diction outside of the state. Kansas
roads having lines outside the state
can make such rates to the state line
as they see fit and our commissioners
can do nothing; but when they cross the
line into Kansas. II IS a different matter.
The board simply says that II road can
haul car load Of sugar from New Or
leans to Kansas City at a certain rate 10
can haul it into the interior Of Kansas at
something like a propoTtionate rate. The
board denies that u is worth 40 cents
hundred les TO haul car load 81 sugar
from San Francisco through Hutchinson
20 Atchison than it would be 70 drop this
car off at Hutchinson.
There is no foundation for the demand
for a similar reduction in rates on bro
ken lots that has been ordered IN car
lots one is local rate, the other -
through rate. IL local rates through
out the state are too high they
should be lowered equally all around
but that has absolutely nothing 10 do
with charging interior lobbers more
for the last two hundred miles ot
through haul than is charged for the 6Tsg
thousand miles Of the same haul

The assertion that General Caldwell of
Topeka, candidate for congressman at
large, is not an Office holder, will not
wash. He is an office holder now and
has been filling some party place practic-
ally ever since he came to the state. 1t
is very safe thing to say that none but
an office holder or an ex-otfice holder,
and practical politician, will receive the
nomination for congressman at large or
the nomination for any state or other i'm
portant Office in Kansas. Every candi-
date now i'll the field has grown gray in
office, and most of them being in Office
now, and the so-calIed young crowd
are not in it even a little bit, except as
they worm in for a chance to suck the
teat of barnacle.

The southern wing, which is the big
wing, of the Alliance are greatly per-
turbed over that section of the st. Louis
platform which demands that ex-Union
soldiers be paid the difference between
gold and the greenbacks which they re-
ceived for their services. The southern
majority intimates that if the federal
government should be compelled at the
same time to pay for the slaves whom
Lincoln freed that they might consent to
the paying of the boys in blue who car
ried out the decree of the immortal
emancipation. The Kansas Alliance is
yet to hear from although it is intimated
that their leaders, Jerry and PETER, are
divided on the question.

THE MORMON BLOT.

An unusual degree of interest touch
ing the Mormon question has been re-
vived of late by the frequent cropping
out of the latent feeling among the
saints of antagonism against the restra-
ints of law that hedges about their llcen-
tious practices, Notwithstanding their
professions of loyalty TO the government
and willingness to conform their actions
and mode of living to the requirements
of decency and the forms of law.
Recent events in Utah show that that
territory is not yet ready for statehood.
The Mormon Democrats and the anti
Mormon Democrats have split and
selected separate delegations to the
Chicago convention, and the Repub-
licans have done the same as to Min
neapolis. IL a speech before the
Sixty-second Mormon conference, which
is still in session in Missouri, Apostle
Richards declared that those people
who believe they have received all
the revelation they are TO set are
mistaken, and ex-Delegate Cannon
said that the church was advancing
with mighty strides and that the
hearts of the people of the east had
been softened, and they now all
have friendly feelings toward the church,
and President Woodrow told them that,
as people, they cannot deviate from
the duty mapped out for them if they
expect to have TIE blessings of God
shOwered upon them.
President Woodrow's talk has not the
conventional meaning which would
attach to it if uttered before Christian
body. Polygamy was one of the duties
mapped out for the Mormons, according
to their revelation, and the main trouble
with the Mormon question is that the
Mormons are taught that they are
peculiar and separate people. The Nor
mon church is an organized conspiracy
against the United States. Its civil
polity is just as binding on its members
as its religious polity. They are no more
citizens of the United States than the
law makes them.

IN Its history Bloomington had women

Congressman Clover is credited with
saying that the Democrats have been try
ing to fool the people on the silver ques-
ton; that they wanted to give the i'm
preston that they were for free silver
and had it within their power to pass the
bill but when the time came they
flunked. He says 1.-THE Democratic party
can be held directly responsible for the
defeat of the bill, and this, if there was
no other reason, ought to prevent any
combination between the Democrats and
Alliance men in Kansas or any other
state" In view of the personal derelic-
ton Of the accuser in the same connec-
ton the accusation is gall superlative;
but that is Clover's most characteristic

Here is an easy means of determining
whether a supposed diamond is genuine
or not. Pierce hole in card with a
needle and then look at the hole through
the stone. If false, you will see two
holes, but if you have a real diamond
only a single hole will appear. You
may also make the test in another way:
Put your finger behind the stone and
look at it through the diamond as
through a magnifying glass. If the stone
is genuine you will be unable to distin-
guish the grain of the skin, but with a
false stone this will be plainly visible
Furthermore, looking through a real
diamond the setting is never visible,
whereas it is with false stone.

Some counties have raised the full
amount; some a part, and out of the
amount raised they have paid in 10 per
cent of their quota. Some counties have
not raised a dollar.
Reconstruction in this case will be a
blot upon the record of Kansas that we
cannot afford. Now is the time for ac-
ton. Let partisanship and politics and
sectionalism be buried. Let every county
at once get to work, and make it
possible for Kansas to make such a
display as Kansas only can; such a dis
play that the whole world will look on
and wonder; such display as will be a
pride and honor to our state and cause
migratory thousands to seek homes
