OFF FOR KIRO.

John A. Anderson, the newly appoint
ed consul general to Cairo, Egypt, says
he no longer knows anything about Kan
sas politics or takes any intesest in it.
The Newton Republican contains the
following interesting mention of how the
gentleman who has SO suddenly become
oblivious to Kansas affairs came to his
good fortune. That paper says: Fol
lowing the principle of sticking to his
friends" SO much commended in Grant
and other chief magistrates, and Presi-
dent Harrison could hardly have done
less than to appoint John A. Anderson
as consul general to Cairo. The relations
of the president and Anderson have been
as that of brothers ever since Harrison
entered Miami college as a student. He
was room mate with Anderson in the
home Of the latter's father, who was
president. Anderson's vacation was
spent at Harrison's home. He was
groomsman at Harrison's wedding and
his father performed the ceremony. He
visited him at his TEN several times dur
ing the war. They were chums during
the presidents senatorial career, and
since the latter became president they
have been together as brothers"

CHICAGO'S MUNICIPAL CONTEST

In the municipal fight in Chicago,
Governor Peck, of Wisconsin, and Sem
ator-elect Palmer, of Illinois, will both
assist the regular" Democracy with a
speech.
To our mind, Governor Peck, Senator
elect Palmer and the regular Democ-
racy are making q serious mistake. The
citizens of Chicago are scarcely enthusi-
astic in their desire to hear from outsid-
ers how to manage their municipal af-
fairs; and even if they put up with a
word or two of advice concerning their
local affairs from a senator of their own
state, it is difficult to see what possible
good can come from any interference by
Wisconsin's governor.
There are five candidates in the field,
and that shows tremendous degree oil
interest, and the people so interested are
not apt to be influenced by the opinions
of outside great men. This is their own
business, and Senator Palmer and Gov
ernor Peck have made a mistake in in
terfering.

The Schema Don't Work.

From the Topeka Journal.
A check for $50 900, portion of Kan
sas share of the money refunded by the
United States on the special state levy
made to assist the government in carry
ing on the war during the rebellion, was
received by the governor yesterday
morning. In some of the states, notably
in New York, the state is refunding the
money pro rata to those who paid the
taxes wherever they can be found.
Certain enterprising old settlers of
Kansas with an eye for the main chance,
had heard of this, and believing them
selves entitled to similar benefits have
applied to the governor for ''divvy."
The records, however, show that
Kansas was more fortunate than the
other states, and that no special levy was
made in this state. There was at that
time, due to Kansas from the federal
government, a large amount of money
on account of certain public lands be-
longing to the state, but disposed of by
the United States. This money was
used out of the national treasury and
credited to Kansas; consequently, the
money now refunded will so to the state

out our people, absorbed all the property
] of the debtor and left him in debt, is
more ruinous to the country as whole
than national bankrupt act and free
silver for a season.
Lastly-The nuts of all this financial
| argument is simply: the people are IN
debt beyond the power Of this genera
| ton to ever pay its interest. The real
demand is freedom of debt. The waves
of returning prosperity will find our
people working, not debating. When we
have no work we debate.
Our contention is that vast uncollect-
able private debt has deprived the people
of the west of hope, ambition and en-
thusiasm; that in the nature Of things
men IAN not, will not, work and earn
money to see it taken from them by
creditors. Having lost all property. they
rebel against mortgage on future earn
ings. The creditor loses nothing, be-
cause he cannot collect anything. He pos
sesses simply the shadow of Judgment
that menaces the debtor class and de-
prives them of the real impetus to labor,
viz: the fruit of labor. In vain we i'm
plored congress for national bankrupt
act; in vain cried for some relief. We
asked for bread, were given stone.
No longer will we bend the pregnant
hinges of the knee;" no longer
implore, appeal, beg. demand, entreat,
cringe-sit quietly by and see the debts
of our people spread desolation until we
are engulfed beyond the power of this
generation to extricate itself, hence the
producers of this country, all united
for a common end, under various
theories, viz: Freedom from debt, are
moving onward The sentiment of the
hymn ''Marseilles" inspires them. Their
purpose, however, is to rebuild and re-
create, not destroy. When fire RACES
in city the general good demands the
destruction of rows of buildings to save
the city. The west is engaged in pulling
down some theories to save the country
as whole. The financial distress of the
west, 1--WE know nothing of the east,
sprouted this germ Of rebellion against
the condition of affairs and gave rise to
many theories, all of which meant, free
dom from debt.
The producers of Kansas in one voice
in different song, sang over our pralries
the first four lines of the MarSellleS:
'Sons Of freedom, wake to glory
Ten thousand myrids bid ye rise,
Your children, wives and grandsires hoary;
Behold their tears, hear their cries"
Again we repeat: Free US from debt
give us cheap money to pay our debts.
We intend to get out of debt.
National bankrupt act and free silver
are our pontoon bridges. When pros
perity returns we will repeal the one and
restrict the other Our remedy is tenn
porary 1t is national (specific) medi-
cine. We Cd claim no more for it.
If this be treason, make the most of it.

Governor Davis, of Rhode Island has
recognized requisition papers from Gov

an official request for the surrender of q
criminal who fled from the latter state.
His decision was made on the ground
that the papers were regular, in due

facie evidence of de facto governor.
Governor Davis is Democrat He ex-
presses his personal opinion that Judge
Morris was elected governor of Connect

papers to decide, for the people and
courts of Connecticut have been unable
as yet to decide for themselves. Gov

An exchange wants to know where
the money is to come from with which
to pay the sums appropriated by the
Fifty first congress, which amount to s.
per capita of population in the country,
when the aggregate amount in circula-
ton is only S497 per capita? 1t would
seem to be an undemonstrable problem,
but it will do no good to worry over it,

will do like the folks at Leavenworth
