TRAPPING WOLVES IN FRANCE.
Ruses of the People to Effort Rewards
from the Government

Ruses of the People to Effort Rewards
from the Government.
Among other contrlvances there IS
one that outwits the sagacity of the
wolf with as little hardship as such a
capture admits. Within circle OF
strong stakes, not very closely planted,
a sheep or a goose is confined. AT a
distance of sixteen inches is an outer
circle Of stakes, having an entrance
eighteen inches wide. The path be-
tween the two circles is well beaten
down. The door of the outer one,
which folds back against the inner. is
set invitingly open.
In marches, says Blackwood's Maya
zine, the cautious wolf pursues the
path till he comes to the back of the
open door, pushes against the yielding
obstacle, and By so doing closes the en-
trance against himself. The latch falls
at the impact of the door against the
doorpost, and he is hopelessly fast.
unable to touch the decoy animal of
the inner circle. or to leap over the
strongly planted poles of the outer one.
Thus ingioriously kidnapped, the vic
tim is soon dispatched.
4 complaint has been made that the
rewards which the French government
gives for the slaughter of wolves are
so small in comparison with those paid
of old. But large rewards sometimes
do more harm than good, by making 1t
too much the interest of the mercenary
troops to slaughter the foe with due re-
spect TO the desirability of having
always plenty Of foes to slaughter. If
all the stories are true of the alarm
and damage caused by wolves, it is not
unreasonable To think that those ex-
posed to be sufferers might assist IN
their extirpation without the stimulus
of fee.
Many parts Of France, 1t is true, are
highly favorable to the wants and hab-
its of the wolf, but against modern
skill and modern weapons it is hard to
believe that it could hold its ground
without the connivance of sportsmen.
or If the government were earnestly
resolved to be rid of it.

POLAR EXPLORATION.
Admira! NcCHntcc!S Thinks Franz JOSEF
Land Nearly Appreciate. the Pole.

Lana Nearly APDTDh'Ut. Nha' Ri'F
The veteran Arctic explorer, Admiral
Sir Leopold McClintock. has written
letter in which be upholds strongly the
advantages of the Franz Josef Land
route for polar exploration. lie says:
Franz Josef Land does almost certain
ly approach more nearly 70 the pole
than any other land yet discovered.
Therefore think it is the only route
which offers a possibility of success 10
a North Pole attempt. and this because
the Polar Rack has been found To be so
rurred as To render all attempts to
sledge over It's surface extremely slow
and laborious To explore the north
crn shores of Franz Josef Land alone
would constitute a success. and one OF no
ordinary interest. The explorer would
in all probability be enabled 20 APP
proach nearer to the pole than has hith-
erto been accomplished study -
the currents and Of the positions OF the
drift-wood from Siberian rivers upon
the shores of Spitzbcrgen would throw
light upon the supposed expansion
northward of Franz Josef Land. My
impression is that a vast deal Of that
drift-wood must have reached lis desti-
nation by passing northward and west
ward TO Franz Josef Land; II tals IS so,
it seems improbable that itextcnds very
much farther northward than j. at
present known. But ali RcograpAical
speculation is extremely unreliable In

Land, with well-prepared sicdging
equipments. would. in my opinion. be
in the very best position for adding 70
our stock OF geographical knowledge in
as high a latitude as has ever yet been
reached. and with the possibility Of a
still farther northern advance.

FARMERS, HEADQUARTERS.

The AtchisOn Champion endorses the
EAGLES idea of a Farmers Worlds
Headquarters in the Kansas building at

The idea of opening at the Kansas

one and ought to be put IN practice.
That idea was suggested some time since
by the Wichita EAGLE and promptly en-
dorsed in these columns.

TICE.
From thu Topeka Capital.

From tia Topeka Capital
In the multitude of charges Of rob-
bing the treasury which seems 10 engage

people pay the present administration.
there is danger that the Populists adj
ministration will lose sight OF the rob
berries going on under their own eyes
and under their own suspicious, SO TO
speak. What, we would like TO inquire
of the reform administration. were the
services to the people for which Judge
Doster demands and is paid out Of the
public treasury $3.50? Judge DoSter's
abors in relation to the present reform
in Kansas consisted in finding false
precedants and specious arguments for
anarchy and tyranny. He caused the
state large expense IN money and great
discredIt before the people of the world
by his revolutionary designs. which
happily were frustrated by the supreme
CONT. Why should the State pay this
public disturber $3.50 for his evil
counSelS.
And Judge Webb, Topeka's notorious
perennial candidate for any office that
happens to be available: what services
has he rendered that the governor should
pay him out OF the public treasury SEQ :
Hasn't he caused Kansas enough scan-
dial and public contempt without Charg-
ing and being paid by the people for his
futile scheming TO get into office:
And there is the professional anarchist
Clemens. another disreputable political
adventurer. who wants 81 900 for his
services IN behalf OF treason and lawless-
ness. Does the reform administration
regard the services OF this teacher OF an
archy aud corruption of public morals as
worth the payment of $1,000 from the
state treasury:

POOR TIME TO STRIKE.

There seems a disposition upon the
part of railway men to take advantage
of the worlds fair rush TO force, through
strikes, railroad managers to increase
pay and shorten hours. Up to date a
majority of the people of this country
have managed to run it. Ii the people
of the country at large should be put to
expense and trouble by strikes and a
great national enterprise crippled, union
ized labor will receive a black eve and
from people who have largely svmpa-
thzed with the various brotherhoods.
There will be millions of people on the
move this summer and they do not want
to be caught IN some strike, nor yet to
be rendered uneasy and uncertain about
making a trip to see the show. The
Santa Fe strike, for instance, seems to
have been ill advised, for the strikers do
not seem to have the sympathy of the
people as they might have had under
different circumstances.
