SILVER AND THE CURRENCY.

K. C. Gazette: Congressman w.
A. Harris has returned from
Washington, and through the
Topeka papers INDUCES in some talk.
He thinks the Sherman silver bill will not
berepealed, that it was an outrageous COM
promise, and that the Bland bill, while
it does not give free coinage, would be
satisfactory, because it would provide
for the coinage of So, 900, 900 per month.
The Sherman law gives $4,000 per
month. We wonder if this isn't what is
the matter with the boarding of gold.
To ob!ige a lot of silver spectators. and
some cranks who are all the time talking
about more money, Uncle Sam fills all
the buildings in Washington and Phila-
delphia with silver for which he pays 100
cents for 70 cents worth. How can the
silver certificates hold up at par with gold
when the stuff on which they are issued
is slowed away by the ton and no one
wants it?
Ii the Kansas congressman is correct
ly quoted, his statement of the amount
OF silver coinage provided for in the acts
named show that he has quite good
deal to learn in those regards The
Bland act, as we remember it, did not
provide for So, 900, 900 month, but $2,-
500, 900, while the Sherman law, which
is still in operation, does not require the
coinage of SINCE dollar, and has not
since the expiration of first year after,
its enactment. 1t does provide tor the
purchase of 100000 ounces of
silver bullion month, which is still be-
ing done. AS for the Gazettes query,
that is debatable question and one that
is not likely to be settled right soon;
though from the way gold is being offer
ed in exchange for treasury Lotes some
will no doubt claim that it is already
settled, practically, in favor of the white
''stuff'

year, and that although much OF the
seed was put in late. the ground was In
splendid condition to receive it. The
nature of Kansas soil, in the main. is
different from that in most of the wheat
producing states, in that it does net
heave by freezing, condition that is so
Obstructive to wheat in the spring. AS
far as is known to the contrary the pros
poets for large crop in this state are
good which, if realized, will be the most
fortunate thing for Kansas. Another
big wheat crop with present assurances
of good prices, supplemental to the rich
harvest in the prices of hogs and cattle,
present and prospective and Kansas viii

Complaint is made that the sum ap-
propriated by the Kansas legislature for
an exhibit at the Worlds fair-S65, 600
is too small to admit of an adequate dis
play. 1t might have been larger, but
that amount of money, supplemented
by Kansas ingenuity and Kansas enter
prise, can be made to go a great way.
As was proven at the centennial in '76,
Kansas has way of advertising her re-
sources which is strictly sui generis. At
the Philadelphia show she made an ex-
hibit that attracted universal attention.
1t was so unique in its character that it
created more comment than any other
state exhibit on the grounds. Kansas
can give its display at Chicago this year
this same charm of individuality and by
the exercise of this gift, which seems
peculiar to the Sunfower state. the in
sufficiency of the appropriation can be
more than atOned for.

No Use for Calamity,

From the La Crosse Clarion,
Representative Hale of Rush county
was visited yesterday by eight German
farmers from his county who are anon g
his most prosperous constituents. These
eight men are among the largest wheat
growers of his county and last year they
produced total of 45,015 bushels as fol-
lows: John .Bollig. 5000 bushels; Jacob
Herman, 7,770; Henry Deppcrsmitht,
$500; John p Shaffer, $500; Frank
Schoendall, 6,450; Joe S;haneberger,
$500; Mike Lichilter, 5000. 1t is un-
necessary to add that these men have no
use for the Populist party. They are
straight Democrats.

Wives Sentiments.

From the Emporla Republican.
1t is suggested that every man should
allow his wife to dictate his vote on the
woman suffrage question. Why wouldn't
it be just as well for man to vote on
every other question according to his
wife's direction? That would be woman
suffrage without the Objectionable fea-
ture of actual voting by women. This
plan would undoubtedly suit the ladies
better than the one which would require
them to visit the polls themselves. AS it
Is now perhaps nine Out OF every ten
men vote their wives sentiments as well
as their own. This is probably the rea
son that the majority of women are in
different on the subject of equal suffrage.
