There is evidently determination on
the part of certain newspapers in New
York city 10 break down the new law in
relation to capital punishment in that
state, which makes it misdemeanor for
any newspaper TO publish more than a
bare statement of the fact of the execu-
ton of criminal and fixes penalty for
Its violation. The intention of the franz
ers of the law was no doubt 10 cure as
far as possible the maudlin curiosity and
thirst for the sensational in connection
with public executions, and IN this pur-
pose they are to be commended. though
as TO the means of accomplishing the
desired end, the policy adopted Of eN-
Guiding newspaper reporters from the
scene of such executions is no doubt a
mistaken one. Where the reporters are
excluded from the scene of execution,
they cannot be accused of giving sen
saIional accounts thereof, for what they
say, however nearly they detail the event,
is merely guess work aud their reports
must be 50 regarded.

yARMouTHPoRT AT SUNRISE.

It's oh, to be out on the marsh at morn
Where the wind is blowing free,
Just after the golden day is born
And the sunlight gilos the seal
The lighthouse closes its eye Of fire
And the day star fades from sight,
And the sun rays creep down the tall church
spire
On the crest of the neighboring height;
The marsh quail pipes its plaintive note
Apart from the feathered throng.
Whose matin melodies skyward float
Till the air is thrilled with song.
Begenmed and jeweled are leaf and spray
With the tears Aurora weeps,
And Lone Tree creek 10 the sanlit bay
Like silvery serpent creeps.
The sea gulls over 81 Sandy Neck
The marge OF the ocean skim.
And white sail CLEANS like a silver speck
On the far horizons rim
To the south are blossoGning orchards white,
Green slopes and winding lanes,
And the cottage homes where the sun rays
bright
Gid the eastern window panes.
And the smoke wresths curl to the azure skies
From q chimney here and there,
Where silent the smiling village lies
In the heart of landscape f2f.

Where the wind is blowing free,

And the sunlight gilds the seal

Cahe1slav's Error

From the Kansas City Star,
Herr Cahensley, in his second memo
rial to the pope regarding the supervision
and religious instruction of Catholic for
eigners in America, says that emigrants
go to America to earn their daily bread
and not to learn new languages. But
the most valuable help to foreigners in
this country in gaining livelihood is a
knowledge OF the tongue which is en-
plOyed in all business transactions among
the people. The preservation of race
distinctions is opposed to the material
interests of immigrants coming to the
United States, and it should be discour-
aged for that reason if for DO other.

The cost of Improvements made upon

The cost of Improvements made upon
the Ohio river for the year 1899 was$ 49,
120,913, or IS, 4S4 per mile of navigable
water. The number of passengers car
ried during the year was over 2,500.00O
and the freightmoved aggregated nearly
100000 tons. Noting this statement
of facts the Kansas City Star asked
"does anybody suppose that if the Mis-
souri, river had abundant water from
Pittsburg to Cairo that it would carry
only three packets?' Certainly not And
if the Missouri river had an abundance
of water there is little doubt that as
many millions would be spent upon it
rs upon the Ohio. But that's the trouble:
it takes water, and an abundance of it,
to make a navigable river, even when
improved.

The scheme, mentioned in yesterdays
dispatches, adopted by business man.
ayers of the Alliance, of having the
Kansas farmers to corner their wheat
and the Georgia farmers their cotton and
thus force the prices of those products
up for the benefit Of all producers. is a
very high compliment to the two states.
1t implies that the states named are the
largest producers of the commodities
mentioned not only, but that the farmers
of those states are in better condition,
financially, than any others. In carry
ing the scheme into effect, however, the
promoters will have 20 be exceedingly
adroit IN order to evade the antitrust
law passed by congress, as the move is
clearly a combine for the purpose of
etfectlng the values Of articles of COM

The Hutchinson News tells of one
farmer of Reno county who has forty
acres of flax which is going to prove a
very profitable crop. He says it will
yield from fifteen 30 twenty bushels of
seed TO the acre, and that the seed will
bring from $3.50 and 81 per bushel and
will find ready sale at that price TAX
ing the lowest estimates as TO WELD and
price and the crop of seed alone will
bring the farmer 5000 cash, or S92. 90
per acre. If the farmer will prepare to
take care of the fiber portion of the crop
also ne will double its cash value. The
fax crop can be made as valuable crop
as Kansas farmers can grow and it is
matter of some surprise that it las not
been added to the series of money crops
by Kansas farmers generally.

a Question OF EQUITY.

From the Kansas City Gazette
In 1867 the interest charges on the
bonded debt were S143. 900. 600 and the
pension charge only 20,000, 900; the
soldiers afterward waited while the bond
holders were being paid. The inter
est on the public debt is now S26, 600, 600
while the pensions amount to $132 .000,-
600. If it were not for the soldiers the
bonds would have been worthless, and
yet the soldiers are now receiving an
nuaIly in principal less than the interest
on the bonded debt twenty-four years
ago.

There is no doubt that the banks will
gladly extend the sol, 100000 of a per
cents at two per cent during the pleas
ure of government. In fact, the banks
holding these securities cannot well help
themselves. They must accept this low
rate of interest, if they would not pur-
chase four per cents. which command
too nigh a premium, or else they must
surrender their note circulation. Of
course this extremely low rate of inter-
est should not be regarded as test of
the borrowing capacity of the govern
ment The extension is rather in the
nature of forced loan than anything
else, in the condition in which the banks
are placed.

The farmers in Tennessee have changed
the name just little and call it the
farmers reliance" Their platform
embodies three planks as follows:
'"Work hard ten hours in the day. Work
300 days in the year. Never go to town
without carrying something to sell and
never buy anything without paying for
it." Let the Tennessee farmers stand by
that declaration of principles and they
will be independent and prosperous de-
spite the chicanery of the political dema-
gogues of whatever persuasion.
