Washington City is socially the most
corrupt city on the western hemisphere.
A young Missourian, a clerk In the in
terror department, has written a book
which it seems shows up some of the
Babylonian predictions of the political
roues of the capital, for which effort he
was promptly dismissed from the public
service. The debauchery of girls by the
habitues of the departments and by the
lights of official life is simply appalling
if the talk of those who claim to be
posted is to be credited, and it is to be
hoped that Mr.. Bogy. the Missourian,
has done a good thins, even if it did cost
him his place.

started from. In fact the farmers are
not educated up to the science of govern
ment or finance The government is
only representative of the people: it
can create nothing; it can pass no laws
favoring one class Tor should not),
over another; it derives its whole
support from the people; it is the people
in fact. and it can not give without first
collecting. 1t can not print paper money
in unlimited amounts, for foreign nations
with whom we trade won't accept it,
and our own people wont take it except
at discount, unless there is an unusual
cause for its issue and its volume is very
limited. Such ideas are preposterous.
They have been tried time and time
again. Do the farmers read history?
The government can not force any man
to take Its money if he dou't want it.
That is something it is impossible to do.
The trouble of society is not for want of
means but for want of opportunities to
secure it. There is wealth enough. Dis
tribute it more. Then every year will
find more to distribute.

1860 is an old and decrepid man in 1891,
and that all of the thousands who went
with him there is scarcely one whose

his hair, dimmed his eyes, furrowed his
brow and withered his strength. The
old soldiers have served their country

The neighing troop, the flashing blade,

PROVES TOO MUCH.

S. C. Hibbard, who the Topeka Demo
crat denominates the statistician, is pre-
pairing a statement of the votes cast at
the late election in this state He claims
to have complete returns from 81 OF the
106 counties in the state, and from these
he asserts that instead of falling of IN
the Alliance vote as compared with last
years there was gain of . per cent,
notwithstanding the aggregate vote OF
the state was something like 10000 less
than that cast in 1890. By what process
of calculating he arrives at that conclu-
sion it is difficult to conceive. Last year,
with 10000 more votes cast than this
wear. the whole of which number, and
more according to Hibbard's figuring,
were against the Alliance, that organlza-
ton secured five of the seven congress
men elected and a great majority of
members of the legislature and county
officers throughout the state; whereas
this year, with 10000 less opposition
than they had last year, they elected
but two district judges out
of twelve chosen and very few county
officers. Instead of an increase of 5 per
cent in the aggregate vote of the organ
ization the result of the election shows
and proves that the Alliance lost at least
80 per cent. of its last years strength.
As a hedging scheme Hibbard's figuring
may do, but as statement of fact it
will be a hard matter to convince the
reading public of its correctness. Logic
that proves too much is bad logic. Hib-
bard's logic and figures prove too much.
Nothing more completely shows the
rout of the Peoples party at the recent
elections in this state than the result in
the election Of Republican state sena-
tor by 100 majority in the Fortieth SEN
a torial district, in the northwest part of
the state, which last fall was a strong
hold of the Peoples party.

SUGAR MAKING A SUCCESS.

From the Fort Scott Monitor.
The EAGLE is unquestionably justified
in its faith in the future OF sorghum
sugar industry. We note, by the way,
in this connection that the Monitor and
the EAGLE have been the only two dailles
in the state that have never wavered IN
their faith in the success of this I'M
portant industry. There are one or
two points, however, which the EAGLE
overlooks, which are essential to sue
cess, to-wit: Climatic conditions must
be favorable and fuel cheap. The ex-
perience of those interested IN the
sugar industry has demonstrated that
the season for growing and harvesting
sorghum cane is too short north of the
3Sth degree of latitude. The planting
of cane at Topeka will average two
weeks later than at Fort Scott, where
the winter freezing invariably begins
from one to two weeks earlier. This
fact in itself is great barrier, but equal
ly disadvantageous is the cost of fuel.
The results of the seasons work here
this wear has been most satisfactory.
The works closed down, having made
45S, 900 pounds of first sugar, the second
still being in syruy. This Is 105,0O
pounds more than has made been any
preceding season. Thus too out of l, 100
tons sess cane than has ever been work
ed, and three weeks shorter running
time. The management also report
great saving in expense $1,000 in fuel
alone having been saved notwithstand-
ing fhe cheapness at this point. Yes;
with the grand results of the alcohol
prodess which was not used at this year,
and lhe experience which has taught
economy in Iobor and fuel, the next
years results will stop all cavil over the
sorghum sugar problem.

Edison, the great electrical inventor
and discoverer, if he is correctly re-
ported, is giving some painful evidences
of losing his mental balance. 1t is
stated that he has now got his mind on
the problem of the ultimate force. As
quoted in the New York Herald, he says:
"When was in Berlin / met Du Bois
Raymond, and wagging the end of my
finger, 1 said to him: 'What is that?
What moves the finger? He said he
didn't know that investigators for twen-
ty-fve years had been trying to find out.
If anybody could tell him what wagged
his finger the problem of life would be
solved"

Senator Pugh of Alabama talks out
pretty plain about Cleveland and IN op-
position to his nomination by the Demo-
Gratis next year. There is pretty strong
grounds to suspect that the senator takes
his cue from Polk of the Alliance. Polk
saws it must not be Cleveland, and the
senator echoes the statement, knowing
that he will lose nothing thereby, be-
cause his party will pay no attention to
his cant, but he may help himself by
thus taffying the Alliance when the
time to elect his successor to the senate
comes around. He hopes to come the
Gordon dodge that was played SO sue
oessfully over in the neighboring state
of Georgia.

A Long Deferred Reform.

From the Atchison Champion.
Freight cars have been built at last
that may be coupled without risk to the
brakeman's life. They are used on an
eastern road and few of them get as far
west as Atchison occasionally. The cars
have air brakes and platform on which
the trainmen stand while coupling or un-
coupling them. The coupling is done
with a lever, and in handling 1t man
puts himself in no danger. 1t may be
that these improvements are to come into
general use in the future. and the MUIR
derous freight car couplings OF the pres
ent will in time be discarded.

of the west. Silver was coined freely
and on the same bases as that of gold
from the foundation of the government
ND to 1878, when it was demonetized by a
trick, and in all that time no one ever

is as sure Of realization as that business
shall continue to increase and as that
the proportionate product of gold will

We should regret to know that the
statement with regard to the feelings of
the ministers of the state is correct. We
would rather believe that when the
earnest, devout, faithful ministers of
the state view such proceedings it is with
feelings of pity if not disgust. 1t is not
only the privilege, but the bounden duty
of preachers to encourage righteousness
in all things and to condemn wickedness
wheresoever, both from the sacred desk
and in their every day lives. But this
duty does not comprehend the idea that
preachers should enter actively into
politics, or secular engagements that
partake of personal political partisan
activity. The trend of all such acts on
the part of the preachers is in the direc-
ton of merging of church and state, a
consumation that this country will not
tolerate.

We heard Senator Plumb few days
ago talking with a party of friends about
the development Of Kansas. and the
strides she had made in her brief history,
pay a great compliment to the young
men of Kansas. With enthusiasm he
exclaimed: What a wonderful army
of Young men Kansas has turned out!
They are bright, brave and Of the highest
character. They are sought after IN the
east in all branches of business, and
many Of them are rapidly working their
way TO the front in eastern newspapers,
and in all the professions and lines Of
business. They are the most active and
Trustworthy of men, and are winning
laurels for Kansas everywhere. This Is
a great compliment 70 our BOYS, and
though we had never thought Of il be
fore, it is strictly true. Is Is almost a
sufficient accommodation for Kansas
boy applying for situation IN the east
10 say he is from Kansas. Tbs senator
spoke Of the matter with the greatest de-
gree OF pride.
