THE ROAD TO WEALTH.

The Salna Republican argues that the
chief cause of the trouble the country
has endured as to business depression
and industrial stagnation the past year
or two. is the result of the inordinate
greed for gain almost universally pre-
valent among the people. Applying the
lesson to Kansas, the Republican offers
some sensible suggestions III the follow
ing excerpt from its article.
1--WE have in Kansas one of the great
est countries on the earth. In order to
utilize its wonderful resources we must
exercise common sense and ordinary
business Judgment; we must study in
diligently the natural conditions. climate
ETC., be able to utilize every advantage
and guard against adverse clrcum-
stances. The road to wealth is as plain
and as easily travelled in Kansas today as
it ever was, and under the present con-
ditions and those which have prevailed
for the last five years, if the advantages
if industry had been properly utilized
and all ideas of speculation dismissed,
Kansas would have been far more
wealthy than she is today. When we

it was rushed upon the marle, at 10 and
45 cents and corn at 10 cents per
bushel. Within year the same article
was selling in the same market for 90
and 80 cents per bushel ard many of the
same men who had rushed their products
upon the market at the unnaturally low
price were either buying at the advanced
price or if they had to sell were holding
what they had for still more. Last year
the market for the products of the farm
was strong. There was a fine profit in
selling the grain at the price that pre-
vailed. A great many held their grain
for still higher prices though the prices
were as high then as they ought to run,
but the spirit of speculation possessed
them and they refused to take the fair
prices offered and as a result they are
now marketing wheat for GO cents for
which they were offered 80 cents nine
months ago. y few such experiences
will set men to thinking and when they
exercise judgment based upon experience
of the past, the farmers of Kansas and
the merchants as well, will accumulate
fortunes and the state will acquire a
fabulous wealth"

A DAILY ANNIVERSARY.
The Device by Which q Washington Wife
Keeps Her Husband Home.

The wife of young attorney in
Washington, very charming woman,
loves her husband dearly, and the same
may be said of his feelings for her.
Still, he cannot help being annoyed oc-
casionally at her freaks. They hadn't
been married week before she began
to develop anniversary tendencies II
was five days and six hours or
"seven days and ten minutes" since they
were married. That went fairly well
during the wedding journey stage, says
the Post, but it was kept up wonder
fully, till she would say: 1T is a year,
one month, three days and four hours
since we were married" These attacks
of preciseness occurred whenever
George showed symptoms Of going to
his club, or when any of his friends
called on him to go out with them.
After baby was born there came new
anniversaries to celebrate. Baby's teeth,
babys walls and baby's first lisps be-
came important dates. All the old an
niversaries were kept, however, just the
same, and now the young husband
stays home every night in the week to
keep anniversaries. She has four TO
some days, and if she thinks he is rest
less and meditating an escape, when
emergencies arise and he is tempted to
go to the theater with any Of his old
chums, that ingenious young wife can
count up so many anniversaries that
nobody would ever dare to suggest
George going anywhere. Indeed, 1t has
come to such pass that the boys ask
George to go somewhere, simply to hear
him say: II can't. / must go home.
We've been married exactly three years,
five months, three weeks and four days
to-day. I've got 10 keep the anniver-
sary." She gives George just one night
off in year, and thinks she does won
ders when she does that, and George
ought to offer thanks for the rest of the
year that he had that one night. Then
he goes to class reunion, George does.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE ARGUMENT.


The United States governments year
ends June 80, instead OF December 81.
The fiscal year is, therefore, justly ended,
1t is the first full year OF the Mckinly
la WIS operation. 1t is the best year the
government has ever lad. In the vol
ume of exports it has never been ap-
preached before. The proportion of free
imports has been greater than ever be-
fore. Every Democratic prediction with
regard to the operation of the new tariff
law has been disproved by experience.
The New York Press epitomizes the
years busin ess with this wonderful state
ment:
"An interesting comparison between
the Cleveland and Harrison adminlstra-
tons is found in the fact that while MIR.
Cleveland was president the balance OF
trade in favor of the United States stead
lily declined for four years, and that since
General Harrison'S first year it has stead
lily risen. Thus, the last year of President
Cleveland's term we bought OF other
nations S28, 002 607 worth of merchandise
more than we sold, while in the last year
of President Harrison'S term we have
sold to other nations just S202, 944, 342
worth of merchandise more than we have
bought. No comparison could be more
striking or potent as a Republican argu-
ment"

JERRY's DOUBLE DEALING.

Some one returns US in q letter an edl-
torial in the EAGLE in which we de-
nounced the methods by which the
Cherokee outlet had been kept out Of the
hands Of settlers, and attached to the
editorial report of Jerry Simpsons
eleventh hour speech. Anything that
the EAGLE might say would have little
weight with Jerry's worshippers and adj
mirers, but to prove that our accusations
against that gentlemen were correct we
quote an interview of Congressman
Clover who is not only an Alliance man
but a colleague Of Simpsons. Clover
said:
That effort Simpson made in the
house the other day was plainly bum
combe and shows on its face that he
meant to defeat the opening of the strip.
In his speech wanting the house to be
given a day for the consideration OF the
bill he denounced the Democrats ana
also denounced the Republicans. This
he did to prejudice the entire house
against the cause he pretended to favor.
1t is an outrage that the people OF the
