The opening Of the Pittsburg 4
Gull railroad from Kansas City to
Port Arthur is Of great Importance to
the West. II means a great deal TO
this state. The future outlet OF the
products Of the plains Of Kansas and
Nebraska is to the south. The roads
that are helping this are to be hon
ored for it. They will reap their
reward. What is needed just now is
a road that is strong enough to give
the same rates to the south that are
given for like distance to the east
Then there would not be corn wasted
and cattle lacking food in Texas. The
Gulf outlet is the coming business
helper Of the prairies and the new
line will do great deal to bring it tc
its full development.

the work of the past and make their

Populism comes pretty high this
year. The Legislature has not only
been great waster Of time but it has
made the peoples money fly. The
two houses have PIG persons employ
ed in various capacities to wait on
the 1866 members and this notwith-
standing that no enrolling force is
now employed, the enrolling Of bills
being done by the state printer, thus
cutting off about forty employed
heretofore necessarily. The extrav-
agance surrounding this legislature
is the talk Of everybody in Topeka.
Clerks are hired for committees at an
expense Of $6 per day who have never
had bill in their possession, and
who have nothing to do but sit
around in the lobby and draw their
pay. Places have been made for rel
atives Of members right and left, and
with an utter disregard for expense.

Judge Doster's Opinion.

tits almost pitiful. the condition
in which the Populists find them
selves. After seven years Of groan-
ing and effort they have elected an
administration which Is a disgrace to
the state and notorious for Its cor
ruption and uselessness. This Is
what their own Chief Justice Doster
said Of the legislature in an interview
the other day:
ut is strange that a set OF men who
accepted the doctrines Of Populism,
who pledged themselves to maximum
freight rate law and assured the peo-
pie that some law prohibiting usury
would be enacted could so suddenly
change their minds. These are car
dinal principles Of our fight. We
have presumed all along to be in sym
pathy with the demands OF the COM
mon people. These men in the legis-
lature were elected on the promise
and in the hope that they would bring
some relief from the avarice OF greedy
corporations and they have signally
failed. 1t is strange how they could
so soon forget--so completely reverse
faith"
This is not quite so forcible as the
expression of the Sedgwick county
Populists who sent this message to
their representative: "You legisla-
tors had better vote yourselves asses
and come home" But it Is the clear
cut opinion Of the brainiest man in
the Pop party.

Some Fool Bills.

When somebody introduced into
the legislature the other day . bill to
make the ten commandments a part
Of the statutes there was a good deal
Of laughing at this state all over the
country. But in the language Of the
street "there are Others" This seems
to be year for legislators to intro

to examine b|acksmiths; North Da-

unmarried woman who refuses an

vent women from sending towers to
criminals. Missouri wants 70 fine

women passengers and Nebraska asks
that all bells horns shallbe removed

The Populists that have been held

Postal Savings Banks Needed.

A number Of leading papers Of the
country are urging the postal savings
bank system. The losses from saw
ing bank failures have been so great
as to demand something different.
For instance in Omaha.fve years ago
six savings banks did business. All
failed but one, causing much suffer-
ing among the poor depositors. 10
those not informed on the subject 1t
will be almost startling to learn that
with the exception Of Germany, where
municipal savings banks supply the
place in all the leading cities OF the
empire, and Of Switzerland, the
United States Of America stands alone
among all the enlightened nations Of
the earth without any system OF
postal savings banks. This is, how
ever, not because OF popular opposl-i
ton to the idea in our country, but
because we have no permanent ma
tional Indebtedness upon which to
found such a system, and it has been
held that the creation Of such an in
debtedness, even for so laudable an
enterprise, would be foreign to the
genius Of our institutions--that it
would be taxing the many fer the
5eneft Of the few. This could how
ever be avoided by the taking up OF
the bonds now outstanding which
would insure a capital for many
years to come.

The Popular Douglas Shoes.

There is no shoe made for mems
wear that has attained a greater pop
ularity than the celebrated W. L.
Douglas shoe. The fact that they
combine style and quantity at low
price has given them universal endors-
ment. The manufacture Of these
shoes has made it possible for man
in the most ordinary circumstances
to Keep himself provided with foot
wear Of as good style as the market
affords-the extremely low price at
which they are sold placing them
within reach Of all.
The only cheap quality in them
however is the price; in all other re-
spects they grade as high as any shoe
in the market. Their lasting quail
ties have been fully tested and found
to be unequalled. They are not only
OF good style when new, but retain
their shape and excellent appearance
until completely worn out--a very
rare quality in even the highest
priced shoes. They are sold in Abb
lene by Bearce, the clothier, POI
Broadway, who has just received a
new invoice Of the various styles.
