Oh, THE GALL OF 1T.

A western geologist says that Kansas
can raise wheat another thousand wears
before exhausting the necessary proper
ties of the soil. The only trouble that
remains is that Kansas can raise wheat
but will not It puts in its time raising
trouble. 1t IS entirely neglectful of
raising its mortgages. --Springie Dem
ocrat.
Adopting the Atchison Champions
reply, that sort of talk comes with very
bad grace from Missouri paper. AS
compared with that state the "raising
trouble" in Kansas has been boys play,
indeed. In the matter of raising its
mortgages" the Democrat ignores the
fact that the people of Kansas have paid
of larger per cent of their mortgage
Indebtedness than have the people of
Missouri; and it quietly closes its ewes
to the fact that more dollars worth of
property has been advertised for sale by
process of law TO satisfy debts, in one
county alone in Missouri, than in the
entire state of Kansas. Our esteemed
contemporary at Springfield should look
a little more carefully at the facts before
it attempts to prod Kansas. Kansas
gets little off color politically, once in
a while, but it never saw the day during
the last fifteen years that its people
would exchange conditions with those of
moSSbacked and bourbonized poor old
Missouri.

a TRAvEsrY UPON JUSTICE.

Laws which send thief to prison
for stealing ton of coal worth So in
Wichita and allow a railroad company
to charge every consumer 81 more for
hauling it a given distance in Kansas
than IN other states, should be revised.
The penalty for the first offense is quite
proper, and should be enforced to the
letter; but that the latter crime should
go unpublished is al outrage upon the
entire community. The theft being
committed by a corporation has no bear
ing upon the fact. 1t means to the con-
sumer penalty of 20 per cent for the
privilege of living in Kansas. Instead
Of thief carrying away one ton of the
winters supply the railway company
collects its equivalent, OF 81 Pc ton on the
five tons stored away for winter in adj
vance. This is a hardship to every citizen
of central Kansas; first, because il is dead
wrong-a clean cut, deliberate steal, for
which there is no better excuse than
that one man has the absolute right to
rob another. II is :. hardship, also, be-
cause railway earnings are carried out Of
the state by the first mail after payment.
Whether this bonus goes to New York,
Boston or Timbuctoo, it represents a
clear loss to Kansas. We deprecate the
loss of money carried out of the state by
fakes and snide shows, yet this arbitrary
tax is put upon a prime necessity every
day in the year, and purely for the bene-
fit Of foreign investors. Further, it is
hardship because railways obtain their
charters from the people.
There is not road III the state which
has not been literally subsidized by the
territory through, which they pass, and
it may be said in truth that the only
thing consistent with their habit of rob-
bing the public is the snake-lihe suavity
with which the right-of-way and the
subsidy is secured.
1t IS huniliating to the voters of Kan
sas that all attempts to regulate this
infamy by legislation have been defeat
ed. 1t is humiliating, because their own
having the lawmaking
power, have failed toeprovide the means
Of relief; but now that sthe case is to be
heard in the federal court, where Gin.

'idered, we may hope for justice'from a,

The dispatches announce that LARGE
Shipments OF wheat have been engaged
for export, and that several millions of
foreign gold is enroute to this side for
investment IN that cereal. OF course
we want all the foreign gold we can get
on advantageous terms, but it were
infinitely better to do without it than TO
take 1t IN exchange for our great and
valued staple al current ruinously low
prices. There is the biggest kind of =
speculation, and safe one, for our own
people IN wheat at prevailing prices.

The COUNTY CONVENTION.

Republicans, who are SO from princi-

not only hoping but e~Decting that the
coming county convention will be one
guided by patriotism and a desire to do
the very best things possible for the
party and the principles it represents.
The late conventions held blythe Popu-
lists and Democrats. were but dickering
affairs, in which chances for Office were
snapped. To get their pets nominated
and toscatch votes We're the sole aim and
object of those who engineered that
fusion. That is all that fusion means.
The welfare Of the taxpayer was with
them but pretence. Let the Republi-

Nominate only such men as are known
to be the most fit, the most capable of
promoting the interests of the county
