growers. This southern port now
the Kansas producer as the Atlantic
coast cities bring the same markets tc
the producers in Ohio. There is nc
reason why, therefore, with a proper
adjustment of freight rates, that the
Kansas farmer should not receive the
same price for his products as is now
| received by the Ohio farmer.
The difference in the value of farm
products in different parts of our own
state affords an interesting study.
Take two stations on the same line of
road. both equally distant from WITCH
tia, one northeast, and the other north
west These stations are practically
! the same distance via Wichita TO Cal
weston, yet corn is today worth 49,
| cents per bushel more at the first point
| than it is at the second. This makes a
! difference in favor of the farmer in
the eastern part Of the state, as com
pared with his neighbor no further re
moved from the market of at least
S1.50 per acre in the value of their re-
spective productions.
Was Wichita made basing point,
the farmers in central and western
Kansas would be placed on an equal
footing as to values with his fellow
producer who is now more favorably
situated as to rates. The value OF
land is measured by the value Of what
it produces Increase the value of the
product and you increase the value Of
the land in the same proportion. Two
principal factors enter into the cost Of
an article: First, the cost Of its prOduc-
ton; second, the cost of the tranSpor-
tation of this article to its point of
consumption. Cheaper either factor
and you add to the profit of the produc-
er. How many farmers or even busi-
ness men stop 10 consider the fact that
the value of their lands is more vitality
affected by the cost of the transporta-
ton of the products Of these same
lands than by any other one thing.
With the proper adjustment of freight
rates the farm lands Of three-fourths
of the state of Kansas would be worth
So per acre more than they are today.
We would not take any honor from
Kansas City. She has her legitimate |
trade and her legitimate territory, but |
while this is true we cannot see any |
logical reason why the Kansas farm |
ers shall be compelled TO continue to |
go to that city to start to market with |
his grain, which is really the condition
of things today. It is not that we
think less of Kansas City than we did
when she was our only outlet, but that
we think more of the interest OF our
own great state; and for the best in
tereSts of our own producers, it is
necessary that we have the cheapest
possible pro-rates over the shortest
possible route to water, and that
without any reference to what Kan
sas City may wish or demand to the
contrary.

TIE SAME OLD MISTAKE.

With Carlisle's failure to carry Ken
lucky for his gold-bug boss, goes his
chances also as a candidacy for the pres
idency. This leads us to observe that
had Mr.. Carlisle remained in the Unit
ed States senate, and represented his
constituency and his own lifelong
principles on the money question, sup
porting and fighting for the dollars of
the GaddieS, or had he as secretary of
the treasury proceeded TO pay out sill
yer, saying ''here is your money, take
it," and not allowed Grover Cleveland
10 call him down, or otherwise resign
ed or allowed himself to be removed
rather than go back on his principles,
and those of his constituency he, today.
would be the logical candidate of the
Democratic party of his country, the
same as Mckinley is the logical can
didate of the Republican party. With
the solid south and the silver west,
who can tell but that Mr.. Carlisle
would have been the next president of
the United States. But an over wean-
ing ambition on the part of himself
and family-has disSipated his chances
and leaves him stranded and history
will write his last days as his worst
days, and himself failure despite the
fact of his previous services in con-
gress as an honored and useful legis-

NO SHORT CUT IN DIVORCE.

This thing Of running TO Oklahoma
for a divorce in thirty days will now
stop. The divorce mill has been sever
ing marriage ties at a lively rate in
that territory. A few days residence
entitled an applicant TO recognition in
the territorial courts and, unless a
contest was made, it was an easy mat
ter TO obtain divorce. People focked
to the territory from all over the United
States for the purpose of getting rid
of the marriage bonds in the easiest
manner possible.
There is to be no short cut 10 divorces
at least so far as the territories are
concerned. Congress has passed an
act which the president has signed pro-
viding that a residence of a year in q
territory shall be necessary ere all
applicant can obtain a divorce in the
territorial courts. There ought 30 be
uniform marriage and divorce laws in
all the states and territories. The
laws are too extreme in both directions
probably. The chances are that Okla
homa as a state will hardly pass as
liberal or loose a divorce law as the
one now superseded by United States
statute

WITHOUT ANY BARK.

The Topeka Capital tries to defend its
town against the charges made by the
Journal, but it makes a sorry failure. 81 I
practically admits the most serious of
them, and remarks in a pitiful kind of
way that it is hard task 10 defend ones
own hospitality. There is no doubt about
it-such hospitality as Topeka extends to
conventions. anyway. There is no de-
Tense to be made for II. The Capital says
that it has paid no attention heretofore
to complaints of the kind Neither has its
city. II both had given a little heed TO
them, the town would not be IN such bad
repute as a convention city. ASIAN illus
tration, 1t may be recalled that the hot,
suffocating, miserable pen where the con-
vention was held two years ago was deco
rated with flags. bunting and pictures
After II was over bill was presented TO
the central committee and paid, for those
decorations. A hundred instances Of the
kind might be mentioned. But let the
Capital understand that criticisms of such
actions are made in the best spirit. We
trust that Topeka will reform. II IT does

now that it is going to lose the best con-
venuons in the future.-Lawrence Journal

TOPEKA NOT IN 1T.

The kiss so thoughtlessly tossed on
pink finger tips, from the rosy lips OF
Miss Ashcroft, at the Fawcett pair,
glanced around the world The sur
mise Of the Topeka Mail and Breeze
that the fair girl is either ancient or
homely, because it so hurt the male ac-
cidently hit, is entirely gratuitOus and
wide of the mark Miss A. is not only
youthful and very bright, but as limo
cent as she is beautiful. No doubt the
average Topeka man would hoof it
across quarter section for the chance
or taking such a redolent missive on
the fly, for they do say that the oscula-
tons of the average Topeka girl smells
of hash. The challenge for the Eagle,
therefore, to point out a Topeka man
who would be mean enough TO kick if
some Wichita lass should shy a kiss at
him does not amount to so much as
hypothecated conjecture. In the mean
time the soft salute Of our pretty vic
tins of miscalculated confidence goes
fitting from cline to cline in tantaliz-
Ing wings, woOing the wits of all news
paperdom and beguiling the fancies of
dreamers. While Topeka may long for
such a girl there is no danger of that
town ever boasting a man, married or
single, so innocently bashful as TO be
found appealing to the strong arm of
the law for protection against the on
slaught Of a petite girl whose missiles
were no deadlier than soft kisses
thrown at long range.

A NEW SILVER SENATOR.

Hon. Stephen d. McEnery, who has
been elected to succeed Hon. n. c.
Blanchard as United States senator
from Louisiana, will fill the position
with credit to himself and with benefit
to the state. Mr. McEnery was not a
candidate for the senatorship, being
quite well satisfied with his present
position on the supreme court bench,
but there was deadlock between the
adherents of Senator Blanchard and
MesSrs Denegre and Price, all popular
and able Democrats, and the selection
of Mr.. McEnery seems to have been a
compromise. Mr.. McEnery is an out

he CONFESSES AT LAST.

The president has confessed. He
admit the truth, the truth which has
been known to him but which he has
practically denied in a state paper, over
his own name.
In his veto message, wherein he gives
his reasons for not approving the river
and harbor bill, and which was read
in congress, the president says:
am convinced that the bill now I'M
der consideration opens the way to in
sidious and increasing abuses, and is
in itself so extravagant as to be espec-
tally unsu!ted to these times of de-
pressed business and resulting disap-
pointment in government revenue.
The president admits that these"
are times of depressed business" and
consequently of resulting disappoint-
ment in government revenue" Only a
brief while ago the president in an
other message, drew a very agreeable
and hopeful picture of 'these times"
remarking by way OF encouragement
that there was "a comfortable surplus"

was got by the sale OF Understanding
