Chester L. Long voted recently for
the refunding of the Pacific railroads
debt. In other words he voted to
give the roads eighty years more in
which to pay the government the
money they owe. Many millionaires
have been made by this road still
they want eighty years more to reim-
burse the government for the loan
ofitS capital, and our Chester was
willing they should have it. 1t will
be remembered that last summer
the VOICE printed kilograms from
Washington saying that an arrange.
ment had been made whereby the
funding bill was to be reported
favorablf and then go over to the
short session for action. In the
short session there are always a lot
OF fellows whose term expires March
4th and who, like Chester l. Long
never expect to get back again and
can therefore be had cheaper" and
more certainly than if they had a
promise of a future career. The bill
failed to pass, however, but il was
no fault of Chester's.

whether they ever had a desire to
NIL an office or not, this practice of
nepotiSm is calculated 10 arouse in
them a sense of injustice, which,
since we are all human, will lead to
a waning Of their interest in the final
triumph OF our cause. One who is
chosen to a principal position ought
to realize that this place is sufficient
for his family and that the subordi.
nate positions under him belong not
to him but to the people who made
him principal. There are some
instances where private secretary
might be considered personal to the
principal and the selection of rela-
tive entirely excusable, but this
wholesale practice of the appoint
ment ofrelatives to subordinate posi-.
tons is all wrong, and will no doubt
result in declaration against it at
the next state convention. The res.
olution which was introduced at Abb.
lene on this subject should have
been passed.

the legislators of the upper house.
The bill provides that if all evidences
OF Indebtedness are not listed and
stamped, and taxes paid thereon, such

The Western Union telegraph
company is making a hard fight
against the passage of a bill, now un-
der consideration by the senate com.
mite on corporations, which provides
for a reduction in telegraph rates 10
this state. The representatives of
the telegraph company had hearing
before the committee Saturday after.
noon, and have requested a further
hearing before the bill is passed upon
and recommended to the senate. The
plea made by the representatives of
the telegraph company is that the
company is under big expense in this
state, and that the volume of business
is not sufficient to be profitable. The
bill now being considered reduces the
cost of sending messages between all
points in the state from 25 cents to Is
cents for the first ten words, and
places the charge after that number
at one cent per word. A bill reducing
telegraph charges will be recommend
ed by the committee for passage, but
the rate for the first ten words may
be fixed at 20 cents instead of fifteen
cents.

terday morning over the Santa Fe.
They were escorted around the city
that morning by the real estate men,

pose Of making large investments.
They are more than favOrably pleased
with Kansas, especially Sumner coun-

which if successful, will be the larry

real estate circles for years. The tide
has evidently turned toward Kansas

EvADlNo THE TARIFF.

The Tucson "Star'' chuckles
over the manner in which cattle
are being struggled into the
United States from across the
Mexican frontier and gives the
following instance:
1t appears that the new law
provides for a duty of $3.75 on
cows and So for sucking calves.
A bunch of about three humid
red cattle were passed not long
since among which there were
eighty-two calves. After they
were beyond the jurisdiction Of
the customs officer it was dis
covered there were but two cows
to mother the eighty-two sucking
calves, the remainder of the herd
being steers, which would indi-
cate degree af Mexican patriot
ism in the Mexican COW never
before equaled. Forty lone cal
YES each are big calf families,
which, however, is only another
practical illustration of the Won
derful productive results of the
Dingley Tariff bill. Even for
eign cattle are conspiring to defeat
its provisions,
The livestock schedule of the
Dingley bill was framed for the
benefit of American cattle raisers,
and if the ranchmen of the south
west permit its evasion as the re-
suit of its lax and inefficient ex-
ecution by the custom officers on
the border they have only them
selves to blame. The test of any
law is the manner of its enforce
ment. 1t may take some time to
eradicate the systematic under
valuations growing out of the
looseness with which our customs
laws have been enforced in the
past few years of Free trade, but

WHAT IS TIT

course it is conceded that
influences outside of the McKin-
ley Administration have had much
to do with the era of prosperity
that was inaugurated on the fourth
of March. There was the famine
in India, but as India was too poor
to buy anything, not even a
bushel of wheat from this country,
we don't see much connection be-
tween the famine in India and
prosperity in the United States.
There is the war in Cuba, but as
that only prevented the people of
this country from spending more
money in Cuba, we cannot see
how that helped out very much.
In other countries things are
about as usual, so they have
changed nothing. What is it
then that has set the factories and
mills to running, almost doubled
the commerce of the country, put
railroads upon their feet, sent up
wool and corn and wheat. Made
chickens and pork more valuable.
Put work in the hands of thous-
ands of willing workmen, and
made the face of the country to
smile with gladness? What are
these outside influences? We
can think of nothing save Growers

closes with a fairly good demand.
Foreign markets continue strong
and everything about the situa :

piled, but they are not allowing
desirable lots to slip out of their

is considerable speculation among
dealers, most of whom are buy

JUDGE Stewart never misses an
opportunity to get the better of
an attorney, when by doing so
the dignity of his position is not

NOTICES Of election of road
overseers have been posted and
preparations are being made for
such election on the first Monday
in December. AS we under
stand the law this is all unneces-
sary. In the first place the law
of 1897 providing for the cleo
ton of overseers does not effect
the right of the commissioners to
declare sparcely settled districts,
contract districts. In 1893 all
road districts in this country were
declared contract districts and it
will be necessary for the county
commissioners to repeal this order
before the people can go ahead
and elect overseers. The con-
tracts now in existence do not ex-
pire until July, 1893, and if the
commissioners desire to make the
change they have no power to do
so until the expiration of such
contracts. We do not appre-
bend, however, that the commits
sioners have any notion of declar-
ing our road districts non con-
tract districts as people in all par
ties who are well informed on the
condition of our roads and the
expense of maintaining the same,
agree that by the contract sys-
tenn the county saves several
thousand dollars every year. The
act passed by the legislature in
1897 only changes the mode of
choosing road overseers from APP
pointive to elective and has no eff
feet on any other portion of the
old law. However, in case over
seers are elected and qualified,
where they are to draw their pay
from is a question not yet settled
by the court. The fee bill, where
in provision was made for COM
pensation of overseers under the
law of 1897, has been decided
unconstitutional. AS the law
now stands it provides for the
election of oversecrs, but no
where is there any provision for
compensation of such officials I'M
less the old law providing for
compensation for appointed Off
Gals would apply.
