Peck recently appointed general solicitor for the A. T. S. F. rail road, will, it is understood, have the management of the political inter ests of the company in Kansas.

Our republican brethren will meet and rati the slate that the railway magnates haye selected for state officers. For many years the great cry of projectors of new lines of railways in Kansas was competition to reduce freights. Cities to wnships and counties Toted bonds freely for this purpose Twenty seven lines of railway have been built already and these compan' iet have absorbed aod control them viz: A. T. S.

twelve lines, iviis souri Pacific i and the Union Paci fic nine. Not one of the twenty seven lines is operated by a local company The three great systems, Darned above 1 r- i .1 a pool ireiguia so mat mere is competition voting bonus to secure com petition has proved a failure. A house built upon the sand muft fall, so a civilisation built upon a Wrong foundation must decay. The competitive system, ajsyatem which ays every man for himself devil take the hindmost," nde i is our social fabric, and the result is huge mountains of wealth, taside awiul gulfs of poverty and misary A niv. ilizatiou to be permanent and progressive must be based upon the eternal rock ot reciprocity, which recognizes the divine truth tbat the welfare ot each child of God is the concern of the whole earth.

Patrons urat. When a man cannot answer the arguments advanced by another, bo will, if his prejudices are so great that be will not be convinced, decry the doctrine with mere assertions that it is wrong, and that anyone who advocates or endorses it is not a good citizen. Ottimes men of small calibre and great prejudices advise imprisonment, and even go so far as to say that men ought to be shot or hanged who advocate certain theories or doctrines. This is wrong. The proper thing for an unbeliever on any subject to do is to make that subject a study.

Laaro all you can about it, aod then if you are still au. unbe liever you will be able to tell why, and bring arguments to support your lews. Then what you say will have tome weight. Topeka Citizen. Greenbacks.

Mr. Gladstone favors, among other reforms, the substitution of Government paper money for private issues. In his speech on the Irish Government bfll he is thus reported: "Ireland might think fit to pass a law providing for the extinction of private issues iu Irelao 1, and tbat no bank notes should be issued ia Ire-land, except under the authority and for the advantage of the state. I own it is ray opinion that Ireland would do an extremuly sensible thing if she passed such a law. Hear, hear.

It is my most strong and decided opinion that we ought to have the same law ourselves.fcheers but the block of business has prevented that and many other good things toward the Attainments of which I hope we are now going to open the door. In this eouutry, too, we shall ulti. mately have to take a similar course. The national bank note will hav to be suppressed, tnd their place suppli. by greenbacks, 2f.

Philadelphia Press. It has lately been noticed in a factory at Cambridge, that the fumes of naphtha, under certain conditions, produce the same effect as laughing gas. In the factory mentioned a number of girls were rendered hysterical by, and some became unconscious from, breathing tbe gas. Lowell Citizen. At a recent lecture delivered in Philadelphia by a prominent scientist, the gentleman said it takes a prodigious amount of vegetable matter to form a layer of coal; tbat the present growth of the world would make a layer only one-eighth of an inch thick, and thatit would take a million veara to form a coal bed one hundred feet thick.

A more singular lot of names than are given in this paragraph from the Hartford Courant would be difficult to find: "There is now living in this city, temporarily, a gentleman over eighty years old who was once a pupil of Prof. S.
