Human nature is the most freaky
thing on earth, but the most despicable
of the list is the characteristic that
prompts person to rejoice at fellow
downfall Or reverse OF fortune. A
healthy, honorable rivalry. whether
between individuals, corporations or
communities, is not only proper but is,
as a rule, helpful; but the practice of
Selling upon idle rumor, without regard
to its plausability or probable truthful
ness. and magnifying mole hill into a
mountain and drawing upon the imagi-
nation for substance in the absence Of a
shadow, is what displays the exceeding
littleness of some creatures that bear the
human form divine. IT'S true, It's pity;
pity It's It's true.

The defense set up by the Democrats
against the charge of free trade that is
laid against their party, that an average
reduction of five per cent does not war
rant the charge, is but specIous plead
ing. The fact is that the average rate
Of duty might be increased five per cent
and still leave that party III the attitude
of free traders. The increase Of duties
on few articles may be so arranged as
to Offset the decrease on considerable
number and the transfer of many others
to the free list. The decrease in the num-
Der Of articles on the dutiable list and cor
responding increase of the free list is what
tells the tale, and it is Il stubborn fact

The president promptly vetoed the
river and harbor bill passed by the
Forty-ninth congress that appropriated
fourteen millions because, he alleged in
his assigned reasons, it contained sums
for Goose creek and Duck lagoon, which
was an unnecessary waste of public
money. The bill passed by the present
congress appropriates twenty two
millions, with increased amounts for the
localities that made the former measure
Objectionable, and others of the same
sort, but it is permitted to become a law.
The action. or non-actlon, of the presi-
dent in neither approving or vetoing the
bill is a departure from his practice, but
then the national campaign is now on,
and it is not to be expected that he will
do anything that might hazard his
chances Of reelection. You see, it de-

EDUCATION OF THE DEAF AND
DUMB

It is not generally known certainly not
ports, at no expense to parents of deaf
children residing in the state, thor
oughly equipped educational institution,
where there are over two hundred pupils
ranging in age from eight to twenty,
learning to read, write, cipher, and be-
coming familiar with all the various
branches that are ordinarily taught to
children who can hear and talk. Besides,
there is department where quite large
number Of the pupils are taught TO speak
considerable success being reported in
that line. Then, that the deaf boys and
girls may have all the advantages Of
other children, there is an industrial de-
partment where the trades of carpentry,
cabinet making, printing and type set
ting, shoemaking, dressmaking and plain
cooking are taught. The course of
instruction extends about ten years,
but the children all go home to
spend three manthS' vacation during the
summer months. Sixteen especially
trained teachers and other officers are
required to conduct the school. The
school receives all who are so deaf that
their education is not practicable in the
public schools. The superintendent, S.
I. Walker, informs us that the next
term of school will begin the second
week in September, and that the par
ents of new students should correspond
with him as early as practicable before
that time. The institution is under the
control of the State Board OF Charities.
1t is an institution of which our state
should be proud, and if there are any
deaf children in this county, as we have
no doubt there are, our charitably in
clined friends should look them up and
explain the institution to their parents
and report them to Superintendent
Walker at Olathe, Kansas.

As long as the old bandana chieftain
was in Toledo Tuesday he might, without
any very great strain of the rules of
propriety and courtesy, have remained a
few hours and joined the multitude of
his acknowledges in welcoming the
next president Of the United States to
that city. He would also have witnessed
a display of enthusiasm such as he will
not see during the campaign unless he
happens to run into another Harrison re-
ception unawares at some other point.
The dispatches made no mention of even
the slightest demonstration at the arrival
of the Democratic vice-presidential can
didate; in fact the total absence of any
thing like a recognition of his presence
in one Of the principal cities of his own
state cannot but be regarded as a snub

OUR GOVERNOR.

THERE is an incident in the public rec
ord of William K. Merriam which will
not be overlooked nor forgotten. When
the usury bill was under consideration
two years ago, he vacated the speakers
desk and upon the floor delivered one OF
the ablest and most earnest speeches in
behalf of the eight per cent law Al
though a banker, he took the strong
ground that ten per cent interest was too
heavy burden for the farmer and labor
ing man, and held that a reduction OF
the legal maximum rate would trend to
multiply homes for the poor, and ..devel-
ope the farming interests of the state to
the benefit of the individual and the COM
monwealth.
Upon all the issues affecting the inter-
ests of the state at large he has been
found with the people of the state, and
his nomination is due to that fact. St.
Paul and Minneapolis interests were op-
posed to him in convention. He was
was nominated by the rural districts as
their champion and candidate. He had
no support from urban delegations-ev-
cry city opposed him.
Furthermore, he represents the young
blood of the party-the Kids" as the
oil ringsters contemptuously call them.
He had the ardent support Of the anti
