"THE HOME MARKET"
From, the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
The Massachusetts, bureau Of labor sta
tistics has made report on the aban-
doned farms Of the state which contains
some instructive chapters. One OF these
relates to Worcester county. The city
Of Worcester is a seat of protected IN
dustries Under the protective policy It
has grown populous. Il has also grown
rich in the sense that a considerable
number Of its inhabitants have grown
very rich. It is, in fact, and ideal home
market" for farmers, such as the apoz-
ties OF protectioni5m have been promis-
ing all these wears from the Morrill, bill
to the Mckinley bill.
But what have we as the fruit Of the
official investigations of the labor
bureau? Do we find that the farmers
Of Worcester county are pecuniariiy
favored and happy people, grown rich
by the sale OF garden sass" Il the
dwe!lers in the protected manufactur-
rig town; Alas, no. The re-
turns show that in fourteen towns Of
Worcester county there are 233 aban-
doned farms. on l24 Of which there are
buildings. The pro- o-tion Of abandoned
acreage TO the total varies from 70 IL
per cent III 9iiiSfStAN Wv hS- As-N = - a
significant fact that IN the fourteen
towns the percentage Of abandoned acre
age exceeds the average percentage for
the state.
Now the question for the AcKInley-
ties 10 solve Is this: II the great aud
fourishing manufacturing towns fasl TO
support the farms Ia the counties 70
which they are situated. how can they be
expected TO enrich the farms ID distzn:
agricultural states, Ike Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska. Minnesota snd the two

Of the agricultural states still cherish the
delusion that they are "a some way en-
riched bT a system which builds up and

Estate rights complexities the Italian
situation. Even if Italian subjects were
killed by the Louisiana mob, the United
States has no power to cOerce louisiana
into making reparation. Our national
government is placed in a ridiculous posi-
ton by this fact. We fought long and
bloody civil war to settle the doctrine OF
state rights" and still it isn't settled.
The logical thing for Italy TO do, if Louis
to war with Louisiana, while the rest OF
the country looks on. To such an absurd
ity are we reduced by the idiotic doctrine
OF state rights.-Topeka Journal.
The foregoing is of piece with a good
deal of such twaddle just now being in
dulged IN by some newspapers of the
country, and is more characteristic of a
sectional spirit than of patriotic fervor.
The questions at issue during the civil
war were irrevocably settled by that ar
bitrament. The only states rights point
involved in the present controversy is
that of the etonomy of the states, to de-
stroy which would be to wipe out geo.
graphical boundaries and local admins
trative regulations and concentrate the
entire police power and authority in the
head of the government at Washington.
which in turn would be but the abroga-
ton of the republic and the setting up of
an empire. Persons who are inclined to
shoot off after the fashion of the para
graph quoted ought at least to think once
before they speak

THE GRIP-WHAT is IT?

The most startling theory about the
grip has just been advanced by DIR.
Carl Seller, of Philadelphia, we'll
known specialists in throat troubles,
who in conversation with a travelling
companion day or two ago, declared
it to be his firm belief after years of in
vestigation, that that which we call the
grip, for lack of any better name, is an
absolutely new disease, in no way akin
to influenza, and is in all probability a
nervous affection or disease of the brain
primarily.
Heretofore" said DR.. Seller, "the
symptoms of this new disease have been
treated rather than the disease itself, and
that accounts for the great diversity of
views among medical men on the sub
Ject. It's manifestations are as varied
as it is possible to conceive. AS often
as it manifests itself by producing an
eczema, and one of the most remarkable
cases that has fallen under my attention
was that Of a lady who came to me for
treatment, suffering in this way so pain
fully that existence was impossible for
her except in bran bath. For two days
she lived in this bran mash, with only
her head above the surface"

A statician says: Few are aware of the
vast number of people that can be placed
on small tract of ground. When we
speak of millions Of men we are apt to
picture to ourselves an almost boundless
mass of humanity; yet a million of peo-
pie, standing closely together, each not
occupying more than four square feet,
could be placed on patch but little more
than third of a mile square. A square
mile will accommodate 1865, 200. At
that rate the whole population of the
United States would hardly cover three
miles square, and the whole population
of the world could stand on two town
ships"

UNCLE CHEr THOMAS DEAD.

Hon. Chester Thomas, who as Uncle
Chef. Thomas was historical character.
and who had been in politics nearly sixty
years, died at his home in Stafford day
before yesterday. He attended the last
United States court in this city as a jury
man and was taken sick before the ad-
Jurnment. During his stay here he
called at the EAGLE office and though
evidently quite feeble INDUCED in long
talk of the old times in Kansas, of the
territorial days, of Jim Lane, the grim
chieftain, and his conferees and of many
things else, as also of his early political
life III Pennsylvania, where he was the
friend and advisor of Wilmot and the
elder Cameron and others. He called
the second time to renew his remiscences,
but was too weak to talk much. A
history of his odd doings and queer
anagramatic saying would fill book.
He leaves several sons and daughters.
His brightest and most successful son,
Chester Thomas, Jr., who preceded him
but year or two, was formerly sheriff
and afterwards treasurer of Shawnee
county. A. S. Thomas, another son. was
for many years clerk of the United
States courts for Kansas, he retiring on
his own motion few years ago. Uncle
Chef, as the EAGLE mentioned at the
time referred to, was so years of age,
He will be buried today at Topeka,
where his home was for many years.

UNFAIR, IF NOT AN OUTRAGE.

Secretary Noble has ratified a lot of
new cattle leases in the Indian territory.
For years the government has been, in a
half-hearted way, endeavoring to get the
upper hand of the cattle combination
that have grown rich in the use of Indian
grass lands, and just as the last round
up is disappearing another official per-
mission is issued. The whole proceeding
is an outrage against the taxpayers and
stock raisers of surrounding states and
an undue advantage generally. If these
cattle barons were but forced to list their
stock for taxation at the homes of their
owners, there might be less cause of
complaint, but with no taxes to pay and
substantially free grass, the small stock
raiser on the farms of Kansas is put to
an unwarranted disadvantage.

duly enriching the creditor class at the
expense of the debtor class. The finan-
cal policy of the nation has been dictat-
ed by the east-by Wall street-through
all administrations since 1873. The In
terest of these dictators laid IN
| the direction of dear dollars.
! Silver. after having been the standard
OF value for eighty years was demone-
tlzed; gold alone made the foundation of
our circulation. With the vast expan-
sion OF our population and production
and the concurrent contraction OF the
gold supply, gold became too short a
measure of value for the people, and
every person who held securities calling
for the payment of dollars saw the pur-
chasing value Of those dollars, as meas
ured by other property, greatly increas-
ed; and the burden of this increase fell
upon the shoulders of the debtors. among
whom are thousands of Americas patri-
otto yeomanry, the flowers and pillars of
our country. 1t was slight-of-hand
| financial trick worked by the money
| manipulators of the east, and the debt
burdened people wondered for a long
time what was the matter. They knew
there was screw loose" in the machine
somewhere, but did not for some time
know where to locate it. They realized
that whether they had large crops or a
crop failure it was the same thing-they
could not unload the incubus of debt.
Like kitten in the receiver of an air
pump, when the air is being exhausted,
they knew something was the matter
and set themselves, finally. to determine
what it was Some said. 10 here" and
others, ''Lo, there" 1t was trusts. y
combinations, ''bucket shops ''ex-
cessive railroad freights,' "big profits of
middlen1en," etc. 1t was this and it
was that. Finally the real culprit
was brought to light when the currency
question was investigated. Wall street
newspapers made special pleas for the
invlolability of government credit and
through their manipulations the credit
of Uncle Sam was made so good that his
per cent bonds were worth % per cent
premium. Who is Uncle Sam: The
people, of courre, whose interest is but
served by making governments credit
at SO high a premium: The creditor
class-the holder of the government
bonds. AT whose expense? The people,
Of course. Every body who has any tax
to pay, but the special burdens of such a
state of affairs fall upon those who were
obliged to convert property into dollars
in order to discharge obligations incurred
at time when less property would have
sufficed to discharge the debt. When
people fairly woke up to realization of
the situation the professional politician
became aware that something had to be
done and the result is that we now have
silver coinage of $54 100000 yaar and
prices of commodities are advancing and
things are more hopeful. ga half loaf
is better than no bread" We could
stand little more expansion without
dishonesty, but with some good banking
feature connected with our present
coinage laws we will, if we are indus
trious and economical, get along very
we'll. l.. ARGENT.

OUR DISTRACTED CAPITOL.

They are having a resubmission fight
IN Topeka, and it is hot one, involving
al the newspapers. Judge Quinton is
the regular Republican candidate, Judge
Cofran heads the other side. Some of
the fellows got so hot over the situation
that they gave away saloon that had
peen running for some years. But it
was raided at an unlucky hour, and now
members of the present Republican-Pro-
hIbltion administration are trying to ex-
plain their presence in the saloon when
1t was pulled. The Resubmissionists de-
clare that they were there to get some
thing to drink, while the Prohibitionists
claim that they were simply on hand in
pursuance of official duty to see that the
raiding officers didn't weaken. Oh, saint
iy Topeka.
