It would be a good thing for the neighbors to combine and pay a competent man to keep the roads in order. Fully one-half the money expended in this country for road making is wasted. There are three classes to build roads: First, the county; second, the county and townships jointly, and third, townships alone. There should be a general manager employed, and the township commissioners should work under his supervision. The county surveyor should also be a civil engineer, who should be paid liberally, and he should attend to the general supervision of the roads in his county.

Roads should be made forty feet wide between the fences, and twenty-four feet between the ditches. They should be laid out, and then they can be mac Now. since the supreme court, by its recent construction of the eight hour law, has relieved the public mind and dispelled our last fear a3 to the necessity for the much-talked-of special session of the legislature, the state committee and kindred organizations charged with the collection of funds necessary to enable Kansas to bo properly represented at the world's fair have again resumed active operations, and propose without further delay, to push the work undertaken to a successful termination. The proposed exposition will unquestionably eclipse any former exhibit of like character ever made in this or any other country. The nations of the earth will vie with each other in the arrangement and display of exhibits illustrating their products, resources and development; while the states, without an exception in the west, will be fully represented, and compete for honors at Chicago in 1893.

Ellensbubg, July 21. There is great excitement nere over magnificent gold finds that have been made in the Menastash canyon, fifteen miles from here. Fine nuggets and dust are found daily, and the gold is of high grade. Several good silver ledges have also been discovered in this canyon. Gold has also been picked up in the hills north of this city.

The whole country is wrought up to a high pitch, and many prospectors are fitting out and starting for the fields. Those who have returned are very enthusiastic over the prospects, and have dust or nuggets to back up their stories. A great deal of iron is also being uncovered by the gold hunters.

The failure of the Russian wheat and rye crop is causing an influx of gold from Russia to the Bank of England, thus making a large increase in the loanable capital of that institution. The slimness of the attendance of the people's caucus Saturday evening is significant of political decay. It shows that the people are waiting and thinking, and are not in a mood to be led like sheep to the polls. Governor Flemmixg of Florida holds that the election of Senator Call, which took place about two months ago, was illegal, and refuses to give the senator a certificate of election. The governor proposes to appoint a senator to fill the vacancy.

Salixa Republican: The republicans and democrats of the Eighth district, will probably put up a candidate for judge of that district. The present nominee, Judge M. B. Nicholson, the alliance man, was until recently a democrat, and his action in playing the alliance has angered the democrats of the district so much that they have joined with the republicans in a call for a nonpartisan convention. Twenty years ago a married couple in Pittsburg had a quarrel and seper-ated, the husband going west.

The wife and children took up a home in Ohio with her parents. The couple didn't afterward communicate with one another, in fact neither knew where the other was. A few days ago the husband visited Pittsburg on business and hearing that his wife was living in Ohio, he visited her. They made up, were married again, and are now on a wedding trip.

The effort made to make it appear that Judge Allen referred to an income tax, when he declared that the way to destroy the power of the rich is to tax-away their possessions, is as amusing as it is' fruitless. If Judge Allen had referred to an income tax, he would have made his meaning plain. But he did not have an income tax in his mind, as is clearly shown by the pamphlet, which he endorsed.

"A Crisis for the Husbandman" advocates and outlines a plan for doing exactly what Judge Allen proposes. The "Crisis" does not pretend that its plan is intended to raise funds for nublic purposes, but plainly states that its plan is intended to right the villainous wrongs oe- scribed in the "Crisis."

The contrary is true: the passage of the law was not only all right, but it was an obedience to the expressed will of the people, and if the people were wrong it was due in a large degree to the superficial discussion of the question by the press.

The real cause of much ol the defective legislation in Kansas the sensational treatment of everything pertaining to the legislature by the newspapers and especially by the great dailies that every morning and evening bring their columns to bear upon the legislature. We question whether any morning paper within fifty miles of Topeka can produce any editorial in which it discussed a measure pending in either body of the legislature last winter on its merits, and yet the editors of the great dailies are farsighted ana experienced men, who assume to be leaders of public opinion and to influence public bodies in the discharge cf their duties. In view of their silence when this measure was before the legislature, they should now proceed in a very conservative manner in the treatment of the law as it exists. The Kansas City Star treats the matter sensibly as follows: The time is coming of course, and that verily speedily, when it will be a a serious hi nderance to the prosperity of Kansas to have large tracts of productive lands lying idle in the hands of alien speculators. The effort which the legislature made to correct that abuse was entirely proper, and it was fitting that it should be accomplished bv a body of law-makers in which the farmers were so largely represented.

But is apparent that the statute goes a little too far, and it will be wise and expedient for the legislature to amend it at its next session. There is not much danger that the time will ever come when Kansas will not be held by Kansans. The loyal men and women who have struck to that state through all of the hardships and discouragements which are encountered in building up a new commonwealth are not to be easilv dispossessed or a age which they hold so precious. There isf not enough money in any foreign country to buy up Kansas, but there is a good deal of capital in the hands of others which would flow into that state if it was pevniitted it in a manner that would Lc prohtanio to ana it i-s not good policy to draw the lines so close! as to exclude that kind ot invest ments. The spirit of the alien law is all right, but it ought to be made a lit tle more clastic: it ought to rcstriciana not prohibit.

it would have been possible last win- ter to have made the law "a little more elastic" had everybody, including the great dailies, leen a little more intent upon the consideration of this and other matters and a little less intent upon raising- sheol. PEOPLE'S PARTY PROMISE. The Lantern attempts to involve the Monitor in an inconsistency by repro ducing two paragraphs from the Moni tor in one of which we denounce the attempt often made by public officials to make capital for themselves personally by cutting rjrinters' fees, and the other in which the query was made, whether the people's party county com missioners of Cloud county, were hon- est in giving the county printing in that county to a people's party paper at legal rates.

A collision between excursion trains occurred at St Mande last night in which scores of persons were either killed outright or fright fully injured and three carriages were wrecked, notn trains were returning from a musical festival at Fontenoy. The second train crashed into the preceding train before the latter had eft the St Mande station. The guard's van and the rear carriages of the first train were wrecked and caught fire. The other passengers hurriedly left the train and assisted in extricating the victims. Soldiers aided the fire brigade in quenching the fire and rescuing the nassencers.

The iniured were cared for by torchlight A dispatch from St Mande dated o'clock in the morning says that sixty persons were injured and that fifteen dead bodies have been recovered, in cluding those of two children who were mangled beyond recognition. Most of the dead are legless, their limbs having been crushed off through the jamming together of the seats. Fully 20,000 onlookers are at tne scene. Many relatives oi tne victims A A 9 are assembled at the railway station and heartrending scenes are witnessed as the victims are extricated from the wreck. The fireman and driver of the second train were burned alive.

It is reported that the station master has gone mad and decamped. It is now known that forty-nine nave been killed and 100 injured. NEBRASKA EIGHT HOURS. Railway Companies Preparing to Evade the Recent Enactment. Omaha, July 27.

Nebraska railroad managers are actively engaged in an effort to evade the law of the re cent alliance legislature which goes in to effect August 1, making eight hours a day's work. All the companies have prepared instructions to their employes, declaring that all will be employed and paid by the hour after that date. Organized labor is opposed to this scheme, as the eight hour measure was fostered by them at the time of its consideration by the alliance. Many of the companies expect trouble to result when their men discover what is being' done. The new law inflicts penalties for at tempting to avoid its provisions, and it was only after consultation and legal advice that the railroad companies concluded to fight the law.

On the Union Pacific and Burlington trouble is most likely to arise. It is generally believed that Gould's presence in the west now means that he desires to be on tne ground to superintend the matter. As crops are now being handled a strike would force the road to terms and result in great aam- sow. The railroad employes under stand the situation. Blaine In Good Health.

The amount believed to be necessary for the display proposed has been apportioned among the several counties and railroad companies operating lines within the state, on the basis of assessed valuation for 1890. This apportionment, after deducting the value of the railroad property upon which the companies pay direct to the state committee, is found to be so small as to amply demonstrate our ability to raise the sum onerous; tWI and that.

too. without im posing any considerable burden upon anyone. Former exhibits of the same general character as the one now proposed, have never failed of satisfactory results, as every one familiar with the history of our progress can amply demonstrate. We therefore trust that the organization already secured for this county will push the work undertaken to completion at an early day, and forward to the state committee the amount required for this season (ten per cent) and thereby place the county in line with others that have done their duty in this respect.
