THE WICHITA CONVENTION.

From the Fort Scott Monitor
The irrigation convention in session in
Wichita Wednesday and Thursday was
a very important gathering for the inter-
ests of Kansas. a move that has been
struggling for years to get public recOg-
milton, but has heretofore attracted but
little attention, is gaining strength. The
Salina convention of some months ago
awakened a greater degree of interest
than any formerly held on the subject,
and the Wichita gathering will still
further augment that interest. The
object of these conventions is to awaken
public interest in the attempt to utilize
the great plains of Kansas and Colorado,
by furnishing the water necessary to
make them productive. The organization
now extends over several states. aud IT.
rigatiou will be prominent issue in the
election of several congressman IN the
west. Several eminent men took part in
the discussion and contributed papers on
the subject, and much information was
furnished calculated to enlist the CO.
operation of the people. 1t is subject
very near, if not quite, as important to
the west as that of silver. There are
homes for millions of people in the scale,
and the question of irrigation cannto be
agitated too much. Several eminent
kansans have enlisted in the cause, and
will make it their business till success
crowns their efforts, or it is proven i'm
practicable.

THE DEAD SUMMER.
IBY j. E. HOBBS

The earth that was bright as the summer day.
Is now but barren waste OF gray
The sky that was blue azure well,
Is now but hollow, haZen bell;
All, well the summer was long and sweet,
Though it lies now pallid and dead "a. orr feet;
Dailid and dead, her sunny hair
Falls round her chill linn bs marble bare;
Her violet eyes closed forevermore.
What matter. w here hope dies Ger and DER?
For hope is dead, anu the dream is done,
That word, a look, a smile began.
The beautiful life of our life is DER,
We two snail walk together-no more,
Hush! say good by-we need not weep,
We cannot waken summers sleep;
A summer filled with JOY aud mirth.
Not many summers ike that on earth.
So garland her brow with mea ory's flowers,
And raise stone to those bygone hours.
Rude aus1mn's wild and S ormy blast,
A requiem sobs DER our buried past.
All, we may never again clasp hands,
We. who mus; live on different lands:
Nor hold TO our hearts the blessed hope
To rleet, in all life's widest scope.
And so, the beautiful dream has fed,
And summer lies at our feet-now dead.
The shadows have darkened your brown eyes,
Good by! Good by! the day light dies.

SEVENTY IDLE MILLIONS.

Can't some man be found with mental
grasp enough to tell what the matter is
with this country? The average indi-
vidual is tired of the platitudes of the
politicians, the meaningless mouthings
of the Duns and Clewses and their Wall
street confreres, the smooth assurances
OF the D lpews and Of the hosts OF theoret-
ical financiers 10 be found in and out of
congress. Values of every description
are shrinking, lands and stocks
and every commodity and produc-
ton from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, fromthe Lakes to the Gulf
are shriveling up. gold alone excepted.
Credit has taken to itself wings, and
confidence exists nowhere. The banks
all over the land having received
fright, finding no security in anything
and distrusting everything, have re-
doubled their diligence in collecting and
ceased to loan until the great volume of
the circulation is lying in idle vaults.
The consumer being out of money, has
ceased to buy, except as necessity COM
pels, and the revenues from exports con-
have fallen away until the
current expenses of the government
have absorbed the gold reserve of the
national treasure TO an alarming exteEt.
Seventy millions of dollars, over and
above the reserve required by law
to he held, seventy million of sur
plus, is lying locked up in the
banks of New York city this morning,
with all branches of trade everywhere
for want of funds that cannot
be had. In the face Of this anomaly,
majority of congress stands pledged
against silver, and the administration,
with its dominating majority, threaten
ing to level to a poverty basis the pro-
tective laws of the land. In the mean
time the Frustrating process of uni
versal liquidation is being enforced
against the debtor-half of the country,

THE WIS DELAY.

1t is the rule for newspapers to con-
denim the summary vengeance of the
mob, and just now there is much criti-
cism of the sudden execution of the
human brute at Ottumwa, la. last week.
We doubt the wisdom of ali this news
paper protest.
1t is also the rule for newspapers to
condemn the execution of any assassin
who is known to be an insane or mono
maniacal crank. We doubt the wisdom
of this stand also.
The more insane the assassin the more
dangerous he is. The madden the dog
the more swiftly and surely ought he to
be killed. The loss of life is Of less con-
sequence to the insane individual than to
the sane one, and SO far as the commun-
good. Insanity should be no excuse for
murder. The brute at Ottumwa met a
most deserved fate. The assassin of
Carter Harrison is unfit to live. In the
interest of all, and as warning to all
who are like him, he should be as speed
lily disposed of as the law will permit
Of course the law is the chief protec-
ton of society, but it is the delay and an
almost constant defeat of law which
causes those VINO make the law to be-
come its summary executors. 1t is the
insanity plea and dodge that organizes
the high court of Lynch.
There is but one way to stop mobs and
their vcngeance-which is a righteous
vengeance ninety-nine times in hun
dred-and that is by the sure and swift
punishment of capital criminals.

STANDING Up FOR WALL STREET.

1t is daily becoming apparent that the
treasury department is to issue gold
bearing bonds for the ostensible purpose
of replenishing our depleted treasury,
but for the real purpose of maintaining
the gold standard. Every step taken by
the present administration has been in
the direction of squeezing everything
down to unit of value, and that unit
the Insignificant supply of gold which is
being trundled back and forth to
Europe in a manner which any day
may find the margin so ridiculously low
that it would be folly to talk of pay
ment in that coin.
The signiorage of silver bullion
now in the treasury might have
been coined long ago, adding
SO, 100000 to our circulation. One of
the many conservative plans suggested
for a continuance of the coinage of sill
yer as substitute for the repeal bill
might have been adopted. The relent-
less demand for unconditional repeal
might have been abated, at least, until
stored-indeed almost any course save
the one pursued would have averted i'm
pending danger and kept the business of
the country in a normal condition.
1t is through the legitimate channels
of trade that the government derives its
revenue. and the present insignificant
balance is proof of itself that something
is wrong. The much heralded relief
which was to follow the passage of the
repeal bill shows up just as its supporters
intended; mere pretext TO compass its
passage into law. This infamy consul
mated, we are now confronted with
depleted treasury" and it is in the
hands of the promoters of this policy
alone to provide relief.
The bond scheme was limited at from
the beginning, simply to educate public
sentiment to the idea. 1t was a veritable
football for its friends and enemies,
neither of whom seemed to be classified
as a voting factor while congress was
in session, but now that congress has ad-
iourned it assumes TIE proper
tons of plain duty of the secre-
tary of the treasury 10 order
these bonds as the only and last resort.
The truth is that nothing else was in
tended from the start. II is nothing
more nor less than an Anglo-American
scheme to provide choice investmet for
surplus capital. II is the governments
obligation to pay given amount in gold,
and the incubators of the scheme will be
the purchasers of every dollars worth of
these bonds. 1t is adding just so much
TO the Indebtedness of the government,
for which there is no other excuse than
the one cited. Fat commissions will
accrue to New York bankers, and the
English hog will be first TO guzzie the
swilLi
