IL spite of the drouth and other dis
couragements the Kansas farmers seem TO
be working their way out of the woods.
Seven years ago 45 per cent. Of the land
in Anderson County was mortgaged at
an average rate of $500 an acre. Now
only 81 per cent. is under mortgage, and
that at an average rate Of $500 an acre.
Anderson is in the eastern part of the
State. and its capital is Garnett.

REDUCTION IN THE PENSION BUREAU

REDUCTION IN THE PENSION BUREAU.
With the work Of the Pension Bureau
years behind, with hundreds of thousands
of claims awaiting adjudication, while
thousands Of claimants are yearly dying
deprived Of their rights by the long delay,
yet it has been found necessary to re-
duce the working force in the Bureau
by 165 clerks. This means most seri-
Gus curtailment of the efficiency of the
Bureau In the transaction Of the bust
ness for which it was created. 1t has
been made imperative by the reduction
Of the appropriations for carrying on the
work Of the Bureau, and therefore the
prime fault lies at the door of the last
Congress, and is another one of the
aggravated sins which make the memory
of that body odious.
There is neither justice nor economy
in this ill-advised parsimony. If men
are entitled TO pensions they should have
them at the earliest moment. To not
make every effort to determine this fact,
and allow the pensions is to enter into
an unboly league with Death to defraud
the creditors of the Nation. Those who
live will have to be paid sometime, and
therefore there is no economy, except
what is saved by killing off the veterans
by hear-breaking disappointment be-
fore their claims can be reached and
settled. 1t is absolutely indefensible
from every point of view.
We viii simply have to wait for the
next Congress to undo this cruel wrong,
'and make such provision as will give
the veterans long-denied justice.

snANpERINcs AMERICAN MANHOOD.

sLANDERING AMERICAN MANHOOD.
When the snob Waring and his friend
the perverted Irishman who edits tn,
New York E0ening Post, traduce thu
GAR, they simply condemn and Willy
the very best manhood this country il
capable of producing.
Beyond all question, the 100000
young men who answered the call of the
Government were the very highest type
of our people. They were the choicest
fruits of our free institutions and Chris
tian civilization; of the training OF
pious fathers and mothers in virtuous,
God-fearing homes; of the best teach
ings of our public schools. The Union
soldier represented the best results of all
these. He was the best man that all
our methods for making good men could
develop. The regiments which marched
from each community took with them
the very best blood in it Only the
shakes and culls" of the young men
remained at home.
If these men were wicked and worth
less, then our whole system of society is
an abject failure IF centuries of free
institutions, centuries Of schools, churches,
pious and patriotic teachings, and all
that go to make us proud of America,
only resulted in the production Of class
of young men who were mercenaries,"
towards" "shirks," malingerers" In
war times, and drunken bummers,"
"pension-thieves," and "besotted peUur-
ers since, then we had better burn our
school-houses, destroy our churches, abol-
ish our form of Government, and put
ourselves under the tutelage of the
japanese, Chinese, or Turks, that they
may develop some manliness in us.
What vile impudence it is for men of
the character of Waring and Godkin to
be heaping these insults upon Ameri-
can manhood. Neither of them has
any reputation for goodness to jus
tify them in passing judgment upon
even the commonest kind of men. God
kin's reputation in New York is that of
common liar, who never hesitates to
misstate any fact in order to make
point. He is usually spoken of by the
other papers as foul-mouthed drab who
will not tell the truth if he thinks lie
will serve better.
As for Waring, be is simply Pharisee
and snob, who has been living for 80
years in the violet-scented atmosphere
of Newport, with crowd whose main
business in life is to persuade themselves
and each other that their wealth and
make them immensely
superior to the common, everyday people
of the country, who are doing its work
and building it up by the sweat of their
brows.
Think Of two such precious Pecksniffs
sitting in judgment upon real Americans

TRUE patriotism is involved in the
unanimous denunciation of the malig-
nant rascal Waring. At this time, when
our institutions are threatened by the
pestilent utterances of Anarchists and
Socialists, such a wicked assault upon
the character of the men who fought for
Law, Order and the National suprem-
acy is particularly vicious and danger
Gus. To attack the fair fame of the
men who upheld the Government in its
greatest crisis is to give the strongest as
sistance to Anarchy. Besides being
knaves, Col. Waring and Larry God
kin are fools to do this. The folly, the
luxury, the snobbish contempt of the
rights and feelings of common people
by the over-rich class which Waring
and Godkin represent are what give
force and point to Anarchist utter
ances. Yet these idiots try to break down
the bulwark which supports the law
that keeps the Anarchists from destroy
ing them. IF the Anarchists should
rise in New York and devote the city to
sack and pillage, the only salvation for
the persons and property of Waring,
Godkin and their class would be in
the law-loving hearts and strong arms of
such men as are now denounced as
4" besotted peJurers," "pension bum
mers," etc.

the center of one of the leading mining sections of the country.
 The examinations that are now being made have been induced by the public licity that has been given to the discov- cries made in these districts. THE RE- PUBLICAN has always believed the only way to promote the development of the mines was to advertise the mining re- sources to which it was desired to at tract attention, and it has steadily adhered to that idea in it's treatment of the mining industry of the territory. It is glad to be able to believe it's work is bearing fruit, and it would urge all in- terested in the prosperity of this section to be dilligent in their efforts to give the widest possible publicity to every development that is of interest.
 The people should be united in sup port of the policy of letting the world know that we have here the best unde- veloped mining territory of which there is any reliable information.

MINING PROSPECTS,

An encouraging sign of the times is that nun Der of prominent mining men are coming into this section to ex- anime properties. All that is needed to make this one of the most prominent inning regions in the United States Is new blood-men who thoroughly under stand modern mining and who do not hesitate to spend money when their judgment advises them that they have good property.
 The mining resources are here, and with development they will astonish the country. It is not to be expected that all who come will feel warranted in taking hold, but if one great miner were to come in, the result would be good enough for one season. The representa- tives of mum Der of large mining com. binations have been in the city within the past few weeks and a number of others have been examining properties in various localities in the territory. We may hope that their investigations will lead to the location in this vicinity of one or more great enterprises. Their operations would soon attract others, and in short time Phoenix would be

NOTHING could be more ridiculous than the assertion of the goldbug papers that silver dollar circulates at it's face value because it is backed up by gold. Silver dollars have circulated at their face value for many years and nobody ever suggested backing them up with gold until two years ago. About $80O,- 100000 in the country and less than $100,000,00 in gold in the treasury. Nice kind of backing up that is. The gold is having all it can do to back up the enbacks and the Sherman notes.

 One thousand dollars IS a small gum to spend on so important matter, and it ought to be subscribed by the prop erty owners in single day.

there is probably none in which the people of that city are more vitally in- terested than that which is following an investigation into the milk question.
 A chemical analysis of the common lacteal merchandise distributed to the citizens of Chicago reveals the appalling fact that it IS laargely from the pump and not the COW that the people are drawing their supposed nourishment and comfort. The water used in dilut- ing is of itself only fair article in qual- ity, and great deal of the prevailing sickness, especially among children, is attributed by the health department to the adulterations of dishonest milk dealers.
 The large death rate among infants under l year of age is largely due. ac- cording to physicians, to the reckless practices of interruptions mllkmen, who have been peddling out an impure watery substitute for what was SUD- posed to be wholesome and nourish. ing article.
 The number of deaths during the heated term has been fr.ghtful, SO much so that the Chicago health department, seconded by an army of enraged par ents, is looking after the imposters sharply, and promises not to rest until there is vigorous prosecution of the offenders.

THE CUBAN "RABBLE,"

| THE CUBAN RABBLE."
 The Spanish minister in this country
 treats with inefable scorn the reports Of insurgent successes in Cuba. He pictures the insurgent army as mis
 erable rabble led by two negroes and one white man, armed chiefly with machetes and prowling about in small
 bands, stealing and firing houses and following guerrilla warfare.
 This is the view which the Spanish government would diffuse, but, even in the war bulletins permitted publication by Gen. Mortinez Campos. there fre- quently occurs mention of "a large and formidable force of rebels" Campos, in fact, has been doing his best to put down this irritating revolt for several months at an expense of $25 100000, and yet the "rabblen hold the eastern portion of the island against 3O,OO0 or 10000 Spanish troops sent to suppress them. and certainly manage in some way to run the blockade and receive supplies. And arrangements are ma- turing in Spain to send 3G,OOO more soldiers to the island within the next three months, and this to put down a "rabble" led by two, negroes and one white man.
 Of course it is possible that the Mad. rid government may succeed in putting down this revolt as it did that of 1868 78, at an enormous cost In blood and treasure, but the chancee are against success. The sugar planters are not willing to quietly witness the destruc. ton of their property and the decline of their business. The production of sugar IS falling off largely this year in Cuba. and when this leading interest is strick- en. it is natural for the war to become very distasteful to the taxpayers, who have to pay very large percentage of the cost of the war. Home rule senti- ment IS increasing in Cuba, and, if Campos does not crush the insurrection Tn the next six months, Cuba is likely to be severed from Spanish control and the Madrid government will regret that the proposition of President Polk 50 years ago for the United States to buy the island for 1oO,OOO, ,OOo was not &C., cepted. Cuban independence means ultimately Cuban independence in the American union. But the island will not become territory or state of the union by any such means as those em. ployed by Folks administration to acquire Texas and to annex other large southwestern territory from Mexico.
