THE Topeka State Journal (Rep.) would
like to know why the government cannot issue
greenbacks direct, instead of guaranteeing the
issue of national banks, and then cut off the
issue of bonds. Says the Journal: 'The in
terest on bonds would pay the expense of
very elaborate system of government banking"
By the way we want to say that the Topeka
State Journal is the fairest and best Republican
paper published in the West. Bro. MacLennan
cannot resist the temptation to occasionally say
something ugly about the Populists, and we
think he occasionally distorts the truth to gain
point, but, generally speaking, he is very fair,
and though he may not know it, he is dissent
mating many of the doctrines of Populism
which doctrines are pure Lincoln Republican
ism or Jefersonian Democracy. We would say
to those of our readers who insist on taking an
old-party paper, ''just to see what the other
fellows are saying" take the State Journal in
preference to such infamous, lying sheets as the
Capital, the editor of which has no regard for
truth or decency
THERE are devices without number for plum
dering the people, and one of those devices is
the retirement of officers of the navy at the age
of sixty-two, and of the army at sixty-four, on
half-pay. Just why these men, educated at the
expense of the nation, and paid $500 per year
while at school, and given good salaries until
they are sixty-two and sixty-four years old re-
spective1y, should be retired on half-pay for the
remainder of their lives, does not appear clear
to us. Their pay per annu1n is much greater
than is that of most citizens in private life, and
who must provide themselves with the necessi-
ties of old age If the private citizen spends prod
igally the result of his labor, old age will find
him in straitened circumstances. Those receiv-
ing fixed incomes should be taught to provide
for old age by giving them to understand that
this nation will not provide for spendthrifts.
There is no good reason why it should. Lop
off the parasites.

very largely, no doubt, to its almost I'M.

of view it is entitled to the consideration
