FARMERS IN GOOD SHAPE.

The ninth monthly mortgage report Of
the Topeka Capital appeared in that pa
per Sunday which shows that there is no
cessation in the liquidation of mortgages.
1t shows that farmers during December
made a net reduction of mortgages in
forty-four Of the 106 counties of the state
Of 1924, 746 in spite Of the fact that Dec
ember is a tax paying month. Eight
counties report actual sales of farms ag-
gregating $44J, 900, and most of the 9th
er counties reporting state that farms
are being sold largely but do not give
figures. The gross reduction of farm
mortgages in forty-four counties for the
wonth was 81, AT, 422, and the new mort
cages and renewals were 81, 1J2, 616 for
the period of seven months ending Dec.
81, 1891 The Capitals reports show a
net reduction in fifty of the 106
counties of the state of S5,063, 156. This
is mainly due to the wheat crop, as the
corn has not yet been moved.

An Original Kansas Idea,

From the Lawrence Journal.
Edison's theory that he can telegraph
between ocean steamers without the use
of wires, is not new one by any means.
Prof L. |. Blake of the Kansas State
University has been working on the idea
for several years, and has so nearly COM
pleted his invention as to be able to say
with certainty that it is a success. But
Professor Blake does not depend upon
balloons. He harnesses the salt sea with
his wires, and makes it serve him.

In his inaugural message Governor
Flower of New York cited statistics to
show that insanity is decreasing IN the
Empire state. the number of people in
asylums is less in proportion to the size
of the population than il was in 1880. 1t
would appear from this that the recent
outbreak of various persons with dis
heveled intelIects and yearning to get
at the shrine of mammom and purloin
the gold altar ornaments is rather a
manifestation of the harmless lunatics
who are uncaught, and consequently do
not figure IN the statistics, than of the
orthodox and recognized lunatics who
are passed upon by the doctors. So
long as man keeps the knowledge of
his cTaziness to himself he is not to be
accounted insane There are now really
no more crazy people than there We're,
but a greater number of them are letting
the world know about it.

Senior Montt, the Chilian minister to
the United States, thinks perhaps,
maybe" the apparently strained rela-
tons between the United States and
Chill is occasioned by the circumstance
that the English speaking people in that
country are mainly English subjects,
and the Americans there are principally
Irish. The remark was probably said in
facetious way, but it 40 doubt con-
talns about as much of the real gist of
the matter as could be couched in as few
words. 1t is altogether probable that
had the United States minister to Chill
been other than of Irish origin the Balti-
more incident would not have occurred.
The greatest hold of the English is in
trigue. Her policy is and always has
been to provoke q quarrel, and fight if
possible, between some two countries
and then take advantage of the trouble
to extend her own dominion, CONNER
cial or otherwise.

who relinquishes his pension claim and
ceases to draw the money. The cases
are not parallel, though the latter calls
to mind the former. The last mentioned
cases are not of very frequent occur

physical condition is such as TO entitle
him to pension very rarely improves

moving the disability entirely. The last

Now that Col. Sam vinson, of the
independent republic of Wayne, has
discovered that the Hon. George Wes-
ley Atkinson has sS,2OOoOO in land,
we may indulge the hope that Bier
Atkinson will quit borrowing stoGies
from the friends at home.
1t is great comfort to know that as
soon as Colonel vinson confirms Mr..
Atkinson's title to the land our emil
nent townsman intends to dump $780,
900 into the Republican campaign
fund, which will then blossom as the
rose.
There can't be any disappointment
for Colonel vinson would not deceive
his Democratic friends in Wayne to the
extent OF sS.2OO,OOO. He is understood
to be exact even in these small matters
about campaign time.
The INTELLreEScER takes the liberty
to remark that Atkinson has been aw-
fully sly about this little business.
There should be no such secrets among
friends.

was the Republican party that created
the free school system in this state /;
that it was in charge of that system for
FIVE years; that it did not provide dur
iAg those years for mixed schools. If
it did not then provide for mixed
schools, what evidence has he or any
one else that the Republican party
would have them now il it were in con-
troll Of the state, or next year when it
will be in control of the state, even sup
posing that there we're no constitutional

What is the object of this harping on
"foace bill" "nigger domination" and
"mixed schools?" Simply to stir up
prejudice and throw dust in the eyes
of the people, and to avoid the discus
sion OF live issues.

Iron Workers Wages.--Mr. CIeye-
lands Blunder.
Mr.. David B. Oliver, OF Pittsburg, has
prepared, and the INTELLIGENCE to-day
publishes, statement showing the
wages OF iron workers in that city in
1858 under Democrotic tariff.for-
revenue-only policy, and to-day under
the Republican policy of protection.
He gives also the wages paid in Pitts
burg and the wages paid in England.
The Pittsburg wages of to-day run
from nearly double to nearly ak times
as much as those paid in 1858 under the
Democratic policy. The wages paid
to-day in Plttsburg run from half as
much more to eight times as much as
those paid to-day in England.
II the American workman received
only the 'fair share Of the advantages"
of protection, which Mr.. Cleveland says
he does not receive, he would receive
half as much more wages as the Eng
lish workman gets for producing ton
of bar iron. Mr.. Cleveland shows that
the American receives two and third
times as much as the English workman.
Mr.. Cleveland is not posted as to the
facts. In his eagerness to support his
party's absurd theory, he has fallen an
easy prey to somebody who has made
him ridiculous.
But what is the use of Mr. Cleveland
or any other free trader talking about
the workman's fair share OF the advan-
tages of protection. The Democratic
platform denounces all protection as a
violation of the constitution. If there
can be no protection, there can be no
share OF it for anybody. From this
plain conclusion there is absolutely no
escape.

Candidate MacCorkIo and "Nigser
Domination"

Mr.. MacCorkle, Democratic nominee
for governor OF West Virginia, in his
speech at Huntington, September 8,
said: They wish totake away the right
OF our children to be taught with their
equals, and put them with the niger.
Sure as am talking, you let Thomas E.
Davis be elected in this state, you let
the niger dominate, and your children
will sit in four years with the Niger by
his side" 1t will be useless for Mr..
MacCorkle TO repudiate or try to hedge
on this utterance. The INTRLLreENcER
quotes from shorthand report Of the
speech, which is altogether a remarks
bic production.
This is an astonishing declaration to
come from a man who has received the
endorsement OF a great party for the
high office OF governor OF a state. Such
an assertion shows on the part OF its
author gross ignorance or downright
iaisehood.
Mr.. McCorkle is a lawyer. He knows
that the eighth section OF the twelfth
article OF the constitution OF this state
reads as follows: white and colored
persons shall not be taught in the same
school," He knows, or ought to know,
that this cannot be got out of the con-
stitution, except by vote OF the people
Of the state; that such an amendment
would have to be agreed to by two
thirds of both houses Of the legislature,
and that it would have to be ratified by
majority of tho qualified voters OF the
state.
