GRATING BY WHOLESALE.
Record Breaking Operation Performed by
Kansas City Surgeon.

Record Breaking Operation Performed by
Kansas City Surgeon.
Local surgeons discussed with much
interest yesterday the account which was
telegraphed from Chicago to The Times
of the skin grating operation beingper-
formed upon Mrs. w. W. Blake at the
Mercy hospital. The dispatch stated that
70 square inches of cuticle had been
taken from Mr.. Blake's body and sue
tessfully grated upon his wife's arms,
and added that this was the largest
quantity of skin ever sacrificed by one
person for the benefit of another.
The latter statement is possibly cor
rect, but a similar operation Of much
greater difficulty and magnitude has just
been performed at the Missouri Pacific
hospital in this city by DR.. George Hamel,
The patient is man named McCarthy,
who was injured recently in railway
accident, and DR.. Hamel found it neces-
sary to remove no less than 258 square
inches of skin from various parts of the
mans body and graft it upon his injured
legs. Each piece of skin was about three
inches long and from one to two inches
wide. The operation has been success
full in every respect, and although Nc
Carthy is still in the hospital he is de-
tanned there by other injuries than to his
legs. The quantity of skin used in this
case is said to be much greater than any
other known to surgical records.
Mccarthy has been visited by many
physicians, and his case has excited much
interest. He will be discharged from the
hospital within few days.-Kansas City

DR., Hale on the Crash of 1898.

In 1884 DR.. Edward Everett Hale's
novel of 'sThe Fortunes of Rachel" was
first published. The novel runs to the
end Of the century, and in the year 1900
Tom Poore at Washington reviews the
last 20 years of the nineteenth century.
He says in this review: "The shares rose
again steadily for five years, when I sold
again. The crash of 1898 came, and ev-
erybody supposed manufacturing was at
an end. At the lowest depression
bought Stocking shares again. When
the company wound up two years ago
lin 1889, the shares yielded $8,O5O, and
here it is" We reprint the passage from
the novel for the benefit of investors in

Queer Story of Teeth Extraction.

A novel suit is liable to be begun at
Superior by P. A. Viles, father of Retta
Viles, II years old, against the Electric
company. About four weeks ago the
girl, in running, struck her cheek against
2 guy wire Of one Of the poles along
which the electric lighting wires are
strung. The girls attorney says that
the guy wire had become charged by in
duction and that the shock pulled three
Of her teeth-two molars and bicuspid.
Her face was sore for several days, but
has now recovered, except that the skin
is somewhat scared. There was no pain
at the time the teeth were pulled. Mil

TREASURY DRPARTMBNT,
OFBICR OF THR SRCRRTARY.

WASHINGTON, D. O., August 10, 1893.
SIR:-Referring to our conversation rela-
tive to the probable cost incident to the
change from the present coming ratio be-
tween gold and silver Il TO 16 for the stand
ard dollaEs and TO 14.95 for subsidiary sill.
ver) TO ratio Of TO 20, you are respect
fully informed shat the number of silver
dollars coined since 1878 aggregates 419, $780,
450.
Without any allowance for abrasion,
therefore, the loss incident to melting the
same, the coinage value Of these dollars at
ratio Of / 70 20 would be $3S3, 90, 1852, or
$84, ,110,228 less than their present face
value
To reOOin these dollars at q ratio OF TO
20 would require the addition Of 81, 200
ounces of new bullion, which, az the aver
age price paid for silver under the aOt of
July IA, 1890, ($o931l) would cost $75, 1885,
700.
In addition 10 this, estimate that there
would be a lOSs BY abrasion and in the
melting Of these dollars Of at least million
dollars, which amount, together with the
difference in the face value of the coins
1884, ITO, ,288), would have to be reimbursed
20 the treasury by an appropriation for that
purpose.
From che fact that the silver dollars are
distributed throughout the country, it
would be necessary, as they are redeemed
at the several gub-tPeasuries, TO transport
them to the mints, and the expense Of
transportation for 300 million dollars, the
amount outside the stock on hand at the
sub treasures and mints at Philadelphia,
San Francisco and New Orleans would aver
age ab least IL Per cent, or $4,500,0O0.
/, therefore, estimate the cost Of FeOoin-
ing the silver dollars already coined as fol-
lows:

The stock Of subsidiary coin in the coun-
try is estimsted at n million dollars,
which, al full weight, would contain 55,-
699, 1915 ounces Of fine silver. This amount
at che ratio Of 10 20 would coin $685.
500, or $2l, ,156, 1877 less than the present face
value.
To reOoin "a million dollars Of subsidiary
silver into an equal amount of fractional
coin al q ratio Of TO 20 would require the
addition Of Is, ,797, ,625 fine ounces, which, at
9SH cents per fine ounce, the average price
paid for silver under the cot Of July IA, 1850,
would cast S17, 6287s5.

years, al least for our mints to
effect it, and in the meantime none Of
the new silver bullion produced could
be coined and added to the currency
OF the country.
~ The existing silver coins
would necessarily be Immediately
Withdrawn from circulation for the
purpose Of recoinage, thereby con-
traCting the circulating medium to
just the extent Of the existing silver
currency.
% The reCoinsge of this silver at
the ratio Of 20 to would result in
restoring to circulation, at the end of
the seven years, just one-fourth less
dollars than we now have, inssmuch
as each dollar would contain one
fourth more silver.
(4 During the special session Of
congress, when this question of
change Of ratio was contemplated by
some members in order ''to preserve
the parity of the two metals" in
quiry was made by Senator Voor-
hees Of the secretary Of the treasury
concerning the cost Of such coinage.
The secretary's reply may be found
on pages 8H and 355 of the Record
Of that session, and is as follows:
The advocate., 1894-06-27

Instead Of the use of money being
dependent upon q existing pros
porous condition of the people, pros
perlty can only come from the use Of
money in all the productive indus
tries of the country. The use of
money comes first; prosperity after
wards as a result Of the activity
which the free use Of money insures.
Mr.. Morrilps ignorance of political
economy is humillating.
GOOD MONEY.
By this q national banker always
means gold or national bank notes
secured by government bonds. Money
that goes to the people without pay
ing tribute to bankers is not by them
considered good money. These men,
since the first issue of government
currency, have wsged unceasing war
upon it, and they will never be satis-
fed until the last dollar OF such
money is destroyed. This is a con-
test of the people on the one side for
money TO be furnished directly to
themselves, and the bankers on the
other for the exclusive privilege Of
controlling the currency Of the coun-
try and drawing interest upon every
dollar that goes into circulation; and
this is one of the issues that is In
volved in this campaign.
PARITY.
This is the key note of republican
and democratic policy alike upon the
silver question. 'The parity of the
two metals must be preserved" This
is all there is in tie platforms of the
two parties, and Major Morrill, echoes
the nonsensicsl phrase in his speech.
What does 1t mean? In reality it
means that gold alone shall be the
currency Of the country, and if silver
is used for subsidiary coin 1t shall be
at It's commercial value in gold. In
other words the silver dollar shall
contain 100 cents worth Of silver at
its commercial value in gold in the
worlds markets.
Now let us examine this PROPOSE.
tion by the light Of reason and COM
mon sense instead of the light re-
Aected from Wall street through
Major Morrill,. For the purposes Of
our illustration it does not matter
what may be the actual ratio Of Sl-
YER to gold now necessary in order to
establish their parity of commercial
value. Let us suppose it to be 20 to
instead Of 16 to l, which is now the
legal ratio. This is not the correct
ratio at this time, but it will serve
for the illustration we wish to give.
Should the legal ratio be changed,
as was proposed by Mr.. Bland in the
special session of congress which re-
pealed the Sherman act, the first
thing that would be necessary to do
would be to RECON- all the silver
coins now in existence to make them
conform to the new ratio established

among those who observe critically.
The superficial observers are those who
know nothing Of Kansas except what theJ
find in the crime and freak departments o.
tho big papers. The newspapers must sell
il they desire TO live; they must be inter.
esting If they desire to sell; to be interest

il is entirely natural shat che news from
Kansas should nearly always be limited &c
sensations Of the "red hot" kind. Every
managing editor has his mind made up &c
accept and print anything, no matter how
extraordinary, If IL only has q Kansas date

what che superficial observers Judge by.
The second class Of observers are those
who pay little attention TO what the papers
contain, but yet have only a hearssy, SEQ
Ond-hand knowledge Kansas matters.
The third class is made up of those who
have actual, close business knowledge Oi

study the sGatiStistiCs, are able TO intelli
gently compare net results in Kansas Will
net results elsewhere, know that Kansas il

The number of these careful observers ID
inCreaing rapidly, and when the papers
cease from looking 10 Kansas for sensa-
tional news solely, our general reputation
will be Of the highest everywhere.
Here is che whole story in q nut.
shell. The only way in which the
reputation Of Kansas has ever suf-
fered, even in the minds of :;"the su-
perfcial observers" is through the
fake writer's and correspondents Of
the republican and democratic news
papers, and Major Morrill, begins
his campaign by joining this disrep-
utable crowd and adding his testi.
mony to theirs to tear down the good
name Of the state Of which he seeks
to be governor. Mr.. Gleed says,
however, that intelligent, thoughtful,
well-informsd people do not believe
these fake writer's, and notwithstand'
ing their efforts to bring the state
into disrepute, les reputation with all
such people Is ranked with the very
first" Major Morrill, will not raise
himself in the estimation, either oi
the people Of Kansas OF Of the coun
try at large, by joining the defamerl
of his state and attempting to de
stroy it's good name. The voters o,
Kansas are not in search Of that kline
Of q redeemer.
MORE MONEY.
Upon this question Major Morril
said:
There Is just as much money in the oOun
try az ever. Il is boarded in the banks TO
the reason that the scare Is not all over. Il
times like these no one uses money, Whilr
In prosperous times there Ia q constant de-
mand for money from all directions,

THM KEYNOTE OF THE REPUBLICAN,
CAMPAIGN.

tho republican party for governor OF
Kansas sounded the keynote Of the
campaign in speech at Kansas City,
Kan, Saturday evening, June 16.
Every republican paper and CAM
paign speaker is now expected to fall
in line with the thought and the pol
icy indicated by the chosen leader Of
Che party. It ls proper, therefore,
that we examine the leading thought
OF the speaker on the occasion re-
ferred to in order to determine how
far the policy outlined is adapted to
the interests Of our state.
THE REPUTATION OF THE STATE.
The first statement in that speech
to which we would would call atten-
tion Is the reference to the reputation
Of the state abroad. Major Morrill,
said:
The reputation Of the state abroad has
beCome 20 bad that men are ashamed Of
The present place occupied BY the state; and
mon who fought 10 make Kansas what she
ought TO be are compelled TO hang their
heads In shame as they hear the disgrace Of
Che state sold at home and abroad.
Major Morrill, is seeking to become
governor of q state Of whose reputs-
tion he is ashamed. He fails to tell
his hearers, however, what has
brought the state into this disgrace;
and he offers no evidence Of his state.
ment To begin with, then, 1T may
be denied without fear OF successful
contradiction that there is any basis
for the statement. Kansas is not in
disgrace. Her reputation never was
better than ct this moment. Her
banks and her business interests guf-
fered less during the late bankers
panic than almost any state in the
union, and are in better condition
to-day to withstand future difficulties
than almost any other.
That there has been a persistent
effort to bring the state into disre-
pute no one will deny; and inssmuOh
as Major Morrill, failed to tell the
people who has sought to bring about
this disgrace we will repeat what we
published a short time ago upon this
subject from good republican author
ity. Mr.. Charles s. Gleed, the man
who was selected by the republican
league Of Kansas two years ago to
furnish brains for republican editors,
writing to State Secretary Of Agri-
culture F. D. Ooburn gives just the
information that Major Morrill, fails
10 give. On April 4, 1894, Mr.. Co
burn wrote Mr.. Gleed the following
letter:
Mr.. Charles s. GIccd, Topeka, Kos:
MY DXAR SIR:-H&ving observed the fire.
