To Test the Prairie Fire Law.

The Santa Fe Railway is preparing
to commence suit to test the constitu-
tionality of the law passed by the last
session of the Legislature, which gave
the right to western Kansas counties
to levy a tax to afford protection
against prairie fires, by blowing fire
guards. The Santa Fe paid this tax
i'll Ness, Rush, Lane, Sedgwick and
Scott counties under protest, and the
suit is now brought to secure the re-
funding of an aggregate Of about
$4,000. 1t is expected that the suit
will be filed in Scott county.
The Santa Fe Railway is as much
benefited by the fire guards as indi-
vidual citizens. The protection affor
ded by fire guards is a saving to the
railway in litigation and payment of
losses by prairie fires.

The San Francisco "Call" is not
ready to admit that Colorado has
passed California in the production
of gold, or that such an event is
probable. 1t says that while there
has been no recent startling discovery
of ore in California, a great amount
of prospecting is going forward, old
claims have been reopened, and gold
mining operations are active in two
thirds Of the counties of the State.
One mine of which the public hears
little has 1000 men at work. It is
certain that every State in the Union
where gold is found is incraasing its
output, and that California's lead

Every thing High at Cripple Greek.
E. E. Houghton of Arkansas City,
bias returned from Cripple Greek and
is favorably impressed. Speaking of
its resources he said:
~FfCripple Creek is great town at
present. Bennett avenue is jammed
with people from morning until night,
ard Second street is the same. The
restaurants and hotels are unable to
feed the people or furnish sleeping
accommodations. Butcher shops are
crowded with customers and wagon
loads of produce can be sold on the
streets at all hours.
The Palace and Portland are the
principal hotels and they turn people
away by the hundreds. Every
business man seems to be getting
rich, but it takes big money to get a
location. All buildings that are put
up are rented for weeks in advance,
the rent running from 500 to $500
per month for small store room.
Hundreds of buildings, both business
and residence, are in course of con
struction and it is impossible to lease
a piece of ground to put building
on.
All seem to be busy and work is
plenty. Wages for hotel help range
from cook, $35 per week, down to
walters, from $12 to $14. Laborers
at mines are paid from 81 to S. per
day.

Fell Dead While Praising the Lord
While attending the Free Methodist
church, near Arkansas City, Sunday
last Z. B. Metca:f fell over and died
from heart failure while the services
were in progress of closing.
Mr.. Metcalf arose to give test
mony. He was calm and deliberate
in his talk, and showed no signs of
excitement or illness. His remarks
ended with eff I should not live to
see the rising of another sun feel
that wonld 60 to heaven. Praise
the Lord!" Mr.. Metcalf took his
seat then and the congregation com
menced singing the closing hymn.
Hiss Georgia Hill sat next to Mr..
Metcalf and she noticed that he had
fallen over in the seat, and then the
alarn was given. The singing
stopped and members of the church
went to Mr.. Metcalf's assistance.
They readily saw that he was in o
bad condition and unconscious. He
was heard to murmur, "Praise the
Lord" They were the last words he
uttered. for he expired a few moments
later.

II. CLAY EVANS is right in saying
that the Republican victories in
Missouri and Tennessee in 1894 and
in Kentucky and Maryland in 1895
broke the solid South. In 1896 tn
conditions promise to be still better
for the Republicans. It would be
hard to find an intelligent Democrat
anywhere who believes his party will
carry more than two.thirds of the ex
slave States this year. This is one of
the reasons why SO small an amount
OF interest is being taken by either
Democrats or Republicans in the
question of the selection Of the
Democratic candidate. Globe Demo

Thoughts On Patriotism in Conform.
II with Christianity.
BY CYRUS STANLEY.

We have heard much of late in re.
gard to the duty, standing and char
acter of our patriotic people; and
country; and the question as regards
our duty to ourselves, as we stand at
the head of civilized, enlightened
and Christian Nations. That we may
still be found advancing in the estim
alton of all other nations. instead of
retrograding, or dropping to level
with such as may be counted only part
ly civilized, we ask is it according to
the Divine plan or idea, that we as
a Christian people should rise in arms
against an unchristian nation, to give
them an example of what we mean by
the term Christian, or to compel them
to be Christians by brute force. I
think not. If we could only realize
that the publication of politics and
the destruction of the corrupt meth
DDS which gives us unworthy public
officers, are more truly directions for
patriotic effort than the excitement to
war can ever be, it would be great
moral victory for this Nation. It is
the Divine idea of citizenship ami
patriotism that We want applied in
our American citizenship, instead of
brute force, if we expect to raise in
the estimation of other nations. And
to grow strong and powerful as a
Christian nation we must live what
we profess. We want to get citizens
SO loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven
and its King that they will carry His
laws and purposes into their earthly
citizenship. There can be no divided
loyalty. Our Nation cannot be right
SO long as she has one standard for
Heaven and another for earth. no
more than man can. Loyalty to /;
Christ and the highest loyalty to our !
country will not pull man in two
different directions. Neither will it |
pull the Nation to do evil. The two
are always in parallel lines. The Ma
ton that hungers after Righteousness
fright wisdom) and goes manfully or
rightly to work to show others how
to be righteous, is helping to make a
better earthly country out of this of
ours. The person who is the most
obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ in
his daily life and in his intercourse
with men, is also the best citizen; and
The most of force in increasing the
power of this Nation.

once said:
The affairs of this world cannot be conducted

to destroy and outlaw silver and those who seek
to place it upon an equality with gold, That is
the contest; and 1 am for the full and com plete

The following gem taken from the
Chicago Tribune of January 16, 1878,
applies pretty good to the present
contest:
If the government has been paying gold in
terest, it had that right by the original agree
ment, and it may hereafter pay silver interest
by the same right. The option is in the govern
ment, and it has never been surrendered and
never will be. How often must this be repeated
before the gOldites will consent to accept the
fact? We have had enough Shylock talk about
public credit, good faith, "honor, -" under
standings, Expectations, and "suppositions."
The surest way to kill public credit, good faith
and honor is to smash down the price OF proper
ty paraiyZe business, paUperize labor, bank
Tupt enterprise, and drive the people into pow
eTty and despair; and that is precisely the role
the gOld-yolpers are playing.
