THE TROUBLE Y II GossIPs.

The trouble with gossip, says the Atch-
ison Globe, is that nine-tenths OF 1t IS
not true 1t may be that when people
do bad things, other people have right
to talk about them, but the trouble Is
that many victims of gossip are not
guilty.. There is so much danger In do
ing wrong in spreading gossip that most
decent people have resolved not to do 1t.
There is rule in the best newspaper
offices that sensational things should not
be published until there is I. shooting, or
a case in court, and the rule would be a
good one for general adoption.
The best people don't talk possip even
when they know it is true: it is only a
waste of time, and can only result in
disgusting people with humanity in gen.
eral. But TO talk it indiScriminately Is
to aid malicious persons in injuring
innocent ones The favOrite weapon of
malicious people is gossip; you aid them
to punish deserving people by repeating
their talk. A man or woman guilty OF
an offense is very apt to accuse others OF
the same offense on slight provocation.
The people most given to gossip are
Usually guilty themselves. Tins rule
very seldom fails.
The cieanest and best people do the
least gossiping. We do not believe in
revelins in a scandalous story even when
it is VIGOROUSLY true, but 1t is moral
crime to repeat gossip On hearsay. for
the reason that YOU are very apt TO inquire
innocent people. Nearly every one has
personal knowledge of scandalous stories
that are untrue, but they were talked
about with great vigor in spite OF the
fact that they injured Innocent people.
This is worth remembering IN every
case of gossip: it may be untrue. The
chances are nine to one that il IS untrue
If people realized the harm gossip does
to innocent people, they would quit 1t.
Starting stories" is the favorite weapon
Of the meanest people, and good people
should not encourage them.

IN a PRETTY PICKLE.

The Democratic party has disfran-
chised its members in Kansas. Ii a
Democrat wants to vote for Cleveland
he must go to Missouri or somewhere
else. He can vote for Weaver but there
are to be no Cleveland presidential
electors in Kansas. Grover, nor Frances,
nor baby Ruth are at all in it SO far As
their admirers in Kansas are concerned.
The Democrats have big rallies and
Cleveland hurrahs, but when it comes
to voting it will be for them Weaver or
nothing. Our Democratic brethren are
in pickle sure enough, not even their
self-respect being left them by then
leaders.
Cleveland will not receive single
vote in the great state of Kansas IN
November.

A TIMELY W AIMING.

The suggestion of the Railway Age
that all the railroads of the country
unite, and arrange and adopt uniform
rates of wages for employees in the
various departments of the service, and
thus remove the chief cause of conflicts
between the companies and their opera
ting forces, is timely one, and while 1t
may not be practicable TO make an arbl-
trary scale, the suggestion affords basis
for some sort of arrangement that Will
put an end to the constantly occurring
conflicts between the railroads and their
operating forces, the Interruptions to
business and consequent losses, not only
to those Immediately interested but to
the community. II the railroad COM
panies of the country would consult their
own best interests they would lose no
time in arranging some plan, either con-
certedly or independently, by which the
wage question may be settled on basis
mutually satisfactory and permanently.
There is no denying the fact that con-
siderable number of people throughout
the country, not connected with the rail-
ways, favor the control of the railroads
by the government, and it is just certain
that this sentiment is largely the result
of strikes, lockouIs and other forms of
conflicts between the managers and the
men in the railway service, and unless
something is done to stop these harras-
sing and costly occurrences the senti'
ment viii continue to grow and spread
until it makes itself felt in the action of
the government.

A STRONG CANDIDATE,

The Larned Eagle-ODtic, one OF the
leading Democratic papers Of the state.
pays Hon, w. c. Edwards, the Repub
lican nominee for secretary of state, the
following very high and deserved COM
compliment:
"The nomination of w. c. Edwards
for the position of secretary OF state by
the Republican state convention last
week was an honor of which all citizens
of Pawnee county irrespective of party
affiliations are justly proud. Mr.. Ed
wards nomination is one Of the very
best made by the convention and the Re-
publican ticket is measurably strength
ened by his presence on it. The ticket
as whole does not reflect very great
deal of credit on the Republican party
of the great state of Kansas, but the
nomination of Billy Edwards more than
that of any other one man on the ticket
goes a great ways toward making it
an eminently respectable ticket even for
the Republican party to nominate.

RISE IN FARM VALUES.

1t has been several years since the
business in Kansas farm lands has been
as encouraging as it is this spring. For
a number of years there was great rush
TO California. then to Colorado and
Arizona, and finally to the Pacific coast
northwest, with more or less diversion
at intervals toward the south.
Now, however, a steady demand for
Kansas farm lands has set in, which is
confined to no particular portion of the
state, but embraces it all. THIS infusion
of new "bone and sinew" is already
making itself felt, although summer has
scarcely opened and the Kansas move
ment has little more than begun.
Good farms are in steady demand at
good prices and principally for cash, and
there is perceptible increase in the
market value of farms, both improved
and unimproved.
Many farmers in the eastern states
who have sold out at good figures are
coming into central and western Kansas
where they can buy cheaper and set up
dSdlu W IN d SdoIl SUI llluS' Anu, ny tiIO
way, this movement of itself is a good
send-off for the more western portions of
the state, for most of these farmers have
been in Kansas before and their new in
vestments are based on actual know
ledge of the productiveness of this sec
ton.
And it may be added there will never
be better year for investment in Kan
sas fertile farming lands.
That the tendency of prices will be
steadily upward for the next five years
is the Judgment of every well-posted
and ebservant person. Good lands as in
the corn belt" will never be worth less
than at present. They are sure TO be
worth a great deal more, and it is the
EAGLES judgment that no better invest
ment can be made during the present
year than in q Kansas farm.

The circumstance that the Carnegie
Iron company, hold large contracts with
the government for structural iron and
steel will have more to do with hasten
ing the pending trouble to settlement
than all the legal technicalities the law.
yers can suggest on both sides. If the
contracts are not filled as stipulated they
will be forfeited, and as they represent
the principal portion of the company's
business they will not be permitted to
lapse without a strong effort TO save
them. Our guess is that the wage scale
will be signed by the Homestead branch
and operations resumed in few days.

Now that the Democrats in the house
have passed their little bill placing tin
plate on the free list--it isn't law yet
and will not be until the senate passes
and the president approves the. bill,
which will not occur this year-is will
be in order for that party to fit out a lot
of peddlers with supplies OF tinware and
start them through the country. selling
it at half price or giving it away, the
emiSsarieS all the while proclaiming the
great reduction in prices TO be the effect
of removing the tariff on tin-plate. This
would be a logical counterpart of the

AS I have said, the development

which Wichita can secure the advantage

have no authority for determining the
matter. Respectfully,
E. P. STEPHENSON,

The enactment referred to was voted
on at general election and carried, but
the state supreme court annulled it. The
legislature afterwards passed the law
now in force, which is modification of
the old law, though it is strongly opposed
by the Democrats, and they are endeav-
orrng to capture the legislature this year,
to secure the absolute repeal of the pro-
hibitory feature of the law.
