IT IS suggested by an attorney OF ex-
perience that the laws passed by the
legislature should all take effect at
period long enough subsequent to the
adjournment of the legislature to admit
of their being published before they be-
come operative, At present most of our
statutes take effect from and after their
passage, and it not unfrequently happens
that statutes are repealed or so amended
as to give them different effect, and yet
attorneys in court apply the old statutes
to cases under trial, not having any
nowledge of the repeal or amendment.
Several cases in point were cited by the
attorney making the suggestion.

CONSTITUTION tinke.ine is one .,i ,ht
prominent features OF every session Of
the legislature, and that fundamental
law of the state is beginning TO look like
a crazy quilt, and it is hard work to tell
where we are at. Would it not be wise
for the present legislature to set in mo-
ton the machinery by which constitu-
tion'lcommission should be created which
would go back to the very foundation and
evolve new homogeneous and consist
emit constitution? The state never has
had but one constitution, that of 1857.
when it was admitted, and it has out
grown it to a degree that calls for
new one. The statutes have not been
Systematically revised since 1878, and it
would be well to have new constitu-
ton and a thorough revision under it.

THE RATE FIGHT.
The Railroads Introducing Rebnttal Test
mony 1T the Hearing in This City.


mony at the Hearing in This Cry.
From the Topeka Capital.
The attention of the board of railroad
commissioners was occupied all of yester-
day by the continuation OF the rate fight
inaugurated by Wichita against the rail-
roads of the state.
The testimony yesterday was entirely
rebutting that introduced by the Wichita
board of trade at the session OF the COM
missioners at Wichita, Juue 20. The tes-
timony will be continued today and will
probably require the whole day. n day
will be decided upon for the arguments.
The case includes three complaints, ask
ing for reduced rates between the Missouri
river aud interior jobbing points on lum-
ber coal and agricultural implements. lie
is practically the same old tight between
the Missouri river JQboers anu the interior
iobbers. involved in the famous ''Anthouy
decision of the old board ana which is
now hung up in the supreme court by in
junction proceedings begun by the Symus
Grocer company OF Atchison. Should the
present board grant the same rates in the
new case as Anthony granted on sugar,
coffee, canned goods and beans 1t would
probably result in another injunction.
River iobbers objected to the great
difference Anthony fixed between car
load rates and less than car load
rates On one commodity this difference
WAS "a cents-15 cents on car load lots and
- cents on less than car load lots. On
Others the difference WAS not so great, but
in no case was it less than ~ cents.
With such a difference in the Two rates
the Missouri river jobbers claim that they
/ could not compete with the interior job
/ bers on small shipments in territory 100
miles west of the river, ana they viii con
tend before the board that the difference
ought to be in no case greater than
/ cents hundred pounds, that being the
! difference fixed by the interstate com
merce commission on interstate business
after taking into account the increased
proportionate cost Of handling smalsaots
/ over handling car loads
The Missouri river jobbers have not
/ thus far appeared il the present tight.
! but their interests and those of the rail
+ roads are identical. ana the latter are
making the fight Ii is believed that the
( board viii make reduction, but not on
/ the line asked For in the complaint or less
/ than car load lots.
The latter rate, il Is believed, Will come
down with the larger rate and be based
very nearly on the figures of the Interstate
/ commerce commission. The railroads Will,
/ of course, strive to keep rates up as high
as possible.

A THEORY.
L: is Probable That the IhfeveS Now iblestins
the City Have He idquarters on
the Island.

The police are doing their bess towards
preventing wholesale roboeries IN the city
as is shown by the fact that no robberies
have been committed within the limits OF
their regular beats SO far, and while they
are working hard to clear the city of sns-
picious characters, yet suggestion might
not be out of place at tins time. Inc
police generally look for this class OF Grim
inais in regular hauuts, which are usually
among low dives This is proper enough,
perhaps, but there is a probability that
the officers are on the wrong trail this
time. The robbers now IN the city are
professionals without question and evil
IDENTIFY belong to an organized gang con-
sisting OF burglars. footpsds and conn
dencs men, although the latter
have not yet shown their hands. IL
is natural enough that a gang or
this kind should have established head
quarters. As all their work IS done at
night, and all hours of the night, il is very
likely that they sleep during the day in
some quiet spot away from pubic places
Why isn't it likely that they may have
their headquarters in some one OF the many
islands in the river. This idea Is suggested
by the fact that some boys who went 70
the island near the Wichita and Western
bridge yesterday for the purpose of going
in swimming were chased away by three
or four tough looking men. The boys
thought they were tramps, bat Il
is barely possible that they were thieves.

ANOTHER ROBBERY.
Something Must Be bone 10 Rid the City OF
Robbers

Another bold burglary has been COM
mitted While Mr.. and Mrs. r. P. Muir
dock were out spending the evening with
friends their house was entered by rob-
bers and their sons bank robbed. Some
money which was lying Oh a shelf IN
book case was also stolen. AS nothing
but money was taken, 1t is evident that
the robbers were Of no common kind. In
fact the robbers that are now getting IN
their work in Wichita seem 10 be alter
money and money only
Its perhaps not strictly right to en-
courage the shedding of blood
shed but these 4 are critical times
and desperate means should be
taken to break up the gang whose evil
dent intention is to do wholesale robbing.
There are thousands of dollars Kept IN the
houses of, and carried in the pockets OF
citizens and they should in some manner
be protected.
The police of course, can't be every
where at the same time and the thieves
know this. They know, also, that 1t is
not necessary to rifle business houses any
more to get rewarded for their nefarious
work, and as the police are usually IN the
business part of the town the rascaIs nave
a wide field on the outside Of the main
streets Times are not flush enough to
put on any more police and the only thing
that remains to be done is for everybody
to constitute himself the guardian of his
own property. The ordinance which for
bids the carrying of fire arms should be
relaxed for few weeks SO that people
may be tree to carry revolvers for their
for their own defense, for thieving is by no
means confined TO house breaking. On
the contrary "hold ups' are numerous
aud will be during the present period or
until some foot pad is killed. Every sus-
picious character should be watched close

POLICE COURT.

Yesterday morning witnessed a rather
strange occurrence-a millionaire tramp,
or rather laborer, for he proved himself to
be a laboring man, and Judge Baob
readily acknowledged this fact to the man.
The cases were against William Richard
son and o. p Davace, charged with
lettering. They denied the charge at the
morning term of court, aud they were
given till o'clock to procure evidence IN
their own behalf. At that hour they were
brought into court and after thorou gh
investigation of the case, Judge Babb was
satisfied they were homeless men looking
earnestly for work and promptly dis
charged them.
The fact that they came to town with
considerable money. Cat least one of them
hadl, that they walked here from Oxford
to save 1t: that they did not spend any OF
il for whisky: that they put up at decent
restaurant, but cheap one. and all to
save their hard earnings, was good proof
III their favor.
Three boys, charged with disturbing the
peace. had their cases postponed till 4
o'clock this afternoon.
