Blessed is the poor man, says
an exchange; pickpockets never
bother him and the road agents
give him a wide berth. The tax
collector never hounds him. No
body tries to borrow and no one
asks him to endorse. If the bank
fails he can grin and bear it like
a man. He never runs over head
and ears in debt, and is not rob-
ed by lawyers, or harrassed by
litigation. Burglars never in
wade his premises and he sleeps
in peace. When he dies nobody
questions his will or tries to con-
fiscate his bones. Blessed there
fore are the poor in heart for
they always get their moneys
worth,

Senator Smiths bill comforting
the power upon the state execu-
tive council to designate an Off
cial newspaper in each county
will meet with much opposition
from the country press. De-
prive these papers of the annual
fight over the county printing
and half the JOY of living is gone.
Deprive the country editor of his
prerogative to refer to his sue
cessful rival, as ''that unprincip-
a1ed rascal that owns the Blade, "
or "the mongrel cur who calls
himself a man," and you take
some of the happiest hours from
the editors life. Let the law re-
main as it is Bro. Smith.-Garden

We noticed that a recent issue
of the Globe contained half-tone
cut of J. R. Burton and referred
to him as that peerless orator"
It will be remem bered that Frank
received his P. o. appointment
from Senator Baker and was al
ways classed a Baker man along
with Scates, Pettijohn, Sutton
and only became a Burton sup
porter after the contest was set
tied. This kind of jumping into
the band wagon always anfuses
us. Some active aspirant for
postmaster might make good use
of these incidents.

A Story in Iro. ..d Steel
From The New York World.

From Tne New IOrk WOIlo.
Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 81,
1900, American manufactures of
iron and steel amounting in value
to $229, 633, 4S0 were sent abroad
and proftably sold in foreign
markets. This was more than
twice the value of our exports of
the same manufactures for the
year 1897.
1t thus appears that the condi-
ton of our iron and steel manu-
featuring industries is so ex-
tremely prosperous that their
products are not only able tohold
the home market but to Invade
the markets of the world in sue
cessful competition with the man.
ufactured iron and steel of any
and all other nations. And the
present pace at which American
exports of this class OF metallic
manufactures is increasing is 100
per cent every three years.
An examination of the items
making up this grand total above
stated shows too that we are send
ing our manufactured iron and
steel goods not to one country
alone but to all countries. In
many cases, therefore, our man.
ufacturers are able, besides pay
ing the freight across the ocean,
to vault over the high tariffs OF
Germany, France and Russia
and still undersell the iron and
steel factories of those countries
in their own home markets. For
example, we sent nearly $1,000,
900 worth of telephone, telegraph
and other scientific instruments
out of this country last year.
Nearly 81, 200, 900 worth of them
went to France, over 100000
worth to Germany and over $500,
900 worth to other tariff-walled
European countries. Germany
also bought American sewing
machines to the total value OF
over 100000, and $500,00C
worth of our typewriters. Brit
ish Australasia, also highly tar
iff-fenced, took nearly 100000
worth of our sewing-machines
AS for the increases in 1900 OF
our exports of pig-iron, builders
hardware and steel rails, they ag.
gregated over seven million dol.
lars, and every country in Eu'
rope, in spite of its tariff barriers
was successfully invaded by
them.
In the face of all these cumula-
twp proofs that they are no long
er needed, the Dingley worse
than war tariff remains unrevis'
ed and the trusts formed under
it continue to charge the Ameri-
can people more than they are
selling their goods for in the for
eign markets.

We ran across Cy Leland s
roast of ]. R. Burton and it is
done to dark brown. AS has
been suggested, Mr.. Burton had
better take little time and re-
ply to the charges if he has any
reply to make. We certainly
should regret that such man
represents the state of Kansas
in the U. S. Senate. No man will
permit such charges to stand
against him if there is any way
to clear them.

The bill introduced in the SEN

The bill introduced in the Sen
ate by Senator Smith providing
that the executive council desig-
nate one paper in each county in
the state to publish all the legal
notices of that county, was Sc
verely condemned by the Kansas
Editorial Association, in session
at Topeka last week. The bill
would be great thing for one
Republican paper at the county
seat in the eastern counties, but
in many of those counties there
are from one to two dozen repub-
1ican papers and they won't
stand for the bill. A large ma
jority of the Editorial Associa-
ton are Republicans.

A farmer one morning when going
out to feed noticed a couple of ami
mails in the field, one he thought
was hog and the other a coyote
following up trying to get hold of
the hog, so the farmer went and got
his Winchester, but before he got in
reach they got out of his sight. At
noon they came to his house and he
found that it was hog and dog
instead of coyote, SO he penned
them up but they both got out for
him again. He thought probably
it was hog that had been killed
once and run off again, and the dog
was trying to drive it home. But
the next day Jake Myer came along
looking for the strays and found
them close by. There never was a
happier man than he when he found
his lost hog and dog.
