A shipment of peaches from Cape
Colony, South Africa, arrived in
Chicago on Saturday last. They
were packed in boxes one dozen to
the box. In the shipment were a
few dozen plums, from the same
place, The peaches sold at $3.50
per dozen or 374 cents each, while
the plums brought So dozen. They
came long ways, and they are very
early it is true, but at these prices
we common mortals will have to wait
for the home variety, when we will
have them to throw at the birds.

THE COLLEGE GIRL OF TODAY
A Radient, Well Gowned. Athletic Great
ure, Ready II Need Be, TO Make
Her Own Eav

Prof. Katharine Lee Bates, of Welles-
ley, writing to the Boston Transcript.
contrasts the college girl of today with
the one Of twenty years ago.
Then the college girl was an exception
in her community. She was usually the
daughter of a struggling country minis
ter, missionary or a lecturer-that is to
say, she came from household of plain
living and high thinking. She was
stOOp shouldered, perhaps, and deficient
in social ease, but she took her mind
seriously.
Today Prof Bates finds the college
girl in the merry foreground of the stu
dent world, going to college for "the
life" She is well gOwned, athletic, "a
dient. She IS free from morbidness and
is not frightened over religious doubts.
She will be less easily imposed upon than
her mother by quackery in print or on
the platform.
In other words, to put it briefly, the
college girl of the period thinks in her
heart that youth, beauty, charm, the
genius for affairs, are the points that
count for a woman in the world. All Of
which means that college life does not
tend to destroy the eternal womanly'
but is developing a new and most inter
esting type Of it.
Prof. Bates speaks with regret of Ger
tain conditions In our women's colleges
as less favorable to mental activity than
those existing twenty years ago. But it
is doubtful whether conditions for men
tai activity were better then than now,
unless one limits those conditions to in
centives which come from books alone.
There is today mental stimulus IN
the air which no one can escape. The
press, the pulpit, as we'll as the school,
make vastly greater demands on the in
telligence than they did twenty years
ago
The result is a broader range of intel
Iectual activity and a closer hold on life
rather than on the written page. The
college girl is right in believing she will
find life" 10 the university instead Of
mere dead letters, aud it is exactly this
life which has transformed the college
girl from the book worm she may have
been twenty years ago to the brilliant
individual she Is today, ready for social
and intellectual affairs, and ready, if
need be, to make her own way in the
world Oh creditabIe lines.

ing, and almost invariably their views
have been adopted. Little attention
has been paid to those who have made
a study Of the science Of political econ
omy and taxation These were not sex
perts" So our tariff schedules have
been written by the beneficiaries- And
now We have reached the climax.
That the people understand the stu
alton we have no doubt. They have
seen that the wishes Of two republican
presi Tents, one of them the greatest
prOtectiOnist of our generation, the
overwhelming sentiment of the party
OF protection, the desires Of the Amer
lean people, the welfare Of the country
and the very salvation Of Cuba, are as
nothing when compared with the sup
posed necessity Of protecting a greedy
and Insignificant industry. After seven
months of effort, the campaign for fair
treatment of Cuba has broken down
1t is not simply that Cuba is not to
have her chance, not simply that the
American people are not to be relieved
Of a part of the burden of taxation, but
that the American congress is power
less to Iegislate when certain private
interests insist that it shall not legis-
late. So we say that the party nOmi-
nalIy in control is caught in its own
trap. It is not a question of duties or
schedules, but of principle.
/ OF course the old talk will continue
but it viii be from now on much more
difficult to make intelligent men be
lieve that protection is a great and
beneficent system the only object OF
which Is the general welfare of the
people. The thing is a unit and can
only be changed as a unit. So even
reciprocity is opposed, and Cuba, from
the present outlook, viii have to strug
gle along the best she can, and we shall
have to endure the disgrace of being
held up by few men who insist that
they shall be allowed to tax the Amer
lean people.

From Topeka Capital.
kansas Is harvesting a short wheat
crop this year." remarks the Spring
field Republican. This indicates the
marvellous progress Kansas has made
in recent years as 2 wheat state. Until
the last decade, and pretty late in that,
Kansas was known as the producer of
corn Wheat was, so to speak, a sec
ondary and incidental agricultural by
product. Up to 1897 Kansas had never
produced 80 million bushels of wheat
in a single year, with two exceptions.
The first crop to pass the 50 million
mark was that Of 1891 The wheat
crops Of the previous decade, from 1850
to 1890, averaged y million bushels a
year. Since 1896 Kansas has produced
above so million bushels in five out Of
the six years, and the aggregate crops
of these six years are about 80 million
bushels, or an average yearly product
Of over 80 million bushels. This year
it is estimated that Kansas has turned
out about 80 million bushels Of wheat,
and this is spoken Of by the welI-in-
formed Massachusetts, paper as "a
short crop'-fOr Kansas A short crop
of wheat for Kansas is a record breaker
for most of the leading wheat states Of
the Union.

In an editorial article under the cap
ton "a Lost Battle" y, the Indianapolis
News, one of the few really independ-
ent republican newspapers of the coun-
try, enters upon a discussion of the
situation of the republican party as re-
CARDS the tariff After referring to the
death Of the reciprocity measure the
/ News continues as follows:
The plain truth is that the republi-
can party is caught IN a net Of its own
weaving 1t dares not reduce the du-
| ties on sugar and tobacco lest the sen
ators representing those interests
should combine with the democrats
and reduce the duties on other outra-
geOusly protected products. There is
scarcely a protected interest in the
country that would not retaliate if its
protection were withdrawn. None of
them cares for protection as a system
or philosophy, but only a scheme out
of which it makes money. And if one
interest ceases to make money Out-of
it, or makes less money than it thinks
it ought to make, it would quickly and
gladly join with the enemies Of the
system to prevent any one else making
money out of it. It is pure seIishness
and greed that inspires che beet sugar
men and the rest. In this sense, there
fore, the whole tariff hangs together.
If the sugar duty were lowered, the
sugar senators would promptly unite
with the democrats to secure the low
ering or the removal of the duties on
steel, iron, wool, tinplate, cattle, etc,
and then what would become Of the
blessed tariff?
This is the possibility, or rather the
certainty that confronts those senators
land they are not few in number, we
are glad to believe), who seem to be
earnestly DESTROYS of doing the fair
thing by Cuba What they have to
think Of is the threatened reform Of the
tariff, not by its friends, but by its
] enemies, and we know that that is
something which no republican can
contemplate without a shudder. But
We know that as a matter of fact the
tariff, as now imposed, has no really
efficient friends except those who make
money out of it. And this being the
case, it viii never be reformed IN such
q way as to hurt any Of its friends"
The beet sugar people are thus, from
the proteetionist point Of view, wholly
within their rights. 1t has always
been the custom Of our prOtectiOnists
to allow the protected industries to
say just how much protection they
needed Republican ways and means

heads Of infant industries to testify as

TEST OF THE ANTI-FUSION LAW
As a result of the action Of the peo-
pies party state convention the anti
fusion law will be tested in the state
supreme court. A test case viii be
made on the state ticket, but a case
should also be made on the nOmina-
ton for congressman at-large, for then
it can be taken into the federal courts
and appealed, if need be, to the su-
preme court of the United States
There is no doubt that the law is I'm
constitutional, because it deprives the
citizen of his political rights Decent
republicans are ashamed of the law,
and some republican politicians have
been turned down already by their
own party for the part taken by them
in the enactment of this law, as they
we'll know that it is a violation of the
rights guaranteed by the constitution.
This law deserves to rank with the
bred Scott decision and the fugitive
slave law. 1t was conceived in the
brain of Burton who boosted in the
! campaign preceding the enactment of
the law that they-the republicans
would make fusion a penitentiary Of
Tense" This same gentleman is even
now, although United States senator,
persona non grata" at the white house
and his political influence in his own
party is like deaths head at feast. .
Whatever middle-Of-the-road popu-
lists may think of fusion, it affords an
opportunity to test the law by which
the republican legislature sought to
disfranchise the pOpulist party of the
state of Kansas.
How any pOpulist, that believes in
the principles of his party, can drift
back into the ranks Of the very party
that DISTINGUISHED him, to be a "hewe1
of wood and drawer of water" to the
end of his days, is beyond cOmprehen-
sion. 1t must be a case Of Ieeks and
onions.

The republican party was formed by
the fusion Of wings, abolitionists,' free
sellers and anti-slavery democrats in
1856. Prior to this the free sellers,
democrats and radical wings fused in
nearly all the northern states to over
come the Clay compromising wings.
In Massachusett, George S. Boutwell,,
an anti-slavery democrat, was elected
governor and Charles Sumner was sent
to the senate for the first time Sew
ard, Of New York, and Ben Wade, of
Ohio, doomed into prominence through
like political combination. In all the
southern states pOpulists and republi-
cans fuse against the democrats. The

Was Kept From Them.

Thomas and Willie Pettigrew. orphan
brothers, s and 9 years old, ran away from

walked all the way to st. Louis yesterday
morning to find their mother. not knowing
that she was dead. Instinctively they re-
turned to their old home at No. 23Os Wash

liceman was called in, and he took them to
the Ninth District Police Station. where
they were held until In agent for the

er was seized with q severe sickness. and
where she died two days afterward. When
she was taken away the children were left
in the care Of Mrs. Jennie Colk. who occu-
pies quarters in the same tenement, and
when the mother died the children wers
turned over to the Mayor for disposition.
and nothing was said to them of their
mothers death.
Mayor Wells committed them to the home
at kirkwood, instead Of to the House OF
Refuge. believing they would be better
treated than with O lot of children much
older. many of whom were convicted OF
crime.
Since the commitment the boys have been
planning to escape and return to their
mother. Their first opportunity came early
yesterday morning. and long before break
fast they had left the place and were trudg-
ing along to st. Louis, almost ten miles
distant.

they found their mother was dead and that
Mrs. Golk could not keep them. they ex-
pressed no unwillingness at returning to the
