the international aspect of the

The QUESTION OF NATIONAL Re-
SP0SSIBILIfY.

II the Italian government claims
reparation for the killing of its citi-
EenS in New Orleans, as it is very
likely 10 do, Mr.. Blaine will be
confronted by no slight obstacle if
he undertakes 70 maintain that the
United States cannot be held re-
sponsible.
That obstacle Is the fact that no
effort was made by the local author
tiles to prevent the outbreak and
no attempt has since been made
10 enforce the law against the
leaders.
The State Department has al
ways maintained that the national
government cannot be held re-
sponsibIe TO any foreign power for
the consequences of mob violence.
Alien, ike citizen, sufferers must
look 10 the local courts for justice
and redress 70 which they may be
entitled.
But in standing on this principle
our government mas always as
sumed that the local authorities
used st least due diligence 10 pre-
vent mob violence or to suppress
It and 10 punish the Offenders, and
stress has been laid on this fact IN
maintaining the non responsibility
OF the national government. Thus
IN the case of the anti-ChineSe
riot in Denver Secretary Eyarts
wrote
The local authorities brought into re-
QUESTION al the means 2t their CON-
m2ld for the suppression Of the mob,
and tbese means proved 10 be 50 ettec-

This was quoted with approval
by Secretary Blaine in continuing
the correspondence in the same
case. who further referred to the
successful efforts made by the Gov
ernor, the Mayor and the Sheriff
in quelling the riot.
In another case Secretary Evarts
admitted that "a government is
liable internationally for damages
done TO alien residents by mob
which by due diligence it could
have repressed," which view ac-
cords with the principle recently
affirmed by the United States
Supreme Court that
The law OF nations requires every
national government TO use /" due dill

Has anything been said about an
exhibit from this country at the
Chicago Fair in 1892 1t is time
the matter was being agitated,
Certainly this country should be
represented, and we'll represented.
Foreign immigration and foreign
capital are wanted. The outside
world knows nothing about the
capabilities and resources of these
isles, aud no better opportunity
than the coming Worlds Fair
could be desired for advertising
our kingdom.
To prepare 4 suitable exhibit
will require considerable time. The
matter should be maugurated at
once, and a plan of operations laid
out that will place Hawaii promIn-
eutly before the nations OF the
earth.
Something else is called for than

For several months in the year
there, are no tomatoes in the San
Francisco markets; for several
months the price is high-from D
TO 10 cents per pound. There is
an unlimited market for this fruit
in the Pacific States. On the Ha-
waiian Islands tomatoes can be
grown all the year around. They
can be grown equal to any pro-
duced on the Coast. They csn be
shipped thousands of miles, and
are marketable from ten to twelve
days after picking. A steamer load
of tomatoes could be sent every
week for several months each year
from Honolulu TO San Francisco,
and the profits would be enormous.
Honolulu tomatoes could be laid
down in Chicago in the middle of
winter, and they would sell for Is
cents per pound.

To the Voters of Anderson
County.

You have a knowledge of your
several branches of industry, and
have admitted that a universal de-
preston rests upon all your voca-
tions, except money loaning. Leg
islation is responsible for the cause
of which you complain. And for
the purpose of correcting the unjust
conditions you have rightfully COM
planned Of the Peoples party has
been organized. The candidates it
has selected were nearly the unani-
nous choice of ninety-four delegates
fully representing every township
in the county.
To transfer the management of
the government from the agents of
the money and transportation syndi-
Gates to the people it is necessary
to elect county, as well as state and
national, officers, who are in sympa-
thy with you and the interests you
represent. The bosses who have
heretofore claimed your allegiance
are now ridiculing you, your
financial conditions, your efforts to
better them, and the candidates you
have nominatded.
These old old party leaders caIi-
not use their past record in this
campaign, for that has produced the
necessity for new party to perpet-
uate the liberty bequeathed us by
our forefathers, and save the homes
to those who built them. These old
party managers know the impor-
lance of this election-they and
their masters-and in the absence
of reason and justice they have
commenceda campaign of falsehood,
prejudice and villification, and con-
tinue it until the polls are closed in
November. The municipal officers
are the base of our political struc-
ture. The bond-holders now con-
troll the government through the
two old parties. The government
furnishes them money at less than
2 per cent, for which you must pay
them more than 10 per cent. They
hold the mortgages on your busl-
ness and homes, and the money you
must have to pay them with, or give
up your homes and business. They
have, by Legislation, contracted the
money issued, until they can con-
troll it, and taxed all branches OF
industry, for the benefit of the mon

Campaign Morals.

1t has become the practice of late
years for extreme partisans to cir
culate on the opposition candidates
all sorts of falsehoods. Campaign
lies, like any other kind of lies, are
inexcusable and never fail to damage
the character of those against whom
they are directed. A man may en-
Joy as good a reputation as it is
possible for man to have, as a pri-
vate citizen, but the moment he
becomes a candidate, he is, by par
tisanship, transformed into a scoun-
drel of the deepest dye. Sometimes
the lies are made of whole cloth.
At other times the little mistakes
that the best of men are liable to
make are magnified. Wrong mo-
tives are ascribed to good actions.
Words are misrepresented. These
things ought not to be. That party
that seeks to win success by the
circulation of falsehoods is rotten
to the core, and unworthy the sup
port of good citizens.

Col. L. L. Polk, Jerry Simpson
and Mrs. M. E. Lease will speak at
Wichita, September Is and l6.
Senator PETER and each Alliance
congressman have been invited to
be present. We learn from the re-
form papers and other sources that
the Alliance camp-meetings in the
south are calling together some of
the largest gatherings ever known
in the southern states, and that our
speakers of the north are being re-
ceived with open arms by our broth
ers there. 1t is we'll that we, the
Alliance men and women of Kansas,
begin to prepare ourselves for the
great two days meeting at Wichita,
September, Is and l6, which is to
be addressed by our brothers from
the south. We want to show them
that we, too, are in earnest, and
that our Alliance picnics of last
year were but forerunners Of the
outpouring Of the people who will
attend the eight great campmeetings
to be held in Kaneas this year. 1t
was said that Wichita had the larg-
est meeting in the state, last year.
AS we are to represent the eight
congressional districts at large, we
expect to have a much larger one
this year. The committee has Sc
cured one and one-third rates for all
points within fifty miles of Wichita,
on all roads entering the city.
They are working hard to secure
one-fare rate for the entire state.
While we do not expect to have
parade as we did last year, each
sub Alliance will use their own
Judgment about coming in a body.
Let each Alliance man wear his
badge. Bring all your song books.
Come prepared to stay the two days.

EDWARD BELLAMY, in his paper,
The New Nation, insists that the
Ohio and Massachusetts, idea on the
liquor question is the PRACTICAL solu-
ton of this great problem that
state and government control of the
traffic means the sale of alcoholic
liquors only for medicinal, mechan-
ical and scientific purposes. If it
should result as Mr.. Bellamy seems
to think it will, no true prohibition
list can object to the plan; but the
mere idea of selling liquors at cost
will not reduce the amount Of drunk
enness, but would, we believe, have
tendency to increase it. The only
redeeming feature, under those cir
cumstances, would be that the profit
from the sale of liquors would be
cut off, thus removing the incentive
to purchase or bride Legislative bod
les in the interest Of the present
liquor power. However, If the OBJ
ject is to stop the use of liquor as a
beverage, and confne it's use to
medicinal, scientific and mechanical
purposes, we can endorse the Ohio
and Massachusetts, idea. But it
must be made a little palmer, so
that the people will understand the
purpose of the measure.

by the Peoples party leaders that
the volume of currency had been
contracted from about 50 dollars
per capita in 1866 to about % dol
lars per capita in 1891. AS this
claim was having tremendous
effect in downing the Republican
party, wholesale denial has been re-
sorted to even by the government.
John Davis,in the Topeka Advocate,
comes forward with the figures.
The question of veracity seems to
hinge upon whether the eight hun
dred and thirty million seven-thirty
treasury notes was active currency
or not. 1t seems that the present
government and the Topeka Capital
claim that the seven-thirty treasury
notes did not circulate. John Da-
Wis quotes, to prove that they did
circulate, such high authority as

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY.

This is a subject that is now at
tracing general attention. Prices
of all the great staples of life are
high rents enormous, and fashions
e1acting. Wants multiply while re-
sources diminish. How to make
ends meet in the present cramped
condition of finances is a serious
problem now pressing closely hun
dreds of people. 1t is what is done
to keep up appearances that des-
troys the equilibrium between in
come and expense and makes life a
drudgery and vexation.
How to live cheaply is a question
easy enough to answer if any one
will be content with cheap living
Substitute comfort for show; con-
venience for fashion; study simplici-
Ity; refuse to be beguiled into a
style of living above what is re.
CURED by your position in society
and justified by your resources. Set
a fashion of simplicity, neatness,
prudence and Responsiveness which
others will be proud to follow, and
thank you for introducing. Teach
yourself to do. without a thousand
pretty and snowy things which
wealthy people purchase, and pride
yourself on being just as happy
without them as your rich neigh
bors are with them. Put so much dig
nifty, sincerity, kindness and love
into your simple and inexpensive
home that its members will never
miss the costly fripperies and
snowy adornments, and be happier
in the coy and comfortable apart
ments than most of their wealthy
neighbors are in their sumptuous
and splendid apartments.
It does not follow that in order
to live cheaply one must live meanly.
The best comforts of life are not
costly. Taste, refinement, good cheer,
and wit are not expensive. There
is no trouble about young people
marrying with no outfit but health
and love and an honest purpose,
provided they Will practice thrift
and prudence, to which thousands
owe success, and make their thought
and love supply what they lack In
the means of display. Those who
begin life at the top of the ladder
generally tumble off, while those
who commence at the foot acquire
steadiness, courage, and strength of
arm and will as they rise.
