quarter billion dollars.

Kansas has experienced a few

Middle-of-the-road Populism pos
sesses the courage of its convictions.
But the other variety possesses the
faculty for political dickering.
Indications are that our total for
eign trade for the fiscal year ending
June IH) next will be $300,000,000
larger lhau in the year ending Juue
30, 1899.
We have Imported $70,000,000
worth more free goods this fiscal
year, up to April 30, than in the
corresponding ten months of the last
fiscal vear.
It was only six months after Pres
ident McKinley's inauguration that
the New York Herald, on Septem
ber !, 1897, published a table show
ing "how the idle army is decreas

i l"7,70() handicraftmen lc-
longed, showing that 26,150 more
men had found work within a year,
and that 132,350 were employed in
1897, as compared wilh only 106,
200 in 1896. It i- Bate to Bay that
every one of the 157,700 is at work

Side Path Law Uncon
stitutional Judge Simouton, of Harrtsburg,
handed down Tuesday an opinion
I declaring the Bicycle Sidepath law
! unconstitutional. He says :
"The making and maintaining of
j streets, roads, sidewalks or sitlepaths
of whatever kind are certainly mun
: icipal functions; one of the most ini-
Mirtant duties of municipalities is to
make and maintain these, and if the
Commission provided for in the act
in question should exercise the pow
ers delegated to them by the act,
they would unquestionably be per
forming a 'municipal functiou.' We
cannot doubt, therefore, that the act
is repugnant of the section of the
constitution above quoted.
"We are by no means satisfied
that it is not also repugnant to oilier
clauses of Abe constitution, but do
not consider it necessary to deter
mine this. We rest our decision on
the conclusion we have just stated."

A Splendid Autograph Picture of the
President Free to Everybody.
A short time ago when President Mc
Kinley sat for a photograph, which he
has pronounced the u-st ever secured.
A copy of this portrait, in colors, with
facsimile of the President's signature,
on eaeli picture, will be given fret- with
every cony of the great "Philadelphia
Sunday Press" next Stmilay (June 10).
It is a souvenir everyone Is certain to
prise, both because f Its merit ns a
work o.'art iiuii its timeliness, in view
of the fact that McKinlev is oerta n to
be renominated at the National Con
vention week after next. The si.e of
the picture is 14 by 120 inches, and ev
ery one will lie perfect. The demand
will Ik- great; hence It will be well to
order next Sunday's "Preas" early.
I consider it not only a pleasure
but a duty I owe to my neichbors
to tell about the wonderful cure ef
fected in my ease by the timely use
of Chamberlaiu's Cholera, Colic and
Diarrhoea Remftdy. I was taken
very badly with flux and procured a
bottle of this remedy. A few doses
effected a permanent cure. I take
