The Goodland Rain Company
no sooner gets out price lists to be
distributed among Kansas farmers,
than a Yankee school master comes
along and cuts rates, offering more
rain and better rain at a reduced
cost price per acre for wetting
down the ground. That is just the
way with great enterprises in this
country. The company will ab.
sorb the schoolmaster, all other
rain makers will be taken in as
they appear, and great monopoly
will result. Then the rain will
not fall alike upon the just and the
unjust, but the wealthy can enjoy
the luxury of a shower whenever
they want 1t, while the poor man
can only sit around and wait the
action of nature.

JUDGE E. II. NORTON is liable
to be in the race for Governor.
His home paper, the Platte City
Landmark, has nailed his flag to Its
masthead and says of him: "An
Office of dignity and trust should
not be the plaything of the young
tyro, but retiring place for those
who have, by services to the State.
shown themselves worthy of the
confidence of the people. X * X
We have placed his name at the
head Of our columns without his
consent and without his knowledge.
We believe that he is one of the
very few men in the State who can
restore the Democratic paSty to its
former prestige. We believe that
the good men of all political parties
will rally to his support, and that
he will give to the State an admin
istratlon so pure and SO sound as
to be guidance and example for
many years to come"
The st. Louis Mirror, referring
to the above, says: sit is safe to
say that Judge Norton did not see
that nominating editorial before it
was written, but at the same time
it may be taken as meaning that
the Judge would like to find out
how a suggestion of his candidacy
would be received. 1t will be very
difficult for the next Governor of
Missouri to give an administration
that would be more of an example
than the present one or to show
that the Office should be a retiring
place for old warriors instead of a
position for young men whose only
purpose is to push to the front the
grand old State. The Democratic
party seems to be in 6rst-rate con-
dition, and people who understand
this fact will be at q loss to know
what is meant by restoring it to its
former prestige,

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Secretary Fos-
ter has directed that all proper facilities
be accorded the governors of souther n
states to examine the treasury books for
information as to who paid the direct tax,
that the tax may now be refunded to the
proper individual, his heir or assignee.
The following letter was today sent to the
governors of Virginia, North Carolina and
West Virginia, and a similar letter will
be forwarded to the governor of each state
where the direct tax was collected by the
government agent from individuals. The
letter reads:
''ln the matter of refund of the public
tax to certain states, provided for by the
act of congress approved March 2, 1891 it
is the wish OF the treasury department to
furnish to the duly authorized representa-
tive of the governor of each state access to
the records of the department under cir
cumstances which will occasion as little
inconvenience as possible. Inasmuch as
the original records can not be removed
from the custody of the government
and as the available space. in the treas
ury buildings is limited, you are re-
quested to name, at least approximate
ly. the date when you will wish your
representatives to make their search of the
records and the number of persons who
Will be thus employed for whom work
room will need to be provided. In this con-
nection the suggestion is made that the
matter would be greatly facilitated If you
would send an agent to Washington to
look over the records which will need to
be examined, and form some estimate of
the amount of work to be done. All facil-
tiles within the control of the department
will be furnished for the purpose indi-
