WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE PEOPLES
PARTY IN KANSAS?

PARTY IN KANSASY
This is the question our Republi-
can friends are asking as they see the
announcement that a large number
of our speakers are going to Iowa and
Ohio during the coming campaign.
To relieve their great anxiety on this
subject we will state that the Peoples
party in Kansas will, in business
like way, nominate it's candidates and
go TO the polls and vote for them
when the time comes. That's all that
remains to be done in this state.

RAISE COTTON, BUT

A Montgomery county man was in To-
peka the other day and gave to the Capt.
tai some information as to the adaptation
of the southern belt of Kansas counties
to cotton culture. He said: 1.-The prod
uct for the year was 1900 bales and can
be made 1000, 900 bales In couple Of
years if the farmers could overcome the
feeling or sentiment against its product
ion." There is not much doubt that this
is true: but, while we think it would be
advisable for the farmers to include the
great staple in their list of crops, we are
quite sure that it would not be wise for
them or any number of them to devote
their entire time and attention to it as
single crop, for the simple reason that
no community that depends upon
single crop can become thrifty and ac-
cumulate wealth. The south has in
creased in wealth, the past few years,
very rapidly it is true, and its great
staple crop has been factor in the &C
emulation, but the raisers of the crop
are not the benefciaries. And so it will
be here. Raise cotton, but raise provis-
ion crops, fruit, cattle, hogs, etc, also.

THE BUSINESS OF RAILROADS.

The railroads of the country represent
in their assets something like $500, 900, 900
and, as a genera rule, are well equipped
and in the main operated so as TO handle
the business of the country, amounting
annually to the transportation of 540,-
100000 tons of freight and $4,000, 900
passengers with dispatch.
BY the business of railroading more
fortunes have been made in this country
than in any other branch of business
and the management of railroads has be-
come a great science, a knowledge of
which is one to be acquired with study.
If the interstate commerce commits
sion, the object of the creation of which
was to prevent pooling, and to preserve
a. fair competition, from which light
charges would naturally flow, is sus-
tanned and strengthened in those par
ticulars in which experience indicates
that it may be made stronger and more
servicable to the people the, railroads of
the country will earn for the capital in
vested fair return, while providing the
means for the inhabitants of the country
to transact their business at reasonable
cost; but this furnishes but little argu-
ment in support of the proposition for
control of the railroads by government.
1t simply cannot be done, with any re-
gard for the best interests of the people
of the country.

Now wild and horrible story comes
from Wichita to the effect that away down
about two hundred miles from that place
woman and her children were eaten up
by wolves. Nearly everybody had begun
TO hope that Wichita correspondent was
dead.-Lawrence Journal
If there was no such place as Wichita
the sensational lie maker would probably
make the next best and most noted place
IN the west the base of his mental opera
lions. In respect to the sensational fakes
credited to this city, however, it is very
like the case of noted wit or humorist;
he never says half the smart things that
are credited to him. But, in reference
to the wolf story above quoted. 1t orig
mated in this way: A gentleman from
the western portion of the state was in
the city some days ago, and in answer to
question as to the extent of restitution
in that section he remarked that if we
should have a severe winter there would
be some suffering and he supposed some
would have hard time Of it keeping
the wolf from the door" The ingenius
newsmonger in some other place took up
the statement and changed it to suit his
fancy, and that is all there is to it.

The popular sentiment in favor of bal.
lot reform is widespread in this country
and seems to be growing. The people are
evidently heartily tired of bribery and
corruption in our elective system and are
determined to test the proposition that
the publication of politics is an iridescent
dream The Vermont legislature has
adopted the Australian system, the Re-
publican governor of New Hampshire
advocates it in his message, the law is
talked of in Pennsylvania, and there are
movements in its favor elsewhere. The
new elections bill to be introduced in the
Kansas Legislature at the present session,
and which will no doubt be enacted. does
not comprehend the Australian ballot
system, but Its aim and object is in that
direction.

Detroit has a prospective rival for
Prof. Koch as a consumption healer. His
name is DR.. Shurly and he claims to kill
the consumption bacillus by chlorine,
which he has been able to prepare in
such form that the patient can inhale it..
This form is a combination containing
chloride of sodium or common salt.
Next, to destroy the consumption poison
which DR.. Shurly thinks is in the blood,
he gave hypodermic injections of iodine
and chloride of gold. He tried it on a
dog first, that is to say he treated the
lower animals with his remedies before
he applied them to human patients.
They worked with eminent success, and
now the doctor believes they will cure
human beings. He has been experiment
ing in this field many years.

Chicago Herald for the year 1890, there
were committed in the United States.
4,9OO murders. OF the perpetrators 1O2
were executed according the forms of
the law, and 126 without. The record
shows an increase Of 6S3 murders over
1889, but no proportional increase in
legal executions. If this last showing
shall have the effect to cause the same
ratio Of increase in crimes for this year.
1t will not be surprising if the number of
extra-legal executions is very largely
