1t is announced that Frank Uurd. of
OHIO. is coming TO Kansas to make some
speeches, presumably in the interest of
his old neighbor, Judge Thurman. but in
reality in his own behalf-with view
to future operations looking to a return
to congress from this state. Franks eff
forts in that behalf in Kansas will be
loves labor lost. He would do better to
follow the path of lns erstwhile Buckeye
confrere, Sunset Cox, and go east and
fasten himself upon the metropolitan
Democracy. His free trade vagaries did
him up in Ohio and would only serve
him like fate in Kansas.

An Iowa court has decided that state
prohibition laws do not and cannot pre-
vent the importation and sale Of liquor
in unbroken packages. Attorney Gen
eral Bradford has given it as his opinion
that the laws of this state cover the
liquor traffic in all forms and shapes,
but it is probable that some one will pre-
fer to accept the opinion of the Iowa
court to that of Kansas attorney general
and make ground for test of the ques-
ton. The fellow that does so will be
wiser-but poorer. Every phase of Kan
sas prohibitory law has been tested be-
fore the courts and the law has been sus-
tanned every time.

Rumors about the varying fortunes of
the two parties in Maine, where the vote
will be taken September 10, are very in
teresting. as they always are about this
time. The latest one comes from New
York to the effect that the Democrats
have sent 100000 there as an outside
fund to help elect their candidates. The
fact is that the Republican majority in
Maine in presidential years is SO sure
and so large that the Democrats never
have any hopes to carry the state
especially when Mr. Blaine is personally
in the fight as now-and must know
that every dollar sent there would be
worse than wasted. Democatic man
ayers do not put their money in such
states as Maine and Vermont.

One Of Henry Laboucher's German
correspondents, whom ne vouches for as
''well informed" writes him that Mott
ke's retirement was the result of a hint
from the palace; that Waldersee's pro-
motion to the head of the army was a
bitter pill to Bismarck, who dislikes the
man cordially; and that the recent inn
perial visit to the car was decided upon
and carried out in the teeth Of Bis
marck's disapproval. "The young and
headstrong emperor says the cores
pendent, ''has completely emancipated
himself from the chancellor's control"

were true, but there are more reasons

Notwithstanding the passage of the
Mills bill wheat has risen several cents in
value. Explain this to the farmer, ye
protection croakers.-Abilene Gazette.
The rise in the price Of wheat was the
result, as far as the Mills bill is con-
cerned, of the public assurance that that
measure will not become law, thereby
disturbing the industrial interests of the
country, the basis of good wages and
fair prices ON our home market, and by
the further fact that the worlds crop is
reported considerably short of the aver
age yield. Is that satisfactory?

make all of the other dollars, which are
represented by dollars worth of energy,
worth just enough less to absorb and de-
stroy the existence OF the 500 OF fiat
money, leaving the situation the same.
There is another defect in the Labor
Union party's remedy. If you issue
enough fiat money TO pay the debt of
every debtor in the United States. will
not labor and capital still retain the same
relation TO each other? Suppose there are
30, 600. GOO debtors and 10. 600. 900 creditors
or capitalists in the United States. Loan
the 80, 900. 600 debtors enough fat money
to paw their 10. 900 900 creditors, and. as
the labor union proposes, let the govern
ment take mortgages as security for the
money so advanced the debtors. The
30, 600, 900 creditors take the money and
pay it ali over to the 10. 600, 900 creditors:
the governments mortgage comes due
What then: The same debtors must
borrow back the same money at whatever
rate the 10, 900, 900 choose to charge them
for il to pay the govesnment back with.
Is the situation changed any? Well
saws the labor union, eve will be re-
Eeved of oppression during the time that
we are mortgaged 10 the government,
will we not:" Yes. if the government
could give this money TO the laboring
man and not TO the capitalist there
might be temporary relief, but the gov
eminent cannot treat Its subjects differ
entity. All would have the same chance
10 get this fat money. Those who had
no security could get none OF it. The
capitalist would get the mos; OF il and
would loan II TO the rest at profit above
what they had to pay the government
for the use of it. Fiat money, II created,
would be divided among the men OF the
country pro rata, according TO the pres

The bill to restrict immigration, intro
duced in the House Of Representatives last
week 10y Congressman Oates of Alabama, i,
a move in the right direction 1t was
framed TO cover the results of the Ford in
va,ri%ation Of some months ago and there is
abundant reason why it should receive
prompt consideration at the hands of Con
grr-o, one provision of the bill levies tax
of s25 upon every alien who comes to the
United States, the tax to be collect ut by the
collector Of customs at the port of entry
from the owner or master of the vessel
bringing the immigrant. Agents of foreign
governments or persons travelling for in
otruction or amusement are exempt
cd from the tax and persons who
come for temporary residence with us
win have the tax refunded upon their de
parture. Another provision TO guard against
the immigration Of mwelcome persons re
quircs every intending immigrant, three
months before embarlling for this country,
to obtain from the United States consul or
consular agent nearest his residence, a certi-
licate showing that he does not belong to
any of the prohibited classes, such as idiots
lunatlcs, paupers, conyicts, ex-conVicts,
pOlYgamistS, anarchists, socialists per
sons afflicted with oathsome diseases
or persons under contract to labor
and no master of vessel may receive
immigrant, ON board without such certif-
Gates Prohibited persons who enter this
country are punishable by fine and imprison-
mcnt and citizens who bring such persons
here are liable to the same punishment. and
if such persons are brought here they will be
sent back at the expense of the transporta-
ton company that brought them if they are
detected at any time within two years of
their arrival Another provision for check
ing excessive immigration limits the number
of persons which any vessel may bring to
the ,nited States to five for each 100 tons
capacity of the vessel. Thus a 1000 ton
vessel can bring only % immigrants. A fine
not exceeding $500 is imposed for each pas
senger in excess of this number.
Ii will thus be seen that the bill is not
only comprehensive and stringent in its
character but it also calls for the employ
ment of IA large number of government de
tectives and agents in both home and for
eign ports, and IA consequent liberal annual
appropriation for their maintenance. But
no good American who has given the matter
any consideration will deny the fact that
the unrestricted immigration of undesirable
classes is fast becoming menace to our in
stitutuns and IA stumbling block in the way
of national prosperity.
