Gentlemen of this house, do you want
to send your sons and daughters TO such a
place as Wichitas"
Those were the closing words of Repre-
sentative Warren's Rep.) speech against
the Wichita normal school bill while it
was before the house, which shows.the
animus of the opposition to the proposed
measure. The bill was not defeated be-
cause of lack of merit, for it had all of
that that such measure could have;
nor was it defeated for economic reasons,
lack of money, or anything of that sort,
for 1t only required nominal amount
from the state, but because of envy,
jealousy, hatred towards Wichita. And
that was enough to defeat it.

The appropriations made by the Fifty
first congress, we are told, aggregate a
billion dollars, nearly half as much as
the cost of the four-years war of 1S61-65.
1t is enough to test the faith of the citi-
zen even if there were an abundance Of
money in circulation with which he
might meet his share of the obligation;
but without this, and without any pro-
vision by the congress that imposed the
burden to supply the deficient circula-
ton, and with state and municipal
burdens and private obligations to meet,
it will require superhuman efforts TO
bear up and face the future.

The Fifty-first congress. at least the
second session just closed, is spoken of
as the working congress. 1t certainly
did an immense amount Of work R,t
some OF the most important measures
before that body, and which were given
more or less attention, failed TO become
laws. Among them the free coinage
olil, the Conger and Paddo k pure food
bills, and the bankruptcy bills. Aside
from the appropriation bills, providing
the necessary funds for the support of
the government, no more important
measures than these as affecting the
best interests of the people of the whole
country were before the congress. But.
perhaps 1t was too much for the people
10 expect everything they wanted or
needed at one time and at the hands of
one congress. II this had been done
there would be little or nothing for the
next set 70 90.

IT IS A FRAUD.
From the Kansas Chief.

From the Kansas Chief.
Senator Plumb hit the nail on the
head, in a senate debate last week. in
discussing an Indian appropriation. He
said the whole system of Indian educa-
ton was a fraud, and waste of money.
The Indians were educated only into
loafers, and it confirms their indisposi-
ton to work Just what we have always
SAID. Education is thrown away on an
Indian. 1t does not improve them in
any respect, but on the contrary. it puts
new tricks in their heads, to make their
vagabondage more disagraeable. An
educated Indian, when he returns to his
tribe, relapses into his old habits, but is
IN manner spoiled for an Indian.

De give-away of the Alliance majority.
1t was drawn by some sly Republican

provides that no notice published in a

IN which it is published mas been regu-
larry issued for twelve months previous
to the publication of such notice: pro-
vlded, that such notice may be legally
published in any paper that was eStab-

for the purpose of sobbing up any legal

by comparison of statements of the

principal agricultural states of the coun-
tfy, all situated in the great central

IS less than half of that of the next

all of our drawbacks and discourage
ments, therefore, we are in better shane
than any her state in the west if not

during the week in which it held its ses-

Memphis has level-headed may

his remarks, at the reception OF
President Harrison, in that city, he
said: Z is our intention to be just
and law-abiding, whilst at the same
time with an instinct, Mr.. President,
which prevades our race, the perma-
ment aim is to guard our social pur-
ity, preserve our civilization and
maintain Caucasian prestige and SUI
premacy."
The President replied: "The law
is supreme, and there must be no
other supremacy than that of law

degree let down this rule"
This means on the part of
President Harrison that he would
subvert civilization, amalgamate So
cial purity and enslave the Caucas-
ian race, it it was necessary that the
Republican party might rule and
have power. In order to do this he
would make new laws subversive
civil liberty and by ''torce bills
compel the white people to submit
to negro domination. He would in

would disturb peaceful relations

ervation of social purity is worth
more than all. Selt-preservation is

maintained regardless of partizar

THE IDEAL COMMUNITY.

An exchange says; A perfect
town is that in which you see the
farmer patronizing the home mer-
chants, the laborers spending the
money they earn with their own
tradesmen, and all animated by a
spirit that will not purchase articles
abroad it they can be bought at
home. The spirit of reciprocity be-
tween man and the mechanic, trades
man and laborer, farmer and manu-
results every time in making
the town perfect one to do business
in. Perfection" should always be
desired, even where attainment is
barely possible, we presume, but a
perfect town must be denominated a
great rarity until we reach a more
advanced stage toward the mlVlen-
mum than has yet been gained.

BLAINE NOT SCARED.

Secretary Blaine, in his last reply,
tells Premier Budini that this coun.
try will abide strictly by its treaty
with Italy. According to that treaty
this country does not undertake to
give special privileges to Italians
who make their homes in this coun.
try. 1t promises to do for them lust
what it does for its own citizens.
Nearly all of those who were lynch
ed at New Orleans were American
citizens. According to the treaty
the United States guarantees to
Italian citizens residing within its
limits the same protection which it
gives its own citizens. If, therefore,
1t does not compensate the families
OF the American citizens who were
lynched it will hardly indemnify the
families of the citizens of Italy, who
were among those who were lynch
ed. The families of those who were
lynched can bring suits for damages
against those who did the lynching,
and in the bringing Of such suits the
families of those who were Italian
citizens have an advantage over the
families OF those who were Ameri-
can citizens, because they can prose-
cute their claim for damages either
in the state or the United States
courts. The families of those who
were American citizens can bring
suits only in the state courts.

PENITENTIARY POPULATION.

Superintendent Porter Of the Gen.
sus Bureau has issued bulletin
upon the subject of convicts in peni-
tentiaries. The bulletin was pre-
pared under the direction of Fred
H. Wines, ofSpringfeld, ILL.,, special
agent and expert, and shows the
number Of convicts in State prisons
and penitentiaries in the United
States on June l, 1890, to have been
1928.
The number reported in 1880 was
80, $50, but the increase in the popu-
lation of penitentiaries is not so
great as would appear from a COM
parison of these figures, since a diff
ferent rule of classification has been
adopted. The increase III the total
population was 24.S5 per cent. 1t
thus appears that the penitentiary
population is growing somewhat
more rapidly than the population at
large.
1t shows that of 1927 peniten-
tiary convicts whose birthplace and
parentage are known, the foreign
born element of the population fur
nished 14,724; the colored popula
ton 1866, and the native white
population, which probably outnum-
bers them both, only 1915. In
other words, each of these elements
furnishes about one third of all the
inmates of our State prisons and
penitentiaries.
In respect of sex, 43,442 peniten-
tiary convicts are men and 1871
are women. The percentage of
women is somewhat less than it was
ten years ago.
