 LENGTH

Sun Rises at 6 O'clock This Morning
 and Will Set at To-Night-A Pecu-
 liar Phenomenon.
 To-day the sun rises at o'clock and sets at o'clock, thereby making the day and night of equal length.
 Early risers and late homers yester- day morning were treated to a light fall of snow, sufficient to whiten the pavements and streets, with the moon and stars brightly shining and no clouds in sight. About 4:30 yesterday morn ing the moon presented a peculiar and unusually beautiful aspect. Streaming from the upper edge to the zenith was a broad ray or band of bright golden light, while like rays shot from the lower edge and were lost below the horizon, all forming beautiful pie ture.

JACK RABBIT PHILANTHROPY.
A Hunt i'm Kansas for the Benefit of
New YOrk's Poor,

| Topeka Special to the New York World
/ The idea of having jack-rabbit drive on
the prairies of Kansas for the benefit of
| the poor in New York city was conceived
| by Gov. John w. Leedy. The governor has
not much use for New York, and never
| negiects an opportunity to retaliate for
abuse of Kansas coming from that CITY,
The Jack-rabbit-drive scheme was devised
after the governor had received an anony-
nous letter from New York signed Cato"
who referred to the vote of Kansas for free
silver and added:
In other words, majority of your popu-
lation voted to swindle their creditors. No
state with majority of decent, self-re-
sPeeting people would have elected a man
OIL your stamp as governor / can well
inter that you are good enough for Kansas
You people are like the frog in the fable
and as dishonest as Ignorant
Il am going to teach New York lesson"
Gov. Leedy said to Private Secretary Ed.
Little. L propose to hold New York I'D to
the scorn aid contempt of the country"
Gov. Leedy communicated his plan to
other populists, and they regarded it as
good thing. The raj bits captured are to be
! shipped to New York in freight cars each
car labeled with a horrible tale of the suf-
1er1ngs In the national metropolis 1t is
DelleVec the bounty the law permits county
commissioners to pay for rabbit scalps
will be sufficient to pay the freight on the
entire lot. Gov. Leedy's idea is to send
whole trainload, but hunters say it would
not be possible to capture that many.
or course" said Gov. Leedy, I'VE won't
De able to appease all the hunger of New
YORK, but II We can only give a few thous-
and or New York's cast-off children
square meal for Christmas 1t will help
some. Kansas, with her abundant harvest
can spare New York her jack-rabbits. and
have plenty besides to support the waits
which New York sends here every year to
be cared for and educated by the people
she traduces. God will bless Kansas for
relieving SO far as possible the pauperism
of New York and will damn New York for
making pauperism possible"
The populfst papers have taken up the
rabbit-drive scheme, and are advocating
1t seriously as a means OF revenge upon
New York for the mean things which New
Workers have said about Kansas

judgment of public opinion will no longer
ceuntenance 1t, and by popular voice show
its abuses and inadequacy, for in times of
epidemics, where men of calmness and in
telligence under ordinary circumstances
become wild with excitement, and lose
their Judgment, and when men of weaker
natures become panic-stricken, fanatics
and cruel, and life. health and commerce
are sacrificed, it is indeed high time that
the great majority Of the people should call
halt on the further progress of this five
headed demon, and the government be APP
pealed to to take entire control of this
quarantine question, under the U. S. ma
rine hospital service, and the other four
should be wiped out Of existence.
Then, besides this, the localities that
may be afflicted are saved an enormous
expense, and the people of Maine and Min
nesota are contributing their pro rata share
the Rame as Mississippi and Louisiana; but
this is true reciprocity, for if business
thrives in the south, the north, west and
east Indirectly feel it's effects, and uiti-
mately reap the benefits
