KANSAS CITY Is ALL RIGHT.

Kansas City newspapers have this
year given Topeka the glad hand"
concerning her Fall Festival. In spite
of supposed tiffs, so-called snubs and
all that. there really isn't the least
feeling between the big city on the
Kansas border and the capital of Kan
sas. Topeka likes Kansas City; this
is proved by the fact that hundreds of
our people go there every day and on
public occasions thousands of them.
Kansas City likes Topeka, and every
says good things about US.
But particularly have the Kan
sas City newspapers been generous
with their notices of the Fall Festival
this year. They have devoted columns
of their space to the various features
of the Festival, all of which was in the
nature of free advertising.
Topeka never coldly receives such
Kindness as this. We appreciate it,
and we see no reason why big Kansas
City should not be taken into the sis
terhood of Kansas cities that has been
forming this summer.
Next week Kansas City's Fall Fes-
tivities begin and while Topeka has al
ways sent from 5000 to 5000 people to
attend them, it would be good thing

more largely and heartily than ever.
There are hundreds of Kansas City
people in Topeka this week, mostly
railroad men of course, but thorough
representatives of Kansas City. Kan
sas City packing houses as well as 9TH
er businesses contributed handsome
sums to our Fail Festival fund. We
want more of them to do as well. The
Swift Packing company, Armours and
others gave a vast quantity of their
choicest meats to Topeka's butchers
and grocers' picnic. Kansas City is not
niggardly. The people there are just
as hospitable and good hearted as they
are anywhere. Thousands of them are
former Kansans. Friendliness between
the two cities ought to be encouraged.

Route to Mexico


New York, Sept. 30.-Captain Porfirio
Diaz, Jr., only son of President Diaz of
Mexico, arrived on the French steamer
La Champagne, from Havre. He had
been abroad for year. During part of
the time he studied engineering with the
firm of Sir William Pearson & Son in
Londan. He holds captaincy in Mexico's
corps of military engineers, and returns
home to resume his duties.
Captain Diaz is "A years old, of medium
height, slim, and has a small blonde mus
tache. He was dressed in a gray frock
suit and wore silk hat when he landed
from the steamship. He was met at the
pier by Antonio Leon-Grajeda, chancellor
of the Mexican consulate in this city.
Captain Diaz went to the Fifth Avenue
era1 friends in the Waldorf.
Captain Diaz's return home is not the
result of the attack which was made up
on his father by Arroyo. He learned of
the affair and of the killing of Arroyo
while he was in Paris. Captain Diaz re-
ceived a cable message from his father
before he left Paris that he had suffered
no injury. and telling his son not to
worry over the matter.
The son is sorry that the affair occurred,
but says that he does not attach much
importance to it. He declared that he was
already preparing to return home when
the news of the attack upon his father
reached him

His pockets were stuffed with bills, and
he habitually carried a satchel which
contained from $50. 900. to $50 900 in
greenbacks. His house was one of the
wonders of the neighborhood.
Here he caroused with a set of fast
companions. His stables were full of
fine horses, which he shot in fits of
caprice. When the mood seized him he
burned the contents of his dwelling.
Finally the house itself went up in one
grand confagration. Then he disap-
peared again.
HIS whereabouts were unknown until
he walked into Lowell a few days ago

COURTS WILL DECIDE.
Negro Children Take Their Books
From White Schools.

Alton, Sept. 30.-The colored people
resorted to new tactics in the race war
at the Alton schools today. They sent
their children to the schools and asked
for their books, which they had left in
their desks when the police elected
them from the buildings. The books
were handed out, and the children took
them home. They will not divulge their
motive in doing this, but it is supposed
that they have determined to keep
away from school altogether until the
controversy is settled in the courts.
The application for mandamuS was
made in the federal courts at Spring.

groes filed a bill, alleging that the col
ored children of Alton are refused ad-
mittance to the public schools because
of their color, and they ask a manda-
mus, restraining the authorities from
any such exclusion.

Rock Islands Anniversary.

Yesterday was the tenth anniversary
of the completion of the Rock Island
through Kansas and the management
made proposition to join with the Santa
Fe in the celebration.
Mr.. Frey, general manager of the Santa
Fe was compelled to decline, the prep
arations to devote the day exclusively to
the Santa Fe were too well under way to
submit to changes. However, the Rock
Island was generous to the Santa Fe and
had the office building and depot gaily
decorated and greeted each division and

RETURNING FROM LIBERIA.
Condition of Colored Emigrants Re-
ported as Being Most Pitiable.

Liverpool, Sept. 30.-Bartley Waite
and five children and G. w. Farmer and
wife, all colored, who belong to a party
of 315 emigrantS who left Savannah for
Liberia by the steamer Labrador in
March, 1896, have just arrived here
from Liberia. The Farmers are desti-
tute, and the Waites have only enough
money to enable them to reach the
United States. All the adult members
of the party describe the condition of
those whom they have left in Liberia
as being most pitiable. They say the
land promised them by the Liberia
agents in the United States turned out
to be absolutely no good. They assert
that more than half the Labradors
party are dead, and that the rest of
them are trying to reach the United
States.
The Waites and Farmers say, in con-
clusion, that the Liberian government
did nothing for them, and that the eli
mate of the republic of Liberia is most
unhealthy.

Judge Elliott's accession to the bench, only fifteen cases have been found to be correctly adjudged by His Honor, Judge Elliott? Were the entire five members of the Su- preme Court preiudiced either for or against the lawyers of Pine Bluff Surely the Press Eagle will not say this. Yet true, true as gospel, it is fact, one that we defy contradie= tion of, for the Supreme Court reports so state it, true beyond peradventure, that out of .fofty-oae cases since Judge Elliott has been npon the bench, only .fftee1 cases have been affirmed, Will the Press Eagle (save, perhaps, one exception), point to the books of such a prece- dent, of such a fact against any Circuit Judge who ever sat upon a bench in this State? Does the Press Eagle call man competent judge when the Supreme Court declares to the contrary by affirming only fifteen of his cases out of forty-one?"
 Tn the Commercial of June IA, 1894, we also find this challenge:
 tThe above contains some very serious charges against the political faith of Judge John M. Elliott. The Press Eagle intimates (9 that he is Democrat. The Commercial makes counter charge upon his Democra- cy.
 ''The Press Eagle claims to be a friend Of Judge Elliott's candidacy. Can you not, then. neighbor, induce Judge Elliott to put card over his own signaturein the very next issue of your paper, denying as follows:
 First. That he was nominated by the Republicans four years age for Circuit Judge.
 Second. That Alfred Wiley, 8 Republican, was not a candidate fol the nomination against him before this same Republican convention.
 Third. That he dld not in per son appear before that Republican convention and make a speech thanking them for the nomination.
 ''Fourth. That he did not, as charged, meet the Republicans at the Court House (while the Demo crats were assembled over the Citi- zens Bank and read to the Republi- cans the press dispatches, showing Cleveland's defeat by Harrison.
 It might be well, neighbor, te have him deny the truth of the charges, and then, you know, if the Commercial cannot publish affidavits showing these charges to be true, il will owe you or Judge Elliott, as the case may be, an apology"
 The above excerpts are taken ver batim from the Commercial Tc slightly pharaphrase Editor New mans own language, we beg tt close by saying: And had we done sucf a deed, we should have expected tc have been not only fined, but i'm prisoned or hung, and surely oul neighbor, unless he is actuated by motives unworthy the higher an( more ennobling aims of elevatins journalism, will speedily make repa ration; restitution is impossible

~ t"s
 The Haily Commerical, in an edi- torial in it's issue of the l7th inst, commenting on interviews with cer- tain lawyers relative to the G'lphic's s criticism of one of Judge Elliotts recent decisions, closes it's editorial with the following paragraph:
 s'And had we done such a deed, we should have expected to have not only been fined, but imprisoned, and surely our neighbor, unless he is actuated by motives unworthy the higher and more ennobling aims of elevating journalism, will speedi- ly make reparation; restitution IS impossible.
 But the Commercial has not always been so considerate of the Judge. Semi-occasionally it bursts forth in indignation at some public officer and hurls its darts at him. But these are only semi-occasional. As usual thing it is content to get on the opposite side to the Graphic and lawn upon and fatter those whom the Graplie takes to task, for reasons that will be readily apparent.
 In 1894 Judge Elliott was a candi- date for reelection. He was op- posed during part of the campaign by MT. W. T. Woodbridge, whom the Commercial supported. At that time the Commercial was charging Judge Elliott with being a Republi- can, and in view of his many rever- sals by the Supreme Court, with in competency.
 Over these charges a discussion took place between the Press-Ea9lt aud Commercial, the former support ing Judge Elliott and the latter op- posing him.
 The following excerpt is made from an editorial which appeared in the Daily Commercial on June 20 1894, in reply to the Press-Eagle:
 ''The Press Eagle cannot deny, as we have charged, that out of 4 cases the Supreme Court has sal down on him (EliotD hard in every one but b. You must permit us tC say in plain words that bragging or man will not take care of hi' record when assailed, especially when the man or his newspaper ad yocate will net deny charges whicl are printed and go to the yer. foundation of one's Democracy.
 We also find the following edito rial in the Daily Commercial of Jun, 19, 1894:
 The pitifal, ftful. pleading plei of the esteemed Press Eogle thi morning for Judge Elliott is trul, heart-rending. It will be answeret as soon as we can get our breath for we are certainly amazed. A present we only wonder at the as tonishing statement of our consem porary, that it attributes the oppo sition to Judge Elicit upon th' lawyers who oppose him, on th' ground that the decisions made b, him which were affirmed by th' Supreme Court.
