A Brilliant Idea.

Now, it is the duty of the senate and
representatives of the general assembly
legislature of the great state OF Kan
sas, to appropriate money to support
the editors OF the reform papers in
Kansas, and give to every family in the
state o. one or more who can read the
benefit Of a reform paper free of charge
and let the people be educated, that
we may be able to roll back this
mighty ocean wave of future darkness
OF degraded slavery of destruction and
ruin that is being forced upon GU.
people by traitors to this go7ernment.-
Garrett Agitator.
Why, of course! That is the idea
exactly, says the lola Register. Let at
least one copy of every populist paper
in the state for of course we don't be-
lieve in discrimination or class legisla-
ton SO it would not do to pick out just
one paper; we must have them all be
sent to every family in the tate,-and
the bill paid by the tax payers! We
want to be 'educated," you know. We
want great, learned broadminded pat
riotic statesmen like the editor OF the
Agitator, to teach us that when the
people elect a republican majority to
the Legislature it is our duty to stand
by Ben Rich while he scrat,hes out
this majority with his lead pencil and Or
ganizes populist legislature Of his own.
We want these great editors to teach
us that a republican who was elected
by majority of 1000 is not eligible to
seat in the legislature because he was
once a postmaster, while populist
who was elected by less than 100 ma
jority is eligible although he was a
postmaster at the time he attempted to
take his seat. We want them to teach
us to 'down the courts" when they
render decision against populist revo-
luton and lawlessness. We want them
to teach us that it is all right and hon.
orable for populists to give brides and
take them provided the price is high
enough. We want them to teach us
that men who have been branded as
political pirates and outcasts for half
generation, have suddenly become pure
and able stateman since joining the
peoples party. We want them to teach
us that we should hate and distrust
and despise everybody but populists.
These are only few of the things we
are all fairly swooning to have taught
to us by the towering geniuses of the
populist press. Let the state start
subscri ption bureau at once.

A Bit of HiStory.

An article in the American Journal
| Of Politics suggests novel mode of
avoiding a treasury deficit. 1t is
that the Secretary of the Treasury
call upon the States to repay the
S2S, 900, 900 surplus which was dis
tributed among them in President
Jackson's time with the understands
ing that it could be reclaimed by the
Government at any time. This sug-
gestion recalls about as foolish a
piece Of government flnanciering as
the Democratic party has been guilty
of, and it has an unbroken record for
foolish finauciering. In 1884, for the
first time in its history, the Govern
ment found itself out of debt, and
shortly afterwards there was a sur
plus in the treasury Of more than
$40, 900, 600, arising from the sale of
public lands. The Democratic party
had been dealing for long time with
debts and deficits, but this was it's
first experience with a surplus, and
Congress began to discuss what to do
with 1T. Various suggestions were
made, and it was finally determined
to deposit all except $4,000, 900 as
loan with the several States, of which
there were then twenty-five. The
amount to be thus distributed
was $37, 468,S19. One-quarter of
the amount was to be paid
every three months. When the first
three-qIarters had been paid a f1nan-
cial tornado swept over the land, the
banks keeping the Government de-
posits failed, and the Government
suddenly found itself on the verge Of
bankruptcy. The situation was so
distressing that special session Of
Congress was called, which voted to
extend the time for business men to
pay their debts and authorized an is
sue of treasury notes to defray the
expenses of the Government. The
Secretary of the Treasury urged Con-.
gress to recall the loans to the States
which had been made the year before,
but it was not done. Inasmuch,
however, as there was no longer any
surplus in the treasury the fourth
quarterly distribution to the States
was not made. Although there was
an understanding at the time the
surplus was thus distributed that it
might be reclaimed by the Govern
ment at any time, it never has been,
and, Of course, never will be. The
surplus disappeared as completely as
if it had been thrown into the sea,
and the Government got nothing to
show for it. 1t was characters tic
piece of Democratic f1nanciering.-

Danger!

II you have a feeling of oppression and IN
easiness a little above the diaphragm, and just
below the right ribs, aggravated by lying on
the right side, look outl AS sure as fate, your
liver is disordered. Perhaps not seriously as
yet, but-fatsl hepatic assesses are not IN
common. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
precise remedy to regulate the liver, and pre-
vent its congestion and Inflammation, and to
dispense such minor indicia of its arrangement
as yellownesS of the skin and ball Of the eye,
furred tongue, sourness Of the breath, nausea
on rising in the morning, dizziness, sick head
ache and constipation. BY relaxing the bowels
painlessly. it opens a channel Of exit for the
superfuous bile, checks a tendency to congeS-
ton and engagement Of the liver, at the same
time giving gentle impetus to its secretive
action, and affords relief to the stomach, which
is usually inactive, out Of order and oppressed
with wind when the bowels are costive. Use
the Bitters also in fever and ague, rheumatism
and kidney troubles.

A POpulist Fake Again Denied.

The populists in this state are still
circulating the lie started by the Tope-
ka State Journal, that the chief of police
of Kansas City, in an interview, said the
following of Sheriff Wilkesron's depu-
ties IN the recent legislature troubles:
"There are at least 1000 thugs, thieves
and desperadoes of Missouri river towns
wearing deputy sheriff badges, and I
can identify at least 300 of them as the
worst class of thugs of Kansas City"
This statement was published in the
Modern Light of Columbus, and ap-
pears in some shape in most peoples
party papers enthusiastically. Editor
Dillman, of the Columbus Advocate
wrote to the chief of police and received
the following reply:

To Launder Cretonne.

Cretonne draperies. as a rule. are
either sent to the professional cleaner
or else ruined by home washing. A
sample of the cretonne should first be
washed in salt and water or in OK
gall and water, to set the color, and
then be dried IN a dark room. None
of the ordinary grades of soap should
be used. The greatest risk in fading
lies in the drying, and a dark room
should always be used for this, If pos
sible. II the colors are not too bright
this method will insure satisfaction.

THE South Carolina sheriff who dis
obeyed an order of the United States
court, relying upon the assurance of
the populist governor that the state
would protect him, is to serve term in
prison. The idea of the populist party
that courts may be despised and over
ridden with impunitY is not more alb
surd than the general run of their doc
trines, but its disastrous consequences
to individuals are more speedily reached
and more impressive.

Cleveland Paws His Debts.


Whenever President Harrison ap.
pointed an editor to Office, a general
Democratic outcry went up that he
was "subsidizing the press" Mug,
wump and Democratic organs say
agely denounced the President fol-
every newspaper appointment that he
made, on the ground that such ap-
pointments were designed to silence
Republican criticism and make every
Republican newspaper serVile sup
porter Of the administration. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that the journals
that expressed such jealous fear lest
the liberties of the press should be
infringed upon did not venture to
utter word Of criticism when Mr..
Cleveland put Hoke Smith, the pro-
prietor Of the leading Cleveland Or
gan of Georgia, into his Cabinet.
These same vociferous champions Of
journalistic independence and uDself-
ishness will now meekly commend
the appointment to the important
Consul Generalship at Paris of Sam
uel +. Morse, the editor of that vehe-
ment Democratic and Cleveland Or
gan, the Indianapolis Sentinel.
1t would be interesting to know
just how many disinterested Demo-
cratic journalists have manifested
their willingness to be subsidized"
by applying for Office under the Cleve-
land administration. 1t will be inter
esting also to note the alacrlty with
which Democratic and Mugwump
journals will repudiate their former
utterances and applaud Mr.. Cleve-
land with dutiful humility whenever
ne pays personal debt by appointing
newspaper patron Of his own to
