ARTIFlC.AL. WApsas. FALLS.

From the Detroit Free Press
In the town of Nice. on the Mediter-
ranean coast, there is very fine arti
| fetal waterfall something over twenty
feet in height. 1t is exceedingly beau
tiful, although there is not much water
coming over it, and it hangs above the
town like silver bell. 1t tumbles
over a rock in the public park. Ii nice

are practically artificial. for although
there existed waterfall that was
natural before the tunnels were made

the present falls that form the attrac-

their height, but it seemed to me, look

that they are at least three hundred
feet from top to bottom.
The prettiest artificial WATERFALL that
I ever saw is in the Engadine. The
surroundings are so natural and so
beautiful that no one would ever sus-
pect that it was artificial were it not
for the hinge stone dikes at the foot Of

THE COURTS AND THE PRESS.

The making of railroad magnates out
of Federal judges has been provocative
of some great doings of late. A number
of the great trunk lines that have been
forced through the courts into receiver
ships, traverse several judicial districts
each, and the conflicting orders and mis-
understandings of district and circuit
judges are neither edifying nor assuring.
There occupants of the bench may know
law, bu. that they know less of railroad
management than the average business
man seems evident enough. a circuit
judge brings two quarrelIng district
judges up standing. Another district
judge, in Minnesota, has set himself up
as censor of the press, he having is
sued an order-accompanied by threat
of fine for contempt-that its writers
cease to comment on cases before his
court, That judge put his foot in it as
badly as did the others in the railroad
cases. Railroads are held to be by law
highways in which the public have a
greater controlling interest than even
the builders, the owners or managers,
but newspapers are the very
vehicle of the peoples voice and
judgement, champion of their rights,
the guard and shield of their liberties.
The supreme court of the Uuited States
may enjoin the chief executive. or rem
der the acts of congress null and void,
but it, nor any other power, can silence
the voice of the American press. The
day In which such a thing might have
been possible is past, and forever, if a
Republican form of government is not
overthrown. Reporters might be fined
and editors imprisoned, but the cylinders
OF the press will continue to revolve, ard
ceaselessly, and judges should be chary
in making such orders, as that promul-
gated by the Minnesota judge, if they
would retain the confidence and respect
of the people for the courts, which is
very important matter. The press is
the most enlightened interest or function
with which the people have to do, there
being more wisdom in it than in con-
greSs, conrts or colleges, for the press
continuously reproduces the best thought
of all these combined, therefore re-
quest accompanied by a reason should
be resorted to, rather than threat

CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE.

There is one reason why the state con-
the congressman at large, ought in all
fairness to take the candidate from this
part of the state. The surplus of popu-
lation which entities the state to this
congressman at large is right at the east
ern border of the district in the region of
which Sedgwick county is the center.
In the apportionment bill which passed
the Republican house of representatives
unanimously in 1898, (but which the
Pop senate refused to pass) the new dis
trict was carved out of territory imme-
diately surrounding and including
Sedgwick county; and this must newt
ture does its duty and apportions the
state. Justice, equity and political fair
play all point to the nomination of
congressman-at large from that part of
the state where the main increase of
population exists which entities the state
70 this additional congressman. The
Seventh district in Kansas is the largest
congressional district in the United
States and, owing to the failure of the
legislature to apportion the state there are
more men in this district practically un-
represented IN congress than in any
other part of the United States. The
Republican state convention can and
will correct this injustice.
In addition to this, there is univer
sal demand for the infusion of some new
blood into our state tickets. The man
who is nominated for congressman-at-
large will lie one of the young men
who represents some of the new and
vigorous forces of Republicanism in this
state, and that is exactly the kind of
presented by the Republicans
of Sedgwick county.

From the Lawrence Journal.
Are there any Democrats in Kansas is

there are; many staunch. honest, honor

party than they do of spoils, and who

ciples at the dictates of party bosses vino

When the Republican party kept get

1892, the Democratic organs said it was
the popular demand for tariff reform.
And SO it was. Now that the Democratic
party has been getting it "where the
chicken got the axe" every time state
election has occurred, why scan't free
organs admit that the people have learn

 In spite of these very lowwages paid n other countries, the company hopes that it may be found possible to continue the business here. Inquiry is now being made as to the cost Of landing bagging here from other countries ard on the information obtained the management will determine what course to pursue. It is with much sorrow that the employees are noti- fled that under the best conditions that are hoped for it will not be possible to con inue to pay the present scale of wages
 By about November l it will be decided whether the mill can be run at all and if so at what rate to pay for each class of emploYes. Meantime the present rate of wages will con- tinue to be paid. The managers of the com pany appreciate the good work lately given by all the employees. and while thanking each one, now wish to remind them that it is only by extra effort and increasing production that the mill can possibly be kept going.
 With very few exceptions every one of the mills and factories which has resumed operations has done so with a reduced wage schedule. Of course the men who are again given work are delighted at the idea of being able once more to earn a few dollars, but they have the misfortune to know that their weekly envelopes will not contain the same amount of money which they had been receiving prior to the Democratic victory of 1892. Half a loaf is better than no loaf, but no man who had been getting whole loaf is impressed with the existence of "good times" when he is only able to earn half loaf for the same amount of labor which formerly brought him whole loaf.
 Our Democratic friends may argue as they please about the reduction in the price of bread and all that sort of thing but the men whose wages have been cut after weeks and months of idleness are not to be fooled by any spacious advice which tells them that they are better of because they can save 83115 cents year on blankets, regardless of the fact that they are receiving one hundred or more dollars less year than they received III the days when protection to American industries was the policy of the administration.

JAPAN PUSHING THINGS


 Japan is making war on China in the spirit of Grants famous telegram to Sheridan after Five Forks, which read, Push things" Japan has captured Port Arthur, an important naval sta tion on the Gulf of Peel -Chee-Lee.
 It is very plain that Japan will not ask permission of any of the powers of Europe in the matter of how she shall pursue her victory until she is compell- ed to do SO under the stress of over pow ering force.
 Russia will never ask Japan to make peace with China except upon her own terms, and Rdssia's rival in the Pacific, Great Britian, is not likely to interfere with Japan, as she wants no quarrel with Russia.
 Great Britain has hitherto been very intimate with China, because she be- lieved that China was the strongest of Asiatic powers and therefore the most capable of resisting Russian aggression. But the ability with which Japan has made war, both by sea and land, has doubtless changed English opinion, and it is safe to say that Japan is quite likely to have Great Britain for an ally if she should ever need assistance to stand off Russian encroachment upon Korea.
 Russia is in no condition today to bulldoze Japan. Her fleet in the north Pacific is not match for that of Japan and she can do nothing by land antil the Siberian railway is finished, which will not be for many months.
 As matter of common sense the great power ought to let Japan alone if Japan can break up China and thus lesven the dull lump of her benighted civilization why not let her do it?
 The Independence of Korea, the dis. integration and partition of China among the powers of Europe would be long stride forward for modern civili. zation in Asia.
 It is clear that Japan hopes to cap. ture Peking and dictate peace on her own terms before China can slowly assemble, organize, arm and equip hel vast population.

PHGNIx. OCTOBER as. 1894.
THE REPUBLICAN, RALLY.

The Republicans had good meeting last night. They had more-they had remarkable meeting, one of the largest ever held in this city. There was an unusual outpouring of the voters of the city. By their presence, and by the attention which they gave to the speak CTS, they demonstrated the fact that they are very much in earnest this year over the result of the election. Many of them W ho sat in Gardiner Hall for over two hours last night have tasted of Democratic times to their sorrow. They have had an pportunity- costly one-to compare the Republican times with those given to them by the Demo- cratic administration. They have had enough of the Democratic era of pros- peritv, and they are anxious to return to the days when they haf work and wages under the Mckinley act. They are far better calculated to know whether or not they have been benefited by the election of a Democratic Presi- dent and Democratic Congress than the Democratic writers, who have dis covered such a phenomenal improve ment in business that they are contin- ually telling the people how prosperous the country now is. "The good times which have come" are largely psycho- logical. They do not exist, although we are willing to confess that anything is better than what the Democrats have given us for eighteen months.
 As an illustration of the "good times' we quote the following notice to en- ployes recently posted by the American Cordage Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn, N. Y, which employs seven hundred hands:
 The government of the United States having removed the duty on bagg ng, it can now be imported free. Bagging is manufactured in India, Germany and Scotland. Wages in these countries are as follows: For Weavers, spin ners and men laborers, ten cents per day in India; thirty cents per day in Germany; forty
