The ..Ne- Era ,,

Somebody who is evidently I'M
willing to be known in the matter,
has had printed and issued cireu-
lar entitled ''The New Era" Osten-
sibly devoted to defeating Hon. w.
r. Brown for Congress in this dis
trict. We say that is its ostensible
purpose, for the real effect of most
of its statements will be go much In
favor of Mr.. Brown that if any
of his friends have gotten it up
they have done pretty good thing
for him. Its first page is accupa-
MED with the most startling array
of statistics ever before seen in
print. The figures given of the
supply of gold discount the Arabi-
an Nights by 200 per cent, and il
within five thousand millions of be-
ing correct they would justify Mr..
Brown in voting for purely gold
metallic currency. The getters up
of the "New Era" should continue
its publication regularly every
month until the Congressional con.
vention is over, and then present
the bill to Mr.. Brown, who will, il
nominated, largely owe his success:
to this extraordinary attempt tC
snow him under when the Their.
monitor is up in the nineties.

School closed week before last,
Miss Flora Frederick of your city has
been teaching in our school for nearly
two years; first, in the primary and
the last term in the graded depart

only in teaching, but in government,
as well as in harmonizing discordant
elements. We are sorry to part with
Flora, but are pleased to know that
she is to have a school in Emporia,
and hope some day to see her in our
school again.

UnmItIsated NEeanness.

The Ohio and Mississippi rail-
road has generally enjoyed fair
reputation in this section of Kansas,
and has received due share of the
patronage of our people. We think
its management has generally been
fair, and consequently we were
greatly surprised, in passing over
it some days ago, to see its con due
tor between Vincennes and Cincin-
natl, after ne had been through
the car we were in to collect the
tickets, engage in piece of bust
ness which we consider simply
outrageous. The act consisted in
passing through the car and col
Letting fares from the small child
rem. The conductor stated that his
instructions were to collect half fare
for all children from to 10 years of
age, and full fare for those over ten.
OF course the passengers protested,
but in vain. The conductor from
st. Louis to Vincennes did not de-
mand this "blood money" for child
rem, and so note was addressed to
the officers to ascertain whether the
Vincennes and Cincinnati conduc-
tor was really acting under instruc-
tions from head quarters, as the
collection of half fare for child
rem five to ten years old was an I'M
heard of proceeding. We regret to
state that the officers fully sustain
the conductor. We travelled, in
our rounds, over eight different
roads, and on no other one OF
them was this outrage committed,
that we could see or hear Of. We
mention this matter at this time so
that our readers, many of whom
arc contemplating trip east, may
know what sort of blood-suckers
are managing the Ohio and Missis-
sippi road, in order that they may
avoid it, especially if they are &C
companied by their children. We
never before heard of a railroad en-
gsging in such unmitig a.
cd msanness, and the public should
not patroni re one that would
d oft. There are several other
routes to the east, every one Of
which is in every way pleasanteI
than the o. s. NJ. This road runs
through a dreary, monotonOus
country most all the way, is exceed
ingly dusty, and the cars are not
provided with water except by the
old fogy method of being peddleG
in dirty looking tin cups, by g
waiter. The Vandalia, the Toledo
Wabash s. Western, and the Chics
go routes, are all in every wa!
pleasanter, just as cheap, and we d.
not believe they will engage in TIN
meanness of collecting money 70
your little children, after getting
themon the cars.

at last people became so accustomed
TO using the representative pieces
they forget there was any other.
This seems to me to be the troub-
lie with our inflationist friends
they forget what our currency rep
resents. l ask, in all candor, what
would be thought of a business
man who should issue non-interest
bearing notes and when they came
due should proprose to exchange
them with those who preferred, for
interest bearing notes, and when
pressed for an answer as to when
he should pay, should reply that his
non.interest clearing notes were
based on his interest bearing ones,
and you could take your choice
which you would have, as he didn't
expect ever to pay either, and that
it was q great deal better for every
one that they should not be paid.
And yet the inflationisis make this
proposition in regard TO govern
ment notes, and expect us to re-
ceive it as good sense.
Basing the currency on bonds, on
| the "wealth of the country" &c, is
a good deal like my basing my note
on my neighbours COW 1T don't hurt
the cow any, and isn't of any
use when the note comes due. Ii
reminds me OF the endless serpent
of the ancient Hindus on which the
world was said to lest. Mr.. Ora
ham don't believe the banks could
resume if government could, and
wants me to "arise and explain"
(which the same it is plain" l will
try to do. I will only mention one
of the several ways it might be
done, as it is not q question of the
best way, but of ability to do it all.
Suppose that every government
note could be redeemed in gold by
presenting it at the treasury in
Washington, .. that would be practi-
cal resumption on The part of gov
eminent. Now for every $4,000
of notes issued by the banks they
have deposited in Washington
100000 i4Worth of bonds; those
bonds were worth thair face in the
worlds markets. The banks could
retire every dollar of their note cir
culation, and put in circulation $10,-
600 more in gold, on every $4,000
than they now have in national
bank notes. Next week ] will try
to show what l understand money
is and what some of it's Offices are
and why am in favoTof gold as the
only legal-tender, and not "gOld
and silver" nor greenbacks.

FRONI WASHINGTON.

w WASHINGTON, ID. u, july II, 1916.
The ten days extension of the
fiscal year having elapsed, another
extension of ten days has been
nI,.de, so az to keep the wheels of
the government in motion, but lit
tie hopes are felt that the dead lock
will be broken even when this ex-
tension is up. Both parties in Con-
gress have been SO loud in their
boasts of what they would and
would not do, that neither one
feels that it can consistently "eat
crow" and recede from the stand
which they have taken. If the
Lord, in his divine goodness and
mercy, would only send tie whole
troop of them out to grass for sew
en- years, as he did Nebuchadnezzar,
of old, we Westinghouse, at lea st,
would bow in meek submission to
his will, and heartily say famen.'
We have again been called on to
entertain Royal visitor, in the per-
son of Don Carlos, the late would
be King of Spain. Unlike Dom Pc.
dro, he does not make the slightest
attempt to go sight seeing, or to
study our institutions, but spends
his time III smoking and trying to
keep cool. Although able to speak
English, he refuses to do so. but is
willing to converse in Spanish
French, or Italian. His whole poll
cy seems to be summed up in the
short sentence "Let me alone and
mind. your own business" It il
said that he IS being closely watched
by the Spanish agents, as he is sus
pected of being on his way to Gu
ba for the purpose of aiding the in-
surrection there.
In the last few weeks, Secretaries
Bristow and Jewell, Treasurer

best known to the President.
The impeachment trial is still &C.

nap regularly portion of what hG
got for the Fort Sill leadership, bu
had no regular agreement with him
but, although he had no regular
i agreement, either Belknap or hi
wife was always around when TIT
/ money was due. Mrs. BelknaI
i lorded it with high hand in socie-
ty, and snubbed Mrs. Marsh becaus,
she was only "post traders wife.

band bought many of the fine feath-
ers that helped to make Mrs. B. &

who take brides from post trad
ers," and from that one remarl
comes all this exposure. INDEX.

Southern Democracy

The recent massacre of colored
citizens at Hamburg, South Caroli-
ma, was more outrageous and bru-
tai than tie Indian massacre of
Custer and his men, because the In
dams had some reason for killing,
and the southern democrats had
none. 1t appears from the account
of the Charleston News, the leading
democratic organ of South Carolina,
that colored militia company had
been duly organized and eq tipped
according to law, in the little town
of Hamburg, near the Georgia line.
While this company was peacably
parading on the 4th of July, two
white men undertook TO drive
through its ranks in a buggy, and
were very proper prevented
from so doing SO by the bayonets
of the militia. The whites sum-
moned the soldiers to appear be-
fore the colored justice OF the
peace for unlawtully obstructingthe
highway, and the counsel for the
whites, ex-rebel Gen. Butler, per-
suaded the justice to order the COM
pany to be disarmed. But as the
company was armed in accordance
with law, it refused to surrender
its weapons. Whereupon General
Butler headed a mob of white men
mostly from Georgia, and besieged
the colered troops in their armory.
The latter resisted, and several cas-
ualties occurred on both sides be-
fore the armory was captured, and
the colored men disarmed. Gen.
Butler put them under guard to be
taken to Jail at Columbi But af-
ter several days retention ten OF
them were selected, marched out,
and shot down in cold blood, and
in some instances the bodies were
hacked with. hatchets and knives
and otherwise mutilated. Tho
white guards then pillaged the
houses of the colored people, iuclu.
ding the house of the colored JUS
tice who had obeyed their comman'
der. They then returned to Geor.
gia, leaving the colored PEG
pie frightened into submission
and the widows and children of the
murdered in frantic grief. And
yet we are asked to vote for Tilden
and restore the democratic party tt
national power.

and rob soldiers and CIVILIANS of
them when ever they have an OPP
portunitY. In this way, they have

become very generally armed with

large stores of ammunition.
