Referring to the approach of meeting in Topeka, to-morrow -ot newspaper representatives of cities in Kansas interested In overthrowing the unjust discrimina lions that have militated against Kansas jobbing and manufacturing interests the Topeka Capital of Sunday comments with force and wisdom in the following "The dtle6 of the state are wide awake to the Importance of making an effort at this time which will enable them to com- I pete with points on the Missouri river, There is no reason why they 6hould not succeed in this. The only just system af rates, is one based on a mileage, such a rate per ton. "There is no justice in giving to the -man Who ships 1,000 tons a more favor- "blerate than the man who ships 100, "and ilt 1 the apex of unfairness tax the shipper in Topeka to a town west and south of Topeka, more than the shipper In Kansas City has to pay.

As it now is the Kansas City lumber dealer, who is taken -as am Illustration, has such an advantage that Ills Topeka competitor Is compelled to do business almost wholly within To--, peka, "being shut out from a market in Kansas which is his by right.

The railroad commissioners have wade it plain that they desire to do to Kansas, but that no order will be except on complaint backed up by figures of business done. What Topeka's blpper should do, therefore, as speedily as possible, Is to canvass the entire business of the city, wherever an Improved nte desired. It takes time and labor ta do this, but the benefit to be gained Is worthy of the trouble." Tbese remarks apply with equal force Fort Scott. What Is being done? address the Uhautauquan Assembly, at Oakland park. That day will be devoted to the old soldiers of Kansas, many of whom will be present to greet Corporal Tanner, one of the bravest soldiers of modern times.

The defeat of the prohibitory amend ment In New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania has Impressed the Democrats of Kansas with the belief that resubmission will be the next Is sue before the people. Lead Ing Democrat! of the city have declared wax tne next jjemocratic state conven tlon will take a decided stand on this question, and that a considerable element of the Republicans will join in the agita- us-n. twansas aoesn't take the back track, and the Democracy will find it out when they undertake this job. The Sunflower state has departed company wun me liquor iramc tor au ume. The most Interesting place aoout the cap! tol building is the bird room, where State Urnothologist Colonel N.

He has traveled many thousands ot miles ana gone into the remotest re fions of North America to secure these irds. He has traversed every section of this continent between Panama and the British Possessions.

During the coming fall and winter he will visit the islands in the Carrabean sea and several of the South American countries. Vis itors to Topeka should see Colonel Goss rare collection. According to the report of the state board of agriculture Saline will be the banner wheat county of Kansas this year, both in acreage and yield. From her fields will be harvested 82,075 acres it is claimed that the yield will average twenty-five bushels per acre a very reasonable estimate. Send greeting to Jour friends who are coaxing the sterile Ills of New England, and tell them that one county in ivansas wui produce over 2,000,000 bushels of wheat!

About three years ago he removed from Watervllle to Lincoln, and about one year ago he came to Topeka and took charge of the Windsor hotel (the old Tefft house.) He is now a member of the board of state house commissioners. The other candidates for United States attorney are: J. W. Ady of Newton, Joe Reeder of EllisJudge Strang of Lamed, C. S.

state penitentiary reveals the following facts: Of the 865 prisoners In the Kansas state penitentiary, four are serving their fourth term, six their third term, and fifty-nine second term. Twelve prisoners have been confined in state reform schools before being sentenced to the penitentiary. With three exceptions only those prisoners serving more than one term are In for grand larceny. Convicts in for murder and manslaughter usually serve but one term. The records show that more men are convicted of grand larceny (mainly horse stealing) than for all other crimes together.

In 1SS0 there were 130 more prisoners than at present, when the population of the state was only about two-thirds of what it is now. The rate in 18S0 was one prisoner to every 1,400 of the population; now it is one prisoner to every 2,000. secretary Moher, of the state board of agriculture, estimates the wheat yield of the 6tate at 35,000,000 bushels. He believes that the market will open at from fifty to sixty cents per bushel, and is of the opinion that farmers will make no mistake by disposing of their crops early U. U.

John M.Galloway Is getting another extensive advertisement over his re moval from a United States com mis- sionership In Oklahoma. John Is a muchly advertised individual. A Democratic statesman of Missouri, who wants the nomination of his party for governor, declares that his only plank and platform Is the "encourage ment of manufactures In the south." It is evident that does not subscribe to free trade theories, and the wonder is that the Bourbons do not read him out of the party The Kansas City Times has a 'mania on prohibition that effects it somewhat after the fashion that the unfortuate Jones of Florida, is afflicted. This mania breaks out in the Times from time to time, and fairly shakes the very depths of its soul. The Times is now enduring the throes of one of these attacks.

We take gVeat pleasure in assuring sympathizing and solicitous friends that it will recover. Don't worry. In reply to queries concerning Hon-E. F. Ware's Arlington poem, the Atchison Champion remarks: "The poem he read was original, and it was new in Washington.

But it was not new in Kansas. It was a poem he wrote a number of years ago, for a similar occassion and it was then published In any Kan sas papers The Champion among the number." The Champion is right about it. A DEATH PIT. Tom Job sea's Plaoje From the Capitol Dome A filraenlaat Escape From Frirttful Death. (Topeka Capital.

"It was the mott miraculous escape I ever heard of in all ny life, without exception," said Superintendent Joe Parn-ham of the state house yesterday. In speaking of an event which occurred on the dome about 10 o'clock in the forenoon. At the hour mentioned a young colored man named Tom Johnson, employed as a water carrier by the contractors, started down the topmost ladder leading from the summit of the dome piers to the ground. He had passed the bucket and all the men had slaked their thirst from It, so that It was much diminished in weight. As he descended the ladder he held the pail In one hand and with the other steadied himself by grasping 1 the sauaiz.

Ia scaic way he zauscahi; How tha Xate Commissioner of Pen sions Sept Down Expenditures, Necessitating' an Annual Appropriation in the Deficiency Bill. Commissioner Tanner Heaps the ZLe- sult of the Policy in the. fihapa of a Depleted Fond. Washington. Tune The exhaus.

tlon of the pension fund, just announced by the commissioner or pensisns, was to have been expected. lo those at all ta miliar with the "economic streaks" of the late Commissioner mack, the announcement is not a surprise. That General Black Is directly responsible for this state of things is easily established by the facts. When he entered upon his duties as commissioner of pensions the pension appropriation for the fiscal year, ending Tune 30, 1885, was $20,810,000. The estimate for that year, as well as for the next.

1S86. had been made bv his Re publican predecessor. In both Instances the estimate exceeded the appropriation Commissioner Dudley appreciated more readily than congress the fact that the pension expenditures were rapidly in creasing. For the year ending June 30, 1SS6, Commissioner Dudley had asked for $60,000,000, and congress appropriated $59,172,000. General Black came Into office at this iunctuie, and in the line of his predecessor's ideas asked for 000,000 for the year ending une 30, 1SS7.

Congress readily appropriated the full amount asked for. A little Demo cratic reflection led General Black to fear that his party would not stand such "extravagance" as an increase on this expenditure for pensions, particularly as muttering of discontent had already been heard from some of the Bourbon organs, or tne next nscai year ending June 30, 18S8, therefore, Commissioner Black refused to ask tor tne-increase that was needed, and very "economically" kept the estimate at $75,000,000, which congress voted, with the addition of $6,900,000 for Mexican pensions, but the result of Commissioner Black's econ omy was a deficiency. The fiftieth congress, at its first ses sion, made good the amount, but It ap- Seared In the deficiency bill, and the democratic press of the country took evident pleasure and pride in citing same deception was practiced in the estimates and appropriations for the sec ond session of the fiftieth congress, the deficiency this time reaching $8,000,000. The wily commissioner was "keeping down" the pension expenditures according to the regular appropriation bill, but the increase In the pension deficiency revealed the fact that the "economy" was only apparent. When the political campaign came on the necessity for "economy" in pension matters from a Democratic standpoint, became more imperative than ever.

President Cleveland had set his subordi nate an example bv his Indiscriminate vetoes of pension bills wherever his turgid fancy pictured an excuse. As a Democratic politician Commissioner Black decided that the President would not approve, and that his Bourbon friends would never stand the announcement of a further increase in the amount annually paid to the Union veterans and their dependents. Accordingly he again asked for only $7 5,000,000, this time for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889. He knew that the estimate he submitted to the first session of the Fiftieth congress was much too small, and figures prepared in his own bureau at his own request showed that at least $90,000,000 would be needed. But the exigencies of a political campaign were at hand, and Com missioner Black knew that any increased appropriation for the Union soldiers would send up a universal howl of disapproval from the unterrified, and possi bly create dangerous dissatisfaction in that stronghold of Democracy, the "solid south." Hence his moderation in the face of a known necessity for an appro priation of $90,000,000.

Even a Democratic congress refused to practice so glaring a deception, and in stead of the $75,000,000 asked, was voted. Under these circumstances even the calculations made in Commissioner Black's office placed the deficiency to be exoected at nearly 000,000, although he had for political ef fect declined to ask congress for more than $75,000,000. This is why the pen sion fund for the present fiscal year is now exhausted. Commissioner Black purposely made his estimates about $15,000,000 too low, and asked congrassfor much less than he knew wonld be needed. Al though congress, disregarding this esti mate, appropriated $80,473,000, the de ficiency, it is calculated, will still reach $10,000,000, and the next congress will be asked to make it up.

It Is believed also, that the appropria tion of the coming fiscal year will be too small. When the election was over Commissioner Black lost his immediate nterest in the welfare of the Democratic party. He then ventured, for the first time In the three years, to increase his estimate. Even then, he took especial care not to give the Incoming Republican administration any advantage by asking for the pension money that was needed. He was not going to aid their chances of getting it.

But he asked for That was the least he could do, for he realized that congress, disregarding his former estimate, had appropriated that amount. Congress took him at his word this time, although figures in his bureau which he took pains not to pre sent to the appropriation committee showed that at least $00,000,000 would be needed. There was every reason to believe that even $90,000,000 would be nsufficlent, since a large Increase of pen sions under various acts of congress had been authorized. Commissioner Black knew this, but he preferred to shift the responsiblity, and to leave to a Republi can administration the untangling of matters. The deficiency now revealed by the exhaustion of the pension fund has existed for nearly two years; 11 sim- 6y failed to "catch up" while the emocratic commissioner who incurred and concealed it was in office.

STATE SEWS. Special correspondence. Topeka, Ks June 25, 1 009. The writer, in company with other press representatives, made the perilous journey from terra fir ma to the top of the main walls of the apttoi building a few days since, the distance being 125 feet. The trip was perilous to one unaccustomed to climbing ladders to this dizzy height.

No grander view can be had In Kansas than this. CJne can see ud and down the Kansas river a distance of twenty miles. Lecoinpton, the historical city, can be teen on the Kaw bluffs eighteen miles to the east, and when the great center dome Is completed 180 feet above the present height the State University at Lawrence, twenty-six miles will be plalnlv visible. It may be a surprise to some lo know that on tne top of these great walls, 125 feet from the earth, a complete blacksmith shop, with bellows and anvils may be found, where all the blacksmithlng necessary in putting the ron work together is oeinr done. the Intelligence of the death of the state: man of Pennsylvania, Simon Cameron ending of this man's life closes the career of one of the most striking fig ures In American politics.

He Is the last of Mr. Lincoln's first cabinet, the oldest ex-senator of the United States and the oldest politician who enjoyed a National reputation. -The Chicago Tribune, reviewing his career, gives the following Interesting urn mar of his life and the period covered by its span He Is one of the few men who have seen the rise and fall of great parties The Whig party was born and died during his active lifetime. When his political career began the Democratic party, under that name, had not been or gaafzed. He saw the beginning and the ending of the Anti-Masonic, the Native American and the Know Nothing par ties.

He shared in about all the political conflicts this country has known. except that between the Federalists and the Jeff ersenian Republicans. When he began as a newspaper pub Usher Monroe was President, and the "era of good feeling" was In existence. There were many Presidential aspirants, but no parties Mr. Cameron's first love was Calhoun.

The South Carolinian was then in favor of protective tariffs, and Mr. Cameron was then and always a protectionist. Mr, Calhoun had great hopes that he would be able, with Pennsylvania and the south ern states, to be Monroe's successor, but he failed. Mr. Cameron supported Jack son, but still had a soft place in his heart for Calhoun till the latter abandoned his old tariff position.

When, in 1812, Gen eral Jackson wanted the Pennsylvania legislature to urge him to run a second time Cameron was one of those who helped to bring it about, and he went to the National convention at Baltimore at the head of the state delegation to work and vote for Van Buren, who was Jack son candidate for the Vice Presidency, In 1845 he was elected to the United States senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Buchanan, who had been appointed secretary of state. Mr. Buchanan would have pre ferred some one else, and this was the beginning of a coolness between the two men. Of that senate of 184c he Is the sole survivor.

Webster, Dix, Dickinson, Crittenden, McDuffie, Clayton, Breese, Benton, Cerwtn and Cass have all passed awav. wmie in tne senate ne votea tor the Mexican war. for the extension of the Missouri compromise line to the Pa cine, and for other measures advocated by the pro-slavery Democrats. He was, however, much disgruntled by the pas sage, bv the castincr vote of Mr. Dallas.

of the low tariff bill of 1846. His term expired In 1S40, and he re mained a Democrat till the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill demoralized the party In the north. In 1857 the op position sent him back to the senate. It was a curious election. The Democrats had three majority in the legislature, and John W.

Forney had the caucus nomina tion and felt sure ox election. 10 tne amazement and disgust of himself and the party two Democrats cast their votes for Cameron, and he was chosen. The Democrats claimed that the two mem bers had been bought. They denied it, and said that Mr. Cameron was "an old friend." In i860 he was a seeming candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, but his friends made a bargain with some unauthorized friends of Mr.

Lincoln, by which Cameron, in re turn for the support of his Pennsylva- nlans, was to have a cabinet position. Mr. Lincoln confirmed the bargain, though with regret, and made him sec retary of war. 1 here he developed a degree of radicalism that was surprising In view of his past record, and in his second report as secretary he incorporated recommen dations about the confiscation and arm ing of slaves which the President cut out. Dissatisfaction of his administration of the department led to his resignation, and he went as minister to Russia.

In 1867 he was re-elected to the Senate and served till 1879, wnen he was succeeded by his son, and he turned over to younger hands the 6tate that he had ruled so long. THE BITE OF LNTEREsT. The alleged legislature of Kansas passed a law last winter prohibiting loan agents from taking more than 10 per cent Interest from the borrower. The aw went into effect about a month ago. Will some one with a good microscope Inform a breathless and impatient state what is the name of the money oaner who Is obeying that law? Law rence Tribune.

Possibly the above may be true, but the young man who wrote it should re member that a Republican state conven tion pledged the legislature In advance to reduce the Interest to .6 and 10 per cent, and that every member was con sequently elected on that Issue. Th did what they promised, and now why don't you see that the law Is enforced? Therx were cyclones In those days. W. H. Freeman of Kansas City, Kansas, has handed the Gazette a copy of the New York Transcript of June 22, 1835, which contains a lengthy account of a tornado or cyclone that happened In New Jersey a few days before.

Two hundred houses and barns at New Brunswick were prostrated. Children were carried 100 feet In the air, and one was carried nearly a quarter of a mile, and the only injuries received was one single sprained wrist. Twenty buildings were destroyed in another town. Three persons were killed outright, two died later of Injuries, and when the paper went to press five others were In a precarious state. It says: "A gentle man In a wagon was driving up one of the streets, and the storm was so violent that the horse refused to or could not proceed.

He sprang from the wagon and had no sooner reached the ground than the wagon was torn loose from the horse and broken to atoms." Kansas City, (Ks.) Gazette. "The Charleston News (Dem.) says that the re-eiectlon of William E. Chand- eras United States Senator for New Hampshire will contribute as much as any other cause to keep the south solid 'or the next four years." A most re markable statement, certainly! What a perversion genuine National sentiment and comity I We imagine that being satisfied with their senator the peo ple of New Hampshire care yery little whether the south Is solid or otherwise, but the expression of such a sentiment by a southern paper Indicates a soft spot somewhere, probably in the cranial development of the editor the News, garded by the foreign press we quote from a copy of the Pall Mall Gazette which tenders its congratulations in the following significant terms; says the Ga zette: "We congratulate America very heartily upon the signal success that has attended her on the first occasion she has squared up to a first class power and let it be distinctly understood that she meant to have her way or she would know the reson why. This constitutes the supreme significance of the Samoan conference. Hitherto America has been treated as a quantite negligeable henceforth it will be understood that she is perfectly prepared to spend any number of millions in order to make good her word when she considers it pledged, to vindicate her honor when she thinks it involved, or to defend her Interests wherever they may be attacked.

The terms of settlement re-establish the status quo so far as the Samoans are con cerned, but practically share out En gland's position between Germany and the United States. Our interests appear to have been treated as secondary and subordinate throughout." It is authoritatively stated that Col. R. Anthony will resume the editorial management of the Leavenworth Times in a few days, but we do not credit the statement that he will make the Times the organ of the opposition to prohibl tlon in Kansas. The present exultation of the opponents to prohibition in Kan sas, resulting from the defeat ot prohibition in Massachusetts and Penn sylvania, will be short liveJ.

The cold fact remains that Kansas is a prohibition state, made so by the saloon men themselves who preferred taking the chances of pro hlbition to accepting a strong high li cense law. A vote of the people could not be had on the question ware It re submitted short of four years. We would advise gentlemen who spend their time discussing resubmission that it Is worse than wasted, and if they wait for a leader until Colonel Anthony comes out In the Times against the law they will become weary waiting. Henry M. Stanley's prediction that a railroad would be built around the cat aract of the Congo for the money that was in It Is about to be verified.

A company has been formed in London for that purpose. The road will be in the heart of Africa, and will be 262 miles long. It will connect the two navigable halves of the great river, so that the ne cessity of freighting from the upper cat aract down to the bottom of the rapids on negroe's heads and shoulders will be no longer necessary. Nearly 4,000,000 pounds of merchandise was carried by these human freight t-alns over this long stretch of country last year. It was a load for 65,000 colored backs.

Stanley said years ago that the gathering of the rubber on the islands and banks of the upper Congo In one year would pay for this railroad. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, after a lengthy review pro and con of the Blackburn-Chandler incident, sums up the case as follows: "Senator Black burn is a big bodied, big hearted and impulsive man. Under normal conditions he is incapable of Insulting anybody, or pulling any ear, except his own. If he did pull Senator Chandler's ear, it is only charitable, and probably justice, to ascribe his act to 6ome of the- peculiar influences emanating from the industries of Kentucky." We will add that if he did, It was a cowardly and undignified proceeding. The time has passed when men should win either approval or respect by converting the United States senate or Its committee rooms into a prize ring.

Atchison Champion: The mayor of Atchison was paid $1,000 per annum, for two years, but his salary Is now only $300 per annum. The Fort Scott Monitor can revise its figures. The re duction was made at the request of Mayor Waggener. But the Champion has no hesitation in saying that $300 will procure the services of as good and competent men, as'mayors of any city in this state, as will $1,000 or $1,500. Whether the honor Is or is not worth the work and worry of the office, is not worth dis cussing when the very best and ablest men in any city are quite willing to accept the office for the honor it confers.

One hundred and fifty million dollars a pretty good sized mortgage. It- re quires a good bit of property to carry so much Indebtedness. But that is the amount that is to be placed like a blanket on the Chicago, Milwaukee St Paul road, to raise the money to wipe out all its varied forms of indebtedness. If this amount of bonded debt Is floated will be a notable event In the financial world, not even equaled by the Jersey Central's similar procedure. The latter road was In the hands of a receiver when its big debt was put In shape.

The St. Paul road proposes thus to fund ts debt In order to keep out of the hands of a receiver. Ik order that success may crown the efforts now being put forth to advance the Interests of the city, it behooves each member of committees mentioned elsewhere in this paper to meet at the district court rooms this afternoon at 4 o'clock and systematize the work in hand. Let there be a full turn out. A Chicago judge has decided that a husband Is not responsible for the debts of his wife in Illinois, unless he has legally made hi nrself responsible by becoming surety for the payment, or if the debt be for goods obtained on credit, by ordering or In some way authorizing the credit given the wife as the agent of the The New.

Hampshire legislature is considering a ballot reform measure, and will probably adopt a law framed on the Australian system. James J. Rotlson, FUJntiny vs. frank MeDevttt. O.

Superintend ent farnham and the bricklayers and hod carriers were as if turned to stone by the horrible sight and not one be lieved that the unfortunate lad could be saved. At the foot of the ladder, twenty feet below, there Is a sort of skeleton platform.

A couple of Iron girders cross the open space alongside the hoisting el evator, rom all sides of the circumfer ence of the dome, pieces of 6x3 timber are thrown across, resting on the girders and resembling the spokes of a wheel. An extra piece ot this sized plank was resting across one of the girders, with one encr projecting out Into the open space. As Johnson fell with frightful rapidity one of his hands struck the end of this plank and he clutched at it. Talk of a drowning man catching at a straw! it is nothing to the grip lorn got on that plank, and though he weighs 150 pounds he sustained himself and hung there, still 100 feet above terra firm while his bucket shot on downward and was dashed to pieces in the basement. It was not in human strength for the boy to save mmseit.

The whole scene was begun and ended in less than a moment, but it seemed an hour to the chief actor and the spectators. "Nine hundred and ninety -nine times out ot a thousand a man could not have saved himself in the same manner from instant death.

311s scheme is feasible and the proposl- -flan a practical one. Oar quantity and quality of cheap rii4 our superior fluxing materials which are so essential to cheap smelting, ur superior railway facilities; our cap- our banking capacity our -smequaHed advantages for securing of atnfimlted quantities of lead ore when for smelting of dry ores, and vjut nearness "to the bullion market, all ggo to prove that Mr. Glfford 'a statements -mre baaed on a good business founda- Ion. Daring the past twelve months some 30300 tons ot ore has passed through Jftart Scott, over the Mn K. T-, from -aorfhera Mexico, en route to smelting works ot Kansas City, St.

Louis and oaaaa, These ores pay freight per ton- wage per mile and can be; smelted as ikcjj here as In any other point In the United States, saving a small Item in freight to the ore producers. With this t-Sact there la no good reason why a small smelting works, on the plan Mr. Glfford -jrrpposes, should not grow to a profitable jcjaid valuable enterprise In a very few jjpeom. We trust the proposition will 'laeeet with immediate and liberal en-w. -cpnraenient.
