GOVERNOR MCKINLEY says now tina.
the people want tariff that will produce
sufficient revenue to run the government
If this is true, and it probably is, then
they do not want the Mckinley kind of a
tariff. 1t was SO nearly prohibitive that
in the short time it was in operation the
revenues were so reduced that President
Harrison left treasury to the Democrats
which was very much in the condition
that it is today. and if his term had lasted
a little longer he would have been forced,
like MIR. Cleveland. to devise some other
means of replenishing it. 1t is doubt
full, however, if he would have stopped
to the deception of pretending that he
was trying to maintain the gold reserve
as MIR. Cleveland has done. Every body
knows that the money derived from the
sale of bonds has been used to pay run
ming expenses, but the administration
keeps up the farce of pretending that
they are sold to keep the gold up to the
$1O0,OO00OO mark.

THERE is hardly city in the country
the SIZE Of Topeka that hssn't an active
organization of her business men in the
form of board of trade or chamber of
commerce whose business it is to look
out for the home interests. Topeka has
sometimes had such an organization,
but its energies have always been largely
expended in the direction of booming
real estate. The last organized effort to
do anything in the interest of the city
was about two years ago. whenftwo or
three meetings were held. They were
well attended and much enthusiasm was
manifest. Committees including some
of the leading citizens were appointed
to induce the Burlington railroad to
build into the city and also to secure
Missouri river freight rates for Topeka.
The committees never reported and the
whole matter was dropped. What is
needed is a live active organization, with
some money in its treasury and a salaried
secretary to look after the city's interests
and the work of committees With such
an organization manufacturing concerns
could be induced to come here, and in
fiaence might be brought TO bear on the
railroads centering here to run morning
trains into the city ut least ono day in
the week to enable the people of the
surrounding territory desiring to do SO
to come to the capital and trade without
being compelled to go to the expense of
remaining over night. huch could be
done on these and other lines if an
organization can be effected which will
not degenerate into an institution for the
sale of real estate. What is the good of
trying to get people to come here unless
We can give them something to do?

WHAT Topeka is in need of Is not the
ter trains to Kansas City, but theatrical
attractions here at home. 1t must be ad
mitted that the dearih of entertainments
in this city has grown worse and worse
in the last year or two. At present the
sitnation is esperate.-Capital.
If the theater trains are run to Kansas
City this winter, next winter we shall
have good plays here, don't you fear
about that There's nothing like real
good object lesson. The people of To-
pska demand plays suited to their cul-
ture and Intelligence, and if they can't
got them in Topeka, they will go to Kan
sas City for them. Ths theater train ia
in the nature OF an organized protest,
don't you see?

WHEH the metropolitan police system
was established it was understood to be
for the purpose of rendering the service
more efficient, but in its operation it
seems to have developed into something
little better than the old system, when
the successful ward hseler was given q
beat Immediately following each success
sive election. Considering the amount
of money that the taxpayers of Topeka
are called upon to put up for the main
tenance of the police forcs they are GER
tainly entitled to better protection than
they are getting. Things have been going
from bad to worse for some time now, but
no disposition toward any Improvement
has yet been manifested by those in au-
thority. How much worse must coudi-
tions of lawlessness become before some
thing is done toward reliefP

during the approaching session of con-
gress,Mr. Reed seems in fair way to win.
He possesses one advantage in point of
availability as such things go, not pos
sessed by any other prominent candi-
date; he has not committed himself on
any prominent public question. He is
in position to accept any kind of plat
form the party may see fit to give him
and nobody will be able to say that 1t
does not voice his exact sentiments. The
others are known as uncompromising,
gold standard advocates, and Mckinley
has the additional burden of his radical
position on the tariff The party may
wish to let the tariff alone, If SO, who
could represent it better than Reed. He
is also in position to take either side
of the money question.

THE RIYER ROSE
Which Destroyed Mrs. MI1Ier's Chickens

A damage suit, which resembles Bill
Nye's famous duck story, is being tried

of Martin and Dennis addition, wants

ing the Kansas river to come up to her
door and drown her chickens.
In the spring of 1892 the spring rise
of the river came up ID ravine near Haw-
thorne street, where Mrs. Miller lived,
and drowned her poul ~, filled her cell
lar with water, washed her sidewalks,
and all because, she says, of defective
sewer which should have carried the
water away, but which acted as dam
and caused the river water to fill the
street. The case has bsen partly tried
in the circuit court and put of from
time to time.
