moreover has not our great American
Massilon declared with entire origin
atty that "the tariff is OF no more nc
count than the fly on the cart wheel"
No, no, the worn and weary tariff
pupet has danced his last national
dance. Even the Topeka Capital has
declared that it shall be "taken out Of
politics" and treated from business
standpoint.
The generals then turn 10 their old
friend, the war issue, but that too is
is pronounced unsafe. The kindly
years have born away the bitterness
Of the old strife. Too many alliance
hands have Clasped fraternally across
the bloody chasm, and the generals
fear that not even our Massilon's die
tum Of four years ago that, "We must
aim at the solid SOUTH" will induce
the people to refght the war Of the
rebellion.
In desperation these mappers Of the
programme turn them to a moral
issue They know full well that the
great masses OF American patriots do
not mean that the principles Of the
decalogue and the golden rule shall
be ruled out OF a government which
their forefathers died TO establish,
and which our fratricidal war was
fought to maintain.
The moral pulse OF the people is
stirred. The homes and the happi-
ness OF the common people are threat
ened and their hearts are touched.
Every reform is at heart religious.
The American people will not consent
that the reformation Of politics is an
"irredescent dream" Hence theissue
which will command attention must
be a moral one.
Several weeks ago an advance scout
was sent out from plutocratiC head
quarters to ascertain the temper Of
the people on the temperance issue.
Mr.. Henry Clews, financial letter writer
for Wall street, in reply to the skir-
mish investigation carried on by the
New York World, said: "The chief
cause Of poverty can be summed up
in the one word-drink." Mr.. Stand
ard Oil Rockefeller said, 'Intemper-
ance; that is all. The one 1U0rd an
s'Uers the question fuIiy"
Brother farmers and laborers, do
you not see the method and purpose
behind all of this seemingly innocent
course Of eventsG
The New York World starts out as
a John the Baptist to prepare the way
by instructing the people that Gin
temperance" is the one cause Of their
poverty stricken condition. The re-
suit Of such education, Of course, is to
tx the attention Of thenStion upon the
removal of the cause of poverty.
Then at the proper stage Of the game

Of q slillful move on the part Of the
generals In present warfare between
the plUtocrats and the people.
IL need not be lengthily argued
that it matters not to the money
power, TO Wall street, and TO the
fostered monopolies, what party ia
in power, or what policy prevails
upon amy other ql,estiOn than the
money question,
The financial feature Of the pro-
gram was arranged for both parties
long ago. The infamous policy
which brought about theprosent hard
conditions, massed the enormous
wealth of the country in the hands Of
few, covered the farms with mort
cages, paralyzed industries and filed
the land with tramps-this infamous
policy has gone steadily on regard
less Of any change in the administra-
zion. From Mccullough TO Manning
and thence TO Window there has not
been q single break.
The great body Of the American
people have been encouraged to dis
cuss, to quarrel over, and to play
with any and every question under
tho sun except the question vital to
their interests.
The war Of the rebellion served q
purpose for more than a quarter Of a
century. The tariff has always been
q useful little puppet, strung on a
wire and waiting behind scenes and
ready TO be brought before the cur
tain and set to dancing by the man
agers Of the great American farce
which the sovereign voters are treated
10 every four years. while all the
time the real business, which has con-
tracted currency, depreciated values
and massed princely fortunes, has
been going on with stealthy, quiet and
deadly certainty behind the scenes.
But it has come to pass that few
brave and courageous souls have in
sisted upon going back Of the curtain,
and they have told the story Of their
Investigations to the people, and the
people are beginning to realize the
truth Of the situation Even in the
United States senate the truth has
been told by Senator Stanford.
Senator Plumb has given us this
truthful picture Of the situation:
New enterprises are withheld, old enterprises
are struggling 10 keep on their feet, and there Is
dread and terror aud apprehension, where there
ought 10 be hOpefiIness, helpiumess and enter.
prise. This condition Of things will continue I'M
IA Ghe remedy is attained; and that remedy can
only come by legislation; because legislation
combined with executive action, has brought the
country TO where II now Is.
IL is not within the realm Of possi-
bility TO much longer avoid the great
money issue, unless it can be side
tracked.
It now remains to be seen how this
can be done.
Something like the following con-
sultation has doubtless engaged the
generals Of the plutocratic host.

To BE universally known as constantly
doing good. as rich man who holds his
riches in trust for the benefit of others,
as the effective friend of every humane
enterprise: as the proprietor of one of
the great and most prosperous newspa-
pers in the country, conducted strictly
upon the principles of courtesy and good
sense which regulate the intercourse of
gentlemen, and as the friend of the most
distinguished persons of his time, is the
happy fortune of Mr.. George w. Childs.
of Philadelphia. The recollections of
such life are necessarily full of interest.
They are especially pleasant, because
they are not associated with narrowness
and hardness and meanness and selfish
intrigue with success. but. on the con-
trary, the open hand and the open heart.
Mr.. Childs. despite his friendly relations
with royalty and the nobility, is too good
an American republican to care to quar-
ter his family arms upon any shield.
But he could not choose a better motto
than such heart and such hand. His
little volume of 'Recollections.' just pub
lished by the Lippincott Company, is
rich with "reminiscences of famous per-
sons and accounts of exceedingly inter-
esting possessions. and of public gifts
and delightful occasions. all pervaaed
with the spirit of the generous giver who
is sure to double his generosity by giving
quickly. Artists always paint them
selves in their pictures, and Mr.. Childs
has unconsciously given US himself in
his book.-G. ". Curtis, tn HayteyS

Two years ago Oregon sent up the
first shout of victory for the republican
cause. and the rest of the country went to
fighting in earnest and soon joined in
the cheer. Last Tuesday Oregon again
opened her heavy batteries and the roll OF
their thunder bears the same victorious
music. She elected the whole republi-
can ticket. but governor. by greatly
increased majority. The legislature has
twenty-seven republican majority, insur-
ing the election of a republican senator.
The republican congressman was elected
and the democrats have only the empty
honor of the governors Office. which can
do them no good.

Kansas MOrtgages-AS Surprise.

In several counties in Kansas special
census agents have been compiling the
actual recorded mortgage Indebtedness,
and in nearly every case the figures
as obtained are less than the currently
accepted figures. Many of the recorded
mortgages have payments credited to
them, but which do not appear on the
records. In some of the counties the
work of compiling the statements have
been completed and others are nearing
completion. Harper and Sedgwick coun-
ties, in the southern part of the state, are
fair samples of the whole, and consider
able surprise is expressed that the totals
are not more. In Harper county the
work is completed, and it is found that
in the period from 1880 to 1890 about
$4,000 mortgages were placed on record,
while it had been variously estimated
from 10000 to $4,000.
OF the number placed on record in ten
years, about one-sixth are not paid. The
result so far has shown the mortgaged in
debtedness to be much less than it was
generally supposed to be. In Wichita,
Sedgwick county, the total number of
mortgages is given from 1880 to 1890 at
less than 10 600, of which more than one
third were given in 1887. This was dur
ing the boom period. 1t is estimated that
about oDe-sixth of the mortgages given
in this period are unpaid. Estimates
had run from $4,000 to 5000, and the
facts show that the real Indebtedness is
not as great as estimated. 1t is believed
by the agent making the calculation that
the currently accepted estimate for the
whole state is much above the real facts.

From the present prospects the Senate
finance committee will bring essentially
a different tariff bill from that passed by
the House. 1t will, of course, have pro-
lection for its basis. but it will be framed
on lines with protection as a principle
and will not be open to the accusation of
too much favoritism towards chosen in
dustries. In other words. protection to
American industries will be its prevail
ing principle, but it will be moderated
by the absolute requirements of manufac-
lures coupled with substantial justice to
all other classes of consumers. The COM
mittee are going over the bill very care
fully. and even though some Congress
men want to get home, they are not 60
ing to be hurried, and individual nem-
bers say that they will take all the time
necessary for a perfect examination of
the subject, even if it keeps Congress in
session until cold weather.

ANOTHER SHIP CANAL.
Project to Connect Hnvre With HTarseIIIes
Through France.

Project to Connect Hnvre With MarseIlleE
Through France.
London Edition New York Herald.1
1t is not so long ago that the idea of cut
ting navigsble canal through the South of
France, from Bordeaux to the Mediterranean
had great fascination for French minds,
but a much more ambitious project has now
been conceived by M. Jules de Douhet, a
French engineer. This scheme is nothing
less than ship canal going right through
France from Havre to Marseilles. It would
indeed be stupendous undertaking,
The length of the canal would be ], ,0S3
kilometres, its depth metres, and its width
would vary from % to 300 metres. Its
course would follow the Seine and pass
round the north side of Paris; it would then
cut through the Marne, and follow first the
course of the Loing, then that of the Loire
from Glen to Roanne; from thence it would
make for Lyons by q tunnel of ten kilo-
metres, would then 60 parallel to the Rhone
until it came to the little lake OF Berre, and
would reach Marseilles by another tunnel
of five kilometres, through the hills of La
Nerthe. The water would be obtained
partly by damming up the Loire and partly
from the Lake of Annecy.
The cost is estimated at 2k milliards of
francs, and the time employed in its con-
struction would be 10 years. M. de Douhet
reckons upon 80, 900 tons of traffic to
pass through his canal annually which
would yield soc, 900, 600 of francs, and thus
leave profit of 15O, ,0O0, 900 for the FORUM
ate shareholders. The passage through
would take seven days

BOWLEGS FROM BICYCLING.
A General DefOrmiiy Mt Washington Lead.
to n Conclusion.

General DefOrmity Mt Washington Leads
to n Conclusion.
'tAn observer on the streets of Washing
ton," says correspondent of the Washing
ton Post, sis struck with the extraordinary
number of young men and youths who are
bowlegged, or have legs inclined to be
bowed, with the toes of the feet turned in
more or less. The fact can be verified any
day by whomsoeYer chooses to look. I
think the explanation is chiefly, if not alto
gether, found in the bicycle. The cavalry
man. as a rule, is bowlegged, with toes in
turned, and the wheelman, like the horse
man. assumes conditions that tend to throw
out the knees and turn in the toes, if, in
deed, the wheelman, in propelling his ma
chine, does not more fully than the eques-
trian subject his lower extremities to exer-
cises that curve them thus?
"Now, if it be true that habitual riding
ON the bicycle is giving us generation Of
bow-legged young men and young women,
will it not be well for all to seriously con-
slider whether it be worth while to incur
such results? Occasional bicycling, as oc-
casional horse riding, may not bow the legs
and turn in the toes, and the bicycle itself
may, perhaps. be SO constructed as to avoid
the tendencies now considered; but it is not
very desirable to sacrifice grace, shape, and
symmetry to any mode or fashion of locomo-
tion,"
