WRONG AS USUAL.

The Topeka ADVOCATE seems to think
that Attorney General Miller's failure to
prosecute the trusts should exempt Attor-
ney General Olney from criticism for neg
leOting his duty. That is characteristic of
Populists and democrats. II one Of their
officials should turn hOrse-thief, they would
probably justify him if they could find that
any republican officer had furnished pre-
Cedent.-EmpOria Republican May 18.
The ADVOCATE has said nothing
that could be distorted to justify any
such inference as that drawn by the
Republican. What the ADVOCATE did
say was that the howl now being
raised by republicans because of At
torney General Olney's failure to
prosecute the trusts, only exhibits
their hypocrisy, inasmuch as while
we had a republican attorney general
who was equally derellct of duty, they
had no criticism to offer. Republi-
can criticism is for partisan purposes
only, and not for the correction of
abuses of public trusts. This at
tempted perversion of our position,
however, is in perfect keeping with
republican policy. 1t is found much
easier to misrepresent us than to show
the injustice of our criticisms.

SUCCESS TO 1T,

The Republican, the able exponent
of the Peoples party at Washington,
Kss., starts out on it's 25th volume
with the issue of Mays. Speaking of
it's present condition and outlook it
says:
1t owns It's own plant and office building,
two story and basement brick, 24G51 feet in
size. (The east 81 feet of the same block
being the property of the Washington ma
tional bank.)
The Office and editorial room is 17X24 feet
in size, Separated from this by hall is
the composing room, 24x28 feet. From both
rooms there are doors leading to the street,
and also to the basement, 24x51 feet in size,
where are located the power press, folder,
engine, tank, coal bin, paper Gutter and
cabinet containing job stock. Here is also
stored the paper on which the Republican
is printed.
The Republican has a good Circu-
lstion and merits the support it is
receiving. Long may 1t wave.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-24

IT turns out that the howl of Offensive
partisanship" over the erasure of the names
of the old board of Kansas managers from
the walls Of the state building was very
cheap and unwarranted cry. The names
we're erased by request of A. W. Smith, the
PRESIDENT Of the former board, and by the
act of Maj. Tom Anderson, who, whatever
may be the opinions as to his character,
will not be claimed as an antagonist of the
republican party. The names were in
scribed without authority by the contractor,
and were removed solely as a matter Of
taste without the least reflection upon the
former managers or their aCtion.-Lawrenoe
Record, May 16.
All of which facts will not stop the
howl. The failure to howl and appeal
to prejudice rather than reason is
an absolute disqualification for good
republican editor. That is the reason
why the Record is not in good repute
with the brethren. If 1t would be in
good standing it should howl.

OF the nation. Joe Hudson, the mouth
piece of the republican party Of Kansas,
will loudly applaud that the country is
once more in prosperous condition, and
the rest of the little republicans over the
state will sit on the fence with their
mouths open and swallow every word of
it with loud gulp Of "'Rah for the dear
old banker and his generous heart !"
But if the people say we'll issue money
direct to the people based on the whole
Of the wealth Of the nation without
usury, Hudson says "fiat," and the little
fellows bswl reputation. The Santa
Fe railroads supreme court yells sun

bankers tell them to. And if the people
don't accept that as final, they are
crsnks and anarchists fit only for the
lunstio asylum.
Men, be men; rouse yourselves from
your deep sleep; rouse your neighbor;
think, investigate. Is there not some
thing wrong when a government is on
the verge Of toppling over at every whip
stitch under our present financial sys-
tenn? Investigate and see. If the law
does not make and unmake money, how
does it come that prior to 1873 silver was
full legal tender and by "sn act it is
demonetized? Thus "an act" made it
money, a legal tender, and another "act"
unmsde it. Apply the same to the green
backs in their first and original form, un-
til by "sn act they were crippled, and
through the crippling of these two
measures our country to-day lies bleed
ing and helpless at the mercy of a few
whose only object is greed and gain and
the enslsving of the many.

The United States a Pauper.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-PoOr old helpless

full of men who revel in wealth and live
in guided mansions situated on Wall
street dictate. They now say she must
issue some more of those interest bear
ing bonds you read about. II she don't,
they will never help the poor old pauper
out again. Think If it, fellow citizens
and taxpayers in general; q government
like the United States at the mercy Of a
half dozen men; she must do as they say
or she is doomed. Shame on such gov
ernment.
The associated press dispatches from
Washington announce to an anxious
public that the bankers are practically q
unit in favor of bond issue, that the
parity between gold and silver may be
maintained. When were they not unit
in favor of anything that promised to ex-
tort usury from the hands of labor to
their already overAowing Golfers?
1t can not in truth be said We are an
independent nation when we must bow
in humble submission to q few bankers.
To boast Of free and independent ma
tion is mockery. The American citizen OF
to-day is no more independent than be-
fore the revolution. It is humiliRting
to think Of the degenerscy from the
broad and liberal minds Of Washington,
Jefferson and Abe Lincoln down to the
present blind, narrow, prejudiced minds
Of to, day. There are hundreds and
thousands Of men to-day who can see no
further than to praise the dear old
banker in his noble efforts to lift the
government from an impending mire by
bond issue. How long the people will
sleep and let this dsstardly work go on
is q mystery that can not be solved. They

system "-it finds itself confronted
with depleted treasury, with reve-
nues insufficient to meet the extrava-
CANT appropriations of congress, and
instead of reducing the revenues, it
will be compelled to devise means to
increase them. This may be done by
restoring the tariff on sugar, tea and
coffee. That will be a democratic
triumph with vengence. Great Is

WHO GETS THE PROFIT9

From the fifth biennial report Of
the state coal inspector of the state of
Colorado, page 7, we find the average
market value of coal per ton of 1900
pounds at the mines is $1.68. We in
quired the price of that same coal of
a coal dealer in this city s-short time
ago and it was So per ton. Colorado
anthracite sold in this city during the
past winter at $40 per ton. Our read
ers at various points in the state can
determine the amount of profit on
Colorado coal by subtraCting $L68
from the price of it IN their several
localities. Who gets this profit? Who
Is to blame that Kansas people will
still have to pay these profits for at
least two years to come?

A STATE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.

suggested lately is the scheme Of
Labor Commissioner Todd to estab-
lish a state employment bureau, pro-
vided he can devise ways and means,
in the absence of any appropriation
for the purpose, to make such bureau
self-sustaining. The need of arises
from two causes: First-There are
thousands of able-bodied men and
women, now idle, who are in absolute
need of steady employment whereby
to purchase their daily bread. Many
of these can be provided for by
bringing them into communication
with those who may need their SER
vices. Second-The usual so-cslled
employment agency is as a rule de-
signed to rob those seeking employ
ment of the little they possess. These
snide concerns not unfrequently prsc-
tice the most outrageous deception
upon their victims concerning the
character of the employment to be
secured for them and the wages they
are to receive. Men and women are
not unfrequently sent to distant To-
calitiOs under promise of certain
kinds of work at remunerstive prices
only to find upon arrival at their des-
tination that they have paid the ras-
cally employment agent a good fee to
lead them into a trap from which
they have not and cannot obtain the
means of escape. The establishment
of state agency of this character, if
it can be made a success in the alb
sence of an appropriation, will be a
great benefit to those who need en-
ployment The great objection to it
is it partakes too much of psternal-
ism, and this, President Cleveland
says, is dangerous.
Concerning his plan Mr.. Todd says:
It is our plan to be in correspondence
with every institution employing one or
more men in the state. We will request
them to notify us whenever they need work
men and also give us description of che
GLASS of work and the kind Of man wanted,
and the wages to he paid. When applica-
tions are received at our Office we will put
the applicants in communication with the
employers.
Individuals as we'll as institutions
who need help may also apply to Mr..
Todd; and, as soon as the machinery
can be got in readiness, the depart
ment may render the most important
service both to those needing work
and those needing help. In view Of
the possibilities of such a bureau, the
people of Kansas, the ansrchlstic part
of them at least, will probably be
willing to take some chances on this
experimental paternalism. Those who
are particularly afraid of 1t are rec
commended to lock their doors nights.
1t is not dangerous in daylight.
In order to defrsy necessary ex-
penses in conducting correspondence
Mr.. Todd will ask those who desire
to avail themselves of the services Of
the department to enclose 10 cents

the effect that 10 per cent reduction in
wages will be made on January /, unless
trade improves. Over 1000 employees will
be affected. The mills are only running on
half time.
Monday 100 bricklayers employed by
Booth d. Flynn, contractors, at Pittsburg,
struck against reduction of 50 cents day
IN wages. Until a week prior to the cleo
ton they were paid $3.50 per day. AT that
time they were surprised by an advance to
81 per day. A week after the election
notice was served that only the former rate
Of $3.50 would be paid. To this the men
objected.

The bonnet is only becoming TO really
beautiful face, because the hair shows
hardly at all and the affair looks little
queer after all, but to look little queer
means to be real stylish to many, so the
fashion is chroncled.

Dlrectoire hat, with tho crown sand
colored felt and square in shape. The
brim, also of felt, Is black on top and
sand-colored underneath, and forms a
point over the ears and turns up very
markedly in front. II is trimmed with
rolls and knots of black striped velvet,
together with black ostrich tips. The
tie strings of black satin ribbon are three
inches wide. The hat seen from the
front is made Of pale ycllowish brown
felt, the brin bent to form a square. 1t
is trimmed in front with a fan.shaped
arrangement of olive green velvet, and
the crown is encircled with the same
and at the back is trimmed with large
rosette of it holding in place two brown
and green changeable wings and an

The simpler the three-cornered hats
are the pretticr. One all black worn
with one corner just little to one side
has band of MORE silk, rosettc Of it
and a curled cocks feather at one of the
turned up sides. 1t is to be worn,
of course, with an all black street rig,
A short full skirt, and coat ilaring
widely. The current free use of ostrich
feathers suggests that that bird is not as
foolish as he is reputed to be. For may
1t not be that when the ostrich buries
his head in the sand he does it merely
so that the feathers can be picked out
Of his tail to put in women's hats.

strap five inches long and one inch wide
that holds hand of tulle one inch wide,

ter, as well as the shoulder straps, serve
as skeleton foundation to which the

part will require an end of lace seventy
five inches long, which is to be arranged
in fan pleats on the shoulder and gath

one requiring seventy-five inches of
crepe, and the top one being seventeen

That speech which Minister Willis is
reported to have delivered under a
pledge of secrecy before committee of
the newly organized protective associa-
ton known as the American League of
Hawaii, reads very much like fake. It
is admitted that the substance of the
speech "leaked out" at second or third
hand, and that "each side takes a radi-
cally different view of it," SO that, at the
best, the so-called report of it can be
little better than guesswork. 1t is
hardly conceivable that Minister Willis
should have made any speech at all
under such conditions, and certainly in
credible that he should have expressed
desire ito see the stars and stripes,
under certain conditions, floating over
Hawaii, as well as all the other islands
of the Pacific" If he spoke at all on
the subject, it is safe to assume that q
correct report of his utterances would
be very different from the so.called re.
port that has "leaked out" in this way

In less sonbre millinery puffs of
ombre velvet are often run around the
upper edge of hat crowns and a frill of
real lace as wide as the puff is then laid
over the velvet The puff and lace are
drawn out wide on one side and on the
other pushed up on the top of the hat
to accommodate the three branching
plumes, which, fastened with a jeweled
buckle so the ends of the quilts show,
complete the trimming of most stylish
sort of hat. Stand up feather of the
Prince of Wales type are still the pretti-
est thing for most hats, but If your
feathers simply won't stand up any
more, let them lie down and hang over
the edge of big hat and you will have
an effect which is nearly as good.
A beautiful modification of an old
time sleeve is made with a close fitting
silken sleeve fitted well over the wrist.
Over this is worn velvet sleeve, slit to
just below the shoulder and on the
under and the upper side the sleeve fall

ieweled and flexible gold clasps the arm
over the velvet sleeve and from this
band the velvet sleeve is divided. Above
it, it is full though not dropping. The
