FREE COINAGE DEFEATED.

The free coinage amendment to the silver
bill was defeated Wednesday and that ends
it, probably 1t is not likely that the ma
lority in the senate will cling so tenaciOusly
to free coinage as to compel its adoption by
the house The danger is that in the
struggle that may ensue the silver bill
may fail entirely While the house bill is
not all the people want it is very much
better than the present law. If nothing
better can be got then let the house bill be-
come law. If everything is permitted to
fail the Republican party must be held re-
sponsible, and that means that several
western states will feel that they are kick
ed over into the Democratic camp. From
such a fate, good Lord, deliver uS.-LeaY
enwOrth Times.
Even as matter of eXpediency, and
to secure only temporary relief-which
is all that can be claimed for tit is not
clear that the compromise proposed by the
house for the senate silver, that is, substi-
tuting for the free coinage clause, one pro-
viding for the compulsory coinage of four
and one-half millions a month, is
the best thing for congress TO
adopt and the people to accept.
True, it will increase the coinage to that
extent, or q little more than double the
amount coined under the present law,
but this benefit is more than counterbal-
anced by the feature of the house propo-
sition that affects the value Of the silver
dollar, or rather that leaves its value to
the caprices of the spectators in bullion;
in other words, the practical demOneti-
zation Of that currency.
But aside from these practical effects
that are sure to follow, a no less objec-
tionable feature of the proposed compro-
mise is the simple fact that it is a COM
promise of the peoples just demands, a
surrender in large measure Of the peo-
pies right to say what they want and
how they want it.
For the EAGLES part, taking the
whole situation as it is, it would rather
see the senate adhere to its measure, even
to the extent of defeating legislation on
that subject altogether by the present
congress, than for it to back down and
accept the compromise.

A POSER.

From the Topeka Democrat.
In 1880 Lincoln, Neb., had a popula-
ton slightly over 10000. Topeka at the
same date boosted population of %, 900.
In point of location, outlook for bust
ness. favorable reputation with the peo-
pie of the east, general attractiveness,
etc, decade of years ago Topeka had
all the advantage in comparison with
the then well-nigh unknown inland CAPT
tai of Nebraska.
Today, behold the contrast! The COM
plete returns of the recent United States
census gives Lincoln the city proper a
population of $4,000. The population of
the capital of our sister state is over two
and half times that of $780,
How is it with Topeka? The census is
not vet complete, but no one, not even
the most sanguine believer in the destiny
of the capital city of Kansas, will place
the population of Topeka, as revealed by
the United States census, higher than
80. 900 or &c. 900.
How is this? How does it happen that
Lincoln, Nebraska, the obscure western
town of 1880, has so far outstripped To-
peka in the race for material prosperity?
No one who is familiar with the two
cities will claim for moment that the
inland capital of Nebraska has an iota of
natural advantage over Topeka. Then
why this disparity of population be-
tween the two cities, which is a mortifi-
cation to every citizen OF Kansas: The
answer Is easy.
1t is the difference between running a
city on the license of the liquor traffic,
or what passes for prohibition. Lincoln
has steadily prospered since 1890, under
a sensible license system. while Topeka
has suffered from the certain and inevi-
tpble effects of fool policy. Lincoln,
sensibly, has invited all classes of people
within its gates, while Topeka for ten
years has been engaged, under the pre-
tence of morality, in driving population
and capital from its midst.
After a senseleSs crusade running over
nearly ten years. resulting in the loss of
hundreds of our best citizens and of
millions of dollars of capital, no wonder
that crank-ridden Topeka suddenly
awakes TO the fact that she has been dis
tanced in the race of prosperity by the
cities of the west in which common
sense and liberal policy has governed.
Yet, while Topeka has thus suffered
financially and in population, our citI-
zens have not even the satisfaction of
knowing that the moral side of the led
ger will in any respect show an advan-
tage over that of the more fortunate cap
ital city of Nebraska.
Lincoln rejoicing in its population of
$4,000 Topeka scarcely holding its own
with perhaps 81. 600 or 80. 900. Ask any
Prohibition fanatic to explain this dis
parity of population between the two
cities.

INFANT INDUSTRIES.

In building town or city the idea
that nothing is worthy of aid and en-
enlargement but that which employs
hundreds of men and covers acres of
ground too often prevails. Time and
money is. often thrown away in trying to
secure some well established manufac-
tory with large capital stock and big
pay roll, and success seldom follows such
efforts. We have today in Wichita more
small industries than most western towns
of our population, many of which indus
tries are growing rapidly and in the near
future will become the pride of our city.
We too often forget that nearly all the
large manufacturing establishments of
this country started in a primitive way.
The Studebakers started with a village
blacksmith shop and step by step grew
to what they are today.
In this rapid age we are apt to want to
run before we have learned to creep or
walk. We are looking for ready made
results; we want everything to hump as
fast as vegetation does in Kansas in the
month of June, and while the spirit of
the age is very rapid we should be care
full about the commencement, and then
let the growth be as fast as it will.
Any enterprise that has an even chance
for success here should receive encour-
agement in locating, even if it employs
but one man and boy, and when once
located should be encouraged in every
way possible by our people. Make them
thrive and the good effect viii be felt by
everybody in the community.

A PREMONITORY SUGGESTION.

While it is too early to speak accurate
! ", by reason of the census being in
complete. vet, enough is known to justi-
fy the belief that the state of Kansas has
some hundreds of thousands less pOpula-
ton today than we have had within five
years last past. When the census report
is completed and published there is liable
to be a rather unpleasant awakening to
a situation many have persistently shut
their ewes to. If it turns out. as it is
likely to, that Nebraska, Colorado. Utah
and Texas have each made large gains
in population within the last few years,
and that Kansas has lost heavily. it will
be in order to inquire into the cause or
causes thereof.
Those who are opposed to prohibition
have made much of this situation as an
argument, while those who favor pro-
hibition have branded all statements as
to loss of population as false, and even
malicious. In view of the probable
facts in the case it is high time these pro-
hibition advocates drop the epithets they
so freely apply to all who dare to differ
from them and join with the Re
submissionists in devjsing some
plan by which this disastrous
drain upon our population may
be stayed. However much we.
as individual citizens, may be attached
to prohibition as a theory. if it proves
disastrous when practical application is
,,,,Ia Of II n ,,,-,,r,, ,.,-, ~ f,,- ,,,. any,
interests should suggest to us the substi-
tuition of something better in its place
Kansas is beyond dispute far ahead of
any Of the above named states in natural
advantages. so that it behooves all true
Kansans to seriously consider these sug-
gestions.
Prohibition Is of earthly origin. 1t
was wholly unknown in bible times.
There Is nothing sacred about it, hut it
is simply one of the many methods de-
viSed by man to stay the evils of intem-
perance. 1t has not been a success any
where as far as it has been tried and, APP
pears to be losing favor rapidly all over
the country, the good DR.. Talmage and
other misinformed enthusiasts TO the
contrary Notwithstanding. If, in addi-
ton TO its inefficiency, it diverts popula-
ton from us to other less favored states
it becomes simply a matter of good bust
ness TO exchange It for something more
efficient and at the same time less harm

Population IS worth more TO Kansas
than prohibition. II IS the opinion of
many that we have arrived at the point
now where we must choose between
these two. Which shall we take:
