The Wheels Revolve.

AS the President was concluding the
final sentence his eyes wandered to
table that was close at his left hand
Upon this was the button. the pressure
upon which was to start the machinery
and make the opening of the exposition
an accomplished fact.
AS the last words fell from the Presi-
dents lips, he pressed his finger upon
the button.
At one and the same instant the audi
ence burst into a laundering shout, the
orchestra pealed forth the strains of the
Hallelujah Chorus, the wheels of the
great Allis engine in Machinery hall
commenced to revolve.
Before leaving the grounds, President
Cleveland accompanied by Sec. Gresham,
drove to the Irish village on the Midway
Plaisance. Here he was entertained by
the Countess of Aberdeen, assisted by
Lady Arnot, and her daughter, Clara
Arnot. After he had made the grand
tour of the Exposition, Mr.. Cleveland
was thoroughly tired out The rest of
the time until his special train started
for Washington, he spent in his car
chatting with friends and visitors
Meanwhile the public was having the
full run of the grounds for the first time
and was enjoying itself thoroughly. 1t
was cloudy all the afternoon, but no
rain fell, and the crowd did not mind
the mud. From noon until the last gate
closed, the broad avenues were alive
with throngs moving from one to another
of the big bulldogs, and sweeping
through the Midway Plaisance in an I'M
broken current. The grounds to-
night were brilliantly illuminated.
Every one saw all the sights possible.
and at last, when the hour for departure
arrived, went away with the resolution
to come again tomorrow. 1t was 10 to-
night when the Columbian Guards
chased the last straggler from the
grounds, About 20 persons were taken
out of the crowd today in fainting con
dition. No one was seriously hurt.
Director of works Burnham declares that
100000 people passed the turn stiles to-
day, a number far in excess OF the most
sanguine expectations. ThessMissouYi and
Iowa State buildings were formally dedi-
Gated this afternoon.
President Cleveland's train left at 515
p m. amid the shouts of the crowd at
the station. When the presidential and
ducal parties today visited the building
devoted to Manufactures and the Liberal
Arts, thousands of people forced their
way past the guards into the building.
All the foreign commissioners were in
gala dress and their sections were elab-
orately decorated to receive the Presi-
dent. Bands from Germany, England,
France and Japan were stationed in the
respective courts and the visitors were
royalty welcomed The President.
Duke, and other prominent men, while
at the grounds, made the round of the
lagoons in electric launches. The banks
of the lagoons and every bridge were
packed with people cheering all along
the line. Afterwards at the entrance
to one of the buildings the president
shook hands with many in the crowd
who pressed upon him, saying to each
one II am glad to meet you"

MIR. Pleasant Dlspananry.

CHARLEsToN, 5. g., August 10
Judge James +. Izlcu, Of the State
Circuit Court, has filed decision in the
Mount Pleasant dispcusary case. Some
tlme ago, number Of attorneys ap~
pearcd before him and presented Il pc
utlou to close the dsDcnsarv, on the
grounds that the dispcnsary Law IS un-
constitutional, and also alleging certain
irregularities IN the manner in which
w. Nj. Williams, Ike dispenser nL
Mount Pleasant, was appointed. The
decision dissolves the Temporary niunc-
ton which had bccn granted, and dis
misses The petition, on the ground that
the petitioners did not show that thew
would be Injured bV the operation OF tho
dlspcnsary Ia v. and therefore haI no
reason Tor asking a curt Of equity for
preventive relief. The desison does
not touch upon the consilutinnAlily of
the dIspcnsarv act.

section a fine on our Woodworking
farmer for being industrious and i'm
proving his farm, at the same time the
speCulator enjoys bounty for allowing
his land to lie idle, and for keeping some
one who needs land from going on and
tilling it?
Under the above bill, the speculator
would pay S63 tax and the farmers tax
would be reduced to the same amount.
OF course there are many who advocate
taxing personal property, real wealth;
that is, the harder you work, the less
you eat; the more you save, the more
we will tax you. Now, il the above were
law, in those counties where such tenets
of social economy predominated, they
could tax the industrious to their hearts
content, for they could, il they 80 de-
sired, raise ali taxes for public purposes
by taxing personal property, exempting
all other values. But the true object of
the bill is not to tax men for being in
dustrious, for producing things We all
want and of which the more we get the
better we feel; but to tax that class Of
idlers, vampires, dog,in-tEemanger
spectators, who for years have been
living off of the lsborers, without paying
their just proportion of tax. Is there
anything wrong about it? If not, care
not what your politics are or have been,
ask your senators and representatives to
help pass such law. We want legisla-
tion this year In favor of the men who
feed us. r. T. SNEDIKER.

What would you think of wholesale

neighboring dealer ia an adjoining town

WAGON at S70P This is exactly what the
railroads are doing to the implement
dealers Of Kansas. It Seems to be the
policy Of the railroads to fight and out
rates outside the limits of Kansas and to
reserve the traffic OF Kansas to make
good their breaks, and to enable them to
make satisfactory showing in their an
nual reports to the owners in the east.
ut is time the people of Kansas took
measures to protect themselves from this
unjust discrimination by reducing the
earnings from Kansas traffic, that rail-
road managers would be compelled TO
make up the losses from Encouragement
and foolish wars elsewhere than in Kan
sas. Our state unfortunately seems to
be situated between an upper and lower
railroad milestone, and is ground from
both sides as the exigencies Of the rail
roads demand or the schemers Of traffic
managers make necessary"

He Knows Judge Mckay.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-The following state.
ment is made in the Kansas City Star of
the 18th inst:
Judge Mckay. who was elected to the
bench by the Populists because of the
advantages which he enjoyed for assini j.
lating ignorance OF the law adjourned
his court at Anthony last week to 90 TO
Topeka and take hand in the state
house "scrap."
The qualification here ascribed to
Judge Mckay 10 sweet in comparison
with the qualification Of willful ignorance
Of simple fact. In Judge Mckay we
have marked ability with the best Of in
tentions, and it may be stated for the in
formation Of the Star (?) that il the
people in this part of the country should
ever be compelled to take choice of two
evils, they would much prefer mediocrity
with good purposes to ability combined
wish rRscality.
Judge Mckay continued his duties in
court and did not go to Topeka. Note
in addition that assimilatiDg ignor-
ance" is fat contradiction in terms,
and the alleged advantages could not
have existed before election as a motive.
The statement is out Of joint with fact,
out Of joint with time, out Of joint with
logic, and out Of joint with every thing
but wanton and sslf-evident fslsshood.
Why insult the intelligence Of people
with such elf-condemned statements?
