LEGISLATIVE DISHONESTY.

The dominant party in the Kansas
legislature have already introduced bill
prohibiting special gold coin contracts,
such as our Oregon laws authorize. The
bill is aimed at the clause inserted in
promissory notes making them payable
in Omitted States gold coin.N This GUS
tom seems to have, heretofore, been
limited to the Pacific coast states, but to
have lately commended itself to eastern
money-lenders, in view of the possibility
ofsuch financial legislation, now SO loudly
demanded, as might result in depreciat-
ing any one species of our national cur
rency. Nohonest, fairminded man could
consistently vote for such measure.
Its intention and design are open to very
grave objection on the grounds of common
honesty. All money contracts now in
existence were made upon gold basis !;
that is to say, all loans were made in
gold coin or its equivalent. 1t is nothing
less than fair that these loans should be
paid in currency of like standard value
If free coinage of silver or the SUBJ
treasury scheme should be adopted, and,
as many believe, should result in a
deprecated silver and paper currency,
the debtor who borrowed hundred
dollars in gold coin might pay his debt
with seventv-five dollars in deprecated
silver or paper. 1t is true no such. de-
probation might occur; but the past
history of all similar measures of infla-
ton make it extremely probable. Be
this as it may the action of the dominant
party in the Kansas legislature, is still
open to grave objection. The possibility
of deprecated currency, made legal
tender for the payment of all debts,
should deter a yourg party, lately glutted
with victory and now upon the very
crest of the wave of popular opinion,
from conniving at any measure, open to
question on the ground of common
honesty, between man and man. If the
measure should become law, and the
farmers alliance should enter the list
with candidate for the presidency, the
party will have immense difficulty. dur
ing the campaign, in defending a meas
ure, whose passage was made possible
by their ascendancy 1t will not do to
say that the money-lenders have op-
pressed and cobbed them. All this NAV
be true, and we believe it is; but the
average mind is honest and the majority
will hold, in spite of all that can be said.

PARNELL ON TOP.

In spite the results that follow the ex-
posure of the relations existing between
himself and Mrs. Oshea, Parnell is
again on top and has every prospect in
the world for staying there The effects
OF Gladstone's reputation of the great
Irish leader seems to have, to large ex-
tent, died away, while the denunciation
~of the Catholic hierarchy has only tended
TO prove the stronghold he still has on
the affections of the Irish people. The
McCarthyites are thoroughly demoral-
lzed, and only the other day, the lord
mayor of London and the high sheriff
OF Dublin consented to become treasur-
ers OF the Parnellite campaign fund.
Late dispatches inform us that O'Connor.
Kelly, Redmond and Harrison, all tried
adherents of Parnell, and all excepting
Harrison, trusted nationalists were ap-
pointed to leave for the United States.
yesterday to labor in Parnell's interest.
They have already received cable assur-
ances of warm and widespread support
among American compatriots. The Nc
Carthyites had arranged to send Abra-
ham, Kenny and Flynn Co act with
O'Connor, but Abraham refused, Kenny
and Flynn were superseded and T. p.
O'Connor t'packed up his traps to come
home" Mr.. Fox alone comes to this
country to represent the waning fortunes
of the McCarthyites, whose English
friends are beginning to despair of their
ability to make headway against the
vigor of the Parnellites.. If we do not
mistake the temper of the Irish Ameri-
cans. We predict cordial reception for
the Parnellite delegation.

THE FARMERS, 1LLIANCE.

Reports from all over the country in
forms US that the farmers alliance, folks
are as busy as bees, organizing new
alliances, and getting ready for cam
paign work. There is no question that
the alliance means business, and that
the work of organizing is, everywhere,
meeting with remarkable success. What
the ultimate results of this movement
may be, is hard to tell. One thing is
clear; the old parties are scared and
badly so. Neither of them can reckon
any more, that because their candi-
date is republican or dem
ocrat, in a district where they
always had a majority, he will therefore
be elected. The trend of political action
is in favor of men and not party. In
this respect the farmers alliance move
ment is a healthy one. If they cannot
always elect good men they have the
power to defeat the election of bad ones,
and the old parties will be careful not
to put up man for office, whose charac-
ter will not endure the light under the
rigid scrutiny of this. young political
argus. ftt

THE BEST COUNTRY on EARTH.

During the month of February last
1000 emigrants left Great Britain. OF
this number 10000 came to the United
States. Of the rest Australia got the
largest number, while Canada came
after Australia. Complaints are made
that the attempts of the British and
Canadian governments to induce immi-
grafton to new territories in Canada
have resulted in almost complete failure.
By far the largest number prefer the
United States, and if assisted, or other
wise induced TO go to Canada, after they
spend one winter there they desert for
this country. From all this it follows,
Il at in the mind of the average British
emigrant, there is no place in the broad
earth, for poor man, like the United

At the recent anniversary of the society

gave partial report of crimes arising
from gambling in this country in 1885,
We give facts which produced an impress
sion Of terror like hideous nightmare
One hundred and twenty EIGHT persons
were either shot or stabbed over gambling
games. Four were stabbed and five shot
at poker. Twelve stabbed and twenty
four shot over the game of craps
Twenty-eight were stabbed and fifty-ffve
were shot over the gaming table or

these, six attempted and twenty four
committed suicide, and sixty. persons
were murdered in cold blood. while two
were driven insane. weight youth
and persons have been ruined by pool
gambling and betting upon horse racing
Two burglaries, eighteen forgeries and
eighty-five embezzlements were COM
mitted to get money to gamble with, and
tbirty-two persons holding positions of
trust in banks and other places of mer-
chantile life absconded.
The enormous sum of s., 1896, 1872 is
shown by this same record as the pro-
ceeds of these embezzlements and defal-
cations. To these crimes must be added
the long list of thefts, robberies, embez-
elements, larcenies and defalcations
which are never known except to the
immediate friends or persons especially
interested.

PRINCESS JOSEPHINE II. = =
Observe the long, straight back, the
deep body and general look of fat beef

Queen Victoria is much interested in
farm animals, and manages so often to
carry off agricultural and live stock
prizes that some of her dutiful subjects
think, considering how rich she is, she
should leave some of the plums to them
in the way of premiums. Her animals
are generally known, and on the prin-
ciple that it is good policy to laugh at the
emperor's jokes, the judges send the
prizes her way very often.
Unfortunately Josephine took cold
and died just before she was to be butch
cred, go that after all nobody got taste
of royalty's beef.
A beef shrinks in weight at first when
it is put into the stable to be fattened,
and must be fed month before it shows
decided gain.

Tired of Farm Life.

From the Johnstown Democrat
On Tuesday young girl arrived in this
city from the neighborhood of Somerset.
She was but fifteen years old and had been
enticed away from her home on farm in
Somerset county to come to this city by a
married man whom II is said furnished the
money for the girl TO come with. Tuesday
evening she fell in with two young Johns
town girls who are little reckless as 20 the
company they keep. and in short time
the girls were picked up on the street by
some young fellows who escorted them into
one of our drinking places where they were
in short time very much intoxicated The
girls were then taken to an Italian boarding
house on Iron street, where they remained
all night The father Of the country girl
came to the city yesterday in search of his
daughter and put the police or her track.
The officers made search for her and called
at the Italian boarding house or shack
and were told by the Italian men present
that there were not any girls there The
officers entered the house, however, and
found the three young girls in an upstairs
bedroom. The one they were in search OF
was taken to the Central Station. Her father
was sent for and when he called to see his
wayward child she refused 10 return home
with him, saying that she was not treated
well at home. She was left in eel at the
station house until after noon, and after
several gentlemen bad become interested in
the young girls case and talked to her kind
ly, she at last consented to return home with
her father if he would call for her.
