Among the resolutions adopted by the
conference of the Federation of Labor at
B rmingham, Ala, Thursday, was one
favorng governmental control OF the
telegraph lines of the country. Nothing
is said about the railroads, although the
control of the latter by the government
would not be half SO menacing to the
rights and liberties of the citizens of the
country as the former. The omission re-
ferred to may be accounted for by the
fact that the federation is composed
largely of railroad employees, in various
capacities, while the telegraph operatives
have very slight, if any, representation
therein. But that is natural enough. 1t
is so in all departments of life. You see
it depends.

THAT ALLIANCE COMMITTEE.

From the Topeka Capital
The house investigation committee
was billed for a return engagement here
yesterday, but they failed to put in an
appearance. Mr.. Evans, the state house
contractor, received a telegram from
Chairman Dumbauld that the investiga-
ton would be postponed until he should
see fit to call the committee together.
The fact is, the members are eating
enough of this attempt to find corrup-
ton where none exists, and are not
anxious to take it up again, for they
have reached the end Of their string and
found nothing.
Mr.. Dumoauld admitted to Com
missioner Smith that the prosecution
had no more witnesses to present. At
torney Waterbury hasted to limit this
statement by saying ''unless something
turned up before the next session of the
committee" The $500 allowed for at
torney's fees is not entirely consumed,
and the investigation" will probably be
continued until the poor taxpayer has
been bled for all the law allows.

From the Leotl Standard
The Hutchinson News, correspondence
from the private secretary of the gov
ernor's Office is splenetic, touching the
suitability of Murdoch as the Republican
candidate, maybe.
The more is the pity that this should
be the case. When it gets to that pass
that man who possesses the good quail
tiles we know Mr.. Murdoch to have and
which this correspondent attributes to
him, cannot secure bis just deserts on
account of those attributes, it is time for
US to pause in our mad career and anx-
iously inquire "whi,her are we drift
ing" The sooner we do away with this
sort of politics and politicians the better
for the country at large.

Chill had better hop along with that
reparation The new Browning gun,
which has been submitted to a series of
tests by the Winchester Repeating Arms
company of New Haven, Conn, has
broken the record for rapid firing, a
single barrel having discharged 900 shots
in one minute. The ammunition used
in this new gun is fed in by a web sys-
tenn. Such a fusillade would make a
single gun the equal of regiment on a

The Parson Got No Fee.

From the Preston Plaindealer.
Rev. Mr.. Glendenning married a couple
a short time ago who had been properly
licensed by the probate judge. The judge
afterwards had curiosity to know the
length and breadth of the fee received by
Brother Glendenning for tieing the knot,
and, meeting him on the street last Sat
urday, plumply put the question to him.
The question was evaded by the parson
and the judge then said: 'Tll bet you
did not get anything" and the parson
replied: ''Tll bet so, too, the fellow
stood me off," They both laughed and
passed on.

A Big Bonanza tor Kansas.

George w. Veale of Topeka, who
goes about the state great deal says a
million head of cattle are feeding in
Kansas. These will be sold next spring
and summer, and will bring $50, 000,000
into the state. This money will not be
sent east to pay interest or mortgages,
but it will be kept here at home, the
banks having advanced loans on the
stock. The $50,000,000 will therefore
go into immediate circulation, and its
good effect on business cannot be esti-
mated.

now at Lake Wood, n. j., and those who

cheeks. When she drives out it is muf-
fed in furs, cloth leggings and wraps,
with her husbands strong right arm at
her back for support.

TO A MAIDEN.

She greets the lily on the stalk,
She shakes the soft hair from her browE
She waves down the garden walks
Beneath the bloomy boughs.
She Is the slenderest of maids:
Her fair face strikes you like star;
The great stone tower her pathway shades
The prison where the princes are.
Across the dewy pleasance falls,
All in the clear May morning light,
The shadow of those evil walls
That look so black by night.
