iberian than Celtic, at least
in England proper.

A Secret Rohhar.

One of the strongest objections to our
protectective tariff is that it collects
its tax from the people. in disguise. 1t
presents no tax bill and signes no tax
receipt. It stretches out it's hand
across the counter in hundred thous-
and stores where the people come to
trade and stealthily pockets their hard
earned dollars.
This fact has called forth the praise
of the high tariff leaders. "See," they
sly, there never was such an admira-
BILE system of taxation; the people pay
it without knowing when or how they
do it," But this is precisely the most
dangerous thing about the whole tariff
system. Where the people pay without
knowing it the rulers can lay the most
grevious burdens upon them, take the
most enormous sums of money from
them, and squander it in the most Law
ish and wasteful manner. All this can
be done, and these same rulers may not
be called to account, for the simple rea-
son that the people. so very secretly
pillaged, come to fancy at last that the
government has some mysterious way
of creating money, that it has some
way if raising money other than tax
ing it from the taxpayers.
The Washington Post, a republican
paper, makes some calculations to show
what our enormous taxation means in
terms of commodities. ''All the gold,
silver, copper, iron, coal, petroleum and
lead produced in this country last
year." says the Post, ''could not pay
the expenses of the government for the
same length of time. ''All the cotton,
all the wool, or all the rye, barley, wine,
potatoes and tobacco produced in this
country in a year, could not do it. The
national banks of this country have a
combined capitalization of $3.50 .O0O, 600.
One years's expenses of the govern
ment would all but swallow up this
sum. The revenue for this enormous
expenditure is acquired in but one
way, by taxation, by levy in one form
or another, mainly::in an indirect form.
