Christian Standard: Mrs. Lease.
of Kansas, delivered an address in
Chicago the other day, which, wheth-
er overdrawn or not, is well calcu-
lated to stir up popular Indignation
and discomfort. She quoted Lincoln
to the purpOrt that the system of con-
tracing debts while two kinds of
money were current, and then max
ing them payable in one kind was a
crime against the people, and declared
That the decentralization of silver was
such crime. She declares this to be
the unspeakable crime of this centu-
tury. The explanation of it was that
congress was hypnotized-a long word
like that can hold good many mean
ingS, you See-by the money power.
Whether true or false, or only partly
true, this sort of preaching is becOm-
ing very common, and its converts
more and more numerous. If it be
not the true gospel of justice and
equality there is no better way to re-
flute it than by the practice of the
true gospel by all who are in author
ity. But Mrs. Lease and her party
are not the only ones who are i'm
pressed with the evils and dangers of
the time. So careful and self-pOised
a man as Lyman Gage told the con-
gresS of bankers and financierS, which
assembled in the same city where
Mrs. Lease was making her speech,
that prisons, poverty, intemperance,
crime, injustice, fear, mutual diStrust
and hatred are the most striking and
painful phenomena of the closing
years Of the nineteenth century"

The Monitor of last week had a
whole lot of crocodile tears to shed
over the miSfOrtuneS Of farm hands
being SOrely oppressed by the farmers.
The farm hands readily recognize that
this disingenuOuS display of sympathy
is for the purpose of influencing their
votes to put lot of dudes into county
offices, hence the argument" will
avail nothing. Besides the only
county from which has come a report
that the farmers were combining to
keep the wages of farm hands down
was Harper, and here is what the
Harper Advocate says:
The fake" that has been travelling
the round of the Republican press
about the Harper county alliance
calling meeting of its organization
at Anthony for the purpose Of regu-
lating the wages of farm labor, is a
lie of the first water"
The old party having no argument
to sustain itself must resort to this
sort of stuff to tickle its adherents,
although it cuts very little figure in
the great issue before the people. If
the farm hands as a class did not
know more about good government
than half the nincOmpOOpS who edit
Republican papers in Kansas, the
hope of the nation would be dark,
but happily they are not so illiterat9
as the editor Of the Monitor thinks.
They know that the way to advance
farm wages is to advance the price
of wheat and other products.

There would be nothing more pleas

ceasing worker in the reform cause

standing Judgment against the old

pany of Abilene in favor of a Mrs.
Amick, and that he accepted a fee
for it. The judgment had been
standing for years and effort had
been made time and again by other
parties to collect it, but up to the
time Noah took hold of it all efforts
had failed. Now there is no way
that the attorney generals office can
enforce the payment of judgments
and there was nothing that Mr.. Allen
could do as assistant attorney general
to help the case. Howbeit, he took
the case as an attorney and was sue.
cessful in collecting the judgment
and was clearly entitled to whatever
fee the parties had contracted to nav
him. 1t has always been the custom
for attorneys to accept cases not in

PlutOcratic newspapers are just
now busily engaged in manufacturing

them one would think the whole

the interviews comes from any one
who would be suspiciOned of having
anything but hard money views. The

respect for the Sherman law; it was
given them as substitute for free

with his own affairs trying to make a
living that he did not claim to be
as well posted on the financial QueS-

THE FINEST"
A Storm Visitation Which Illustrates
Santa FEES Beauties from 4
Climatic Point Of
View.

A light rain fell last night in Santa Fe
and throughout the valley, and on the
mountains to the north and east there was
a heavy snow fall. Between and 10
o'clock this morning one and a quarter
inches of snow fell in the city, but the
genial sun was shining as usual half an
hour later. On the stock ranges this
moisture will prove of incalculable bene-
fit, and everybody welcomes the snow
because of its good effect upon the health
of the community. The coming and
going of this storm fairly illustrates the
attractive features of Santa Fe's superb
climate. Yesterday, according to the
records in the U. S. weather bureau office,
was the second cloudy day that has &C.
Cured in Santa Fe in thirty-five days, and
the total precipitation for two months
pest amounts to less than half an inch,
or, speaking officially, AS of an inch.
This is record that the advocates of
the climatic cure for pulmonary troubles
may well be proud to boast Of. In re-
spect to these things Santa Fe challenges
an honest comparison with any city in
the world.
