Their Iniouities Coming to Light.

Pennsylvania has placed at the head
of Eer state government staunch dem
ocratic governor; the people of that
state have become aroused to the
iniquities of republican rule and are
investigating the methods of men who,
through political influence. have gained
places of power and position and there
by gained great wealth at the expense
of the poor. A dispatch from Phila-
delphia, dated March Goth, reveals the
following startling facts:
Recent revelations at Mercer. Pa.
disclose the fact that the state of Penn
sylvania has been robbed of more than
$1,000, 900 in mismanagement Of the
soldiers orphans school. The illegal
profits of one of the ten big schools
amounted to $27O, 900, and this school
was one of the three that were con.
trolled by syndicate headed by eX-
State Senator Geo. w. Wright, of Mer-
Ger, Pa. The fortunes accumulated by
eight men through pinching the orphans
and fleeing the state are alleged to be
roundly as follows: Geo. W. Wright
$500, 900; John I. Gordon, s2S5, 900; s
F. Thompson, 5000; R. o. Wright
$65, 900; James L. Paul. s6O, 900; Mayor

There is more true Christianity in
the above than in ten columns of
Brother Botkin's prohibition articles.
If the founder of the christian religion
taught any one thing more than another
it was the brotherhood of man. How
ever, nothing short of vision such as
came to Peter will ever convince some
modern christians that of a truth.
''God is no respecter of persons. The
spectacle of man or woman. who
degrades the woman who cooks their
dinner and washes their dishes getting
down on their knees and raving for the
conversion of the world and then ask
other people to donate of their labor to
carry the gospel to heather lands, is one
of those exhibitions of hypocrisy that
makes the average unconverted man
sigh for a rest. AS matter of fact the
selfishness that will enable man to
accumulate wealth and send him to hell
will also prevent his respecting the
|
of toll The christian religion, when
properly understood, teaches the
equality and brotherhood of man. It
does not teach that one man is just as
black or just as white, just as intelli-
gent, OF just as ignorant. just as pious
or just as sinful as another, but it does
teach that the honest man eats the
bread earned by his own honest tell;
it teaches that labor is honorable and
the laborer is worthy of his hire. This
being true, it is simply ignorance that
supposes that labor is not honorable.
The woman who washes the dishes
provided she washes them clean-is just
as good as the womn who plays the
piano in the parlor, and the man who
works on the streets, is a great deal
better than the man who loafs all the
Wichita Beacon.

THE FINANcIER, a New York publica-
ton, saws that s'Senator PETERS recent
ly published interview in favor of the
sub-t1easury bill has provoked serious
thought where least expected; his atti-
tude, which he supports by statistics,
that the farmers get an average of forty
per cent. less in return for their products
by being obliged to sell when money is
tight, and that this has occurred during
all recent years, is powerful argument
in affording the farmers some immedi-
ate relief -

Hoisington needs a city hall and
needs it bad. There has been quite q
good deal of talk regarding this matter
and it is thought by some that it would
be advisable to vote bonds for this pur-
pose. We believe hall could be made
to pay for itself and would like to see q
proposition come before the people.

He says that a German syndicate with
a capital of 1000, 900 will put in fac

have, through the DEMOCRAT, tried to
interest the farmers of Barton county

in the belief that the enterprise will
eventually be paying one in this part

THE LeavenwOrth negroes are in
open revolt against the republican
party. They held a convention and
nominated negro ticket from top to
bottom. Capt. d. w. Mathews is the
candidate for mayor. The excuse for
this action on the part of the negroes
is found in the following extract from
one of the speeches: "For twenty-five
years the colored voters have been
voting the republican ticket, but they
never had a cclored man to vote for.
They were good enough to vote, but
not good enough to be voted for.''
