Arsenic EaUers.

In Syria and Carinthia there is much
arsenic eating among the peasants; the
women take to it to give themselves a
good complexion and to make their
hair fine and glossy. The men take it
because they believe that it gives them
wind in climbing in the chase after
channels. There is nothing of this sort
in Cornwall and Devon. In Syria and
Carinthia it is known that an arsenic
eater can never be broken of the habit,
and that if arsenic be compulsorily
kept from the eater death rapidly en-
sues 1t is believed in the Tamar-and
this is perhaps true-that an arsenic
worker is fit for no other work He
must remain at this occupation. Health
and breath fail him at other employ
ments. Eventually it may be that
chronic arsenical poisoning ensues, but
this may be STAYED off, if not wholly
prevented, by scrupulous cleanliness,
by care taken not only to wash in the
changing house." but to battle freely
at home. AS one of the foremen said
to the writer: Against arsenic the
best antidote is soap taken externally

UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The supreme court has handed down
a decision on the famous mortgage law
of '93. which has been of considerable
interest to the people of Kansas for
some time. The act was declared I'M
constitutional in so far as it applies to
prior contracts, which practically up
sets the entire law. The law provided
that any person whose property was
sold under execution of mortgage lien
should be granted the right to redeem
his property at any time during eight
cen months succeeding the sale.
The opinion was rendered by Chief
Justice Horton, il being one of his last
acts before retiring from the bench.
Justice Johnson concurring, while
Justice Allen dissents in an able opin-
ION. The decision by Justices Horton
and Johnson is based on the very weak
foundation that 1t violates article l,
section 10 of the national constitution
which says, mo state shall pass any
law impairing the obligation of con-
tracts"
The decision is what we had reason
to expect. The people of Kansas are
sufficiently familiar with Horton-J ohm
son rulings to know that the plain hon
est yeomanry of the state have no
rights worth respecting when our
eastern friends" come before that
tribunal. The people must again stand
back and look helDlessly on the ruins
of judicial tyranny with no other alter
native but to submit. This arbitrary
decision will be direct cause of driv-
ing some of the best citizens from the
state and making many more depend
ant upon public charity. 1t is to be de-
plored that an autocrat court steps in
at this moment and deprives the Kan
sas citizen who has braved the terrors
and hardships of the West for these
many years and built up a state of
which we should all be gratefully
proud, of the last vestige of justice un.
der the law simply to satiate the de
sires of a voracious money absorbiue
establishment. 1t is another instance
in which the liberties of the American
citizen are weighed on one side of thu
balance against a mass of gold on thu
other. When the people thoroughly
arouse themselves and take the matte
in hand and demand their inalienabl,
rights, these judicial outrages will
cease, but not before.

Oatmeal and Oranges

No sort of food is better for the COM
plexion than oatmeal and oranges.
The finest compilations in the world
are those of the Italian and Spanish
ladies, who live largely on coarse
grained food and fruit, like the orange
or banana. 1t is said that the fact is
becoming appreciated, and that some
ladies, to acquire and preserve good
complexion, are living almost entirely
on oranges Half a dozen for break
fast, dozen for lunch, with crust of
bread, glass of milk and saucer of
oatmeal, will bring a complexion of
peach and ivory which will drive almost
any belle out of her head with envy

WHAT bias become of that old fake
story about Ernest Seyd coming over
from England in 1873 and buying the
congress of the U. S. with $500 GOO
1t would work in nice in the present
silver agitation.-Cresset.
THAT old fake" is still going the
rounds. And more than that. it Is true.
1t has been proved and substantiated
over and over again. You can find
men all over the country to-day who
well remember the time and who say
1t was proved short time after COM
mitted. The purported quotation on
free silver by Seyd may be from him
but we reserve the privilege of doubt
ing. But even though Seyd did make
such a hypocritical profession, the
facts are not altered in the least. A
man that will buy q whole congress
won't hesitate TO put up some thin talk
if for nothing else, he would do 1t
simply for cloak to throw off suspi-
ciOn.

made and the public informed of the
fact. they conclude that it is better to
return the stolen property than to face
an action against them for embezzle-
ment, and yet they have been simply
following in the footsteps of their IL
lustrious predecessors, although they
have become somewhat more braZen in
the methods employed, as the following
extract from the Topeka Capital of
April 26, 1892, will show:
There is another reason why Gov
ernor Humphrey should not be indoors
ed by nomination to congress. For
six months he has had borne on the
rolls of the adjutant general, Lewis
Hanback,, at 500 per month, who has
not in the past SIX months done one
hours work In the adjutant general
| office. lie has been kept travelling
about looking after the governors po-
| litical fences, for which services the
governor has drawn orders on the con-
tlngent fund, which is under his per-
sonal control, for $3.50. These orders,
given by the governor, may be examin-
ed by any tax payer, in the state audi
tors Office, as they are among the pub
lie records open TO all citizens. From
December is, 1891, to April %, 1892
Mr.. Hanback, drew, on five vouchers OF
the governor, $3.50 for special services.
etc. When Governor Humphrey sign
ed those vouchers he knew Lew Han
back was receiving 500 per month
! from the state, not one idollar) OF
which he earned. He knew, also. that
the private political work Lew Han
back was doing and is dong to day for
| him on the $50 he drew on Monday.
April %, was not an expenditure of the
mOney of the state warranted by ext
gencieS Of the public service or contem.
plated By law. 1t was not honest to
wards taxpayers, nor was it Just TO
ward the party that has honored Gov
ernOr Humphrey overm uch already
Talk about serving the republican par
ty with such shystering politics as
this.''
The governor referred to in the above
article visited Colorado at one time &C
cOmDanied by several of his henchmen
1t was supposed they went on fishing
excursion, gotten up on the same plaI
as the one Senator Rogers is alleged tt
have engaged in some years ago, where
it is said there was more beer than fish
and when the party returned, voucher!

So there has always been lot of Pc
litical parasites and "reGeemers'' il
Kansas who had to be carried on tn
pay roll of the state to save them from
being either inmates Of the penitentia
~ or the poor house.
This IS but a sample of the work tina
has been conducted for years by tn
gang whose rallying cry has been
stand up for Kansas" Redeem tn

VERITAS

THE SILVER ISSUE,

1t is now conceded by all men that
the silver question is the paramount is
sue in political circles. The time has
come when the line must be drawn be-
tween the gold monometallist and the
free silverite. No one can remain neu-
trail on this all important topic and call
himself good citizen. Nor are there
many to be found who have not fixed
opinion on this subject. 1t Is fact
noteworthy of mention that over three
fourths of the voting population of the
nation are today clamoring for and de-
manding the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver at the ratio of l6 to !, but
are held in subsection and allegiance by
party pride and prejudice. Among 9th.
er fallacious theories advanced by gold
standard advocates, is that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver would
demonetize gold. This is a method of
false reasoning employed by the gold
spectators to divide the people. The
fact is that the advocates and friends of
free silver demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of both goIa and SalUer and
not, as our gold standard friends vainly
endeayor to make 1t appear, to Danish
gold from the country. Yet we say
that even though the free Coinage of
silver would have q tendency to de-
monetize gold (which it has been prov
ed by actual experiment prior to 1873
aud otherwise,:it would mott and make
silver the sole and only monetary unit
and measure of value, and give us in
fact silver basis, it would be far more
preferable than the present gold basis
system. The arguments pro and con
on the question have been widely diffus-
ed among the masses and. as we have
said before, the great majority have ar.
rived at conclusion !. e. the free coin,
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to | viii
ill long felt want in our financial
system. The only question that nov
remains is how TO get this desired leg
islation. Both cid parties have bee,
tried and have failed 20 restore silver a.
money of the people. AS n conse
quence two new parties have sprun;
up, the peoples party aud the bimetalli
or silver party. The former part,
framed platform at Omaha, July 4
1892, demanding those things whicl
constitute freedom and tend towar
the liberation of the human race
On the other hand, the silver party pre-
poses to stand on the one and onl
plank Of free silver. There is no qaeS
tion but that the combined forces G
these two parties can sweep the cour
try like whirlwind in 1895 If they ca
only be urged to work in unity and no
in opposition. The only way 10 brin
about harmony between the two pal
ties is the holding of a conferenc
which should be attended by as man
members of both, as possible, and
platform framed looking after the lead
ing vital issues. Unnecessary, let til
peoples party concede something hU
by 10 means let our rarty be absorbe
by the transient silver party. Such
movement would be suiSide,

COST OF SILVER AND GOLD.

Give Us Absolute, Full Legal Tender, In
convertible Paper Money.
The gentlemen opposed to the free
coinage of silver say that the silver in
a dollar was produced for Al cents.
Suppose it is so. What of that? Home
stake Mining Co., of Black Hills, the
largest producer of gold in the world,
has its business so systematized that
every ton of ore milled averages So at
cost of S1.61.
So 81 of gold costs 80 cents Take off
your government fiat, and which COM
modify would be worth the more-gold
costing 81 cents, or silver costing Al
cents?-Denver Road.
If the above is true, will the Road
give US plausible reason why a gov
eminent of the people should confer or
the producers of gold and silver the
special privilege of using the govern.
ment stamp on an amount of metal that
costs Al and 50 cents and thereby Civ
ing it a purchasing power of one hun
dred cents; that too while the pro-
ducers of all other commodities must
compete in the worlds markets where
the value of commodities are deter
mined by cost of production? Are the
l1CC PGOp1C 0lAAlAS OldI U1C
producers of wheat and rye shall take
an amount that only costs s1.61 and
make it by the government stamp
$500? Not much. And wheat and rye
are much more valuable to humanity
than gold and silver; then, too, remem
Der that in the mining of the gold and
silver labor only gets sl.Gl and S2.06 re-
spectively, and the rich mine owners
would get So. 80 and 1924 profit out of
every five dollars worth, after the gov
ernment confers the special privilege of
free coinage. Free coinage people seem
to have a warm spot.in their hearts for
mine owners. The pretense that it
helps other producers, won't work. 1t
is the same scheme of protection to
American labor" When plutocracy
has a scheme it always works it under
the pretense of helping labor. We need
Iaere money. We need basis for mon
| ey that that can't be cornered. Then
issue legal tender paper money based
on all commodities. including gold and
| silver if you wish: then money can't be
cornered, and no class will have a
| special privilege, and the mine owner
! will have To take his chances with the
rest.
