the heir to the kingdom of Italy with

were mortified at their lack of Difference.

Girls Must Not Saunter.
1t is the almost invariable custom Of
women in Europe when they must ap-
pear ON tho street alone to be dressed
very plainly in dark clothes and to walk
rapidly, looking neither to the right nor
the left, if they desire to avoid unpleas-
ant attention. To appear in fine dress,
to saunter along and look in the shop
windows, is always considered an invi-
tation to some of the street loungers to
join them Even should she have an es-
cort, if her dress be very elegant, she
must maintain discreet and dignified
demeanor, or remarks will be made that
would be decidedly unpleasant for her

The farce of an International bimetal-
lie conference seems in fair way of be-
Ing again perpetrated upon the public.
The move is doubtless for the purpose Of
atfOrding to congressman a loophole of
escape when they are called in the COM
ing campaign to comfort their constitu-
ents and explain their votes on silver.
They hope to run the gauntlet on the
plea that they are just waiting for an in
ternational agreement which is about to
be contaminated If the people want
free coinage Of silver at the old ratio the
members of each party should demand
of their candidates this fall a pledge 70
do all in their power to secure that re-
suit, then it would not matter who is
elected The money question is the only
important question before the people.
There need be no fear that the tariff will
be seriously disturbed.

THE silver plank adopted at the Re
publican convention in the seventh dis
trict is a better one than the one on
which Charlie Curtis is to stand in the
fourth district. 1t is a great pity that
the fourth district delegates didn't have
the courage Of their convictions and put
up silver plank with a ring to it. The
one adopted at Newton by the seventh
district Republicans is as follows and is
good enough to put in the state platform:
"We favor bimetallism and are op-
posed to monometalIism, whether of
gold or of silver. We believe that by
wise legislation, the annual output of
the silver mines of our country can be
added to the money of the country, with
out distur bling the equal values of our
gold and silver coin. We are in favor
of gold, silver and paper money coined
and issued by our national government,
interchangeable at par and in volume
sufficient to meet the demands of the
agricultural and commercial interests of
our country"

WE don't hear so much about European
pauper labor, nor about the miserable
pittance of wages" on which the En-
ropean laborer has to live as we used to.
1t seems somewhat out of place to drag in
the European standard of comparison
any more. We don't even have the pit
lance to give to thousands of Iaboring
men. It speaks loudly for. the good
sense of American workingmen that
they have not as yet, at least, gone to
rioting when they felt the pangs of hun
ger, as their brethren in Austria, Bel
gium and France have done. Even the
Coxey movement is better than blood
shed, dear reader, isn't it?

ACTION CHILLED FOR

The army of the commonweal has
come and gone The uncertainty in the
minds of many regarding the make up
OF the movement has been removed
Wherever any one of the numerous
branches of the army has remained
sufficient length of time for the people
to form an estimate of the men accom-
panying it, the verdict has been that
they are workingmen, Of average intelli-
gence and thoroughly in earnest. The
fact is gradually taking shape in the
public mind that these men know in
general way at least, what they want and
that they are determined to go to Wash
ington at any cost, and ask for it They
may differ as to details. general" Cox
ey favoring the building of good roads
and General" Sanders favoring the
building of system of irrigation; but on
one point they are all united and that Is
they want public work of some kind set
on foot.
That the country is filed with idle
men who would work if they could no
one presumes to deny. That congress
has done and is doing absolutely moth
ing to relieve the conditions is equally
certain. These men think they have
remedy. What will congress do about
it?- There Is nowhere else for the peo-
pie to GO with their burdens and con-
gress will be forced to meet this ques-
ton sooner or later. Why don't it do it
now before matters go any further?
There has already been blOodshed in the
northwest; there are likely to be SINH
lar or worse occurrences at any time.
The petition of Mr.. Coxey and his fol-
ers should be taken up by the national
lawmakers at once, and if their scheme
is impracticable, illegal OF inadvisable
they should be so informed and that
would probably end the movement in its
present form.
1t Ii unfortunate in this instance that
a matter of this wind cannot be submit
ted to a direct vote of the people. 1t
could be settled in short order.
The Democratic party cannot hope to
dodge the issue by ignoring it. Every
thing that party has done since it as
sumed control of the government has but
emphasized its total incapacity for
the management of public affairs.
It might redeem itself to some
extent by meeting the Industrial
problem in a fair, open and intelligent
manner. Such a state Of affairs as the
present could not have occurred under a
Republican administration. The RepuE-
lican party always met emergencies half
way.
Casting the blame for present con-
ditions upon the Mckinley tariff law will
not serve any more, for the reason that
congress has convinced the people that
it does not intend to alter that law to any
appreciable extent, if at all.
No, the Democratic party cannot es-
cape the grave responsibility confronting
it. 1t has the senate, the house and the
president 1t can do as it will. 1t must
meet this industrial problem and settle it
somehow or have the verdict of incapaci-
ty already rendered, endorsed even by
its friends and have added to its catalogue
of misdeeds that of criminal negligence.

THE Republicans of Cowley county in
adopting a platform of the six words,

set precedent that it would be well for
other conventions to follow. No matter
how long the resolutions or how involved
the sentences the essence of every polit-
ical declaration is embodied in the above
expression and its adoption as a perma-
manent form would save lots of wear
and tear and an abundance of nervous
energy.

Painful Reproof.
One or two instances, however, came
to my notice that merited the rebukes
they received. A pretty Chicago girl
was stopping at one of the hotels here.
In her journeys about the city she fire.
quently met handsome officer, and be-
ing impressed by his fine appearance
and gorgeous uniform she thought to
make his acquaintance, but knew no
one that could introduce her. She was
equal to the occasion, however, and
immediate vicinity. With great ga11an-
try the Italian gentleman accompanied
her to her hotel, where he was invited
in and presented to her father and in
vited to call He was obliged to refuse
the invitation, however, for his staff
had been ordered to Como and must
leave that evening. Rome thereafter
had no charms for the Chicago girl, and
with her father she soon departed for
Como She employed her time walking,
riding, boating, constantly endeavoring
to learn the whereabouts of the officer.
At last she was successful, and one day
saw him, with a friend, approaching.
With flushed cheeks and bright eyes she
fastened to meet him, bowling elusive
ly The officer raised his hat, stepped
to one side and allowed her to pass
without the faintest glance of recogni-
ton. 1t was most painful reproof, but
it was merited-
Striking and Captivating.
There is something about a martial
uniform that goes straight to the heart
of girl the world over. 1t may be that
brass buttons, tinsel shoulder straps and
dangling sword appeal to her sense of
artistic beauty more than 8 plain civil
ian's uniform does Whatever 1t is. her
choice is always the same. Place before
her two men, one In a plain dress suit
and the other in neat and natty uni
form, and see how quickly her eye will
sparkle with pleasure as it rests on the
uniform, to the utter oblivion of the
plainly dressed man The Italian uni
form is particularly pleasing to the eyes,
being neater than the German or Aus
trian, less gaudy than the French and
less imposing than the English-an as
neat as wax, as if the owner had just
stepped out of bandbox- Add to this
a jaunty air, black mustache, pair of
sparkling black eyes, and-we1l, who
can blame the girl if she does not see
the other man?

dreams when she has been presented to
