Kansas Did 1t All.
st. Paul Pioneer-Press.

St Paul Pioneer-Press.
A citizen of Kansas occupied many
pages of recent number of the Forum
in an attempt to rebuff some of the un-
complimentary statements made about
his state. The secretary of the Kansas
State Board of Agriculture has writ
ten letter for publication, denouncing
the reports current from time to time of
different forms of calamity within the
state. 1t was the people of Kansas who
sent ''Sockless Simpson" to the house;
it was they who sent PETER to the SEN
ate; it was they who made public char
acter of Mary Ellen Lease; it was they
who put Lewelling in the governors
chair; it was they who turned over their
splendid commonwealth to the rule of
the populists. And everyone of these
individuals, and this populist party, have
repeated from beginning to end, as their
whole gospel and message, the state
ment that the sensible people of Kansas
are now trying to refute. 1t was they
who told the rest of the country that the
people of Kansas had been robbed until
oAAOAO "oc hOSAiAS NOhOJ OhoU OAO 0ooOO
was destitute and exhausted; that cap
ital had plundered them until capital
must be plundered in its turn. And the
first and necessary step toward righting
herself in public opinion is not the pub
LEGATION of magazines or newspaper arti-
cles, but the Punishment from public
place and power of the motley crew of
rogues and agitators and cranks who
have trailed the fair name of the state
in dust as means to their own advance
ment. The lesson has been an unpleas-
ant one. But the people of the whole
country have suffered as well from what
is the fault of the people of Kansas
themselves. 1t is time now that they
send the whole pack of calamity howlers
and socialistic story tellers to the rear,
and build up again the reputation of
one of the first states in the union in in
telligence, in love of law and order, and
in prosperity, until the blighting inau-
ence CT these people fell upon it.

Plain Facts Well Stated.
Topeka Mail.

Topeka Mail.
All sorts of theories are afoat these
days, accounting for the lack of en-
ployment among laborers who really
desire work. We have one; the laborer
has been working against himself. He
has voted for policy that cripples his
employer and closes the mill that sus-
tains them both. He is opposed to
man making money unless that man is
himself. He forgets that the men who
give him employment are not generally
men of money, but men of nerve, who
have the courage to run risks when
there is profit in it, and who usually
borrow the capital to make their ven
lures. When the laws are unfavorable
their ventures fail; when labor is ar
rayed against capital they are unable
to obtain the backing of capitalists.
The capitalist is not Obliged to put his
in uncertain ventures; he gen.
orally does not. The employe has ar
rayed himself against the employer,
thinking he is making capital come to
term. He is not Capital is frightened
and hides. Employers eDuldn't Pre-
coed If thew would.

Shooting Through Solid Steel.

The futility Of pilling steel armor
plates on war vessels is being demon
strated at the new testing ground of
the Cramps The shells, which are
three inches in diameter and ten
inches long, are forged from the
finest hardened steel and fitted by
the Cramps for use in the United
States army and navy, and it is to
test the quality of the steel in diff
ferent lots t at these experiments
are being conducted.
A heavy abutment of railroad ties
has been erected as fender to hold
bank Of earth, and in front of that
is placed heavy oak plank box, five
feet square and ten feet long, VIII CHI
is flied with sand.
Against another fender in front Of
tn box is set up one of the armor
plates, such as are used on the
armo ed cru serS and battleShips
now being built One hundred feet
distant from the plate is the firing
house-a plank building about thirty
feet long by ten feet vide and double
lined to deaden sound.
Two three-inch rapid firing DR. gg-
Schroeder guns are used in the tests
When everything is ready for firing
a lanyard is passed out Of the back OF
the building and through an aperture
in pile of heavy spruce 10 st, the

S GIFTED.
When the gun is fred the wall of
steel is p creed by the projectile, leav-
ing only a fringe around the hole
where the shot passed out on the
OPP, os tie side. 1t is then sought for
in the sand in the box and examined
closely as to condition.
OF course the shell is not charged,

The New York Press has made an es-
innate of the strength and size of the
army of unemployed, with surprising
results. In 122 cities returned by the
census of 1890 there are not less than
1896, 241 persons employed, and paid to
this tremendous industrial army, now
fighting for existence, in 1890 7-as the
enormous sum of 1924, ,466. over
500, 100000 per month paid in wages
in these cities alone. In 1880 the total
wages paid in all manufacturing dis
tricts in the United States was less
than 81, Zoo, 100000. So great was the
growth under protection that in 1890
we find these cities exceeding the entire
country in 1880 by about $500, 600, 900.
The question is will this army of work.
ers, with over 100000, 900 month at
stake, remain passive while the confed-
crates in congress are turning the in
dustries employing them over to for
eigners?

About thirty Topeka commercial trav-
elers attended the annual grand lodge
of their union at Wichita this week, says
the Topeka Journal, and returned
flushed with victory, having secured for
Topeka the next annual meeting, which
will be held May and 8, 1895. Wich-
tia and Hutchinson both made great ef-
forts for the convention and the Tope-
ka delegates received the prize only by
strong and persistent fight. Now that
Topeka has the convention the question
suggests itself, what shall be done with
it? Something OF the magnitude of this
organization can be realized from the
fact that 500 commercial travellers sat
down to the banquet tables and 5000
people danced at the ball. At Wichita
it was held in the new auditorium which
was built largely through the efforts of
the commercial men, but Topeka has
nothing big enough to accommodate
them. The local drummers will see that
their guests are ampl, Entertained and
taken care of, however, and they will be
able to figure this problem out before
next May.

Kansas Freigh, Rates.

Kansas Freight Rates.
The attorneys of the various roads in
Kansas are confident that the state rail-
road board will not be able to enforce a
new rate schedule against the road, as
prayed for in the petition now being
considered by the board.
The petitions. which were sent in from
all parts of the state demanding a re-
duction of freights, were inspired by
Senator Leedy, of Coffey county. In
fact, Senator Leedy stated during the
hearing before the board that he would
withdraw all the complaints if the board
would agree to keep the present rates
in force for another year.
The railroad attorneys, in responding
to the complaints filed with the state
board, strongly denied the authority of
the board to fix a rate based on a gen.
eral petition, or to make any change in
the absence of specific complaint, al
leging some specific act or injustice or
some particular discrimination. On this
issue the railroad commission took the
petitions under consideration and no de-
cision has yet been rendered.
In connection with the Kansas inves-
tigation, the railroad attorneys now call
attention to the last decision by the
United States supreme court to the ef-
feet that the fixing of charges is beyond
the power of state commissions. The
case referred to is that of the Interna-
tional & Great Northern railway against
the attorney general and railway COM
missioners of Texas. in which the su-
preme court rules that it is not within
the province of legislatures to fix rail,
road rates, and also that the railway
commissioners can not constitutionally
fix such rates.
