HOME CAPITAL FOR MANuEAC-

terprise among home capitalists. and ADDS
There las been heretofore too much OF n

Texas Many towns and cities in this state
have already learned that tn way to get

fiHSittOu lines.
The Houston Post says did 1t ever
occur to the farmers of Texas that good
wagon roads will greatly reduce the cost
OF freight transportation"
1t probably has, yet the facts are that
tho farmer does less complaining about
bad roads than anyone, yet he is the
greatest sufferer by them. II the farmer
demanded good roads he would get
them. The farmer is always opposed to
taxation Tor any specific purpose, and
without money roads can not be built
In Pennsylvania and Ohio and in some
sections Of Illinois and Indiana good
country roads have been built at an ex-
pense of from $1,000 to $4,000 per mile and
after once constructed the farmers would
not do without them for any money. In
this country which Is free from bottom
less swamps or BLACK waXy" land, good
roads could be built at from Sl00 to 5000
per mile, and at the same time drainage
be worth many times the cost of the
roads to the adjacent farms. All that is
necessary here is 10 grade up the road
bed and pIovide a drain for the water to
make its escape and you will always
nave a good road with an annual ex-
pense of keeping the bitches open, I'm
der the Masterson drainage law, and with
the assistance OF an extra road and bridge
tax. such roads could be constructed all
over this county within a few years pro-
Vided the people are willing to be taxed
Tor the expense. But are they willing
Tor such taxi From the lack OF inter
est shown in the matter 1t would seem
that they are not.

the State is shown by the fact that he Is
known from ore end OF tho State u the
other as Jack Rabbit TAYLOR. AS to John
Young Brown, the independent. there Is a
difference OF opinion concerning the mo-
tives which inspired his entering this race
with the avowed purpose OF defeating the
democratic nominee There has been talk
OF financial reasons but the most probable
solution have heard Is that he was prom
ised the seat in the United States senate
in case the opponents of the straight ticket
We're able TO cortro,.
Just now the status of the senatorial
race Is uncertain. That has been over
Swallowed by the controversy about the
governorship. II is certain that there have
been elected a good majority of men who
ran as democrats. but some of these were
On the Brown ticket, and are classed as
Independents. Whether they would be for
Blackburn or Brown, and whether they
will enter the democratic caucus. seems to
be still uncertain. 1t is possible that the
state may be given another senatorial tie
up like that which resulted In Desoe's
election. There is much talk among the
anti Blackburn men about their ABILITY to
defeat old Joe, but he and his friends seem

"As to the after results of all this, 1t Is
hard to say. 1t seems to me that the
State was never before in so chaotic
condition. All of the trouble may be
traced TO 1896, when the Courier-Journa
led the bolt from democracy and General
Buckner allowed himself to be used in
the game to encompass the defeat of Bryan
In the State. That bolt Of 1896 has been
followed by this one, in which another ex-
self to be made the tool of dsmoeracy's
enemies. The result is that all the bitter
ness has taken great many people out of
the democratic party and clear over into
the republican party. The Courier Journal.
Buckner and Brown have formed the three
spans in bridge by which thousands OF
former democrats have gone clear over
to the enemy. They voted for Mckinley
instead of Palmer and for Taylor instead
of John Young Brown. Things are in
chaotic state. Goebsl has made the brav-
est of fights in the face of ms.epresenta-
ton and vituoeration such as few men
have had to face, and those who supported
him have been staneh and true; but for a
second time have alleged democrats been
able to throw the state into the hands Of
the republicans and the outlook for the
future can not be said to be particularly

Republic.
The Topeka Capital, the republican or
gan of Kansas, caused CONSERVATION among
the republican bosses and politicians today
by a denunciation of trusts. The Capital
prints five columns of interviews with the
business men OF Topeka, in which it is
shown that an advance of from 10 to 100
per cent on every commodity used by the
people has been made by the trade conbi-
nations ana trusts. Business men declare
they see no hope of lower prices on the
staples, and they explain that the increase
is wholly due 10 tho big trusts and COM
binations u4nong manufacturers
Furniture dealers say prices have gone
up 80 and 40 per cent in two weeks. One
of the heaviest dry goods dealers in To-
peka SAID
4 buy my goods from the trusts They
have me in their power. Were to he In
teryiewed and tell the truth about the in
crease in prices and the cause l believe
the trusts would make it impossible for
me to buy goods. So don't use my name
The Capital editorially warns the re-
publican party of the impending danger
IN its protection of trusts in the follow
ing;
We are not alarmists, but we are i'm
pressed with the belief that the people of
the United States are facing today Il
menace TO the peace OF the country as
great and powerful as slavery was in
1851 In 1900 it will be National issue.
In that contest we believe that the re-
publican party will he on the side of the
people and against the criminal trusts. The
political party that stands as the pro-
tector and promoter OF the allied mon
eyed interests, crushing out small COM
petitors and increasing the cost of living
for the purpose of maintaining as profit
able billions OF dollars worth of gam
bling trust stocks. ought to and will 20
