The Exports of Gold.

Some alarm has been created in
financial circles by the rapid growth
recently in the bulk of our gold eX-
ports 1t is true that, according to
statistical presidents, the flow of
gold should be in the contrary direc-
tion. Our merchandise exports in
November amounted to S95, 900, 900,
and our imports to S75, 600, 900. Very
naturally we might expect a return
of gold to meet the trade balance Of
$40, 900, 900 in our favor. Instead Of
that, however, our shipments Of gold
to the other side are growing steadily
larger.
A very plausible explanation Of
the present condition is that foreign
holders of American securities have
sent their certificates here for re-
demption, and that the output of
gold is simply in the process Of pay
ing American debts in American
gold to the whilom purchasers Of
American bonds. And it must not
be forgotten that for some time past
both Austria and Russia have been
boarding gold, paying premium to
get it. Russia's purpose in doing this
is not well understood, except that
it be a preparation for war, but Aus
tria is preparing to resume specie
payments, and, consequently, needs
all the gold she can get.

Returns to Plague Them.

Democrats who laughed loudly and
long when President Cleveland placed
the railway mail service under the
protecting wing of civil service legis-
lation are most indignant now be-
caaSe there seems to be probability
Of an extension of the civil service
rules to the Government printing
Office. That a movement which prom
iseS to promote happiness and pros
perity should meet with opposition is
unnaturally natural. Mans inhu-
manity to man is no less marked and
no less cruel than it was when Burns
put his regrets on that score into
verse. Democrats tell heartrending
stories Of misery caused by dismissals
consequent upon the incoming Of the
Harrison administration, and yet
they insist that others shall suffer
similarly or worse, because Mr.. Cleve-
land comes into power next March.
From a purely business standpoint,
the system of quadrennial change is
without reason; viewed through hui
manitarian eyes, it is abominable.-

Kansas DaV Club.

The Kansas Day club, the organza-
tion of young republicans which had it's
birth in Topeka one year ago gave it's
second annual banquet at the Throop
hotel. About $50 of the active, earnest
young men of the republican party,
representing about forty-fve counties
of the state, participated in what proved
to be one of the most enjoyable ban
quets ever given in Topeka. The at
tendance was fully as large as at the
initial banquet Of a year ago.
Eli II. Chandler, of Kansas City,
Kan, secretary of the club, was master
of ceremonies, and introduced the first
speaker of the evening, Hon. Charles E.
Lobdell, member of the legislature from
Lane county.
Address we're made also by Charles s.
Gleed, Will A. White, Ewing Herbert,
@. E. Elliott, Ellsworth ingalls,, Harry
J. Bone, F. B. Dawes, Charles M. Har-
ger, Del Valentine and Harry W. Frost.
A business meeting was held early in
the evening, resulting in the election of
the following officers, all by acclama-
ton:
President-Ewing Herbert, Hiawatha.
Vice Presidents-H. L. Woods, Well
ington; Will T. Walker, Kansas City;
A. L. Sponsler, Hutchinson.
Secretary-AEthur Capper, Topeka.

Official Fees.

The populist state administration off,
GERS are after ex-Secretary William Hig-
gins. They are beginning to substan-
tiate their charges of corruption against
him.
Secretary of State R. s. Osborne, has
discovered that Higgins has appropri-
ated to his own use about $4,000 which
he says should have been paid into the
state treasury.
The session laws of 1891 enacted by
the last legislature in the fees and sala-
ries bill provided that the salary of the
secretary of state should be changed
from $4,000 to $4,000.
The last legislature also passed a law
providing that ''all fees received by any
salaried officer mentioned in this act
shall be accounted for in a monthly de-
tailed statement to the state treasurer,
at which time all such fees shall be
paid into the general fund of the state
treasurer.
Secretary of State Osborne said: "All
OF the state officers are familiar with
these facts, and& apprehend that an in
vestigation will be ordered by the legis-

laturs, which wiz make even greater
discoveries and bring the guilty parties
to justice"
The republican officials who have Just
retired from the state Offices, admit that
they have been receiving feea and that
it was not confined to the secretary Of
states Office, but that the same state Of
affairs existed in the auditors Office.
They justify their action by saying
that the constitution provides that their
salaries shall be neither increased not
diminished during their term of Office
and that the legislature had no right to
pass such law.
They further say that they did nor
take advantage of the law allowing
them each raise of $500 year, and
the receipt OF the fees was in accord
ance with the constitution which said
their salaries should not be increased
nor diminished. This course was
agreed upon at meeting of the state
officers Immediately after the law of
1891 was passed.
Ex-Secretary Higgins says he was
advised to follow the course he did by
Attorney General Ives.

How a Snake Travels.

Art has been as inaccurate in it's
representation of the snake in motion
as of the horse. The snake does not
literally Ego upon his belly" Script
ure to the contrary Notwithstanding,
but upon his side, and his motion re-
suits from the use of the intercostal
muscles in such way as to contract
the ribs on one side at time. By
this process, and in this position, the
snake can run very rapidly, bnt only
for short time. He is quite unable
to glide upon perfectly smooth sur
face, nor is he able, as most persons
suppose, to propel his whole body for
ward and in air when striking.

Faulty Orthography.

Strange to say, Doctor Johnson was
weak in orthngraphy. The spelling
of his letters is very faulty. In those
given in a recent collection we find
Il cannot butt" Pursuance, happy
est, council" "a pleader), "Fryday,"
"solicite," "harrassed, defence, !"
"pamflets, @dos" and "do's" for does,
acknowledgement" "distresful," "per-
sonali," "imbecillity," "enervaiting,
and "deyide." He frequently omitted
the sign of the genitive case, as
Bankers book" Doctors prescrip-
ton" In writing proper names he
often left out the second final conso-
nant, as "Cadel, "Wraxal, "Gastrel,
"Dod," and POT" He never in a
single instance wrote Boswell, but
always Boswell" This he perhaps
did by rule. In like manner he fire.
quently wrote "ilness." This is a
sufficient list of misspelled words,
and might be extended without much
trouble. Thus in writing to Mr.. Ca
dell he says, do not let us teiZe one
another about books" And he
speaks of the Isdraught" instead of
the draft" of an epitaph. There is
no system in his errors, which seem
to arise from sheer carelessness.
There was a time when the Doctor
was keenly sensitive to right spell
ing, as in the memorable incident of
his being charged with emitting the
word ocean" from his dictionary.
Stalking to his shelves, he pulled out
the book, and finding the word, he
pointed it to his critic, with the re-
mark, There, sir; but perhaps your
friend spells ocean with an S."

Silver in the Senate.

The movement to repeal the silver
law of 1890 will be weaker in the
Senate than in the House; but as
both Sherman and Mcpherson are
working actively in that body to
bring about the repeal, the law seems
to be doomed. Congressman Lodge
says that almost every Republican in
the House is in favor Of repeal, and
at least half Of the Democrats are on
the same side. President Harrison

Those Pensions.

The Republicans contend that only
worthy persons are in receipt of pen
sions. The Democrats contend that
enormous frauds have been commit
ted on the country through the Pen
sion Bureau. There is one good way
out of the dilemma. In every ham,
let in the country there is some post
or organization of the G. A. r. Let
the cases of the persons now receiv-
ing relief be submitted to each dis
trict organization for report. We
have much confidence in the G. A.
r. that any cases Of fraud coming to
their notice will be promptly reported.
Besides, the G. A. r. contains Dem
ocrats as we'll as Republicans, and so
the investigation would be non-politi-

Repudiated Free Trade.

A great convention of British Agri-
culturists was held in London, at
which every farmer club or associa-
tion in the United Kingdom was rep
resented. The depressed condition
of the farming interest and its causes
were main matters OF discussion.
Tine following resolution was adopted
by decided majority:
Resolved, That the unfair compe-
tition of untaxed foreign imports
with home produce and manufac-
lures, which are subject to heavy in
ternal taxes, is an anomaly, and does
injustice by causing diminution Of
demand for home labor, and, by con-
tracing the purchasing power of the
country, adversely affects every trade
and industry in the country"
The resolution further declared it
to be the opinion Of the conference
that competing imports should pay a
duty not less than the rate Of taxa
ton on home industry in order to
place them on level with articles Of
home production. A resolution in
favor of bimetallism was also adopted.
A leading speaker, Mr.. Chaplin, said
that: "If he were obliged to choose
between the ruin of farming and the
adoption Of protection he would
choose the latter" And this declara-
tion was received with renewed
cheering.
This rebellion of so large body Of
men of influence greatly troubled the
London Times, which says: "Bimet-
allism, with protection, is an expert
ment that no amount of fair words
will induce the public to try"
The British farmer has had enough
of free trade. The American farmer
may have enough in four years to

A Lovely Policy.

The demoralizing objection to the
sugar bounty is that we are saving
money by it; getting cheaper sugar
and after awhile would manufacture
at home all, or nearly all, we con-
sumo. To avert such direful and
lamentable results the Democrats pro-
pose to abolish the bounty and restore
the tax on sugar. That will raise
the price of sugar and put money in
the pockets of the foreign sugar max
er. A lovely policy, isn't it?

What a Revenue Tariff Means.

Certain people labor under the i'm
preston that free trade and "a tariff
for revenue only" are not synony-
nous. This is a mistake. Free
trade does not imply an absence OF
tariff imposts. 1t means that no
tariff duties shall be levied on for
eign products coming in competition
with domestic products. On foreign
products not Of this description it
recognizes the right to impose duties
as exigency may dictate. Such is the
character Of the free trade policy of
Great Britain. Here is a report Of
the revenue derived from the free
trade tariff of the United Kingdom
for the fiscal year ended March 81,
1891:
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1893-02-11

This is purely "a tariff for revenue
only" and practically free trade as dis
tinguished from protection. Not one
domestic interest obtains an iota of
advantage by means of this schedule.
On the contrary, it imposes posi-
tive tax upon every consumer Of the
foreign articles included in it. In the
United States the breakfast table is
at present free, while in Great Bit
ain, where the distress of the work
ing classes is steadily increasing, it is
burdened with heavy exaction. This
is the Democratic model Of taxation.
The Democratic party, however,

with tea and coffee. In addition we
are promised an income tax to help

cratic party expects its reform"
measures will create. The American
people are in fair way to learn soon
whether revenue tariff is tax or
not, and the experiment will be one
that will not be readily forgotten.

The Monetary Conference.

The course of the British delegates
to the Monetary Conference evidently
illustrates the effects which change

it is clear that some foreign powers
imagine that the recent election in
this country was a complete victory
of those who favor free silver coin

egates have been instructed to do
what they can to render the Confer
ence barren of results. 1t is believed
by the British Government, appar-
emily, that if nothing definite is de-
termined upon by the Conference, our
Government will soon take upon it.

Needs Of the Educational Exhibit.
Though we have raised something
over $4,000 through the contributions
OF the pupils and teachers in the public
and UNCONVENTIONAL schools, this, with
what will be raised from the same
source hereafter, will not be more than
sufficient to put our work in form
creditable to the state. Nearly $500
OF this amount has already been e1-
pended in the work of preparation.
We need from the state through it's
legislature sum sufficient to provide
tables and cases in the state and ma
tional buildings; to cover transporta-
zion OF material to and from Chicago;
to care for and properly explain the ex-
hibits during the six months of the ex-
position; to pay for publishing our
History of Education in Kansas"
Eight thousand dollars would probably
cover the total expense; $4,000 will be
needed for the history alone should we
print 1000 copies for distribution and
exchange. Very truly yours,
