An Inaugural Ball.

Those republicans who belong to the
society element Of the republican party
are right when they demand an insug-
urAl ball. They have reason to believe
that what the people want is general
hilarity 30 that il will be easy to make
themselves believe they are prosperous
and happy. Two years ago @ meeting
was held in Topeka for the purpose Of
preparing for inauguration, and the
matter Of having q ball was disposed Of
by the following resolutions adopted
there:
Resolved, That the recent political VIC
tory was won By the plain people Of Kan
Bas, and was victory against mammon
worship in all it's forms; was in truth but
one battle in the irrepressible conflict be-
tween the people and all that greed, which

able society, with it's OstentatiOus display Of

those who earned it starve. Inaugural GER
emOnles carried on by fashionable society
and under It's ostentation Of dress and ex-
pense, would be exceedingly inappro-
PIRATE, and highly distssteful to
all friends of genuine social
and political reform. And further
Resolved, That tho plain people Of Kan

oalamities overtake nations and men.
Another fact Of equal notoriety ia
that very few see the impending
evil till it strikes. It is strangely
true, also, that the few who have seen
the coming danger, and have lifted their
voices in warning, have been derided
and prosecuted by the many. It was 10
in Nosh's time and during all the pro-
phetiC periods. It has been so In modern
times. Fifty years ago the men who Rd-
Vocsted the abolition Of slavery were
perseOuted as disturbers Of the peace.
Ministers who preached against slavery
and warned the people Of the coming
storm were denounced as political preach
ers and driven from their pulpits. But
the storm came. 1t has come in ell
ages. It will come again.
According to the census reports, made
by republican officials, there were mil
lion tenant farmers in this country in
1880, and million and half in 1890.
In New York city only four men in 100
own their homes free Of encumbrance.
In cities Of Kansas Of 5000 population
and upwards only twsnty-four in 100
own their homes free of encumbrance.
OF Kansas farmers only thirty-one in 100
own their farms free Of encumbrsnce.
Do not these census facts show that we
are rapidly approaching o period when
we shall be nation Of landlords and
tenants? Is not the money Of this couD-

In q great speech delivered in the
United States senate on January IA,
1891, John j. Ingalls,, critiuising the
financial policy Of this government, said:
"a financial system, under which more
than one.hRlE Of the enormous wealth Of
the country, derived from the bounty Of
nature and the labor Of all, is owned by
q little more that 10000 people, while l
million American citizens, able and will
ing to toll, are homeless tramps, starving
for bread, requires adjustment. A social
system which offers to tender, Virtuous
and dependent women the alternative
between prostitution and suicide az an
escape from beggery is organized crime
for which some day unrslenting justice
will demand stonement and sxpiation."
Since that speech was delivered many
thousands Of homes, in country and city,
have passed from the possession Of their
owners into the hands of capitalists I'M

Of dollars, earned by the masses, have
passed into the hands of q few money
lenders, and more than 2 millions of men
and women have been thrown out OF en-
ployment to become tramps, beRgsrs,
and criminals. Can the reader see no

A Coal Tariff Picture.

In dealing with the subject of
free coal in his speech ON the tariff
measure Mr.. Wilson stated that the
protection" did not go to the coal
miner-as every coal miner knows
nor to the coal operator-as every
coal operator knows. Mr.. Wilson
stated that it was simply a bounty
to railroad corporations.
1t has been stated that coal is
carried by the railroads cheaper
than anything else This may be,
bat railroad men and coal operators
know that Mr.. Wilson is right.
Coal is carried cheaply, but it
can be, and is, carried much cheap
er when occasion demands. For in
stance, West Virginia coal is sold
in Chicago for less than the same
road-which, by the way, is Mr.. M.
E. Ingalls, road, the G. & CASKS
for carrying it to Richmond, Va,
about one-third the distance. In
gals could not carry this coal to
Chicago if he lost money by it. He
is not in the railroad and coal min
ing business for sweet charity s
sake and doesn't haul coal to Chi
cago for about one third the price he
charges for taking it to Richmond
for the benefit of the Chicago poor.
1t is, also, a noticeable fact that
whenever the price of coal goes up
the railroad freight rates go up in
proportion. In other words the big
railroads have the coal operators
and miners at their mercy. What
ever profit there is in the business
they take the lions share of, and
the operators, who are not also rail
road owners, like Mr.. Ingalls,, can
not help themselves.
Free trade in coal, as every coal
operator in West Virginia knows,
will not injure any mine in the State
They may not make more profits
with free coal, for the railroads al
ready take every cent they can get,
but they will do more business, EN-.
ploy more men, develop more mines
and make more money.
A tariff does not benefit the min
err or the operator one whit, nor will
its removal injure them. Coal will
continue to be mined, and railroads
will continue to carry it for as much
as they can get.-Register.

Mr.. Wilson's Health.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January %
While the report is true that Mr..
Wilson is in bad health and that he
had hemorrhage few nights ago,
his friends have been treasured by
the fact that there has been no symp-
tom of recurrence of the trouble,
and they now think it was due more
to the nervous strain to which he has
been subjected for long time than
to any serious affection of the lunes
or throat. The hard work and con-
slant strain Mr.. Wilson has passed
through in the last four months has
undoubtedly affected his general
health, which has never been very
robust. and he feels the need of a
rest, but will not be able to take one
before the tariff bill passes theHouse.
When that is accomplished both Mr..
Wilson and Mr. Tarsney, of Missouri,
another member of the committee
are thinking of taking a sea voyage
to Europe, thus getting about two
weeks of complete rest on the ocean.

The condition Of Spruce street has
been the subject of much comment
every winter for years past.
It's condition is not very creiita-
BILE to any town. 1t looks more like
a mud road through country viii
lage.
Moreover it is question whether
the unusual number of cases of dis
ease occurring on that street are
not directly attributable TO the lack
of drainage
The portion of the street extend
ing from north of Fenton Rice's
south to the public school lot, is q
dirty, stagnant, desease breeding
bog 1t is absolutely without drain
age; for although there are side
drains, the street is so fiat that the
fluids do not get into them. They
stand in the road until great mud
holes are made which serve to hold
the filth until it is finally absorbed
into the bed of the road and then
evaporated into the atmosphere dur
ing the summer months to be breath
ed by the residents and generate dis
ease.
The mere sight of that street
ought to he enough to stimulate the
the town authorities to improve it.
Even at this time, when there has
been but little winter to make it bad,
it is almost impossible for anything
but strong road cart. IL is repul-
sive and unpleasant to look upon.
We grant that good deal of stone
has been distributed along this bog
from year to year, but it has been
done with very little judgment. The
street ought to be Systematically
graded and drained, SO that repairs
would be permanent and effective.
1t is a good place to begin to repair
with brick paving. That would be
the cheapest way to repair that
street. We hope to see the new
Council begin operations along that
line.

The present Republican OK


The present Republican expecta-
tion is to go into the congressional
campaign with the cry of Calamity
and capture the next Congress on
the fraudulent plea that the demo
cratic attempt to reform the curren
cy and the tariff is the cause of all
the business troubles the country
has suffered. That dishonest and
utterly irrational pretense will have
just as much success as the Demo
cratic majority in the Senate choose
to give it and no more. If the Will
son bill is speedily enacted the
wheels OF industry and trade will at
once begin to move again, and with
increasing momentum, and long be.
fore next September the Republican
calamity cry will die on the lips of
the leaders who are now so busily
repeating it. On the other hand, if
the bill is made the foot ball of an
other weary and dreary debate like
that on the silver bill, and the bust
ness of the country is thereby kept
hanging over the ragged edge of I'M
certainty until midsummer, the Re
publican party will go into the fall
campaign with all its armor furnish
ed and all its ammunition wagons
supplied by Democratic folly and
failure.

Talked to Farmers,

At the Ohio County Farmers In.
stitute held at Elm Grove a few DAYS
ago Drs. Myers, DeRoode and Rane
were present, and of their remarks the
lntelligencer says:
"The organization was addressed
by Prof. Rane; subject, "Some Small
Fruits Worthy of More Attention. y
He advised the average farmer to
market in dry state and gave pri-
ces per pound and product per acre
of the black cap variety The pro-
lessor advised the cultivation of the
currant and gooseberry. Growers
were advised to use arsenites to de-
stroy the currant worm, and also
hellebore Questions by Mr.. Har-
vcy elected the information that
white hellebore should be used in a
dry form and applied early in the
morning while the bushes were wet
with dew. WEDNESDAY afternoon S
session opened by an address by
Prof j. A. Myers; subject, Farm
Organization" The speaker said
the first thing a farmer should do is
to decide what branch of farming he
will pursue, and then organize his
forces for this purpose The profits
of the farm depend largely on the
plans of the farmer. The speaker
advised the farmers to stick to the
farms. Make no investments where
you are not certain of fair profit"
Then followed a paper by Prof. De
Roode on THE Chemistry of the
Soil" Drainage, tillage and prepa
ration of the sol must first be at
tended to before the chemical condi-
tion is looked after. This was an
able paper and received close atten-
tion as the speaker described the
work of the chemistry. The ques-
ton of ABSORPTION and waste in ap-
plying fertilizers was discussed by
DR.. De Roode.

A SENSATION

One of the most sensational and
important arrests that has been
made in this city for several years
was made shortly after noon to day.
The arrest was primarily the result
OF the vigilance of Mr.. Howard Haz-
lett, of the firm of Simpson & Haz-
lett, and by it's scheme to swindle
the bankers of this city through
means of forged orders of the coun-
ty of Wetzel was frustrated, and B.
Earnshaw, a prominent citizen of
that county, and for six years a
member of the Wetzel county court,
is held for committing the forgeries,
The case appears to be very clear

doubt of Earnshaw's guilt.

known in Wetzel county is man
with record. He was a member of
the Wetzel county court for six
years and was president of it at the
time it was alleged that the electoral
ballots in the hands of the county
commissioners were tempered with,
Pendleton's name being substituted
for Atkinson's. The Republicans at
that time charged that Earnshaw
was party to the crime, but the
facts were never brought out. His
arrest will create profound sensa-
tion. There is a belief that there
were other parties besides Earnshaw
implicated in the forgeries and it is
likely that another arrest will be
made.
