a. Automobile 8 -.

Kansas will soon be trOtting away
up front in the automobile class. An
Atwood man proposes to harness one
Of these machines and put it to prac-
teal use away out on the prairies of
western Kansas. He is forming q com
pany which will run an automobile
from Trenton, Neb., to Colby, Kan, by
way Of Atwood. He has been getting
prices on the machines and finds that
he can get one large enough to carry
six passengers and haul a trailer be
hind for baggage and United States
mail, for $500. The distance from
Trenton to Colby is s. miles, and he
says his automobile can make the trip
in half a day, at an expense Of only
half a cent a mile for fuel He already
has much Of the necessary cash for the
enterprise subscribed by the business
men Of Atwood. The prairie roads Of
western Kansas, where mud rarely in
terferes with travel, furnish splendid
opportunities for testing the autOmO-
bile for practical work, and if the At
wood mans experiment proves a sue
cess, automobile lines may be expected
all over the state in the near future.
The motors can be made specially use
full in the western half Of the state
where all lines Of railroad run east and
west and where the only method Of
travel north and south is by vehicle.

The news from the Boer war is
meager. The British are powerless,
on the defensive, and Butler and
Methuen have been forced to draw
in more closely to keep out of range
of the Boer guns and notifications,
which are being strengthened and
extended. Gen. French is en-
deavoring to prevent the Beers from
extending their lines southwark
from Colenso, and forced them to
retire from Colesburg on Monday.
Martial law and a large force are
necessary to keep the Dutch of
Cape Colony from revolt, but has
failed to prevent the holding of
meetings and organizing even in
Cape Town. An uprising before
the arrival of reinforcements would
render the British situation desper-
ate, since their armies would be
surrounded and cut off from all
communication and supplies, with
imminent danger of slaughter or
capture. This seems to be the
Boei plan of campaign, with every
prospect of success, unless it can be
delayed until British reinforcements
arrive.

The Republican State officials,
Senators and Representatives al
Frankfort have signed a protest,
condemning and repudiating the
Louisville Commercial as the organ
of the Republican party. The
carpet-bag peculiarly efficient -
management of that sheet have
made a sorry mess of their effort al
showing the Louisville people how
to run a newspaper and manage
their public affairs. They are a
gang of adventures, with an un-
enviable record of wreck and fail
ure, to say nothing worse. The
public and the business men are on
to them. They have no influence
for good. The Republican party
should have repudiated them long
ago. Now LET the local Republi-
cans likewise disown the coterie,
and refuse to give any city patron
age to the Commercial, or to its ex-
cuse for an evening newspaper, the
News. Let such birds move their
roost.

We are not an anti-corporation
crank, and deprecate the dema-
gogic clamor so commonly waged
against them. Corporations have
their rights and should be protect
ed in their proper exercise. But
corporations sometimes impose on
the public, and when they do should
be rebuked and required to do
right. The Water Company re-
quires prompt payment of water
rates, which is right; it allows lib
eral discounts for cash in advance,
which is just and wise business
method. But the Water Company
does not provide ample clerks or
facilities for the convenience and
comfort of its patrons who call to
pay water bills. Owing to this de-
reelection, people who call to pay
their water bills are compelled to
stand and wait for hours in the
Office until the small force of clerks
examine, verify and pass up the
bills to the one lone collector. This
is neither just to the people nor
creditable to the Water Company.
The company can surely afford 70
provide better facilities and employ

Johnny Bull must crawl down.
In his efforts to cut off supplies
from the Beers he stops and searches
vessels and seizes goods in neutral
waters and on the high seas. A
few weeks ago three vessels were
boarded and with their cargoes con-
iscated in Delagoa bay. Part of
the cargoes was shipped by Ameri-
can merchants from New York, who
make complaint to our State De-
partment, with the result that Eng
land has been notified that such
acts can not be tolerated, which
means that the goods must be re-
leased and satisfactory apology and
indemnity given. Two German
vessels were likewise intercepted in
Delagoa bay, causing Germany to
protest, and German mail steamer
was stopped, boarded aud searched
on the nigh seas, resulting IN an
other protest and the ordering of a
German war cruiser to Delago bay.
Johnny Bulls disregard of neil
trality and the rights of nations is
likely to get him into very serious
trouble.
