CLAIMS TOO MUCH.

The Topeka Capital complaisantly re

from that papers original efforts IL

Topeka in 1883, and later Galveston as
a port for Kansas grains. Ii the es,

of Galveston, Wichita and Denver gen
tlemen had organized just such move
ment prior to that date We would not
rob our cotemporary Of any credit due
st or of any results Of its good work,
but the Capital was not a factor in the
original enterprise. The Eagle seven
wears before the Capital had an exist
ence or was dreamed of, not only
advanced such idea but pre-
rlicted that the time would come when
all the grain OF the Trans-Missouri de-
signed for export would be consigned
directly to Galveston for shipment
abroad. The Eagle along in the

WAY scheme was the same notion. The
promoters Of the NJ, X. and L. railway
were inspired by like conviction. The
Santa Fe management, under Strong,
was impelled to acquire Gulf connec-
ton from the same conclusion. As
freight. Ike water. runs cheapest down
hill. the Eagle acknowledges that it
originally cabbaged its idea from the
Almighty, in that He ran the Missis-
sippi river down into the Gulf instead
of across the Allegheny mountains in
to the Atlantic, everybody seeing that
the effort TO run western waters into the
Atlantic had necesSitated a fall Of such
magnitude in the Niagara river as TO
prove complete bar TO navigation. The
Capital is a smart and enterprising pa

no doubt was n big thing in the way Of
an after-thouSht, or as an incentive to
the utilization Of means already ac-
quired and provided but the country
had been made and the bounds of the
Gulf fixed, long time anterior to the
opening of the Capitals eyes to the ad-

ANOTHER RIGHT CONCEDED.

Woman is acquiring her inalienable
so surely as TO set all doubts of her fl
nal emancipation at rest. Once in the
possession Of all that pertains to her
as mans equal in all things will come
the test of superiority. A Kansas court
has decided one more point in her be-
half, yielded another additional right.
The decision is to the effect that any
woman may sit on her own porch or
at her own window, in any attire she
chooses so long as she has some cloth
ing on. The decision grew out of q
suit wherein a woman complained OF
her neighbor and had her arrested be-
cause she persistently sat upon her back
porch during the hot evenings of July
with nothing on but a corset and a very
brief undergarment, and not only that,
but that she dangled her feet over the
arm of her chair. This last fact is Of

six years awo last fall the Democratic
stump speakers all over the United States
were announcing the protective tariff i'm
posed on tin plate. and were loudly pro-
claiming that there never would be Tin
plate factory established IN the United
States. Today the tin plate factories IN
the Urited States are capable Of supply
Ing the entire demand Of this country.
and ali the tin plate now imported IS that
which is 10 be used IN making cans which
are to be exported. and thus have the
datg rebated. Were Il not for the rebate
paid on canned goods exported. not a
pound Of foreign tn plate would be used
in this country today.
Not only this. but carload OF Indiana
Tin plate has been shipped to Italy, and
an English order is being filled by the
same factory. This latter unexpected re-
suit IS due to the fact that iron is now
cheaper IN this country than In England.
Had Il not been for the protection ex-
tended by the tariff act OF 1880 it IS
doubtful whether the tin plate Industry
would ever have been established in this
country. Certainly 7; never would have
reached It's present proportions had il not
been for that act. This industry Is a
standing proof ot the good results which
have followed from the protective tariff.
