Few men who have served the Unit
ed States senate have been more i'm
proved by their soiourn in that digui-
fled body than Senator Tillman Of
South Carolina. The first two or
three years that he wore the toga he
was an object of positive ridicule
throughout the press of the country.
"Tnman's pitchrork" was everywhere
in evidences and his uttCranCos had a
positively red hot siz2lo, so clearly did
they betollen the fire eater. Gradual
Ily, however he has assumed saner
and more digniticd attitude on public
questions and he is gaining IA wide
measure of esteem from his colleagues
as man devoid of physical or moral
| fear, who does not hesitate to speak
for any subject with which he is in
sympathy. nor to plainly and vigorous
| ly attack any subject with which he
| thinks the country at large will suf-
fer. He has somewhat curbed the vio-
lence of his temper and the keenness
of his denunciatory tongue, without
losing his native power, and he is in
every respect growing man in his
party and one who is gaining the re.
spect of those outside his party.

FAKE WEATHER PROPHETS.

Hicks says there will be a cold wave
the latter part of this month Remark
able, remarkable prediction! The
weather bureau of the United States
has hard enough time predicting the
weather twenty-four hours ahead,
without venturing into months and
years, but this imposter Hicks finds
no trouble in setting forth many, many
days in advance, just what sort of
weather will occur But, be 1t said to
the credit of the intelligent people OF
the United States as a whole, they
are year by year coming more and
more to know chat the absurd predic,
tions of a long-distance prophet" are
fakes from beginning to end, and to
realize too, that the scientific work
being carried on by the United States
government is the only accurate
weather forecasting that is done.
The weather can not be predicted
more than forty-eight hours in ad
vance, because storm areas, and areas
of high pressure in the air are Great
ed suddenly, in various portions of the
earth, depending upon many condi
tions of the atmosphere And occa
sionally the weather man misses his
forecast because unforeseen areas turn
up from parts of the country which
have no telegraph instruments and
from which, therefore, it is impossible
to get reports on the atmospheric con
ditions, For instance, if an area OF
storm were TO come down from north

1t is admitted that W. j. Bryan will
be nominated by the democrats for
president. 1t is probable that w. r.
Hearst will be the democratic nomi
ee for vice president. The Kansas City
journal says uf him:
Hearst is an anomaly. Firmly en-
trenched behind his money bags, and
relying upon his gold and his yellow
newspapers to accomplish his pur-
poses, he yet advocates social dissolu
tion, and is bending every influence
at his command to bring about chaos
IN this country. He stands as the
demlgod of destruction. He lends his
name to every form of discomfort that
seeks his patronage. 1t makes no
difference whether it is the Munich
pal Ownership party the Indepen-
dent League, the Liberty party or
plain out-and out socialism, he is al
ways ready to welcome the leaders to
his banner, and all this conglomera-
tion is recognized generally as the
'Hea1st party. ~

Abusing Public Utilities.

You abuse the railroads and the re-
frigerator car lines, and the packing
companies, but, as matter of com
mon sense, what would we do without
them? Where would the west have
been without the railroads? What
would become of the farmers of Atch-
ison county if the railroads would
stop hauling their stock to the pack
ing houses? Atch1son county cattle
are shipped to Kansas City or ST. Joe,
killed, packed in refrigerator cars and
sent to the eastern stetes for con-
sumption. What would become of the
berry raisers around Wathena if there
we're no railroads equipped with re-
frigerator cars? Though the winter we
eat fresh vegetables and fruits from
warmer regions by the grace of Tefrig
orator cars and railroads Poultry
and poultry products never brought
better price than they do now, all
because the railroads and their reffig
orator cars open market for them
You cuss the sugar trust. The writer
remembers very distinctly of being
-sent TO country store with twenty
five cents to buy two pounds of coffee
sugar, and it was thought to be very
cheap, because not long before that,

be tool about these things. Figure
out it and see see if you are not a
whole lot better off than you imagine
you are, and that the railroads and
the packing houses are not running the
country to the devil near as fast as
you think. .-Atchison Globe.
