WHEN MODS BECOME RULERS

SIT is false that we first fired a blank
charge; it had been waste of life to do
that, SAID Napoleon in speaking Of the
day when he blasted a Partisan
mob off the earth with a Whit of crane
shot.
After six years of terror and chaos
Paris found a man who planted the
cannon before mob of 40, 900 and said
fire" and meant fire
These cannons with which Napoleon
swept away the mob were small. If
this country had them today they would
sell them to a junk shop. With the
Hotchkiss rifle and the sweeping Calling
gun mob choked up in a narrow city
street could not stand three minutes. A
mob can not successfully combat the
army of the United States, small as that
army is. This country can not be over
thrown by mob violence on that account.
The president of the United States
with military forces behind him is a ter
rible power. He cannot be overcome
by the people, except at the ballot box.
This is one thing that mobs must
learn, and mobs have recently become
common in this country. II we are to
do as the French dO-rectifv wrongs and
express our sentiments through mobs.
we have a sorry road before us. BIobs
have their origin in large cities. The
government at Washington realizes this
for General Schofield is and has been
for months massing the United States
troops at points near the larger cities.
All the troops recently sent to Chicago
from the west will stay in the east.
Those from Kansas will be stationed at
Fort Sheridan, twenty miles above Chi
cagO. This massing of troops around
large cities may result in the discontInu-
ance and abandonment of several posts
in the west.
The government, it can be seen from
this, recognizes the mob spirit and means
TO deal vigorously with IT,
However if 1t is the public temper to
riot, the public Will riot. But so long
as the president of the United States is
the commander -in-chief of the army
and navy, and SO long as he is a firm.
decisive official, the government will
stand before the mobs. When the mobs
become strong enough to control the
ballot and elect a president in favor Of
mobs then the mobs Will rule and the
government viii tumble. 1t VIII come
up again is q monarchy.
When this government falls the great
est republic in the world goes down and
men VIII give up republics as failures.

STICK TO YOUR TEXT,

The Republican state central COM
mittee should not mix up with the
female suffrage question to any notice
able extent. 1t is not one Of their
| things. The convention that chose
| them as a committee refused 10 put
female suffrage in the platform. The
Pop committee will no doubt look after
| that bias. Mrs. Foster is a bright
woman who has managed TO keep her
husband well provided for politically.
Mrs. Johns is also capable of looking
after the political interests of her hus-
band. But the majority of the Repnb-
lican women Of Kansas, having no use
for female suffrage, their husbands will
not be particularly edited in tae en-
ployment of women stumpers by the
Republican central committee. When
we say that the great majority Of the
wives and daughters of the Republicans
of Kansas are opposed to female suf-
frage, of course it is only an individual
opinion, but 1t is based-on a good deal
of personal enquiry and observation.
For instance the wives of the Republi-
can candidates for governor and for
lieutenant governor respectively, are
opposed to female suffrage. They are
both very bright, intelligent and well
posted women, one of them enjoying
more than common opportunities for
many years, for studying the effects Of
political life. 1t is little short of shock
ing, if not disgusting, to the average
Republican to read Of a string OF women
leaving their homes and going to To-
peka to "tender their public services III
stumping the state for the Republican
partyp Its subterfuge. These women
only desire such recognition because of
the increased importance it Will lend
them as representatives, of female suf-
frage. They seek recognition and an
Endorsement by implication. The bur-
den Of their speeches will not be for the
principles of the Republican party, but
that female suffrage is a non-partisan
measure-as much Republican as any
thing. They viii not bring one vote to
the ticket, but may lose the party many.
Everyone of these women are ambitious
for Office, especially for public notoriety,
and they don't care how female suffrage
comes, so it but comes in their day. As
for them, their daughters and sons, if
they should ever have any-the posi-
bilities of the angel that visited Abra-
ham and his wife Sarah ever invading
the Kansas camp Of female suffragists
being very remote-can take care of
themselves. In brief, the Kansas state
Republican central committee had bet
ter not mix up and distract the present
campaign with a lot of women whom
the Pops are only particularly anxious
to hear.

SUBSTITUTES FOR MONEY.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The collection of coins, or more ex-
sctly speaking, the articles which have
passed for money in different countries
and in different ages of the world, at
the national museum is complete one
and well repays one for visit. The
earliest American coins are believed to
have been those made by Cortez, by
permission of the Spanish government,
and were issued about the time of the
death of Columbus, which occurred in
1900. They are of copper, and on the
one side Is a representation of the
''Pillars of Hercules" Next in point
OF time comes the money for Bermuda,
which was minted in England. These
coins are of copper, of the value of
shilling and sixpence, and on one face
is the picture of a hog, hence it is
known as the hog money" The early
settlers of these islands found so many
of these animals roaming about that
they used it to mark the coin. Only
one sixpence and two shilling pieces of
this money is believed to exist, and
both are owned in Boston. Among the
oddities of the collection is the
''knife money" of the Chinese, used
about the commencement of the
Christian era. The pieces are
SHAPED something like razor,
about six inches long, are of copper,
and worth about eight cents. Ring
money" is another curious variety,
which was used by the early Gauls and
Britons. In those days, as there were
no banks and safe deposit companies, it
was the fashion to carry all ones
wealth upon ones person. The amount
was wrought into ornaments of various
designs, but of a fixed standard OF
weight, and were frequently made in
two or three parts, which could be
readily separated and used as change.
But coins of the different metals have
not been the only articles which have
been used as money. Salt nodded into
bricks OF a fixed size and weight is
used in countries where this necessity
of life is hard to obtain and far mora
valuable to the people than any metal,
no matter how precious. Tea, pressed
into squares, is used very largely in
Siberia, and the price of this COM
modify regulates the price of every
thing else. Tobacco was the money in
the Virginia colony, and the New En-
CHAMBERS were so hard up for something
to use in exchange that corn, goldfish
and peas served as a medium. Good
lead bullets paid many debt in rsvo-
lutionary times, though in a number Of
the colonies copper had been coined.
The shells which are used as money by
the south sea islanders and in parts of
Africa form an important exhibit at
The museum, and the study of the
money of the world as represented
there gives an excellent idea of the de-
gree of civilization which nations have
attained.

IF PETER WOULD COME HOME.


PETERS motion TO abolish congress
seems to have been lost in the din of re-
sounding arms CT the smoke of burning
cars at Chicago. Senator Davis of Min
nesota gave PETERS seditious speech a
blast, but beyond that it seems that it
did not create ripple farther than looks
of astonishment from his colleagues. In
their amazement at the Kansas man S
talk they seemed undetermined whether
to bolt for the cloak room, or to boldly
sit it out. The white froth dripping
from his cleaning teeth and lodging on
his swaying whiszers like snowflakes on
blades of withered grass, the tension
must have been akin TO that of watching
the izzling fuse of bomb stuffed with
unknown terrors. 1t would do no good
