More money per capita, more gold,
more silver and larger total Of
money in circulation than ever before
is the summarization OF the "circula-
ton statement" issued by the treas
ury department fol April /. 1900,
and just made public. For the first
time in the history OF the country the
per capita circulation has crossed the
$26 line and the year 1900 carried the
total for the first time past the ST.
900, 900, 900 line, while the amount OF
gold and gold certificates in circula-
ton is larger than at the correspond
ing date Of any previous year. All
these things are exactly what the

are honest they should admit that
the Republicans we're right and the
administration a good one.

Fusion and Prairie Fire.

Barney Sheridan, the Democratic
wheelhorse, is not TO be scared. Some
body wrote him to join the fusion
forces (which are sweeping on like a
prairie fire." He replies:
"Prairie fire. is good; the smile
appropriate. 1t gives force and fer.
vor to the term. What more fittingly
suggests the snap and crash Of fusion
than a prairie fire, which gallops like
death on pale horse hellwardP What
other figure SO aptly expresses the
blending Of elements at white heat to
the cracking music Of the flames that
leave only blackness in their wakeP
The similitude is still more fitting
when one reflects that prairie fires
never benefited anybody and that on
ly needless persons start them and
only fools fight them. So the editor
will simply watch the fire sweep on.
1t cant do much more harm. There's
no "young timber on the Democratic
homestead to suffer. What little
wasn't "deadened" in 1896 by the
Hutchinson convention in loosing the
foxes CT Populism with frebrands to
their tails was charred to the root in
the conhagration started by needless
incendiaries at Atchison in 1898. The
few old Democratic trunks left stand
ing can survive another scorching.

The big standpipe of the Elgin,
Illinois, waterworks went to smash
last winter and the cause has Just
been found. The water froze to such
a depth in the pipe as to form an I'M
mense cake of ice, the weight of
which has been estimated all the way
from twenty-five to fifty tons. The
water lowered in the pipe, leaving the
ice clinging to the sides. This cake,
it is thought, gave way when the
water was low and the icy plunger,
striking the water, created such a
conclusion as to rip out the sheets as
clean as though they had been cut
with pair Of shears. The immense
weight Of the tower caused it to settle
and then topple over, spilling out
great chunks Of ice, from which an
estimate OF weight before the collapse
is formed.

A CHANGED BILL OF FARE,

The great change that has come over
the Populist party since its beginning
ten years ago must be startling to the
members of that organization. 1t was
clearly demonstrated at the meet
ing of the Democratic and Populist
Central committees of the Seventh
district, recently held in Hutchin-
son, to consummate the fusion
between those two parties. The
work of the day was concluded in
the evening by an elaborate banquet
which began with oysters on the half
shell and ended with wine and cigars.
Ten years ago when the n,pulists
had demonstration or meeting for
political effect, they held it in a grove
on the river bank, or in the county fair
ground, so as to accommodate the large
number of people who were sure to
attend. Before the program began
they would form a procession usually
several miles long, and with banners
flying and women and children sing
ing, would parade the streets of the
town, striking terror to the hearts Of
their political opponents.
This year there was no procession.
The old banners did not appear and
new ones did not take their places. The
women and children were left at home.
The old tunes, I'VE Will be Free" and
"Good-by, Old Party, Good-by," were
not heard, Only those who could pay
the dollars were admitted to the ban
Quet. The only song sang was 1--WE
won't go Home till Morning." The
dinner served in the woods, made up of
fried chicken and good, solid grub
from the farm, was changed to mid
night feast, the bill of fare for which
was prepared by the best caterer in the
city and was made up of the delicacies
that are generally considered as be-
longing only to plutocrats.
Ten years ago when the meeting was
concluded the farmers would have
hitched up the teams and gone home to
help do the chores. This year the Pop
ulist and Democratic statesmen were
assisted down stairs and taken to the
hotels in hacks.
No fault can be found with this new
style Of Populist meetings, for it was
made possible by the prosperity of the
country which has given the Populists
and every one else the money to pay
for such festivities. But the comparison
with the wholesome and enthusiastic
meetings Of 1890 is one that bodies no
good to the Populist party. The at
tendance at the Hutchinson banquet
was select but it was comparatively
small. The men who do the voting
were not present. They will also be
absent at the polls.

Mr.. Burton and Kansas.

J. Ralph Burton Is quoted rs expressing
serious doubt about the result Of the cleo
lions In Kansas this year, whether the Re-
publicans can carry them. We believe they
can but II will be no thanks TO the Burton
crowd LeavenwOIth Times.
The above brilliant etfervescence
from Mr.. Bakers personal organ in
dicates the attitude Of. the opposition
to Mr.. Burton and shows with what
desperation and unfairness it is con-
Quoting its campaign. The above
statement is based on an alleged dis.
patch from Abilene appearing in the
Kansas City Times which said:
j. X. Burton and wife are at home
for a few days. They are here pre-
sumably for short rest, but it is
well known that Burton is looking
after his political interests. There
is considerable opposition to him 10
bis home county among men OF his
own political faith, and, although he
will get this delegation, he is shrewd
enough to get on the ground and see
that no mistake is made.
Mr.. Burton surprised some OF his
political friends by expressing seri-
Gus doubt as the result Of the state
election this year.
The asinine idiocy Of the dispatch
can be better understood when 1t is
remembered that not only is the Re-
publican party of Dickinson a unit
for Mr.. Burton but the leaders OF
other parties will be glad TO see him
win. There is no delegation" to
choose, all we're selected month ago
and none has the least bearing on the
senatorial question. Mr.. Burton ex'
pressed no doubt whatever OF the
election but said that the indications
for a sweeping Republican victory
more favorable than at any time
since 1888. The Times by printing
such ridiculous and palpably false
correspondence (D is making itself
laughing stock in Abilene where
the truth Is so well known.
Mr.. Burton commenced working
for Republican success in Kansas
when he came here in the early 7O's.
He has never missed campaign
since and there never has been q day
since when Republican victory was
not dearer to him than to any per.
sonsl accomplishment. No paper
knows this so well as the Leaven.
worth Times and it is beneath the
dignity and standing Of that papers
editor to stoop to methods so low as
the item quoted evidences.

For Cheaper Lumber Rates.

The lumber men OF Kansas are en-.
gagged in righteous effort to secure
better freight rates on lumber for
Kansas. They make this argument:
"The average rate from Texarkana,
Texas, or any other common point in
the south to Oklahoma is 20! cents
per hundred, to Kansas it is 20 cents,
to Missouri 1t is only % cents, to
Illinois only "a cents, to Indiana only
25l cents, to Ohio only 20 cents, to
Iowa only 20 cents. To make still
more plain the discrimination COM
planned Of: The distance from Tex
arkana to Wichita, Kansas, is SOB
miles, the rate is 80 cents; same to
Chicago via A. I. & S. F., 1889 miles,
the rate is "a cents; same to Omaha,
Nebraska, via Mo. Pac. is 877 miles,
rate 23 cents; same to St. Louis, via
St. l.. |. M. & S. is 400 miles, the
rate is l6 cents; same to Indianapolis
via Mo. Pac. and Vandalia r. RS is
73O miles, rate "a cents; same to
Columbus, Ohio, same roads is gil
miles, rate 81 cents; same to Des
Moines, Iowa, via Mo. Pac. and Chi
cago & Great Western X. Rs is 1877
miles, rate rs! cents.
"The average mileage to all local
points in these several states is con-
sderably greater than is shown to
these special points, and the average
rate is as stated for the states at
large. The Mo. Pac. hauls lumber
from Texarkana to st. Louis, 400
miles, thence on to Jefferson City,
Missouri, 1926 miles farther for %
cents. II the destination OF the car
was Bagnell, Missouri, the end Of
their branch from Jefferson City and
45 miles farther still, they content
themselves with the same rate Of 23
cents.
"From St. Louis to Bagnell they
have no competition and yet they
perform the service for reasonable
rate. The average rate on all the
railroad lines in Missouri is only 20
cents as stated. Why should this
road not favor its Kansas patrons
with equally as reasonable a rate.
We believe that to be a reasonable
rate and our members in Missouri are
satisfied, except at some points in
northern Missouri where on a direct
line to Chicago the rate is higher than
the Chicago rate. Kansas and Okla
homa are entitled ITO the reasonable
rate that prevails in our sister state.
The volume of traffic now exceeds the
capacity Of the railroads to furnish
equipment and delay in shipment on
account of their inability to furnish
the cars, has become the rule and not
the exception. Full cars of grain 60
south and are loaded back with lum-
Der, the average value of these cars
of lumber is about $275 and the
freight frequently is more than the
value of the lumber"
Kansas is using lots Of lumber
these days and no effort should. be
spared TO get it as cheap as possible.
1t certainly costs too much now.
