BETTER TINES AHEAD.

1t having been settled that Democratic
tariff reform" is dead, beyond possible
resuscitation, and that the Mckinley
schedule viii practically remain in force,
hope reyives in the land, and industries
of every conceivable character are but
waiting the short period remaining for
the final passage of a bill which is TO
leave, practically, everything unchanged
from what they were during the pros
porous days of the Harrison administra>
ton. The uncertainty and doubt which
have threatened the country, since No
vember '92, are disappearing with the
certainty that the present administra-
ton can by no combination of its dis
cordant elements crystalize It's free trade
platform into law.
So distrust and uncertainty which
locked up all of the available capital OF
the country, which closed its factories,
squeezed every conceivable value and
depressed the prices of all products, are
giving way to the faith that is born OF
certainty. In the meantime the strug-
Cling debtor has Cancelled his individual
obligations or otherwise unloaded and
gone to the wall, which leaves the
greatest opportunity for a profitable in
vestment of the sequestered millions
ever offered probably within the MEM
DRY of the present generation. 1t Is
unquestionably true that there is not a
single value known to tie tax list but
that is Offering at figures of greater or
less margin, TO be realized in the very
near future. There is no longer any
chance of making an Improbable in
vestment in anything anywhere in the
entire country. This fact being realized
by everybody, the only thing wanting
being the close of the tariff fight and
adjournment of congress for general
resumption of life and activity all along
the line.
With the tariff discussion out of the
way and the apprehension which it
caused eliminated, the return of prosper
GUS times will be as sudden, in all prob
ability, as was the appearance of the
conditions which, like a cloud, so sud-
denly overshadowed with discourage
ment and distrust every interest Of the
country when the accession to power Of
the Democratic party was announced.
Kansas was never in so good shape for
realizing on renewing opportunities.
There is nothing her people own or con-
troll which is not a good investment TO
either buy or to hold. All her real and
personal properties are held at less than
half their true value, measured by any
ordinary times. 1t is the same in town
and country, everywhere throughout
the state. With good crop prospects
and her inhabitants self-sustaining, re-
turn of confidence and of good times to
the land at large means prosperity for

HOW MONEY GROWS.

One hundred years ago Benjamin
Franklin left legacy of So, 900 to be
held IN trust for 100 years. At the end Of
that time one-haif of the proceeds OF the
trust was to be distributed for educa-
tional and charity purposes, and the
other half was to be held ii trust a Sec
end term Of 100 years and then dis
tributed In like manner. The first term
expired last week, and 1t was found that
the fund had grown into $500, 900, one
half of it being subject to distribution
Chicago Tribune.
These figures show total fund of ex-
actly eighty times the original bequest.
AT the same ratio the remaining princi-
pal of 100000. at the end of the sec
ond term, will foot up $4,000, 900.
Not an insignificant sum to be divided
between few mendicant colleges and
the demands of charity. But, come to
think of it, Grover Cleveland will not
be president during the last decade of
the twentieth century. and it may even
be expected that the recuperatIve ener-
gies of the people will have bridged
them over the disastrous effects of the
reform policy of this administration.
Let us hope that the call for charity will
diminish at even greater ratio than the
above increase over the principal, and
that the entire find may be turned to-
ward the noble cause of ed ucation. But
where will Tammany be? Who will be
wasting oratory on the Wilson bill; and
what of the snug little SUM put away by
a single senator from his deal in sugar
shares? Eighty times $4,000, 0O0-it
makes US dizzy.

YANK. COME HOME.

from the Kansas Cigy Gazette.
In the early days of Junction City we
knew man named 4. I. Owens. He
was known to every body as "Yank" He
removed to Wichita where he became
one of the characters of the town. DE
visited the editor of the Gazette Wednes-
day afternoon, the 18th, and we re-
viewed the years since we first met, and
dissected ali the characters we ever
knew 10 that time. Yank was in his
right mind, because he said he had been
IN Wichita so long that he was very
green. He had friend with him showing
HIM the town. The Wichita EAGLE of
Friday, the 18th, writes him up in a clever
way intimating that he had skipped for
California, and that the reason was that
IN his line of a notary he became pos
sessed of knowledge of an important
transaction. and he did not want 70 be a
witness. We anxiously await further
developments, for Yrnk is entitled TO a
peaceful end among his friends.

WOMEN FOR SOCIALISM.

From the Philadelphia Press.
"And yet it is this socialistic organiza-
ton that the woman suffragistS in Kan
sas have agreed to support in return for
an Endorsement of equal voting priv
ileges. This ought to end all prospect of
the adoption of the woman suffrage
amendment IN Kansas The harm will
not end there, however. The woman
suffrage cause will be injured in every
sta e. The progress it has made during
the few years past will be lost and the
ground will not soon be recovered. The
great majority of women are as much
opposed to civil disorder as the men, and
1T is their misfortune that the cause
many of them have at heart should be
injured by the indiscretion of these kan
sas fanatics

Wellington Mail: The Kansas Deaf

Even the Wichita young men will have to

the relegation of the Wichita statesman.
Mt. Hope Mentor: The EAGLE asks,
'W hat is home without a mother?" and
then answers by saying. "A result of
female suffrage. of course" That's the
