Gn aLoH.

We have no right to adyise Democrats
but We have right to remind Repbli-
can congressman that the people will not
stand the raids now attempted to be
made on the public treasury by congress
No one thing did more to promote the
political revolution Of two years ago
which turned some sixty Republicans
out OF the house of Representatives and
gave their places to Democrats, than the
passage OF the shameful thirty million
appropriation bill for river and harbor
jobbery. 1t was thought that schemes
against the treasury had reached their
climax that session. But they seem TO
be as plentiful as ever. The senate has
just passed law which provides tor the
expenditure Of nearly eighty millions
OF dollars out of the national treasury
for an educational scheme. And to say
nothing Of the enormous increase
of pensioners, which are daily be-
ing added to the list, perhaps cor
rectly. there are now pending PROPOSE.
lions to make appropriations for oyer
forty public buildings, which will re-
quire from $4,000 to 100000 each.
We suggest that this is pIliDg on little
more than the people will stand, and we
especially advise Republican congress
men TO go u little slow. As in the
scramble two years ago money was giY-
en- for the improvement of unhearj OF
rivers, so now congressman are seeking
heavy appropriations for buildings in
towns which have no more use for ex.
pensive public buildings than a wagon
has for five wheels.
The Democrats seem to be just as
hungry as the Republicans were two
years ago, and while they have made
for several years, loud professions of a
desire TO decrease the surplus revenue
by reducing the taxes and tariff
their appropriation bills are SC
enormous as TO convict them
of inconsistency and insincerity
The tendency Of legislation by congress
Is constantly to lead to the idea that the
government is to take care of the people
and support those who seem to be In
disposed TO support themselves, by
appropriations out of the nation
al treasury. and hence this constantly
increasing clamOr for appropriations fol
objects which ten years ago no one
would have thought of invoking nation
al aid for. No member Of the present
congress need desire better record witt
which to return to his constituents thar
that which he would make by voting
against the educational bill and tn
whole batch of appropriations for public
buildings. Go slow, gentlemen, becaus
you will speedily be called to an account
Remember the thirty million river ant
harbor steal which broke the camel
| back two years ago.

If four members OF the state central
committee of the Republican party had
met at Topeka and appointed the dele
gates to the national convention OF the
party, what q howl there would have
been among the Greenbackers about the
base usurpation OF the peoples rights
and the tottering of the temple of free
dom. They would have torn their HAIR
from one end of the state to the other
over the outrage; and yet that is just
what tho Greenback state committee has
done. Four members of that commit
tee met at Topeka ON Wednesday, and,
without consulting the members of the
party throughout the state, or giving
them any chance to express themselves
as to who should represent them in the
national convention of their party at In
dianapolls, appointed four delegates to
the convention and adopted a resolution
in favor of Butler for preAdent

western Kansas sheep shearing.


WAKEENY, Kans., April 1.-THE sec
ond annual sheep sbeaTing of the West
ern Kansas Wool Growers Association
was held in this city yesterday and the
day before. The attendance ofthe sheep
men and those interested in their sue
cess was quite large. Among others
were Harry Brown, of Walter
Brown s. Co, of Boston,
Mass; Mr.. Gregory, of Gray, Gould &
Dewey, Boston; F. g. Willard, a prom
inent sheep man of Colorado. The
shearing lasted week and half. The
lack of shearers prevented the shearing
of all the sheep which were brought in.
Thoroughbred merinOs predominated
a few merino grades were also shoTn
from the flock of Adams 81 Fleet, of
Cove county. Five shearers we're In
competition for three prizes. Among
the heavy fleeces were, first, three rams
belonging to F W. Miller, shearing
next in point OF weight were
two rams belonging to {. II. Gibbs,
which sheared respectively 81 and 241a
| thirteen months growth which sheared
| 81 pounds, the carcass. weighing but
3211 pounds. j. NJ. Ostrander's four
rams sheared 1914 pounds. Adams anu
Flett's four grade sheap averaged 10
| pounds of wool each. II Is the
| prevailing opinion of sheep men and
| visitors tina. the three Miller rams were
hesvilyIdoped to secure heavy weight
The sheep interests of this region are
| growing in importance and are among
| the established industries.

Senator John Sherman: am some
what surprised that the great financial
men OF New York do not seem to appre-
clate the changes that may come to the
business interests OF the country by the
quotation some morning of gold at a
premium, and especially the enormous
contraction this would produce by the
sudden characterization of gold and gold
certificates. Whenever the time comes
that gold is quoted at premium il
ceases to be currency as much as corn
or wheat or cotton. 1t becomes a com.
modify, like any other commodity, to be
bought and sold at The market price
No man can estimate the effect OF such
an enormous contraction of the current
money, though the first impression would
be that the silver standard, being the
cheaper standard, would make times east
or and prices higher. But this view doe.
not take notice of the contraction of the
currency. The resumption of specie pay
ments advanced prices and increased
the currency and made times easier
The characterization of gold is likely L
have the same effect as the use OF depre
ciated paper money had before resump
ton.

a MEASURE THAT OUGHT TO
PASS

PASS.
No man can reside for any length of
time at q railroad center, such as ours,
without being impressed with the
fearful chances which man takes who
occupies the position Of brakeman on
railroad train. The precarious nature Of
this calling has been emphasized again
and again in the most mournful manner
in this community, and scarcely day
passes but that We see accounts of unfor-
tunate train men meeting death IN the
performance OF their duty on
the great carrying thoroughiares of
the country. This class of wage-workers
without adequate reward for the fearful
risks which they incur are engaged in
an avocation which contributes vastly
to the material prosperity of the people
and no effort which contemplates their
security should be left unemployed by
the corporations demanding their servi-
ces.
In this connection we desire to CON-
mend IN the highest terms the bill re.
Gently introduced in the senate by MT
Bowen, of Colorado, and to call upon
the press everywhere to advocate its
passage by both houses of congress. Il
provides that railroad companies will

[ purchased or built so equip
, ped as to admit of their beinl
coupled without 1t being necessary TO

ling the same, where the cars are at rest
!. the company using such car or cars shall

: shall die from such injury, $500 as pen

Kansas Man and the Old Trick
ST.. JOSEPH, No., April TIA very
bold and sharp confidence game was
PLAYED to-d ay on the north bound Kan
sas City train, between here and VIM
throp Junction, by which an old man
named Abraham Brock, who has been
living at Yates Center. Kas., was robbed
of 81 500. Brock recently sold his farm
in Woodson county for $1,70O, and he
gave 1900 10 his vile. They were
bound 10 Warsaw, l. T, where Brock
has two sons in business. During the
forenoon a well dressed man entered the
car and asked Brock to let him share his
seat, and proceeded TO make himself
agreeable. He asked Brock his destina-
ton. Brock said he and his family
were going to Warsaw, /. 4. the
stranger expressed surprise, saying
that he too was going TO War
saw. where he had store, and then told
Brock he knew TWO very nice men there.
Mrs. Brock, who had become greatly
interested in the stranger, SAID, "Why,
them's our boysfr The stranger then
said his name was Simpson; that
he had been in st. Louis
buying a large stock Of goods
He seemed to know everybody at War
saw, and after talking about
several people known 20 the
Brooks. he excused himself saying he
wanted to take a smoke. After the train
left Winthrop Simpson came back into
the car apparently In great trouble, and
told Mrs. Brock that his goods were
here and would be held unless
he Epaid for them, and that
unless he could get 1900 he would lose
them all, and produced bogus draft for
So, 900 and asked them to let him have
81 500 until they got to the union depot,
where they could get the check cashed
| and pay themselves for the use of the
| money Old man Brock demurred,
| but Mrs. Brock, whom the stranger
had completely captured, insisted
on letting Simpson haye the money
till they got 10 the union depot. Before
the train arrived Simpson skipped, and
on arrival the Brooks found that they
had been robbed. Mrs Brock went on
with the rest of the party. while Brock
and his little daughter stayed over &c

Dayton Journal: Between wool and

promised positively a restoration of the

old tax was presented to the house the
Democratic majority, after half an hours
debate, deliberately kicked it out Con.
verse says this action of the house will
cost the Democrats of Ohio $4,000 votes
he is Democrat and perhaps ought tC

$4,000 and be perfectly satisfied. Their
comes the whisky question. The Dem
Ocrats pledged themselves to the salooI
people to repeal the Scott law, as al
equivalent for Influence, votes and money
sufficient to secure majority in the leg

full all that was demanded, Democrat

but the Scott law still stands.
