payers, we should utterly rspudiate the
whole thing as being a fraud uncOnstitu-
tional and therefore not binding upon
the people; that it would receive the
support Of great majority Of the voters
Of the country. FOrfearance in this
thieving bond business has about ceased
to be a virtue, and the juggling trick
sters who have been robbing the toilers
through legalized stealing had as well
realize the fact before it be too late.
True, they have the courts to interpret
laws to suit their purposes, but have
they forgotten that the slave power had
even the United States supreme court az
their plant tool; yet when their fancied
security was greatest, the whole fabric
toppled to ruin by the arms Of those
they spurned and despiaed.

Many painful cases Of destitution were
discovered by agents Of She associated char
ihsS in their rounds Every case was bad
enough, but some Of those reported showed
the existence Of degrees OF poverty and
want narrowing in extent and almost be-
yond belief in community like this.
The worst cases were found among white
people. The record shows that the appeals
for help are from four white families 30 one
colored family. The cases are found NOT
only in the outlying and poorer districts Of
the Oity, but in quarters where the casual
observer would think the dwellers were 90
least in comfortable circumstances.
II must be borne in mind, il is said at Che
central Office, that piteous appeals are COM
ingin every day for food, and that shere is
always room for dollar bill TO perform a
mission Of mercy.
Reader, this is statement Of the con-
dition which exists at the capital Of your
nation, Not that il is any worse tohave
this poverty here than elsewhere, butths
contrast is SO much greater. From this
city the president and his cabinet have
taken special interest in sending out
documents calling attention to the "gen-
eral prosperity" that abounds Yet within
sight Of the presidents mansion and
under the shadow Of the dome Of the
capitol, this want and wrstchedness,
hunger and nakedness, ia found. 10 not

The Nicaragua Canal Fraud.

EDITOR ADVOCATED the people OF
the United States propose to tsmely sub
NIT to this infamous plundering scheme
now being pushed by that cold blooded
conspirstor and traitor, John Sherman?
1t might be we'll to remind these robbers
Of the old-time fable Of the goose that
laid the golden eggs, and that they may
carry their schemes of rascality and
plunder little too far. There is not the
least warrant in the constitution of the
United States for any such guarantee as
is proposed to be given these conspira-
tors. Besides, our flag floats over less
than II per cent. Of our ocean commerce
thanks to the craftsmanship ~ Of our
republican party-so that it would be a
gift of S100000000 to foreign ship-own-
ers without any benefit to those out Of
whose pockets the $l0000O,000 would
eventually have to come. And, besides,
if the investment is paying one, monied
men would not be slow in seeing it and
invest their own dollars in it. But the
plan is to rob the taxpayers as was done
in the Pacific railroad swindle and fill
the pockets of some Of the worst traitors
and villains that ever went unhung.
And, by the way, don't it look as if lit
tie old-fashioned hanging Of some Of the
advocates Of these internal bond steals
would be a good thingi Who knows

The Legislature Should Act.

It is to be hoped that the legislature
this session will provide room in the
state house for the library Of the State
Historical Society. 1t is a matter in
which every part Of the state is inter.
ested. The materials Of the history Of
the whole state are being saved in this
library. 1t 10 the most remarkable IL
brary in the country, in that it is pre-
serving the regular issues of all the
newspapers published In Kansas, and has
been for seventeen years past. OfShsw-
nee county, there are now in the library
4S9 volumes Of newspapers, Of years from
1866 to 1893. In all, the library contains
9,054 volumes OF Kansas newspapers.
These have been the free gift to the
state by the publishers. They who gave
them can reasonably demand:that they
should be cared for. These files alone
are worth more to the people Of Kansas
than all the Historical Society has ever
cost tie state. But the library not only
contains newspaper files, but books, pam
phlets, manuscripts, pictures, and num-
berless historical relics. The institution
has created worldwide interest, and
has attracted gifts from every quarter,
until it numbers now upwards of 10000
volumes. The plans Of the state capitol,
made many years ago, make no adequate
provision for this library. For want Of
room large part Of the library has been
crowded into cellar rooms, where it is
stored in packing boxes. A small por-
tion Of the vast room in the capitol
building, il set apart for the use Of this
library now, would accommodate it for
many years. The Legislature should pro-
vide rooms for its immediate use, and
direct that in the completed capitol
building there shall be prepared ample
and suitable room for its future accom-
mediation.

in favor Of the unseating Of j. W. Davis,
of Kiows county, on the grounds Of
bribery, and the sea ing Of J. W. Hair in
his place.
Mr.. Cobun wanted to know how much
Of the state house the outgoing officers
had left, and introduced resolution call
ing for o JOINT committee to investigate
the several state offices and see what
was left.
During a recess the members treated
themselves to q literary entertainment
which consisted of the rendering of
"Shamus O'Brien" (not Edl and some
selections from Julius Cesar by a busted
Irish tragedlan.
Mr.. Semple introduced a bill to create
a court of appeals to stand between the
supreme and the lower courts. 1t pro.
vides for Eve judges and three districts,
with sessions to be held at Topeka,
Hutchinson and Salins. This or a SINH
lar bill win become-a law.
Mrs. Augusta Wilson, who has been
trying for several years to get bill
passed to remunerate her for attending
the New Orleans exhibition in the inter
est Of the state, now wants the legisla-
ture to pass a Columbian exposition
commission, of which she shall be a
member.
In committee Of the whole the house
recommended the passage Of the railroad
committees snti-Pinkerton bill which
imposes fine Of $4,000 on any person
or corporation within the state who en-
ploys a private armed detective force
during strikes or disputes between en-
ployers and their employees. The fine
goes to the school fund in the county in
which it is collected, and the same
amount may be imposed every day that
the law is violated.

THE MISSOURI WAREHOUSE BILL

house bill that is pending in the Mis-
souri, Legislature. The bill is as
follows:
Be it enacted by the general assembly Of
ths state of Missouri as follows:
SECTION /. Section 5607, article 3, chapter
81, of the revised statutes of the state of Mis-
sour, 1889, is hereby repealed, and the fol-
lowing section inserted in lieu thereof, to
read as follows:
SEo. 56O7. All buildings, elevators or ware
houses wherever state grain inspection may
be established in this state, and having ca
pacity Of not less than $4,000 bushels,
erected and operated, or which may here
after be erected and operated, by any per-
son or persons, Copartnership, corporation
or trust, for the purpose Of buying, selling
or storing grain for profit, are hereby de-
Olared pnblic warehouses, and the person or
persons, associations, copartnership, cor
poration or trust owning such building or
buildings, elevator or elevators, warehouse
or warehouses, which are now or may here
after be located or doing business within
this state, as above described, whether said
owners or operators reside within this state
or not, are public warehousemen within the
meaning Of this act.
SIC. 2. Whereas, the meaning as to what
constitutes public warehouse has not here
tofore been properly understood, it creates
an emergency under the constitution; there
fore this act shall take effect and be in force
from and after ite passage.
Grain buyers of Kansas City, Mo-,
fear that, should the law be enacted,
Kansas City, Kas., would capture the
grain business at the mouth of the
ksw by virtue of the more liberal
provisions Of the Kansas law. Speak
ing of the effect of the law, 1T is
stated that a man who is familiar
with the grain business, but whose
name is not given, said:
The disadvantages under which this bill
will place US will be that, by putting all
elevators having capacity of $1,000 bushels
under the control Of the state inspector, we
will be prevented from mixing different
grades of grain for the purpose of making
other grades. We will have to bill the same
grades Of grain that are received. We now
take two or three grades, and by cleaning
and mixing can make higher grade than
some of the grain used in mixing. In that
way we can sell the grain handled at better
prices. That is done across the line under
the Kansas inspection law, and it gives the
grain men there an advantage over US when
we are subject TO state inspection.
We do not pretend to be familiar
with the grain BUSINESS" but query
arises upon reading the above. 1t
may be a good thing for the gram
buyer to mix better with an inferior
grade of wheat in order to make q
"higher grade than some of the
grain used in mixing" 1t may en-
able the grain buyer to realize a
higher average price for all his wheat
than if he would sell each grade on
it's merits; but how about the price
he would pay the farmer who raises
the best grade of wheat? If by mix
ing, the poorer grade is raised, the
better grade must also be lowered by
the same process. Now, do the grain
buyers give the better qualities the
grades to which they are entitled and
pay the price for them which they
