STATEMENT DY CLEMENT.

The Hon. J.. W. Clement said to-nisht
The vote on the local option bill to-day
was not as large as We expected, it fell
below that at the general election, but il
is more difficult to get the people out
to vote on an abstract question than to
vote for candidate representing a prin-
Ciplc, consequently | do not believe the
vote to-day represents the entire scnti-
mcEt of the State on this question. But
the principle is established and there has
been a great change III sentiment during
the last year We have had ~ years of
prohibition and that has been the condi-
ton under which the present generation
has grown up. II has been a great under
taking to change the sentiment in one
year. We had no organization whatever
and We had to go out and make one. All
tho politicians have been against us until
within a month, | believe the feeling in
favor of the system will increase as
license bar rooms are instituted in the
different cities and towns and the people
see the effect of the law. | also believe
that the people will come TO the opinion
that the new law is in the interest OF
good morals and good government. II
has been great victory"

THE WIZARD STILL AT WORK.

While the world does not hear so much OF
Thomas Edison in these days the Wizard seems
to be serenely developing his ideas and giving them
tangible FORM while he relies upon secrecy to pro-
tect himself T. C. Martin has interesting sketch
of Mr.. Edison in the current number of Harper's

obtained for every invention OF Importance. The

Mr. Edison does not work with the fierce energy

JUST LIKE KANSAS CITY.

Down in Buenos Ayres the papers feel that they
have to complain of the manner in which
a correspondent of the Trade Journal of Kansas
City has treated the Argentine people The wander
ing Munchausen who wrote to the Kansas City
paper related that the Argentine ladies did not wear
hats, that all the gentlemen wore ponchos in the
streets that the trains stopped half hour at each
station and that the people and animals eat to-
getheri Worse than this, the "Argentines eat rats
Almost plaintively the Buenos Ayres Herald re-
marks:
1t would surprise the editor of that paper to be
told that Buenos Ayres could give Kansas City points
in the way of fashion. dress, wealth and the ele
gance of polite society, wealthy and great as we
know that city to be; but this is literally the truth
any knowing both cities would admit without
the least question. If that description had been
written and applied to Kansas City, it would have
been as true and fair as applied to this city
try. We can understand how monumental liar
might wish to make his acquaintance stare at the
wonderful things he had seen, but do wonder
that the editor of serious paper should print such
rubbish, for a moment allow himself to believe
it had the most remote resemblance to truth; and
all this he might know if he would have looked
at any of a dozen papers printed in this city.

AMERICAN MILLERs' PERIL.

There is an end of all things and for unjust mea-
sureeg and men there is quicker termination So
think the miIIerg of this and country and with
this theory in view for application they are prepar
ing to take an aggressive STEP They have been
cornered and must now fight go out Of business
All this injustice is brought about by class ieglS-
lation and discriminating freight rates on railroads
1t is the fault Of congress in that that legislative
body has never welded the power with which 1t IS
endowed for the preservation of the countrys sec
ond largest manufacturing industry
The case as it stands is thus: The railroads
haul export wheat for two cents less on the hundred
pounds than they will carry flour. Only one foreign
country has failed to put high duty on American
-four This allows mers in foreign countries that
have high tariff on the American product, to I'M
port wheat from Kansas and other states OF Amer
lea, grind it with cheap labor and sell II cheaper
than American -four be sold in the same couh-
trv One-half the milling business done in America
is for export trade. If the present discrimination
is continued this loss means that onehah the capi
tal invested in mills must become worthless, aoors
chances for living be diminished and all this while
a home tariff is protecting the corporations that
are helping to effect these results.
In the first week of June at Detroit Mich, the
miIlerg are going to hold mass convention and
take active measures toward relieving this serious
situation We are confident in saying that they Will
accomplish their purpose. The people are in SYM
pathy with them and so imminent state Of affairs
