their improvidence, nor blame the hot winds
of Kansas which have made their farms I'M
productive for four success sive seasons. Men
rarely blame themselves for their own mis-
fortunes. They turned at once upon the
capitalists, and denounced them as Shylocks
and usurers. When the legislature assem-
bled, with Its House controlled by the Alli-
ance, there began considerable legislative
tinkering with the laws of the state relating
to debts, rates of interest, ETC., the object
being, Of course, to get the better of tho
money lenders. The result is what might
have been expected. The capitalists, who
have already begun to feel the effects of
losses caused by poor securities. are declin-
ing to send more money to Kansas. and are
getting what they have there cut of the
state as fast as possible. In spite of the
high rate of interest paid on Kansas
loans, 1t is doubtful IL the losses do
not amount to enough to cut down the
interest on the total amount sent out
there to very moderate rate. II the facts
could be known, 1t would probably be found
that the lenders have had about as hard
time as the borrowers. But every lender
conceals his losses. while the borrowers fill
the air with their complaints. The old Shy
lock story undoubtedly sho US strong case
against Shylock. But the modern Shylocks,
should the stories Of their investments in
Kansas be really known, might move the
court to tears Of sympathy. We venture to
say that the capitalists are much more ready
to get out Of Kansas than these same ALI
ance politicians will be to have them go.

The Death of Barrett was great loss to
the American stage; and it is to DO followed
by result that will be another serious
disappointment to the patrons Of the
stage. The announcement is made that
Booth has cancelled his engagements and
will very soon take vacation for an indefi-
mite time. 1t is expected that he will reap
pear upon the stage again; but no tisae is
fixed. The death of Barrett, to whom he was
greatly attached, has been severe shock 70
him. Moreover, he has worked very hard
and constantly for some years past. and is
greatly in need of rest. Mr.. Booth is the
leading figure upon the American stage to-
day, and with proper care of his health may
remain before the public for many years to
come.

If the Italian government insists on the
arrest and punishment of the leaders Of the
New Orleans mob there is nothing for our
government to do but to make answer that
the acts Of these men were entirely outside
the jurisdiction Of Federal authority, and that
the State Of Louisiana alone can deal with
them. Under our constitution the Federal
government has no more authority TO arrest
and try these men than does the kingdom of
Italy. 1t may be a bad arrangement, it may
be that the Federal courts ought to have
jurisdiction over cases affecting the property
or lives Of aliens, but it is the arrangement.
and whether good or bad the national gov
eminent, andIthe kingdom of Italy:also. must
abide by it. And there is no reason for the
latter to complain. If her subjects take up
their residence here it is fair to presume that
they do so knowing what the laws are, and
the method by which they must obtain re-
dress If they suffer wrong. Nobody compels
them to come here.

Take the sugar schedule in the Mckinley bill !;
carefully read Its provisions, and you will find
that instead of its giving the consumer free sugar
II practically taxes him cents pound more for
this commodity, for the free Importation law re-
lates only to unredned sugars and not on such as
are used on the family table.-Argus, Nov. z,
1890.
Yet yesterday morning the Argus, noted
as one of the things to be thankful for that
49, pounds of granulated sugar could be
bought for dollar. How does the Argus
explain the fact that the reduction takes
place at the moment the sugar schedule of
the Mckinley bill goes into effect? TIE
natural explanation Of course is that it is
due to these schedules, but the Argus is es.
topped from this explanation by the fact
that it declared after careful reading of the
Mckinley bill last November that that meas
ure taxed the consumers two cents pound
more for sugar. Of course an increase of
the tax on sugar would put the price up. not
lower H.

April 10th, rTYl, president Washington
signed the law establishing the American
patent system. Among the great enactments
by which the great departments of the
Federal government were established, this
act creating the patent Office deserves lead
ing place. 1t would be difficult to determine
just the degree of comparative Importance,
but certainly the stimulus which our patent
system has given to invention and the in
dustrial arts has been exceedingly great.
As fitting recognition of this fact the in.
Ventors have arranged for patent Gen.
tennial," as they call 1t, in Washington on
the Stb, 9th and 10th of this month. The
programme will include, besides the usual
receptions and parade of the troops Of the
District of Columbia, a series of addresses
by prominent men. The list of those who
will present papers includes such names as,
ex-Representative Benjamin Butterworth,
formerly commissioner of patents and au-
thor of the work industrial Art" Carroll d.
Wright, labor commissioner, Justice Samuel
Blatchford of the United States Supreme
Court, and Edward Atkinson. The papers
will touch upon all the topics relating par
tIcularly to inventions and their relations to
the industrial, political and social progress
of the American people; and they will all be
valuable contributions to the literature of
the great subjects embraced within the
scheme of our patent system.
