To Show Kansas Products,


All the products Of sovereign Kan

exhibit to be established and main

Nelson building the first exhibit will
be made and a space 35x45 feet is
now being prepared to accommodate
this years offerings from every coun-
ty in Kansas.
The Kansas Real Estate association
Is the protector Of this first exhibit
and the idea for it came from q sug-
gestlon for a permanent exhibit here
of farm products made in The Star
soon after the successful Home Pro.
ducts show last summer. The idea
was received with much favor in
Kansas and Oklahoma anl the Kan
sss association at it's meeting in
Lesvenworth October IL, discussed
the question of an exhibition and
passed resolution That an Office
be opened in Kansas City, Mo-, and
an exhibition of the products from
each county in the state of Kansas be
kept in such Office and full informa-
ton concerning the same"
f. Jameson Of Lsavenworth, the
president of this association, in out
lining the plans of this exhibit, said
to day:

THAT RETROACTIVE CLAUSE.

1t seems the Republican members of
the senate finance committee have
reached an agreement to either strike
out the retroactive provision of the
Dingley tariff bill or to so amend it as
to pave the way for its being stricken
out in conference, and have so notified
the Democrats members of the com
mittee. It is also said the Democrats
have agreed, in view of this promise,
not to press the Vest resolution on the
subject of Secretary Cages recent cir
cular.
This all means that public sentiment,
the sense of justice and decency inner
ent in the American people. would not
countenance such an infamous thing
as the enactment of the proposed retro
active clause. Its purpose was either
to place an embargo on all imports I'M
til the Dingley bill became law, or else
to empower the government to wan
tonly confiscate the property of import
ers who had complied with every pro-
vision of the law and had paid the
government all the dues exacted by the
law 1t was one of the most infa Saous
and outrageous things ever proposed.

JOHN STUART MILLS LETTERS.

The current number of COsmopolis
begins the publication of some unpub-
lished letters of John Stuart Mill to a
French correspondent of his, NJ Gus

latter who furnishes and edits the let
tiers. Their quality is shown by this
one:
You must have observed even ~aile
you were here, although mixing Jou
did with the best class of Engiis..4nen,
how difficult it is to interest them in
anything which has not some bearing
upon what they call their advancement
in life In all countries you find men
in middle life in a great degree selfish
and worldly. but there are few coun-
tries besides this where even the young
men are, many of them, avowedly so.
In France and Germany the laughable
alterations OF sentiment and enthu-
siasm are common, the odious ones of
cOldness, and seliShness rare. In this
country the reverse is the case. Here
it requires great tact and knowledge of
society 20 enable a man to appear
deeply in earnest on any subject, with
out exposing himself to be laughed at.
and the etiquette of what is called good
society is to appear profoundly insensi-
bic to every impression, external or in

only to teach men what is right, and
they viii do it; they are uniformed,
but thew are not prejudiced, and are
DESTROYS and eager TO learn. Here the
grand difficulty is to make them desire
to learn. They have such an opinion
of their own wisdom that they do not
think they can learn; and they have
too little regard for other people TO care
much whether they learn or no, in
things which only interest the nation
in general or mankind at large. Our
middle class. moreover, have but one

THE POETS BASEBALL ARDoR.

On the diamond of green twas sunshiny
day,
And the rooters were out in their finest
array:
All the bieachers were merry and beamed
with joy.
That is brightest when seen on the face
of a boy.
Like the buds of the springtime when
A-rril is green,
Many boys with their eyes at the knot
hole were seen.
Like the leaves of the autumn as red as
hot Goals,
Were the small boys that swarmed up the
telegraph poles.
Oh. the rooter was there in his rapture
to root
And the lad with his fish horn. betootled
his foot;
And froth lit the beer like the foam of
While the peanut unroasted itself in its
glee.
There We're cheers for New York when
she slid on her face
There were plaudits for Yale when she
captured a base.
And the favorites old, woke the jubilant
shout
When they got FIRST" on balls or Sc
renely struck out.
Oh, the ball it was swotted with many
And twas caught on the fly as it flew
like a shot,
And the crowd never swarmed like the
waves of the sea
To embrace the poor umpire and kick him
care free.
Oh, the crank in his glory was loud in
his wall.
When it looked like run or a base hit
for Yale;
But he moaned in his heart that was
heavy and drear
"oh, the game is not ball when A. Rusie's
not here.'
But the season is open that lately was
shut,
And the baseball will fly till the pumpkin
is cut;
And tbs then let US hope with a joy
That New York" will we read on the big

THE CASTLE GATE ROBBERY.

Never in Utah has there been such a
daring robbery as that committed at
Castle Gate Tuesday when the cash
Ter of the coal company was robbed of
seven thousand dollars in broad day
light and by unmarked men. The deed
had all the elements of the robberies
that the James gang were famous for
1t was Oxen. it was bold. it was sue
cessful. The robbers may be caught,
the money may be recovered, but it is
not at all certain. The men are MAX
ing for part of the state that is
fairly infested with thieves and out
laws Once they gain the stronghoIds
of these people and they will be COM
paratively safe.
How can this den of outlaws that
exists in the southeastern part of the
state be cleaned out. Before they are
cleaned out it is quite probable that a
number of lives win be sacrificed. and
the lives of good men too. The nature
of the country is such that outlaws can
intrench themselves in almost any
part of it and defend themselves
against superior numbers if necessity
requires. They should be cleaned out,
though it should cost the state a large
sum.
The rewards offered by the coal COM
pany for the capture of the robbers
and the return of the money, aggre-
eating $4,000, are large and should
prove great stimulus to those who
are in pursuit of the robbers If they
come up on the robbers and they show
fight, as they almost certainly will,
their pursuers should take as few
chances as possible and should not
hesitate to kill them unless they offer
to surrender. Their capture and pun
ishment are matters in which the peo-
pie of the whole state are deeply con-
cerned. The states good name must
be preserved.

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Denver Republican,: When the new

presume that the cube root will be ex-

whiskers will be exalted above brains in
the study of physiology.

Washington uttered his warning; and the
first Pilots of the ship of state steered
away from the rocks and shoals of for

lican jingos succeed in getting US en-
tangled with Hawaii it will be a step on
pathway the nature of which is I'M
known, but the end of which cannot be

FEAST OF THE GoLDBUGs.

!
Tomorrow night there will be a great
feast of the goIdbugs in New York. The
occasion will be the dinner to be given
ex-President Cleveland by the Reform
| club. That it will be a feast of reason
and flow of soul there is every reason
to believe. How could it he otherwise
with such list of toasts as follows:
Grover Cleveland. Present Prob
lems.''

ministration'

racy"

drew Jackson and the Restoration of

Now. Mr.. Cleveland is most excel
lently we'll qualified to make oracular
utterances on present problems, hav-
ing had very much to do with the Gre
alton of some of them. For four years
he wrestled with many of them, and
having failed TO solve them, passed
them on TO his successor. 1t would have
been an imDossibility to have chosen
one who stands more aloof and apart
from the prejudices of the people than
he and, therefore, not to be swayed by
them. This will insure such a treat
ment of present problems that all the
people will lift UP their voices and
shout: Great is Grover of the Gold
bugsr'
When John G. Carlisle talks about
sound currency the people are certain
to ask: Where have we heard these
sentiments, or ones very similar to
them, before? All, yes. At Memphis
at Louisville. at Chicago. How could
we ever have forgotten them?'' When
he shall have delivered his great talk
about sound currency, it will still be
true that there is nothing new under
the sun
But that which will challenge the at
tention of the people and revive the
hopes of all and the only true patriots.
will be the talk of the Hon. William
D. Bynum on The National Democ-
racy." With that Democracy Bills
name is as indissolublv connected as
the names of Palmer and Buckner. The
National Democracy was as grain of
mustard seed, but unfortunately the
seed was sterilized. How often it would
have gathered the people, not forget
ting the loaves and fishes, under its
wings as "a hen gathers her chickens,
but they would not. And Bill was the
chief hen that wanted to spread wings

to his standard so CALAMITY fought

themselves.

object in life, TO ape their superiors, for
whom they have an open-mouthed and
pesotted admiration. attaching itself to
the bad more than TO the good points,
being those they can most easily COM
prehend or initiate. 1t is true that
those who wish to do good are here
enabled, by that esprit d'association
which YOU so much admire, TO effect
more in proportion to their numbers
than they do in France.
That view OF the English middle
classes would have met with the hearty
approval of Matthew Arnold. In fact.
the British Philistine is here better de-
scribed than Arnold himself describes
him.
The publication of these letters can
not fail to arouse a great deal of in
terest in the literary world. Some years
ago number of Mills letters were
published in the Atlantic Monthly, and
were exceedingly interesting. His I'M
published letters are probably the most
valuable unworked mine in English lit
erature today, and it is a very surpris-
ing thing that no enterprising publisher
has even undertaken to give them to
the world. No man of the century has
exercised a greater influence on En-
glish thought than he. He was a
greater man than his father or Ben

were engaged in the movement they
started He stirred I'D English intel
leetual life as few have ever done. We
know from his autobiography what his
education and political and philosophi-
cal career were. but it tells nothing
about the man himself. Could his life
be written and his letters be published,
it would be a literary event of great
Importance, and they could not fail to
be the book of the season. No one is
better fitted TO undertake this work
than Miss TAYLOR. his adopted daugh-
ter. One wonders had his grave been
in Kensel Green instead of at Avignon
he would have been, apparently, 50 long
neglected by English literary men and
publishers, so far as a life of him is
concerned.

PROTECTION OR PROHIBITIONS

The Montana Stock Growers asso-
citation has passed a resolution asking
congress to provide a protective tariff
on cattle hides. But there was diff
ference of opinion whether the tariff
on Mexican hides should be protective
or prohibitive.
This indicates that the Montana
stockmen are beginning to reason on
the question of protection. The logical
end of all protection is prohibition of
imports, and the sooner the protection
lists demand this logical prohibition of
imports the sooner will the people real
ize the iniquity of the protective sys-
TEN.
Protectionists tell the people that
protective tariff secures them the home
market by keeping foreigners out of it.
But in spite of the tariff wall the for
eigner manages to get into the home
market, and everything he sells in it
is to that extent a robbery of the
American people. If t foreigner is
absolutely prohibited from entering the
home market it is thereby secured for
our own people. Prohibition of imports
is the only logical sequence of protec-
ton. While it showers blessings down
upon the people as midsummer
cloud burst sends water down upon
them, still it has it's drawbacks. AS a
revenue getter prohibition is a failure,
can be nothing else. 1t relieves the
foreigner of the necessity ne is under
under protective tariff of paying the
tax and shifts the burden to the
shoulders of the American people. 1t
is hardly possible that any tariffite
would claim that the foreigner pays
the tax when the foreigner does not
trade with us.
The Montana protectionists are be-
coming logical. May they declare for
prohibition of importations and against
rotection

REED TO GoMPERS.

When Speaker Reed informed Presi-
dent Gompers and a delegation from
the American Federation of Labor,
! labor legislation by congress, that the
house would enact no legislation until
the tariff question was settled, and
urged the delegation to work among
the laboring men in behalf of a, senti-
ment that would bring about early
action in this important matter, he did
just right.
Congress was called in extra session to
enact tariff legislation, and not for the
purpose of putting labor legislation on
the statute books, or any other kind.
Let that for which it was called be
performed that the country may know
as soon as possible what this legisla.-
ton is to be and what effect 1T will
have on the business of the country.
That is what the people are more in
terested in than anything else. If
prosperity comes, congress and the
people will all be so good-humored
and affable that Gompers or anyone
else can get almost anything he wants
from congress.
Speaker Reed did right in saying no
legislation but that on tariff would be
enacted by congress at this session. To
attempt any other would be TO mix
things and distract attention from the
main issue. The extra session is to
give the country one thing at a time.
and if the regular sessions would do
the same it would probably be very
good thing for the people.
Gompers was unwise to ask for labor
legislation at the present time, and
Reeds reply to him will meet with
general approval. 1t seems the people
want tariff, at least so the Republicans
say, and they should be given it until
the very word nauseates them.
