1t is remarkable to what extent the
Banking business of this country has
grown. Taking 500, 100000 as average
days business for the national banks,
add $500, 10000 as the business of the
unconditional banks and the average
daily banking business of the entire
country may be set down at 5000, 600, 600.
As there are 307 working days in the
year, this years aggregate will reach
$1S4, 200, 900, 900. In this connection it
is worthy of note that the state bank ex-
aminer of Kansas reports the banks of
the state in good condition and doing a
prosperous business. This is an encour-
aging augury for the general business
interests of the state, as the banks serve
as an infallible barometer to the finan-
NAL condition of the community in
which they are situated.

DRUMMERS IN CONGRESS.

Mr.. Rayner of Maryland proposes to
push the house bill allowing CONNER
cial travellers certain concessions from
vigorous enforcement of the interstate
commerce law. OF these the most nota-
bic are the carrying of excess baggage
and the issuance of Saturday excursion
tickets to allow the "boys" to spend
Sunday with their families.
Mr.. Rayner is following in the foot
steps of ex-Cougressman Mason of Hi
nois, who first championed the drum
mers' cause in congress, as the speciai
champion Of the drummer" and it is to
be hoped he will be able to convince
congress that the proposed legislation
would be a public benefit. 1t is hardly
necessary to point out that the railroad
companies would gladly acquiesce in the
concessions proposed. The knights of
the grip are unlike ordinary travellers in
that their patronage of railroads is con-
slant. Their numbers render them a
very influential body and their useful
ness as promoters of interstate commerce
entities them to special consideration.
The application of the interstate COM
merce law is almost entirely one of de-
tail, requiring the recognition of special
interests, which fact is the strongest ar
gument in favor of its repeal 1t always
was fraud and there is little hope that
it will ever cease to be until it ceases to
evistas law.

fall. Can it be truthfully said that the
large salaries and proceeds of many of
the offices, was not the thing that caused
this large numbers of candidates? The
theory is to equalize the pay of all county
officers to something near what the
farmers, merchants, and business men
are making with large capital invested,
and who pay the taxes. This done and
the county will be gamer $50, 900 or $780,
600 year, and the officers just as well
off as they are now and perhaps better.
Respectfully, J. ID. CALDWELL.

This week S issue of the Sumner Coun-
~ Press contained the formal announce
ment that the Press ceases to exist as an
independent newspaper, a consolidation
with the Wellington Monitor having
been consummated. The consolidated
paper will be known as the Wellington
Monitor and Summer County Press, with
Mr.. Campbell of the Monitor as editor.
Mr.. Stotler, editor and proprietor of the
Press, will retain an interest in the ne
arrangement and Will also assist in the
editorial work. Mr.. Stotler states the
double purpose on his part for entering
INTO the consolidation, of giving more
time TO the personal management of his
official affairs-the postoffice at Yelling
son-and for the purpose of strengthen
ing the newspaper interest on its own &C
and in the interest of the party in the
county and state. Mr.. Stotler is one OF
the Oldest newspaper men in Kansas.

press Of the state for more than third

history teaches but one lesson, to wit:
that government aid has been required
TO establish it. France and Germany
furnish CONSPICUOUS Instances of the
truthfulness of this statement, as well as
the benefits that have followed, and yet
we have men in congress who regardless
of the true interests of the people would
strike down this industry from no other
motive than sordid lover of power, and
because through their ignorance and
lack of comprehension of the possibili-
ties of this industry, they happened to
alIay their political fortunes with theo-
ries that led them into opposition to the
development of home industries.

kansas vs.. KANSAS CITY.
From the Troy Chief.

From the Troy Chief
The last decision of the state railroad
commissioners seems to have struck oil.
The railroad companies have complied
with the order, and will cease their dis
examinations against Kansas. The Rock
Island road was the first to come to
terms. Kansas City is bowling about ii;
although it takes immensely of cheek for
one city to claim special privileges over
a whole state. This decision will be OF
immense benefit to wholesale merchants,
manufacturers, and packers of Kansas.
If it had come long time ago, it would
have saved much mischief.

THE REASONS WHY.

From the Topeka Capital.
The Atchison Champion came out for
Hon. N. u. Murdoch for governor some
time since. Recently Colonel John NJ.
Price Of Atchison announced his candi-
dacy. The Champion yesterday ex-
planned that while approaching the high
personal character of Colonel Price it
would continue its policy of supporting
Colonel Murdoch, because it believed it
was for the best interests of the state
and party to nominate Colonel Murdoch.

For the Eagle.
THE BABY


Like a summer without flowers, Gag
without birds, hive without bees, is the hous
without children"
Two wondering eyes of doubtful hue,
Look dreamily about:
What is their color. brown or blue?
We cannot make it out.
He smiles, one-sided, and SO queer,
As only babies can,
And shows the dimple hiding here,
In the check of this wee man.
He lies within a cosy nest,
Tucked far away from harm,
Close up against his mothers breast,
And cuddled in her arm,
A quiet coo of pure content,
He nesties closer down,
And now | only see the top,
or the head so silky brown;
So warm and pink the little feet,
So warm the tiny toes,
And the tender face is soft and sweet,
AS the leaf of June rose.

When it comes to electing a United
States senator the lower house of a state
legislature is most potential in making
the selection, by virtue of its larger
number of members. A candidate
might receive the vote of every senator
and vet fail of election if some other
candidate receive three-fourths of the
votes of the full house. In other words,
it is not necessary for candidate for the
Senate to receive a majority of each
house, but majority of both in joint as
sembly,

TEMPERANCE MAN, BUT NOT SOUND.

From the Kansas Chief.
NJ NJ Murdoch of Wichita is enjoying
a boom. He is very popular in the
Arkansas valley, which he has done
much TO develop. He is self-reliant and
energetic, and would make first-class
governor. He has been outspoken on
the prohibition question, which might
hurt him with one side of that question.
He is practical temperance man, but
as he has not sounded the praises of pro-
hibition and the manner of its enforce
ment in and out of season, he is not con-
sidered Sound"

Parson Sun: The Wichita EAGLE says
that when it comes to the question of
the enforcement of the prohibition laws,
or any other lay. the oath of the officer
to enforce the constitution and the law
is more binding than could be any plank
of party platform. That is true. The
man who will not respect his oath of
Office will not hesitate to violate his
party platform.

ton on the plans submitted for worlds
fair building and awarded the first prize
to Seymore Davis, Topeka architect.

front of the building for headquarters
accommodations, leaving $3.50 square
feet for exhibits in the center of the
building. The second floor will contain
$3.50 square feet for exhibits and 3, $40
square feet in the front Of the building

from the first floor to the second. A
parlor for women and one for men on
the second floor are connected by a

The indianapolis Sentinel, the Hoosier
exponent of Democracy, declares emphat-
ically that Indiana is not for Hill. "
Without doing violence to the truth,
whatever the effect of such an act might
have had upon the Sentiners conscience,
it might have completed the statement
of the whole truth by saying that the
state will be for Harrison if he is the
Republican nominee.

Delaware still adheres to the lash as a
punishment for certain crimes and mis-
demeanorS, ranging from petty larceny
up TO horse stealing. At New Castle one
day last week six whites and six negroes,
convicted chiefly of petty larceny, took
from five to twenty lashes each. In adj
dition to the stripes, three whites and
one negro stood one hour each in the
pillory, for burglary and horse stealing.
The published report of the incident
states that most of the prisoners took
their lashes without betraying much
suffering, few of the five-lash victims
leaving the post with a grin. John j.
Fahey, who received twenty lashes for
burglary, showed few drops of blood.

of being drunkards take few injections

There was also a party of nine mon
