DURING the present month the teach
ers of our county will be in session in
our city. They are here for the purpose
of advancing themselves in a profession
that is universally recognized as one of
the most useful as well as the most hon.
orable. Citizens of Wa-Keeney, whose
guests they are, should do all in their
power to render their stay pleasant and,
when opportunity offers, should further
give encouragement and manifest their
good will and interest by frequent visits
TO the class rooms. Institutes in our
county have hitherto been uniformly
successful and the indications are that
this viii be one Of the very best ever
held here.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1893.

THE populist state administration mas
made grave blunder in its eagerness
to make political capital out OF the coal
miners strike in southeastern Kansas.
The miners were given to understand
that the administration was in full SYM
pathy with them and that their friendly
Offices might be depended upon at the
critical moment. Encouraged by the
governor, his private secretary, Artz,
Clemens, Diggs and others they were
firm and upyielding in their demands.
The storm eliminated, the looked for
crisis came, and the governor was COM
PEELED to notify the strikers that they
must recede from their position-that
force should not be employed to prevent
those from working who wanted to work
and that the public peace must not be
broken. 1t was equivalent to declaring
officially that the strike was failure
The places of the miners were filled by
negroes from Alabama and the strikers
and their families were left destitute.
Much suffering must inevitably result.
If the governor had taken firm and de-
cided stand, as the executive of the state,
instead OF holding out inducements and
announcements which he knew he had
no right to make, the strike would have
ended long ago and the strikers would
be in their old places; as it is they Will
be compelled to seek work elsewhere.
And what have the populists gained by
their yacillating methods and by their
absurd and insane efforts to gain few
votes2 Nothing but the contempt and
distrust of good citizens generally, in
GLIDING many OF the strikers themselves
And this is not all; with the strikers
displaced by negroes, it means the loss
of that district, politically, to the popu-
list party. 1t means the loss OF the
members OF the legislature In two coun-
ties, district Judge, member OF con-
gress. Demagoguery in politics does
not always pay.

THE populists think now that they
will carry every western county. They
propose to give seed wheat to every
farmer who will join the alliance and
thereby become member of the popu-
list party. They place high estimate
upon the character of western settlers.
They think few bushels of seed wheat
will cause them to change their political
convictions and become an advocate of
their principles. If a western farmer
should be so base as to be bribed to
vote the populist ticket for few bush
els of seed wheat, doesn't the populist
committee run some risk in paying them
some three or four months before hand.
They should remember that the Austria
liam ballot system is now in vogue in
Kansas and man can vote as he pleases
and the financial consideration may not
be effective, as there is no way of keep
ing check on the individual who receives
it.-Salina Republican.

IT'S given out that Senator Martin
had much to do with the populist con
yention held, last week, in Topeka, anc
which decided against fusion. Martin
evidently realizes that the time has
come when he must support the admin
istration-which means that he must
oppose fusion in Kansas from this on.
Kansas has not been recognized In the
distribution of federal offices and in only
afew local appointments, and these only
where necessary. In fact appointments
in Kansas have been tied up pending
the attitude of Senator Martin. If Mr.
Martin supports the administration in
the coming silver contest, all may yet
be well with Kansas office seekers, but
if he does not, those who have relied
upon him for support will be woefully
disappointed, for he will have neither
character nor influence with the admin
istration. The time has come when
Senator Martin must be something po-
litically and he cannot, much longer, be
both populist and democrat. We pre-
dict that he will be a straight democrat

THE usual "corn crop failure" has
come rolling in from Kansas. This is
an annual occurrence and no matter
what the harvest may be in September
the crop is always failure during the
latter part of July. ''The reports from
western Kansas" always indicate that
though the corn is looking all right, il
will only be good for fodder, and by the
same token Kansas is going to the bow
vows. Western Kansas" is a very
hazy and indistinct locality in the
bright lexicon and gazetteer of the crop
reporter. But if the matter were
searched and sifted it would be found
that western Kansas" is used in a
slightly Pickwickian sense, and that it
refers to the field of some noisy old pol
itician who goes roaring around the
hotel Hobbies in Topeka anxious to at
tract the attention of the reporters, who
in their turn are eager for an item at
this dull season. 1t may be put down
as reasonably certain that there will be
no corn crop failure" this year in

A RARE OLD BIBLE.

An Illinois Collector Rewarded by
a Copy of the Bishops Version.
One of the best informed men on the
subject of photography is Mr.. Geo. N.
Black. To a Journal representative
yesterday Mr.. Black frankly confessed
that he is biblomaniac, and the splen-
did collection of rare old books and the
hundreds of new ones in his library is
confirmation strong enough for any one.
For the past thirty years Mr.. Black has
been making collections Of valuable
copies Of books old and new, both in
England and in this country. A num-
Der of the books have cost as high as
5000 and $500.
The latest addition to his library
came yesterday by express carefully
packed in several thieknesses Of heavy
paper and canvas. 1t is a well-preserv-
ed copy of the Bishops version Of the
Holy Bible Mr.. Black had been scour-
ing England for the past two years for
just the book he has now received. It
turned up at library sale in Liverpool,
and was purchased in that city by Mr..
Henry Nash, cousin of Mr.. Black,
and forwarded to this country on the
Teutonic. 1t belonged to the library Of
Rev. e. Moore, of Broughton, Malher-
be, Rectory Kent and Stonedean Of
Bucks. The copy was imprinted by
Christopher Barker in 1885. Mr.. Bar
ker was printer to her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth of England. 1t was through
her wisdom and the prudence Of Bur-
leigh, says DR.. Chalmers, that the first
newspaper was printed by Mr.. Barker
in the same year. This was long before
the day of movable type. The book is
printed in large letters of the old Eng
fish style, and is difficult at first to read
on account Of the unfamiliar style Of
some of the characters. Between the
covers are both the Old and New Tes-
taments, and not single page is mu-
tilated or dimmed by handling. 1t is
one Of the best copies extant, and is
worth $3.50. Mr.. Black has also a copy
of the Genevan version Of the Bible
1t is seven years older than the copy
received yesterday, but is not nearly
so we'll preserved. One interesting
feature of the Bishops Bible is a pic
torial sketch Of genealogy from Adam
down to the Savior.-Springfield State
Journal.

an Europe He Is n Man of Erudition
and Patience.
The mild-mannered man who acts as
concierge in a European hotel is q per-
son Of erudition. Moreover, he is a pa
tient animal, and patience costs more
Of an effort than erudition. He is sup
posed to know the number Of each
guests room and the advantages
which that room possesses over other
rooms in the house He must know ev-
erybody by his or her surname, and he
must know how those names are spell
ed. He is supposed to converse fluent
ly in at least six languages, and he does
it, too, with an ease that is astonishing
and a speed that would paralyze the
strongest right arm Of the average
stenographer. He must be able to an
swer questions on the run.
In matters pertaining to- local time
tables he is infallibIe. He can also tell
you when your train will arrive at its
destination in any part of Europe, no
matter how remote. He can tell the
cities through which you pass, the char
acter and quality of the railway re-
freshment rooms, and the principal ar
ticies on which duties are levied by the
different customs officers. Postage and
telegraph tolls are at his fingers ends.
If five persons speak to him at once,
he must be able to answer all five at
the same instant. Nobody must be kept
waiting. He is supposed to know every
point Of interest in the empire and all
the different routes by which they may
be approached.
He must begin early in the morning,
and work until all the guests have gone
time, smiling continually, and touching
his cap at every second breath. Irate
tourists pour out their Walls of wrath
on him, grumbling invalitls make him
the butt Of their complaints, noisy
children raise bedlam around his desk,
silly girls. who didn't know it was load
ed, ask countless silly questions. He is
held responsible for everything that
goes wrong, and he never gets credit
for anything that goes right.
For all these services the average
concierge gets about S. per week, ex-
elusive of tips, which, it is to be hoped,
are muniticent No man can live long
under that sort of strain. Sooner or
later the bright and vigorous intellect
of the concierge will become clouded,
and life will ultimately rest on him,

curse. VIII the concierge be any
