Kate Santley and her fascinating
soubrettes have been cutting a wide
swath in Berlin and have finally moved
into a very lively hornets nest. 1t
seems that the young kaiser became
smitten with the charms of one Of the
pretty burlesquers and was giving sub
rosa petit soupers in her honor, which
fact having reached the ears of the
kaiserine caused kick from that side
OF the imperial household. At any
rate the kaiser has suddenly grown
exceedingly prude and has publicly ex-
pressed his disapproval of the loud in
operate art. and the kaiserine feels
better now.

MUTUAL RECALCITRANCE

1t is not strange that the farmers Of
this country are making a kick, the
trouble is they are kicking in the
wrong way, and in what will prove an
ineffective way so far as the remedy
ing of their joint complaints are con-
cerned. They are seeking redress
through politics when they should seek
il through commerce, and all the other
business people Of the country have as
just rights Of complaint against the
financial affairs Of the country, not as
conducted by the administration of
the government under Republican
rule, but by the money friends of
Wall street and elsewhere, who, for
their own purposes, sometimes as bulls
and sometimes as bears, manipulated
the money OF the country to make
money and other property for them
selves, regardless of the distress
created in business throughout the
country. This land was never so ma
turally prosperous as it is today. Its
crops are and have been excellent. and
here in the West, especially in Wash
ington, there are endless and opulent
resources; groaning in sore travail for
development. There are mines that
should be giving a vast output that
are doing nothing. Saw-mills, with
timber at their very log-ways almost
doing nothing, material for ineffable
manufactures lying dormant, men
standing all the day idle, bust
ness generally depressed, and
all this bcause of the scarcity
Of money occasioned largely bya finan-
cial crissis in a far Off South Ameri- |
can, one-horse republic, in which |
Barring Brothers became involved and, |
through them, Wall street and some
other financial centers.
The people could take hold of these
matters and put an end to them, by |
putting an end to Wall street through
the general boycott that such an ilk
deserves, and by sending men to con-
gress through the Republican party,
pledged to a supply, to the country, of
money in unlimited quantities. The
people can do this with their own
voices, for "vox populi est vox Del"
and the voice of God is omnipotent.
The country wants money and
plenty Of il, and then the money
fiends will not be able to corner it.
and misers viii find no satisfaction in
boarding it. 1t is a mistaken idea
that money is jewel. It's real and
natural use is, or ought to be, simply
currency and handy means OF barter
and trade. Wealth should, and really
does, lie in productive property. II
nothing were produced, money would
be utterly worthless, because it could
buy nothing and one could not eat it,
or clothe himself with it. Let the
people have money for its naturally
and legitimate use, the lubricating
Of the wheels OF commerce and the
wheels will go and everybody will
prosper who deserves to prosper. As
to the matter of the farmers, those of
Kansas were right last year when they
talked of, and indeed began taking
steps to prevent the listing of their
growing crops for the benefit of the
chambers of commerce" and such
ike affairs in Chicago and New York.

Ing thousands and buying thousands
OF bushels Of grain, who actually Dor
rowed in two minutes afterwards or
bad borrowed thirty minutes before,
from as poor man as the editor of
country newspaper, money enough to
buy a square meal, and the closer
boards or those wherein seats must be
purchased at a high price and where
the buyers and sellers are no better,
further than that they were not
pushed for the purchase of a meal.
All, however, operated on the same
plan and bought and sold what they
didn' own, but which was the result
OF the farmers energy and industry;
the sweat of his brow, the fertility of
the soil that he owned. They all stood
or sat, and yet stand and sit, and act
lie, in the cool shade, or in the com
Portable warmth of their "cham-
bers of commerce." "Open boards"
and the like and make
the markets for the men who raise
the grain and other stuff The listing
by so-called agricultural societies, is
largely fraud and an outrage, and
it would be benefit to farmers if it
were hindered in a measure, or, that
is to say, controlled for legitimate
ends. What good has ever been ac-
complished by the course pursued, as
mentioned above, has not appeared on
the surface, and if any good has re-
suited it has been burned too deeply
for the comprehension of outsiders.
In market circles estimate follows
estimate in quick succession, each
varying from the other. Sometimes
it is up and sometimes down. An
exact reproduction of these reports
can be seen in the fluctuating markets.
Sometimes the bulls are in full pos
session. and then in comes another
estimate" and knocks them out and
the bears rule in their stead. The
secretaries Of agricultural societies
make long tours and report. Then
comes a week Of dry weather or rain,
necessitating another tour, another
heavy expense to the state, and what
possible benefit accrues to the raiser
Of the wheat, corn and oats?
There is too much specializing on
growing crops, too many opportuni-
Ties afforded for men to gamble on the
product of the soil, and thus in adj
vance regulate the prices. OF course,
estimates carefully made
are all right. Any farmer likes to
read about his neighbours prospects,
but the way the business is now car
ried on rObs it of all reliability and |
makes il almost a common nuisance.
What is wanted is reports that do re-
port, estimates that are based on
facts and not on the sensational ideas
of few men actuated by the sole pur-
pose OF creating a stir on Change. 1t
is safe to say that more lying is done
in the name Of the crops of the coun-
try than in any other thing. Tho e
who presume to report should get
closer down to the ground and know
more whereof they speak. A week
ago Secretary Mohler estimated
bushels of wheat in Kansas,
and now he estimates only 10000 900.
The result is those having old crops to
sell are at the mercy of a fuctuating
market, a market variable because of
the reports received from agricultural
societies.

heads did all the same. Mr.. Nicklin

however, that somewhere in the city
