proving to be as much of failure as the
interstate.
Nearly two years ago the inte-
rior jobbers of Kansas made
complaint to the state board, and, after
three or four months, got a decision in
their favor The law was invoked to
enjoin the roads from carrying out the

the price of wheat has fallen to the
lowest 1t has been since the war, but the
effect has been almost to eliminate the
speculative element from the markets
and cause large purchases for foreign
consumption. The crop reports indicate
that, taking things all round, we shall
have an average good crop this year on
the basis of present conditions; and it is
tolerably certain that as consumption
removes the surplus of wheat in store,
prices must rise from their present alb
normally low level. What will be seen
in the country is general economizing,
a cutting down of expenses everywhere;
and nothing short of the present COM
lnercial crisis could have forced this.

Referring to the EAGLES article Of a
few days ago about advertising Kansas
at the worlds fair, by every Kansan who
goes to the fair constituting himself and
herself a committee OF one to talk Kan
sas to every body met there, the Newton
Kansan makes further observations:
Everybody knows that vast benefits
accrued 70 Kansas from the manner in
which the state was advertised at the
centennial worlds fair at Philadelphia.
Circumstances have prevented similar
exposition of her fruitfulness, progress
and prosperity at the present far. but
the Wichita EAGLES suggestion is prac-
teal, and, if carried into effect, will do
much good"

KANSAS IN TIE EAST.

The New York Sun has been giving
Kansas some advertising so different
from that we have been receiving of late
that the change is highly agreeable. And
while it is given in a half facetious and
semi-sarcastic sort of way it contains a
compliment to the state no less crafty
ing than surprising. The Sun says:
The people of Kansas are now struck
with a mania for paying off their debts,
Just as they formerly had a mania for
running into debt. SO we learn from
an eminent Topeka statistician, Nh.
John r. Mulvana. who makes the state
ment after an examination of the official
reports of all the counties of the state
The news is so startling that we cannot
believe it at first sight. Mr.. Mulvane
says that the enormous crops of recent
years have enabled the farmers to liqui-
date about 50 per cent. of the debts they
have previously incurred, while at the
same time they increased the body of
their live stock and improved their
farms and houses.
The wheat and corn crops of the last
four years has brought in 1896, 500, 900;
there were 2,305, 600 head of hogs and
700, 600 head of cattle marketed last year,
or eight times as many of the latter and
three times as many of the former as
were marketed in year not far back.
In forty-four counties Of the state there
Is not n single pauper, and i'll thirty
seven counties there was not a criminal
case on the court dockets at the time of
the last report. We can hardly believe
all these statements, though they are
backed up by figures copied by DIr, Mui-
vane from the books of the counties,
from those of the Kansas City stock
yards, and from those of the grain
buyers.

Rev. Joseph Cook in letter to a friend
in Indiana, on Sunday-closing, wrote.
Federal authority has been defeated by
a Chicago clique. Local barbarism rides
roughshod over law and order The de-
cent opinion of mankind as TO the obi
cation of contracts has been outraged by
the directory of the worlds far" The
trouble with the Rev. Joseph is that he
is too exclusive in his views of the case.
He forGets that the undertaking is a
worlds fair, not an entertainment got
up for the especial amusement and edit
cation of class with particular set of
notions. His declarations are of the
same inspiration that prompted the
deacon who prayed: "Oh. Lord, bless
me and my wife, my son John and his
wife; us four, and no more"

Never, perhaps, has the verdict of a
trial jury in a criminal prosecution been
more heartily and unanimously endorsed
by the reading public than will be The
return of mot guilty IN the case OF
Lizzie Borden at New Bedford, Mass,
Tuesday, Public sympathy has been
with the accused ever since it became
apparent that the prosecution gave ii
out, by acts, that it was bent upon fast
ening the guilt of the terrible crime upon
Lizzie Borden, the daughter of the muir
dered man and his wife, whether or no.
1t was forced put on the part of the
state TO maintain its action from the
beginning, and the absence of single
point of direct evidence, and of circum-
stantial evidecce of even n probable
character, supplemented by the I'M
naturalness and want Of motive, made
the prosecution appear as crime
against the accused. The common opin-
ion is that a righteous verdict was rem
dered.
