Attorney General Miller's opinions on
the publication of the Louisiana state lot
tery advertisements and their exclusion
from the mails are all very well from
the standpoint that the attorney generals
duty is to defend our laws. 1t is a
matter of general concession that gamb-
ling is out of the pale of morality, but
there are a great people in this country
who believe that in the applications of
legal moral additions, our national con-
gress had better mend its pace.

wild Life Near The metropolis.

Within thirty miles Of New York in the
mountains Of Rocklsnd county Is wilder
life than can be found in most states west
of the Mississippi There are settlements
of charcoal burners and colonies Of Indians
and negroes Of mixed blood that It would
not be safe 70 visit wi bout a guide. In
the woods west OF the ilisge Of Rsnapo,
through which Washington cut military
road during the Revolution, Is settlement
in which the people show evidences Of mix

Commend US to the westerner for en-
terprise not only but for ingenuity of the
''get there" variety.as well. S. c. Rees,
a western mining man, has a scheme by
which he proposes to revolutionize min
ing and acquire considerable wealth.
Instead of delving down into the earth
for precious metals, he is going mining
in balloon. IAlong the precipitous sides
of the deep canyons in the Rockies are
many lodges which are known to be
exceedingly rich with ore, but which are
inaccessible on account of the immense
height and sheer sides of the cliffs. Mr..
Rees intends to reach these lodges in a
balloon. He will anchor his large bal
loon to the bottom of the canyon with
long ropes, and ascend to the point of
wall of the canyon where the ledge is.
Then foothold will be worked into the
ledge from the balloon, and the mining
begun from that point.

Secretary Foster says there seems to
be a determination on the part of certain
parties to insist upon the bankruptcy of
the treasury" The secretary is no
doubt correct, but he is not wholly with
out blame, Tor 1t cannot be denied that
ais volubility in talking about matters
Of receipts and expenditures and cash on
hand and treasury reserves, etc, etc.
has had the effect to cause more or les
general apprehension Of deficit. In

be that the secretary talks too much.

ments they are accepted as correct rep

dition, and are. or should be, so plain
that no explanation would be necessary.

The Result Of Reckless waste:

From the Philadelphia Record.
The floods which are devastating Cen
trail Spain must have been of an APP
palling character. 1t is said that 1900
people have already persisted. The fact
that the mountains in the region In
question have of late years been almost
entirely stripped of the forests with
which they were once densely covered
may partly explain the severity of the
present visitation. Other European
countries have also paid dearly for their
reckless waste of woodland.

''Let me tell you, yelled His Whiskers
to the brethren in the city park on the
10th, "the farmers of Kansas have paid
in the last ten years. on their mortgaged
and other Indebtedness, interest amount
ing to more than double the amount
raised on and realized from their farms.
More than that, the money now in cir
culation only amounts to u cents per
day per capita, and the taxes have to be
paid out of that. Well, suppose all of
that is literally true: who is to blame for
it? Would he have his hearers believe
that the money loauers hunted down the
Kansas farmers and compelled them to
borrow their money? Or that the debt
ors have not had the use and benefit of
the money, without which they could
not have secured and improved their
farms, provided themselves with imple-
ments and live stock and thus placed
themselves in condition to not only re-
pay the borrowed money, but in many
instances to become lenders themselves?
Such statements are simply appeals to
prejudice. not reason.

A PLAN AGREED UPON.
Minnesots Worlds Fair Commissioners
Hold an Important Meeting.

Minnesota Worlds Fair commissioners
Hold an Important Meeting.
ST. PAUL, Sept. IA meeting OF the
Minnesota State Worlds Fair commits
sion was held at the governors office in
the capitol building. President ID. "A.
Monfort presided, and all the members
were present except NJ. B. Harrison of
Duluth and Secretary Reeve, who is at
present ON a trip through the North
west. There existed unanimity OF
opinion that it would be impossible for
the state to make an exhibit worthy of
its greatness without at least 100000 in
addition to the $4,000 appropriated by
the Legislature. This being agreed up
on, the first problem that faced the COM
mission was the ways and means OF
raising the desired amount. The greater
part of the session was consumed IN
discussing this question. All Idea or
attempting to have an extra session or
the legislature called for the purpose OF
appropriating the necessary money was
abandoned. 1t was decided to issue an
appeal to counties of the state, through
the public press, asking them to yolun-
tarily contribute the amount, on the
basis of the assessed valuation of the
property as returned by the assessors in
1890. 1t was thought that when it came
to be appreciated that the assessment of
only II of mill on each $1O0 would be
sufficient to furnish all that was asked,
it could be secured by unity of action.
Of the amount required the two large
cities of the state would, under this
plan, contribute nearly one-half or $46,-
900, and the balance could easily be
raised by the counties in this year of
bounteous harvests.
Nothing was heard Of any member of
the commission resigning, and they all
seemed enthusiastic in their hopes of
making the Minnesota exhibit credit
able one. A prominent member of the
commission denied that any such action
was contemplated by any one, although
they all served without pay, and from
purely patriotic motives. ::
The commission adjourned at ? p. m,
subject to the call of the president.

America the Promised Land.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Hirsch fund,
according to a Ham burg correspondent,
is now aiding only those Jews who de-
sire to emigrate to the United States.
In response to positive representations
from the British cabinet, Baron Hirsch
is said to have given an eng agement
that no Russian Jews would be sent to
any country under the British flag.
There is no denial here, writes the Ham
burg correspondent of the intention to
make the United States the future home
of the Jews. None of the Jews have con-
fidence in any other destination, and
they all expect to get rich in America.

FARM MORTGAGES.
Number of Releases in Kansas During

Number of Releases in Kansas During
the Past Four Months Remarkable.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 13.-The releases
of farm mortgages in Kansas during the
four months preceding the 1st of Sep
tember make a remarkable showing.
The total mortgages recorded during
the period in fifty-four counties are ST.
6S3, ,sO5; released, $6,370,2 ,27O; excess of
releases, 81, ,6S6, ,465, or s64 per cent. At
the same ratio the gain would be in ex-
cess of $5,OOO.OOO for the year, and for
the seventy-four counties east of the
Tooth meridian it would be $1,000, 900.
Very little of this excess in releases
comes from the sale of this years crops,
so that the total will probably reach
$4,000, 900 for the present year.
