sas. 1t is now officially announced by the
Secretary Of the Kansas Board Of Agriculture
that there are favorable prospects for the

true. OF course. as We are told by the Sec oretary
that the growing wheat has passed through
trying ordeal. under bad conditions. and has
suffered from the drought. aud has been
scorched by the hot sun. and has been in
tested by the Hessian fly. and has been in q
state that alarmed tho farmers. And yet. after
all, and under all these adverse circumstances.
the Kansas wheat has grown pretty well. so we'll
that the afflicted farmers In tho southern tier
OF counties have already begun the merry
work OF harvesting. and tho damage to tho
crops. from all Causes combined. will not be
more than 25 per cont" We congratulate tho
Kansas wheat raisers. and can encourage
them with the news that they will be able to
market their crop at . fair price, without tho
assistance OF tho inventors OF the Sub-Treas-
ury plank In the Ocala Alliance platform. We
have been 80 long accustomed to hear only
complaints from Bleeding Kansas that 1t is

Cleveland's Opportunity.

It is reported all the way from Russia that
Mr.. SYLVAN DORNoN, the man who walked
from Paris to Moscow on stills, is in bad
way. The officers of the French exposition
In that town won't let him In to see
the pictures unless he comes down to
the level Of other mortals; and. meaner
still, they want him to pay for his
ticket! Now that is pretty tough treat
individual; but there is always a lesson, or,
at least, good suggestion. for somebody
In every story, however sad. Walking on
stills is an exercise that is neglected In this
country. and yet 1t Is admirably adapted for
the reduction Of superfuous fat. Mr.. GROVER
CLEVELAND. formerly OF Buffalo. is already
renowned for the energy with which he
set to work to do away with such
superabundant matter. He has tried fish
ing. mountain climbing. running and Jump
ing, but he hasn't yet tried stills. Let him
get pair at once, practise until he gets his
limbs thoroughly trained to them, and then
let him walk upon them from Buffalo to
Chicago, whore he can inspect the work that
Is believed to be going on for the Worlds
Fair. In the smoky city he would receive q
far finer welcome than the cold one that
was extended to Mr.. DoRNoN in Moscow.
Indeed. the whole trip would cost him
little but exertion. Every hotel keeper would
be delighted to feed him and bed him
free OF any charge, and take the best OF
care OF his stills and his cyclopedia.
All creation would cheer him on tho
way. His chances for the Presidency would
be multiplied beyond enumeration. He is
already fifty pounds lighter than he was
when he ran for President In 1883. Con-
sequently his chances now are fifty times
as good as they were then. But, to make Q

A Lost City.

Mining prospectors have recently been
hunting for the lost Adams mine and for
other diggings OF reputed wealth and uncer-
tain location. Most practical miners believe
these diggings never existed save in the
Imagination OF gifted story tellers; but
the romances about them pale into insig-
niflcance when compared with the remark
able tctions concerning the discovery Of
precious metals which deluded the Old
World in the sixteenth century, when crowds
OF adventurers were swarming westward.
The strangest Of these stories related to
enormous treasures existing somewhere in
equatorial South America. In the latter
part Of that century tho Old World had not
particle Of doubt that there was an area
in eastern South America where gold was as
common as iron and copper were In Europe.
WALTER RALEIGH was among the victims
Of this delusion. and he was one OF the
throng that descended upon that part of the
New World In the expectation OF finding
the golden paradise
It was In 1896 that RALEIGH published the
highly colored story Of his "Discovery
OF the largo. rich, and beautiful Empire
OF Guiana" Most writers Of the day were
led by Indian reports to affirm that tho
golden city Of Manoa. upon the banks Of
Lake Parime, was to be found near the
Maroni River in what is now known as
French Guiana. Wherever it was. RALEIGH
did not hesitate to inform Queen ELIZA
BETH chat these reports were true. Finally.
the Spaniard, MARTINEZ, who had a most
brilliant imagination. declared that he had
spent nearly year in Manoa. OF which he
gave an elaborate description.
He said the city was Of enormous size. and
its population almost innumerable. Not
less than 5000 workmcn could be seen at
their daily toll In the principal street.
The Emperor's palace. built Of white mar
BILE. ornamented with gold. occupied beau
tiiul island. Three artificial mountains
snvironed the palace. One OF them was
Of solid gold, another OF silver. and the
third OF salt. which was protected in
some mysterious manner from dissolution.
The palace was supported upon columns OF
alabaster and porphyry Around it were gal
leries Of ebony and cedar. the wood work
lavishly inlaid with gold and precious stones.
Two towers guarded the entrance, each
twenty-five feet In height, and surmounted
by immense moons OF silver. Two living
lions were attached to the foot of the COL
umns by chains Of gold. In the palace was
large square. adorned with silver foun-
tains and vases, into which water ran
through four gold pipes. Tho King was
called FL Dorado. on account OF the splendor
of his costume. Among the mountains all
around were inexhaustible mines, tho source
OF this splendor European credulity was
strong enough to give life for years to such
nonsensical yarns; and probably no travel
ler in the Maroni Valley from CREvAUx to
BRuNErTI has faileI to contrast the actual
poverty Of the region with the glittering
descriptions Of RALEIGH and MARTINEZ.

The Place OF the Seal.

Dispatches from Washington report tn at
the President and the Department Of State
have been engaged In preparing the agree
ment for a close season In Behrlng Sea In an
ticipation OF the passing by the House OF
Lords Monday OF the Seal Fisheries act which
had already been passed by the House of
Commons. 1t is reported, too. that the rev.
enue cutter Corwin will shortly be despatched
to Behring Sea to carry the news OF the close
season. We suppose, however, that until
the Order In Council Is issued there will be
no need Of warning tho Canadian sealers
or instructing tho commanders of the Bear
and Rush as to the nature OF their police
duty this year. The issuing Of such order Is
perinissive, and its terms may not be SET
tied until after considerable further corre-
spondence with tho United States and Can
ada. Mr.. WILLIAM H. SMITH said in the
House OF Commons June that the order
would not be issued until the consent Of
Russia had boon obtained. On tho same
day Sir JAMES FERGUSON. Political Secre-
tary OF the Foreign Office. said that al
though Russia had been favorable to the
close season, nothing had recently been
heard from her on the subject. Is the De-
partment OF State in possession Of informa-

the time for beginning tho close season will
have to be postponed, or there may be no
close season.
Even when the Order in Council has been
issued, and tho agreement for a close season
signed and Mr.. BLAINE and Lord SALISBURY
have further opportunity for discussion on
the provisions Of tho agreement, 1t will be
some time before the United States is able to
do effectually her share Of police duty in
Behring Sea. The Rush and the Bear are not
regarded with fear by tho poachers. and the
unsettled state OF affairs in Chilli will prob
ably prevent the despatch Of the most
effective naval vessels on tho Pacific coast.
The Plnta has bcen in Behring Sea this
spring. and she would have to be reen-
forced by some OF the vessels at the Mare
Island Navy Yard. On the whole. there
will still be considerable opportunity and
perhaps time for the seal poachers to make
big catch. Tho 1870 seals OF the North
American Commercial Company are likelyto
be only part OF the total catch this season.
The Canadians have not succeeded in hold.

would like but they may succeed In getting

Tho Monster of Socialism.

The encyclical letter Of tho Pope on tho
relations Of tho Church to labor Is striking
indication Of the tendency OF modern Chris
tianity to cxpend Its energies for the practi-
cal amelioration Of social conditions. The
theory OF tho Pope Is that the improvement
cannot come from merely secular agencies,
but must be brought about by applying the
spirit and principles of Christianity under
the inspiration OF the Church.
He considers tho methods OF cure pro-
posed by the Socialists as utterly futile or
rs infinitely worse than the present evils of
competition. By abollshing private prop
erty aud transferring individual possessions
tothe community, the Socialists would create
the most cruel tyranny ever established
In civilization and "strike at the interests
of every wage earner.' for they would "de-
prive him OF tho liberty Of disposing Of his
wages. and thus Of all hope and possibility
of increasing his stock and bettering his con-
dition In life." The individual would have
no rights, the community all rights and oil
power.
That would be frightful despotism. under
which society would sink into apathy and
eventually into barbarism. Tho individual
would be slave, and the freedom with which
he had parted would never come back to
him. unless after conflict longer md fercer
than any mankind has entered upon
In tho whole course Of its fights to
throw of the shackes Of tyranny. So
ciety. too, would be unified for such
Q contest because Of the supineness
produced by Its complete enslavement; and
therefore the battles would be long and saw
age marked by the terrible atrocities In
separable from an insurreotion Of slaves.
and involving the utter destruction OF the
fabric OF civilization and all the material and
spiritual treasures contained within 1t.
The conflict would bo between mass OF
hopeless and desperate slaves, stripped OF
every material possession. imbruted and
ferooious, and few masters having In their
hands every power and every resource OF
tho community. theoretically. the prop
srty would be held In common; practically.
The sun., 1891-06-10

It's power would be welded by small num-
Der Of individuals, making OF them tyrants
comparable In their capacity for oppression
to the tabled giants resistless by tho usual
human energy.
Tho history Of the Knights OF Labor. for
instance, shows what the result would be.
That organization started on the soclalistic
principle Of taking away the freedom OF the
individual laborer for the benefit OF the
whole mass Of laborers. The individual thus
put himself under subjcction to master;
for OF necessity the despotic power was ex-
ercised by q few men. and at the
last by one man, since the order could
not get along without head. Sol would
bc In any socialist organization OF society in
general. The affairs Of the community
would have to be administered by individ-
uals, who would practically possess the
whole wealth and power, and In the end
they would be the men most capable OF such
mastership.
II abilities like those OF JAY GOULD or COM
modore VANDERBILT command the control
Of vast private enterprises under the pres
ent organization OF society, they would
have far greater opportunity under social-
ism. They cannot be destroyed by any
method OF eocial transformation. They
would remain to assert themselves still, and
In socialism they would find field infinitely
moro inviting to ambition. The State
would be everything. and few individuals
would run the State. They would have all
the property and they could buy and retain
all the power in their inalienable possession.
They would be the masters and tho people
their submissive slaves.
II, therefore, the community yields up its
individual possessions. 1t will yield them up
to individuals. 1t will give away its strength
and get nothing in return. It will disarm
itself to become the easy prey OF tyrants,
beside whom the Shah Of Persia Is a
clement and powerless monarch shackled
by obligations to his people. That is
the outcome Of which the result OF every
socialistic experiment in modern times
affords o certain indication. The farmers
ore now repeating tho process. but before
they have gone far with it. they will discover
that they are forging chains for their slavery
instead Of removing fettcrs to their ad-
vancement. They are now In the hands OF
vulgar and crack-brained masters, whose
tyranny they can easily throw off. but they
are inviting sagacious tyrants to bind them
In slavery from which there Is no escape.
The Fope. therefore. has performed
great service for mankind in picturing for
them the horrible monster. the frightful
ogre. which socialism will really become.

First the Facts.

The sub-committee OF the Senate Finance
Committee which has been at work selecting
articles to be the basis OF an inquiry con-
Quoted by the Bureau OF Labor ns to the
effect OF tho tariff upon prices and wages.
adjourned last week. 1t will meet again in
October to consider the facts collec, ed by the
Commissioner Of labor and his assistants.
II the inquiry is conducted judiciously and
10 fruitful Of facts. tho conclusions derived
from 1t may be pressed into party service.
It appears, however, that tho sub-commit-
tee, which consists OF Mr.. ALDR1oH, Mr..
CARLISLE, and Mr.. HIscoCK, have avoided
giving any political wrench to the prepara-
tons for the inquiry. Whatever articles
have been put into the schedules" says Mr..
ALDR1cH. "have been placed there by unani-
nous consent. There has been no oppor-
tunity to draw partisan politics into the
discussion. When we find out the facts. we
shall be at liberty to draw our own infer.
ences." Mr.. CARLISLE, too. says that the
work has been without political feeling or
significance. The effect which the facts We
hope to learn may have on any shade
OF politics or economy OF belief has not
yet been discussed. We are simply af-
ter facts. Conclusions that may be drawn
from those facts have not entered into
the case at all. II either party is to get
any advantage from the investigation. we do
not know 1t; and we cannot know 1t until we
are nearer the end Of the investigation. The
members Of the committee have been in
perfect harmony"
When the committee reports, there will be
storchouse Of facts to draw upon in regard
to American tariffs In general and the Mo-
KNLEY bill in particular.
