At the prices that hogs now bring
on the market, there is nothing that
Kansas can produce that would grow
into money so fast as hogs. The
trouble is, though, that prices are not
always what they should be, owing to
the pernicious gambling in pork
cultures"

GENTLE reader, you remember the
so-called stalwart democrats careered
around over the state just before cleo
tion advising their crowd t?) to vote for
the Weaver electors but to vote the
republican state ticket in preference
to the peoples party ticket. Now what
is the result2 Look at the official count
and you will End that Governor-elect
Lewelling, received six hundred and
ten votes more than the Weaver cleo
tors, from this we must infer, then,
that the stalwart influence is just six
hundred and ten less than nothing.
That is just about the size of it, and
then they have the monumental gall to
ask Mr.. Cleveland to give them some
thing for less than nothing. -Ex.

II Is to be credited to the order of
Knights of Pythias that Towanda was
ever able to build up again. The one
lodge in this town received upwards of
s. 900, every penny of which was laid
out and spent in the town. What the
members of this lodge have received
more indirectly through the order and
used in the improvements here will
never be known but it is hoped that from
policy alone, if fer no higher reason,
TowaDda and community will always
cherish her secret orders, and that the
Knights of Pythias will share in the
general respect and gratitude that is
the due of these orders.-Towanda
Herald.

THE Kansas legislature should at
ttend to the tax laws this winter. No
one has ever given valid reason why
property should not be assessed at its
real value. and our legislature should
take steps to strengthen, amending, OF
improving the assessment laws so that
all personal and real property shall be
assessed at its real vaIue--not one-third,
one-fourth or one half, but dollar for
dollar what it is worth. Then the pen
alties for nom payment of taxes should
be reduced. There are few people who
let their taxes become delinquent who
are in position to pay just at GER
tain time, and the heavy penalties
work hardship upon more really hard
pushed people than upon negligent or
shiftless people. We do not see, either,
just how the 5000 exemption clause is a
good or just one, and believe it could
be abolished to the general good of the
masses.

THERE is such very decided senti-
ment among democrats in favor of an
income tax that unless it shall be
thought good policy to let it go over
until the meeting of the fifty-thi
congress it is altogether probable that
the house will pass bill providing for a
graduated tax on all incomes in excess
of $4,000. No one expects that the
present senate will agree to an income
tax-1t contains too many rich republic
cans-but those who think it should be
passed at this session believe that it
would result in making its popularity
so plain that it would be certain of
passing the next congress, and of be-
coming law, although it is said that
while Mr.. Cleveland does not now OPP
pose the idea, he has not made up his
to favor it.-Westphalia Times.
