"L0St In New York.

On this evening at the Opera
House we will have Il grand scenic
production, Cotton IL Reynu's big
"tank" drama, Lost In New
York" with its river of real water,
real yachts, steamboats, and wealth
of beautiful scenery painted by Mr..
Arthur Voegtlen, of the Madison
Square Theatre, New York. The
Boston ''Globe' says:
The Grand Opera House was
crowded last night by an enthusiast
tic audience, assembled to witness
the return of that realistic melo-
drama, "Lost In New York"
Lost In New York" deals with
almost every phase of life in a me
tropolis like New York, not neglect
ing, of course, the thrilling and SEN
s%ational elements, so much enjoyed
by a good proportion of theatre
goers.
A real river of water, sustaining
a steamboat, ferryboat, rowboats,
marine craft and other objects of
interest, were the chief attractive
features. East River by moonlight
and Gramercy Square, New York,
showing the imposing mansion of
the late President elect Samuel j.
Tilden. New York harbor, with the
city illuminated in the background,
are other life-like scenes well worth
seeing, and were loudly a%pplauded.

WHAT AN OUTRAGE!

Among other things the late New
York republican convention resolved:
While pretending TO be in favor OF indi-
vidusl freedom, il (oongress) has fastened
10 enact an odious income tax bill, en-
powsring deputy collectors to enter the
homes of citizens and compel them by
threats of official summons and heavy pen
alties TO disclose their private affairs
When the assessor makes his an
nusl rounds in the rural districts
does he ever "enter the homes OF cit
izens and compel them to disclose
their private affairsl" How is any
valuation Of property for purposes
of taxation obtained? Are the "pri-
vste sffsirso Of millionsires so much
more sacred than the affairs OF the
common people that it is an unpar-
donable sin to inquire into them ?
Do these fellows object to the In
come tax law on account OF the In
quiry into their private affairs or on
account of the tax they are required
to pay? IT it were not for the pay
ment of their Legitimate share OF tax
alton, would they not rather glory in
the parade Of their vast possessions

MAKE HIM THE ISSUE,

Ex-senator Ingalls, seems to be
trying to groom himself for a sens-
toriaI candidate again. Why don't
the republican managers take him
for an issue? They are sadly in
need of one just now. They have so
far overdone the Doodle and corrup-
tion business that their own people
are disgusted with it, and are call
ing a halt. For instance, the State
Journal, good, orthodox republican
though it is, has the following on
September "a:
When il is thought desirable to abuse q
man in Kansas politics, it ID stated shaS

Kline is q lottery man operating IN hansaS
City, Kas., and has been accused OF giving
away more money Rs bribes than ne ever

Pete Kline's side Of the story.-Atchi-

The above is about true. These Pete
Kline stories that never seem to msterialiEe
into anything tangible are getting fright
fully stale. Pete Kline is always giving
away thousands Of dollars here and thou
sands of dollars there, but nobody ever
seems to know the facts. Now, until some
body does know them a suffering public
bsgs that there be a general drying up on
the subject. When the State Journal pub
fishes a statement, it gets the facts or else II

THE CHAMPION IN ERROR.

One Of the most potent factors in pre-
venting silver coinage is the visionary
scheme Of the PETER school Of politicians
who persistently insist that the dollar rep
resenting debt is better than the dollar
representing the wealth.--AtChison Cham
pion, September 16.
The Champion has the proposition
of what 1t is pleased to term "the Pef-
fer school of politicians" stated pre-
cisely the reverse of what it is. II
there Is one thing in the financial
policy of the nation that this school
of politicians objects to it is the dol
lar that represents debt. The gov
ernment bonds extant represent the
debt of the nation. National bankers
are permitted upon a deposit OF these
bonds with the treasurer OF the
United States, to issue national cur
rency based upon this national debt
This we hold Is a fraud. We say
that instead of thus farming out to
corporations the constitutional pre-
rogative to coin money, congress
should resume this function and ex-
ercise it for the good of all the peo'
pie, basing the money issued upon
the aggregate wealth of the nation
and not upon It's evidences of debt
If the Champion and It's compatriOte
were less blinded by partisan big
otry and we're disposed to treat the
doctrines of political opponents with
fairness it would not make such
ridiculous break as the above.
