IN A ROLE.

Kansas City, Missouri, has been max
ing many months effort to gain con-
troll and proprietorship of the city water
works, which are owned by corpora
ton. A federal court finally awarded
the property to the city, stipulating the
price to be paid, portion of which, IN
the way of accumulated rental, amount
ing to some SAG, 600, together with an
other large amount was to have been
paid before the first day of Nay. The
town didn't have the money. In the
meantime the water company, dissatis-
fed with the amount Of the award, APP
peared before justice Brewer of the
United States supreme court, who
stopped proceedings and ordered
new hearing in st. Paul on the
Both day of this month. What
now bothers the windy wonder
of the cliffs is the possibility OF
the original order being affirmed, In
which event the city would be utterly
unable to meet the demand. 1t trans
pres that the city cannot only not raise
the wind. but that the municipality has
not paid its police force. city officials.
ETC., anything this year. The town is
in a hole, evidently. 1t was only last
week that its papers were blowing over
the vast sums OF idle money being car
ried by their banks, some of which were
represented as holding over 40 per cent
of their deposits in idleness. If this is
true it makes a bad showing for the
credit and condition OF the town, as the
officers of these overlooking banks know
the exact status of the city's inability.

WICHITA AS A GRAIN CENTER.

A grain dealer of long experience
and with no local interests here says
Wichita is destined to be the greatest
supply poin. FOR wheat in the west. He
figures from official reports that there is
more wheat raised within 100 miles Of
this city than in any like area in the
country; tn at Wichita is in the center
of that area and that there is no naviga-
BILE water within 500 miles of here, hence
the supply market will be determin ed
wholly by the boundaries and extent OF
the territory producing the most wheat.
Railroads can be built anywhere on
these level plains, but they as naturally
cross, he says, at the central points OF
trade as that the native herds OF the
prairie beat their trails through the best
grazing sections. He further says all
the unfair and artificial means en-
pIoyed by the railroads to divert this
grain from Wichita will prove futile In the
end, and that, having the power IN our
own hands, the people of Kansas will no
more submit to the long haul of all our
wheat to Kansas City o. Chicago to find
a market than the farmer will cart
every sheaf of his grain 10 remote
corner of his farm for stacking and
threshing. He thinks we hold
stragetic point in being located about
equal distance from the gulf and lake
ports. Whatever may develop In the
way of seesaw movements in the market,
we hold the situation to take advantage
of 1t. If, as is claimed by eastern
lines, they can offer us the best
market Wichita dealers viii hardly
be SO blinded to their own interests as to
ignore it, What we WANT most is sufh-
Gent elevator and storage capacity TO
handle the grain. This, he says, will
come as certainly as that stamp mills
and crushers are located convenient to
the great bodies Of ore.
Our friend has practical ideas and we
believe he is right. Railway managers
have about exhausted all the means,
from their bold assumption OF their So
called rights to the last resort of dilatory
motions in the Federal courts, and now
it begins 10 look as if it was our inning.
If we are entitled to half price for our
product, we are entitled to its market
value, and it is not the business Of railway
magnates or grain combines to determine
what that is. "On to the GULF should
be the war cry of the legions who sow
and reap in this great valley.

A MULTIPLE RING CIRCUS.

The Democratic party, as whole, has
resolved itself into cage of cuckoos,
monkeys and sick tigers. The cage is
intact, but the row inside beggars de-
scription. There is the Jeffersonian con-
tingent of Alabama and other states:
the Populist fusions of Georgia, Kansas
and Colorado; the dollar of the daddies"
crowd pouting and threatening, with the
open rebellion in New York, New Jersey
and half dozen central states. For a
while Grover, with his golden prod, kept
the combination of fowl and beast well
stirred up. But there is no longer any
necessity for exertion upon the part of
his royal obeseness. The screech. chat
ter and growl has become so deafening
that Coxey has been unable to make his
army heard. There are still Democrats
to be found, but for the most part they
are not voting the Democratic
ticket. Clevelands menagerie has
become the most dangerous aggre CATION
on earth, so Morgan of Alabama, Hill of
New York, Evans of Georgia, and other
prominent keepers say, while such AMI
NAL tanners and trainers as the Atlanta
Constitution, Augusta Chronicle and
Macon Telegraph are giving little side
show seance on their own account. This
multiple ring circus has proved the most
costlT performance of clowns and ami
mails that ever spread canvass in Amer
lea and the demand that it strike tent
is well nigh universal. Its tickets are at
a discount and the dead heads outnum-
Der the paving ones and it has ceased to
be profitable to the management or even

The great naval battle which is to
take place between the government forces
and those of Admiral Mello does not
seem to materialize. We hear every day
that one or the other has set out in search
of the enemy, but he is never found. The
government and insurgent naval forces
OF Brazil must be built on the plan of
Charley Mitchell's mouth, as all their
fighting has been IN the windy style of
buster. Never before has there been
such a ''spoilin' for fight" and not a
drop of blood shed. With such apparent
anxiety on the part of both fleets to have
a hostile meetin', it would seem that the
broad expanse Of old Father Ocean could
not serve to keep them apart. But they
can't find each other and they take it out
in what is vulgarly termed "chin music"
They are experts In the art of lodging
as we'll as in buster, and can keep away
from a row fully as we'll as a prize fighter
whose belllgerence is an advertising fac
tor IN ''show" in which he takes part.

AMID all this talk for democratic
candidate for governor The Pilot begs
that Its suggestion IN regard to Senator
Villas be not ignored. At one time when
he was nominated he stated before the
convention which nominated him that
e looked with extreme wishfulness'
upon the nomination but circumstances
then prevented bis acceptance. The CIR
cumstances have since undergone change,
as evidenced by his acceptance of the
senatorship. The path is now clear
for his acceptance Of a nomination
which he once refused, and which
there is now Just as pressing a necessity
that he should accept as there was
then. Why should not the Senator make
a sacrifice for the benefit of the party?
He certainly will a: this time If the de.
mand is made. Let it be Senator Villas
for governor.
