WOMEN AND REAL ESTATE.
why More Ambitious Girls Do Not Sue
ceed as Brokers.

A veteran dealer in real estate, a
woman, says the way TO become deal
err in real estate is to find a house some
body wants to sell and then find some
body who wants to buy it. When you
have brought these two together you
pocket your commissions. If the sale
amounts to one hundred thousand dol
lars, your share viii be five thousand
dollars. This is what she tells the num-
bers of women who have come to her
and said: II have lost everything
must go to work. / think viii go into
real estate" They hear her delighted

hears Of them again.

a matter that can't be argued into ac-

The certified figures, as given out by
the state canvassing board, on the con-
stitutional convention question are 49,
49i for, and 49, 57 against, showing a
majority against, of the votes cast on the
proposition, of 446. It is asserted that if
the other 81, 173 voters had voted on the
question the result would have been. the
defeat of the proposition by majority
IN the same ratio as that shown by fig
ures given, which would have made the
adverse majority only about 600; but
this Is mere guess work. There are good
reasons to believe that large majority
of those not voting favor the proposition
and would have SO voted but for the inn
preston that obtained with many before
the election-the result of ingenious cam
paign work on the part of Jealous ants
that the proposition would fail to
carry. 1t is the writer's conviction that
if the proposition could be voted on
again next Tuesday it would carry over
whelmingly.

SOUTHWEST KANSAS ENTERPRISE

From the Larned Eagls-optic.
George W. Watson, of this city, is
superintendent Of the Arkansas Valley
Land and Irrigation company. just at
present he is engaged in closing up con.
tracts for the breaking OF 90, 900 ceres of
land in Pawnee and eight contiguous
counties. II is one of the most gigantic
agricultural undertakings of recent
years, and will undoubtedly add much
to the future prosperity OF this part Of
western Kansas. His plan of operation
IS systematic and simple, and Is easily
complied with 10y all parties who enter
into the contract.
The company gives $3.50 an acre for
breaking, and the work Is generally
done By men who are renters of the
compsny's lands, There is . clause
in the contract that binds the man. who
agrees TO DO The breaking, to sod-cut all
broken land on the tract and seed the
same TO wheat before the 18Th dav Of
February, 1898. Tie contract also speci-
flies that sky acres are to be broke from
The lst day IF December, 1892, to the
lst day of July, 1893
The terms Of the contract are so ar
ranged that the company is enabled to
see its way out in the matter Of expense.
and IL also gives e. the renter On oppor-
tunjty 10 possess himself Of considerable
ready money during the winter months.
Besides the discussing Of $50. 600 among
our farmers. il vii. have a salG AIRY effect

The proposition made by Representa-,
tive Caldwell to reduce the letter post
age to one cent is uncalled for and un-
warranted by the exigencies of the times
or the demand upon the service. Com
paratively few people would be benefit,
ted TO any considerable extent by reduc-
ing the postage rate, while everybody
would realize the advantage of increas-
ed facilities for the prompt transmits
sion and delivery of mail matter, and
the department will find quite as much
as it can do and can use all the money
the government can provide in extend
ing the delivery and collecting system.
The department has accomplished won
ders in this direction and in improving
the general efficiency of the service, and
the public decidedly prefer that the good
work done along these lines be continu-
ed rather than that the rate of postage
should be lowered at the sacrifice of fur

avoidably result from the proposed

The most unique boycott yet mention
ed is that PUT upon the Georgia railroad
by the supporters of Tom Watson in the
Augusta district. Watson announced
an Indignation meeting to be held at his
home in McDuffie county one day last
week over the ''outrages" perpetrated
upon him by the Democratic managers
of the district of depriving him Of large
numbers of votes that he was justly en-
titled to. Many of his supporters live in
Augusta and rather than patronize the
railroad, which they say worked against
Watson, the whole crowd walked from
that city TO Watson's home, thirty-five
miles, and back. The trains are running
on the road on schedule time, just the
same.

TRUSTS AS BLESSINGS,
From the Troy Chief.

From the Troy Chief
Judge Riner handed down" singular
decision in the United States circuit
court at Topeka last week in q case
brought against railroads for violation of
the antitrust law. He decided that such
combines and trusts were not contrary
to public policy, because the effect was
to reduce instead of increase prices. He
cited, among others, the Standard OIL
trust, under which the price of coal oil
had been gradually decreasing. He did
not seem to tske into account that the
cheapening of articles of necessity is
brought about by competition, by i'm
proved facilities and processes, and. that
these combines are for the express pur-
pose of preventing a decrease of prices
to the extent they would go under open
competition. The man who imagines
that any combine is intended to benefit
the general public instead of tie persons
in the combine is wide of the mark
Why did not Judge Riner refer to the
coal combine as a public blessing, form
ed for the purpose of increasing the
price of hard coal 90 cents per ton.

John P. st. jain denies the statement
that has been published to the effect
that the Prohibition vote fell off $4,000
since 1885, He quotes the returns for
both years. to-wit: Fisk's vote in 1888
was 249, 945; Bidwells vote IN 1892 was
80 coo. So instead of loss of $4,000
there is a positive gain Of 10000.

Mr. Cleveland should hurry up his de-

There are several statesmen who desire
to make up their gigantic minds on the
subject, but at the same time they want
to think the Cleveland way. However,
congress may conclude to determine the
matter for its successor by changing the
time of meeting for congress from the
first Monday in December to the first
Monday after the 4th of March. Such a
change is proposed and it is not improb-
able that it will be acted upon.
