THURSDAY. DECEMBER 81, 1896.
wIpINn on an scoRrs.

With the ending Of the year the num-
ber OF suicides appears TO be on the in
crease Many men and women who
look over the past twelve months find
that their record of achievements is
written in red ink They have moth
ing to their credit. They are debtors
TO their best ambitions, bankrupt in
every sense Of the word. These unfor-
tunates have not the courage to begin
the clear pages of another year. Cow
ards from their numerous failures,
they take the lives given them in which
to do noble deeds
Americans try TO bear too many bur
dens. Their exuberance Of nature
causes them to cherish large am bitious
They demand great things Of existence.
HypothecAting the future, they live
under high pressure, and when they
reach the time for an accounting, they
find it difficult 20 extricate themselves
from the involved conditions they have
made by their peculiar methods Of
dealing with their opportunities
When all this is said and doue, how.
ever, there is no reason for men to de.
spsir. No misfortune is necessarily
irretrievable and even the most severe
troubles are softened by time. A great
deal of the unhAppiness that kills the
Joy Of living is due to faults that can
be remedied and many of the failures
can be transformed into triumphs by
earnest endeavor. The man who com
mits suicide admits that he is beneath
the brute creation. that be is SO weak
he voluntarily meets death rather than
make supreme effort to throw of
bad habits or meet severe trials
II last years ledger is too much in.
scribed in red ink, there is every reason
TO hope that next year will bear bet
ter record. The holiday time should
be the season OF new hopes and en-
couraging resolutions. 1t should be a
relief to begin again with all mistakes
put aside until they can be rectifed

THERE is something inhuman and
shocking in the cremation Of the body
Of Kate Field, which was Of course
done by her own wish. That she gave
such directions Is in line with other in
dications that her mind had taken a
morbid turn, a cynical mental condi-
tioD no doubt dnc 20 the wreck Of
some amatory experience Of her earlier
life, or possibly to the lack Of any love
experience. The idea Of the whole

tesqne. We have a dozen. yea, three

fame never goes beyond the county

liant and efferyescent Kate Field

rnE SANTA M RECEnrRsnIp.

Kansas City World: The Santa Fe
receivership case, which attracted so
much attention, not only in Kansas
but in the commercial world in gen
eral, is ended. AT Oskaloosa yesterday
Judge Myers set aside the order APP
pointing receivers and dismissed all in
functions granted in support of the re-
ceivership.
1t is particularly gratifying that the
suit was ended in the court in which it
was begun. 1t had been charged that
the persons who instituted the suit did
SO to further conspiracy entered into
for the purpose OF depreciating Santa
Fe stocks in order that they might
profit thereby. II had been charged
that Judge Myers, II not party to the
conspiracy, was at least on friendly
terms with the conspirators, and that
the Santa Fe railroad company could
not secure justice In his court The
decisiou is doubtless a just one, and II
forever sets at rest all charges concern
ing Judge Myers completely in the
F. conspiracy, if indeed there was a con-
spiracy.
The decision will make more secure
all railroad investments In Kansas
The suit was instituted aud the re.
ceiyers appointed under law which
prohibits alien corporations from ac-
quiring lands in the state. Judge
Myers, in his decision, holds that this
law does not apply 10 railroad corpor-
ations. This decision, coming as It
does, from state court is an assur-
ance TO eastern capitalists that invest
ments in Kansas are as secure as they
are anywhere. 1t viii do much 10 re-
move the impression that the courts Of
Kansas are revolutionary IN their ten
denotes, and In them corporations can
not secure justice,

FoRTUNATELY, the South McAlester
Capital does not speak for the whole
territory in opposing statehood. 1t
says "Thc Oklahoma statehood bill
Is dead, so far as the present session
Of congress is concerned. Congress
need not defer action on the Oklahoma
measure in the hope Of bringing In In
dianola and Oklahoma at the same
time. That would never do. All of
lndianola and half of Oklahoma is OPP
posed to statehood on such terms;
therefore congress can act in the mat
ter Of statehood whenever it pleases,
just SO it pleases to leave us out OF con-
sideration altogether.

Ar an Irish Indignation meeting Of
Catholics and protestsnts in Dublin
yesterday the reports showed that the
excess Of proper taxation in ireland
amounts to sl3, 500, 900 annually The
report will be a surprise to people so
far away from Ireland as Colorado, be-
cause it gives a small indication Of the
value and wealth of the country. II
these large ngures are merely the mar
gin above a normal assessment OF tax
alton Ireland must amount to a good
deal more in an agricultural and man
ufacturing way than is generally sup.
posed. Colorado is good deal bigger
than the green isle, and she has mine S
Of gold and silver, but her valuation
can not compare with that which these
