The Freight Rate Convention.

That freight rates on Kansas roads
are exOrbitant has for years been an
admitted fact. As far back as 1890
both great political parties Of Kansas
declared in most emphatic terms for
legislation to correct the evil. Those
two parties elected almost all the
members Of the legislature, yet,
strange as it may appear, no law was
passed to give the people relief.
The resolutions passed at the con-
ventiOn meet my hearty approval,
but do they coincide with the public
sentiment? Did not the convention
make mistake in demanding a re-
duction of freight rates? Would it
not have been more in accord with
public sentiment 10 have begged for
relief from the European money lords
that own and operate our railroads?
Was the convention really in earn
est when it demanded that the legis-
lators to be elected this fall should
honestly work for needed railroad leg
islation? History informs US that no
prominent public man ever honestly
worked for railroad legislation in the
interest of the people but that was re-
tired from public life. Our own state
is no exception to the rule.
Mr.. Greenlee, author of the Greenlee
railroad bill, introduced in the session
of 1893, has never been heard of since.
two-thirds Of the Republican men,
bers that voted for that measure were
not even accorded denomination by
their party, while two thirds of those

An Interesting Little Book of Poems to
be Issued This Week by a New Ha-
ven Man.
There will be issued this week a book
of original poems which come from the
pen of William Handling, a young
Scottish-American who is well known
in this city. Several of the poems have
appeared from time to time in the
Journal and Courier, notably among
which were CLEANS Of Immortality
Leave Me Not When I Am Lonely
Spring in Scotland" Lines on
Burns etc. All of them have been
highly complimented.
The book is well printed and neatly
bound. and consists of some 200 pages,
containing nearly 100 different pieces.
The introduction to the book has been
written by the Rev. Frank A. Scofield,
of Grace Methodist church, who says
that the poetry is natural; that the
subjects, for the most part, are chosen
from scenes of household and pastoral
life, and that any one cannot but feel
richer by their perusal. On the front
page of the book is a very fine and
striking likeness of the author. who is
only twenty-one years of age. He
states that the poems, for the most
part, have been written between the
years of fifteen and twenty.
Mr.. Handling has been for some time
employed as ticket artist and window
decorator by the well known dry goods
firm of Howe & Stetson. Any one
wishing a CODY of the book can secure
it by communicating with the author
