AT THE REUNIONS.

Some of the Kansas soldies reun-

circuses. Old Dick Blue, the most
ignorant man in Kansas, comes on
and gives them the anti-silVer speech
with which he started in last cam
paign, before Cy Leland told him he
must talk silver ingalls, then does
a turn on the trapeze and winds up
by talking free coinage and prOtec-
ton with an occasional remark COM
plimentary to President Cleveland
Then Rev. Barney Kelly sp-
pears with blood in his eye, and
proceeds to skin everybody except
the audience. He says If Dick Blue
had talked such nonsense during the
campaign he would have been
showed under by 10000 majority.
And he has no use for Cleveland and
some other things that Ingalls, fan

and the other state house frauds, the

A PLAIN ILLUSTRATION.

A dishonest loan agent, represent
ing dishonest loan company, could
go into almost any neighborhOOd in
the state, and find one or more men
who were reckless enough to accept
all the money they could borrow on
their property, knowing that the
property was not worth it.
Suppose that each township in
the state had furnished one case in
which local loan agent and a prop
erty owner had stood together to
effect su0h a transaction; and sup
pose the agent should take all these
mortgages east and sell them to one
firm Of mortgage brokers. The in
terest would fall due and would not
be paid. The mortgages would fall
due with the same result. The hold
ers of the mortgages would come
back on the local agents who had
guaranteed payment and find them
'busted." A general howl would go
upthat the Kansas people were a dis
honest set Of repudistOrg, while as a
fact nine.tenths Of them are plod-
ding along trying to pay their hon
est debts.
This is not all that might be sup
posed. The busted" loan agents
and bankers go into the redeeming
business and stand up for Kansas
with their mouths wide open, telling
how Kansas has been slsndered and
maligned by the cslsmityltes. Then
they send agents east to quietly tell
the mortage owners that Kansas is
sure enough in a hard row Of stumps,
and that the best thing they can do
is to get whatever they can out Of
their alleged securities, and charge
the balance up to profit and loss.
This game has been worked to a
finish in all the best agricultural
states of the West, while each year
a mob of big-mouthed stump speak
ers are turned loose to exhort the
people to stand up for their state and
kill the hyds-hesded monster of Ca
lamity.

The Cost of Textbooks,

The Chicago Board of Education,
while investigating the proposition
to buy textbooks directly from the
publishers and supply them at cost
to the children, secured some strik-
ing testimony. The agent of the
American Book Company submitted
an estimate that not more than 800,-
600 copies OF different textbooks
were in the hands of pupils in the
Chicago public schools, and that the
yearly expenditure for text books
was therefore in the neighborhood of
$4,000. The present profits Of
Chicago school dealers, he con-
tinued, were merely in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, and each child
would save only six and one half
cents year if he bought his books
at wholesale instead of retail rates.
When, however, this witness was
asked the cost of textbooks per child
in St. Louis, where the Board makes
the purchases from the publishers,
he answered that it was 81 cents a
pupil. A member of the Board
promptly figured that each child in
Chicago was paying 70 cents a year
for his books if the ltotal expendi-
ture was S150,OO0 year, and asked
the witness to explain the difference.
The explanation, says the Chicago
"Times-Herald," was In no way sat-
isfactory. A resolution was passed
directing the clerk of the Board to
write to st. Louis and other cities
where the Board of Education buys
the xt-books and distributes them
directly among the pupils, for all
data bearing on the subiect.-The

The Frauds in Augusta,

The frauds of illegal registering
complained of by the Populists OF
Augusta, seems to be we'll founded,
and every effort has been brought to
bear on the good people Of that city
to condemn this outrageous conduct,
but so far it has not been needed to
any great extent. It is true that q
few of the best element of Augusta
have expressed themselves as favor
ing fair aud honest registration, yet
they take no active part in stopping
the dirty work now going on in that
city by ward heelers. Let the bus
mess men of Augusta take this mat
ter in hand and see to it that
honest, square dealing is done in the
registering of voters. Are the hon.
est men of Augusta going to sit idly
by and let men who have no regard
for law, honesty and integrity, ma
nipulate and prostitute the ballot box
as 1t is now being charged is being
done? If SO, it will eventually sound
the death knell to that once pros
porous city.
The day Of fraud and corruption
in our body politics must end, and
the sooner the better. There is too
much at stake to allow this open
violation to law and order to longer
exist. There are numerous remedies
whereby an end can be put to this
evil, and now while time is plenty it
would be well for the best element
composing the Democratic party in
Augusta to see to it that a square
deal is made. The people are in no
humor to be tempered with in this
matter. This election is one of
great interest, because it was brought
about for the purpose of purifying
the ballot box, and forever putting
down the disgraceful outrages per-
trated at the ballot box in this Dis
trict in 1894.
Mr.. Black resigned his seat in Con-
gress because it was so plain that he
had been elected by fraud and the
agreement between him and Mr..
Watson was for the purpose of
having an honest ballot and a fair
count, and now the honest people of
both parties should demand it.

Our Chinese Missionaries.

The Washington Post says of our
missionaries in China: owe hay'
on all occasions main tanned the prop
osi.ion that our missionary work il
China is failure. In this we are
supported by the testimony Of trav-
elers, merchants, naval officers, and
representatives OF the civil branch Of
our government. The Chinese peo-
pie do not want the Christian relig-
ion. They have never given it the
slightest encouragement, and we see
now that, for the sternest restraint
of authority, they would be unwijl-
ing to tolerate the presence of the
missionaries for so much as single
day. Neither is it logical for the
United States government to assume
an attribute of protection as regards
the representative of any special
faith who may choose to undertake
the conversion of foreign peoples.
We have no national religion, We
recognize all religions and give pref
erenee to none" In reply to this
the Louisville Courier Journal makes
the point that as our missionaries
are American citizens our govern
ment must protect them in China.
To this the Post makes the follow
Ing answer: "Whatever be our ab-
stract rights, is it not a fact that the
only demands upon us for protection
proceed from the missionaries, that
the only American citizens needing
protection are missionaries, and thai
but for the missionaries we should
have no occasion to open negotia-
tons, dispatch gun-boats, or call fol
explanation and reparation? And il
his be true, as it unquestionably is
does it not follow that we are ''push-
ing our religion at the point OF the
sword ?" Are we pushing anything
else that requires the exertion or the
demonstration Of force? Are oul
merchants Or our diplomatic Or con
sular representatives in danger
What is all this trouble about if not
about the missionaries and their vain
attempt to plant the Christian relig-
ion in hostile and barren soil ?"
