Wcathor f nriicatin:!. Chicago. Oct, 26. For liansas: Gen erally fair tonight anil Sunday much colder Sunday; southwest winds. The M. K. & T. railroad people should feel thankful that their conductor who disappeared at Kansas City recently didn't take hi3 train with him. England has liar tentacies extended n 90 many directions iu an effort to grasp more territory, that it will ba remarka ble if she doesn't aucceed somewhere. The 122 national banks of Kansas hava but a trills over a million in gold in their vaults. They wouid hava been ia a bad way to do business if Sovereign could have got his boycott in operation. Since the government's obligations are all payable in coin, how would it do to pay half gold and half silver. That is a fair compromise and one to which there should be no objection by anybody. The internal revenue receipts of the government from the tax on whisky show a decrease of more than twenty one million dollars for the first three months of the currant fiscal year, from that of a similar period last year, and the Leavenworth saloons haven't been closed either. It was hardly fair for ex Governor St. John to say that the prohibitory law in Kansas is suffering from Republican treachery, lie should rather have said official treachery. True the officials ore just now Republicans, but the condi tions were much the same when they vera Populists. Senator Sukrman in his book says President Grant took no interest in the financial affairs of the country. This will never be said of Sir. Cleveland. If both he and the senator had taken less in terest in the country's financial affairs it would have been better for the people. Hen of the Grant stripe at least do no harm. The levying of taxe3 on the people to pay judgments obtained on account of defective sidewalks will convince them more quickly than anything else that in dividuals should not be permitted to con struct sidewalks while the city is re sponsible for their safety. A man may make a slight saving by building the sidewalk in front of his property him self but if he has to pay double the amount so saved in taxes to satisfy judg. ments against the city he will conclude that it is a poor kind of economy. There is no more effectual way of reaching the reason than through the pocket book. The American Economist publishes a table showing the decline in the price of wool during a period of years and at tributes it to the Gorman tariff. ..It might substitute a table of prices similar to this regarding almost any other American product. Ia it possible that the Gorman tariff is responsible not only for the de pressed prices of productions named in the schedule but for those of everything else including labor. The Gorman tariff does not differ greatly from the McKinley tariff except as regards a very few ar ticles, among which ia wool, while all prices have declined. There is no ob jection to the Economist's riding its hobby but it should not try to blind the eyes of the people to the real cause of their ills. Blowlt but surely the smaller cities of Kansas are gaining control of their own waterworks. It is a matter for wonder ment that any community will submit to leave the control of anything so impor tant to the whole people as the water supply in the bauds of a grasping, soul less corporation. Topeka has had some sovere examples of the baneful effects of the system, but it will probably take a much severer lesson to cause her people to awaken to the importance of controll ing their own water supply. There are unending rumors of wars. That there will be an outbreak soon, there can be little doubt. When it comes it may involve a large portion of the so called civilized world. The people are getting restless under their burdens of poverty and wrong and the rulers realize that something must be done to distract their attention. War has always been a favorite resort in such casus. John P. St. John thinks McKinley, in the race for the presidential nominatian is handicapped by the tariff measure which bears his name. That is not the only load McKinley has to carry. In an unguarded moment hs got on the wr ong side of the money question. - He doubt less regretted it immediately afterwards as he has been as silent as the grave on the subject ever since. Cakboi.i. D. Wright has figured ont that the strikes which have occurred in the past 13, years have lost employes more than twice as much as the em ployers. These figures would have been reversed if ail the strikes bad resulted like the one just ended at Uutte, Mon tana, where tue strikers not only won their point but thay ma le the employer pay thorn a bonus of $5i)0 besides. Governor Morrill is quoted in an eastern paper as saying: "There is a genuine revival in business in Kansas, but it is due to the large crops rather than the Wiisjn tariff." This assertion of the governor's ought to set at rest any sus picion that our business revival is at tributable to the gold standard. Is the course of a somewhat lengthy political career it is possible that Gov ernor Morrill contracted the habit of kissing babies and the habit has grown as the babies have. This uuijsestion is offered as a solution of his action at the university when he is said to have kissed oua of the pretty young women students. KANS AH 1 'A UAO U APHS.

Those who-ought to knovy say tha' there is abont to be such a rattling and ehaking up of the dry bones among journals and journalists of the city of New York as has not occurred since Jo seph Pulitzer bought The World, and that young W. B. Hearst, the daring proprietor of the San Francisco Exam iner, who has jost taken The Journal off the hands of John R. McLean, is to bo the cause of the disturbance. Accord ing to an announcement put out in Tho Fourth Estate, a newspaper man's news paper, ilr. Hearst purposes "to stay" in New York. There is something de lightfully naive in this expression of his purpose, and it may be the form thereof ia original with The Fourth Estate writer. It much resembles the announce ment in olden times kept standing for a period of weeks at the editorial page of a new country weekly : WE AEE HERE TO STAT. j Sometimes those who print snch up per case announcements are capable of "staying," though not always, and it is worthy of uoto that when Joseph Pu- VT. R. HEARST. litzer settle-;"! himself in the chair at head of tho New York World he made no such declaration. But he "staid. " It is remembered that the other New York newspapers derived much amuse ment from Joseph for a time. They held up to the general scorn of the public his "western methods." They even published burlesque stories of his alleged, accent. The Herald called The World a "gift enterprise sheet," and The Sun, which "shines for all," teemed with eparkliug editorials, the burden of which was that "Pulitzer must move on." Well, he has "moved on" to a larger circulation apparently than that of any ether American news paper, and to a point of profit making that is Eiinply fabulous. No doubt it ia to some extent at least the unparalleled success of The World under Joseph Pulitzer that has induced Mr. Hearst to try his luck in the New York field. But he has before him an example of a western journalist who did not succeed in New York, that he has also considered, no doubt, as care fully as he litis that of Mr. Pulitzer. The Journal, which Mr. Hearst has just bought, was established by Albert Pulitzer, a brother of Joseph, as a low grade 1 cent newspaper. For a time it was phenomenally successful, and Al bert Pulitzer realized a fortune from it. But for some reason he could not keep it up to tho standard, and when he said out to John ft. McLeau, owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer, it was understood that the profits'from The Journal's pub lication had come to be much reduced. When McLean, who is a man cf large wealth, took the paper from Pulitzer, ho doubled and trebled its expenses in a short time. Ha put an enormous staff of reporters at work, he paid big salaries, ho enlarged the paper, aud he began to publish what would be termed "excln sives" in Boston, "beats" in Now York and "sccops" in Cincinnati. Many there were who bought the paper that had never bought it before. These nodded their heads and chuckled and declared that McLean was about to make as great a revolution in New York journalism as Joseph Pulitzer had a few years before. But somehow The Journal didn't go, and McLean backed out. Now all tho world in New York and a pretty fair sprinkling of it outside are waiting to see what Hearst will do with The Journal. He has two and a half times as much wealth, it is said, as John R. McLean had, Hearst's resources being reported to bo $25,000,000 and Mc Lean's $10,000,000. W. R. Hearst is a young man, the son of the late Senator Hearst cf California. Ho was educated at Harvard, where he mixed up with The Harvard Lampoon. Ho went to work upon The Examiner shortly after his graduation, and ho spent great sums of money in pushing the paper. Plenty of Californians shook their heads at the beginning of his ca reer as publisher. They said he knew nothing about newspapers, excepting how to ruin them, and declared that the Hearst millions would be dissipated in a comparatively short time unless tho young man's extravagances were shortly looked after. In spite of these predic tions The Examiner moved on day by day iu the direction of success, young Hearst showing tkat, at least so far as San Fran cisco was concerned, he koew about what the people like te read and would buy. Mr. Hoarst is a pleasant young man, modest in appearance and apparel and of engaging address. He is a great club man, and he owns a steam yacht, a luxury which few can afford. For his sake it ia to be hoped that The Journal, instead of consuming an income after the fashion of a steam yacht, will turn in a handsome net income to its new Proprietor. M. L DstXTEB. V.'

One of the favorite air castles of Misa Frauces E. Willard, the world famous worker in the cause of temperance, is about to take "angible form on earth. She has long desired that her old home, Forest Home, in Janesville, Wis., should become a national place of retirement for deserving veteran members of tho FOREST TIOME. Women's Christian Temperance union, and Chicago temperance workers are now hard at work to accomplish the coveted result. Forest Home farm is a beautiful spot, and comprises 239 acres of laud, 50 of which are to be dovoled forever to the uses of the proposed home, providing the scheme ia carried out to a successful ending. Those 50 acres immediately surround 1 Forest Home, where M iss Willard passed 12 years of her life 12 "beautiful years, " as she terms them. Near the substantial brick house the lawn is well cared for 2icl dotted with numerous trees, the shade of which is most grate ful in summer. The remaining 189 acres, according to A. S. Muxham of Chicago, the originator of the project, are to ba cut up into about 725 building lots, 50 feet front by 150 feet deep, aud are to be placed on tho market Under a strict prohibition agreement and at a reasonable valuation. When 200 of these lots are sold, the 60 acres will be deeded to the National W. C. T. U. for all time, to be us( d exclusively as a heme for the workers of the union who have fought a good fight "for God and home and native land. " The officers of the union have offered to accept he home and its site under those conditions, and there seem excel lent grounds for belief that the thou- I sands of friends of the order will pur 1 chase the 200 lots and make possible the j proposed "Rest Home," as tho institu ' tion is to be called. Miss Willard is in ; thorough sympathy with the project, : and will doubtless be one cf the hap pest women in the United States when Forest Home farm is the property of the W. C. T. TJ. Since her family owned the farm it has several times changed bauds. Waste of Water at Niagara.

She was born i:i Iowa, near Keokuk, in 1850, and there spent the first 25 years of ber life. She is of Scotch-Irish stock, and her grandxiarents were strict Presbyterians. She was educated at a Presbyterian school in Monmouth, Ills., aud in 1873 married Donald M. Graham, a promis ing young lawyer of Bioomington, Ills. She often assisted her husband in his work, and during their three years' res idence in Bloomington she gained con siderable insight into real estate law, and the knowledge afterward "proved of great value to her. In 1870 Mr. Gra ham's health became so poor that he bought a sintill ranch at Pasedena, Cal., and devoted himself to outdoor life. The work proved too severe for his strength, however, and they removed to Los Angeles, where for five years Mrs. Graham tenderly nursed her husband and taught school. About this time, too, the literary possibilities of Cali fornia impressed her, and two of her stories "Brj'ie" and "Colonel Eob Jarvis" were published iu the San Francisco Argonaut aud were very fa vorably received. Her husband's real estate ventures proved successful, but his health steadily failed, aud she de voted her entire time to caring for him, until death closed his eyes iu 1890. She spent two years winding up the complicated affairs of his estate, aud then again turned her attention to liter ature. "The Withrow Water Right" was promptly accepted by The Atlantic Monthly and "Toby" made an immedi ate hit with The Century. When the tales were published and issued later in & volume they received a most hearty reception fron. the critics aud the read ing public. CAN HAVE PEACE NOW.
