WiIlLeaye IL Us,

The Kansas Republicans have de-
cided to ignore local questions next
year, and to make the gubernatOrial
campaign on national issues. That
arrangement will not tend to improve
the standard of state gOvernment-a
point, by the way, on which Kansas
has alway been somewhat weak. 1t
has only been two or three years since
the right of a state to secede and the
question Of extending slavery into
the territories have been permanently
settled there, and pending the con-
sideratiOn of these matters other con-
Germs of much more vital interest to
the commonwealth have been allowed
to 60 by default. The party which
puts a good strong ticket in the field
in Kansas next year, with clear, Wig
OrOus platform advocating a liberal
and progressive policy for the state,
will stand to win; but that is what
the Republicans appear to have made
up their minds not to do.-K. c.

Gold as the Standard.

The Progress of the World" an
able article in the ReCieD Of ReUie1Cs,
contains the following large chunk of
common sense upon the gold ques-
tiOn:
But why not accept the simpler
conclusion, and acquiesce in the sin
gle gold standard? The broad
argument against this conclusion is
the widely accepted fact that gold is
steadily gaining larger purchasing
power, and that long contracts made
in gold work hardship. One of the
elements of sound money is stability:
and it is quite as Objectionable that
the monetary standard should depreSs
prices by Subtly growing dearer, as
that it should gradually initiate prices
by subtly growing cheaper. The stat
isticianS are not fully agreed; but the
best authorities seems to be ranged
upon the side that regards silver as
having departeI far less than gold
from the average value of staple
commodities. 1t is an extremely diff
tlcult question, and it is not wise to
dOgmatize about it or to speak in a
superior tone. But it is a fact that
silver is the money metal of a ma
jOrity Of the worlds inhabitants: and
1t might be argued with some show
of reason that, if bimetallism is an
tg1l1tS tdtuItS, and the whole world
must come to SINCE metallic stand
ard, then silver would bea safer and
more satisfactory money substance
than gold. With the earnest conten-
tiOn of the west and south that silver
ought to be full money metal, we.
for our part. agree emphatically.
The logic that makes gold the stand
ard of value in India cannot rest sat-
iSfed until China and South America
are on that same basis; and the de-
pressing effect of this successive con-
quest can but be very severe and very
widespread. Gold mOnOmetaliSm
cannot stop at the present lines; and
its universal adoption would in our
Judgment be more baneful than a
transfer tOSilver monometalism."

Gold.

Just now gold is coming from Eu'
rope to this country, and reports of
bread riots, panics and want Of conf
dence are being heard. A short time
ago gold went from this country to
Europe, and panic, bread riots and
business distress followed. Now, if
the inflow and outflow of gold carries
with it these distressing conditions,
is it not high time for an enlightened
civilization to discover a remedy for
this evil? If gold carries within it.
self such elements of destruction,
why should it be permitted to per-
petuate its baneful effects? All evils
of this magnitude should never be
allowed to threaten mankind for any
length of time Watchmdn.

At the feet of her he loved. and felt

A queen Of women in a crowd

Before her answering love for him.
