The Weekly Co-Operator and Topeka State Press from Topeka, Kansas • 4

THE WEEKLY 00-OPERATOR AND TOPEKA PRESS, APRIL 10, 1896 Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report Royal Powder Baking ABSOLUTELY PURE SOME WANTS GRATIFIED. A correspondent from Ness City, M. Pembleton, says: "In as much as you have a want column in your paper, and that free, I have a few wants that I would like to have come before the public.

"First Wanted: To know why nearly all of the Pop papers have dropped the Omaha platform including the Co-OPERATOR, and have gone off after the silver craze?" Answer: all the Pop pa. pers including the Co-OPERATOR" have not dropped the Omaha platform. In every issue we preach the doctrines of the Omaha platform to the best of our ability if we fail to make this clear to all it is by reason of a lack of ability not earnest desire. Of the hundreds of Pop papers that come to this office not more that a half dozen will consent to the dropping of a single fundamental from the Omaba declaration. Wanted: To subscribe to a 'Pop' paper that is not ashamed to carry the Omaha platform in its columns and whose editor will jump on it with both feet and stay there till h-1 freezes over or until its principles are enacted into law." Answer: suggest the CoOPERATOR first, its editor has been in this work for twenty years never having voted an old party ticket in his life, and we'll be there until the heated regions grow frigid, we gain the victory, or life shall cease.

Wanted: To know why the Hutchinson convention did not ne out flat footed on the Omaha coM. instead of making straddleplatform selves as the "reps" do of then. "tion? bugs the silver ques. 'ntehinson con. on Answer: "The He of vention endorsed the prim.

the People's party and as the On platform is the only authoritative statement of the principles of the party the statement is either People's meaningless or is an endorsement of the Omaha platform. To this endorsement is added the new questions that have arisen since the Omaha meeting namely, the necesof trial by jury, the abolition sity of government by injunction and the issuance of bonds in times of profound peace. To emphasize our position upon the currency question which is now the object of so much discussion we restated our position on that, when you view the platform in this light it is all right. As to want tour which relates to railroad passess no editor or pubhisher feels himself bribed or at least should not when he is compelled to give in advertising space, in several times as much many cases, for the value as if he let the space to local merchants. The railroads should be met on the same business lines as any other advertiser, noth.

ing more, nothing less. In five, relating to the appellate court while the party does not stand committed to the endorsement of these courts, yet as long as the court was several years behind with its work and as it was bepreme ing used as a means by men to keep from paying obligations by appealto the supreme court where the ing case would lay for years it was certainly necessary to do something. It is the essence of justice that it be administered quickly. NOTES FROM THE NORTH SIDE. William Anderson and family have returned from a visit with Mrs.

The Railroads Tell the Commissioners That the Cattlemen Are Mistaken, The cattlemen of the state finished giving evidence before the railroad commissioners yesterday and many of them went home last night and this morning.

A portion of the time yesterday was given to the railroads and they told their tale to the commissioners. The evidence given yesterday by the cattlemen was but a repetition of the testimony given by them before, All were unanimous that the 100 pound rate was an injustice to shippers. The representatives of the railroads were prepared with mass of evidence from the books of their respective companies. Huge volumes in the shape abstracts from the records, showed that the new rate caused but a trifling increase per car in the cost of shipping. This evidence seemed strong, but Mr.

Waters made the point that the statements were merely comparisons of shipments under the new rate based on the number of pounds shipped in each car. The complainants declared that to arrive at a correct representation of the facts the shipments nnder the new rate should have been compared with the shipments under the car load rates. Such a statement Mr. Waters insisted would be necessary for the companies to disprove what was set, out in the complaintants petition. The witnesses for the railroads admitted that they had made no such comparisons.

John A. Sargent, assistant general freight agent, was examined. He testifiled as to a total increase of $88 on the business in February; for March the increase was $66, on total business which averaged between 300 and 400 cars per month, an average increase per car of 30 to 50 cents. Gen. C.

W. Blair on behalf of the Memphis, introduced a number of affidavits from shippers on his line of road, stating that they are perfectly satisfied with the 100 pound rate, as it has caused reductions in the cost of shipments. C. W. Haille of St.

Louis, general freight agent for the Missouri, Kansas Texas, was examined by T. N. Sedgwick, general attorney for that company. Mr. Haille described the method by which the new rates had been determined.

The con, said, for the change was behe he company believed that the rate tin. 1 had been discriminated car pers. Competition at against by ship, been market points had desires remuneration company aiso the excess weights placed in cars. by shippers. Under the new rate if shippers loaded in confora'ity the precars scribed minimum of 22,000 pounds, shipments would cost less.

But, the shippers compelled pay for exceed that and are excess, rate which slightly makes higber shipments that' under new car load rate. The question of return transportation shippers was developed by Waters. Mr. Hallie admitted that were required to pay their fare returning from market, to all points where the railroad has no competition. Mr.

Waters got after Sargent and Hallie, the freight agents, with a sharp stick, and his cross examination of them was extremely interesting. Mr. Hallie admitted that the new rates caused increases in cost to shippers, but he denied that the change had been made the purpose of increasing the gross! receipts of the road. On the other hand he maintained that the new rate, considered in all its phases, was more equitable both to shippers and the roads than the former rate. Beyond the spirited cross examination of Mr.

Sargent, who was re- called by Mr. Waters, the representatives of the companies furnished but little evidence in addition to the voluminous extracts from their reeords. A few direct questions to identify various documents were asked by the railroad lawyers, but what they lacked in spirit was furnished by Mr. Waters, who made an effort to deduce logical reason for the change of some rates, to support the action of the roads, but failed. On the whole the compliaannts appear to be well satisfied with the records by the railroads.

One of submitted their attorneys said yesterday afternoon that the case was now won. The railroads, he said, had failed to prove that the new rate is not a radical advance, but had occupied themselves with fruitless efforts to prove the logic of the position they had assumed. The universal feeling among the cattlemen is that they will win this fight.

AND CHEM. Bole Boston. When the claims against Shawnee county for the quarter ending this month shall have been allowed, it will be found that the general revenue fund for the year will have been exhausted. This be. ing the case the officials are becoming alarmed and are figuring on retrenchment.

Judge Hazen has adopted a rule by which it is thought a slight saving can be made. Heretofore it has been the rule to call from the body of the county from twenty-four to thirty-six men to serve as jurors during the coming term of the district court. These men were allowed $2.00 each per day. By Judge Hazen's recent spasm of economy here after but twelve jurors will be drawn from the county and this will be the regular panel. Of course it is not contend.

ed that twelve jurors can attend to all the work which necessarily falls to the jury at any term of the Shawnee district court, and as it will be necessary to choose a large number of talesmen each time a jury is called into the box, these talesmen being chosen from the men who hang around the court house, how much will the saving amount to in a year? And what a chance for those litigants having a long purse, or corporations hind them to push just such fellows as they can handle to the front to serve as talesmen. Is this economy? Suppose, if Shawnee county is in such a financial condition that it is necessary to thus limit the machinery of justice, the county officers should agree to accept less as salary for the remainder of the year. Suppose Judge Hazen starts the ball by donating a portion of his salary for 1896 to Shawnee county. If Shawnee county, along with the other counties of the state, has been "redeemed" and suffered by such demption, suppose the state officers show their faith by their works and contribute out of their abundance. If Shawnee county has become so embarassed financially that these redeemers now become alarmed at the gaunt spectre, bankruptcy, and with blanched faces suddenly seek to avert the calamity, why not the people of the county ask these men to give a strict account of their stewartship? The annual levy for county purposes is in the neighborhood of 890,000, and the expenses exceed $108,000.

Just how much of this expense is necessary and legitimate is hard to tell. Probably un der a "redeeming" administration it is all necessary. Who knows? But the people of the county should "be in subjection to the powers that be" and should "bear ye one another's bur. dens," until excessive taxation eats up their entire substance, when perhaps they will have learned enough to quit voting tor a "yaller dog" simply because it is "on my ticket."
