Who Are the Millionaires7

The republican press is making a
great ado over the election of Calvin s.
Brice to the United States senate.
The Great Bend Register and few
other minor sheets, are most agitated
over the fact that democrat has been
chosen, and that that democrat s'counts
his money by the millions" as the Reg
lister puts it, sticks in their gizzard
Personally. We were not altogether in
favor of Brice, our choice being a man
in more humble circumstances but what
sounds most absurd and ridiculous il
the following expression which the
Register man sees tit to use:
ssIt is characteristic of the democratic
party; that for a democrat to hold an
Office of Importance he must have q
bag of gold.''
We would respectfully refer sucl
brainy men as the Register is so fortu-
nate to have one, to look up the con-
gressional directory and to ascertain or
which side of the house the milli0nares
are to be found, and then please report
It will be of interest to our voters

La Barton County, In?

A meeting to organize a state inn
migration association was held a few
weeks ago, at Wichita. 1t was attended
by quite a respectable number of dele
gates, and plans were there put on
foot looking to the uniting of the entire
state in an effort to place before the
public the advantages of Kansas as an
agricultural state. There are now
eighty-six counties in the association.
Is Barton one of them? If not, why
not? There certainly can be no reason
why this county, with its reputation
for productiveness, should stay out OF
an association which will bring into
our state just such men as are wanted
to further its prosperity. We know of
no steps having been taken to have
Barton county enter the immigration
bureau, but believe she should do 50 dt
once.
Secretary Cowley, of the association,
or bureau, says: II am daily in receipt
of letters from German, Swede,
Scandinavian and Polish immigration
agencies in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and Buffalo. asking that the
Kansas immigration bureau cooperate
with them, and promising in that event
to turn the entire tide of their immigra-
tion to Kansas. and stating that they
were already tired of the northern
ATTITUDES and also the extreme south
or coast localities, and that their peo-
pie have, after careful investigation,
determined upon the rich fields and
equable seasons of Kansas as home,
provided that the transportation can
be provided them as in other states"
Barton county should certainly be in
this association, and we hope to see
the proper parties take immediate steps
to place it there

DIR. Dubinski, of Kronstadt (Russia),
reports that within the last ten years
thirty cases have come under his OBJ
servation of peculiar ophthalmic affec-
ton occurring in young sailors whose
duty had obliged them to remain and
sleep in the vicinity of electric lights.
He calls the affection :'photo-electrical
ophthalmia." 1t occasions partial blind
ness and renders light intolerable. What
is most singular is that sleep appears to
be an Indispensable condition for the
manifestation of photo-electrical OPP
thalmia.

The Blair Bill,

The american Sentinel of New York,
a journal whose motto is: Equal and
exact justice to all men, of whatever
state or persuasion, religious or
political" pertinently says, concerning
the Blair bill which the present con-
gress will attempt to pass:
THE NEW BLAIR SUNDAY BILL.
Section one of the bill reads: -:sBe
it enacted by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled, that
no person or corporation, or agent,
servant, or employee of any person or
corporation, or in the service of the
United States in time of peace, except
IN the necessary enforcement of the
laws, shall perform, or authorize to be
performed, any secular work, labor, or
business to the disturbance of others,
works of necessity and mercy and
humanity expected; nor shall any
person engage in any play, game, or
amusement, or recreation to the dis
turbance of others on the first day of
the week, commonly known as Sunday,
or during any part thereof, in any
Territory, district, vessel, or place
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction OF
the United States; nor shall it be law
full for any person or corporation to
receive pay for labor or service per-
formed or rendered in violation of this
section"
That declares that no person within
the Jurisdiction of the United States
shall perform or authorize to be per-
formed, and secular work, labor or busi-
ness to the disturbance of others upon
the first day of the week. Now secular
means, pertaining to this present
world. or to things not spiritual or
holy; relating to things not immedi-
ately or primarily respecting the soul
but the body; worldly"
Now we should like for some of these
Sunday-law folks to tell US how the
congress of the United States is going
to find out, so as authoritatively to
state, what werk, labor, OF business it
is that properly pertains to another
world, on Sunday or at any other time.
More than this. we should like for them
to tell US how congress is to find out
whether there is any other world than
this. and especially how it is to find
this out and make it to be so clearly
discerned that the recognition of it can
be enforced by law upon all the peoples
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1890-01-30

We should like, also for some of them
to tell how congress is to discover what
work it is that properly pertains to the
peoples souls on Sunday; or indeed,
whether the people have any souls?
How is congress to know whether there
is life to come? And if congress shall
discover all this to It's own satisfaction,
then will congress insure to all the peO-
pie happy issue in that life to come,
upon condition that they will observe
the Sunday laws?
These are not captious questions,
they are entirely pertinent. For when
it is proposed that this nation by legis-
latiye acts shall commit itself to the
guardianship of the affairs of the world
to come, of mems souls, and of another
life; and when the people are asked to
consent to it; it is strictly proper for
the people to inquire. How shall the
state make that thing success?
The truth is, that the state csn never
have anything to do with the world to
come or with the question as to whether
there is one to come at all. The state
can never have anything to do with
mems souls or with the question as to
whether men have any souls. The
state can never have anything to do
with the life to come or with the
question as to whether there is any life
to come. No state will ever reach the
world to come nor will any state ever,
in the least degree, be partaker of the
life that is to come. The state is of
this world wholly, 1t has to do only
with the affairs of this world, and with
men as they are in this world. The
state has to do only with mems bodies,
and to see that the lives which men
lead are civil.
Nor do we raise these questions be-
cause we doubt that there is another
world or that there is life to come.
We are fully pursuaded that there is
both another world and a life to come.
But the discerning of this is matter
of faith, and that on the part of each
individual for himself alone. Nobody
on this earth can descern or decide
this for anybody else. We thoroughly
believe that there is both another world
and life to come, and anybody in this
world has an equal right not to believe
it if he chooses SO to do. We have the
right to believe this without the
sanction of tie government; and any
other man has a right not to believe it,
and that without any interference by
the government. We deny the right
of any of the senators or representatives
in congress to decide any of these
matters for anybody but himself.

LIFTING By ARITHMETIC.
How an Engineer Found a Stones Weigh
by an Ingenious Calculation.

How An Engineer Found a stones Weight
by an Ingenious Calculation.
Civil engineers are mostly common
place people, but an odd stick OCCASION
ally turns up among them. One OF the
oldest 1 ever met lives here in st. Louis.
He is an old man, thoroughly educated
in his business and paragon of exact.
ness, even for a mathematician.
Not many months ago he was called
to East st. Louis to make new survey
of an old line originally run by himself
On the first survey he had driven GER
tain corner stake deep in the ground and
covered it up with large stone. When
he came to the spot he got spade and
cleaned the soil away from around the
stone. and then cleaned it off nicely
with some dry leaves, top and sides.
Next he took out his rule and made q
careful measurement of the stone, which
he used a moment later on the basis of q
calculation to determine its weight
When he saw the product his face
lighted ND with joy, for the number o
pounds. ounces and drains represented
therein was within the limit Of his lift
inc mower. He made no attempt to if-
the stone as a means of testing his abil
itv to handle it, but relied on his ma
thematica1 knowledge to settle that
point for him. This is the only case
ever knew of where a man demonstrated
his own lifting power by the use o.
arithmetic.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat
