THE New York World is partisan,

and untruthful enough, to remark:
"The republican majority in the
house of represen tatives is rapidly
strengthening itself by the simple
process of voting in the men whom 1t
thinks the people ought to have
elected"
The World knows better but lacks
the courage to say so. The World
knows that out of seven contested
election cases the democratic contest
ants in three cases were given their
seats by a republican house, thing
unprecedented in democratic action
upon republican contests. m 1

A STRAIGHT TIP.

There is a very mistaken notion on
the part of many in this city that the
fair will be held in some fashion,
whether the SOS, 900 bonus is raised or
not. These people think that the
announcement is something like the
old darkey's-"Preachin' in dis place
in two weeks, de Lord willin'; tree
weeks wedder or no." They think
the tair will be held "wedder or no"
and they are led into this belief main
ly through the mistake of last fall.
That mistake will not be repeated.
San Antonio has held her last fair on
six weeks preparation. The Inter-
national fair directors were very much
chagrined over the exhibit made last
fall because it did not correctly rep
resent either this city or the sur
rounding country, but it was the very
best they could do under the circum-
stances. The mistake was in con-
senting to the holding of fair at
all at that late hour and that mistake
has taught them lesson. If this
bonus is not made up by April first
as required in the resolutions adop-
ted by the association then the fair
ground gates will be closed and
locked and all employees dismissed,
and the information given to the pub
lie in the most positive terms that
the matter is settled and that 1t will
it be useless to reopen 1t. Had the
preside nt of the Fair company been
in San Antonio last fall no fair would
have been held, because he wonld
not have permitted the association of
which he is head to stand RESPONSE
BILE for bringing people to this city to
such all abortion as that fair was.
This wear the association has come
into the field with its proposition in
ample time for the people to act. One
month has been waste or will have
been April first, and the matter will
close at that date. Pay up or make
your subscriptions to pay up when
the fair doors are opened October first.
Do this and the fair will be held. Re-
fuse or neglect to do it and the the
fair gates will not open tor any fair
this fall.

PErrtcoAT GOVERNMENT.

Whatever we Chords of creation may
believe of petticoat government, it is the
province of the newspaper to tell the
truth as it may be gathered from any
and all sources. Oskaloosa, Kan. has
lived under petticoat government for
twelve months. The mayor and all mem
bers of the city government were women.
Now they have left office, giving way to
masculine successors. Information from
that place says that the women leave the
city in a vastly better condition than
when they took it. There are improved
streets, better walks and more OF them,
better moral sentiment as to Sunday
observance, and a full treasury instead
of an empty one. Evidently the
spirit of reform has brooded over Oska-
looss of late. The dispatch further as
serts that the women IS administration
"has beer as coed as the best and much
better than the average. They have
shown great frmness, and decided dis
position to have their own way in official
life. They retire with the good will of a
large majority of the people. When
those women took hold of the municipa
government year ago the city was in
debt. Now 1t is out of debt and has
money in the bank. With improved
finances, improved streets and improved
morals, it is in position to testify to the
value Of ''petticoat government. -
Other cities in Kansas have reason to
be thankful this spring that women have
the right to vote at municipal elections.
Their ballots were given to the best can
didates in almost every instance. Though
Oskaloosa has reluctantly said farewell
to its 'alderwomen, 4" the city of Ed
gerton he's chosen complete set of female
officers, after holly contested fight.
During the coming year It's mayor will be
Mrs. W. H. Kelley; ITS police justice,
Mrs. Thomas Greer; its councilmen,
Mrs. s. F. Ewart, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs.
Holden, Mrs. Nat Ross and Mrs. Brown.
Probably they will follow the example of
their sisters in oskaloosa and add to the
glory OF their sex by demonstrating the
value of a municipal government run by
women power.

A. r are Investigating.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-. April 2s.-The state
ment IL printed that local Grand Army
posts here are somewhat excited over the
reports which have been received about
the management OF the soldiers home at
Leavenworth, Kan. Reports relate
chiefly to the treatment of soldiers in the
home, ana COMMITTEES OF three promin-
snt Grand Army men have been appoint
ed TO investigate the matter. 1t is al
legged the old veterans are compelled to
work in private briokyard adjacent to
the home for forty cents day; thar the
''sweat box' and buoking and gagging
are used as modes of punishment; that
the nail of inmates is subjected 90 rigid
scrutiny; that there are instances on
record whers money mailed to soldiers
has failed to reach them.
AFTER THE INVESTIGATION.
Kansas CRY, Mo-. April ga spe-
cial from Leavenworth, kan. says the
investigation ST the soldiers home in re-
gard to the alleged unjust and cruel
treatment Of soldiers. accounts OF which
were contained in dispatches from ST.
Louis to-day, discloses that there is little
color Of truth to the charge. Labor at
the home is not compulsory, and soldiers
are subject to little discipline. Soldiers
have recsived their letters regularly and
promptly, 90 far as could Dc learned.
except IN case OF one soldier named Bsti-
son, butsletters were recently opened by
mistake. The governor aud home post
master we're tried on this charge and the
case was dismissed on trial.

THERE are said to be. in the model
room of the patent ofioe enough corsets
to hold the frames of every woman in
Washington, and enough bustles to put
new springs in the chairs OF both houses
OF congress, and the bulk of these pat
ents we're taken out by women. But
woman has invented some very useful
machines. A New York woman, the
wife OF q banker, while twisting some
worsted, hit upon the idea Of applying
little system of her own to larger
field, aud she invented a machine for
twisting wire rope, which she sold for
S25. 900 and royalty upon future sales.
Another woman has invented profitable
improvement in eXcavators and eleYat-
ors. A Massachusetts girl has invented
the best machine for trimming the leaves
of books, now used by the leading pub
fishers in this country. A Pennsylvania
woman has invented a machine for put
ting iron hoops on barrels, and another
woman from the same state has invented
valuable improvement in microscopes
and another has patented useful fea-
ture of locomotives. But woman is
chiefly noted for inventine jar lifters,
bag holders, fish boners, raisin seeders,
washing machines, skirt lifters, pie
lifters, ironing boards, griddle greasers,
dustpans, crimping machines and every
kind of device for improved clothes.

TITS said to be the truth, and yet it
has not excited much comment, that
more money is going across the sea
than is coming back and that European
exchange, via New York, stays above
par. AZ the same time exports exceed
imports, and this country has sold in
foreign markets large crops OF cotton,
wheat, corn and tobacco, and foreign
syndicates have made extensive pur-
chases in this country. Some hnRnciers
assign as reason for the existing anomaly
that money is Detained in Europe for the

One of the most important cases in
the United States circuit court at this
term was decided last Monday. The
Jury in the bond case of the Ninth Ma
tional bank of New York City against
Saline county returned a verdict in
favor of the defendant. Over 1872 900
were involved in the matter. When
the old Louisiana and Missouri river
railroad company proposed their road,
the county of Saline favored the pro-
position in every possible way and
voted $4O0, 900 worth OF county bonds
TO enable the promoters of the improve
ment TO build their road. Before the
bonds were issued a question arose as
10 whether the railroad company could
carry on operations south OF the Mis-
souri, river. An injunction was issued
to restrain the payment of the bonds
and it was taken to the supreme court
on a writ of error. While this action
was pending the city Of Marshall voted
$40. 900 worth of township bonds for a
track and depot to induce the road 10
come there. These bonds were accept
cd by the railroad on the condition
that they were TO be cancelled and
county bonds Issued in their stead as
soon as the supreme court decided the
case before n. The court decided
against the road and the charter was
amended in order that the road might
be constructed south of the river, but
the road was never built. The attor-
neys for the county claim the township
bonds we're non-negotiable, for the
reason that they were issued and stated
on their face TO take the place of county
bonds. The railroad company ,notwith-
standing sold them to the Ninth Nation
al bank of New York.
