fled and replies came that troops would be hurried to the scene.
 Yesterday afternoon the nine negroes who were left in heap where they had died were piled into three unmarked graves, dug near the charred remains Of Lott's tenthouse. There was no cere- mony. The minister and his daughter filled one Of the holes, the women and children another and the men third. At the same time prominent citizens held a conference which was attended by Sheriff Simmons, and a message was sent to the negroes.
 Negroes Had Enough.
 .Do you want any more?' was the query.
 "No," came the reply. This had quiet ing effect and peace again reigned.
 Some of the negroes have left the coun- try. They carried all the personal effects possible. All who could rode on horse back and in buggies, and those who could not took to the woods afoot Those who were little bolder lined the roads get ting out of the community.
 When the Picayune correspondent left the scene of the battle this afternoon all was quiet The negroes are cowed and badly scared, and the whites believe there will be no further trouble.

PASSES HOLD GOOD.
Eastern and Western Roads Will Not
 Abolish Free Privilege.

ecutive officers of the Chicago eastbound roads met in Chicago today and discussed the question of abolishing the issue of passes for 1902, as recommended by the joint committee of eastern and western railroad presidents in New York week or two ago.
 In view of the fact that the western roads failed to take any action in the matter and are preparing to issue passes for 1902 the same as before, 1t was deemed inadvisable for the eastern roads to take any action on the matter. It is thought possible that something can be accom- plished for 1903

In the past unlamented session OF
the Kansas Legislature the house was
much the more reasonable, liberal and
sensible body. There are q lot OF
shoot mouth senators who are 80 high
blown with the little dieting notoriety
they have put themselves In the way
of, that they would not Credltably re-
present the breed Of common yeller
dogs in dog show, Like most legis-
lative bodies the house has not shown
itself u model Representative govern
ment In working repair, but 1t has
been u thing pleasant to contemplate
and good for dyspepsia compared with
the senate. 1t passed the text book
law in form good enough 80 that nearly
all the fusion membeIS could see their
way TO vote forit The senate knocked
Il nil to pieces, II refused to repeal
the mortgage redemption law at the
best Of the money loan rs, And so on.
Perhaps we will have tostop here in

lT seems to be on all hands agreed
that the present session Of legislature
has appropriated at least quarter OF
a million of dollars more than any
other legislature ever did in this State.
And the legislature that was next high
est IN it appropriations was the last
one before this which increased the
amount nearly half million over the
one that preceded ii, which was the
populists legislature of 1897. The
governor in his message this year
made u great sermon about the aboll-
ton of useless Offices, and the practice
Of che most rigid economy. 1t was
only grand stand play II he eX-
pected any Of these Offices would be
abolished, he ia more yerdant in poll
tics, than many people give him credit
with being, And perhaps what is a
singular thing about these appropria-
tions is that they contain no items of
Importance for use in advertising the
resources OF the state in eXpositions.
The scheme to get three hundred
thousand dollars appriated for the semi
centennial exposition at Topeka failed
dismally, and this is one Of the few
good things that may be credited to
this session, But the bill for an ap-
preparation to have the State repre-
seated Mt the Pan American eXposi-
ton ut Buffalo also failed. This Is not
80 well. That will he R Credltable eX-
position ut which the State should
have AZ least some sort Of showing.
The appropriation for the worlds fair
nj ST. LOlIs was cut 10 Il rather low
figure. So it can not be charged that
the legislature has been too lavish IN
the line Of advertising and adv0nc.
ing the ma,eriNl Interests Of the state
along that line. The appropriations
seem to have been made along the
usual lines in the usual places with q
little added to each where the officers
of the machine have the control.

1T Is strange thlnB thaJ men Oh or
dinaTily good intelligence on other
matters will occasionally take a stand
and stick to it that the cry of militar-
ism and imperialism Is false alarm
sounded only by demagogues for pollti-
cal purposes. 1t may not be denied
that 1t is used for political purposes.
All sorts Of issues, good and bad, are
used for such purposes The only
question to be considered by the dem
agogue before taking up a question Is
that it must have plausibllity, and
therefore should count something. A
question should only be decide d by a
calm consideration Of 1t on It's merits.
When the fact is shown as 1t is that
under this reign of mllitarism under
Mckinley the total cost Of maintain
ing the national government has nearly
doubled, we ask, how can fair minded
man turn Off the proposition so Flip
antlyY The year during Hayes nd
ministration when the government APP
preparations were highest they
amounted 10 IS 4G which was in 1879.
In 1888 the appropriations amounted to
81 "a per capita, which was the high
est under Arthur, The largest appro-
priatlons under ClevelAnd's first term
was the year 1887 when they amounted
to 81 81. Under Harrison there was
somewhat of a rise when they reached
the amount OF 1918 per capita In 1893.
The largest appropriations in Cleve-
lands second term was in 1894 when
they amounted to $527 But during
the last two years Of Mcknley's ad-
ministratlon what Of the eXchequ5r?
In 1880 the per capita of appropriations
was %9S, in 1900, rs 60 and. the appro-
priatjons for the current year are re-
ported to be in excess Of $1,000 per
capita. One would not be 80 greatly
surprised II this were simply to have
occurred when we were engaged In the
war with Spain, hut itglowe larger the
farther We get away from the Spanish
war. From the above liguresiJ will he
noted that in paol years prior to thp
Spanish war the average cost Of main
tanning the government was about 81.
per capita. This year it is just double
that amount, If you please this is the
difference between the republic of
peace and the empire of conquest, On
no other ground can 1t be explained to
any degree, The pensions constitute
large item Of our expenditures, but
there has been no material increase in
that item in the appropriations, This
increase of s. 90 per capita means that
Reno county with her 10000 popula-
ton will pay $4,000 more each year
to the support of the government than
in the years gone by. This is three
times the amount necessary TO build
the court house. Is it not a fine thing
for our statesmen that this tax il to be
raised by such indirection that the
people pay it little at a time on ev-
cry purchase, and do not have it to
meet all at time in lump Were
such the case they would surely be
heard from.
