READING FOR THE YOUNG,

Kansas City KAN Gazette: A few
years ago professor connected with the
public schools of Kansas City made an
investigation with regard to the reading
matter of school children in that city.
His Investigations extended over per-
iod of eight months, and in that time he
examined nearly 5000 school children.
Out of this number he found that nearly
soc were in the habit of reading flashy
papers published in New York. They
gave as a reason for reading one of these
papers that there were slots about fights
and killing in it.
The reading of current literature in
the public schools has been adopted in
some places in lieu of text books as
reading exercises. and with good effect
Newspapers and magazines not only
afford pleasing variety of reading mat
ter but the subject matter OF carefully
edited period Gals contains valuable in
formation for the young; SO that while
getting practice, the training, at read
ing they also get information on cur
rent topics that they cannot get from
any other source. And furthermore it
stimulates thirst for wholesome read
ing. Only the instructors want to be
very careful in selecting such extra mat
ter for the chidren's reading.

IN BEHALF OF SILVER.

Thus far the delegates to the interna.
tional monetary conference at Brussels
have not warmed up to their work and
the outlook for general awakening OF
interest in the deliberations of the re-
| markable gathering is not bright. It is
reasonably clear that any good which
may be accomplished for silver will be
due almost wholly to the efforts of the
American delegates, with whatever in
fiuence India can exert on England.
Europe at present thinks it doesn't want
silver, but its rulers are willing to hear
the arguments of the clever Americans
who want them to want it.
Apparently there is little to expect in
the way of positive action from the con-
ference as whole. The representatives
Of the various governments have met on
the invitation of the United States, whose
stood duty of urging on the other dele
gates the desirability of placing silver on
a parity with gold as medium OF ex-
change. The favor with which those
arguments shall be received by the other
delegates and by the governments and
the people Of Europe will give the meas
ure of success which the conference shall
attain.
At least it is a hopeful sign that the
government. of Europe are willing to
learn in regard to the benefits of a
double standard of value. The United
States, having enormous quantities of
silver to sell and being in a position to
reap large benefits from an international
agreement which would make possible
return to the free coinage of silver,
should be in position either to make
plain case III TIE face of Europes chilly
or to give up its ropes of speed
lily attaining that much desired goal.
1t may be said that if Senator Allison
and his distinguished associates succeed
in melting the ice and in preparing the
way for an ultimate international agree
ment bringing back silver to its former
place the delight of their countrymen
will be something extraordinary. Later
advices from Brussels give some en-
to the hope that the effort
will be crowned with some measure of

Kolb. the Populite candidate for gov
ernor of Alabama, who was defeated by
an overwhelming majority on the face
of the returns, seems to be occupying q
position between the devil and the deep
sea. He has not yet begun the hopeless
contest of ousting his successful rival
upon charges of fraud in the election.
His hesitation is taken 10 mean that he
will not institute legal proceedings, but
his followers threaten him with dire
vengeance if ne fails to do so. But it is
only game OF bluff ard nothing will
come of it. There is no doubt that I'M
fair means were employed in the cleo
ton in that state, but that was not the
real cause of his defeat: the reason he
was not elected was because he did not
have enough voters to stand up for him
at the polls. In a word, the Alabama
Democracy only meant to use the Peo-
PIES party as sort of decoy duck on
western and northwestern game. And
they succeeded.

The impression in the east that Miss
Ella Knowles, the Populist candidate,
has been elected attorney general of
Montana is wrong. Until a few days
ago the Populists claimed, and others
were disposed to concede, her election.
She carried several Democratic counties
and ran well in Republican strongholds
where the mining vote was large. In
the stock-growing counties, however, she
developed no strength whatever, and the
election of the Republican candidate is
now conceded by 1000 plurality. So
now, unless our own Mary Ellen should
get there in her senatorial race, that road
overseer up in central Kansas will have
10 wear the official toga for her sex,

SUGAR MAKING In KANSAS.

Hon. Tom McNeal writes the Topeka
Journal from Medicine Lodge in regard
to the closing of the sorghum sugar fac
tory there. Dir. McNeal says:
1.-The facts are that this year. so far as
the season was concerned, has been IN
favorable, On account of protracted
drouth, which cut down the tonnage per
acre at least one half, so that the total
amount of cane delivered to the mill
was $3.50 tons, whereas in an ordinarily
productive year the same amount of
ground would yield at least 10, 600 tons.
This shortage of crop compelled the mill
to shut down some three weeks earlier
than it would have done had there been
a full crop. Also on account of the short
age the farmers were unable to deliver
cane fast enough to supply the mill TO its
full capacity. even while it ran, SO that
during six iours out of every twenty
four, the miil'was practically idle. In
spite of all these drawbacks however,
the mill will make profit this year. Ii
has run over 100000 pounds of fine
sugar, which will pay operating ex-
penses. 1t will make in addition to this
10000 pounds of second sugars or
thereabout, and the amount received for
these second sugars viii show substan-
tally the profit on the years run.
''This shows the further encouraging
fact that the mills this year have been
able to extract all average of about 112
pounds from each ton of cane.
''Now, as 10 how the farmer comes
out On the business. will cite single
instance OF farmer who rented, and
plowed and cultivated with single team
forty acres Of ground. After deducting
one-third for rent he received for his
share of the cane hauled to the mill a
little over 500. He still has left his seed
which he estimates at 500 bushels, and
this he considers very moderate esti-
mate. This seed is valued at so cents
per bushel. Is there any other crop
raised in Kansas or elsewhere which will
yield the renter So per acre after paying
a third rent for the land:
''In conclusion: II the sugar mill at
Medicine Lodge, under all the adverse
l have mentioned, could
make reasonable profit, does it not
seem that sugar making in Kansas is not
only success but full Of glorious posi-
bilitifs for the state?"

L. c. Moore, colored ex-member Of
the Mississippi legislature, did such
effective work in getting negro votes in
New York that he is to depressed for re-
corder of deeds of the District of Column
bia. This is the $4,000 office which
Fred Douglass formerly held and which
ex-senator Blanche X. Bruce, of Miss
issippi. has filled under Mr.. Harrison.
The assertion is made that the MISSISSIPPI
pi delegation in congress will support
Moores claims. District Democrats are
very much exercised and they propose to
kick against nonresident negro denomi-
nation. This makes the editor of the
Karsas City Gazette red headed because
it may interfere with the plans of his
own beloved Colonel Z. II. J. Taylor.
He hopes it will not be serious because
he wants Kansas City, Kan, as near the
throne as possible.
