RosEBERY, although peer himself,
at the meeting OF the new government
at the foreign off ce yesterday, gave no
uncertain sound about the attitude his
government would ass ume on the ques
ton of the continuance of the house of
lords as a hereditary legislative body.
He said it was an anomaly inconsistent
with the domestic suffrages that exist,
and declared that hs would not lose
sight of any measure constitutionally
presented to the cou ntry to reform its
hereditary privileges One strong point
be made was that WHEN the Tories were
in power their veto was never exercised.
This was reserved for measures passed
by the Liberals, when they acted at the
dictstion of the Tory leader.

NOTWITHSTANDING the reports that a
settlement of the rate war is near at
hand, practically it is getting worse.
The Union Pacific is now cutting under
the cut. The Atchison and Topeka peo-
pie denounce the rumors current that
they will enter into any compromise
with the Southern Pacific to punish the
Union Pacific for going below the cut
rate, because they say the two latter
roads are dependent upon each other for
traffic and must work together. The
longer the merry war goes on the better
it will be for California.

IT WILL be good news to Irishmen that
the new premier, Rosebery, declares
that his government is bound by the
ties OF honor and affection to follow out
the policy of Gladstone, and that home
rule would not be less definitely pur-
sued by him than it was by his prsde-
cessor. In pledge of this he had
induced John Morley to remain chief
secretary for Ireland. This solemn
declaration will do away with the doubts
that have been entertained that he
would antagonize Gladstone's Irish
policy.

A COSTLY WHISTLE.

The Topeka water works, originally
costing sos, 900, after having been finan.
cially manipulated at home, and later
ia New York, and finally unloaded on
some English capitalists, turn up bonded
to the tune of one million two hundred
thousand dollars. and because they are
not paying a fair per cent on such an
amount foreclosure proceedings have
been commenced. The black eve given
western credit by the east in nine cases
out of ten comes of just such loads
placed on western properties by go-be-
tween Spectators. There is hardly q
property interest in the west today, of
whatever character, including railways,
that would not pay a big per cent on
actual cost. And the same thing is true
of the present discredit of American
securities in Europe. The foreign capt.
talist having succumb5d to confidence
game and advanced the purchase money
for bonds, debentures and the like,
finds, all too late, that he paid from five
to ten times the actual cost of the prop
erty, and from double to three times
what it can possibly be made to earn.
During the initiation period untold mil
lions of money were made in the con-
struction of railways and other corpor-
ate properties for the sole purpose of
bonding them at from three to five times
their actual cost, the bonds being f1oated
on showing of earning power at boom
prices in boom times. The game will
not be played again in this generation,
and when again it will be under some
new guise or wrinkle.

THEY CALL IT BUSINESS

1t is amusing to see the daily seesaw
in quotations on the New York Stock
exchange. Fluctuations amounting tc
millions on the property listed are caused
by the lightest rumors or, what should
be less reliable, the interested statement
of some one concerned. Such manipu-
lations are studied, arranged and pub
llshed with the same care that a spider
weaves its web. Indeed, were we look.
ing for a sample OF lying reduced to an
exact science this would be our model.
The ostensIble business of handling these
stocks and securities largely depends on
the daily margins created by such well
digested reports and rumors, calculate
to depress or bull prices. The same rule
is applied in manipulating the grain
markets. Some party or syndicate with
big deal, procures a report frcm a
western agent in Kansas or Dakota that
the wheat crop is damaged a certain per-
centage by killing frost, or that the
crop now ripening in East India is the
greatest ever known, thus sending the
taASS aP "a NO"b, 90 tAC
their deal demands. And this is called
business.
The total disregard for truth and the
absolute uncertainty as 10 what may or
may not be sprung upon the market al
any moment reduces such business TO
the low level of the lowest kind of gam
bling. The only sure thing about it is
that the lamb will be shorn. and the soft
handed manipulation will take the fleece.
The query is, why will men with very
common horse sense continue 10 pile up
dollars on this wheel OF fortune. If the
actual producers of the country would
pull out of these exchanges Tor six
months not one of them would survive
il. Trading with each other would soon
develop that there was no profit in adj
iusting the gain and loss account among
themselves. The steady stream Of Drofiss
and margins pocketed BY these liyh,
fingered leeches must flow from th,.
great army of producers who create
values in the more legitimate lines os

HOODWINKED TEE FARMER.

PETER, Simpson, Davis, Hudson and
Baker all reached Washington, fame
and five thousand dollars each, per an
mum. by bowling over the wrongs OF
the farmer. Nobody denies that. Every
body knows it to be true. No single
one of them was a farmer himself. We
will not say that they Were all indus
trial parasites, but only that they got
their living by employing their wits to
the best advantage. Day before yester-
day all the Pop United States senators
including PETER, voted against tabling
the Wilson iniquity. This bill repeats
the bounty on Kansas wool, takes away
the bounty on Kansas sugar, repeats the
reciprocity clause which has opened
markets for millions of Kansas wheat
and meat for Germany and other coun-
tries. All of the Kansas Pop contingent
in the House voted for the Wilson bill,
and Jerry Simpson helped to defeat the
anti-option bill, bill wholely and sole
ly In the interest Of the farmer.
