that the government does not permit

writer's hands unless it is important

enormous amount of extra work. Here
is a blank that must be filled out, stat

Regulating the Railroads

The legislature has begun It's grind
on the bills that are to wook the
promised reform. Much interest
centers at present In railroad legisla-
ton, and hearing are set for two days
this week, at which representatives Of
the railroads Of the State are invited
to be present. The railroad bill
which promises to pass. II any, Is q
modification Of the Iowa law estab-
fishing local freight rates from so to
30 per cent lower than those now in
force between all points within the
State. This bill Is regarded with
much greater alarm by the railroads
than the so-called maximum-rate law
advocated in the governors message.
They claim that the Iowa law not
only has injured the farmers and
shippers generally in that state and
proven very detrimental to the rail-
road business, but has resulted in
lower prices for farm products in
Iowa than in Kansas, and it is point
ed out that rates from Iowa points to
Chicago are as high as from Kansas
points to Chicago, the latter from 100
to 200 miles further distant. In
order to compensate themselves for
their lower local charges, it is claim
ed the Iowa railroads are compelled

laundering Witticisms.

The following is an extract from
Chief Justice Doster's speech at the
Inauguration Of Kansas officials last
Monday given in the press reports
II have read somewhere, in some
book, the claim, made by some au-
thority. that every nationality Of peo-
pie have their peculiar vices. With
the English 1t is hunting, with the
Germans smoking, with the Irish get
ting drunk, and with the Americans
speeches"
Mr.. Doster must be poor student
of lreland's history to conclude that
the Irish monopolize the worldwide
vice Of getting drunk. Aside from
the bad taste Of a Judge, whose ma
jority was made up largely Of Irish
supporters, making such statement
in his "inaugural' if it were true,
Mr.. Doster foolishly subjects himself
to the charge of ignorance or false
hood. -[Iola Register.

to raise through rates to the sum Of
the locals. 1t is q fact that corn Is
selling and has been selling for some
years in Kansas at higher prices than
IN Iowa. The Populists seem re-
solved, however, to redeem their
platform pledges by a reduction Of
rates between points within the
State, and bill to this effect Is very
likely from present appearances
to pass, although the railroads assert
that its only effect must DO an ad-
vance in through rates to final
markets. Everybody knows that the
Kansas farmer sells nearly all his
grain and produce outside the State
and anybody but Populist would see
the folly of raising through rates.
But Populist would not be happy if
he were not regulating" railroads.

miring the foolish stuff written by
Bryan's wife about her husband, the
papers Of the country are for the most
part silent, although some Of Bryan's
own organs go to the extent Of de-
precating the silly rot, and it seems
to be the general opinion that Bryan
has proved himself to be what his
enemies charged during the campaign
"a very cheap demagogue. The
mantle Of charity should be thrown
over Mr.. Bryan and his family, par
ticular care being taken to cover his

What the Votes Show.

Congressman Brosius who spoke in
Abilene last fall made an interesting
statement day or two ago on the
floor Of the house, in which he COM
pared the conditions in those states
which gave their electoral votes to
Bryan in the late election with those
giving their electoral vote to McKin-
ley.
The number Of states giving their
votes to Bryan was practically as
great as Of those voting for Mckinley,
but Mr.. Brosius finds that the McKin-
ley states have GA per cent Of the
total population Of the country. and
the Bryan states So per cent Of the
total. OF the total school expendi-
lures Of the United States, Is per
cent is expended by the states which
gave their electoral votes to McKin-
ley and but % per cent by the states
voting for Bryan; rs per cent of the
real estate holdings Of the United
States are in the states supporting
Mckinley and "a per cent in those
voting for Bryan.
While 1t was assumed that the
agricultural element would support
Mr.. Bryan and free silver, Mr.. Brosius
finds that the states giving their
electoral votes to Mckinley produce
go per cent Of the total farm products
Of the country. One curious fact Of
his statistical researches is the devel-
opment that 81 per cent Of the real
estate mortgages Of the country are
in the states voting for Mckinley and
but IS per cent in the Bryan states
This is especially interesting, since it
was claimed during the campaign
that the persons whose homes and
were mortgaged were the
ones who would especially desire
cheap money" with which to pay
off their Indebtedness.

DAVENPORT CLOSED
The Big Grocery Placed in the Hands of a
Receiver.

Judge Sweat yesterday morning ap-
pointed Judge John Q. Lehman re-
ceiver for the grocery business Of
James r. Davenport,
The business has been conducted in
the Wright building, corner of New.
castle and Monk streets. 1t has been
in existence little less than one year,
ana has enjoyed large trade. The
credit system Is assigned as the reason
for the failure.
Receiver Lehman at once took
charge of the business, and closed the
store.
Mr.. Davenport was seen bya TIMES
man yesterday, and asked about the
condition of his business. Mr.. Day.
venPort said that the closing of his
business was surprise to him, as the
condition of his business was not such
as to warrant it. Mr.. Davenport
stated that he had accounts aggregat-
ing 1000, and that his stock was
large, but he could not estimate the
amount on hand. The business was
closed on a mortgage, recorded against
Mr.. Davenport by the Merchants and
Traders bank, amounting to $4,000.
An inventory of the stock will be
taken by the receiver tOkay. Receiver
Lehman stated yesterday that he had
not appointed an attorney.
