Humps on the Earth.

The alarming theories propounded by scientists make one sit up at first glance. For example, M. de Lapparent read paper before the scientific con- gress at Paris the other day in which he labored to prove that the mountains of the earth are decreasing in size, and that they will ultimately vanish alto gether The tremendous friction of the atmosphere is wearing them away The Alps, he said, exemplitied the youth, the Pyrenees the maturity, the mountains of Provence the declining years and the central plateau of France the death and dissolution of mountain ranges. But don't worry. Four or five hundred thousand years must slip by before the bumps on the earth's surface are razed-

READ AND REFLECT.

The Cresset of Feb. !, contained the
following commentator on the presi-
dents message:
The populists and free silver mem
bers of congress, with one accord, de-
clare Mr.. CleYeland's financial message
TO be declaration for the single gold
standard. Of course it Is and SO it Will
always be. A silver standard would be
nothing more or less than gold stand
ard under another name. AS long as
gold is the money measure of the world
it will be the standard under whatsO
ever name you choose to call it. In the
language of local SCOTT SayeT, you
may kill a skunk as rabbit, COOK him
as rabbit and eat him as rabbit, but
skunk he will remain" So il is with
gold. In silver countries it takes two
dollars In silver to purchase one of gold.
In paper money countries the paper is
worth just what the ability of the conn
try is TO redeem it in gold. Legislation
will not affect this point, and nothing
will except an agreement between all
nations or the adoption of all people Of
some other measure OF standard.
In the above the Cresset's position is
clearly defined and to say that it is an
adherent to the single gold standard
faith would be quite superfluous. But
what we wish to call the attention of
our readers more particularly, is the
last sentence of the above squib viz:
Legislation Will not affect this point,
and nothing Will except an agree ment
between all nations or the adoption of
all people of some other measure or
standard" This sounds familiar: it is
ideal republicanism but is lamentably
deficient in statesmansI n The idea
that Amer lea must confeE- and advise

er tyrants Of the old world" How
long do you suppose they would have
waited until they would have declared
their independence? So it is IN the
present day. If we wait to dispose Of
this nefarIous single gold standard
system until we get the consent of Eu-
rope, we will simply get it where the
chicken got the AK. We need to get
the people evoluted up to the insuper-
able proposition that law only makes
money aud that all this braylng about
intrinsic value" is a gigantic piece of
humbuggery. All We need do is to
elect men to Office with sufficient back
bone to enact laws to sink the gold
standard demon into oblivion and give
US free silver and an irredeem-

but upon the resources of the country

TOPEKA CORRESPONDENCE,

From our Topeka Correspondent.
Among the most important matters
passed upon by the legislature during
the week, was the seed grain bill. This
bill appropriates one hund red thous-
and dollars for the purpose of furnish
ing seed wheat and other grains for the
settlers of western Kansas. The
bill is House bill, and when it was
messaged to the senate it was amend
ed so as to appropriate fifty thousand
dollars of this money for the purchase
of supplies for the im4eAiate relief of
these destitute settlers, the house fail
ed to concur in the amendment and I'M
der protest the senate receded from its
amendments and passed the bill as
originally messaged from the house.
Our readers will remember that some
several weeks ago we made mention of
statement made in the senate that
there was no such thing as suffering in
western Kansas; but in less than two
weeks from that time the Topeka Capt.
tai published wall in behalf of the
destitute of western Kansas that out
howled all the calamity howlers that
Kansas ever had. For the past few
weeks the columns of the daily papers
have been filed with accounts of the
distress of the settlers or western Kan
sas, and yet the republicans of this leg
islature prefer to let these poor people
starve in order to save the credit of the
state. Credit of the state. did we say?
Think of X! The credit of state that
will permit its citizens TO starve on ac-
count of state pride! Dear readers,
what would you think of a man who
would let his children starye in prefer
ence to admitting that he was desti-
tute? Think of it! The Great State
of Kansas, leaving citizens on its PLAINS
these cold wintry days, without food,
clothing, fuel, and shelter to make
them comfortable, and sending men to
the legislature who unblushIngly make
the statement that there is no suffer
ing and they are abundantly able to
take care of their poor. Is it not
enough TO make every citizen blush
WH0n nus SLdIo is Cdlleu great! Is II
much wonder that the chief executive
of this state should be ashamed of his
state?" Aye it is high time that the
state, the whole people. should be
ashamed of such public officers. A day
or two since two thousand dollars was
appropriated to furnish coal to the set
Tiers of western Kansas, but the recent
| blizzard reached them before the coal
did. Had it not been for the class Of
people from the western part of the

under existing conditions.
Ii the judgment, or rather, predic-
tions, of the big bankers of the country

much doubt, this government must

days, strike silver basis. If we do
not then there has been very much mis-
representation upon the part of the
aforesaid monetary magnates. Ad-
uniting that these prognosticatOrs have
been sincere and that the finances and
commerce of this country must reach a
silver basis before it is possible for the
republican party TO avert it, the Eagle

diction that there will be no rich man.

ELSEWHERE in this issue will be no.
ticed an article from the Wichita Eagle
on the silver question. 1t is useless
for the Eagle to even contend that the
republican party supports silver as
money since the action of that party
in the past proves the contrary conclu-
siyely. 1t is a fact, whether western
republicans like it or not, that all the
republican papers OF any prominence
east OF the Mississippi river are staunch
advocates OF gold basis and the East
controls the republican party. The
Eagle, before the election, would not
dare to put up such an editorial and
knows that nothing that tends to help
along the silver cause will be tolerated
by the republican party. The republ-
can party is the champion of a single
gold standard and all the brain matter
that the Eagle can muster up won't de-
ceive the people.
