of the world today but for the fact
of the interest of the wealthy. Money
as a measure of value is no more i'm
portant than as medium of exchange.
If any one metal is to be both the
standard of measure of values and the
medium of exchange, then England,
and all Europe should be given TO I'M
derstand that the people of the greatest
nation on the earth demand that such
standard and medium shall be silver.
Monometalism with gold as the factor
and there will come to civilization such
q contraction as will prove disastrous.
There is no objection TO the Use OF
gold, but not as the standard. If its
production should fall Off to that de-
gree as to materially enhance its COM
modify value, cut the gold dollar down.
as has been done in the past. Gold
is valuable but too scarce for Il univer-
sal money medium. So diamonds are
valuable but too scarce for CONNER
cial exchange. The dollar is the unit
of value. and it should be of the metal
the most uniformly employed by the
world for its every day business.

THANKS. VERY MANY THANKS.

Wichita has failed to realize much
OF anything but snubs and ignorings
from the last legislature, and from the
present administration. Wichita is
too far away from Topeka. Politi-
cally there is nothing in the state out
side of the northeast eighth, which
lust includes Manhattan and Emporia
within its lines. Topeka is in the
center of the northeast eighth. 1t
was rumored that Wichita was to have
Que of her citizens named as a regent
OF one of the half dozen new normal
schools, but the Iormals failed, as did
her promise OF railway commissioner.
She is too far away from the Missouri
river and Topeka ever TO expect such
thing. For awhile it seemed almost
certain that we had a cinch on the
state COW doctorship, but the COW
must have been too sick TO get well,
and so that cinch turned out to be less
than a crupper. There We're a dozen
other places held out TO Wichita
strongly enough to hold her candidates
at the Copeland long enough to stick
them for round board bills, including
the bills of the lobby of distinguished
statesmen who fingered around for fifty
days offering the state a university
which cost $165,000. A term OF the
appellate court was assigned her on
condition she furnished the state an
acceptable court room, free gratis.
Wichita is gratified that she wasn't
required to board the bench and its
jackleg lawyers. But we will not he
unjust TO the legislature, nor to Cover
nor Morrill,, either, if he will but sign
the bill. We allude to the pension
granted one Covey, who was disabled
i'll the Topeka rebellion, two years ago.
He was only accidently shot, however.
1t viii be remembered that that was a
Pop war; under dwellings admins
tration, and Leweiling is a Wichita
man. For the sake of the conenctiou
Wichita is not glad that Covey was
hurt Wichita is no migrate, and there
fore in the name of her good people
the Eagle offers profuse thanks, very
many thanks, much thanks. If by
any possible chance something should
happen to come this way, or if it
shouldn't, the thanks aforesaid may be
considered as unrecalled.
