RAILROADS sTRANGLING
PARTY.

IFrom the Leavenworth Timesl
The railroads dictated A D. Walkers
nomination in a defiant manner, in face
of protests from the large organized
commercial and industrial interests of
the state.
It is time that Republicans wake up
to the serious position in which the
party in Kansas. at least. is placed.
The men who are responsible seem to
be unable to profit by past experience.
It was against the corporations that
the people turned when the state went
Populist- At that time here was no
organization of business interests OPP
posed to the railroads. It was the
farmers alone. Now the commercial
and the industrial interests of the state
have pooled issues and are asking re-
lief from the greed of the railroads and
corporations. If it is not afforded by
the Republican party they will turn to
that party which does promise it. They
are in no mood to be triaed with
The stock raisers of the south and
west, the farmers of the east. the coal
operators in the southeast. prominent
shippers and business men of all par
ties Joined in asking the state conven-
ton for the privilege of naming two
of the railroad commissioners, a re-
quest which should have been granted.
but the railroads had a strangle hold
on the convention and a deaf ear was
turned to the thousands of votes which
these allied interests represent 1t was
a most grievous mistake, and one
which viii be recognized. the Times
believes, after it is too late.
The railroads and their managers are
sFangling the Republican party in
Kensas. and it is high time to call
ttem er before it is done to death.

Tribune adds: 1.-The picture is not in
the slightest degree overdrawn. With
the Canadian and British North Ameri-
can forests filled with almost linitless
quantities of woods suitable for the
manufacture of pulp, the present 1egis-
lation appears to have been enacted
with view to the destruction of the
American forests and the continued i'm
position of an unjust tax on the Ameri-
can citizen with his newspaper, maya
zine or book and on his child with Its
school books. The price now demanded
from the publishers of papers. maya
zines and books of all sorts is unreason-
able extortionate and of no possible
benefit to the treasury of the United
States, for the tariff duties are abso-
luteIy prohibitory. nor to any person or
persons save the owners and controllers
of the wood pulp and paper combines. !"

COME ROME-FIVE BABIES
Astonishing Message to the Father
of Quintuplets

Pittsburg. Pa, March 16.-"Come
home at once. Annie has five babies.
They are all boys. They were born
this morning, and Annie and the ba-
bies are well.'
David Swope, the husband of Annie,
was perched about 125 feet above the
Allegheny river when he received this
message He was engaged in tying a
strand of the Wabash bridge, and had
he not been supported by his comrades
when he opened the message he would
have fallen into the stream.
why did she do it?' he moaned, as
his fellows revived him. 'All boys, And
we wanted a. housekeeper!'
Turning to the boss of the job, Swope
asked that he be given his time, and
he left this afternoon for Fulton coGn-
ty, Pa, to see his five boys.

The total value of the exports from
the United States to Europe in 1903 was
81, 029, 256, 900: to North America. $215,-
4s3. 600; to South America. $41. 1ss, 900; to
Asia. SOS, 35s, 900; to Oceania. $37, ass, 600;
and to Africa, $3S, 437 ,00O Considering
the exports by countries, the largest to-
tai is to the United Kingdom, $524,263,-
600; the next largest to Germany, $685.
s42, eco; and to Canada, $123, 267. 900.
Comparing conditions in 1903 with those
of 1873, the exports have grown from
$50 million dollars to 1.420 millions. in
Guiding domestic products and foreign
merchandise re-exported. Agricultural
products of course still form the largest
group of exports, amounting to 1913 mil
lion dollars in 1908. or 63 per cent of the
total while manufactures amount to 407
millions or % per cent of the total
Manufactures are, however, gaining
rapidly upon agricultural products in
the share which they form of the total
exports In 1880 agricultural products
formed SO per cent and manufactures
but 1919 per cent of the total exports of
domestic products, while in 1903 as al
ready indicated, agricultural products
formed So per cent and manufactures
over % per cent of the total The value
CT domestic manufactures exported had
never reached so much as 100 million
dollars prior to 1876. and in 1896 for the
Grst time crossed the 200 million dollar
line Since 1896. however, the growth
has been rapid, the total exceeding 300
millions in 1899, passing the 400 million
dollar line in 1900, and remaining above
400 millions constantly since that date,
with a prospect that the total exports
of manufactures for the fiscal year 1904
will exceed in value those of any pre-
vious year.

THE Por AMP THE KETTLE.

The Topeka Capital this morning is
severe on Democratic methods at the
ST. Louis primaries of Saturday last,
saying:
THE primaries are now on and the
state machine with its metropolitan
police system controlling elections by
force and fraud, Is getting in very ef-
fective work against the st. Louis re :
former. Missouri Republicans may have
show TO make their prophecies of the
last twenty years or more good TINS
year and carry the state, if Folk is
beaten for the nomination at he bids
fair to be by methods that would dis
grace Mississippi or South Carolina.
The Capital quotes approvingly the
following paragraph from the ST. Louis
Republic:
NO good citizen can read the story
of the Democratic primaries in St.
Louis last Saturday without recognize
ing that new issue has been created
of graver character and higher import
ance than any question OF partisan
of outrage and infamy-outrag COM
pletely thwarting private right and
personal liberty"
What about the beam in the Kansas
Republican eye.
How proud the Capital is of the work
of the primaries in Jackson county, in
Miami county, in Wyandotte county.
The will and votes of the voters COM
pletely set aside-as completely as the
majority is outcounted in Mississippi
and South Carolina.
The regular result in our counties
was simply and boldly set aside by
force and fraud-and then the shame
lessness of it! Even Ed Hoch's stonl-
ach which had gulped Kelly; revolted
at the action of his own convention
and appealed for a primary law which
would prevent delay and disgrace at
future party conventions.

QUESTION OF PRICE.
That Is All There Is to Colom-
bias Canal Suit.


Paris. March 16.-The case OF the re-
public of Colombia against the Panama
Canal company, to prevent the trans
fer of the latter's concession to the
United States was resumed today be-
fore the first tribunal of the Siene. The
former president of the tribunal Maitre
Dubuit continued his argument in be-
half of the company's right to sell its
concession to the United States.
The initiative of these negotiations
for the sale did not come from us, but
from the government of Colombia" ex-
claimed NJ Dubuft. Counsel further as
serted that the republic of Panama
was fully organized as a sovereign
state.
In closing NJ. Dubuit made the fol-
lowing significant query:
why should we solicit your consent,
when your authority ceased to exist?
Let us speak frankly. 1t is a question
of price, is 1t not? And it is best that
we do not discuss that branch of the
question"
Maitre Guillium, representing Bona
parte Wise. the original conceSsionaire,
pointed out to the court that the civil
tribune of the Siene decided March 16,
1902, that the company could make the
transfer. but limited the time until
March 4, 1903. He insisted that this de-
cision prevented the transfer to the
United States after the latter date.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
M. Dubuit's statement that Colom-
bias consent to the transfer was a
question of price. was much comment

WALNUT ORCHARDS.
Acreage in California Is Increasing
With Rapid Strides.

The first English walnut orchard in
California was planted with seed from
the Los Angeles mission gardens,
where the padres had started a few
trees with nuts brought with them
from Spain. The undertaking was a
success from the first, and the acreage
of walnuts has steadily increased
slowly at first. but now with rapid
strides. The walnut trees early age
of bearing, its long life and the steady
demand for it's product tend to make
the enterprise deservedly popular. Al
ready it is superseding the orange in
favor among fruit growers.
The walnut tree begins to bear when
six or seven years old, and nothing is
known definitely of it's age limit of
bearing. Fabulous stories are told of
trees in Spain one or two centuries old,
bearing enormous crops. The oldest
trees in California are still bearing.
but deductions from the short history
already made show that the tree is in
its prime from its twenty fifth to its
thirtieth year. Fifteen hundred pounds
of nuts to the acre is a good average
yield, making seveny-five pounds the
average weight from one tree.
The harvest time begins about the
middle of September. and lasts nearly
six weeks. The nuts begin to fall with
the leaves. and the perfect cultivation
under the trees leaves no chance for
them to lose themselves among clods
or weeds. The brown, dead leaves alone
hide the nuts. Under normal cond1-
lions they drop free from the outer
husk. or hull. through its irregular
bursting. and getting the nuts picked
up is a simple matter. Sometimes the
trees are we'll irrigated just before
harvest time to insure the clean
dropping of the nuts.
Boys and girls, men and women.
japanese and Chinese. are all pressed
into service. and on hands and knees
the great orchards are gone over, not
once, but several times, on account of
the irregular ripening of the nuts. The
trees are occasionally shaken during
the season to loosen the nuts, and be-
fore the last cleaning they are ''poled"
to start the very tardy ones. This is
done by long, coarse. bamboo poles,
whose light weight makes them easily
handled.
In certain rural districts the public
schools close regularly for walnut
vacation" The help of the children is
needed, and the children are nothing
loath to reDlenish their diminished
purses. Pals, cans and gunnysacks
are scattered among the pickers, and
when the bags are full they are car
ried to the drying grounds, where they
are spread out on Stat trays to dry

The Hog as a Forester.

There are innumerable minor inf1u-
ences that come in for the forester 8
consideration, and what is recommend
ed in one instance is discouraged III
the next. Taking the matter of graz
ing in a forest. Throughout the more
extensive woodlands of the middle west
run thousands of wild or semi-wild
hogs. In this Tennessee forest it was
recommended that every possible effort
be made to exterminate these, for the
reason that they eat the mast AMI thus
prevent the growing of young trees
from the seed. But in the working
plan before mentioned it is advised
that hog grazing be encouraged The
reason for the difference is this: TIL :
former forest is chiefly mast bearing
hardwood. The latter is mainly pine.
and what hardwood there is in mix
ture serves as a hindrance to young
pine growth. Therefore in this forest
the presence of hogs which eat the
mast and check the hardwood is a BEN
eft: while l.. the other. where hard
wood is the staple, the animals are a
ruiSance.-F,rom Outing.
