MISSISSIPPI, MATTERS.
Exhibits for Sioux City.

The great exhibit of the Iazoo Il Mis-
sissppi Valley road left last week for
the Interstate Fair at Sioux City, la.
The exhibit fills four cars and is very
comprehensive.
Everything comprising it goes from
the famous Yazoo delta, and the rail-
road people and citizens generally have
combined to make it great success.
There is no, a product OF the delta
that is not represented in the four ears.
The staples are all there, and among
other things are great big eighty pound
watermelons and pumpkins that Will
put to shame every pretentious North
western pumpkin raiser that visits the
Sioux City fair. Not only the visitors
there, but thousands of people right
here in this section will be surprised to
hear OF watermelon vinegar. Never
thelcss, that very article goes, and thcy
say it makes the old monopolistic apple
turn even greener' with envy at what
promises to prove It's strong rival. foi
many years it was thought that Louisl

There was great deal Of sense in
the remarks Of Captain A. c. Pierce,
Of Junction City, before the State
Dairymen's association. Capt. Pierce
Is one OF central Kansas leading
authorities on farming matters and
an old settler. His words are worth
noting. lie said; "If Kansas farm
ers are poor, 1t is their own fault
There is good living for every one
Of them in the dairy industry. In
Otsego county, N. Y, where ! visited
recently, farmers are making butter
for less money than II commands in
Kansas, are buying Kansas corn to
make 1t from and still are doing well.
They buy Kansas corn, and we in
Kansas buy New York cheese, paying
20 cents a pound for it. II they can
make money on that system, we can
make great deal more by feeding
our corn and making our own
cheese" It is not alone in cheese and
butter that Kansas farming can i'm
prove. There are other things
equally important and in which equal
advancement can be made. Much is
yet TO be learned In Kansas farming.

Another Resubmission Fight.

A Topeka news item says that a
resubmission league is to be organ
lied in Topeka to induce the legisla-
ture to again submit the prohibition
amendment to the people to be voted
on at the next election. II is the
plan to form a non-partlsan state as
ISOLATION, and then organize subordin-
ate leagues in every township in the
State. The call for the meeting will
be issued in few days 1t is said
that prominent Republicans, as well
as Democrats and Populists, are in
terested In the formation of such an
organization, but those who will talk
about 1t refuse to give their names.
II Is understood that ex-State SEN
ator Ed Carroll Of Lcavenworth and
ex-Gov. G. w. Click Of Atchison will
use their influence TO secure such a
large organization that 1t will result
In forcing the legislature to resubmit
the prohibition amendment. 1t was
thought that there was some excite
ment when the original prohibition
fight was on but in was not a clrcum-
stance to whatwill happen II another
chance is given.

MAXIMUM RATE LAW


Justice Brewers Decision Very Unpopular
with the Shippers Of Nebraska.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 97.-The decision
Of Justice Brewer in the maximum rate
law matter was to Nebraska people and
to the whole commercial interests Of
the west the most important decision
rendered in this state for many years.
It puts temporary quietus on the war
which has been fought by the farmers
and shippers against the railroads for
almost twenty years. That the fight Is
now ended is certain, but that Brew
er's decision was temporary railroad
triumph Is also certain. 1t Is needless
to say that the decision is very unpop-
ular. The farmers and shippers with
one voice declare it an outrage and cry
that the work Of fifteen years 10 lost.
An impartial exposition Of the rail-
way rates Of Iowa and Nebraska shows
remarkable and striking contrasts.
On account Of Iowa's more fertile soil
and greater number Of inhabitants II
Is expected that the rates in Iowa and
Nebraska should differ In Iowas favor.
The greater distance to the market
thus would make the condition Of the
Nebraska farmers less comfortable.
But here are some Of the rates for com.

What Of lssei

Democratic papers are already
talking about reversing the mighty
verdict in favor Of Republicanism Of
this year at the 1896 election. An
exchange recalls history to show that
they have little precedent for their
claim. Five sweeping tidal waves
have occurred in the middle Of presi-
Dental terms, in which the party in
power in the presidency was over
whelmingly beaten in the popular
branch Of congress. These were in
1912, 1874, 1882, 1890 and 1894. In
1912 the Wings were hit, in 1874,
1882 and 1890 the Republicans were
struck, while in 1894 the Democrats
are injured. The Democrats rolled
up a majority Of II against the Wings
in 1912, Of 60 against the Republicans
in 1874, Of 81 against them in 1882,
and Of lao against them in 1890
The margin gained by the Republicans
this year will be about the same as
the Democratic in 1890.
Now let us see what occurred two
years after each OF the tidal waves Of
the past The Democrats, who won
congress in 1912 from the Wings,
took the presidency away from them
in 1874, and put Polk in the White
House. In like manner the Demo-
Gratis followed up their victory in the
congressional election OF 1882 by
electing Cleveland in 1884. They did
the same thing after their con-
gressional victory in 1892. Their
triumph in the congressional election
Of 1874, however, was not followed by
a presidential victory two years after
ward, for the Republicans managed to
hang on to the presidency in 1875, al
though by but one majority in the
Electoral College, while the Demo-
Gratis controlled the house OF repre-
sentatives. All the hope Of victory
in 1896 which history gives them is
that very elusive basis furnished by
the lS74-76 elections.
The Republicans will have no hand
at making laws for the next two years.
They will be in no danger Of making
Grover Cleveland and his
bond-issuing, debt-increasing, foreign
sympathzing administration will con-
tnue to disgust the American people.
II you have any spare cash bet 1t all
on sweeping Republican victory in
1896.

A Remarkable Ruling.

The ways Of the populist state Off
cial are past finding out. The lates'
difficulty that the county officers are
having with the Topeka rulers is in
regard to the election returns. Since
the beginning Of Kansas history the
state board OF canvassers has required
from the county clerk an "abstract, '
(the word used by the statutes) Of the
county's vote-that is the total vote
Of the county on state, congressional
and Judicial officers. This would
seem 10 be sufficient as 1t gives the
state board Of canvassers all the data
necessary for making out certificates
Of election properly. This year the
usual blanks were sent but when they
had been filled out along came an en-
tirely new set Of blanks requiring a
detailed statement OF the vote in each
precinct OF the county on every state
oflcer-not only an unnecessary re-
quirement but one entailing much
extra labor on The county clerks.
Several refused to comply but under
threat OF the state board OF canvass
ers TO refuse to issue certificates they
will probably be forced to make out
the statement. There Is one plaus-
ible explanation for the new rule Of
the state house officials and that Is,
that 1t gave the populist public
printer soon to retire an extra job in
preparing a new set Of blanks. If
here is any other good excuse for the
it would be interesting
