The new ADMINISTRATION in Kansas
went in pledged to readjust the rail-
road assessment which the retiring
administration had materially re-
duced, The new administration re-
deemed its pledges and now the rail
roads are fighting the collection Of
the increased taxes, claiming that 1t
is a political move. Of course it is a
political move; but it is backed by an
expressed demand of the people.
And if the people have not the right
to say what the taxes of corporations
that they permit to exist shall be,
who has that right? The railroads in
Kansas are a queer lot. When the
farmers talk about buying the rail-
roads, they send a lot of fellows over
the state to prove that The roads are
worth 100000 a mile. When the
time for the assessment Of taxes comes
the following spring this figure dis
seminates itself into thin air and the
railroad managers swear that the
roads aren't worth fourth of it.
There is a mistake somewhere. In
the meantime the railroads have not
paid the taxes. They don't propose
to; they have smart lawyers who are
willing to assist in depriYing the state
treasury of its dues for the sake of
being thought "shrewd" in their pro-
fession. But the poor man who finds
his little tax increased 20 or Is Der
cent, though it may mean actual want
for him to meet the increase, has to
raise money somehow or give up his
property. And this action of the
railroads in refusing to pay tho taxes
assessed will make it harder on the
other tax payers, the majority of
whom are poor. Tho money to run
Kansas must come from some where
apd the poor man must make up the
railroads deficit. 1t is no wonder the
railroads coll the increased assess
ment q political move. For that is
what 1t is; with the people on one
side of the line, and the railroads on
the other. kansas City Star.

THERE is no difference between the
position of the present administration
on the silver question and that Of the
last one, as is shown by an article in
the New York Tribune which says,
after referring to that portion of the
presidents message in which he says,
Refusal to redeem the treasury notes
Gin gold would necessarily result in
'their discredit and depreciation as
obligations payable only in silver,
"aud would destroy the party be.
tween the two metals" This is a
complete and honorable vindication
of the policy which was adopted by
the presidents predecessor, which
President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle in their first public statement
on the subject indicated a disposition
to change, but to which they have
since manfully adhered"

The president deserves high honor
for this message, SO free from every
suggestion Of trimming and Compro-
mise at a time when the air is full of
bartering schemes, and so earnest and
strong in its appeal to the good sense
of men of all parties to stop the dread
of vicious action on the money ques-
ton. Multltudes will give him cor
dial approval and support in this
course, who will not be able to go
with him in an attempt to change the
tariff at a time when business and in
dustry are greatly embarrassed, but
who have been contending for many
years for sound currency, for mon
ey universally recognized by all civil
lized countries" against the unceas-
ing opposition Of most Of the presl-
dents political associates. II has not
been easy for him to break from many
friends, who feel that defeat on this
question will be fatal to them. It is
all the more to his credit that he has
not hesItated in his obvious duty, and
strives with his whole influence to rid
the country of the one evil which be
realizes. Without distinction of par.
ty, men who care for the public vel.
fare will sustain him wherever he is
so clearly in the right.-Nev YorI
Tribune.
The above is from Mr.. Reds pape,
the leading one in the republican

ference between the leaders Of the
republican and the democratic party
on the currency question.

IF THE HERALD had intelligence
enouge to read the report Of the rail
road commissioners who are populists
of the most senseess variety, they
would find that we did not pick out
any locality in making our criticism
but can prove just what we said and
our two nickle editor over the
way have no grounds for denying the
statement Dispatch.
Say, Mac, send over the key to the
above CIPHER, SO that the HERALD can
interpret It, as this paper lacks the
intelligence necessary to understand
what you are driving at.

The Resolutions.

The populist Judicial convention at
Oberlin last week adopted the follow.
ing resolutions:
We the peoples party committee on resolutions
beg leave to submit for your consideration the
following resolutions.
let that we do affirm our adherence 10 the prin.
clplos as set forth in the Omaha platform, and we
further affirm and sot forth as our honest conylc.
tons that the principles Of said platform should
obtain In our party rather than the policy that
would lead us TO fuse with or endorse tho action
Of either OF the old parties; therefore DO II
RESOLVED, That we depriCate tbs causes that
led to the late Legislative muddle in our state as
not being In tho line OF craftsmanship or in &C.
cord with organic law, and be It further
RESOLVED That we call especial attention 10
the financial condition Of our country at the pres
ent time.
We wish to emphatlcally declare our honest
conviction that unless something Is apeedily done
in the interest OF the people that financial ruin
will be our lot and we point to our national plat.
form as Offering the only safe and effective rem
edy yet offered for the consideration OF the Amer
lean people.
That we IRE in favor Of the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver in ratio 10 to l. and that We de-
maRd more money at lower rate oflnterest.
In view OF the fact that we as party believe in
equal rights to all and special privileges to none
and as God Is no respecter Of persons neither
should VIC be; therefore VIC declare ourselves In
favor Of the proposed amendment to our state
constitution giving women the right Of suffrage.
De 1t further
RESOLVED, That we are in favor Of just and
and liberal pension to all disabled Union soldiers
and reasonable service pension according to SER

The heightened Topeka club won
its case before the district court, the
judges deciding that the club had
committed no crime, But now the
county attorney is after IL, under the
prohibitory law, and the prospects
arc that the club will go out of busl-
ness. 1he Capital fairly howled
about the first prosecution because it
was brought by populist officials, but
now that q republican county attor-
ney is after them 1t keeps very mum.

SENATOR MANDERsoN of Nebraska,
republican, says that 1.-The proposition
to authorize the secretary Of the
treasury to lend money to the banks,
corporations and individuals on Unit.
ed States bonds as security would in
all probability be adopted and en-
acted into law This scheme, it was
F.. understood, had met the approval OF
many bankers and business men Of
long experience and high financial
standing, and with the authorization
to increase the volume Of the national
bank issue one-tenth would tend to
mitigate the present currency famine
at once. while it would place IN the
hands of the secretary Of the treasury
the power to correct the stringency
in the money market in the future
should condition like that Of the
present arise" Will some kind
friend enlighten the HERALD upon
one point? The people have been
told that the theory of governmental
loans to the people was but the dream
of yisionists, but now comes this emil
nent senator and says that the scheme
is practical one. Wherein does the
senator's plan differ in principle from
that Of the one proposed by the ''land
and loan" scheme Of the popullsts?
One proposed loans to the people on
land, the other on government bonds,
both Of fuctuating values.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-08-23

In view of the great fight in the Brit ish parliament over whether the Irish members shall have the right to vote there after home rule is granted, one is tempted to exclaim: Why have not the British any sense on this question? Why can they not take our American repub- lie for the model of what they want local self government of the separate states and vote on all questions by all the members of congress alike? In order to adapt the system to England, Scot land and Wales it would only be neces- sary to enlarge the powers of the local governing boards till they possessed something like the equivalent of home rule in Ireland. The system would re lieve the British parliament of muct vexatious and tedious local legislation The apology made for the recent
 outbreak in the house of common: Is that the members were so worn out by the strain of the long session in hot weather that their nerves gave way If the country had local self govern ment, parliament would not have & much work.

Three gray haired old fellows are at work in it, making whisky in the way employed in their youth-that is, the same processes and machinery of the same pattern, but not of the same primitive manufacture, This machinery is of polished brass and copper, and wherever possible glass tubes and pipes have been introduced tc enable curious visitors to observe the en, tire process.

A somewhat eccentric dinner was once given in New York by lady who was wearing very deep mourning for her hus- band. The table was decorated in black, purple and white, the napery of course was white. but embroidered with the darkest purple pansies-with the mono gram in black. Silver vases, filled with the same dark flower. were at the cor ners of the table, and the ices and small confectionery were all in violet and white. To make the whole thing con- sistent, the hostess requested all her friends to wear black, and guest who presided at the foot of the table-and afterward, by the way, married the host ess-appeared with broad band of crape around his left arm.-San Francisco Ar ponaut
