A THRONE CRUMBLING.

Todays dispatches from the scenes
of internal troubles in Russia would
indicate that the pedestal of the
"Great White Gar" is crumbling;
that the oft repeated warnings, ur-
needed or treated with lighiness, were
not without foundation, and that a
popular uprising has now commenced
which in the end will revolutionize
the order of things in Russia and the
far east.
Enlightened humanity will. while
regrettipg the inevitable bloodshed
and carnage, welcome the reforms of
government that must follow.

Evidently Joey Cooke, the sit"

deems it his duty to jump into a con
troversy with this paper with his old
time froth of expletive and vituper-
alton. AS number of REPUTABLE
gentlemen have made complaint
about delayed mail from that office,
we prefer to take their statements as
the TRUTH, and treat Cookie state
ment as the feeble vaporings of
diseased mind, made weak by years
of debauchery and inflated to dis
gusting proportions by an abnormal

the newspapers don't adjust this mat

from Appleton is too low, or the rate
from Kansas City to Kansas points is
too high. The Kansas newspapers
are kind to the railroads and help
them in every just fight. The Kan

SEEING LONDON IN A FOG.
Efforts to View English Capital Are
Almost Useless as Most Days
Are Murky.

He knew his London we'll, de-
clares the National Magazine. We
went forth in fog that was of
pea-soup variety. 1t seemed use
less to wait any longer for it to
clear off. The days were all alike
and were darker than twilight

ford's coatsleeve, for l knew if he
were once to get beyond my reach
l could never hope to find him
again. We CROPPED blfndly among
the streets, where the atmosphere
was only less palpable than the
houses that walled us in. At in
tervals we inquired where we
were, for otherwise we could never
have known at all. We had to feel
our way carefully and take sound
ings at intervals. Here" said
Prentice, as we paused in space,
''here is Temple Bars | thought
saw something that might have
been the ghost of an arch hewn
out for the solid fog. The top of it,
though it was not lofty, was lost
to view. Temple Bar, now gone
forever from the place where it's
gates once swung in the wall of
the old city. 1t was here her gra-
cious majesty Victoria of Eng

of the city from the hands of the

not see the farther shore.
''Here is hr majesty's tower"
said Prentice, but nothing of it
was visible, not one stone upon
another We crossed London
bridge almost without knowing
it; the waters of the Thames,
which were but condensed fog,
were invisible from the parapet,
and the steam ferries were pick
ing their way cautiously and
looking very like marine monsters
In muddy aquarium. We
crawled through the tunnel for
foot traffic under the Thames,
which was like a hole in the fog,
and for hours carried the sky
about on our shoulders it was a
woolly, greasy and ill-smelling
sky. Our nostrils were clogged
, with cinders, like chimney flues,
and there were smudges all over
our faces. Sometimes for a mo.
ment or two we saw spot over
head that was like a pale red wa.
fer and we knew it for the sun, now
lost to us. The lamps that burned
all day were like glow-worms for
dlmness; and so we explored the
: wonders of the town and saw as
much of it as blind man sees. bat

Just One Case.

A great deal is said by railroad
newspapers about the justice of Kan
sas railroad rates, says the Emporia
Gazette. These papers may or may
not get so much per line for the truck
they write. But here is something
for them to chew on: The rate on
the last car of paper the Gazette
shipped from Appleton, Wis, was
A cents a hundred. The same car
of paper shipped to Kansas City from
Appleton, Wis, costs 20 cents per
hundred. The rate from Kansas
City to Emporia, a distance of one
hundred miles, Is four cents more
than the rate from Appleton, Wis.
to Kansas City distance of coo
miles. How do you get over, around
or about that iniquity?
Kansas newspapers are given tc
loud talk about the vices and virtue:
of various Kansas politicians. Re
form is supposed to depend upon the
election or defeat of this or that can
didate. Yet here is practical abuse
which the newspapers of Kansas are
standing, which costs paper like th'

rise hundreds of feet in the air and
reflect the burning sunlight; where no
breezes below either night or day,
and the internal regions are only a

people should be thankful that our
lines are drawn in more pleasant

precious than gold, and where the
hyenas of lust and averice are not

board of county commissioners con
corning some of the work done BY
them which they are not anxious fol
the public to know. We herewith
reproduce bis article, which woulc
not be worthy of notice. were it no
full of misstatements:
The DEMOCRAT tries to argue Itself
into the belief that the commissioners
In the capacity of board of equaliza.
ton has committed a grievous error
The DEMOCRAT says that all the pro-
ceedingS in regard to reduction of val.
uations were not put on record and
was not published. On inquiry of
County Clerk Ashpole we are told
that all the proceedings are a matter
of record and because the DEMOCRAT
was not enterprising enough to pub
Esh the proceedings in full is no fault
of the commissioners. The full pro-
eeedipgs we're published in the Item
and Register.
Now then the facts, without men,
tioning any names are these: The
day after the board adjourned, re-
preventative of this paper went to the
county clerks Office, (and we wish to
say Mr.. Ashpole has been very
gentlemanly in giving proceedings
and information and took off the
proceedings as they were found. The
next day our attention was called to
an omission by party who happened
to know what had transpired, and we
asked the clerk if a certain reduction
had been made. He said it had, and
when asked why it was not on the
munites, we understood him to say
the board instructed him not to put it
on. Since then he has said that
what he meant to tell US, and thought
he told US, was that it was there but
not for publication. This then does
not relieve the board from the charge
of having acted wrong in the matter.
1t is not question of the correctness
of the reduction, but the manner of
hiding it after it was made. If it is a
part of the proceedings andxany part
of them are published, it Should be
published. If this sort of work is
carried on every person will have to
call at the clerks Office and read the
minutes to know what has been done.
Brother Clark says the full pro-
ceedings were publishedin his papers.
That is incorrect, or our eye sight is
poor. We will buy him a new $500
hat if he will show US in either of his
publications where the reduction re-
ferred to, is published, and if he
don't know which one it is, he can
ask the clerk. 1t has NOT been
published in his papers, our
papers, or the official county paper

ANlMPORTANT DECISION
U. s. Supreme Court Sus-
tains Fellow Ser
want Law

Washington, Dec. 18.-In an opin-
ion by Justice holmes, the supreme
court Of the United States today up.
held the validity of the Minnesota
state law. holding railroad companies
responsible for Injuries done to en-
ployes through the carelessness Of 9TH
or employees.
The case was that of the Minnesota
Iron company Va. Mark NJ. Kline.
Kline was the engineer of train on q
road in st. Louis county, owned by
the iron company, and was injured
through the failure of q brakeman to
set q switch. The jury in the trial
court brouaht in q verdict for $5, coo.
but. at this junoture. the court took
the case into it's own hands and or.
dered that the verdict be set aside. on
the ground that the state law,
awarding damages to the servants OF
corporations because of carleesness on
the part of their fellow servants, ls
unconstitutional.
The state supreme court reversed
this finding and ordered that the ver-
dict of the jury be carried into eff ct.
That decision was affirmed today.

MAIL ROUTE ROADS
Postal Department Saws
Rural Carriers Must
Have Good Road

We quote from 8 circular issued by
the postal department in regard to the
condition of roads. It is entitled
"When Roads are Bad
The department looks to patrons
and road officials to see that the
highways covered by rural routes are
maintained in such condition that
they can be travelled in all seasons.
Indifference and neglect in this mat
ter will be considered a sufficient
cause for withdrawal of rural services
from community.
"A rural carrier is not expected to
seriously lmperil his life or his ami.
mails. nor to endanger the United
States mails or his equipment, in an
attempt to serve his route under ex-
tEaordinary conditions of weather.
LAT such times the carrier must re-.
port at the pc stoffice at the regular
hour and make reasonable effort to
serve the route. If some portions of
same are found to be absolutely i'm
passable, q carrier is allowed to deviate
from the official route to such extent
~ may be necessary to reach all pa.
irons by other roads, provided only a
partial service could be given where
no deviation made.
