IT is A MONEY MOVE.

That prince of pulpit blatherskites,
the Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, appeals TO
the United States senate to r;.ify the
late arbitration treaty proposed be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain. declaring it to be the grandest thing
Of centuries. the browning victory of all
civilization. Such grandiloquence is not
more absurd than uutruthful. The
money powers, trusts and interests had
more to do with bringing that treaty
about than any spirit of Christianity or
peace on earth sentiment of the Brit
ain and American. International money
lending is one of the strongest of latter
nay business developments and interna-
tional money loaning is much safer in
times of peace and more secure under
uuarrels settled by arbitration than in
and by war Arbitration always pro-
not prevent war. 1t is only expected 10
emphasize peace and 10 make war less
Liable over mere questions involving ter

A MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATE

Two bills have been introduced in the
Kansas legislature looking TO the regu-
.ation of railroad freight rates, which
are designated as maximum freight
rate" bills. They are bills above whose
schedule figures no road must go in its
local or state hauls. One of the bills,
however, provides that every railroad
shall have tie opportunity to earn T.
per cent on its actual investment, or
something of the kind, as determined
bv its returned taxable valuation.
There is some considerable adverse
criticisms TO both bills. The trouble
with all state railway freight legisla-
ton is found in the fact that such a
small per cent of the total traffic is state
traffic. A competent commission, cloth
ed with judicial powers, ready at all
times to hear and act, would prove the
most effective and satisfactory. One
of the bills is in effect the Iowa law,
which has not worked well so far as
the interests of that state at large are
concerned. Unquestionably the Iowa
law has proved advantageous to the
few. The Lawrence Journal refers TO
the measures in this way:
1.-THE Pops of the state are almost
unanimously of the opinion that they
want the Iowa railroad law or some
thing better for this state. The Jour
nal makes the humble suggestion that
they find something better if they are
determined to have change. Iowa
farmers pay 10 cents hundred
freight on wheat from Des Moines to
Chicago under the Iowa law. Under
the Kansas law the farmers pay 20
cents hundred from Topeka to Chi
cago and Topeka is 16S miles further
from Chicago than Des Moines is. The
Pop legislators and the Kansas farmers
may think they want the Iowa law, but
they don't"

M. nj. MURDOCH, Editor.
OUR NEW q. S. SENATOR.


Time evens up all things, it is said.
1t levels down majorities and elevates
minorities. Sooner or later the laurel
crown which bedecks the brow of AFRO
gance is found ground into the dust be-
meath the shadow of merits victorious
banner. Again, in turn, worth is wreck
ed and virtue crucified.
Kansas was founded upon the single
Idea of personal freedom, by men who
in hating conservatism believed that IN
Republican progression there would
come to Kansas such a type of free and
exalted civilization as would attract the
world. The theme has become obsolete,
and its defenders are dead. The very
names of its apostles are execrated as
fanatics and representative enemy is
crowned with her highest honor. A
man who ieopardized his fortune and
chances Of life on the battle-fields OF his
country in defense of the principle for
by Kansas, to give place to one who
risked his all to defeat the Kansas idea
In his defeat ne found his greatest pos
sible victory, and at the hands of those
he hated. The successor of long line
of illustrious Republican United States
senators from Kansas is an ex-Confed-
crate Democrat.
But the whirligig Of Time still con-
tinues to vhirl and gig, and the mills OF
the gods. if little slow, still to grind.
Topeka, which has always had a con-
gresham, and for part of the time two
United States senators, gets left, as was
Atchison, and now LeavenwOrth has
two United States senators. Wichita,
which never had a congressman or
United States senator, after years or
promises broken by Republican stale
officials, gets now at the hands of the
crowd who cares nothing for what Kan
eas was, or what she hoped 10 be,
state railway commissioner. The gig,
the whirl and the grind Of it all, i'll so
far as the commissionership is concern
ed. is not without its consolation. John
Brown may have been insane; Jim
Lane a fanatic; Pomeroy, ingalls,,
Plumb, demagogues, and the rest of us
but their servitors and fools, yet there
was in it all the exultation Of the ideal.
Kansas was the political cynosure OF
great nation. What is she now?
Time has indeed turned Kansas down
and under, but the glittering record of
its golden youth cannot be either obiit-
Grated or effaced. Her general assem-
States senate, one who will cast his
vote and influence with those who have
always persistently antagOnized every
conviction of her founders: her people
have elected as their governor one who
knows more of Egypt that he does OF
the Kansas Nile, more of Grub street
than he does of Douglas avenue; chos-
en- a legislature whose inspira ton is to
crush out rather than 10 build up; and
q supreme court whose chief justice
holds that the right of property is a
usurpation. consequently all earnings
but theft.
Time, with its whirligig, in turning
the past, with all its triumphs, down;
and the present, with all its consisten-
cies, up, will no doubt yet twist the in
sides Of Kansas out as anything would
be preferable to its present outside.

AS it is often difficult to dispose of
scraps of beef that are left over from
the various meals, perhaps some new
ways may be welcomed. Chop the
scraps very fine, and to every cupful
of the meat add two cupfuls of cab
bage, cut very fine; one tablespoon
full of celery seed, a teaspoonful Of
salt, two of sugar; mix and add any
good salad dressing. This delicious
salad can scarcely be detected from
chicken and is much cheaper.
Another method is to cut the
scraps very fine, aiding two well-beat-
en- eggs, pinch of salt and a cupful
of mashed potatoes. Mix and mold
into cakes and roll in -four. Have a
tablespoonful of good lard heated
very hot in frying-pan, in which
place the cakes, and fry rich
brown, adding more lard if neces
sary.

For the Table.

Sweet pickles, olives and capers,
minced very fine, is an excellent sea-
soning for a salad dressing.
When boiling chickens for salad or
pressed loaf, put in quarter of
pound of good salt pork, it is an ex-
cellent seasoning. Let chicken cool
in the water.
Put sugar in the water used for
basting meats of all kinds; it gives
good flavor, to veal more especially.
To give a fine flavor to cornbeef
hash, use good soup stock for moist
ening, with pinch of salt, sugar and
cayenne.
Three tablespoons of freshly mad,
Japan tea, with a bit of nutmeg, give
an indescribable flavor to apple pie.
Baked beans can be greatly i'm
proved by adding cup of sweet
cream the last hour of baking.
When making tomato soup, add
raw cucumber sliced fine, boil soft
and strain with tomato. It gives a
seasoning quite taking.
Make snow cake with arrowroot
-four; the flavor is delicious.
When boiling ham, put in a cup Of
black molasses, one onion. a few
cloves and pepper-corns, adding a
bunch of hay; it seasons finely. Lee
the ham cool in the water.
One way to use up cold boiled ham
is to mince it finely and sprinkle it
over dish of boiled macaroni.
