The latest candidate for ingalls, seat
in the senate is Jerry Simpson, ''the
sockless statesman" Jerry is popular
with the farmers on account of his con-
tempt fcr socks, ''biied shirts, collars
etc., which he looks down upon as mere
unnecessary and showy adornments OF
the human frame. His exposure of
his sockless ankles on the stump during
the late campain secured his election
to congress, and he expects to 60 be-
fore the legislature with strong sup
port. With a candidate in the field
who never wears socks, the contest at
Topeka will be watched With anxiety
by the high toned and aristocratic SEN
ators, among whom the gentleman
would be as unwelcomc as bull in
china shop. The gentlemen OF the
senate not only wear socks, but as
general thing silk socks, AMI the effect
of thrusting this uncouth nondescript
from the wilds of Kansas among them
can be but family imagined. The
first sight OF his sockless ankles stretch
ed in rustic awkwardness across his
desk would throw the senate into a pan
lc.-Chicago Herald.
We believe that there are now two
gentlemen from the 'wilds Of Kansas
in the senate, and if by any good fort
une Jerry should succeed one Of them
the senators will have enough to do in
watching his head, and will forget that
he is the possessor Of feet. The pan
lc will be among his opponents who are
upbuiIding monopolies, which Jerry is
determined to kick over, who are tram
pling under their silken hoofs the rights
Of the people, who are making sport OF
the nobility Of honest labor. And, be
it remembered, Jerry will be there, clad
as he has ever been, neatly and we'll !;
clothed in a mantle of righteousness S
and good will toward men. Such are
the denizens of the 'wilds of Kansas"

The Indian troubles in the northwest
have, in the past week. come to crisis
and every indication points to big
battle. The savages have become
more sullen ana iutractable as the days
20 BY, until they have made stand in
the Bad Lands Army officers are ap-
prehensive of an attack at any time,
and are thoroughly prepared for the
worst. There are now in the Bad Lands
some 5000 warriors, while the Govern
ment forces a,e in the neighborhood of
10000, though if a battle occurred all
of this number could not be brought in
to action as there are so many points
to guard the troops are necessarily d.
.vlded. There is little fear of a massa-
ere occurring unless i, be at Standing
Rock agency, which will probably be
the attacking point Of the hostiIes. The
latest dispatches indicate that battle
will occur before another week has
Fesed away.

STATE UNIFORMITY.

From The Western School Journal
State uniformity, either by contract
or publication, Is and has been in the
air. A state uniformity resolution ian
be found in the peoples party platform
and one substantially the same in the
republican platform. Resolutions pass
ed by two great parties are worthy re-
spect and earnest consideration. We
have unwavering faith in the average
judgment Of the people, when that
Judgment is based on correct informa-
ton, and a clear conception of facts.
But in regard to state publication and
the cost of textbooks, there are the
most erroneous statements afoat. and
the widest assertions are made. On
the street, few days ago a friend,
talking on the subject, told us-and he
was sincere in his belief-that the state
of Minnesota had saved four millions
of dollars since the law went into effect.
He looked astouished and skeptical
when he was Informed that four mill
ions of dollars would pay the annual
textbook bill of the United States, and
all the Territories, including Alaska.
In public discussion a short time ago
speaker said state uniformity was
worth millions OF dollars to Indiana;
and yet it is fact that the entire text
book bill of Indiana cannot be more
than $l50,0O0 per annum. We have
heard it asserted that, we're Kansas to
adopt state uniformity, millions of dol
lars would be saved; and yet it can be
proved to the satisfaction of anybody
who will patiently listen and study, that
the annual textbook bill of the state
of Kansas cannot he more than 500,
600 year. The entire cost Of the !
textbooks used in the city Of St. Louis
having population of more than 400
600, was. for the year ending July /,
1890, but $50, 995.4s. It is assumed

that he was willing to pay $4,000 for

child Of school age in the State buys
| new set of books every year. That
this is not true, every parent knows
from his own exreriea'e. Nor can the
school the schoo! population at any
time be taken as basis for estimates,
because thousands Of children pass out
of school years before they reach the
age of twenty -ore. and in some cities
no children under seven years of age are
enrolled.
We oppose State Uniformity because
it stops all competition in the making
Of books. The excellence Of the text
books now in use could not have been
attained under State Uniformity laws.
The teacher who studies but one histo
ry, one arithmetic, one grammar, is
narrow minded, dogmatical, one e-sided
creature, and the children who are com

We oppose State Uniformity because
it establishes gigantic monopoly in

and child In the commonwealth, you
must use these books or none. You
may prefer others, but the books furn-
ished by the state you must buy, an1
in them xclusively, your children must

In Minnesota, where state uniform
ity Is the law, there is constant re-
bellion because of the tyranical restric-
tions of the law; and We arc Informed
on the best authority, that many dis
tricts refuse to buy the books.
We are opposed to State publication
of text books (and it should be kept in
mind that this is distinct issue from
State Uniformity for the reasons al
ready given, aud because the books can
be bought at cheaper rates from private
publishers. California is the only state
in the Union which has tried the pub
lication plan, and she has bought her
book making experience at costly
rate. Before the law was adopted in
California, the same reckless assertions
which are now filling the Kansas atmos
phere, were made, and there were the
same promises of cheaper books. The
State of California has already expend-
ed between seven and eight hundred
thousand dollars in the publication of
text books the end is not yet

are paying for every text book used in

publication act was before the Califor-
MIA Legislature. the State Printer made
report to the Legislature, in which
he made the astonishing assertion that
books equal to the best in use would,
if published by the State, be sold as
