The Topeka Journal (Rep, } OF last
Friday says: The house committee
on telephone and telegraph to-day
killed Senator Lands bills reducing
telegraph charges nearly so per cent
and giving the board ofrailroad COM
misSioners authority to prepare a
maximum express rate schedule.
Evidently the lobby didn't like the
bills, and the house feared there was
some good in them for the people,

The Topeka Capital pays high
compliment to Congressman-at-
Large Harris, and says "his speech
against the Pacific railroad funding
bill was one Of the very rare speeches
nowadays, that made practical i'm
preston on the house, and changed
votes" The Capital escapes giving
him credit as a Populist, however,
by CHASING him as a Democrat. A
whole lot more Democrats like COL.
Harris could find favor with the
PopuliSts. He is one Of the grand
est men in the country today.

City Marshal Newman located a

cause it to be discontinued. If not,
the law recently passed against
gambling, will be enforced. This law

The Kansas City Star commends
the Kansas legislature for sitting
down on all railroad legislation and
has only one regret-that they did
not repeal the ubiquitous mortgage
law which was put on the statute
books in day Of demagogy." 1t is
not difficult to discern in whose in
terest the Star is published-the
railroad and banking corporations.
1t is refreshing to hear the Star con-
fess, however, that "the senate was
conceded by stalwart Republicans to
the best legislative body of the two"

LITERARY NOTES.

Four replies to Coins Financial School' are before me The first is A Freak in Finance, or The Boy Teacher Taught" by l. F. Corgill, who takes up the statements of MT. Harvey seriatim and disputes their correctness. He argues that the sil- yer dollar was not made the unit by the act of 1792; that the two coins were never quite Interchangeable in value; that in periods when gold was of greater value it disappeared from circulation, and that the same thing happened to silver when gold was cheapened by it's increased produc- tion; that Germany actually demon etized silver by her act of 1871; that in 1870 it became evident to the E1ro- pean nations that the increase in the quantity of silver was becoming so great that it was likely to depreciate in value, and this feeling prompted the action of the countries in the Latin Union in stoppingf coinage. The book is illustrated ill the style of Coins Financial School"

AN attempted answer of some of Secretary Carlisle's convincing ar gumeuts on the currency question would be far more creditable to the State press than ridiculing the Sec retary because of some inconsist- ency in his position on that ques- tion. Some of these would-be critics if convinced that their position on a subject was wrong, would not even have sense enough to change their course.

 "Coin Ut School in Finance, is by George F. Roberts. Like the book noted above, it presents the subject in the style of Mir Harvey. and is embellished with pictures to serve as object lessons \ group of men, in cluding farmers, merchants, mechan- ies, ete., fell to discussing Coins theories in Iowa A travelling sales maa supported the theories and the others @ave facts witEih their own business experiences to convert them. The farmer quoted prices to show that there had been no decline in farm products since 1sI3; theengineer quoted rates to show the reduction in the cost of transportation: the merchant to show reduction in re- tailer's profits. They went into the question of farm and factory nachin- cry, and concluded that they had in- tiuenced prices more than the finan- cial legislation, and that wages have tended upward and commodities downward. Finally they agreed to invite Coin to visit them and lecture, and when he appeared they com pletely overthrow both his facts and his theories.

Stanley Woods answer to Coins Financial School is also written in a style to catch the popular ear, and is Illustrated by Frank Bond with pictures of the same character. The author takes up the leading state ments of Coin and attacks them one bS one. He holds that silver was demOnetized in 1853; that the act of 1873 was in no wise Il secret one; that there was no need of secrecy since the silver dollar had not been in circula- ton since 1S60 Being worth more than gold, no one was clamoring for silver dollars with which to pay debts. 1t was only after 1876. when their value had fallen below loo cents in gold that the cries went up to Heaven for silver dollars with which to scale down indebtedness. He argues the question of unit, shows how the ratio between silver and gold has changed. dwells upon the increased production of silver and claims that Coin has greatly exag- gerated the evils of the present de- pression and mistakes the cause.

THERE is decided difference be. tween party and partisans, politics and politicians, statesmen aud office-seekers. We, the people, need our party, with it's organization and machinery, to elect Presidents and Governors and Senators with, and cannot possibly suffer it to be knocked to pieces to gratify the per sonal ambitious, jealousies or re- venges of individuals, however much admired and honored they may be
