The death of Calvert Vauxis
a sad ending to a particularly
useful career, that should not be
considered less brilliant because
it was so modest. Though he was
known only to the few outside of
his own city, many have seen
and all have heard of his work.
The Central Part in New York
was mainly of his making, and it
is incomparably the greatest
piece of landscape art achieved
eyer in this country or in recent
years anywhere. Mr. Vaux had
associates, of course, in Ohm
stead in portion of the landscape
and Mole and Withers in archi-
tectural details-but he was the
constant artist of the park from
its beginning and New York will
be derelict if it do not worthily
commemorate the chief author
of it's greatest adornIuent and
most precious possession.

LET US HAVE 1T.
Mankato Should Move to Secure the
Remainder of the Government
Building Appropriation.

The changes made in the govern
ment building through the extension
of the'east wing have added greatly to
the appearance Of the structure and
will be Of much advantage to the con-
Tenience and utility of the interior.
1t will be remembered by most of our
readers that the treasury department
holds that it is prevented by law from
applying out of the appropriation for
extensions or other improvements a
sum greater than ten per cent of the
original appropriation, after the con-
tract had been let. This obstacle pre-
vented the contractor from getting
more than trifle over $4,000 for the
changes made in the original plans,
and to secure the much needed extern
sion of the wing alluded to above, Mr..
Carroll was instructed to substitute
wood flooring and wainscoting in the
main lobby of the postoffice for the
marble that was originally specified.
and some other cutting down and
cheapening of interior finish was also
resorJed to.
AS there will remain unexpended
from $4,000 to $4,000 of the appropria-
zion made by congress, steps should
be taken by our commercial bodies
and citizens generally to secure the

BANK CHANGES.
II. e. Swan Will Soon Leave to Take
His Home in California.

Mr.. HI. E. Swan, the gentlemanly
assistant cashier Of the National
Citizens bank, has rendered his resig-
nation to take effect about Feb. 1st,
after which date he will take up his
residence in California. This change
will be surprise to our people, and a
regret to all who know Mr.. Swan.
For eleven years he has been connect
ed with the bank and during that
time has won for himself many
warm and trusty friends.
Mr.. Swan is led to this step on &C
count of his health. For fifteen
years he has been confined to office
work, and he feels it important that
he should change occupation. He
will join Mrs. Swan in California, but
just what the nature of his future
business will be he has not yet deter
mined.
At the meeting of the director of
the bank this morning Mr.. Jno. B.
Meagher was elected to fill Mr.
Swans place as assistant cashier, and
Will Henlein was elected teller-they
to assume the new positions upo
the severance of Mr.. Swans connec-
tion with the bank.
The newly elected assistant cashier
is the eldest son of Hon.
Jno. f. Meagher,aa president
of the bank, and is young
man of excellent judgment and
even temperament, and will make
worthy successor to Mr.. Swan. He
has been connected with the bank for
two or three years and isfully familiar
with the duties of the position he is
soon to assume. Mr.. Henlein, who has
been advanced to the position of tel
Ter, is young man of sterling worth,
and his connection with the bank for
the past five or six years is a guarantee
of his fitness to acceptably fill the new
duties.
In leaving Mankato where he has
grown to manhood, and where he is
respected by all, Mr.. Swan will bear
with him the best wishes of all, and
all hope that his future may be
crowned with success in whatever
business he may engage.

WHERE IS "REvEREND" DOUGHERTYa
AND WHERE ARE THE OTHER KANSAS CITY
KANSAS, PREACHERS?

We would especially call the attention OF the
Reverend Dougherty, who is labor1ng SO ardu-
ously in defense of his "dear friend" Governor
Morrill,, to the following, from the Kansas City
(Kas.) Sun. It is rich reading. We should
think Dougherty would be proud OF the gang
with which he is working:
A week ago, a Republican state official told
the editor Of this paper that plan had been
suggested which, if carried out, would become
40 popu1ar that no one could defeat Morrill,.
This plan was to allow the joints in Kansas
Citv, Kas., to run with cigar stand, barber
shop or restaurant in front, as few saloon flx-
lures as possible and fine each one $50 per
month, and an additional su1n of $25 per month.
We understand that the $25 was separate al
fair, and was not to be included in the fne.
This officer did not enjoin secrecy on Our part,
hence we feel at liberty to express ourselves.
Since that time, the Republican members OF
the police board have been called to Topeka by
the governor, and many new joints have been
opened in this city since their return-three IN
one block alone in the business part OF the city:
one at s21, Dicks lunch-counter; 532, Gruble's;
sAa. Donahue, alias Steve Hays-all on Mime
sofa avenue. If necessary, many more can be
named in all parts of the city.
And now we have in the Gazette OF this GATE,
a Republican paper, column article signed by
by committee of four old soldiers, charging
that nne-tenths of the best citizens OF this city
are condemning the police board, and charge
that ''there are from fifty to seventy-ive saloons
running with doors wide OPEN"
What does it tnean1 At present, we are not
Arguing whether it is right OF wrong for the
Joints to run; but what we want to know Isl
WHY the ministers and the GOOD Citizens
League" are so silent, while they took such an
active part when Lewelling was governor, be-
cause he did not close the joints. Is it possible
that joint that pays fine of $50 and $2s on
the side is less distasteful to the minister than
one that is fined only $50 month";
Brother Dougherty, stand up. YOU said at
Topeka, the other day, that Governor Morrill,
appointed the police commissioners suggested
by you Cor words to that efect). Now, tell us
whereth extra $2s goes. Doesit go intothe Re-
publican campaign fund? You ought to know,
since YOU are such a close friend of Governor
Morrill,, and love him so dearly "because Of the
eremies he has made" as you stated at Tope-
ka. Come, now, Brother Dougherty; be hon
est and tell the truth for once.

INTRINSIC VALUE.

The other day, in conversation with friend
who believes in a gold basis, he said that gold
has an intrinsic value; that the instrinsc value
is given to it by the amount Of labor 1t takes to
get it out Of the mime. He said: "a miner
takes his pick and digs hole in the ground, or
the rocks, and finds the gold, and dollars
worth of gold represents dollars worth OF la
bor."
Well, we have been studying about 1t, and,
in imagination, 1--WE followed another miner to the
mountains and watched him work with his pick.
He worked just as hard as any other miner,
and dug just as big hole, but he failed to find
any gold. Why, then, shouldn't he get some
returns for his labor1 The hole he dug repre-
sented as much labor as the hole the other fell
low dug; therefore, it must have the same
intrinsic value, and he ought to be able to take
the hole to the mint and have it coined into
dollars. 1t least, that is the way it looks to us
from an intrinsic-value standpoint.

A RECENT number of the Chicago Record

in which Eugene V. Debs, president of the
American Railway Union fearlessly declares
that the reason why the conspiracy cases against
him and his associates have been indefinitely
postponed is that the General Managers Asso-
citation is aware that the A. R. U. has the evil
dence to prove that the cars which were burned
were not destroyed by the striking railroad em-
ployes, but by the deputies appointed to
"protect" the property of the railroad compa-
MES. 1t is by no means likely that those cases
will ever come up again. ,

So FAR as the Sunday-school qualities of our
governor are concerned, they may stand on a
par with those of the Pharisee who stood on a
street corner and thanked God that he was not
as other men. The Pharisee proclaimed his
own righteousness in loud voice. So did
Morrill,. The Pharisee "devoured widows
houses" and Morrill, helped to scoop the poor
man who sought to make home on govern
ment land For our part, we prefer "Apple-
Jack Cyl" who never poses as good man.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL

That's long word, but it is mighty handy
sometimes. Whenever capitalists, corporations
or trusts run up against law that doesn't suit
them, they just give the wink to their tools,
the supreme court judges, and the judges say,
tax law did not suit the fellows who have big
incomes, so they gave the wink, and the judges,
after juggling with the law a while, to fool the
people, finally declared the whole thing uncon-
stitutional-and Mr. Moneybags goes free.

THE chances are that Kansas will become
bankrupt through investigating committees A
few more years of investigation, and "capital
will leave the state' on the double-jump. The
state can't stand this sort of thing. We hardly

or five more OH. 1t was bad break when they
went after Senator Rogers. Drunkenness opens
UP an illimitable field of investigation-at least,
as long as the "redeemers" are inland if the
''redeemer'' crowd is not partial, the good work
of investigating drunkards will go on.

In letter to the editor of the World, Gov.
Morrill, says that he has heard the charges made
against State Treasurer Anterior, but has been
unable to substantiate them He says, further,
that he has no power to remove state officer,
and that it can only be done by impeachment
by the legislature. This would indicate that
we have been barking up the wrong tree. If
Mr.. Anterior is guilty, somebody ought to be
forthcoming to prove it, and if he is not, he
ought to be hustling around to clear his skirts.
Mr. Anterior is easily the most unpopular man
in the state to-day, and he is either unjustly
charged or he will be buried under the calunany
that is being heaped upon him. We would

MANY Republican papers at first denied the
report that Morrill, paid certain ante-election
expenses with money which he deliberately
stole from the people, but when the fact that
he did so became too plain to be hidden any
longer, and "public sentiment" against him
became so strong that he thought it best to
"cough up" these same Republican papers be-
eun to invent excuses for the dastardly act. If
Morrill, did not know he did wrong in flching
from the people, why did he try to have the
vouchers destroyed Governor Morrill, is no
fool: he is simply dishonest old rascal He
wouldn't have paid back cent Of that stolen
money if he hadn't been caught stealing.
