Yes, kansas.

From the Atchison Champion.
Kansas is young. She is still in panta-
lettes, but she walks at the head OF the
procession. She has planted her banner
in the garden of Ceres and Pomona, aud
its shining folds reach upwards To the
stars. Approach her with a whine and
she will spurn you with contempt.
Pluck resides in kansas-located here
way back in the ''fifties," and the fam
lily has grown up well nigh to the two
million mark. In the past decade 1t has
spread over the entire $4,000 square
miles of its blessed soil. In that time
the family Of Pluck in Kansas has raised
more wheat and corn than any other
state. Kansas * all right. Stop growi-
ing. Quit pouting. Cease having tie
blues. Stand up for yourself, aad an
eas will stand up for you.

ARE OUR CIRCUIT COURTS CONSTI
TUTICNAL.

II is announced from Topeka that there
viii be submitted in a few days case to
test the constitutionality of the circuit
court of Shawnee county, and the decls-
ion in that case will settle the question
OF all circuit courts of the state. Since
these courts were established by a special
act of the legislature the question OF
their constitutionality has never been
decided by higher court. The fact
that the court does not have power 10
enforce its own judgments is one of the
questions that will be taken into consid-
Grafton. Another important fact, ac-
cording to the statement Of the Press, Is
that the attorneys in that county are ill
inc but very few cases in that court
They seem TO ce afraid that it is not con-
stitutional.
The same point was raised against the
branch OF the supreme court, created by
the legislature and known as the SUI
preme court commission, but the court
proper saved the possible defect by pass
ing upon the findings of the commits
sioners, thus making them the decisions
in fact of the highest court The singu,
lar feature in this connection is that so
important a matter should have been un-
settled 50 long, though it Is not likely
that the act of the circuit courts in gen.
eral will be invalidated by any decision
the supreme court may make upon the
question raised.

CORN PRICES.

A somewhat careful investigation as
to the prices stock-feeders are having TO
nav. and which farmers in Kansas are
realizing for yellow and mixed ear corn
delivered at the railroad station indicates
that the range is from - to 32 cents per
bushel, with probably the Lulk of what
is marketed just now being handled at
2S and 90 cents. This pertains to the
eastern half of the state especially,
where corn is great staple crop and
used on an extensive scale in fattening
stock for market Strictly white corn
for milling purposes is worth 1 to 2 cents
more, and prices on all grades are con-
stantly stiffening. The following shows
the difference in prices now prevailing

TIE SABBATH EVEN-TIDE.

Now through the twilight air
Comes low and clear
The bells;
Far off in voices fine,
Through purple distance rare
And soon an answer near,
Bold throated, wells.
The dusk and dew are mine
The NAPLES sway and sigh,
With leaves a thrill
Sweet slips Of girls stroll by,
With rippling laugh subdued,
While richer voices fill
In the interlU1e.
From tender gloom of plains,
The cows file past.
Their steady, slow footballs,
In rhythmic murmurs beat,
That wanes
AND dies at last:
While from the dim church walls
Trembles the bell time sweet.
Faint, cold the darkenlng day.
The Sabbathness,
With its peculiar power,
Seeming to put away
Toll. and WEAKNESS.
Deepens when each bell throat,
Filings from the dusky tower,
Its Sombre note.

silver Men Hold "a EiQ Meeting in New
York City.
New YORK, Aug. 24.-Three thousand
people listened tonight at Cooper Union to
speeches in behalf of the free coinage of
silver and applauded and cheered viRor-
ously. The proceedings were opened by
Hon. John G. Boyd. ''You arc heie," he
said, ito p! oclaim your faith in tho doc-
trine inculcated by the founders of your
government, that the unit OF value must
stand on both gold and silver. Tonight
and for the futu g, let the watchword aud
cry of every honest and indepen dent Amer
loan citizen be. Fee coinage for free peo-
ple.'"
Richard Lacey was made chairman and
delivered brief address. The claim, he
snid, that under tho free coinage Of silver
money would shrink In value. was absurd.
The unconditional repeal of the Sherman
act meant the putting of premium on
gold. The United states. he said, could
maintain silver dollars at pnY ~ long - the
government endures.
Gen. A. j. Warner said the panic was
caused not bv the fall of silver. but the
rise of gold. IL has risen at an unpre-
csdented rate since 1873 and its rise Is sure
| TO be accelerated.

ported. They declare that the real and
