RAILROAD RIDING IN KANSAS.
(Kansas City Times.)

The Noftzger cent fare bill, which
finally passed both houses of the Kan
sas legislature, provides that a 500
mile ticket can be purchased for $40.
The ticket is good over a single line of
road, and is not transferable. The
Kansas farmer with a family of five
can travel with his wife and children
for 2 cents a mile; but he must pay
the railroads $50 for the privilege of
doing it-thanks to the railroad
senate.

AN IRREPREsslBLE CONFLICT.
youths Companfon.)

For time it was supposed that the
relations betwewen the states and the
nation had been permanently adjusted
by the Civil war. 1t has lately been i'm
pressing itself on the minds of the
people that the war decided only the
indissolubility of the Union, and that
the old conflict between the national
power and state rights still continues.
1t is Of great importance that the
men of the present and coming gener-
ations should give serious thought to
these things, so that when they vote
they may express their opinion with
intelligence. The general question is
between a centralized government, su-
preme in all matters that concern the
people Of the whole country, and con-
troll in local concerns by the state
governments, even when the whole
How far can or ought the national
government to go in the regulation of
large corporations chartered by one
state, but doing business in other
states? Should it interfere in the
management Of manufacturing as we'll
as transportation companies? If in
ternatiOnal complications arise be-
cause a state refuses to exercise it's
power over affairs within it's borders,
shall the national government, acting
for the general good, step in and try
to set things right?
Such are some Of the recent forms
in which the old political question
reappears for decision 1t was the
issue on which Thomas Jefferson de-
feated John Adams for the presidency
in 1900. The conflict over it led to
notification in the time of President
Jackson, and finally to secession in
1860.
On the whole, the national power
has been greatly extended as the re-
suit of successive contests, yet every
statesman will admit that there must
be a limit beyond which the national
authority cannot be carried, or the
jurisdiction Of the state governments
restricted. The question is, where is
that limit, and it is upon that that
parties have divided from the begin
ming, and will long continue to con-
front each other.

two men were killed in a riot of 1000
men. Harry Orchard began his series of

EOriginai.l
Une OF the nreanest tricks ever play.
W by a mother to get rid OF d baby

AZ guileIeas as the baby itself. Walter

friends goodby. AS the train began to
move slowly out and Walter was rails

Walter took the box, and the lady,
seizing the guard rail as 1t passed, step
ped on the car and was carried away.
Then Walter looked at the box. 1t was
tne size Of shirt box probably had
been shirt box-an without wrapper
Or string. At one end he noticed hole
half an inch in diameter. The weight
was about ten pounds. But what star
tied the young man was that there was
no address. Then he was more startled
still at sound that came from with
In. 1t was like a child's toy lamb
bleating Walter removed the cover,
and there, buried In hannels and lnce,
was newly born baby.
One Of the station men was passing,
and Walter called to him.
Say, here's box young woman
who has gone out on that train handed
me, asking me to see that 1t was deliv-
cred. There isn't any address on it,

The man went on. Walter carried the
box to the station masters Office,
where he told his story and requested
that the official take the box of his

turned to other duties.
Walter went into the waiting room.
The toy lamb bleatlng began again.
Walter took the cover Off the box to
stop the noise, which was attracting
the suspicious attentions Of waiting

"4' ought to be ashamed d your
self said the other to Walter. .'The
child's hungry. Where is Its mofher?'
Gone In the last train" And again
Walter told the story.
''Has she deserted youg' asked wo-
man who came up only in time to hear
the end OF 1t.
That's cock and bun yarn" said
another. It's a contemplate way Of
trying to get rid Of your poor helpless
offspring"
Walter fed, called a cab and took the
baby to his own bachelor quarters.
There he called upon his landlady, who
procured bottle, warmed some milk,
fed the child and put 1t to bed--in Wal
ters room. Leaving the door ajar so
that the landlady could hear the little
one cry, Walter went out and applied
at the founding asylum to have 1t
taken in. In the first place they were
full, and In the second they did not
propose to have man put baby upon
them that he was abundantly able to
take care Of himself, under preteDse
that 1t was not his child. Walter went
back to bis room and with the help OF
the landlady continued to take care
Of the founding from day to day,
month to month.
Walter said nothing to any one about
the baby. He was expecting to be-
come engaged and dreaded lest some
linking OF his having child In his
keeping might get out and his story be
disbelieved. One day his married sis
ter, Mrs. Brown. called at his room TO
see him. With her was Miss Charles,
to whom he was engaged. Mrs. Brown
insisted on going up to Walters room
and taking his iiancee with her to see
what a bachelors quarters were like.
The landlady, as instructed, guarded
the way, but Mrs. Brown was deter
mined woman and forced II. In com
pany with Miss Charles, she entered
Walters room, and there, asleep on the
bed, was the baby. Miss Charles went
home and wrote to Walter for an ex-
PLANTATION. or course his tale was not
believed, and the engagement was bro
ken.
Walter had standing advertisement
in q newspaper that the lady who had
left baby in box with gentleman
at the station could have it-no proof
Of property required-by addressing b.
472, Office Of the paper. The day after
the breaking Of his engagement, while
he was In his room finishing bis toilet
for dinner, the landlady came up with
who should 1t be but the young wo-
man who had put her baby of on him.
Seeing the child on a lounge pulling
away at Its bottle, she rushed fran
ticaliy to 1t and snuggled 1t to her
bosom.
There Is another story. which need
not be given here, though it may be
well to mention that II is story Of
young married woman driven to des.
peration by worthless husband. He
died suddenly. The young mother
came into a small property and was
