withdrawal of small silver money from
circulation, an act was passed autEoriz-

account of the government silver bullion,

almost any time to strike n blow at the
prosperity of the country which will affect
every valuable interest When the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Treasury nego-
tinted with other great bankers for the

they did precisely what every other bank
er would have DONE and that is. take such
steps us We're absolutely necessary to pro-
tect the bank and insure the prompt re-
demption of its circulation. While this is
true, | admit that the system is radically
wrug and the wit of man could not
devise Il scheme better adapted to give
what is termed the money power more
complete control over country's cur
rency, or more eifectually enable it to

10 blame Mr.. Cleveland. and to denounce
him for the sturdy and Statesmanlike
effort lie has made, and is making to
maintain the credit of the United States
while engaged in this banking business.
If there is one American who more
heartily disapproves the system than
every other. | believe Mr., Cleveland is
the man, As President, however, he is
| bound to administer the government as
he finds it, to enforce the laws as they are
written, and to take care of the national
credit When he assumed the reins of
government he found il in the banking
| business. Not only that. but he found
| the Treasury practically bankrupt, and
the country drifting into the vortex of a
! great panic He had to deal, not with
! the conditions rs he would have them,
but with conditions rs they existed, Then,
my fellow Democrats. why do we not
! place the responsibility where ii belongs,
| instead of assailing the President OF our
choicey Why do we not hold the Re
! publican party responsible for conditions
which it imposed on the country ! am
sure that no man would 90 farther than
Mr.. Cleveland in the direction of taking
| the government out of the banking bust
ness. Andrew jackson himself would not
| go farther If we should issue 3 per cent
! bonds sufficient to realize gold to re-
deem and cancel every outstanding note,
and take the government out of the bust
ness, it would not entail on this country an
expenditure exceeding $15,00O,000 an
nually in the way of interest; and this
would be mere bagatelle compared to the
expense incident to keeping intact the
gold reserve. Then the Secretary of the
Treasury would only be the fiscal agent
of the government, to receive and pay out
its revenues. This need not be done at
once; but we should place the bank in
process of liquidation to the extent Of can
ceiling the notes as fast as they find their
way into the Treasury These notes, be
it remembered are all equal to gold in
purchasing power, simply because they
are redeemed in gold and the holders be-
l:eve they will be so redeemed in the
future.

There are two kinds of money. One is
standard money, by which term we mean
independent money, the purchasing pow
er OF which is determined by the value
Of the substance out of which it is made;
and the other is dependent money, the
purchasing power Of which is by law
made equal to that of standard money.
1t is therefore necessary, in order to have
a clear conception of our monetary Sys-
tenn, to understand the difference be-
tween standard and all other kinds of

issues to the holder its certificate Of
deposit for the amount. These certih-
Gates are payable to bearer, and are
made receivable In payment of public

Obituary.

On Sunday night, July IA, 1895, at
his home on the Saline occurred the
death of A. T. Groves, after long
and painful illness of typho-malaria.
The deceased was born June p, 1860,
which would make an early death at
the age of 35 years and % days.
He was married to Miss Ella Fuger
on September 6, 1888, at the home of
her parents in Marshall county, where
they lived until about eight years
since when they came to live on the
place of their present home. Three
years ago he built a comfortable home
where he said he expected to live and
die, which he did though the after
life was very short.
''At" (aS he was more generally
knoWn) was one of our most respected,
religious, joyial neighborS, always
jolly with a joke and laugh for every
body, and will be greatly missed in
the community and at the Martha
Washington church where he had
been working member since 1888.
Though we know our loss was his gain,
as he said at the last 1.-THE coast was
clear for him." and he is at rest from
all his labOrS which were great, as he

all times and in all places.
He leaves sick wife and three
children 1.-TWO of which are also down
with the same disease) with father,
mother and one sister, besides numer-
Gus friends to mourn his loss. The
sadness Of the scene being greatly in
creased by the sickness of the family
| as the sister, Mrs. j. Hanna. of this
place, also was unable to be with him
at the last. The father and mother
of Council Grove, and two brother-in
laws of Marshall county, were in at
tendance to the last sad rites, which
were conducted by Rev. Langly as
sisted by Rev. Hobbs at the house
July 10Th.
The remains were taken to Marshal
county for interment. All join il
sympathy for the sorrowing friends.

Henry Robinson Loses His Life in Settling
His Fathers Estate.

Mrs. Ollie Robinson of 1141 Clay
street was called to Mounds, Brown
county, H., Tuesday by a telegram
announcing that her husband. Henry
Robinson. had been found dead on
the train in which he was shipping
cattle from Mounds to Chicago. No
theory as to the cause of Mr.. Robin
inson's death was advanced in the
telegram from the members of his
family, all of whom reside at Mounds.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Robinson went
TO Mounds, called by the death Of his
father. Since that time he has been
there settling up the business of the
estate. His father was very wealthy
and in addition to leaving the eight
members of his family property and
investments to the amount of 1856, 900
he carried paid up life insurance to
the amount Of S35. 1000 The division
of the property would therefore enti-
tie Mr.. Robinson Of Topeka to about
$4,000. Just as the business was
about completed and the settlement
made so that he was to come into pos
session of the money, death came.
The opinion of Mrs. Robinson is
perhaps the correct one as to the
cause of her husbands death. Shortly
after arriving in Illinois he went to
work pitching wheat from the stack TO

The average kanSan, so far as his

will tell you that this is the ''worse

knows full we'll he has seen worse days
and meaner winds many times during
his stay in our glorious state, but has

Well, in those days we would stand
around and say, ''they had lived in
Kansas for twenty-five years, and this
claps the Climax" etc. Let US see.
The year 1874 was one long to be re-
membered. The spring opened up
dry and dusty. Few rains fell, and
those were scant as to quantity, and
accompanied by violent winds. Each
day the wind would blow from the
south with such force that it was al
most impossible to walk against it..
Farmers with much difficulty put in
their crops, hoping that things would
change for the better. The spring
passed, summer came on, every morn
| ing commencing with a glazing sun.
which blistered and burned through
the long day, and finally, when set
| tied in the western horiSon, it paid its
parting compliment to the people by
| leaving a sky SO braSSy and dead in
appearance, that any one could guess
what the following day would be.
Along in June, the morning would
begin with south wind and hazy
! southern sky. As the sun mounted
toward the zenith, the wind would
work toward the southwest, and by
or 10 o'clock, the whitening hot blasts
would be sweeping across the prairies,
parching the grass as effectually as
though hot iron had been run over
| it. Occasionally the clouds would
gather, violent thunder and vivid
flashes of lightning could be seen,
which in many cases set fire to the
dry prairie grass, but not drop of
rain came from those clouds. They
were as dry as the earth and as tam
talizing as the sky. People were dis
couraged Every day they would con-
gregate in the little village of White
Rock and talk the prospects over.
One day, along in July, we were, as
usual, in town waiting for the mail to
come in from the east, and someone,
looking toward the northwest, OBJ
served dark streak along the edge Of
the horizon. Soon all were looking in
that direction. A slight feeling of hope
found its way into the bosom of these
discouraged people, for this was the
only sign that we had had for months
that looked favorable. The men
now sought the shady side Of the post
office building and divided their time
between looking out over the hills for
