THE RATE QUESTION.

The question of freight rates and the
Inequalities and determinations prac-
ticed by the transportation lines of the
west has become one of universal con-
Germ, and the principle involved and
which has been made the basis of the
protests against the practice and the de-
mands for reform along;the whole line
has caused the press of the country, out
side of Kansas, TO take it up and discuss
it, Among the metropolitan papers Of
the west that have entered the arena OF
discussion is the Chicago Tribune, and
in order to get at the facts OF the situa-
ton in the territory from which the pro
tests and demands come, that paper a
short time ago sent special CORES ond-

DEMANDS FOR KANSAS GRAIN.

The delegates from this state to the
TrarsmissiSsippi congress recently held
in New Orleans gave much OF their time
TO looking after the states interest In the
grain trade at that point. They found
strong desire at New Orleans for a bet
ter relation to the Kansas grain market
and the board of trade at that city stated
that next fall they would send special
committee up here to see how our IN
snection was done and our grades estab-
hshed. The current wear has been
profitable one with the grain men at that
point. One dealer is quoted as saying
that he had forwarded to Liverpool sew
eral ship loads of Kansas wheat at a
profit of ten cents bushel. New Or
leans is a better point for shipment than
many suppose, and they do large bust
ness, although their facilities are limited
and rather primitive.
The Kansas excursionists who visited
Savannah recently also report consider
able inquiry at that point about grain and
grain products, and with the opening OF
through lines from this state to the
Atlantic seaboard the demond for export
grain is bound to be largely increased.
With these avenues TO the worlds
markets open, in addition to the enlarg-
ing volume already going out by way of
Galveston and other Gulf ports, Chicago
and other northern and eastern markets
will have to increase the inducements
now offered in the way of prices and
] cheaper freight rates, if they hope tc
handle any of Kansas rich harvests OF
farm products.

Senator Bentley,s Letters.

From The Winfield COURIER
The newspaper boys Of the state and
Others have thought al! along that they
bad the joke on Senator Bentley OF
Wichita concerning the large corresPon-
dence and numerous letters written by
Bentley TO the late Senator Plumb. We
have seen reference TO this correspon-
dence IN papers outside OF this state.
Now comes a Sedcwick county veteran
who solemnIy asserts that all OF these
letters from Bentley t. Senator Plumb
were written IN behalf at the 2.J00 old
soldiers of Wichita aud Sedgwick c"un-
ty. This rather takes the edge Of the
Joke and turns il on the other fellows. ss

which he is very likely to do.

The Republican claims to be cham
MON of the doctrine of protection for
projections sake, and upholds and de-
tends it everywhere and on all occasions
except when applied to Kansas indus
try. and then it will make the most tor
.uous detours to get chance to whack
it. By what system of logic or reason
ing the Republican can defend protec-
ton for others and condemn 1t for ITS
own people-advocate it for the beneht
and enrichment of the east, and oppose
il to the detriment of the west, we are at
a loss to comprehend. The statement OF
fact. which the Republican quotes and
would ridicule, that Kansas receives the
whole of the government bounty on sor-
ehum sugar, seems to us an ungetover-
able argument in favor of extending
protection in some form over the young
industry in this state, and also proves
the entire practicability of sustaining

One of the cardinal principles OF true
republicanism is the absolute and per-
petual enforcement between the church
and the state, and this principle has been
iealously guarded and upheld by the
great mass of the citizens OF this coun-
try from the formation of the union to
the present time, and will continue to be
SO as long as the republic is maintained.
And no degree of solicitude for the social
and moral welfare of the community
will ever justify any church organiza-
ton in intermeddling and attempting to
dictate to ii political party what 1t shall
OF shall not do in the matter OF tormu-
luting its plan of campaign, under
threats of withdrawing support and
vigorously opposing the party that dis
regards the church,s demands. The
church that essays to do this not only
compromises its own influence for good
in its legitimate sphere, but Jeopardlzes
the success Of the party 1t thus under
takes to dominate.
