IL the great cowboy race of a thou
sand miles, from Chadron, Neb., to Chi
cago, had taken place half a century ago,
before the country was checkered over
with railroads and telegraph lines, the
achievement-which was really marvel
ous-would have given the broncho a
great boost. The race demonstrated the
staying qualities, the powers of endur-
ance of the broncho and its valae as a
long-distance courier, but these qualities
are not in special demand at this time,
and probably will not be again in this
country. About the only place left for
the why little steed is for the cowboys
use, and his occupation is practically
gone. However, Few place may be
made for the mustang. Since'the speed
of the racer seems to have reached the
acme in the regulation race distance of
mile to mile and half, turf fanciers
may take it into their heads to change
the turf sport and introduce the lace of
hours or days, with the broncho in the
title role.

The proposed north and sounth railroad
is to be built on wind, and as there is no
north and south business it would have to
be run that way a!so.-Lawrence World.
That is probably true as to the build
ing of the proposed road, but it is not
true as to business. On the contrary,
present and prospective business north
and south, west of the Mississippi, is
impelling the great railway systems of
the west to reach to the utmost limits in
both directions, and with increased
transportation facilities along latitudinal
lines the great volume of traffic that has
hitherto been carried east and west will
swing to the other directions-is so
changing now as facilities afford. A
north and south road along the lines
proposed for the one under considera-
ton, would be a great thing for this
country, benetiting every inhabitant
within its reach; but we confess to very
little faith in the success of the move
now making to construct it. True, some
wind is necessary in such undertakings,
but they can't be carried out on wind
alone, and there doesn't appear to be
anything else back 81 the Nebraska

OUR WORST ENEMIES AMONG US.

The facility with which few Kansas
people set up the calamity cry for every
adverse wind that blows is, to say the
least, amusing. If the temperature
happens TO Use degree or two above
normal the Cry of shot winds goes up,
and the news is heralded far and near
that crops are burning up in Kansas. 1t
Is little wonder that such reports are
taken up outside when they have their
origin very often with our own people
1t seems unaccountable that any one
who reads weekly paper should suffer
| from these attacks of calamity in
the face Of facts with which any
and every school boy should be
familiar. 1t is quite well known
| that no state Of the Union has advanced
in material wealth as rapidly as Kansas.
1t is fact also that she stands right in
in the front rank in agricultural pro-
ducts and more than once has distanced
all other states in the total yield of these
same cereals which are annually dis
stroycd by drouth and hot winds. 1t is
trite saying that ''the biggest fool is
an old FOOL" but the author of this
axiom left out of his calculation the
fool who refuses 10 be convinced.
Where the conditions are both present.
as in the case of an old settler, we
have the stultus magnum of
the entire lot. In Illinois or
Iowa the ravages of bugs, army worms,
drouths and excess Of rain are simply
regarded as incidental to farming. the
conditions scarcely being known in the
adjoining county, but with us it is diff
ferent, LET us live in hope if we die
in despair that some time Kansas may
be rid of this species of the genus homo;
that he may find pastures green on some
barren shore where his wailings will at
least possess the merit of truth.
We say it is mysterious that such people
should find place among US. The only
solution OF it is the fact that there may
be all excess of population without visi-
bic means Of support. That goodly
number of Micawbers and erstwhile
capitalists should remain clinging to the
remnant Of suddenly acquired fortunes,
waiting for lucky turn of the tide, is
not surprising. Out of employment,si sick
at heart and poor in worldly goods, that
weakest form of cowardice asserts itself
in the habit of placing responsibility
every where except where it belongs.
This may account for some Of the strict
ures Laid upon Kansas. Others may be
guilty but the fact remains that COM
plants may be heard from the above
named class upon the street corners and,
if we mistake not, we have found it in
the columns of what sometimes pass for
newspapers Such news and such
croakings may be gratifying to its
authors but il is hard on Kansas.

In one respect, at least, the Cleveland
administration is following the pre-
cedent of its predecessor in the matter
of appointments for Oklahoma: it is Civ
ing Missouri the lions share. If the lat
ter is as fortunate as the former was in
naming good and competent men The
Oklahomans will have no special kick on
that score. Still, and nevertheless. the
home rule idea is not an unreasonable
enc, particularly where there are Sd

For wide gulf yawned between US,

And parted. with untold regret:

For in the beautiful days long fed,
You had given me with kiss,
And loving glance of your beautiful eyes,
A little wild fiower-like this.

And slowly vent to rest.

Yet why, oh why my heart.

From the Inter-Ocean.
The simple truth of the business is that
Great Britain has taken one more step,
and very important ore, toward carry
ing out it settled policy of forcing the
world to a gold standard Early in the
century. as soon, in fact, rs its COM
mercial supremacy had given 1t financial
supremacy, and it became the great
creditor nation of the globe, England set
about securing the gold standard. 1t has
brought the entire German speaking

has been trying TO bring the Unite d
States down to it. Unless some great
nation stands like a rock against mono

The Pittsburg Kansan says the Peo-

nishes ample illustration of the fact that
traitors and hypocrites inside the ranks
are more dangerous to any cause or
party than are open enemies. 1t says:
Under the name of fusion, handful
of unprincipled, but shrewd political
pirates IN the Peoples and Democratic
parties have been able to hoodwink and
mislead the honest men of both these
parties into reckless, office hunting
combination. These audacious spoils-
men assume airs of authority to which
too many well meaning but thoughtless
people do homage, and thus encourage
the plotters and self-seekers to make
further raids on the unsuspecting rank
and file."

Organized to Convict.

From the Lawrence journal.
Ii Lizzie Borden is convicted, the
verdict of the jury will be. not that she
committed the crime, but that whatever
the officers and detectives think is so, is
so if it isn't so. The fellows have made
up their minds to convict her, guilty or
innocent, and her acquittal will be a
terrible blow to them. They can better
afford to sacrifice her than they can to
lose their prestige. 1t is just possible,
not probable, that she is guilty, but if
she is the prosecution is not prepared to
prove it.
