THE SINGLE TAX HUMBUG.
From the Hutchinson News.

From the Hutchinson News.
1t cost during the last fiscal year $780,
600, 600 to carry on this government. 1t
NAV appear at first sight to be large
sum, but this is big nation. The pres
ent Democratic congress after months
of maneuvering after record Of econo-
my find it impossible to reduce the
amount, but on the other hand have 1n-
creased it. From what source do we de-
rive all this money? Of the 1855, 600, 600
expended last year, we raised sl45,0 00,-
600 by internal taxes on alcoholic liquors
and tobacco, and S23, 100000 from mis-
cellaneous. The balance, Sl93, Con, oO0
came into the public treasury through
the custom house.
Now the single tax theorists, of which
iIlustrous coterie the congressman from
this district is a shining light, propose
TO abolish the custom house, and
raise this S193,000,0O0 annually by
some other method. By what
method? Well, Jerry Simpson
pretending to be the friend of the farm
er and the implacable foe of corporations,
trusts and millionaires, it is but reason
able to expect he would favor the taxa
ton of these creatures for the expenses
of the government. But, does he? No.
He advocates the doctrine that the
burden should be laid upon the land
owners, otherwise the farmers, of this
country. Under this scheme the mill
ionaires, the bankers, the railroad cor
porations and other capitalistic concerns
would be practically exempt from taxa
ton, while the tillers of the soil would
foot the bill. That is the sum and sub
stance of this single tax theory, and no
amount of abstruse rhetorical tiapdoodle
can disguise its true import.
Are the farmers of the Seventh con-
gressional district of Kansas ready to
give any such scheme their endorse
ment by re-electing their champion TO
congress? VIII they say by their votes
in November that the tariff is all wrong
and that the duty of supporting the
government belong to the farmers? In
short, will the farmers of the Seventh
district write themselves down as a set
of blockheads, by endorsing scheme SO
palpably unjust, aud which must bear
with an iron hand upon themselves:
We think net. We have too much faith
in the sanity and common sense of our
people to believe they would doa thing
so ridiculous.

and action, by the committee and the
house, on the bill in question, until it is
too late to do anything with it this ses-
sion. Now, however, having, as he fan
cies, accomplished his purpose, he as
sumes the role of virtue and pledges his
best efforts to secure the passage OF the
strip bill through the house and senate.
Had the bill been passed earlier III the
session the strip would have been opened
this fall beyond question, and the thous-
ands of homeseekers entering upon the
lands would have made market at our
very doors for the great surplus OF food
products the citizen farmers of the
Seventh district will have to sell the
coming winter and spring. Ii for no
other reason, therefore, than to serve
the material interests of those be is ac-

he is supposed to be there for-Mr. Simp-
son should have exerted himself to the
utmost to secure the passage of the strip
bill in time TO accomplish the desired re-
suits as indicated.

may serve to absolge the offender against
the divine law; but there has been too
much method in Mr.. Simpsons sinuous
course for that plea to avail him with
an injured constituency.

EMERGENCY TREATMENT IN SUN
STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION.

The dangers of a heated term, such as
that through which we are now passing,
cannot be too strongly emphasized. Not
alone are persons exposed to the sun
likely to succumb to the power of its
rays. but those who are compelled to
work in close rooms or under great arti-
fetal heat are also likely to suffer from
exhaustion or prostration. 4 timely cir
cular issued by the Philadelphia Board
of Health presents list of the precau-
tons to be observed and the emergency
methods of treatment to be used IN cases
of sunstroke and heat prostration with
such clearness as to greatly reduce the
danger of a fatal termination of such
attacks. These are as applicable and
effective in this locality and latitude as
that.
In heat exhaustion, which is caused
by physical exertion and exposure to a
high temperature, the surface of the
body is cool, the pulse weak and rapid,
and the temperature below normal. In
such cases, pending the arrival of a ply
sician, stimulents should be given freely,
and the hot bath be used, In sunstroke,
which is brought about by direct expos
ure to the power of the sun, there is a
pain in the head, a feeling of
nausea, great heat of the skin.
a full and rapid pulse, and a
very high temperature. The patient
should be taken TO place where shade
and air may be obtained, stripped to the
waist and laid in q recumbent position.
Cold water Gee water should be poured
upon the head aud chest and wrists until
consciousness returns. Ice should be
applied. When practicable the patient
should be put in a bath at 20 degrees to
reduce the temperature.
There are, of course, many precautions
which may be taken against such at
tacks. Close-ftting and heavy clothing
should not be worn; ice-cold drinks and
alcoholic beverages should be avoided;
sleeping rooms should be freely yenti-
lated, and when symptoms of exhaustion
are observable rest and quiet should be
sought at once. By strict attention TO
these simple rules and the maintenance
of an agreeable temperature, leaving the
thermometer to take care of itself, the
hardest worker may pass through the
summer unscathed.

Il is said that Sitting Ball. Jr, of the
northern Cbeysnnes, who came among the
Indians Of the territory a year ago as the
prophet for the coming Messiah, is pre-
pering to take his departure for the north
and the Comanches are giving grand
farewell dance in his honor. He has found
the prophet business verp profitable. They
have presented him with 100 horses, over
go cattle and innumerable blankets aud
other trinkets. He has married two wives
more in addition to the four be already has
in Dakota.
State Capital: Deputy Marshal Madsen
has just returned from the ChickasRw
country, where he went TO LOOK over the
ground OF the late capture OF the Red Rock
train robbers. The horse that he killed
al the time Of the capture proved
TO have been stolen from an Indian near
Can.onment, Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country When he was taken the Indian
made resistance, and was shot by the out
laws, but not fatally. This is another link
that proves the men caught to have been
the ones who tried TO wreck the train on
the Panhandle road, aud then marched
across the Cherokee strip.
In speaking of seeding for next years
wheat crop the Times-Journal gives the
following advice to the farmers: Don't be
in hurry to SOW your wheat. Better
take more time to prepare the ground, ana
let the sowing go until late in November
If the ground is dry when you get ready
to sow wait until shower moistens
it. Drill your wheat, and be sure that 1t
is well done, that no bare spaces be
left for wherever you sow no wheat you
will surely reap a crop of weeds. The ny
is apt to attack the early wheat and the
frost may catch il in the spring after 1t
heads Experience for the past three sea-
sasons hat shown that late sowing is the
best.
Guthrie Democrat: Henry Garrett is at
present confined in the Logan county jail,
charged with the murder OF a fellow man.
The crime WAS committed in the little
country trading town of Blackstone, Ala,
shortly before Christmas. The man who
met his death at CARROTS hands was j. z.
Sims, blacksmith, and the weapon used
was An ordinary pocket knife. The story
as told by Garrett is, In substance, as fol-
lows: Difficulties had existed between
Garrett aud Sims in the courts, and after a
verdict had been rendered the two men
quarreled. After the quarrel q short time,
Garrett was passing Sims blacksmith
shop, when the latte, 1t is alleged, ran out
with a hammer and struck the former
over the head. Garrett retaliated with a
thrust from the knife, and the cash made
was in the lett side of the victim. The
l.. 11Y,t he IN
was about four inches long and two and
one half inches deep. Garrett states he
was then arrested for assault with intent
to kill, but the wounded mans condition
and the facts which surrounded the as
sault were such that he was easily ac-
Quilted, and the wounded man was in a
good way to recovery when blood poison
ing set in and he died

FUTURE WORLDS FAIRS.

The worlds fair at Chicago will be
followed in 1896 by worlds fair IN
Berlin. In 1898 there will be fair in
Vienna. and in 1900 France will take
another whirl at the fair buriness.
Thus four immense exhibitions are to
be given on this tiny planet III the space
of less than ten years. Paris has little
the best of the showing, having had
fair but four years ago, and appearing
as an exhibitor again at the last and
highest point in the century. The fair
of 1900 must be fin de steele, indeed.
Yet each of these four exhibitions will
be immensely important and each VIII
be in a measure representative OF certain
conspicuous national traits. The worlds
fair at Chicago will be fitting intro
duction to the great series.
We are inclined to wonder, however,
if the legislative or executive powers OF
France, Germany and Austria VIII
haggle, bargain and quarrel over money
appropriation for their respective fairs.
We think not.
Nor will there be any contention over
the questions of Sunday opening and the
sale of intoxicants upon the grounds. But
these last constitute no criterion for us
to be governed by.

A BORN CALCULATOR.

A season of profanity has broke loose
in Topeka again. Their pet scheme OF
years, and one they thought they had
secured several months ago, j. e., the
damning of the Kansas river at place,
has been abandoned by the parties who
had agreed and undertaken to carry 1t
into effect. The disappointment is too
bad and the failure to utilize the I'M
mense water power for industrial pur-
poses is serious detriment to the
capital city. 1t is hoped she may yet
see this great and beneficial project
carried into effect. And it will be when
its importance is sufficiently impressed
upon the local monied interests.

THEKANSAS DEMOCRAT.

From the Atchison Champion.
No Kansas Democrat, if there is one,
will declare that he fayors prohibition.
No Kansas Democrat will acknowledge
thar he favors female suffrage.
No Kansas Democrat Will admit that
the subtreasury scheme of the Peoples
party is a tenet of the Democrtic party.
No Kansas Democrat will confess that
government ownership of railroads and
telegraphs is Democratic principle.
No Kansas Democrat viii confess that
he endorses the idea of the government
becoming a money ioaner al per cent
per anuum.
No Kansas Democrat Will confess that
he believes IN ''paternaT' government.
Every honest Kansas Democrat will
declare that none of these things belong
to the Democratic articles of faith.
And vet Kansas Democrats Ia conveu-
ton assembled have endorsed all these
''heresieS."

The State Bankers association will
hold their annual meeting at some point
in Kansas soon, and it depends on the
preferences of the members OF the asso-
citation, filed with the president by per-
sonal letters, as to where and on what
date the meeting shall be held. Wichita
is not selfish in such matters, but there
is no sort of doubt that this city is the
most desirable place in the state for such
meeting, and there isn't much doubt
that lage majority of the bankers Of
the state would rather have the meeting
held here than anywhere else.

MR.. CLEVELAND ON THE TARIFF
PLANK,

Mr.. Cleveland has defined his position.
He fatty accepts the free trade platform
adopted by the Chicago convention ana
indicates that he will make a square
stand upon it in the present contest.
A letter waitten by him to Mr. Ralph
E. Hoyt of Chicago would appear to set
tie any doubt on that point that may
have existed. 1t has been believed by
many that the tariff plank as originally
reported to the national convention was
what Mr.. Cleveland approved and that
the Neal-Johnson substitutes was too
radical to please him. 1t had been ex-
pected that in his letter of acceptance he
would sooth down the rough surface OF
the substitute plank and reattirin the
compromise doctrines of his famous mes
sage of 1887.
The free-traders have feared this, while
those who are not prepared to embrace
the radical riff-for-revenue-oniy idea
have hoped to see Mr.. Cleveland offset
the platform by deliverances of his own
which would be more acceptable to
them. But he disposes of the fears OF
the one and the hopes of the other at a
single stroke when he says:
Il think no sincere advocate OF honest
atriff reform can be dissatisfied with the
position theDenocratlc party has assumed
on that subject, and am sure none need
fear that the contest will not be made on
the lines laid down, which have proved to
be so acceptable to a great majority OF the
people"
At New York yesterday Mr.. Cleveland
elaborated this view. His letter seems
to show that he is for tariff for revenue
only and against protection in any form.
At last the Democrats know where
they stand. But if Mr.. Cleveland is
free-trader he may have to kiss some of
his late friends good-by.

L THIRD REVOLUTION

Is the title of recent pamphlet. by Prof.
e. 2. Cheyney, of the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA, published By the Ameri-
can Academy of Politics and Social
Science. The third revolution of which
Prof. Cheyney writes is the economic
revolution. He first compares the period
prior 70 the intellectual revolution OF 40o
years ago with the Veriod just before the
political revolution Of 100 years ago. and
shows that these periods were very SINH
lar He then shows that the present
time 4 IN many respects similar with
these periods and from this he draws the
inference that We are about To undergo
a third revolution which, as he shows,
viii be an economic revolution.
