Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1895-05-31

SUPERINTENDENT TODD, of the asylum for
the blind, has been charged with opening let
ter belonging to pupil, and of course he must
be investigated. Mr.. Todd does not deny
that he opened the letter, but he did it because
he had been authorized SO to do by the parents
of the pupil. 1t is long time since it hap
nened-so long ago that the public had forgot
ten it, though the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed at the time, and it was proven that Mr..
Todd was guilty of no wrong-doing. This his
prosecutors we'll know, but they have some hun
cry redeemer who wants Mr. Todd's place. and
il was necessary to rake up some excuse to get
rid of him. The plan of redemption is truly
wonderful.

Equal Opportunity.

The labor struggle is not one between EN-
ployer and employed, boss and wage-worker,
but between the doors and do-nothings those
who give an equivalent for what they receive
and those supported by rent interest and mo-
nopoly.
Competition forces the employer to cut wages.
He must do so or go under. Those employers
who are guided by feelings of humanity are
forced out of business by competition. The
system is rotten.-Peninsula Farmer.
This is partly correct and partly incorrect.
At present, there is competition between men
for employment. But suppose there was ample
opportunity for all to be employed-would not
competition among employers to get laborers
force wages up to point at which the laborer
would receive as wages exactly the amount that
his labor would producer
And suppose monopoly of all kinds was done
away, would not the whole value Of what was
produced go to the producer? And would not
the "do-nothings' be obliged to do something
because no longer able to live on the productions
of others?
Equal opportunities for all and special privi-
leges to none will secure equal justice for all
and unearned benefits to none.-New Era,
Springfield, Ohio.
THE Iowa Commonwealth states that the
money wasted in the saloons would in five years
put one hundred silver dollars, on the average,
in the pockets of every man, woman and child
in the nation, if saved. AS the total amountof
silver dollars in existence is not more than
about six to leach man, woman and chlld'' In
the nation, we should like to know how this
will be ccomplished.-New Era (Prohib.),
Springfield, Ohio.
OHIO Republicans have held their state con-
vention and nominated state ticket. There
was a sham battle between the Sherman and
Foraker factions, in which the Forakerites ap-
parently won the day, so far as the nominations
are concerned. However, the platform adopted
bears John Sherman's ear-marks. 1t declares
for gold standard.
THE innocent "Big -Four" combine which
handles the beef-hides has raised the price OF
hides, which means dear leather, and dear
leather means dear shoes, and dear shoes means
many bare feet.
THERE is movement on foot among the
railroad employees to build cooperative road
from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast.

KANSAS Ae1TAToR: GARRETT, KANSAS, MAY 81, 1895
DEMAND ENHANCES VALUEr

The man who cannot see that gold or silver,
when used for money has a coinage value,
needs new set of brains; and if it be true
that coinage value exists, what is to hinder sill
yer from advancing under free coinage until the
bullion in silver dollar will be worth as much
as the bullion in gold dollar? What becomes
of the law of supply and demand if demand
does not enhance value? And if demand en-
hances value, then, if silver, under double
standard, should become cheaper money than
gold, would not demand restore its value to par
with gold? and would not the cheaper money
be in demand until equality was restored?
Remember, the silver dollar in 1873, under a
double standard, was worth more than the gold
dollar by three cents, because silver bullion was
more in demand in proportion to supply than
gold bullion. Remember, too, that silver was
de1nonetized because the discovery of large sill
yer deposits promised an abundant supply OF
money, and that decentralization was the result
of conspiracy.

COL, now Gen. Hughes is out with claim
that the state owes him 5000 for being court
martialed. This same man is also candidate
for deegate-at-large to the next Republican ma
tional convention. Hughes makes us tired. He
was a nobody who jumped into accidental fame
by having Bill Higgins and other Republican
officials brace him up. The expenses of his
trial were paid by popular subscription, and
still he acts like locoed broncho.-Lawrence
World (Rep.)
No use kicking, Bro. Brady. You might
Just as we'll, like a little man, stand up and

YOU Had Lewelling appointed to any respon-
sible position man with as notorious reputa-
ton as Hughes possesses, every Republican
editor in the state would become affected with
the jimams over it, but, the great redeemer
has done the work, and there is only here and
there ripple of objection. Putty Morrill, and
his gang are redeeming the state at lightning
speed. Who is governor, anyhow?-Morrlll,
Apple Jack Cy or the gang?

THE Republican members of the Rogers IN
vestigation committee simply did what they
were appointed to do The committee was ex-
pected to convict, and the public is not disap-
pointed in the least. However, the pubic
knows that Mr.. Rogers was not proved unht
for regent, and the political attempt to MAKE
a martyr out of him will not be received with
any degree of satisfaction.-L Worlo
(Rep.)
We like frankness and honesty. The World
hits the nail square on the head. VI course
everybody knows that the so-called lnvestiga-
tons of Populist officials by the 'redeemers"
are farce, and mean nothing but to 1nanufac-
ture excuses for getting rid of Populists tonake
room for hungry redeemers. But the 1nvesu-
cations would not have been so extensive had
there been enough Offices to supply the demand
Tobs had to be made in order pay ante-electlon
promises, and the fertile brains of Joint-Keeper
Leland, the Republican chairman, and Granny
Morrill,, who disgraces the gubernatorial chair
devised the investigation scheme. The plan
was satisfactory to the redeemers. 1t does not
take very much to satisfy hungry redeemer
If he can only get hold OF the public teat, it
matters but little to him if the udder IS dry.
He lust lays back his ears, shuts his eyes and
holds OH, occasionally giving little bunt,
which causes old Granny to dip down into the
contingent-fund bucket and get wee drop to
appease the calf, telling him to just hold till
the fresh legislative COW is driven up, when all
the redeener calves will be filled. Quite nice
little scheme, isn't il, Brother Brady!

THE people Of Kansas feel more deeply on
the silver question than on any other public
question of the day. Go out among the tarm-
ers, and they are talking silver. Go among
the working-men, and they, too, are talking
silver The demand for silver is imperative,
and if the Republicans hope to win next time,
the silver plank must be liberal.-Lawrence
World (Rep.)
And who is responsible for the present feel
ing on the silver question in Kansas and else
where in the nation? Which party was In,
power when the crime was committed against
labor and in the interest Of capital1 The farm
ers and all others who make their living by
productive industry are the ones to go to, but,
when the state convention meets, the old-crowd
Republicans will be in the saddle and will pay
no attention to the "deep" feeling OF the peo-
nile. The bosses will formulate the conditions
and name the candidates, as they always have,
and the rank and file will walk up and take
their medicine. Paste this in your hat for
election day.

Cinchona was originally called count

to have been intEpduccd into Europe by
the Countess of Cinchona, wife of the VICE
roy Of Peru 1t was also called Peruvian
bark and Jcsuits' bark, from tho country
where it WAS originally discovered and
from the Jesuit fathers who used 1t in
medical practice. 1t was first used In the
cure of intermittent fevcrs about 1910.
The tree from which the bark Is procured
grows in Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, New
Granada and many other parts of South
America and has been planted with sue
cess in India and Ccylon. There are said
to be over IA dozen varieties of the cinchona
producing plant, all of which yield bark
OF different quality. Quinine or quinn,
an alkalOid contained in tho bark, was dis
covered by Pelletier and Caventon in 1920.

Among the vines adapted for use in

than the native Clematis flammula, with

choice among vines, and could have but
one, it should be this. 1t is rapid grow
or, entirely hardy, and beautiful at all
times. The new white variety, Clcmatis
paniculata grandiiiora, has larger flowers
with broader petals and is therefore,
more noticeable, but it is not so charming

variety spoken of above. Nothing can be
finer for use in large vases, in combination
with other flowers, than long sprays or

ner, without any assistance. They cannot

AS to IIypnotisln.

No less u parsonage than DR.. Parkhurst
has taken the trouble to point out anew
that nobody ever heard of anybodys being
hypnotized to mako him do something
good. Hypnotism, the doctor thinks from
tho evidence, is always eXcrtcd to promote
evil and for that reason he is inclined to
condemn it.
Tho fact commented on by the doctor
hos often been spoken of, but it really con-
stitutcs no fault of hypnotisIn. 1t is sim
ply the fault of human nature Man gray
itatcs toward the bad. When hypnotism
is cxcrted III the same direction with this
natural gravitution it is effective. When
it Is cxcrtcd in the opposite direction, it is
simply trying to pull the load up hill, and
it fails. There are no doubt plenty of
persons especially ladies, who go about
weaving subtle hypnotic charms around
men for the noble purpose of leading them
Alright, just Us the bad people whom we
hear OF through tho police reports 90 about

lists work ut "A tremendous disadvantage

WALES AT The PLAY.
Tho Prince Tries to Avoid Display When
Mt tho Theater.

The royal box is booked in the usual
way of business and charged To the Marl-
borough House account. The price is not
increased from the library tariff, and tho
stories about nominal price or larger
one being paid by royalty only exists in
tho imagination of the papers who invent
such tarradiddlcs. Sometimes it happens
that a box cannot be got at the particular
thcater decided upon. When this is the
case, Il polite request is made to tho party
who has booked the royal box if they could
sec their way TO obliging his royal high
ness, and the result is, of course, invaria-
bly, in the affirmative.
When he goes to the thcater, it is his
earnestly expressed desire to be treated ex-
actly as if he were one of the ordinary au-
dience. Little displays of flowers, bou-
qucts, satin programmes, etc, arc all very
nice, but the prince does not care for them,
and would much rather do without them
Another thing which annoys him is that
he should be drawn attention to by the
performance on his arrival of the national
anthem or "God Bless the Prince of
Wales" AS he said on one occasion, why
must the amusement of every member of
this audience be disturbed for my sake?'
Then again you will notice that he waits
till the final curtain has descended before
rising to leave. This is his invariablc rule,
SO much so that have known him to sit
out tho entire harlcquinadc of Drury lane
pantomime. There are three or four thea
tors only where he ever breaks the rule.
They arc those houses which have no royal
entrance, and here tho prince anticipates
the final curtain by two or three minutes
so that his departure will not disturb the
carriage traffic of the remainder OF the au-
dicncc.-Ncw York Herald.
