VilIainous Steamship Agents.

A Polish newspaper recently con-
tanned an advertisement stating that
three hundred thousand workmen were
wanted Immediately at Chicago to COM
plete the buildings for the worlds fair.
Similar notices, it is stated, have been
published in other European countries.
They originate with the agents Of the
steamship companies and are to encour-
age emigration These agents have a
direct money benefit in every emigrant
who buys passage across the Atlantic.
While the advertisement was running
in the foreign papers Chicago was
crowded with laboring men unable to
obtain work. Thousands had already
rushed to that city. The result was
that the labor market was glutted and
the charitable societies were compelled
to extend aid to the hungry.
It is not only the deluded people of
foreign countries who suffer, says the
Iowa State Register. The American
workingman is the real sufferer. The
foreigner comes here from the poorer
districts of Europe and life in this coun-
try at its worst is an improvement over
his condition in the old country. He
has been used to scanty food and scan
tier clothing. But how is it with the
American laboringman? He has had at
least few of the comforts of life. His
wife and little ones in the home nest
have been kept warm, and the older
children have been in the public schools.
It is this workingman and his American
family who suffer most through the
competition Of the hordes of ignorant
laboringmen who are coming across the
Atlantic in response to the advertise
ments and glowing descriptions of these
agents of foreign steamship lines. A
convict's moose would not be punish.
ment too severe for the agents who are
to blame for the Cutting of the market
of American labor.

Outraefns the Public.

The death of q dime museum 'freak"
occurred recently at St Louis hos
pital, from Inflammation of the bowels.
caused by eating nails, tacks, glass and
other hardware, with which his stomlr
ach is said to have been lined Ths
death of this poor victim Of his own
folly and a degraded public taste brings
up the question whether it isn't time
that we had some strict prohibitive leg
islation on the freak question The dime
museums, sides hows, chambers OF hor-
rors, etc, found in all our cities and at
the county and state fairs, have ALSO
lutely nothing to recommend them.
They are in no sense educational, and
do not even amuse in any true sense
Of the word They merely pander to
that debased and degraded curiosity
which runs and gazes with bullying eyes
at every disgusting and horrifying acct
dent, and gathers in crowds about the
monstrosities which disease and unna-
ture have made possible in the world.
Such sights and the cultivation Of
this kind of curiosity, justly remarks
the Farm, Field and Stockman, do much
more than debase the public taste. They
create morbid desire for unhealthy ex-
element, that grows more exacting and
more brutal with every fresh sight. I"
It is this desire that requires columns Of
sickening details of every murder, sui
eide or railroad accident, familiarizing
the public with thoughts which healthy
minds never ought to entertain, and
tending to the commission of similar
crimes on the part of the readers. This
is especially true of the young, and, If
a law prohibiting the exhibition of
monstrosities is too much to be hoped
for, can we not at least work for po-
lice regulation restricting the sale of
tickets so as to exclude all children of
school age?

Tranquility Of Electricity.

There is an active debate in progress
among scientific scholars on the ques-
ton whether there is after all such a
thing as electricity-using the word
''thing'' as implying a material entity
or whether it is merely an effect, or. to
speak more technically, mode Of mo-
ton. If the latter theory is accepted
by the scientific world as correct, says
the Mechanical News, electricity will
still be in very respectable company;
for both heat and light have gone that
way before. Not very long ago they
were supposed. even by philosophers, to
be actual substances, not exactly tangi-
BILE or ponderable, but still having a
positive material existence, and liable
some day to be weighed. and measured,
manipulated and transported ike any
other commodities Practically, of
course, this is done when ton of coal
or pound of candles changes hands.
But in any of these cases it is only the
vehicle or agent which is visibly dealt
in; and it will only be by figure of
speech that we shall ever ask for hun
dred weight of heat, or gallon of
light The analogies of the case seem
to point to the same conclusion as re-
CARDS electricity. What goes by the
name of electricity may be generated
and stored, and it is so treated for a
multitude of familiar uses; but only, in
this view of the case, as light is stored in
a gas tank or warmth in cord of wood
Possibly the question is not of much
save as topic of abstract con-
troversy. but speculative inquiries such
as this have often led and will in many
future instances lead to results of vast
practical usefulness to mankind

TINS is the greatest voting nation on
the earth. There are more Americans
who vote than the voters of any other
country; they vote more frequently,
and elect by popular suffrage larger
proportion Of their public officers. In
1888 nearly eleven million four hun
dred thousand citizens voted for presi-
dent This year the total viii not be
less than thirteen millions Whence
comes this increase Of more than q mil
lion and half votes? From the poo
pie OF six new states; from the newly
naturalized immigrants; from q million
young men who will for the first time
record their preferences in q national

WESTERN KANSAS has no boom this
season, not even a boomlet, but more
bushels of grain will be harvested, more
acres of sod turned over and put in Guilt
walton, more material, permanent i'm
provements will be made than ever before
The old settlers are satisfied to remain;
those who left in search of better place
are returning and new ones from the
crowded east are coming in. The popula-
ton of Trego county will double in less
than five years and all the counties in the
western fourth of Kansas will increase in
population in the same ratio.

The republican convention on Saturday
last was composed of many of the best
farmers and business men of the county,
nearly every township being represented.
Delegates were elected to the various
state and district conventions. All 60
uninstructed, though it is understood
that majority of the Topeka delegation
is favorable to Morll for governor. The
Colby decoration will present the name of
Nj. G. Reville for congressman from the
sixth district. Our honored townsman
stands well thro lghout the district and
has very favorable show for the nominal
ton. in which case he would certainly
sweep the boards in November: He has
always been faithful worker for the
party, freely giving his services when
ever called upon; and in ability is the
peer of any man before the public.

ACCORDING to a St. Louis lawyer burg
larry cannot be committed in the day
time. The English rule is that if there
is light enough to see the face of the in.
truder there is no burglary. This, how.
ever, does not include moonlight, for q
housebreaker entering after nightfall,
however brightly the moon may be
shining, is legally burglar-that is,
1t it is reasonably certain that he has
entered with the intent to commit
felony-for, while tramp breaking
into house to sleep may be a house
breaker, he is not, in the proper sense
OF the word, a burglar. Burglary, how
ever, may consist in breaking out as
well as breaking in, for one who hides
in house before nightfan to steal and
after stealing breaks out to get away is
just as much a burglar as he who. to
effect his purpose, breaks in.

SOME of our alliance friends have
found fault with us because we have ex-
pressed the opinion that the South would
not discard their political views for the
alliance or peoples party. If any further
evidence is needed of the correctness
OF our views upon this subject we might
call attention to the action of the alliance
conference recently held in Birmingham,
Alabama. Sentiment there was quite
strong against any interference with u
members right to vote the democratic
ticket If he wanted to. The result of the
conference was an address by the presi-
dents and executives Of Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Texas, Louisiana,
Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
and Florida, together with members of
the national executive committee and
President Polk. A portion Of the address
was as follows: Every member who takes
the obligation always administered to
those who join is first told as q condition
precedent, and upon which all that Is to
follow is predicated: THAT it shall in no
way Interfere Will your pOutiCdA VI
religious liberty" Therefore this order
as such or any Of it's branches, has no
right to take any partisan, political or
sectarian religious action" And yet
there will doubtless be found some who
will still insist that the alliance or peo-
pies party will carry portion OF the
South at the coming election and will
still insist that it is not democratic
annex. We believe that it was conceived
by President Polk and other democrats
for the sole purpose Of weakening the re-
publican party. We know it can have no
other effect, and wonder how long those
Who Joined the order with good motives
win allow themselves to be deluded and
deceived?

The Hill City advocate has the follow
ing to say with reference to the peoples
party and fusion. The Advocate, as you
will observe, is an exponent Of the
doctrines advocated by the peoples party:
at will be noticed that the national COM
mittee denounces every individual favor
ing such fusion; and let it be understood
that we utterly denounce such individ-
uals either as traitors to our interests or
so weak minded as to be utterly unworthy
of recognition. We believe the fusion
would be fatal blow to our interests as
a party. We have declared our independ-
ence of the old schemers and the country
may depend upon it that our practice will
correspond with oul theory"

woman of twenty-five. At the altar,
however, the aged groom's daughter

the minister refused to proceed any fur

theless the House Naval committee
has reported a naval appropriation
bill which is less by $3,467,S16 than
the official estimates of the needs Of
the department. The bill authorizes
the construction of a new vessel Of
the type of the New York, but no
other, although naval officials are uni
ted in the recommendation that sever.

and power should be Immediately be.
