New Kind of Grating. .

At Solomon City, Kas., a thresher
named Joseph Sullivan was so severely
burned on his hip that the skin came off
from a surface six inches square. This
sore spot would not heal and a new
grating experiment has been tried with
apparent success The skin was taken
from the abdomen OF frogs, cut in strips
and bound on the raw surface where it
has grown so readily that the place is
rapidly healing over and the man will
soon be able to return to his work. This
is surely a new kind of grating and
shows the readiness with which dame
nature will adapt her methods to cure
the ills of man.

We commend the State administration

the rights Of the people and It's efficient
and economic conduct Of State affairs We
commend the action of the Populist MEM
bers Of the last Legislature In passing laws
that have saved hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars to the people Of Kansas. We also
commend the course OF our Senator and

position to Issuance OF interest-beaTinS
bonds and the encroachments Of corporate
power upon the rights OF the people, and
their viglant devotion to the interests OF
their constituents
We demand that the initiative and refer

We favor the public ownership Of all
public utilities and demand the public own

The State laws regulating stock yards
having been resisted, we demand that the
State Of Kansas shall provide adequate
market facilities by purchasing land and
constructing necessary buildings, yards

Of buyers and commission men from con-
trolling or regulating prices. Charges for

We demand that the State of Kansas
shall provide insurance protection against
fire, lightning and tornadoes as State
function, at cost.
These being in opposition to the existing
constitution Of the State, we demand a
constitutional convention to the end that
they may be made effectual and that other
defects that now exist In our State constA-

Just one word with the Topeka Capital
and other expansionists. Supposing that
the people of one of the lands which have
been freed from the yoke of Spain should
get together and adopt a manifesto some
thing like this:
We hold these truths to be self evident
that all men are created equal; they are
endowed by their Creator with certain un-
alienahle rights; that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That
to secure these rights, governments are in
stituted among men. deriving their just
powers from the consent Of the governed; ;
and that whenever any form OF govern

organizing its powers in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to effect their

The recent troubles at Pana and Nlr-
den, ILL.,, indicate a remarkable change
in public sentiment in favor Of labor.
1t was not very long ago that troops were
called on to protect property Of corpora
tions regardless of the rights of the
workingmen. But sentiment grew strong
ly against this practice and the cOrpo-
rations were obliged to shift from the
executive to the Judiciary, instituting
government by injunction. Now the mi
litia is out again. but it favors the just
demands of the miners. The cry Of IAN
archy" from the operators, it will be no
ticed, falls rather fat. People take some
notice Of the violated contracts and the
boasts of these same operators, and ac-
cordingly have their own ideas as to
who the real anarchists are.

Capital is notmoney, as money or lands,
etc., as such. 1t is wealth engaged in the
active process Of increasing itself, or,
as Professor Marshall puts it, Capital
is that part of wealth which is devoted
to obtaining further wealth. There is
no protest against capitalism managed
for the good Of all (public capitalism,
but there is just and righteous protest
against capital working for the benefit
of a few at the expense and misery Of
many (private capitalism).

cooperative Threshlng

The wheat crop was so large in CEN
tral Kansas this year that threshing ma
chimes could not be procured to do the
threshing as fast as the farmers wanted
it done, and fifteen farmers in the north
ern part of Dickinson county have
formed a co-operative-tha is, help one
another-threshing association and
bought a threshing outfit for their own
use. Their own threshing this year will
pay for the machine and they will have
it when they want it and have help
enough among themselves to run it.
After their own grain is threshed they
can use it for doing threshing for other
farmers at the regular prices paid for
threshing grain, and thus make it
profitable as we'll as convenient venture.

Coming Nation, "has held for months
that II it gained the ownership Of the

need to levy a cents taxation. Working
upon this plan, the citizens have gained
possession Of the waterworks and street
lighting plant, and recently closed deal
whereby they gain possession Of the COM

these plants will amount to $4,000 an
