A Jolly Old Mayor.

Don Jose Galendo. mayor of the city
Of Alba, is in parlous plight indeed.
News from Madrid proclaims that his
worship has been taking unreasonable
liberties with the public treasures and
has in fact been proved guilty of cit
distinct forgeries, robberies and so forth.
The penalty for each separate crime is IA
years imprisonment, and as sentences do
not run concurrently by Spanish law
poor Don Jose must go to prison for s,03S
years. This would amount to life sem

INSTEAD of issuing greenbacks, the
government issues bonds. These bonds
are sold to Shylock. He deposits them
with the government, to be held in
trust. Uncle Sam kindly endorses old
ShyiOck's notes to the amount of 80
per cent of the face value of the bonds.
These notes old Shylock takes home
with him and loans out at usury, all
the way from to "a per cent to his
less fortunate neighbOrs. True, he
pays a tax on these notes Of l per
cent, but this is merely to cover the
cost of engraving and printing Of the
notes. In the meantime his bonds ON
deposit with the government are
drawing interest, and besides, they
are nom taxable. No wonder old Shy
lock considers the national banking
system the best the world ever saw
for him 1t ia, goes without saying.
But Uncle Sam might better issue his
own notes and save millions upon mil
lions Of interest.-Chicdgo Free Trader.

STATE ELECTION.

The republican papers of this state,
following their usual custom Of brag-
glng over the first returns from the
towns, are claiming with great .bluster
that the state has gone repub-
lican, the populists annihilated, ETC.,
just as they did after the election OF
1891. Notwithstanding their buster.
however, Mr.. Brown, chairman Of the
republican state central committee,
admits that the returns indicate that
the pOpullsts have cast a relatively
greater vote than they did in 1891.
It is conceded that a large per cent
of the democratic vote went to the
republicans. Where straight demo-
cratic tickets had been placed in the
field the Cleveland democrats of the
towns did not vote for it,. The straight
democratic tickets were put up simply
to catch the country democrats, while
the democrats Of the towns voted the
republican ticket. Even where there
was formal fusion between the
democrats and pOpulists, all the
Clevelnad democrats voted the repub-
lican ticket and in those counties also
a large number Of populists who were
opposed to fusion, either did not vote
at all or voted with the republicans.
The full returns will show that the
populists won in a number of counties
over the combined vote of the repub-
licans and Cleveland democrats, and
in the remainder of the counties
either elected part of their ticket or
were defeated by a close vote, and
further that the total populist vote
was larger than in 1891.

THE COUNTY ELECTIONS.

The county elections in Kansas have
been held and in few days the result
will he accurately ascertained. At
present it appears that the republicans
have gained some of the Offices in
counties where the opposition has been
bitterly divided. But n comparison OF
the votes of all parties with the vote
of last year, shows that the republi-
cans have not gained in the long run,
and have nothing to crow over. The
democrats and populists have made
equally as significant gains in their
vote, and, taking the situation as a
whole, we are inclined to say that it
was about a draw, with the advan.
tage with the opposition, inasmuch
as the combined vote of the dem
ocrats and populists has been ma
terially increased. It must be taken
into calculation that in seventy-nine,
out of the 100 counties, there were
three tickets in the field, whereas last
year there was a combination of the
opposition to the republicans in every
county. The result shows that wher-
ever there was q harmonious union of
forces between the democrats and
populists, the result was quite favor
able. We believe when the aggregate
vote is known, which cannot be until
the official returns are published, it
will be found that the democratic and
pOpulist vote combined will exceed
that Of the republicans.-Iopeka Press.

THE old theory that gold and silver

SPEAKING of the democratic defeat,

SPEAKING of the democratic defeats
in the eastern states, the Denver Ne,os
says: "Such tidal wave of defeat
has not overwhelmed an admlnistra-
ton for forty years. The defeat does
not mean approval of republican prin-
ciples.: The people, rather, rebelled
against Cleveland's despotism, his sub
mission to British domination in Amer
lean finances, his disregard of the peo-
pie and their interests, and his COM
plete surrender to the moneyed classes.
The work of the peoples party has
just commenced. Its mission has
been made palmer, and the disorgani-
zation in the ranks of the old parties
must greatly strengthen its influence
and power to command support"

voice here and there raised in protest.
There is more reform literature pur.
chased now in one week than in ten

BANKERS PROGRAM;

OankS ana allow Them 10 use the
national, state and other bonds as q
basis for their notes. The bankers
are fixing things to suit themselves.
Cleveland has heard from nine-tenths
of the bankers of all the big cities of
the country. They run Grover and
Grover through ''judicious" distribu-
ton of patronage, runs congress.
But, it is strange that this admins
tration would admit that the govern
ment has the power to issue green
backs-and if the greenbacks are so
good and safe in time of trouble why
would they not be good in time of clear
sailing?
The milk in the cocanut is simply
this, and nothing more: Shylock
wants the right to issue all paper mon
ey, and unless the people awake he
will do SO. Every thinking man con-
ceds the right of Uncle Sam to issue
greenbacks-but Shylock intends that
Uncle Sam shall delegate the power to
him. With silver Zone half our metal
lie money! out of the way, and Shy
lock vested with the control of the
volume of paper money, he can the
more easily and quickly bring on a
panic and set things booming, as best
suits his desires.
And every thinking man knows full
| we'll that the present panic is but a
conspiracy on the part of the money
mongers. They simply called in their
loans and refused to make new ones.
They locked up the currency of the
country and insisted that the Sherman
purchase law was responsible for it all;
that the coinage of ''cheap' silver dol
lars destroyed confidence" that 'con-
ddence" would be restored by getting
down to gold basis; gold for the
bondholder, and instead of cheap" sill
yer still cheaper wild cats for the peo-
pie.
| But here's another beautiful propo-
sition by old shylock. He is perfectly
willing, IN order to make the new style
wild cats good" that Uncle Sam
shall have general supervision over the
state banks. as he now has over the
national banks. This is only the wood
pile, the "nigger" is that Uncle Sam
shall redeem them in gold!
Did you ever!
Think of it! The bankers are to be
given the privilege of using govern
mert, state and other bonds as basis
and then their notes are to be redeem
able in gold. Shortly after the pas
sage of such law wild cats would be
as plentiful as dead leaves in a forest
after Jack Frost had gotten in his
work. A lot of them would be pre-
sented and gold demanded. Uncle
Sans reserve would get low; lower than
even now. coincidence" would van
ish; bonds would have to be issued to
get back the gold and restore ''confi-
dence." Then few million wild cats
would descend upon the treasury again
and confidence" would again &c
glimmering. More bonds would need
to be issued to restore confidence. :"
1t would be a confidence" game all
through and the people would be con-
fdenced at every turn.-Ch,cago Free
