JERK YOUR STOMACH OUT.

Last week at Rome, an American
pathologist surprised the congress OF
physicians by declaring that he had a
process for laundrying the stomach.
Assuming that he was not telling an
1S-karat falSehood, this will indeed be a
great boon. to employ phrase that is
already sadly overworked.
If we can just carry out this plan of
laundrying the stomach, much of the
red-eyed woe and sob soaked tribulation
of this terrestrial sphere will be knocked
into splinters. if not smithereens.
The high-soprano stomach-ache will
have to give us quit claim deed to its
right to aggravate this vale of tears, and
that grim spectre dyspepsia will have
to adjourn and stop digging its toe
dominal tissues.
In fact, all the cynicism and meanness
and general cussedness of the world will
sink away and out of sight. The bru-
ns.te taste in the mouth viii be as an en-
envy who passed out of our life in our
bovhood and that full feeling after eat
ing" will no longer be dependent upon
DR.. Swaqum's chewing gum.
The doctors will pine away from idle
ness and the undertaken will occupy the
position that snakes do in Ireland
AL that will be necessary, will be to
take out our stomachs and hang them
over the clothes-line. where we can play
the hose on them and burnIsh them up
with sand paper.
The beautiful spectacle of man dip
ping his own stomach in tub of water
slightly tinted with bluing and then
deity slipping it through the wringer,
will be SIGHT to make the angels weep.
We hope it will pan out. Most of Us
have long felt the necessity of some ar
rangemert whereby we could get our
stomach on the outside and bang it with
a club, once or twice a week, for refrac-
tory conduct.
For years the human stomach has
been having everything its own way.
For centuries IL has been the worst enc
my man has had. and now when the
opportunity is presented for getting re-
venge, every man should be cooked and
primed TO drub his stomach into some
sort of self-respect.
OF course, all of us are someNs nat
handicapped by reason of not knowing
how to get our stomach outside without
causing ourselves a pang or two, bot
medicine has accomplished wonders, and
we anxiously await particulars from
Rome.

WAIT FOR TIE IDES.

Ii Clevelahd's veto of the seigniorage
bill proves nything, it shows that he is
opposed to his party on the further COIN
age of silver. 1t was in every sense a
Democratic measure, passed by Demo
cratic votes, and handed 20 the president
as the deliberate act of his party on that
question. There are evidences that party
influences were brought to bear and that
the party lash played some Kissing flour
ishes about the ears of recalcitraut MEM
bers to prevent its passage, but the vox
populi proved more potent influence
upon those VIII, did the voting. 1t was
nothing more nor less than a reflex of
the party's sentiment, and it gave the
president fine opportunity to show his
hand in the interest of a few
as against the wishes of the many.
His act shows conclusively that
the business policy of this administra-
ton is in the hands of monied clique
who have as little regard for party well
fare as for the peoples wishes. 1t shows
that the president is their willing tool,

defeat upon his party rather than
to cross the wishes of his plu-
tocratic friends. What matters it to
the rank and file of his party that
there has been barter and sale between
the administration and Wall street?
How is it thai the wishes of a great
national party should be sacrificed to
keep the terms of an outrageous COM
pact? Would the west or the south
willingly lay their heads under the gull
lotine 10 preserve amicable relations be-
tween these autocratlc vampires and
pig-headed executive? The vote on this
seigniorage bill says not. Like most of
the doings and things mundane this
whole farce is to have a sequel. We
await the ides of November '96 for its

CONFLICTING AUTHORITY.

Judge Caldwell and Judge jenkins
cannot both lie right in their decisions
on the strike. There was seeming of
politics in Caldwell's decision, the es-
sence of a cars ukase in that of Jen-
kins. Caldwell, maybe, has bee III his
bonnet, Jenkins head enlargement.
But In any event the result of the con-
gressonal committee is quite sure to
land both the decisions of Jenkins and
Caldwell in the United States supreme
court. Caldwell while assuming the
role of the autocrat in the Wichita order
posed as the politician in the Omaha de-
cision.
The conviction is slowly but surely be-
coming wide spread that the American
people must limit the powers of the Fed
eral courts and judges by the sharpest
definitions. A wholesome reform would
no donbt be found in doing away with
tho ''for life rule and appointing for a
term of years. The general assembly of
South Carolina has lately memorIalized
congress on the subject OF Federal
judges and railway receiverships. The
Federal judiciary is styled an usurpation
and Jefferson's words san irresponsi-
BILE body, working like gravity by night
and day, gaining little today, and lit
tie tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless
step like thief over the field of juris
diction until all shall be usurped from
our states and the government of all he
consolidated into one" is quoted. The
assembly of South Carolina in the mem
orial referred to concludes by asking
congress to define and limit the federal
courts in this matter of railway receiv-
erships and to prevent such courts and
their resources from interfering with
the laws of the states in the collection of
taxes and in the exercise of their police

FREIGET RATES,

The refusal of the supreme court to
give the railroads a rehearing in the
Symm's case ends fight of nearly three
years. Any further effort to defeat SIM
pie justice is only bluff and will not
rebound to the credit of the roads and
VIII prove very expensive. Wichita
and the interior towns are not asking
favors, but being tired of rank dscrimi-
nations, asked the roads to remedy the
matter, and getting no satisfaction ap-
pedled 10 the commissioners and the
courts. While the roads have fought
our interests from start to finish they
have been standing in their own light;
while they worked an injury to Kan
sas they injured themselves and they are
beginning to see il. But for the compli-
cations Of their traffic associations some
of the roads in Kansas would voluntari-
~ change their methods and try and
foster and build up the country tribu-
tary to them. Kansas has more than
three times as many miles of road per
capita as any other state, and it stands
tn reason that anything that will give US
prosperity and add to our population is
Just what the Kansas lines need. But,
Notwithstanding our immense mileage,
the roads have pursued a policy that to-
day there are three different org aniza-
ions scheming to get capital TO build
through the state from north TO south
and they have all grown out of the ex-
tortion and determinations of the
existing lines. No ether business
with one-tenth the capital and interest
at stake would pursue policy tina.
tends to diminish instead of increase
their business Kansas has suffered
from many things beyond the control
of men, but it would only be a question
OF time when the present management
of her roads would blast her were she
twice as productive. The Santa Fe road
has 1,700 miles of road within 100 miles
of Wichita, and all that benefits Us
adds to their business and anything that
Injuries us decreases their earnings, and
instead OF its being good business for
them 20 go around us or divert trade it
is suicidal, and it is the same in less
degree with the other lines. That the
iobbers' rates and the implement, coal
and lumber rates will be put in is in
evitable; any other course would only
accelerate the downward slide of their
stock quotations.

WHY WE ARE GUYED.

Mr.. Gleed's article comparing New
York City and Kansas excited a great
deal of comment. both in the east and
in the west. His conclusion is that Kan
sas is not one whit inferior to New York.
State pride insists on the conclusion, of
course. Still this doubt remains. And
it is doubt which can be swept away
like Kansas zephyr wiping out clap
boarded barn.
The Kansas man goes to New York.
Try as hard as he may to prevent the
feeling of a stranger, and struggle as he
will TO avoid all symptoms os surprise or
curiosity, as lie walks along the street.
he soon realizes that his conduct has
been out OF place, and his manner has
been commented upon. In short. he has
an uncomfortable feeling that he has
been guyed.
He has been told and he knows
that he is far superior in intellect to
three-fourths of the people of New York
City. But the Bowery tough, dressed
ontrageously, and the ignorant Pole, in
rags, stroilS along the street with a nom
chalance that the Kansas man from the
farm or the town cannot assume to save
his life.
Struggle as hard as he can, his chin
will tilt up when he finds high build

bulk Of city people do not care if the
Kansas man does look at the building.
They DO not care If he is from Kansas
Oregon or Paris But the loafer and the
idler, of which there are thousands does
notice it and when opportunity presents
itself, does guy the Kansas visitor.
Many kansan mas fooled himself
into believing that he has thor

have his self esteem crushed when a
confidence man approached him with
easy familiarity and tried TO play him
for a dupe.
Tie reason Kansas man Is so con-
spicuous in the city lies in the complete
difference between Kansas and New
York life. The Kansas man is used 10
the one. He cannot assume the other
al once great as hIs intellect may be.
There Is community OF interests IN
Kansas. There is more in New York.
There are no neighbors in New York.
