The frosts of the week before had
robbed the flowers and vines of their
charm; the takers and vendors on the
grounds and the midway looked tired
and listless; and the feeding booths
looked dirtier and smelled louder than
on the occasion of our first visit. But
the diminished attendance gave better
opportunities for seeing the really val
liable exhibits. We we're particularly
pleased with better view of the ex-
hibits in the Transportation Building,
including the mammoth locomotives
for mountain climbing and the show
train OF the Pullman company. The

twice AS much. He means that social
indulgences should be totally unre-
stricted and sumptary laws and all
ordinances restricting or abridging in
dividual liberty thrown to the winds.
But there is, as most every one knows,
q good side to Doc. Ames. He is q
genial fellow with generous instincts.
He enormously thinks he possesses the
salient traits of statesman, and is
conceited and vain, still this does not
lesson the kindness of his nature, and
in him the proletariat has an unfailing
friend. Of course he will not be elect
ed mayor but he will get great many
votes.
I have read with interest and pleas
ure the communication of Mr.. Aiken,
from Topeka, and note that he pauses
right in the midst of a graphic des-
cription of the Omaha exposition long
enough to give me gentle hint that
he doesn't think as he thinks I think.
He intimates that my views are dys-
peptic and suggests that if will take
a pill and sun bath I will "get more
hopeful views of American politics and
some other things" This is presum-
ably criticism, but the critic would
have made it more interesting if he
had given nebulous hint of what be
was attempting to criticise. He states
that "the rising generation is coming
on with better education and higher
standards of citizenship" that he "has
great faith in the common people,"
and that "the great American people
are the best people on earth" To all
this I say amen. The common people
are all right; I'm glad I'm one of 'em.
The common people whaled the
English, laid the foundation stones of
this government, put down the rebel
lion among the states, sent the blood
of prosperity and wealth coursing
through the veins of the nation, landed
fatal blow upon the solar plexus of
the naughty Spaniards and planted
the Yankee flag upon the pinnacle 60
high that every nation on the earth
can look upon it. But the people we
are now talking about are very differ
emit from the kind Of people alluded to
in q former communication, when the
statement was made that the standard
of the legislatures was lowering. Ref
erence was therehad to the profession.
al ward heelers, ignoramuses, revenue
reapers and characterless ours of the
large cities which, by methods which
being with horns and tail could not
decipher, get into every legislature
1t is unfortunate that such people
have political ambition and still more
unfortunate that they sometimes get
themselves nominated for Office and
elected; but that they do is fact that
will only be questioned by men whose
opportunities have been such as to
limit the scope of their observation.
A legislature or any other body COM
posed of representative or common
people with common sense is all right,
but the uncommon people with un-
common sense are the ones which
bring discredit upon every assemblage
which they get into. If Mr.. Aiken
will come up here or go to any large
CITY and watch politics and politicians
for time he will see the point. I'm
willing to take one of his dvspeptic
pills if he can safely spare one, still I
contend that he has made an error of
diagnosis in this case.

KANSAS REVISITED.
Incidents and Impressions of a
Trip to the Sunf1oWer State.

The Rock Island railroad from To-
peka north traverses a lovely farming
region. The Minnesotian is contin-
ually reminded in this part of Kansas
that corn is King, rather than wheat.
Instead of towering elevators one sees
rows of corn cribs and stock chutes at
most of the towns. Corn and cattle
have brought prosperity in their wake
in many sections of Kansas. In and
around Hiawatha, the county seat of
Brown county-which is the incest
country town, all things considered,
that I saw in my travels-are not a
few farmers who are reputed to have
possessions valued at from $5O, 900 up
wards, usually the result of q judicious
mixture of corn raising aud cattle feed
ing. Along with prosperous farming
it naturally follows that the price Of
land is high-from $35 to $50 per acre,
according to nearness to market, etc.
These lands readily bring q cash
rental of from three to five dollars PEI
acre for each season.
SIS
While Kansas ranks we'll as q corn
country, see no reason to believe that
the average crop there is any better
than in the southwestern counties of
Minnesota. Indeed, the Kansas State
agricultural bureau only claims an
average product of corn this year of a
fraction over II bushels per acre. This
would not be considered much better
than half an average crop in Redwood

The fact that the prohibitory amend
ment does not absolutely prohibit,
must not be taken as an admission
that it is total failure. It is pleasant
to go through large towns like Topeka
and Hiawatha and see no drinking
resorts or drunkards, and statistics are
in evidence to show that the consump-
ton of intoxicants in Kansas per capita
is much less than in States without
similar legal restraints. Kansas is too
Jealous of it's educational advantages
to ever open the saloons again, in my
opinion.
The tax rates in Kansas seem very
high according to Minnesota stand
ards. In Hiawaths smiling prosperity
seems to abound, in spite OF an annual
tax rate of over six per cent, and /
was told that considerably higher
rates prevailed in many Kansas towns.
MY host was q prosperous harness
dealer, with carriages as side line,
and small farm near the city, besides
good residence and store building.
He made very little complaint over
paying between two and three hundred
dollars taxes per year, but | fancy the
average Redwood tradesman would
be anything but patient under such q
burden of taxation.

over between trains at Omaha and the

carried by the steam railroads. 1t is
claimed that on road of this kind 100
miles an hour can safely be made.
