Many changes have come in the form
and attachments of the bicycle since it
jumped so suddenly into popularity few
years ago. 1t has dropped from high to
low, and pneumatic tires are well on the
way toward forcing the smaller solid rub

OUR HUMANITY.

No true American will read the ac-
count of the arrival of the Indianas car
go in Russia and tram gaily bedecked
with the stars and stripes, without a
thrill of pride.
The departure of the train was made a
matter Of great ceremony; President
Harrison and the car were toasted and
the locomotive which pulled SO much
comfort and solace to the starving peas
ants, literally smothered in flags.
This spectacle is gratifying because 1t
impresseS on cur minds that we are emil
nently country of humanity. Our
gates from the first have been thrown
wide open for the oppressed of all coun-
tries. This was unprecedented. But we

pense, across wintry seas, and into tyran-
nical governments for the relief Of suffer
ing humanity.
4 people made up Of all nationalities,
we hold the people of all the world our
brethren.
We have national pride without nation
al prejudice. The United States IS not
friendly, nor will it ever be, to form
of government such as Russia has. but
the people OF the United States are the
friends and brothers Of the Russian
people.
This Is not true of other governments
The English people dislike the French;
the French the Germans, the Germans
the Russians
But the people Of the United States
are the enemies Of no people. Our Gov
eminent is quick to resent diplomatic
outrage, but for every man on this ter
restial ball, the true American extends
helping band and an open heart, in
times of hardship and distress.

RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION.

Bulletin No. 164 issued by the census
bureau is a compilation of statistics re-
lating to railway transportation and
embraces all the section of country south
of the Missouri river including Arkansas,
Kansas, Indian Territory, Colorado south
Of Denver, and New Mexico north OF
Santa Fe. 1t furnishes an exhibit OF
the operation of the railways within the
territory described for the years 1880 to
1889, inclusive. The points of special
interest are the increases in business
during the term mentioned. For instance:
The length in miles of all lines operated
in 1880 was 1928, in 1889 it was 1868.
The total number of employees in 1880
was II sol; in 1889 the number was 81
sos.
The number of passenger cars in SER
vice in 1880 was 54S; in 1889, al. OF
freight cars, 10, 1916 and IS, 755 for the
two years respectively.
Number of locomotives in service in
1880, 1913; in 1889, 2, 42S.
Number of passengers carried one mile
in 1880, 1907, 1862; in 1889, II ,343, 146.
Tons of freight one mile in 1880, 1.0S3,
pa, 4S4; in 1899, 3,767, 1866, 1911.
Earnings from passenger service in
1880, 50, SGT, 376; in 1889, SCI, OS3, 54S.
Earnings from freight service in 1880,
So, $50, SS3; in 1899, S52,719, 5S3.
Total earnings and income in 1880,
SIS, 166, 1871; in 1889, S77, So, 301,
Total expenditures in 1880,
$36, 161 $50; in 1899, $75, 942, C7S.
1t will be noted that the rate of in
crease in each of the items mentioned
during the nine years was about 100 per
cent, except in the number of passen-
gers and tons of freight carried, and the
receipts from that service, which in
creased each about treble.
As affecting the present freight rate
controversy between the Wholesale mer
chants and railways of Kansas, the
point might be raised by the former that
with the great increase in the facilities
of the railways for doing the carrying
business of the country, which increase
being largely in the nature Of permanent
fixtures already provided and paid for
are not legitimate charge upon the
current business of the lines, they are
enabled to establish and maintain a
greatly reduced rate of charges. But,
inasmuch as no such demand is set up
by she complainants, the demand they
do make for a more equitable basis and
schedule of charges, is very greatly re-
inforced and strengthened by the show
ing made from the bulletins statistics |

MOB Law.
From The Memphis Commercial.

From the Memphis Commercial.
When the moo undertakes to do the
work of the law, it brings the law into
contempt. Ii fails to answer the ends of
legal punishment because it is itself q
crime, and it brings forth after its kind.
The excuses made for mob executions
usually have no basis in truth, and in
far too many cases the act of the lynch
ers is in degree no better than that of
the criminal who dies by their hands. 1t
is sometimes said that the failure of
justice III the courts excuses the sum-
mary punishment of criminals without
process of the law; but we recall only
one case in which this excuse can be
upheld. In nearly every case where the
mob takes the life Of criminal he would
have received the severest punishment eff
the law. The mob never touches the class
of criminals who escape legal punish
ment for crime. The rich murderer is in
far less danger from the mob than he is
from the law. 1t is only the friendless
criminal, who has no means of securing
a sympathetic or corrupt jury, in whose
case legal justice is never tempered with
mercy, who dies at the hands Of tie mob
The truth is, that there Is more of pure
blood thirstness than of honest indigna-
ton in the average mob. If the truth
were known it would be shown that the
men who took the prisoners from the
Jail the other night and lynched them
are men of deprayed and brutal instincts,
who seized upon this pretext to revel in
the shedding of blood. That they &C
complished their object SO easily, with
no resistance, with no effort to stop their
bloody work, is fact which demands
more explanation than it has yet re-
ceiYed

DEPARTMENT OF MArRIMoNY.

From the Springfield Democrat
Uncle Jerry Rusk sent some cucum-
Der seed TO farmer out west last year
The man had success with hiscucumbers
but bad luck with his wife, for she ATE
too much of the rare fruit and died. In
recent letter to the secretary OF agri-
culture he said:
Your blamed cucumbers robbed me
of my wife; SO insseSd of sending me
cucumber seed this spring, send me
another wife. l hear there are num-
Der of likely women III your depart
ment."
Ii is said since the letter was shown
around that the maids Of the agricultural
bureau, without reference to age, have
become too sour TO pickle. And now
some irresponsible person without the
fear Of billiards. or other means of tor
ture at the disposition of the department
of agriculture has given utterance to the
fake. the general purport Of which is
that Uncle Jerry is contemplating the
establishment of a matrimonial bureau
among those justly indignant females.
What under heaven the author of this
canard could have been thinking about
no one who has not been a reporter in
pursuit of something to fill up space can
imagine. The ladies who are now in the
federal departments are there principally
because they don't want to get married
This reflection upon the motives for their
presence calls for hair pulling. They do
not go TO Washington TO get married.
The daughters of congressman do that.
They are there for what there is in the
offices. Also to see how the government
is carried on and TO help out the good
work and to study social science as
displayed at the capital, and-well, they
are there for anything else except to get
married

The commissioners of the Western
Traffic association and the Kansas railroad
commissioners appear TO be built on al
most the same lines. The Kansas com
missioners have attempted to discriminate
against Missouri jobbers, while the traffic
association commissioners have ATTEMPTED
to discriminate against the entire travel
ing public As usual in such arbitrary
movements, step too far has been taken
and the object aimed at defeated-St. Joe
News.
The ofiense alleged against the Kan
sas railroad commissioners is their de-
termination that the disadvantage at
which Kansas merchants and people
We're placed by the railroads as 10 those
OF Missouri in the matter of freight rates
should cease. Ii, therefore, the order of
the commissioners TO the railroads to cease
their Determinations against Kansas and
kansans and to establish fair and eeui-
table rates lie discrimination against
Missouri and Missounans, then are the
commissioners guilty? In brief: not TO
discriminate Ia favor of Missouri is TO
discriminate against it. This is the logic
OF the accusation againt the Kansas rail-
road commissioners, and the state of
Kansas stands for the defense.

1t is announced that Harter and

two sides of the free coinage
proposition, are to discuss, jointly, the
question outside of the halls of congress.
If this proposed discussion can be made
to take the place of the wrangle in the
house that seems inevitable it will be a
good thing for the country, as it will
give the house some time for the trans
action of business, something it has not
done so far.

Last year Kansas wheat crop was ex-
ceeded IN volume by only one state,
Minnesota, and that by only about a
half million bushels. From present
conditions of the winter wheat crop it
is altogether probable that Kansas will
take the lead this year for, although the
acreage is not above that of last year,
the condition of the crop, up to the
time it was covered with a blanket of
snow week ago, was such as to give
promise of larger aggregate yield than
last years. In many counties, especial
ly in the central and western portion Of
the state, farmers claim the best pros
pect they ever had at this time of the
wear.
