Archibald Clavering Gunter after hav-
ing astonished more mature readers by
his Mr.. Barnes of New York, Mr..
Potter of Texas" and other Sensational
novels, now we understand proposes to
instruct and amuse the young, and has
written a juvenile book, Small Boys
in Big Boots" We are informed that it
Is story of strictly American life, writ
ten on strictly American principles in
contradistinction to a number of child
ren's books that have been founded
chiefly on English life and constructed
strictly upon English principles. The
hero of Mr.. Gunter's tale, unlike Little
Lord Fauntleroy," has no earl for a
grandfather and no ancestors worth
mentioning, consequently is compelled to
make his career for himself, which he
does in strictly business and American
manner. This story, while written
mainly for the young, is intended also
to amuse the old, as it contains delight
full little love story, and is said to be full
of both humor and pathos. 1t will be
very beautifully illustrated by several
prominet artists, and will be issued by
the Home Publishing company in
August.

TOPEKA'S IT.

Topeka is now claiming a monstrosity
in the way of small street hudloom that
is an hermaphrodite, the Topeka papers
declaring it to be freak, and an off
spring of very inferior order of beings
| Topeka in an early day boosted of full
grown specimen of such freak. He, she
or it was a half-breed Indian who went
by the name of Charley and which
dressed in male attire Charley" as
ISOLATED with males and went swimming
in the Kaw with the boys. Charley
had the voice and breasts and general
physical structure of a female, and in
fact was to all intents half-b breed squaw,
but he was something more, and a good
deal more. As the Topeka papers seem
to have little to talk about since the late
anti-resubmission convention we suggest
that they run this matter down. 1t may
turn out that Charley" was not only a
genuine sit but both the father and
mother of their supposed interesting
original half-breed package now on exhi-
bitiOn. Who knows but that Topeka may
became famous as the great hermaphro-
dite center where things are not what
they seem, but where the less you see of
it the happier you will be. Speaking of
the lit, +" and of Topeka'S hermaphrodites
and half breed ways generally, reminds
us that the place has always been town
Of its" When it comes to her ''joints"
and Original packages, one can never
tell which from 'tOther, and her saloons
are as liable to be dressed up for a hotel
or drug store as any way. Some Of her
politicians wear clerical robes. and if the
Kansas City papers could only be even
occasionally believed, Topeka's preachers
are now and then caught by the police
Offering devotions to Bacchus, while the
lips of many Of her most prominent pro-
hibitionists are not Unfrequently found
glued to the bung hole of a jug. The
city itself admits that it is both cap
ital and commercial metropolis, while
everybody knows that ''it' is a regular
boarding house center In short, we
might as well concede first as last, that
Topeka is considerable of an I'll" whose
hermaphrodite politicians and half breed
prohibitionists are wonders Of modern
politics and hypocrisy.

THE NEW SILVER LAW AND THE
CROPS.

Henry Clews considers the intimation
that Secretary Window will manipulate
the silver market so as to obvlate the
purchase of bullion an unreasonable pre-
diction. He shows also in his last circu-
lar that the purchase of 4 800, 600 ounces
of bullion per month means an increase
of about S., 900, 600 to the circulation per
month. As to where this money will go,
its effect on the market and on the sup
ply of funds for the crop movement, Mr..
Clews says:
On August IS the treasury will have
to purchase 100000 ounces of silver
bullion, which, at its present price, will
call for an issue of about S5,OOU,O00 OF
the new legal tender silver notes. The
proceeds of those purchases will go prin-
cipally into the New York banks, and,
being wholly of high denominations,
will be apt to rest there as permanent
contribution to the reserves. About a
month later like addition will be made
to the circulation, and so on for each
successive month in perpetuity. 1t is
apparent that, from this time forward
there is little or no possibility of any
real scarcity OF money at this center;
but rather probability, amounting al
most to cersainty, that these special
additions to the active circulation will
more than suffice to satisfy the prOSpec-
tive demand for crop movements and
may result in a steady and, in later
stage, an important accumulation of
lawful money at the metropolitan CEN
ter; and this probability is strengthened
by the fact that these supplies will be
distributed mainly at New York and
will naturally rest here for time before
getting into more general distribution,
the crop movement being the limit of
the outside demand for the next few
months.
The removal Of distrust about the fu-
ture of the money market takes out of
the way one of the principal causes of
the heSitancy, pOstpOnement and dull
ness of the stock market; and the atti-
tude of waiting for somethidg unfore-
seen to turn up is now changing for one
of waiting for the fuller effect on the
money market of the initiating tendency
of thu silver act. There is no lack of
conditions out of which potent "bulf'
influences could be manufactured when
the state of the money market is one of
fully developed ease; and there are very
influential reasons why operators OF
large resources should foster a campaign
for higher prices; but it seems probable
that further time may elap5e before any
important operations in that direction
are undertaken

THE OPPOSITION TO INGALLS,.

From the Omaha Republican.
Though there is little doubt Senator
Ingalls, will be again returned to the
United States senate as the representa-
tive of Kansas, a peculiar minority has
been working against him with persist
ence and energy. 1t is not easy to say
upon what this opposition Is based, but
the pretended reason for the detection is
embodied in the senseleSS CRY that he
"has done nothing for Kansas" As n
matter af fact easy of demonstration.
Ingalls, has done more for the honor and
profit of the state than any other
man In it, though he has steadily
offended a class of schemers dy re
fusing to conspire with them TO rob the
treasury by working through govern
ment appropriations for extravagant and
ridiculous objects. Ingalls, has given
Kansas a prominence in national affairs
vastly in excess of her actual entluenCe
as a vote-producing state, and has,
through his own brilliance and wisdom,
given her a celebrity that was worth any
number of appropriations in building up
the state through the attraction of cap
ital and population. ingalls,. however,
has refused to allow himself to be used;
he has declined to be the cats paw
of Interested politicians, and the men
who want "A more plant and useful
representative in the senate have been
attempting insidiously and invidiously
to undermine his popularity.

KANSAS AND THE SUBSTITUTE.

The Topeka Capital is still in the mud
about the vote of the Kansas delegation
on the house substitute on the Wilson
original package bill. The Capital still
believes and declares that the Kansas
delegation voted against the substitute.
Notwithstanding the EAGLE took the
pains on two different occasions. TO set
the Capital right. When it comes to
anything which touches prohibition, the
Capital is so one-sided that it can't see
straight. Again we tell it that the Kan
sas members voted against the substi-
tute." There is all the difference be-
tween these votes that there is between
a noun and a verb, and just that differ
ence. The croSs-eyedness OF the Capital
would be amusing if it We're less pitiful.
The worst of it is it leads a Mr. a NJ
Crary. of Harrington. who asks for in
formation into its own ignorance. ANY
school boy ought to understand that it
would be possible for the Kansas MEM
bers to vote against the acceptance of
a measure as a substitute and yet finally
vote for the passage of the measure
against the reception OF which in the
first place they had recorded their pro
test
Again we tell the Capital that the Kan
sas members voted against the substitute.

stocked his lake and his brooks with
trout and lets out fishing privileges to
ambitious anglers, whom he charges at
the rate of so much per pound for all

farmers, in the districts where the corn

grain. The experiment is a compare

HALLOWELL THE MAN.

From the Hutchinson News.
While Colonel j. r. HallOwell was not
the first choice of Reno county he seemed
to be the choice Of the Republican con-
vention, and being an ex-soldier, fine
scholar, brilliant orator aud a true blue
Republican, standing squarely on the
best platform ever constructed, the News
places his name at its head this morning.
Colonel Hallowell is not a farmer, but
that he is thoroughly identified with the
farmers interest it needs only to be OBJ
served that twO-thirds Of the convention
were Alliance men and that majority of
Hallowell's vote was from the Alliance
members.
The plank in the platform absolving
the candidate from all allegiance to par
ty caucus whers the interests of Kansas
are concerned, is a strong plank, and was
favored by Mr. Hallowell himself, SO
anxious to get the endorsement of the
convention for that idea 1t is Colonel
Hallowell's own private conviction, he
having advocated it years ago.
With the enthusiasm Colonel Halo
well will throw into the canvas, there is
no fears as to the result in the big Sew
enth this year.
