POVERTY Is EXPENSIVE.

There is nothing so expensive as
poverty, says Washington house
vile. 1t seams paradoxical to put
it SO, but no poor man can afford
not to be few dollars ahead in the
world. The extreme case is that of
the very poor, who must pay for
coal double the price charged the
rich because they have to get it by
the bushel or scuttleful, and so with
everything else. The poor woman
must pay $50 for sewing machine
on instaliments, though she could
buy it for S35 cash down. Her lack
OF the ready cash costs her SIS that
is, whereas it is the poor who ought
to get everything cheaper, they
have always to pay enormously more
than the rich for the same things,
merely because they are poor. In
extremity they must seek the pawn
broker, who again preys upon their
slender resources because they have
so little. Credit for anything always
costs money, and the poor are those
who must pay for it. Our means are
very moderate, and the only reason
that we get along SO comfortably as
we do is that we never owe for any
thing. Years ago we were always
in debt, and the struggle was severe
to get along, without counting the
distress and annoyance incidental to
owing tradesmen money. Finally,
we found out what the matter was,
and got square with the word by a
long effort OF sell denial. Cur i'll.
come is no greater now than then,
but it produces at least one third
more because we have no bills. De-
pend upon 1t, poor man can not
afford not to be somewhat ahead of
the world, otherwise the world will
soon get so far ahead of him that
life will be burden.

Mems proper business in this
world falls mainly into three di-
visions first, to know themselves
and the existing state of things they
have to do with secondly, to be
happy in themselves and in the
existing state of things thirdly, to
mend themselves a. the existing
state of things as far as either are
marred or mendable.

THE WORLDS DEBT.

Another bulletin has been issued,
showing that the net Indebtedness OF
the world in 1890 aggregated s26, 917,-
096, 600, OF which amount the debt of
the government of the United States
constituted $40 per cent: the total
debt of the several states and territories
together with that of their respective
counties, 1.36 per cent. and the total
debt of all foreign countries 1924 per

WAGES ARE RISING.
From the Chicago Jomnl.

From the Chicay 20 JonnI.
Wages are going up for goods pro-
tected by the Mckinley tariff. At the
Barnaby mill, Fall River, wages for
weaving have been increased as follows
On So cent goods to SO cents per cut,
and on 81 cent goods to 80 cents. The
agent has agreed to remove the warps
from the looms on which S1.3O per cut
was being paid. The managers of the
Wamsutta mill No. 5, New Bedford,
Mass, have voluntarily increased the
wages on various grades. On certain
patterns of goods the increase amounts
to cents per cut. The same increase
has been made in plain and fancy goods,
scarcity Of help being the reason as
signed. At recent meeting of furnace
owners of the Mahoning Valley. held at
Youngstown, Ohio. it was decided to
advance the wages of all employees 10
per cent.

ARE THESE LINCOLN'S WORDS?

To the Kansas City Star.
In a recent issue of the New Nation I
find this alleged quotation from Presi-
dent Lincoln:
II see, in the near future" said Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1865. "a crisis approach
ing that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of my country.
As result of the war corporations have
been enthroned, and an era Of corrup-
ton in high places will follow, and the
money power will endeavor to prolong
its reign by working upon the preju-
dices of the people until all wealth Is
aggregated in few hands and the re-
public is destroyed. feel at this mo-
menr more anxiety for the safety of my
country than ever before, even in the
midst of the war"
The same extract has been floating
through the journals of anarchy and
socialism for several years, and has been
a favOrite paragraph with pessimistic
orators IN their appeals to the passions
of the poor.
1t does not appear in any of the pub
llshed messages, speeches or letters Of
Lincoln. The internal evidence is
against its authenticity. The words,
the style, the construction are like
nothing in his composition. Mr.. Nico-
lay, his former secretary, has never
seen nor heard such expressions in the
writings or utterances Of President
Lincoln.
Evidently it is a malignant and clum-
sy forgery. Yours,

HE IS TIRED.
From the Emporia Republican.

From the Emporia Republican.
The editor of the national newspape
organ of the alliance. published al
Washington. is sick Of his party and Of
his mission in journalism, and has de-
termined to join the republican party.
if reports be true He is quoted as
saying: II am going to join party
that stands for something, which has
positive views, and knows how to advo-
cate and how to defend them; which
seeks and generally secures prosperity
for the people. and which usually WINS.
1 am tired OF chasing the will-o'.the-
wisps of the third party movements.
The leaders in them pretend that they
are endeavoring to rid the people Of
boss rule. In reality they are seeking
to elevate themselves to boss ship,
which, if successful. would be more ty-
rannical because more ignorant than
the nominations OF the leaders or of the
bosses i'll the two great parties"
Undoubtedly this expresses the con-
victions Of thousands of good men who
have been honestly seeking reform
through the medium of the alliance
party. A reform movement, to retain
the confidence of honest citizens, must
give evidence of reform purposes of a
practical and sensible sort. When
nothing is apparent, however, but some
wild experimental schemes aud a gen.
eral scramble for Office, it Is not surpris-
ing that good men are becoming dis
gusted and returning to the only
party that has accomplished any genu-
inc reform work for the past thirty
years. No patriotic citizen, no matter
what his politics, can contemplate in
his quiet moments the grand achieve
ments of the republican party without
feeling of pride that he is one of the
sovereigns in this great kingdom of the
people.

THERE must be something little
irregular in public sentiment in
Omaha. The WOrld-Herald speaking
of the attendance at an exposition in
that city, says: Round about the
gallows where Ed Neil looked last on
earth the children played last night,
and in the shadow which fell from it
cast by the electric lights, men and
women gathered to look on. Even
the steps up to the platform were
traversed by hundreds of feet, as
those more curious or more DESTROYS
of being seen than the others, went
aloft to look down. There's no deny
ing it, the gallows was the strong
card. The World-Herald says moth
ing of its being unusual in American
cities to keep gibbet standing in the
vicinity of an exposition.

Is A CHECK MONEY?
m the McPte-sc n. Kan. Republican.

From the McPEerson. Kan, Republican.
According to the theory of certain
people, whatever will pay a debt is
money: whatever will not cannot be so
classified. In other words, the power
of debt-paying is the sole criterion.
Some days ago, SOMEBODY paid us q
check for $3.50. Shortly afterward we
paid 1t out to another party. Yesterday
IN one OF the stores we saw man pay
that same check to another party. In
quiry developed the fact that it had
already paid debts to the amount of
sc, and was still going the rounds.
Now is that check money, or is it not !?

THE earthquake across the central
portion Of the Mississippi Valley
from Memphis to Keokuk, extending
ON the east to Louisville and west for
a shorter distance from the river, re-
calls the great earthquake which had
its center at New Madrid early in
this century, and which was one of
the most severe known in this coun-
try. All great river valleys have
their shocks and slips, generally in a
line parallel with their course-this
one ran north and southland which
are ordinarily attributed to the
changes due to erosion and the de-
posit of alluvium which change the
balance of the earth's crust. 1t is in
tereSting to note that in the present
instance the shock was in general
confined to the territory on each side
of the Mississippi and it's tributaries
under 500 feet of elevation. The
places reported as feeling the shock
are nearly all below this elevation,
and the 5O0-foOt contour line runs
back farther on the left than on the
right bank of the Mississippi at this
point, which may account for the
wider eastward extent of the shock.

In nearly every case where the
funds held in a flduciary capacity
have disappeared the method Of easy
plumber has been due to two causes:
First, the absence of supervision, leav-
ing bank officers without external
check when exposed to the temptation
of cupidity or dishonesty: and, second,
the disposition of the officials to use
the funds intrusted to their charge in
speculative enterprises generally akin
to pure gambling. Back of all this,
of course, : the prevalent social
theory that it is the duty Of every
man to get rich without much regard
to the means by which he does SO.

THE Oshkosh Northwestern bewailS
to the extent of three-fOurthS of a
column the fatality of the name of

fluence Of that name, and the disad-
vantage under which the unfortunate
city bearing it labOrs in the race with
other places more happily christened.
Yet it suggests no way out OF the
trouble. 1t utters its little wall and
then bows with humility to the dis
pensatiOn and ventures the hope that
Oshkosh will continue to be as pros
porous and happy with its present
name as if it had some other" This

ton that precedes it and calls for the

The Kansas City Journal is looking
long way ahead of present cOndi-
tions, though according to its own
statement those conditions seem to be
fixed beyond all hope of change in the
near future. 1t says, kansas City is
beyond doubt going to be the big
wheat market of the West, and all
the railroad combinations in the
world cannot prevent it," Yet in the
next breath it tells its readers that
$50 long as the present system prevails
it will be impossible to determine the
value of bushel Of wheat here, and
this fact will greatly interfere with
trading" And this, though the same
article admits that ~the joint grain
agency of the railroads centering in
Kansas City has been in operation for
several weeks. 1t has given rise to
no complaint, and proved as satisfac-
tory to both grainmen and railroads
as a mere makeshift can" 1t looks
very much as if the article in Ques-
tion was a joint-stOck production,
written by two individuals who fol-
lowed the advice given by Denis
Kearney to the Calieornians, Pool
your issues" II not incubated in
that way it may have been produced
under some such influence as that
which controlled the man who once
wrote an article about The Elbows of
the Nincio."
