SHOWS CHANCE.
He Is Due Now to Roast the
Court That Tried Hughes.

State Printer Snow in his paper, the
Ottawa Journal of August 18th, wrote
the following:
''There is an item going the rounds of
the press that if Hughes is found guilty
he will be dismissed in disgrace from
the service. We do not know what
foundation there is for such assumption.
but simply have this to say. Hughes is
a very guilty or very innocent man.
Ii the former, his conduct merits severe
punishment; if the latter, it merits the
greatest praise. AS we understand it,
the severest penalty that can be given
is a paltry fine andNan eyanescent i'm
prisonment. The charge against Hughes
is one as grave as grave can be. IL he
be declared guilty, and the court should
let him of with less than the full extent
of the trivial penalty fixed by law, we
shall not hesitate to denounce it as a
farce and Punch and Judy show. The
real penalty for such an offense should
be death, and we understand that when
Hughes was preparing for this trial, he
visited Fl. Riley to get some pointers
from the regular army officers, and that
they gave him cool reception, and in
formed him that if he committed his act
in their service he would certainly be
shot"
Now go ahead, Mr.. Snow, with your
denunciation of the trial as ''farce and
Punch and Judy show" That is exact
1y what it was and all the people know
it, but you dare not say so. Your court
found Hughes guilty, and then only let
him stay out of the job from which the
governor had expelled him. Tear loose
with your denunciation, Mr.. State Print
er. Keep your promise for once and see
how it will seem to you.

SUPPOSE A CASE.
Some Very Binding Reflections
on the Hughes Case.

IL Colonel Hughes was guilty of insub-
ordination in not obeying Governor
Lewelling then he was guilty of an Of
Tense of well nigh the first magnitude.
If he was guilty as found by LEVEL
iing's military court, then he was very
guilty. It is difficult to imagine a
much greater guilt than that OF wanton
disobedience on the part of a military
officer. One who is thus guilty should
be punished and the punishment should
fit the crime.
What did dwellings, court do in the
way of making Hughes punishment fit
his crime? Nothing. Hughes was
merely left just where the governor left
him-out of the service. Why was he
not punished more severly? The court
was between wind and water. It's creator
required conviction and it had to come.
The people would not have tolerated
severe punishment and the court dared
not infict it. Hughes had to be con-
yicted and he had to be permitted to go
free. The farce ended as all knew it
must. The good result OF the trial has
been to more fully win for Hughes the
applause of the people for having de-
clined to obey an order to do an unlaw-
full thing.
In this connection, dear populist
reader, please take time to suppose a
case. Suppose next year when new
governor selected the republican can
didate should be elected by an old fash
toned Kansas majority so that you will
have no donbt of his election much as you
may regretit. Then suppose republican
majority in the senate is also elected by
the same unquestionable vote. Then
suppose the house turns out to have a
majority of populists. Under these cir
cumstances what would you say OF the re-
publican governor should he recognize"
the republican minority In the house as
the proper house and should call on the
troops to take the populist majority from
the house and pitch it into the street,
dead or alive? You would roar like Mag
ara at the brutal injustice OF the thing.

The Newspaper a Necessity.

Corporation Attorney Chamberlain
Of ST. Paul, is gentleman and a
scholar learned in the law. In an
swer to communication from the
Board of Control inquiring whether
that body could lawfully supply the
County Almshouse and City Hospital
with newspapers, he writes that
newspapers are among the neces-
saries of life and may be so pro-
vided.
Of course they are. In this age of
intellect fvod for the mind is as essen
tial to the welfare of civilized man
kind as food for the body. I'm
less he is fully supplied with both
kinds of food he will not stand a fair
chance with his fellows.
The eye is one of the prime neces-
saries. To a person OF imperfect Wis
ion spectacles are necesSarles Of life.
Newspapers are the spectacles-the
telescopes-of the mind, enabling it
to survey the world and know what
is happening in every land. Every
man who does not avail himself of
this WOrld-SWeeplnP field glass Is al
hopeless disadvantage In this age of
free schools when everybody can read
and newspapers are SO cheap as to be
within the easy reach Of the very
poorest.
The newspaper is necessary to the
comfort, prosperity, and mental
growth Of the laborer. the working
woman, the merchant the social
leader Tor follower), the historian, the
politician, the speculator-everybody
above the mental grade of a Kaffir or
a Dahomeyan. 1t is among the
prime necessaries of life, but few
removes in essentially from air,
water, food, and clothing.
Attorney Chamberlaln's opinion is
eminently correct and greatly to his
credit.-MinIeapolis Tribune.

JOINED THE TRUSTY.
The Paper at the Deaf and
Dumb Institution Be-
comes Partisan.

Our readers have already noted the
turning loose of the Trusty newspaper
in the penitentiary as a rabid populist
paper. Nothing is too vile or too bitter
to go into the Trusty SO long as it is on
behalf of the peoples party. The edit
ors are convicts and are safe from suit
or violence on account of their abusive
remarks. The Trusty now has COM
panion sheet in the Star which is pub
lished nominally by the pupils of the
deaf and dumb institution, the man in
charge, the actual editor and publisher,
being appointed by the managers of the
institution. The paper seems now to be
devoted to Mrs. Lease and to peoples
party interests generally. Here is a
sample item:
Lieutenant Governor Daniels says
that he will urge Governor Lewelling
to call an extra session of the Kansas
legislature to appropriate money with
which to purchase seed wheat for the
farmers in the western part Of the state.
Leading politicians, however, seem to
think that no extra session will be called
on account of the republican majority in
the house which would stand in the way
of the populists receiving individual
credit for whatever might be done.
So comes to light the reason why the
governor will not call an extra session
as Mr.. Anxious-to-be Governor Daniels
wants him to do. It is individual cred
it, that the populist bosses want and
not to do good to the needy farmers or
anybody else. This is true fruit of the
populist vine

Inside a Prison Cell.

There is popular idea current that
a convict's cell is in all things a for

desolate. The changing Of closing
grated doors and the click of iron
locks are not pleasant sounds to hear.
and liberty is always sweet, and
the loss of freedom is always pun
ishment-doublY severe with the
thought that confinement is COM
pulsory, says recent visitor to the
Missouri Penitentiary But dissociate
from those cells the mental pain
which results from imprisonment, and
you must recognize that many poor
and honest men sleep in hum bier, less
comfortable, and less pretentious
rooms.
Cell Sc is a fair illustration of the
furnishings of other cellrooms. In
this one there are eleven photographs,
chromos, and steel engravings framed
and hanging on the walls. There are
fifteen books of var :ous kinds, a slate,
papers, a clock, looking glass, four
stools, water pail. wash pan, spit
toon, broom, towels. Bible, and leep-
ing hunks.
Cell 81, the ''parlor" Of the cell
house, is frescoed from top to bot
tom, the walls being nicely decorated,
and besides the comforts which ap-
pear in others there are a birdcage, a
fancy knife-cut miniature castle, an
Oil painting and a magnificent piece
of fancy pen and pencil work in
color.

Successor OF the Old Maid.

The term 'tgirl bachelor" is a new
coinage seemingly destined to take
the place of the WORKOUT 'old maid"
which has long since lost it's sting. il
indeed, it ever had any. The girl
bachelor of to-day is a well-poised,
independent, generally self-suppOrt-
ing young woman, who does not see
in matrimony the chief end and aim
of feminine existence and who finds
in the companionship of other women
the many opportunities for helpful
work all that she needs Plenty OF
the most agreeable social life is to be
seen at her woman's club, which
beneflcent institutions, like mush-
rooms. are springing up all over the
country. Here she meets dozens Of
kindly, pleasant wise, and attractive
women, and thus keeps in touch with
all matters of interest in the literary,
artistic, and social world. Hec own
rooms are also the meeting place OF
many congenial spirits Should she
wish to travel the world is her own
from the north pole to the Pyra-
mids with every modern facility for
seeing and observing within her
reach. All this does not imply that
women are growing avcrse to matri-
mony and family cares, but that many
who are not so constituted as to find
in it their truest happiness are find
ing other channels for their activi-
ties, and are no longer doomed to the
loveless, contracted life of the old
time sold maid"

AIR CASTLES.

built o fair air castle
In the dim long ago,
Upon some distant Island
Nhsr0 skies were blue and low.
And where tho giintfng moonbeams
Were pure and white as snow.
I thought It strong and stately,
And said, "My castle stands
As flrm rs the gray towers
In far OF olden lands,
Where their fair terraced gardens
Are gernmed by golden sands.
Acain l said, THE tempest
Will vainly beat around
The castle TIL and graceful
Upon the isle j found,
For it is built SO steadfast
Upon the soiid ground
The sunlight fell upon it,
And there 1t seemed to be
More fair, more grand and stately,
While far around the sea
Smiled like thing of gladness,
From every sorrow free.
The DAYS went on, and fancy
Still tHined its golden thread,
While warp and wool together
A fairy garment made,
Which round my airy castle
BY unseen hands was spread.
/ know not how il happened.
But one dark, cloudy day,
NY loved air castle vanished,
While all around me lay
The sea, DER which my life boat.
Was speeding fast away.
The island, too, had drifted
Beyond my longing view,
Even its stately palm trees
We're lost in the dim blue,
And was SWIFTLY sailing
In waters rough and new.
Since then my eyes have never
The gay, SWEET island seen,
With it's tall, gilded castle
And feathery palm trees green,
Or the blue puIsing waters
Crowned with their wavy sheen
Perhaps when wears have folded
Their silent wings TO rest,
When life's dim sun is sinking
Down In the placid west,
The days will journey backward
That seemed of life the best.
Perhaps, when angel fingers
Shall firmly clasp my hand,
To lead me where no tempest
Disturbs the peaceful land,
The castle that builded
viii grace the golden strand.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure Deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infiam-
ed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it en-
tirely closes, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.

have been framed on hazy idea
that gold soverigns and bank notes
might be made practically synony
nous. 1t was not perceived that
they could not possibly be made Sc
in practice. The act of 1874, in sc
far as it affects the currency, is AL
ideal unrealized and impractible
1t hangs in the air like the coffin OF
Mohamet, and is only consistent
with itself when the state interposes
to suspend it. Credit currency, in
which the real work of commercial
exchange is now done, possesses
this great advantage over metallic
currency, that it is hampered with
no ideals and no economic axioms
1t has grown up without the confus-
ing assistance of philosophers and
parliamentD. All they can say about
it is there, and it is all awkward
subject to account for.
Nor is there any possible pretense
about credit currency. 1t is that
one thing and nothing more. 1t has
been built up on certain forms OF
credit, and when any part OF its
foundation falls there is smash.
Unlike its privileged rivals it con-
descends to obey the law of gravi-
tudc and asks for no transcendental
reverence. The champions of the
gold sovereign claim for it mystic
power over prices and markets. If
gold is abundant all other commodi-
tiesmust be scarce, and vice versa-a
nonsensical proposition enough when
plainly stated, but the essence of
wisdom when expressed in a scien-
tific formula. In credit currency
paper is paper merely, an instrument
worthless in itself only in connec-
tion with the purpose for which it
has been created. When it has
served that purpose it returns once
more to nothing. 1t can claim no
influence over prices and markets
unless where a conventional value
is given to it by making it legal
tender. But even in that case its
essence is still credit. No govern
ment on earth could compel people
to accept paper money if there was
not an assurance that it would be
redeemed some time or other. There
must be behind it faith in its ulti-
mate conversion into real value.

will continue to develop. If so, thu
disproportion between the numhe
of payments made in metallic money
and in paper money will every yea

This monetary revolution, which
is silently but rapidly going on, will
like revolutions generally, have
mixed consequences. 1t brings ad

promises good, in so far as it may
furnish clearer and more definite
ideas of the function of money. 1t
will be free from the complexities
which have necessarily beset the

thing has to be looked at in various
characters-so some real, some cOnven-
tional and others imaginary. Gold

of qualities. 1t is at the same
moment privileged subject and an
article of commerce, a token and a
thing of intrinsic value. 1t has a
fixed legal price as merchandise. 1t

but for storing up.
People who deal in gold are not
satisfied with enough for their daily
needs. They must always nave a
reserve, and the keeping up OF this
sacred reserve occasions from time

are feeling the way to that relief
not through gold, but through

Credit currency is an undeniably
dubious subject. The orthodox
economist will throw in it's teeth the
ominous word "assignat. The con

represent credit. 1t may be the

does it so we'll as to have driven
metallic money into corner. From
a scientific standpoint it is not good

fundamental rules ofsound currency
1t is not Immediately convertible,
save in theory. If gold were de-
handed for tenth part of the checks
and drafts passed through London
banks in single day it could not be
forthcoming. This credit money
has no special security, and, if an
issuer failed, his promissory notes
would, in most cases, have to rank
against the estate as an ordinary
trade debt. 1t is not under any
special protection or privilege from
the state. Every document stands
on it's own merits, and the measure
of it's value is the credit of the name
it bears.
Though unsecured. unprivileged
and virtually inconvertible, this
credit currency has reached an
enormous development in every
commercirl state, and is rapidly
growing. 1t passes through the
bankers clearing house in London
to the extent of sometimes fifty
million sterling per day. and the
bank clearances in the United States
average six million dollars per day.
