The Fest the Landlord Could Do Was -
Confuse the icy Brcexes.
All early Kansans and every one who
Travelled in tho State in days gone by
remember .'Old McMeekin." who during
the years of his prolonged life was the
genial host Of more hotels than any other
man, and once famous as the landlord
Of the il -tal left House In Topeka,

tell a s;o-. is thrilling II not as bloody
as those of the Bastilc in the time Of
Robespicrrc. In 1867, says the Kansas
City Star, ''Mac" was proprietor Of tho
Marshall House in Ellsworth, then and
for years afterwards the .'hardest' town
on the American continent. The
structure was . veritable she'll Of lum-
her, its partitions thin boards reaching
only half way to the roof, so that OF.
dinary conversation in any room could
b. heard in any part Of the wretched
building. 1t was always crowded, how
ever, for business in the new ''clty" wss

One night in February Of 1868, when
the wind was blowing fcarfully, the

The intrinsic value of product OF
thing lies in the use to which it may
be put.
That there is one dollars worth in
25. grains of gold is SO only because
the law has made that metal a stand
ard of value, or money. If the law
making gold legal tender for all debts
was repealed, its value would rapidly
decline because its use as money has
been destroyed and it could be used
only in the arts. 1t is estimated that
there is now mined enough gold to last
fifty years if it was used only in the
arts and not as money. If there was,
in the language of an exchange. fifty
years supply of wheat on hand, what
would that cereal be worth? The same
is applicable to gold. 1t is because
the law puts the government stamp on
it thereby making it money and Great
ing a use for it as a medium of ex-
change that it is valueable. Money is
the creature of law and as long as this
is SO, paper containing the govern mcnt
stamp is as good as the metals.

there are farmers who are still hum
bugged and deceived in the belief that
they are protected in having tariff or
farm products is one Of the astonish-
ing facts Of this day and age. The
strength of the protectiorist lies in
the credulity of the people. But the
light of reason is dawning on the minds
of the aoricuIturalists.

A BIG HAIL STORY.

Saxony, now residing at Mount Healthy,

unqucstioned veracity) possesses all the
ear-marks Of o Munchausen tale: 'Itwas

o'clock in the afternoon, that sharp,
black cloud suddenly arose in tho
heavens over my native village, near
Weimer. in Saxony, and the terrible thun-

the size Of hens eggs. Tho people had
all fed to places Of safety and were
watching the awful bombardment. All

The time for holding the primaries
for the election of delegates to the
Peoples convention is not far off and
it is necessary for the central commit
teemen to see that interest in the
matter is awakened. There should be
full representation from every pre-
cinct-not a single vacancy should oc-
cur. Harvest is in full swing and pre-
badly will be at the date of the conven
tion, hut as the sentiment in favor Of
holding the convention August 1st pre-
vailed with full knowledge that it
would be busy season of the year,
this should not stand in the way and
We hope will not. The Times again
urges the members Of the party to at
tend the primaries and see that their
precincts are fully represented.

It is estimated that the United
States will supply Europe with $50, OOO
600 bushels of wheat this year.
This is somewhat Of a surprise to
people who have been taught to believe
that prstcction creates a home market
for the frrmer. But there is another
surprise in addition to this.
Papers regardless Of parties are pre-
dieting that the price of wheat will be
high-not under a dollar per bushel
at least, and many think that it will
reach $l.75. They think this because
Of the poor crops in Europe.
But the protectionists insist that
the price of wheat is made in America.
If that is so and we have surplus Of
$50, 100000 bushels, Lord pity the
wheat growers of this country. But
fortunately it is not so and any man
with an lota Of reason, including pro-
lection editors, knows that it isn't. If
the price of wheat was regulated ty
the demand in this country alone and
we have $50, ,00O, 900 bushels surplus,
that cereal would not be worth 25cts
per bushel and there isn't an intelll-
gent farmer in the country but what
will admit the truth of the statement.
What the United States lacks in the
way Of meeting supply with demand,
is made up by Europe and hence the
latter fixes the price by increasing the
demand. This is so plain that it be-
comes an axiom.
But here is another phase of the
tanff question that ought to come home
to the farmer who will study the ques-
ter. How foolish and idiotic is this
talk Of putting protective tariff on
wheat to keep out that grown in Eu-
rope, when We export 15O. 900, 900 bu.
to that country! A schoolboy ought
easily to understand that 1t is impossi-
bic to protect an Industry by a tariff
when It exports more of its products
than any like industry in any other na-
taoo in the World. Amenca will this
year produce j50, zee, ,OoG bushels
of wheat more than she can use 1t
home. She must ship ii to Europe to
sell it. Here the protectionist steps
in and puts tariff ON foreign wheat
to keep farmers in the old conntry.
from shipping wheat in here! That

The newspapers contain columns re-
garding Blaine health. Some reports
are unfavorable but they are immedi-
ately followed denying that
anything serious is the matter.
The very fact that there is so much
mystery surrounding his condition
seems to warrant the belief that he is
more seriously i'll than his friends and
relatives will admit. The widespread
interest that Blaine's indisposition en-
lists, is a gauge Of his popularity.
The dash and vim of the man from
Maine has made him more followers
and admirers than any other man in
the country can boast of.

Work OH the Tunnel About Finished and
Trains Soon to Run.
Work on the tunnel under the In
ternational railroad has progressed
we'll during the week, and tomorrow
it is expected to be completed and
then the work OF track laying will be-
gin.
1t is pretty certain that the road
will be in running order in
about ten days, and then the
business of building the great dam will
begin in earnest.
Mr.. Corrigan has exercised wonder
full patience and has been, and is yet,
running a big risk. If the river
should take one of its sudden rises, as
it nearly always does at this season of
the year, thousands of dollars of his
work would be destroyed. If he can
get his granite into the big hole he
has dug out there he will be all right
and he will get it there in hurry
when the railroad is in order.

Prominent Lawyers Mentioned for tn

To provide for the prompt DISPOSE

another Judge will be provided and he
is to be appointed by Governor

Two gentlemen are prominently
mentioned for the place, Messrs. j. H.
Robertson ID Dave Hewlett, and
from what can be learned it is more
than probable the position will be
rendered to Mr.. Robertson if he will
consent to acceptit. He is gentle
man of high legal attachments and
his ability as a lawyer is recognized by
the bar of this and adjoining counties
where he is we'll known. No doubt
his acceptance of the position will be
hailed with satisfaction by the entire
bar OF the district.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Should Mr.. Robertson be appointed

judge, VS. cancy will be made in the
Office of district attorney, and it is
current that Messrs. Brooks, Burle-
son and Ward will be urged by their
friends for the position, with the
chances, so far as THE STATESMAN
can learn, in favor of
Mr.. Ward. Mr.. Burleson is
a young lawyer of marked
ability and by close application he is
going to make brilliant reputation.
Should he be appointed the district
will have an able attorney. THE
STATESMAN is not so well acquainted
with Mr.. Brooks, but he stands high
in the estimation OF the bar.
With either of the gentlemen
named for judge, or either of those
suggested for district attorney the bar
and the people will be satisfied.
