THE Topeka CAPITALS PROVERBIAL
''CUSSEDNESS."

meeting at Metropolitan hall in this
city, July 8, afternoon and evening.
not only the large body of railroad
men with their families, but likewise
a great many citizens Of Topeka
were glad to be present and mani
fest their sympathy with the men
engaged in the great strike.
In addition to the speakers belong
ing to the A. r. .. who addressed
the meeting Mrs. Diggs had been In
vited to speak, and most gladly
svsiled herself of the privilege.
Newspaper reporters were accorded
the privilege of being present and re-
porting the proceedings. A reporter
of the Capital was there among
others, and made report which was
published on the morning Of the
Fourth. This was generally fair and
correct; but the pin-hesded fool
graduate Of Harvard who thinks he
writes editorials for the paper dsliv-
cred himself of the following:
Mrs. Diggs worked the A. R. o. yesterday
for POpulist support in good shape. Her
inoendisry uttersnCes suggest the adVisa-
bility, however, of restricting woman suf-
frsge to those women who have more
common sense and less silly sentimental
ism.
Now, everybody, of course, knows
that Mrs. Diggs Is a very dangerous
woman. Everybody who has ever
heard her speak knows that she goes
about the country counseling vio-
lence, bomb-throWing, assassination,
war, horrid devastating war; and
what better occasion could there be
for impsrting such CORY advice than
at a meeting of railroad strikers,
everyone of whom wore as the badge
which had been adopted to indicate
the character of the contest in which
the organization is engaged, the pure,
white emblem of peace?
The large hall in which these meet
ings were held was filed both after
noon and evening, and every man
and every woman present on each
occasion, without regard to party,
and whether in sympathy with the
meeting or not, will bear testimony
to the esrnestness with which Mrs.
Diggs exhorted the men, while stand
ing firmly and solidly for their
rights, to be patient and peaceful in
all their acts. AS the Capitals own
representative reports her words:
appeal to you who have taken such an
awful step, to see TO it that you use only
patience, more patience and ever more
patience.
Such are the 'incendisry utter
ances" with which she addressed that
great meeting of earnest men strug-
Cling in a death grip with monopoly
for the simple justice due to all
humanity. The lunatic who penned
the above paragraph may think he
will gain votes for the republican
party from among those who heard
Mrs Diggs by such characteristic
"cussedness."

The Colossal Passenger.

A French cattle dealer, a phenom.
enally stout man, had driven into
Paris, and as his horse was taken Ill
during his stay, resolved to leave the
animal and return home by rail. He
bought ticket at the Vincennes
station, but all of his efforts to effect
an entrance into a compartment
proved abortive. The company's
employees went to his assistance, and
he was pushed and squeezed, almost
denuded of his garments, but all to
no purpose. "Well," said the cattle
dealer to the station master, "that
regulations have not settled the
dimensions of the traveller. I have
my ticket and you must take me.
The distracted official now proposed
that the colossal passenger should
make the journey in baggage car.
The offer was accepted, and soon
afterwards the train was speeding on
it's way with the cattle dealer seated
in the car, on a blg box which had
been covered with a comfortable
cushion. Such are the commodious-
ness and the ample proportions of
American passenger cars that no such
occurrence has happened on any of
our railways. We have seen some
big people (both socially and
physically travelling on the elegant
fast trains of the Burlington Route,
but no one of them had to take the
baggage" Compartment and buffet
and reclining chair cars distinguished
this line. For further information

The Grant County Herald, in com
menting on the recent meeting of the
congressional committee in this
district says:
1t seems that the chairman of the
committee, in sending out notices for
the converting of the committee ON
May 18th, omitted stating any hour.
Then, Notwithstanding the fact, that
he had been notified by kilograms,
that several committeeman were on
their way on delayed trains, the work
OF the committee was completed by 10
o'clock a. M, with only six committee
! men out of sixteen present.
1t is time TO put stop to this kind
of questionable methods, and we be-
lieve it would teach a wholesome les
son to have a majority of the COM
mittee call a new meeting and sit
down on such tactics. The press of
the district should make it sultry for
the big six.

OF the tariff it is very evident that
the sole purpose in view is to make it
a campaign document, and the only
questions considered in the re-arrange-
ments of its schedules are, their effect
on the congressional districts in the
coming election. Ii is inevitable that
there could be any other outcome, for
the political demagogues outnumber
all others in congress, and if they can
manipulate schedules, so as to secure
campaign funds for reelection
purposes, and bride by tariffs, they

1t is reported that beer was freely used
at some of the meetings for electing dele
gates last Saturday. do not think either
of the candidates for office would degrade
themselves by furnishing beer or any kind
OF liquor for the sake of office. If the report
is true it must have been furnished by some
over Jealous friends of the candidates.
Such things have been done many times in
the past, but consider it degrading to anv
man that takes such course to get office.
The following item appeared in last
weeks Tribune: '"rhe prospects for a
good crop this season is very good, grain
looked better, and unless hail or drouth
comes the tiller of the soil in Stevens
and other counties in western Minnesota
will get fair recOmpense for. their labors."
We are thankful for this good news. Now
will the editor of the Tribune tell us how
we are to get fair recompense for our
labor with the present and future prospect
for low prices for all of our products? This
is not calamity howl, it is a question
asked for information. AS large number
of farmers were unable to pay last YEAR s
taxes, interest and threshing bill, we feel
the need of recompense for our labors and
would be pleased to know from what
source we are to get it.

We do not see why the republican
congressional nomination. should go
to the northern part of this district,
as the six northern counties gave
Boen majority over Feig of 1858.
There is all idea that Red River the
Valley comprises the seventh district,
while in fact it is the small end of it.
In. this, the southern part of the dis
trict, the republicans have always had
to roll up big vote to cut down the
opposition majorities, and the seven
southern counties have to undo the
work of the north end, as Wilkin,
Ottertail and Traverse are about a
stand off between republicans and
populists.

REFORMS,

Late consular reports would indi.
cate, that there have been many re-
forms enacted in New Zealand, that
may be as profitably copied by us, as
has been the ballot law, for which we
are indebted to Australia. Among
the more prominent and successful
measures enacted, were laws pro-
hihiting and controlling the formation
of worthless stock companies and
other swindling concerns, and as the
directors and promoters of any stock
enterprise are now held individually
liable, under severe penalties, the law
has accomplished it's purpose and
such swindles as the Guaranty loan,
under a law of this kind would be
impossible.
Next the Factories Act" which
governs the sanitary condition of
factories and the ages of working
children, and also provides for proper
places in which workmen can eat
their meals, and places the workshops
under the supervision of government
inspector, was enacted and its oper-
alton has been successful also. The
public works of the colony are con
Quoted most successfully on the CO.
operative principle. The highways
and railways are made on govern
ment surveys and estimates, and the
work is given out to gangs of men,
without the intervention of con-
tractors. The work is under the
superintendent of government
engineer, and if the men are unable
to supply tools and materials, the
government does SO at cost.
The Labor Bureau" is another ex-
cellent system which works in con-
junction with the cooperative prin-
ciple. A man wanting work, makes
application to the agent in charge of
his district, who will, as the employers
of labor leave orders for men at these
agencies, send the applicants to some
suitable occupation, paying if ne
cessary, for transportation, and the
loan is repaid from first money earn
ed.
These are but few of the many
reforms inaugurated in this colony,
and are the result of the spirit of in
dividualism as opposed to socialism.
There has been no attempt to tear
down established interests, nor has
there been any tendency to revo-
lutionary methods; the consul informs
us it has been accomplished by public
sentiment, peacefully, without dis
order, bloodshed or even a temporary
check to the development of trade and
manufactures. |

A good deal of sensible kicking is
being done, against the complex
questions asked in state examinations.
The questions are prepared by the
state board, and are as rule, couched
i'll abstruse language, and touching
ON points that are difficult for pupils
to connect with their text book studies.
While the questions are excellent,
they are more suitable as studies than
for examination purposes, but there
is too much of the theoretical and too
little of the practical in them. Ex-
aminations as now conducted, do not
give a fair review of the studies.

A leading New York paper con-
cisely sizes up the tariff issue when it
says there are three kinds of tariff,
namely: "a tariff for revenue, a
tariff for protection and a tariff for
robbery" We believe in the principle
of protection, but don't believe in
that kind that either the Mckinley
bill gives, nor the Wilson bill pro-
poses. In our opinion the Mckinley
tariff was too high, and in going be-
yond the actual measure of protec-
ton necessary to foster and protect
home industries, gave ground for
serious objection and resulted in de-
feat of the republican party. At first
the Wilson bill went too far to the
other extreme, but as it now stands it
is measure that is nothing less than
tariff for robbery, as many of its
items are tax to pay campaign debts
and to encourage further contri-
buttons when required. Our idea of
a tariff is, to simply protect, nothing
less or nothing more, and until the
public are convinced that our indus
tries are guarded not bonused, that
our manufactures are protected and
not subsidized, the tariff will never be
satisfactory to the nation. Mckinley,
evidently realized this fact for he
stated in his speech at Mime
apolis, that the changes must be
governed by the protective principle
"but not fall below rate which will
adequately measure the difference be-
tween the American scale of wages
and that of competing countries"

Institute at Starbuck last week, DR..
NJ. II. Reynolds, in speaking on the
management of wounds in domestic
animals, tho most Of which are caused
by barbed fence wire, said: 1t is
great mistaketo put lime, ashes OF
liniment on such wounds, the best
thing is in seven out of ten cases, to
turn the animal loose in the pasture.
Bleeding may be checked by using
dust, -four or tincture of myrrh and
to keep flies away, a preparation made
by mixing five parts of old fish oil,
five parts of pine tar and one part of
turpentine is very successful. When
Jumps form in healing of wounds
they had better be left alone.
