A DISPATCH tells of hunger and des-
titution among the miners at Spring
Valley, Illinois, and says that help is
absolutely necessary in order to pre-
vent death from starvation and expos
ure. We sometimes read of such ak
amples of poverty and want among
Europe's ''paupers'' but not often.
Over there such examples, when oe-
curing, are regarded as matter of
course, the legitimate results of vic
ious and one sided institutions and
laws. BuC with us, whose economic
system is framed for the express pur-
pose of preventing poverty and hunger
in a wholesale way, it is, or should be,
quite different. In this land of the
free, hunger and nakedness should
not dare to show their heads much less
to parade their ghastliness before the
public in the light of day. But they
do, and the fact that they do, prompt:
the inquiry, what's the cause?

Harvest Home nay

Sunday was Harvest Home
Day at the First Christian church.
The commodioUs auditorium was ap-
propriately decorated with grains.
fruits, etc. The choir. under the able
leadership of Prof. D. S. Kelly, Choir
lister, assisted by Prof. Dickerson and a
portion IF his orchestra, furnished de-
iightful music. Elder F. M. Rains of
Topeka preached able sermons. But
the best of it all to the church, the
debt that has been resting upon their
house for six years was all provided
for. At the close of the morning SER
mon, Mr.. Rains made an appeal for
money for this purpose. and in a short
time got sI,7OO in pledges. to be paid
in sixty days. Among those pIedging
were: Ladies' Aid society. S225; j. T.

ALLIANCES, wheels, oranges and
similar organizations among the farm
ers for the purpose of lighting the
trusts and combines, are getting more
numerous every day. They will ac-
compl:sh as much as the rabbits would,
should they combine against the hunt
ers. The hardships which the farm
ers are roaring and kicking against are
the legitimate results of an economic
system for which they are themselves
to blame. They have placed the sad
die on their own backs, and are whin-
ng and groaning because the trusts
and monopolists choose to ride then
to death. The only relief for them ii
to unhorse their jockeys. They must
do it themselves. No one else will dc
it for them. Their plants and wall
| ings will avail them nothing so Ions
as they remain pack-horses.

AN excellent cartoon for Puck would
be a representation of Uncle Sam
standing on the Chinese wall of the
tariff, and looking off to the south,
says to our neighbors of Mexico, Cen
trail and South America, "Come now,
let us be neighborly, and give me your
trade instead of buying what you need
in Europe" In discussing the matter
Of trade relations between this country
and our South American neighbors,
the Globe Democrat took into account
the obstacle presented by the tariff
to a satisfactory arrangement, such as
would result in an enlarged market for
our products. To ask South America
to buy of us, while we refuse to let in
many of her products without paying a
heavy toll, seems ridiculous. There
fore the Globe, which by the way. is
chaflng greatly in protection harness,
says on this point.
Although, as has been said, the tar

lars have beon s to every cor
p0ratiOn doing business under the
laws of the state, asking each to make
an afidavit that it IS In no way con-
nected With any pool or trust. If tire
fuses to do so, proceedings under the
antitrust law viii at once be taken
against it. The circulars have, it seems
aroused the manufacturers and cor
porations to q sense Of their danger.
OF course they are kicking. That was
to be expected.
They claim that manufacturing con-
Germs became so numerous and compe-
tition so sharp, that in order to forth
fyp themselves, they were forced to
pool their interests, restrict their out
put and of course shove up prices.
Such harmless, innocent and purely
conservative course they think is per
fectly legitimate. and ought not in
their jugdment, to call down upon their
heads the condemnation and penalties
of the Law. 1t may be a little hard
on the aforesaid trusts to have to sub
NIT to the law of competition like 9TH
ers, and cease from levying what
amounts to blackmail on the public.
They claim too that rank injustice
will be done them If the law is exc
cuted, because they will be at the
mercy of trusts in other states, and
that since trusts are not prohibited in
all the states, they should not be
hampered or interfered with in any
state. This like saying that because
all men can not be coereed into obedi-
ence to law. no one should have penal
ties denounced against him for steal
ing. That is refreshing plea, to be
sure, and illustrates beautifully the
effrontery and audaeity with which
these cormorants, these much eoddled
''infants,' - urge their unholy peten-
sions and rights to rob and plumber
at will. Because Illinois or Indiana
does not muzzle its robbers, Missouri
should notl Because they and many
other states permit the trust iniquity
Missouri should What is a general
evil should not be checked locally. The
people of any particular state should
submit tamely to good fleeing, since
they know that they are no worse of
than those of other states!
Such is the logic of the trusts. Uni
versal wrong makes individual right;
and competition is an enemy to sue
cessful business methods. If the au-
thorities of Missouri do not execute
the law as it is against such rapaci-
Gus plunderers, they ought to be
incontinently kicked out of office and
more honest men put in their places.

HITHERTO grammarians, biologists

two sexes, male and female, which
division has, it must be confessed.
given pretty general satisfaction. The
Individual who did not fill the require

classes, was regarded as nobody, and
taken no account of. Colonel Murdoch
of the Wichita Eagle, who is now un-
happily in chronic state of rebellion,
and therefore disposed to quarrel with
the established order in biology, as
well as in politics, is not satisfied with
the classification, and thinks that an
other should be added. He would have
it that there are, of right. three sexes,
male, female and wOman's suhfragists.
