A Sensible Northern Paper.

In reply to a comment of the
Macon Ca News the New York
Journal askr
Why should we not feel friendly
toward every section, class or com
munity of our common country.
For the south especially the Jour
nal confesses a friendly feeling,
Has not the south contributed
its quota to the greatness of the
nation--in its material products, in
the beauty of its women and the
manhood of its men?
Has it not endured the curse of
carpetbaggers? Has it not for
years paid its proportion of $780,
100000 annually in pensions, of
which it receives not a cent.
And in spite of this has it not
continued to contribute to the
country's prosperity with its cotton
its sugar and its manufactures
When the shackles were struck
from a million slaves did not the
south alone bear the burden of
their altered lives and of the prob
lem of their maintenance? Is it
not today struggling alone with
the race problem ?
1t is hard to be truly great with
a broken back, yet, standing up
grimly under its burden of their
burden of disabilities after the war,
the south compelled the admiration
of the world
Under difficulties the soUth has
grown, and under difficulties it will
continue to grow.

Senator Harris of Kansas, offers
a remedy for the trust evil that is
deserving of earnest consideration.
One feature of his suggestion IS to
have the federal authority control
the issue of the bonds of corpora
lions, not conferring the right to
issue until the corporations prop
4rty has been appraised, and re-
stricting the issue to two-thirds OF
the value of the property. He
thinks this provision would do away
With the speculative features.

Good Advice.

Oh how long will it be before the
proud fathers and mothers of the
Inub nosed freckled faced young
sters of our land will cease from
their ambition to make professional
men out of their youngsters, and
instead, urge them to become u-e-
full practical la5oring men? The
fact that every male child in the
United States may become presi-
dent has done more toward running
the lives of many than any 9th, r
one thing, because the foolish par
ents insist on fitting them for that
high position rather than the lower
one they are destined to fiiL The
ranks of the professions are now so
full that it is almost impossible for
one in ten to succeed; while skilled
labor is always in demand and con
trols good wages. Still the rush of
students to the university to study
law, instead of to the A. & E. col
leges to study the practical things
of life, goes on and it is dollars to
doughnuts that half the unfortu-
nate babies that have been chris
tened Dewey in the past year are
told fifty times a day that 'Muz-
zer's" little baby boy is doin' to be
president some day, so he is,-Texas S

COUNTY POLITICS.

The county central committees of
the democratic and popullst parties of
Barton county met in this city last
Saturday to confer as to the best in
terests of the parties in the coming
campaign for the election of county
officers.
In the democratic committee the
question of how best to unite che forces
opposed to republicanism was thor
oughly discussed, and while all we're
as unit in believing that a united
force would be much more potent than
with the forces divided and working
under two heads, or with two orga-
nizations, they thought that such a
consolidationof forces should be bought
about first by the people them
selves rather than by the central com.
mittee, and that also the official move
ment for such consolidation should be
started by the national or state COM
mittees after the people had demanded
it.
Each of the committees was we'll
attended, practically every part of
the county being represented. By
unanimous action on the part of both
committees a conference was held as
to the time, place and method of hold>
ing conventions to nominate county
candidates.
The democrat committee appointed
Nick Klepper, D. g. Bird and w.
P. Feder to confer with like COM
mittee of three from the populist
central committee.
These sub committees, after bsing
instructed as to the wishes of the men
they represented, met and agreed
upon a course of action as follows:
Both conventions to be held at Hois-
ington, on Saturday, July %.
The democrat convention to name
the candidates for Treasurer, Sheriff,
and Commissioners for 1st district: the
populists to name candidates for
County Clerk, Register of Deeds,
Coroner and Surveyor.
The reports Of these sub committees
were received and unanimously
adopted by each county central COM
mittee, and conventions are called
accordingly.

It is All Right.

Many Kansas counties are incereas>
ing their receipts from personal prop
erty taxes this spring by listing the
propertyst it's actual value, then deduct
ing the 5000 legal exemption, after
which the remainder is assessed on the
basis OF one-half or one-third of its
actual value. Riley, Pottawatomie,
Dickinson and Reno are among the
counties which have adopted this plan.
By the old plan, which is still in use in
more than three-fourths of the Kansas
counties, personal property is listed at
one half or one-third its actual value,
and then the 5000 exemption is deduc-
ted. In the great majority of cases when
property is first listed at one halt or
one third its actual value, there is
nothing left for taxation after the
$500 exemption has been deducted.
But when the new plan is adopted and
the $500 Is deducted on the basis of
the actual value of the property instead
of one-half or oue-third, hundreds of
people who never before have paid
taxes are caught for few dollars.
The new plan is proving very salts
factory and will probably be adopted
next year in many other counties. The
proposition in nutshell is that the
5000 exemption must be upon the basis
Of actual value OF the property instead
of one half or one-third of Its value.
This increases the total valuation of
personal property and reduces the rate
of taxation.-Maila and Breeze

brought small retinue of friends and
servants with him. But coursing meets
became too common and the annual
meetings were given up. Since then
it has been grazing ground.
One day several years ago dark
cloud came up in the northwest and met
another from the south directly over
the bottoms. There was tremendous
rainfall, cloudburst. and the bottoms
were covered to depth of six feet. For
two years the water was visible, showing

with capacity of 800 feet, to be enlarg.
ed to 1. 500 feet later. which leads from
the river bed to an opening made
through the hills, and is to pour its
contents into the depression. The ditch
has been running considerable stream
water comes it is expected that it will
easily fill the old lake bottom and make
an artificial body of water the largest of
its kind in the nation, and the largest of
any kind between Chicago and Salt
Lake. Around the shore is to be a
gravel road, if the gravel can be secur.
ed: trees are to be planted, and with
the boats on the lake it is believed that
a delightful resort for summer days on
the plains, when hot winds hold sway,
will be established.
Along with the artistic advantages
there ore to be reaped other profits.
The waters of ditch and lake are to be
utilized by the farmers for irrigation.
and miles of laterals have already been
constructed. so that nearly half of the
county will be watered from this
tributary of the Arkansas.
The problem of water supply ia the
most preplexing before the western peo.
pie, and there have been many plans
proposed that were intended to give re-
lief. The rivers that flow from the hills
and then laggard and almless. saunter
across the prairies, cannot furnish
water to all who wish to secure their
help. Too much water is wasted. At
times the stream is bank full, or is flood
ing all the surrounding country: then
there is drought, and dust flies from the
bed of the stream. In the opinion of
many the true solution of the question
is by means of reservoirs which shall
hold the surplus and give it out slowly
when needed. To do this is the object
of Cheyenne Bottoms lake, and the
experiment is ON such a large scale
that it promises to be an authoritative
test of the plan. 1t will at least result
in forming the largest artificial lake in
the nation.

Douglas A Republican Saint.

This extract from one of Abraham
Lincoln's speeches sounds reasonable
now. but it shone with the light of truth
and right when the words were uttered:
"When the white man governs him.
self, that is self government; but when
he governs himself and also governs
another man. that is more than self
government, that is despotism.
Lincoln's speeches ought to be
censored. Perhaps they should be
suppressed altogether.
Put beside the above unpatriotic
vaporing of the rail splitter, those,
noble words of his great rival. Stephen
A. Douglas; "In my opinion the sign.
ers of the Declaration of Independece
had no reference to the negro whatever
when they declared all men to be Great.
ed equal. They desired to express by
that phrase white men. men of Euro.
pean birth and European descent. and
had no reference either to the negro the
savage Indian, the Fiji. the Malay"
How pretty and parochial the "simple
western attorney" appears when con.
fronted with the broad craftsmanship
of the Little Giant" Douglas was a
far seeing man. He evidently had the
present crisis in mind when he made
that startling reference to the Malays,
He forsaw the appearance of Duty and
Destiny as political forces and knew
just how they would deal with the
PHILIPPINE question.
