It sometimes happens that newspapers
are deceived by advertisers and led to
indorse an unworthy institution, but that
cannot be done when a newspaper knows
better. 1t is therefore the bare truth
which the Detroit Press utters when it
says: Ancient glories had not been re-
vived until the Great Wallace Shows I'M
dertook the presentation of an arena
display that has never been surpassed.
Their street pageant was the outwar j
manifestation of their pledge to the peo-
pie, and the $4,000 people who crowded
the monster tents at River Fork park
afternoon and evening were we'll salts
fed with what they had seen"

JERRY AND CIVIL WAR.

He Says Eastern Men Will Fight Before
They'll Stand Free Coinage.
The Kansas Commoner of yesterday,
published at Wichita, says:
Jerry Simpson. when he was here last
week said that it was a common saying
among eastern congressman at Washing
ton that they would put armies in the
field and fight before they would let the
government coin silver free aud allow the
south and west to LAY off their mortgages
in fifty cent dollars. Jerry used to say
to them: you must recollect that two
can play at that game and you fellows
may commit rash act and thereby lose
your beads, as we'll as have the mortgage
debts repudiated.

In Spite of the Saloon Tax 1t Dismisses
Fifteen Teachers.
John Macdonald says that it is the
sillest of bosh to say that cities profit by
the tax they levy on saloons for the vio-
lation of the prohibitory law.
II am satisfied that there is not thing
in it," said he, "for Wichita has always
licensed the joints and the city has re-
ceived the tax which was applied to the
expenses of keeping up the schools, but
Notwithstanding that fact the Wichita
school board has just found it necessary
to dismiss fifteen teachers
Topeka has never received cent
from the jointists in the way of tax and
we are in better condition than any of
the so called license towns, and this year
we not only did not cut off any of our
teachers but restored the cut in salaries
made last year."

AUTHORITY DIFFERS
Or Appears to at the state House on Tow
Sites.

OE appears 90 at the SCaCS mouse on xOWn
Sites.
A Topeka lawyer calls attention to the
fact that Attorney General Dawes re-
versed decision of the Kansas supreme
court when he few days ago gave out a
lengthy opinion declaring the laws
passed by the late Legislature vacating
numerous town sites unconstitutional
The laws vacating town sites filed 50
pages of the session laws of 1895. Mr.
Dawes in his opinion said they were all
void.
It was, however, only last February
that the supreme court, in a unanimous
decision, decided the other way.
The case decided was that of the city of
Eudora VS.. Darling, appealed from Doug
lass county, where it was tried before
Judge A. W. Benson. Judge Benson de-
cided that a law of 1889 vacated certain
parts of the TOWNSHIP of Eudora
1t was appealed on the grounds that it
was unconstitutional, but the supreme
court affirmed the decision of Judge
Benson.
Chief Justice Horton wrote the opin-
ion and both Justices johnson and Allen
concurred.
The syllabus of this case was printed in
the Advocate, which was the official
state paper at that time, and it is re-
ported in the Pacific Reporter. Vol. So
Page 1874.
According to this supreme court de-

PUBLIC BICYCLE TRACKS.
An Original Proposition by the Manhat-
tan Mercury That Has Merit.

An Original Proposition by the Man nat
tan Mercury That Has Merit.
The Manhattan Mercury says: The
bicycle has passed from the realm of
pleasure and healthy exercise to prom
inent place in the commercial world. As
a factor in passenger traffic it has seri-
ousIy affected the livery business in every
city and town in the entire country. 1t
is but an infant as compared with what
it will yet be. Looking dowR the vista
of time for short distance only, and we
see the double bicycle track stretching
like the railroad tracks all over the
country. In this connection we can see
no reason why bicycle companies cannot
by legislative enactment obtain right
of way upon the railroads right OF way
of course the railroads are potent fac
tors in the legislatures and the courts,
but there is now an army of blcyclIsts
and the fight would be hot one. Pri-
vate property is promptly condemned
for corporation purposes, and we gee no
reason why corporation property should
not be in turn condemned for other cor
poration purposes.
The company that will organize and
build double bicycle track from Man
haitian to Kansas City will lead the world
in profitable enterprise, which in the
near future must become one of the best
known to the world. The track
eight to twelve inches wide, box
shape, six inches deep on single
posts, following the railroad grade, would
not cost much more than the telephone
line, while the toll it would pay continu-
ously would exceed the diamond mines
of Africa.
These lines need not be confined to the
railroads, but can be extended on all the
public roads leading into the city. Mud
and rain would be no bar Sleet and
snow would interfere, but they are OF
only temporary character. The farmer
living ten miles in the country could
wheel into town in thirty minutes and
return with the doctor or medicine in the
same time The multiplied uses of this
system Of passenger traffic will certainly
commend it to capital and enterprise.
Let Manhattan be the first to start the
bicycle track.

Francisco from collecting its taxes from
the Central Pacific owing to the great
increase in the tax levy of this year,
which would interfere with the earning
capacity Of the railroad.
WASHINGTON, November 3O.-The San
Francisco dispatch stating that United
States District Attorney Foote had noti-
fed the Attorney General Of that State
end the attorneys Of the California Board
Of Railroad Commissioners that the
United States had determined to contest
the action Of the Commissioners in or
dering the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company to inaugurate a schedule of
reduced rates, was read with interest by
the officials Of the department Of Justice.
Assistant Attorney General Russell,
who is in charge OF litigation affecting
the land grant and bond-aided railroads,
stated that District Attorney Foote had
acted in the matter without specific in
structions from the Attorney General.
His position as the legal representative
Of the government in that State and the
general instructions from the depart
ment, Mr.. Russell said, were sufficient
warrant for the District Attorney acting
as be had, especially il he believed the
case to be one demanding immediate
attention. The interest of the govern
ment in the case, if it had any, Mr..
Russell explained, was due to the fact
that the Southern Pacific company was
the lessee Of the Central Pacific road,
which was q debtor to the United States
to the extent Of many millions of dollars.
