observation-disclosures, from the tlurries in
Wall Street and bank failures that are
shaking the financial world, are fast
losing their credit in Kansas. If they

lation and reputation of honest debts,
and put aside their wild, financial WIS.,
ionary schemes for issuing bonds, and
cropping around in the great sea of dis
aster, in order to find secure founda.

Kansas will lose confidence in them,

The Wichita Beacon seems to be in
a great furry because an effort is being
made to enforce the prohibitory law in
that city. We hold that any paper is
wrong IN discouraging the enforcement
of any law, and thus encouraging law
lessness. We have no fault to find with
the advocates of resubmission; but
with the advocates of lawlessness, and
law defiance we have not one particle
OF sympathy. Resubmisslon is right in
principle; but law defiance is always
wrong

Our exports of farm products for the
past 8 months have fallen off many mil
lion 8, at least SO million, but this need
alarm nobody but republican and dem
ocratic politicians. The larger the pro-
portion of our products used at home,
the less influence the market at Liver
pool will have on our prices, and the
influence of that market is almost in
varibly bearlsh. 1t will be a day of re
newed prosperity for the farmer when
the influence of that market is entirely
broken.

Col. Bob Inge rsoll hit the nail on the
head when he said: "Rich men meet
in the bank, the club house or parlors.
Workingmen, when they combine,
gather in the street. All the organized
forces OF society are against them.
Capital has the army and navy, the
legislative, executive and judicial de-
partments. When the rich combine it
Is for an Exchange of ideas" When
the poor combine it is conspiracy. :"

something, it is ''mob." If they de-
fend themselves 1t is treason

The inventions and improvements of

change in the whole character and pur-

the city press the change has been in the
line of evolution and improvement The
city newspaper of to-day has the same
objects and aims in view that it had half
a century ago. The telegraph and mod

its mission. The county newspaper of
the first half of this century presents
Il marked contrast with that of to-day.
