ENGLAND IN THE JAM TRADE.
0ladstone's Wisdom In Advising the Farm
ers to Cultivate Fruit.

ers IN Cultivate Fruit.
A few years ago, when Mr.. Gladstone,
In one OF his charming bucolic orations
at Hawarden, recommended the British
farmer to turn his attention to fruit
cultivation and the making of jam, his
advice was received with good deal of
cheap and ignorant ridicule. As usual,
the ex-premier has proved good deal
wiser than his critics, and those who
gave ear to his counsel in this instance
have had no reason to regret their con-
hdence- In an interview famous pro-
WIDER said to q representative of the
Westminster Gazette: ...
THE motive that induced me to take
up the jam trade was my knowledge of
the fact that within late years the de-
mand for preserves has been steadily
increasing, while that for butter has
no doubt in consequence-shown a
tendency rather to decline than other
wise Catering as do for some three
hundred Thousand daily customers, I
have naturally good opportunity of
knowing what the public want in
the matter of provisions.
Jam has great future before it.
The people are using it more and more
largely every year-and, in my opinion,
they are doing wisely, for what could
be cheaper and at the same time
healthier than good jam made from
sound English fruit?
II attribute the superiority of Eng
lish fruit to the nature of the soil and
TO the fact that the fruit ripens more
gradually in our climate than in coun-
tries where there ia mora coptiD,,o,,e
and powerful sunshine. The slower
the ripening process, the better is the
flavor of the fruit. NJ r.
You may not, perhaps, be aware
that strawberries grown in the north
ern parts of Scotland are vastly superior
IN all respects to those grown in south
ern England-without doubt because
they take longer 70 mature. Australian
Jams are being pushed largely in In
dla and elsewhere, and may very prob
ably come over here before long to
compete with our home produce. -,
In Ireland there is a magnificent
future for the fruit-growing industry,
II only its opportunities were turned to
account. Even now most of the black
berries that come to the English mar
kets are grown in Ireland. But there
are enormous possibilities there of
which no one has yet taken advantage.
Properly worked, it's fruit trade might
yet do much to insure Ireland's com
mercial prosperity"

The Atchison COntraetg.

Regarding the sbrogstion Of old con-
tracts under the reorganization Of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Aldace
F. Walker, Chairman Of the new Board
of Directors, says the situation is sub
stantially as follows:
There are in existence several thousand
contracts, agreements, leases, ETC., all
running to the Old company, itssuccessors
and assigns. Many Of them, however, are
terminable on short notice or at will.
Possibly 80 per cent. Of them are fair and
In every way desirable to be continued.
The new company is entitled to rea-
sonable time for their examination, and
unless their cancellation or modification
is found desirable they will remain in
effect without change. A few of them
have already been considered and their
adoption in their present form has been
thought on the whole undesirable. The
Pullman contract is the only one OF this
class in which the public is likely to be
interested. Pending the necessary
negotitions over details, which may cover
several months, the sleeping car service
Of the line will continue as heretofore.

ing, not for the good Of the people, but
for their own profit, and they become so
absorbed in this industry that needed
legislation is neglected and the public
money sQuandered in a useless waste Of
time. This evil could be prevented, to q
great extent, by the diacontinuance OK
the practice Of issuing passes to pro-
fessional politicians, and it is more than
likely that a dispenser Of transportation
has not been appointed, because Presi-
dent Ripley sees the wisdom of getting
along in the future without one.
If the railroads will put down this evil
and will keep out of politics the people
will elect men to make laws who viii
see that justice shall be done to all classes
Of property alike. But so long as the
railroads, by taking hand in politics,
invite attack, questions Of real interest
will be overlooked and railroad bills at
tempted which are prejudicial to the
best interests of the business Of public
transportation. - Kansas CITY Star,

Policemen on Bicycles.

On last Monday morning Commissioner
Andrews, of the Metropolitan Police Of
New York, called thirty patrolmen before
him for the purpose Of selecting couple
of men for duty on bicycles. The idea
is to place the men on duty in this way
as an experiment, to see how the scheme
will turn out. All Of the men who came
before the Commissioner claimed to be
expert cyclists and each showed great
desire to get the appointment 1t is eVi-
dent from this that cycling is popular
among the members of "the finest" If
the experiment proves successful it is
very probable that the bicycle will sup
plant the horse as mounts for the police
in the annexed districts.
The Commissioners is of the opinion
that the bicycling policemen will be just
as efficient, and as men on wheels can
outgo horse they will be Of much more
use in stopping runawsys. The bicycles
will, Of course, be furnished by the New
York Police Department, and already
large number of manufacturers, who
want their wheels tried, have written to
the Commissioner. The policemen who
will ride have not yet been appointed,
but it has been determined that the
uniform to be worn will be the regulation
police cloth made into q neat and
serviceable bicycle uniform. Baltimore

Egypt as q Cotton Country.

United States Consul General Panfeld
at Cairo, Egypt, has made report to the
State Department calling attention to
the rapid growth Of Egypt as COM
petitor with the United States for the
cotton markets Of the world. At present
Egyptian cotton is sold at Alexandria for
2 cents per pound more than the price Of
American cotton, and owing to the
superiority of the Egyptian product, it
is being purchased in quantities for ex-
port to the United States. The sales,
which ten years ago amounted to but
1916 bales, have increased until, from
the best estimates, it is believed that dur
ing the year beginning September l,
1896, no less than $4,000 bales will be
shipped to the United States, and as
these Egyptian bales are 80 per cent.
larger than the American, the exports to
this country will really amount to $4,000
bales, according to our standard. Mr..
Panfeld urges that efforts be made by
our planters to grow the Egyptian long
staple cotton in this country, holding
that there must certainly be some pOr-
ton adapted to it's growth, probably the
Mississippi valley or the BrazoB river sec-
ton in Texas.

Railroads and Politics.

The politicians of Kansas are said to be
in stew Of excitement because the new
management of the Santa Fe has not
designated q special agent to run the
politics of the State. This has been done
under former managements, and, as the
time for renewals of annual passes is at
hand, politicians who have been in the
habit of receiving them are in state Of
feverish anxiety. They have had free
transportation over the Santa Fe for 80
many years that they cannot reconcile
themselves to the possibility Of being
compelled to pay fare. The other COM
panies have not been so liberal as the
Santa Fe, and in losing passes on that
road many country statesmen who now
ride free would lose all.
This alarm is not without reasonable
ground. There is no doubt that much Of
the oppressive legislation concerning
railroads which has been enacted or at
tempted in the past has been inspired by
professional legislators, who, not content
with their free transportation, have
sought toextort other fsvors. This stand
and-deliver policy has been recognized by
the railroad managements as legitimate
for so long that it has become biennial
source of revenue for many men who ap-
parently have no other means Of earning
q living. II they are not members of the
Legislature they are in the lobby, work

OUR DEBT TO BE INCREASED.
1t is Proposed to Add to shawnee COunty'S
Heavy Burden.

Heavy Burden.
Shawnee county to-day faces . propo-
sition which, if carried out, means debt
Of &ll3,750. Monstrous and infamous as
it is, we believe the people have not, as a
rule, comprehended its import, but sim
ply because it has not been presented TO
them as to its local effect. There is moth
ing complex or intricate about it; any
l4-year-old school boy in Shawnee county
can demonstrate the truth Of the state
ment as presented. And it affects every
other county in Kansas as well in pro-
portion to its population.
This astounding proposition to shoul-
der such q debt on the people Of this
county has already been referred to in o
general way in these columns It 10
made by the President Of the United
States in his message to Congress on the
opening day. In his recommendations
he advocates the retirement Of the green
backs and treasury notes, amounting in
round numbers to $780, 100000. To carry
out this plan he asks authority to issue
bonds to buy gold with which to redeem
and cancel this paper money. The in
terest and principal Of these bondswould
be payable by the voters, which, accord
ing to the best authorities, number IA
100000.
Divide the proposed amount Of the
bond issue, s5OO,OOO, 900, by the number
Of voters, 100000, and we find that a
little over $3.50 is the share Of each
voter.
Shawnee county had over II 900 voters
at the last State election. Multiply the
number of voters by the share Of each in
this bond debt (s375O) and we have this
county's share Of the proposed debt,
The amount, it will readily be seen, ia
S4l3,75O.
This is the cold -blooded proposition Of
the President OF the United States.
We appeal to the people, regardless Of
politics, to investigate this matter; to
study systems whereby they are robbed
indirectly Of the benefits they should
enjoy from their toll. Political systems
are arranged SO that the producers may
be bled in a roundabout way. The cry
Of the politician, beseeching the farmer
to keep out Of politics, may be Iikened to
the highwsyman who commands his vic
tim to stand still while he goes through
his pockets.
Every citizen Of this nation ought to
enter his vigorous protest in an effective
manner against the carrying out Of such
a diabolical proposition.
