Orang ez.

Rough, brownish oranges are said TO
carry in their complexion "a guarantee Of
sweetness, the peculiar appearance beng
due to the attacks OF insects who have
selected them for this very quality. This
may be true, but 1t would be hard TO find
better oranges than some OF the smooth
skinned heavy fruit that are beautiful "a
well as good. Ia the choice Of oranges
the matter of favor seems to be surpris-
ingIy ignored. The average man or
woman prefers a very sweet orange. and
likes Floridas because they are sweet
There is finer flavor, however, IN the
Mediterranean fruit. For some reason
this is increasingly difficult To find
in market until the rush Of Florida
oranges is over. II they only knew It,
the Florida growers are hurting their
market by sending sour, unriPs fruif.
For weeks after these oranges appear ia
the market they are q disappointment 20

Florida oranges gained and can easily
keep under suitable conditions

The situation N Topeka, bad as it has
been, and as humiliating as it is to every
true Kansan, is no worse than is pre-
sented in several other states, about
which latter little is said. The gossips
outside of the state who are pretending
to deplore the condition of affairs are in
fact, many of them, gloating over what
they evidently hope will eventuate in
seriously compromising the state in the
popular estimation and damaging it ma
terially beyond repair. These disinter-
ested friends q viii please understand
that when their counsel or advice is
needed by Kansas she will call for it as
promptly as she undertakes to settle her
own affairs in her own way.

The Parson Won
from the Atchison Patriot.

From the Atchison Patriot.
Many Of the leading negroes of the
state met in Topeka Tuesday night and
organized themselves into a political
body for the purpose of advancing the
political interests of the lace. None of
the three political parties of the state
were mentioned in the constitution.
Quite a spicy debate occurred during
the adoption of the constitution over the
words NEGRO and "colored." Our
townman, Parson Irvine, held that the
word "colored" was meaningless as ep-
piled to the negro race, and that if the
words negro" or "black" did not APP
pear in the constitution he would not
become a member of the organization.
The parson won his point, and the men
of the convention now call him the
BLACK Knight of Kansas"

to help make up Populist majority.
Jerry, the clown, sits in a chair and
yells, ever and anon putting his five
fingers to his nose and wagging the same
as school boys are wont TO do. Harris,
the Populist congressman at-large, who
has declared that if Carlisle is chosen
secretary of the treasury by Cleveland
that it means open war, looks grand,
gloomy and peculiar, and says uothing.

HIGH RAILWAY RATEsIN ENGLAND.

The new railway rates have been tried
for a week. and there Is not CITY or
section of the country from which the
most violent protests have come. There
never was country as held in the grasp
OF the railways so this Is. and vet, with
rates that are already prouibitive. tie
figures have been increased from Jan. l.
America cannot conceive the extortioE-
ate charges which the manufacturer
and farmer have 10 pay As tribute TO
the railways. Potatoes. butter. eggs.
vegetables, meats. coal, everything used
IN daily life, has been made dearer since
the first of The year. As matter Of
absolute fact Minneapolis Is nearer Lon
don than any Of the cities Of England.
New York Is within thirty-sve miles
of London. so far as rates are concerned.
Places forty miles out of town paw more
than New York pays. Il Is cheaper t.
ship 300 miles by lanG-from Minneso-
Ii 10 New Gork-and 5000 miles bv

The Rights of Dramatlsts.

The American dramatists must be
getting strong when they can impose
ironclad contracts on their managers.
At the recent monthly dinner of the
club, held under the presidency of Mr..
Bronson Howard, a model contract was
submitted TO the members IT had
been signed by a prominent manager,
dealing with a prominent author. it
bound the manager not only TO pay
royalties, but to print the authors
name in certain type, to keep the play
on the boards till the author was sure
it had had 4 fair chance, to produce no
other piece until the popularity of the
play in question was exhausted and to
do many other things that would have
shocked manager of olden days into
paralysis or paresis. Nobody blames
the dramatists for taking this stand.
After years of obloquy and contempt
they have now what is popularity
known as "the bulge" If one manager
does not want their work another does.
The foreign stage no longer supplies
the needs of the American public.

The movement to construct a ship
canal to connect the great lakes with
the Atlantic ocean on United States ter
ritory would seem to be plausible enough
in many respects, buff the government
IS asked to undertake the job at proba-
bic cost of 800, 600, OO0,as was suggested
in the Duluth convention Thursday, a
very large section OF the country will
certainly object. The whistle will be too
dear at that price. Such a canal would
be a convenience to large section of
country about half the year, being closed
by ice and from other causes the other
half, while it would be detrlment to
other sections during the same length of
time in the seasons adversely. Half the
sum named would insure half dozen
deep harbor5 on the gulf and south At
lantic coast that would accommodate
the entire west and northwest and Just
as advantageously as the proposed canal
If it could be kept open the year round.

One Of the strongest arguments vet
made IN favor Of opening the worlds
fair on Sundays is found in the very
brief remark OF Miss SUSAN r. Anthony.

do good work as any other day, and I
suppose the fair Is TO do good work. "
II the latter clause Is not true-if the
purpose and object OF the fair as not to
do good to all hepeople, especially those
who may visit it-then the government

substantial aid and moral support and

Walks over Herself.
From the K C. Star

The virtuous outburst from Mrs. Mary
Lease to the effect that the row in the
Kansas legislature 'is worse than all the
drouths and grasshoppsrs that have ever
visited the state" comes rather incon-
sistently from the woman who three
days ago was making the incendiary
speeches which furnished a spark to the
tinder Mrs. Lease should 90 into ex-
ecuUive session with herself before she
talks: she has a record on most every
conceivable subject on earth and, as her
memory is poor and her convictions
wabbly, she is prone to step on herself.
