UNDER the caption, "What Regulates
Values" the New Orleans Picayune
makes an effort to prove that it is supply
and demand and nothing else and applies
the rule to the money metals as well as
everything else. The article is rendered
homogeneous by the statement that legis
lation can in no way effect values The
only thing necessary to upset this posi-
ton is to point to the fact that legis-
lation has lessened the demand for sill
yer and thereby increased the demand
for gold and in that way has sent values
which were once equal on at a certain
ratio, wide apart. What legislation has
done it can undo and the parity of value
between gold and silver bullion will be
restored when the parity of coinage value
is restored.

DEPEW TURNS UP HIS NOSE
At the Pass Begging Proclivitfes of Mem
beers of the Legislature.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The amendment
to the state constitution, prohibiting the
railroads to issue deadhead tickets to
members Of the legislature touches the
Albany lawmakers on very tender spot
The practice of riding on passes had be-
come so general that the Legislators find
some difficulty in abiding by the new
rule. Chauncey NJ Depew tells a very
good story of how this particular amend
ment happened to be adopted by the
constitutional convention.
81 have been in the habit" said DR.
Depew, "of voluntarily sending senators
and assemblymen passes year after year.
But did not send passes to the consti-
tutiona1 convention delegates last spring,
because I somewhat questioned the pro-
priety of doing it. But nearly every
member of the convention sent for a
pass. They all got them, and with them
in their pockets they passed that amend
ment to the constitution And since
then" he added, with a smile, 'ten of
those delegates who voted the pass sys-
tenn away sent me personal letters asking
me to extend their passes through 1895.
In Cohoes they call that kind of thing
cold, unmitigated gall. l will not at
tempt to characterize it."

counted for so much. In other diree-
tions there never has been a time when
the individual counted for so little. i x
We have reached in human society
and in this country in its highest form
the era of combination. Combination
implies community of interests 1t is not
utter selfshness."
DIR. Low might have added with equal
propriety that organizations of capital
immensely increased in number and
power also. These organizations of labor
and of capital are but paving the way
for union of interests and unanimity
of action when the people shall be ready
for it and shall be fully impressed with
the necessity for it.

one az Cherokee Kansas, that is Blood
thirsty Monster.
An engine on the Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Memphis railroad killed Harry
Terry at Cherokee, Kansas, Friday. He
was run over by engine No. $50 This
engine, which is now in charge of En-
gineer Pat Harmon, has a notorious
record as killer, and is regarded as a
hOodoo by railroad men.
About seven years ago it killed Con-
ductor Frank Terry of Weir City, and
two years later cut off the foot of John
Terry, and on Friday morning it backed
over Harry Terry, brother of John, and
literally cut him to pieces.
Within the past six months it killed
Brakeman VIM. Smith and O. E. Walters
in the Cherokee yards. On the Ozark
division it ran over and killed q man and
a span of mules, and later killed Brake
man John Messoh, in the Weir City yards.
About two months ago Engineer Parsons
took out $50 while his own engine was
undergoing repairs, and he ran over and
killed woman in Pittsburg.

DISTRICT COURT ENDS.
Judge Hazen Disposed of $50 Cases Dur
ing the september Term.

Judge Hazen Disposed of $50 Cases Dur
ing the September Term.
The Septemb Der term, 1894, of the dis
trict court was practically closed today,
although final adjournment will not take
place until Saturday morning, when
Judge Hazen will decide such motions,
demurrers and other matters as he now
has under consideration.
The number of cases actually tried
and disposed of since the beginning of
the term on September Sd is 400, be-
sides $50 motions and demur-
rers that have been heard and
decided by the court during the
same time. These figures are made up
from a careful examination of the trial
aud motion dockets for the Septem Der
term.
During the January and April terms
1894, the record made by Judge Hazen
was fully equal to that of the present
term. 1t is gratifying to know that. the
party bringing suit can be sure of his
case being reached for trial at the first
term after it is filed. The number of new
cases being filed in the district court
averages little less than a hundred a
month, including criminal cases and ap-
peals from justices of the peace.
An examination of the criminal docket
for the September term shows the fol-
lowing disposition of cases:
Nine defendants sentenced to pay a
fine.
Three sentenced to the reform school
Twenty-Five with a fine and Jail SEN
tence.
Thirteen sentenced to the peniten-
tiary.
The amount of business on the trial
docket for the January term which be-
gins mex Monday, is considerably smaller
than that on the docket at the beginning
of this term.
The jury has been summoned to ap-
pear on tuesday, January 18th.

Hays City Property Holders Involved in a
Suit With Uni ted States.
HAYS CRY, Kas., Jan. 9.-The United
States government has commenced suit
against one hundred or more property
holders in the northwest quarter, section
80, township 10, range 49, United States
Marshal Nicely was in the city few days
this week serving papers. The ground
for these suits arises from what appears,
that prior to the time the Union Pacific
Railroad company acquired their title
under the subsidy granted by the general
government, ID man by the name of Rose
filed pre- emptlon on the quarter. The
railway company completing the road
subsequent to Roses filing, the govern
ment brings suit to dispossess the pres
ent owner. The suit takes in all the res
idence property in the northwest part of
town. The suit has been brought in the
United States district court at Topeka
and parties have been summoned for the
first Monday in February.

BRITISHERS JEALOUS.
They Say American Meat Has Driven Eng
Iish Meat From the Market.

Iish Meat From the Market.
LONDON, Jan. 9-The meeting last
evening of the meat and cattle section of
the London chamber of commerce in
Memorial hall has served to bring out a
storm of Jealous abuse in regard to
American meat and American business
methods.
The Daily Telegraph states that the
American beef kings, after half running
pose to take an additional million from
British traders and consumers. This
statement is repeated on all sides. Chair
man Cooper of the cattle section of the
London chamber of commerce, is quoted
as saying: IF it is merely a question
of no abatement there is no doubt
the retailers could have accepted
the situation. But it is viewed by many
as marking the beginning of a series OF
other encroachments of trade.
The Americans go so far as to say not
only shall the salesman be deprived of
the pound and quarter allowance in
every quarter of meat heretofore allowed
in order to compensate for the loss by
shrinkage in transit and in cutting up,
but he must not make such an allowance
to his customers This is only the first
step towards obtaining control of the
market and when it suits their fancy to
corner the trade.
"The reason Americans have obtained
such hold on the English market is
that they have sent meat to it perfectly
regardless of the price at which it was
sold. This was merely to create de-
mand. But in so doing they have prac-
tically forced their meat upon the mar
ket, and. what is more, they have forced
English meat clean out of the market
