them whether they be sent by parties

these quotations could not be converted

CHICAGO MARKETS.

The following table shows the open
ing, highest, lowest and closing prices
of produce at Chicago yesterday:
Hutchinson gazette., 1900-08-16

Coming suddenly upon q salesman IN
retail store who had a number OF
yard long lengths OF new piques l,ber.
ally sprnkled with those little price
tags (tbe pins all stuck through the
several thicknesses and bent DOWN,
one understood all at once the full
import Of the demands Of the sample
fend. Marked OF evenly bke check
erbonid, with seventeen price stags'
lengihwiSe and seven to the width,
which made 1l9 to the yard, the sales
man was going over the lot with q
pencil. setting down the width and
price on each.
At one store the one who is at the
head OF each stock attends no the pre-
pairing OF the samples of his particu-
lar stock. Thus the pique samples
would be cut by one, samples OF SWISS
by another, and so on. In the 81 TX de-
partment one man, who Is kept for the
purpose, does II all. And 1T takes all
his time.
For people from a distance who do
their buying by mail this Us of course
o very good method. But the part to
which all sane people take exception
is the senseless sAmpling of those who
wander admlessly about, evidently
gathering samples as n thoughtIess
child sometimes pulls twgsin passing
bushes. The worst of 1T is we have to
pay for this scnseless woman's fool
ishncss, it being often observable
that the biggest samplers are the
smallest buyers. One clerk says THAT
he has actually seen thrown upon the
sidewalks the samples given to wom'
an, after showing her the whole stock,
her purchase being ostcnsibly post
poncd because of her fear that the
goods will not match something or
other.
The time is past when these scraps

opportunity. The gains are showing
up as expected. For example at q re-
cent meeting OF the republican county
central committee, rumors being rife
that rebellion and dlsaffection had even
reached the membership Of the COM
mittee, Geo. W. Crane moved that all
members Of the committee who did
not expect to support the whole ticket
should be asked to resign. Two or
three members opposed the resolution
and made very strong lntimatlons of
what they intended to do; then an old
veteran member Of the committee,
Col. SOUTHERN said they might have
his resignation for he woul! net sup
port Stanley. The attempt to pass the
resolution was speedily abandoned.
But the real surprises in Breidenthaps
accesSons are In Wichita, StanleY's
own town, His having made enemies
in Topeka one would think
would make him dear to the
people Of Wichita. But not so. For
the last year it is we'll known the Eagle
has been saying pungent, cutting
things about Stanley, and since the
nomination Of his opponent, ter or q
dozen prominent business men and
politicians have bolted Stanley and de-
clared for Breidenthal. Added to
these are great numbers of the rank
and file and men of less prominence.
Last week w, p, Mcclure, the man
who discovered him aud taught school
in an adjoining districts with
him, a life long republican,
declared for Breidenthal in an
open letter. The reasons usually
assigned for deserting Stanley are his
weak and vascillating course in which
he has subordinated everything to pol
itics OF Cy Leland's making. 1t is
significant fact that most of the bolts
from Stanley ale In Topeka and WITCH
ita where he is best known.

THREE counties in the Seventh con.
gressional district held their nominat--
ing conventions last Saturday. All
took action of some sort on the matter
OF the congressional tangle We have
no further information than the re-
reports of the daily papers, but from
them we learn that in Sedgwick county
which is Campbell's own county, a res
olution urging the retirement of both
candidates was passed unanimously.
In Stafford county, resolution passed
urging the retirement of Campbell in
favor Of Duval. and in Finney county
similar action was taken, 1t is not
yet certain, but 1t is expected that q
meeting Of the congressional committee
will be called for about the 2lst Of
this month. If this meeting Of the
full committee is called 1t will without
doubt take some sort Of action on the
matter.

One day there came to him sad
looking little woman who said that
she was quite new to journalism, but
that she had got an order for an in-

printed he sent note to the editor
congratulWting him upon the inter-
view and saying that he liked it better
than any which he had ever done.
And the editor replied politely, saying
that he had liked 1t himself, and had
been encouraged and pleased to find
the little woman could do such good
work. But six months later, meeting
Mr.. Moore, he said: Its curious.

Four years ago the democrats and
popullst had several spasms In regard
TO England controlling money market
Of the world and debating the EinSn-
cial policy of this county. twill now
be interesting to know how they look
upon the fact that England comes to
his country and borrows the money
with which to carry on her expensive
war in South Africa. The borrower
never dictate the terms-News.
While the gold standard is good for
the creditor class it is never good for
the government, and England came
to the United Statesito borrow as on a
gold standard she was not able to
carry on her war and maintain her
credit at a point where her money
lenders were willing to accept it, 1t
seems that some Of our capitalists
love Great Britain better than her own
wealthy men do And we'll warrant
they ara everyone supporters of Nc.

The golden rule given by the SavIou
of men nearly 1900 years ago was "do
unto others as ye would that others do
unto you" A very long time before
that CJnfucius admOnished his Chin
ese countrVmen "never do unto any
one else anything you would not have
him do unto you" To this day he Is
considered mean Chinaman who
will attempt to impose upon anvone
else anything he would not accept him
self. 1t is probably safe to say that
there Is not in this Christian nation
any considerable number of people
who would permit any Of the gurran
tees Of the constitution TO be taken
away without light. Yet there are
agreat many people In this country
who are willing to fight at least with
their mouths, to impose upon the Fill
pinos and Porto Rlcans without their
consent a government which denies
these or at least the most valuable of
them. In the most liberal Of the var
ious propositions Of civil government
that have been made to the Fillplnos
home rule in municipalities is about
the most that has been conceded.
Once when negotiations w,re pending
upon the Initiative of the insurgents
for peace, one of their pricinple
demands was that in the new govern
ment they should be given the guar
anteeI contained in the bill of rights.
The reply of the American authorities
was that they might have all except
the light TO bear arms and the right of
trial by jury. The right of trial by
jury as is well known is the very first
and primary right wrested from mon
archs by the people in the reat charter
signed by king John in 1915. This
American administration has made
itself IA worse foe to human rights In
this matter than that weak aud vile
tyrant OF the middle ages.

THE spectacle Of the various wars
of conquest waged by different civilized
nations and especially those Of Anglo
Saxon origin during the laot few years,
has not been u pleasant one for those
who love peace and good will among
men, and who have higher ideas or
mans purpose in lite than Ia arrayiug
him in a deadly combat against his
neighb0r. Nevertheless there have
been some occurrences which Give
brighter prospect, For instance there
Is the abolishment OF penal exporta-
ton 10 Siberia The Siberian exile
system may not have been nearly as
bad rs painted, but II WAS no douot
bad. The Russian people are very
young In civilization and are no doubt
essentially brutal and harberous In
many of their practices Most of
their monarchs have been like most
other monarchs, inclined to stihe
rather than cultivate the aspirations
of their better natures on the principle
that an ignorant man is more easily
kept In subsection than an intelligent
and educated man, But the present
C2lrs without doubt the most bene-
licent ruler in Europe today and I'M,
der him we shall expect Russia to make
great advances, both along material
and intellectual lines.

THE Chicago Record is one of the
greatest independent papers In the
United States. IL 10 the paper that
four years ago spent many thousand
dollars In taking q postal card poll OF
Illinois and made very correct pro-
phesy. In strong editorial it says:
THE explanation Of Mr., Bryan's pop
ularity must DO sought In q cause
which lies deeper than any particular
political issue. That cause is to be
found In II growing belief among the
people that their government is slip

Imperialism is a costly crusade for po-
litical and commercial spoils; the gov
ernment itself is a citadel Of special
privilege. They see in the CONNER
cialism that has debauched our
municipal. State and national govern
ments the sufficient cause of our political
ills. Mr. Bryan peculiarly represents
the forces that seek TO overthrow
those who have tried to turn the flag
into commercial asset" His ad-
mirerS wish TO destroy the influences
that stand between the people and
their government He represents a
rising tide Of democracy, In kind like
those Of 1900 and 1928. One need not
regard without apprehension all that
such u movement involves to see in it
much that is good. Whether it is now
to succeed or fail, this movement
embodies the true democratic spirit.
Herein lies the source of his popularity
In this he has found his inspiration.
That the CrOkers of the democratic
party bend to the storm shows its
strength and also reveals Its weakness.
Ii emotion will win, how can it save

snares of the bosses, who are not

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT,

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT T,
At the next election the voters Of
Kansas will be called TO pass upon u
proposition to amend the State con-
stitution 30 as TO increase the number
of justices on the supreme bench from
three. the present number, to seven
The question has not 80 far received
much attention and the appearances
are that not many Of the voters will
be qualified to vote intelllgently on the
proposition, The fact Is chat we do
not feel qualified to give the matter a
thorough and comprehensive discus
sion, Not being u lawyer we cannot
look at II through u lawyers eye, but
have IN our rude way arrived Mt some
conclusions, based largely upon our
own experience and observation. Ii Is
u fact everywhere admitted that three
justices cannot dispose Of the great
volume Of business that Is certain to be
passed up from the district courts for
review. In the earlier history Of the
State when the population and wealth.
and consequently the litigation, was
but fraction Of what 1t is now, three
justices we're sufficient, But Cor the
last twelve years In order to dispose Of
the business II has been necessary to
devise some means for assisting the
supreme court to keep up with It's work.
1t had got 80 far behind that case
appealed from q district court could
not be heard In the supreme court In
less than two to three years time. In
order TO help them catch up" the law
for creating a temporary supreme
court commission was passed. The
commission was such clumsy arrange
ment that when 1t died by natural
limit. the supreme court was about as
far behind as ever. Then the popu-
lists urged the establishment Of inter
mediate courts of appeal which was
finally done. This has worked 80 sue
cessfully that at the present the sup
RENE court docket is not far behind
But the matter Of keeping this court
up with its work Is one of great i'm
portance, especially to the poor man.
The corporations always like to delay
litigation. 1t IS one of their favorite
methods Of winning bad case to
wear it out by delays in the court.
Since it Is admitted that the supreme
court needs assistance, the question
is whether the people should vote for
the amendment, enlarge the number
of justices so that they can divide up
the work and get through more Of It,
or vote down the amendment and let
the legislature revive and continue the
courts Of appeal which have been sue
cessful In their works. II the in
creased numbero OF justices would be as
successful in keeping up the work,
they would be preferable to the courts
Of appeal. Because the larger cases
and those In which the corporations
are interested with their high class Of
attorneys, will find their way TO the
supreme court any way, and the cost
Of appealing to the court of appeals is
about as great as In going
10 the supreme court. SO the poor
man will have to face the specter Of
about twice the costs in the event |
that his case goes into the court Of ap-
peals, that he does Il he 20 direct into |
The supreme court, This is about the |
situation as we see 1t.
