There is very little comfort in that for the less fortunate 1,599. Succi, the faster, lacks only five days of completing as long a term of ab stineuco from food as did Dr. Tanner in life famous effort of forty days. But Succi lacks it all of establishing the theory he started out to demonstrate, i. a, that man can live without food in definitely. It is a significant fact that Kansas papers wliir.h rwenived invitations to httunU tho Pulitzer building ccremonicSj the Wicbica EAGLE was the ouly one invited to the champagne supper. Topeka Capital. On the contrary, the Eagle has reason to believo that the Capital is the only paper in the state that did not receive fcuch a bid. JOINT KEEPERS PINED. Since the first of the present month twenty-one fines of $50 each have been im posed by Police Judge Leland on the keepers of tippling shops. In several in stances one person has been fined two or more times. Four tippling-shop keepers were fhied $50 each today. They were Terry Grogan, James Hall. John O'Brien and D. C. Quick. Kansas City Gazette. Twenty-one and four more, at 50 each, makes $1,230, or a low license, col lected by a city in a prohibition state in ten davs. That is not so bad, so far as hundred, and a concert-room, not to ex ceed a sealing capacity of five thousand, with a large organ, for players from everywhere to exhibit their skill. Be sides the special compliment to Spain, he would give orders to distinguished com posers of other nations for works, so as to secure a variety of styles.

The Democracy need a full-blooded race horse like David B. llill, not a .slow En glish roadst or like Grover Cleveland, to win the president'al race of 3802. Topeka Democrat. "Which being interpreted means you recognize that your party will not have a "walk over" in the next national cam paign, as 3ou would have' the country believe. A frank confession. Senator-elect Gordon, it is said, now proposes to join the Alliance. After de feating that organization, or party, in its stronghold it would be virtually ac knowledging that his victory was equiv alent to a defeat, and an acknowledg ment that he was wrong. In receiving mg city not half as much as would bo collected under a high licenso system it is ten thousand times too much to be collected in a town of a state whose political bosses swear for three months during every campaign that prohibition is a success and a complete triumph in Kan sas. If these boss liars would but qual ify their declaration by saying that prohibition is an cntiro success in some portions of Kan sas, and then add, parenthetically, the uncultivated prairie portions, they would deceive nobody. The fact of the enforcement or non-enforcement of pro hibition hi any? town in Kansas, or in the state of Maine, determines at once the relative commercial importance of that town. Maine has had prohibition for more than a quarter of a century, yet nobody could be found who would say that in eithor of the two important commercial cities of Maine any pretense is made of enforcing the prohibitory law. As the fair is two or three vears off, however, the Chicago commissioners could very well postpone this question for a while, and discuss more pressing problems, among wluc'i might be men tioned the beginning of the building work, and the gathering in of the money necessary for that purpose. JOHNNY AND THE PENNY POST. Troublo is still the lot of the baseball men. Despite the general belief that the war has been brought to an end, with the National League on top, the final set tlement of the difficulty is yet far away. It is now the victors who are at variance, quarreling over the distribution of the spoils. There will havo to be much live ly work if tho difficulties are adjusted bcloro the opening of the next season. It is asserted that nearlj- two-thirds of tho Irish members of tho English parlia ment aro opposed to Parnell as leader of the Irish National party. This circum stance, if true, placed in contrast with the fact that the Irish people aro almost unanimously in favor of Parnell, makes it appear that the opposition to the great leader is not without suspicion that jeal ousy and envy aro playing a conspicuous part. London's strike does not seem to havo assumed serious proportions as yet, and it is said that the striking steamship em ployes are not all in accord with each other. It is sincerely to bo hoped that 'hero will not bo a repetition of tho '.roubles that attended the dock strikes a few months ago. Tho existing diffi culties ought to bo settled before such extremities as then existed aro ar rived at. It is learned from outside papers that "tho Hessian fly is doing considerable daraago to the growing wheat in South ern Kansas." If this is true somebody ought to notify Prof. Snow and secure from him some of tho fly exterminator. But thero seems to bo no information in this portion of tho district named con cerning tho presenco of tho lly or any other menace to tho wheat crop, which, by tho way, is phenomenally fine for tho season. A niimlinr fC Hin rvS1iiTititn rmrvna rf him to membership the Alliance will j " t ' manifest a semi-divine attributoof stoop- "-'. " i'"y '" ing to conquor. anything else, havo beon for weeks Jiownug over tho non-entorcement of the prohibitory law in Kansas City, Kan., one of these papers roundly abusing Governor Humphrey for not enforcing it. Thero is just one way of doing it, or of making it possible to be done, and that is, by killing tho place commer cially by stopping its growth and shut ting off its enterprise. There is no other way. So lone: as Kansas City, Kansas, continues to grow and spread and increase and deepen her com mercial foundations as a center of popu lation, just so long will be found within her corporato limits tho distinctive char acteristics of such centers. If it were otherwise, statutory law could be sub stituted for the Bible, and the policeman and his club would take the place of the church and of tho preachers, and thus humanity would bo saved from its frail ties and appetites, from its wickedness and moral delinquencies, by the simple edict of a police commissioner behind whom would be only tho purities of hu man law. We aro not going to say that the surest indication that a town is finished, and that all of its further possibilities have flown when these characteristics of growth and importance aro no louger visible or possible within its limits; but we do say that a man will mako just as much money, and no more, by investing in one of theso high moral burgs today as fifty years hence. Such towns as Kansas City or any other growing city cannot afford to ignore tho money and tho enterprise of peoplo who lack some particular moral status. But that our laws forbid thero are communities in Kansas today so lost to tho truth that prohibition is a great success that they would welcome to their towns both of tho breweries located in Omaha since November -1th, and each of which, breweries, is to cost one million of dollars. Just as liko as not that is truo. Thero aro men in "Wichita, and women too, who aro not a bit too good to welcome anything in tho way of big enterprises, not forbidden by the laws of tho country, and "Wichita is not collect ing a cent, today, in tho way of liquor license, either. There are a number of towns in Kan sas that havo given over all their ambi tion to become cities. They are subsid ing, rapidly, in population nnd in values. A lot in them is not worth as much to day as it will be fifty years hence, but which is not one-fourth what such lot would havo brought four years ago. It is all right for theso towns to mako a strenuous effort to onforco tho prohibitory law. Thev aro but country towns, will never be anything else, and they can with the necessary effort not only enforce the pro hibition law, but render their places noted for morality and sobriety. It is tho undoubted duty of tho peoples of such places to do this earnestly and hon estly. But when it comes to their more prosperous and enterprising neighbors, in the name of all that's decent and fair, don't demand impossibilities. We know Georgo Martin to bo as strict and as con scientious a prohibitionist as can be found in tho state, but thero is thorefore no sense in a lot of dood-town editors abusing him and tho officials of Kansas daily for failing to enforce a law which enforces itself by the mere weight of sen timent in towns whoso people havo little elso to think aboutor sentimentalize over. In his annual report Postmaster-Gen eral Wanainakcr reviews his recom mendation for a reduction in the rate of postage and is understood to bo person ally urging the change upon the admin istration and the postal committee of congress. 'Everyone would of course welcome a reform, provide I the cheap ening of rates did not effect the efficien cy of the service nor check the increas ing of facilities. But tho improvement of the postal service and the reduction of rates of postage do not seem to be prac ticable at the same time, and it is much more desirable to improve than to cheapen tho service. Mr. "Wauamaker admits that if this plan of one cent postage was adopted it would lead to a deficit in the postofBce department of 23,000,000 a year, but holds that in a relatively short time this would be made good. Ifc hardly seems probable, however, that this reduction would so increase the business of the postoffice as to mako good such an enor mous deficit. Mr. "Wanamaker thinks the advantages to the people resulting from this cheap postage would more than offset the bur den of that amount upon the general tax levy. The present rate of two cents is, however, by no means extortionate, and the masses of people do not find it a bur den, and would preter that tho amount necessary to cheapen postage would bo expended on improvingUhe postal service instead of being used to make good the deficit resulting from the cheapening. One of the most imperative needs of tho rountry is the prompt repeal of tho Mc Kinley law. Atchibon Champion. A desirable consummation, to bo sure; lint in point of interest to tho whole country as affording immediate relief it U of small consequence as compared to Iho enactment of some measure that will relieve tho financial btress by restoring confidence and giving tho country more money. Tho prico of an article 13 of httlo concern to the man who has no money with which to buy; neither is it tf paramount interest to the man who has plonty of money. Dr. O. P. Pico, of Atchison, claims to havo evolved a method by which rainfall may Ikj had at will. Tho Champion kives a brief statement from the doctor nf the modus operandi which is. in brief, tho exoreke of will power by the com munity unitedly. Of course, tho doctor will scout the idea of theo '"being any thing akin to hypnotism or tho faith cure theory in it, but it evidently belongs to that class of theories. Whalover the possibilities of tho plan if tho necessary condition could lo brought about, it is safe to say that tho plan will fail because of the impossibility to secure such nec rssary conditions. An interesting decision has lately been rendered by the supremo court of In diana. In the case of Henry vs. Squier, tho court held that the tenant of a store room with a leaking roof which the landlord had agreed to repair, could not voluntarily permit his goods to remain in tho building and suffer damages from such leaks, and then recover from the landlord the amount of the damages. The court said that it was tho duty of a tenant in such a case to protect his stock by making such repairs as were necessary himself, and then to offset tho cost thereof against hi3 rent.

If that scheme is consummated it would moan the loss to him of his ofiico of king and support by that country, and the latter it is believed, is all thnt hn wnnM in quire in consideration of hi.s giving up tho former. Magnanimous magistrate. Rev. Bornard Kelly is somewhat sub merged jn the soup Two of the Popub lican nominees for representative in Sedgwick county wre defeated. They ere both R&mbinissionists. Tho Dem ocratic party of this county which lias howled iteolf hoarso for resubmission whenever they saw anything in way of nu aflice practically defeated those re-submi-ssionists by giving aid and comfort to the Alliance. It is said thut while Kelly made no speeches in "Wichita, he made a good many about Wichita, none of which wore complimentary, and that ho was also a factor or sprung some of his puppets and pulled some of his pro hibition wires in the interest of one or two of Alliance candidates, or in other words, that if it hadn't been for Mr. Kelly and his baokers here, lngalls would havo had two more votes from Sedgwiok county. WORLD'S FAIR TROUBLES. Somo correspondent who seems not only acquainted with the Indians, but knows Buffalo Bill, writes as follows touching General Miles' war with the Indians. A war that seems wholly on paper and in which thero will bo no bloodshed unless the Indians aro forced into it, and a war that was inaugurated by the presidential bee buzzing in Gen eral Miles' bonnet: It always highly amuses mo to see that spectacular "scout," Mr. William F. Cod3 who gained his sobriquet of Buffalo Bill by slaughtering a lot of bison for tho labor camps of tho Union Pacific railroad get ting mixed up in an alleged Indian war fare. When the newspapers recently in formed the wondering east that" the Northern Sioux at Standing Rock and Pine Ridge agencies were making prep arations to to take to the warpath, I had a certain suspicion that there was some thing behind the story. Every man who is familiar with the habits of Northern Indians knows perfectly well that they do not take to tho trail in tho autumn or winter. There is no general uprising of theso Indians on record that did not oc cur in the spring or summer. They know perfectly well that at this timo of year, in many parts of the country they inhabit.the snow is two or three feet deep, and that, if they go to war, they can neither support their own lives with wild game, nor the lives of their pomes with grass. So, when I read that thero was a tremendous Indian uprising I smiled softly to myself and kept my eye peeled "for a job. Later, when it was given out that Mr. Cody had been selected to go north and arrest Sitting Bull. I had a quiet little laugh. There will not bo many Indians and none of them dangerous where Cody ventures in. If he arrests Sitting Bull, it will be because that old consumptive warrior is peaceful and willing to sub mit. But, when the whole story of this present Indian affair conies to light, there will be somo mighty interesting leading for some people. P. P.

Senator Harkness cannot be too careful with his zeat for Senator lngalls in rela tion to tne Alliance votes. A man named Harkness once wrote a Latin grammar.

The Republican party is not going to waste its sweetness on the desert air. George T. Anthony: "It is well known that Senator lngalls and myself have not been on the warmest terms, and it might bo expected by some that if there was any doubt regarding his re-election, I would express myself unfavorable toward him. He will be elected and there is no uso denying it." THE GREAT RESCUE. OKLAHOMA OUTLINES. WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES. Tho local management of the Colum bian exposition in Chicago, not satisfied to meet tho perplexities of tho great event to-be as they come up, are reach ing: out after others prematurely. The latest question that is being disputed by tho commissioners is that of music. They have many suggestions of course, as to what they should do about it. Ac cording to the Boston Transcript, the best suggestion that has yet been offered is that of Mr. Georgo E. Whiting, of Boston, who recommends, "as a first step, the appointment of tv committee of seven, who shall be leading American musicians, in whoso hands the whole business shall be intrusted. As Columbus was supported in his venture br Spain, leading Spanish composers, (who they? by the way.) should bo asked to contribute. There should be an orchev- J tm of two hundred, a chorus of oight "It was thought that after the election the Leavenworth Times, the Atchison Champion, the Emporia Republican, the Lawrence Journal, the Lawrence Record, the Wichita Eagle, tho Kansas City Gazette and some hundred weeklies would reform and be good Republican news papers, but every one of themset-m to havo a bigger kick than ever.

When the great firm of Barring Broth ers & Co., of London, foresaw that they would bo compelled to suspend, they im mediately informed tho governor of the Bank of England, who at once called his directors together and raised the discount rate to G per cent. Nobody understood the cause, but prudent bankers every where believed there was somo cause not pnblicly known. A great crisis was at hand. The failure of this great house would carry in its wake ruin in all parts of the world. Who could foretell the number of millions that would bo lost? Who could count the fortunes sunk, or measure tho extent of tho distress sure to follow so great a calamity? No timo wa3 to bo lost. The fact must not bo known to tho public. Everv lip mu3t remain sealed. Every energy to tho rescue. The Bank of England, tho Rothschilds, J. S. 3for gan & Co., Morton, Rose & Co., and two or three other banking houses immed iately organized a syndicato and sub scribed somo $63,000,000 to savo tho house from failure. The Bank of Eng land alone taking over half tho amount, and was thereby reduced to the necessity of borrowing $15,000,000 in gold from the Bank of France. Thero is something heroic in this great transaction. Great financiers stepping in the breach and pledging their for tunes and reputation to save a competing house from failure and tho world from a serious calamity. Thousands of men and women, on tho very brink of ruin, slept soundly and peacefully, the danger all unknown to them, while tho great bankers, in the small hours of the night, surrounded a table and, by gaslight, de vised measures and means to avert the coming storm. There wa3 no time for criticism. No time to censure, or find fault. Away with the croakers! Action is called for. They realized "The foe is upon us," and were ready to bear their own breasts to the threatened storm, if thereby, others j could be protected. Such men are great ' men equal to a great emergency. Long may they live! Such bold an energetic action, without historical precedent in magnitude, commends itself to tho ad miration of mankind. The saw-mills in Oklahoma have never stopped.

Attorney General Miller has instructed United States Attorney Speed to defond Capt. Stiles in tho damage suit instituted by H. W. Sawver. His answer to the pe tition was filed yesterday. It denies every allegation niade in the petition, nnd alleges that Capt. Stiles was acting under orders of the president to suppress the election which was at that time attempted. It sets forth that the attempt to hold the election was in utter disregard of tho city govern ment which had been established by the people, and that tho calling of tho election was recognized as dangerous to tho peace and welfare of the inhabitants of the city. The most remarkable part of tho answer is, however, the assertion that this terri tory was at the time wholly without pro tection of any court, and that the peace of the community and tho protection of the inhabitants depended wholly upon the president of the United States acting through the military. This is an attack upon the authority of tho Mus kogee ccarts jurisdiction of Oklahoma territory at that time. The United States attorney takes the ground that this terri tory was then in precisely tho condition that No Man's Land was in a year before. M 1 1 J72 V jy&?7asuz 123 TO 127 N MAIN ST.
