peared and announced that none of the
men wanted were In Jail, and offered to

THE WEALTH OF KANSAS.

Our debts stand for our investments,
and not for our losses. They represent
our enterprise and not our misfortune,
our property and not our poverty
Kansas Republican League.
The peoples party press are carrying
the above paragraph under big head
lines as campaign document, and yet
there never was clearer and sounder
statement of an economic truth.
y farmer buys farm and pays
81, 800 down. giving NOR. gage
for balance OF 1880. Does
that debt represent loss or an invest
ment. Clearly it is an investment.
The same proposition applies with
equal force to the condition OF every
business man who borrows money with
which TO carry on business or forward
great enterprises. The Gebts OF Kansas
have not been incurred TO pay grocer
bills, but to develop the state, and
hence they stand for the investments OF
the people.

Carried Off by Turks.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-From Constanti-
nophe comes an account of more out
RACES on the Christian Armeniaus. The
The Turks. who recently carried off a
number OF Armenian maidens, were
permitted by the authorities to retain
them, notwithstanding the protest OF
their parents, on the ground that the
girls had become converted to Mahom-
mechanism.
As no one had chance to see the
girls and ascertain whether the alleged
conversion had any basis of truth. the
decision was so manifestly unjust that
it created great alarm through
Armenia. That the alarm was justified
is proven by the fact that the abduction
and the alleged conversion Of Armenian
girls Is now becoming an established
Turkish industry.
