GOLDBUG ROBBERS.

Gold has commenced to leave the
United States treasury again and every
day, in every outgoing vessel, for
Europe. From one million to a mil
lion and n half dollars daily is the
figure of the amounts. In addition
one million went to Canada on Friday
last. Sterling exchange is being sold
in large sums in New York. The
bonds which Mr.. Cleveland in his deal
sold, on contract, to be taken to Eu-
rope, are being sent back for sale in
America, and the proceeds taken to
drain the treasury Of it's gold. So
much for the word and honor Of the
goldbug syndicate. 1t is said that
eight million Of these bonds will be re-
turned within this month Of August,
which bonds at present quotations are
worth ten millions of dollars in gold,
the very gold for which they were sold.
A London correspondent Of the New
York World confirms the statement
and adds that owing to an enormous
amount Of accommodation bills drawn
4 demand for American gold in vast
sums is inevitable. These accomoda-
ton bills were issued by the England
end of the gold syndicate deal and
cannot be STAYED off till October LIST,
the date to which the syndicate prom
ised to protect the United States trea-
Sury.
This is a pretty kettle Of fish indeed,
with which to confront the American
people who are asked to indorse Mr..

Lace Bark Tree OF Jamaica.

The department of agriculture, Tor.
estry division, at Washington, D. c..
has collection Of rare trees and plants
only second to that belonging to the
famed Kew gardens, London. A recent
addition to this Neurological museum
is a lace bark tree" from Jamaica.
The inner bark of this queer tree is
composed OF many layers Of fine and
intricately woven fbers which inter
lock with each other in all directions.
Caps. RIFLES and even complete suits Of
this curious vegetable lace have been
made. 1t bears washing with common
laundry soap. and when bleached in
the sun acquires a degree Of whiteness

that the agricultural department viii

PErTICOATS IN ENGLAND.

The bloomer is in for it. We have
laws for everything now, from the
regulation of what we eat and drink
to how one must conduct himself in
going to glory. Up in COldwater,
Mich, bloomer club Of cycling new
women have stripped off their bloom
ers and now ride in the streets. clad
in complete masculine costumes. con-
sisting of Knickerbockers, golf stock
ings and short jackets.
And so the bicycle and the new
woman seem destined to materially en-
large our already sufficiently cumber-
some code. The bloomer question has
become serious. The institution Of the
family and the marital authority Of the
man over the weaker vessel are at
stake. If the exigencies of cycling re-
uuire a compromise to be made with
the fair riders in regard to the time
honored costume of femininity the oc-
casions when the new garb might be
permissible. its proper cut ana the

carefully prescribed by statute. Let
the male sex beware! A prominent
female suffragist has proclaimed, in
clarion tones. that woman will ride

the several states; and in such event
they may elect to wear boomers of any

petticoats.
A recent case at Patterson, n. j.,
opens up the appalling possibility that
the prospective code Of bicycle law will
need TO incorporate minute and per-
picking rules affecting the domestic re-
lations. The persons Immediately az
fected by the new phase OF bicycle law

DIVORCE IN OKLAHOMA.

Oklahoma has enjoyed a boom on
divorces, not so extensively among her
own people, for there seems to have
been little matrimonial infelicity or
want of conjugal affinity among the
pioneer families Of that fair land, but
of the imported sort. Beautiful but
unhappy women have flocked to her
from the east, filling her hotels, and
entertaining her social circles and Civ
ing spice to her more innocent scan
dals while they awaited the elapse Of
the few weeks necessary for some pro-
bate Judge to take their interesting
cases in hand and unite the CALLING
knot. How many hundred desOlate
and distracted hearts the Oklahoma
probate courts have made is only
known to the records and in heaven.
But scores of eastern uncongenials
found themselves suddenly relieved of
marital responsibilities and as sudden
ly cut off from its enjoyments. 1t
seems, however, that a last case of
the question Of the validity was raised
some time since and which was car
ried to the supreme court, and that the
latter tribunal has said that the Okla
homa divorce law was no goodwill
and void. And now and wiiereupon
ensues pretty pickle for all those who
subsequently found and tied them
selves TO new affinities. These are
guilty of bigamy. The divorce being
Illegal the marriage cannot be legal.
This will upset good many domestic
arrangements and make it a trifle en-
barrassing for many estimable peO-
pie. Whether a legalizing act will be
passed to take care of these cases or
some other steps be taken to square
the violators with the law remains to
be seen. At any rate people who are
enjoying matrimonial felicity. because
of a supposed Oklahoma permit, would
do well TO look up their papers and find
out their proper legal standing.

BINETALLISM IN ENGLAND.

Bimetallists are in fine feather over
the result Of the English parliamentary
elections. They took an active part

they circulated great posters printed

the leading Liberals and Conservatives
on the question. They claimed that
most of the Conservative members

malevolence toward the present state

ing, grounded on sincerity, that the cap
ital should be removed to Salina or some
other central city Of Kansas.
The writer has been Of opinion for twen-

The question of cost IS unworthy con-

voters of Kansas would vote in favor of
this removal II an opportunity was given.
In fairness the capital should be removed.
The writer of this Is Of opinion that the
size Of the town or city to which the cap
ital may be removed cuts no figure. The
new capital should not be put up at auc-
ton among the towns in the central part
of the state. The state could buy thou
sand acres of land, lay off the capitol
site, school grounds, parks: plat the bal
general cash action and sell one-half Of
the lots and retain one-hah for period
of five years, and then auction them of.
The two sales would pay for all outlay
on part of the state. The sale OF the
last half of lots would bring more than
twice the amount OF first sale. The
second half OF lots could be sold on the
school land plan, OF permitting any bona
fide settler on an unsold lot TO have the
privilege of buying al the end of five years
at the appraised value.
The question OF railroads TO the new cap
ital would be solved by the railways In
six months from the time the removal
was decided upon. A general right-of-
way could be provided through the land

POOR JOHN WALLER.

1t is not a startling declaration to
say that there is an evident lack Of
patriotism in Washington; nor are we
so foolish as to expect that anything
that the Eagle might say would ever
reach the ears or conscience OF the
present administration. But all the
same there is the Marseilles dungeon
and Kansan therein lying rotting
because Of a lack Of patriotism in the
government which he deemed it
great honor to represent. Waller is
an American citizen. To be an Ameri-
can citizen in the French prison of
DIFF is a misfortune. Better citizen
of any other land however insignifi-
cant. There has been only slight re-
quests from Cleveland's administra-
ton. No demands.
1t is disheartening to American pa
triotism to know that the government
seems disposed to let ex-COnsul Wal
Ter, an American citizen, die in a
French prison like common criminal.
Ambassador Eustis has made some in
Quiry into the case and. receiving little
satisfaction from the French authori-
ties and less encouragement from the
administration at home, has apparent
ly decided to let the matter drop. He
first demanded copies Of the charges
and the evidence produced against the
unfortunate Waller. Every nation
has a right, when one of its citizens
has been imprisoned for alleged viola
ton Of the laws Of another nation, to
demand a copy Of the charges and Of
the proceedings Of the trial at which he
was convicted. The French govern
ment has ignored this request and
treated Ambassador Eustis with scant
courtesy.
The administration seems disposed to
drop the matter. Possibly the fact
that Waller is a colored man, that he
formerly lived in slave state, has
had something to do with the indiffer-
ence Of Mr.. Cleveland'S administra-
ton.
Mr. Walters side Of the story has not
yet been officially heard. 1t is known,
however, that he is an American citi-
zen, that he has legitimate business
in Madagascar, that the French who
have prosecuted him are invaders, and
have yet to establish under interna-
tional law their right to punish him,
even if he were guilty of the charges
made against him.
1t is a disgrace to this government
that an American citizen can be left
to die in French prison without even
a protest from his native country. He
was attending to his legitimate bust
ness in Madagascar when arrested.
But he was prospering, and his sue
cess had aroused the cupidity and
jealousy Of the French invaders.
Black man though he is, he is an Amer
lean citizen. and he is worthy of the
rights and the protection which al
most any other nation on the face of
the globe would under similar circum-
stances demand for one of its subjects
tried by court martial and imprisoned
in foreign land.

TOPEKA GALL

Twice. Of late, the Topeka Capital
has asserted thar Shawnee county pays
double the state tax paid by any other
county in the state.
No man of any intelligence or knowl-
edge Of state affairs could be misled by
such presumptive and bold claim, and
the assertion is not even worthy of
denial. We only make note Of the
matter now as being characteristic OF
the bumptious superiority OF that
town, OF the consequential airs as
sumed by its people which Importance
they invariably attribute 10 the fact Of
their strict enforcement OF the pro
hibitory" law.
Recurring to the claim made for
Shawnee county. OF course the Santa
Fe has an immense taX-roll in Topeka
which has given Shawnee the largest
taxable returns of any county In the
