Mirrors That Are Transparent.

A great many devices are known for
the purpose of enabling people in a
house to see what is going on in the
street without opening their windows.
A new invention of this nature is re-
ported from Halberstadt, Germany, be-
ing plan for so silvering glass that it
reflects the image when looked at from
one side, but when looked at from the
other is as transparent as ordinary
window glass. If this is glazed in a
dwelling-room window. anyone inside
can see all the life of the street, while
any passer-by looking in at the win
dow will see but mirror and nothing
more. This avoids, therefore, the
annoyance sometimes encountered in
glazing either clear window glass or
ground glass, in combining the special
advantages of both. One object would
be that many people might stop to ad-
just their personal appearance at such
mirrors. An innovation on reverse
lines is that recently made in one of the
Vanderbilt ball rooms, where the win
dows by day become large mirrors by
night through mechanical arrange
ments, and thus add simply but won
derfully to the brilliance of the scene.

THIS is THE WAY THEY LIE TO DECEIVE
THE UNWARY.

Populism in Kansas means free silver, but In
Maryland the state convention declared
against it.-Meriden Lfdger, September IA.
That Is a mistake you are led into friend
Pratherby relying, upon reports In the old
party press. The Maryland state convention
did nothing Of the kind.-Topeka AdUoedte.
Yes, we relied on the old party press but If
we are wrong we would be glad to know just
what they did say about silver win you give
us their plank verbatimF-Meriden Ledger, Sep
tember 28
Certainly, with pleasure. Here it is:
We condemn both the democratic and re-
publican administrations flor redeeming the
outstanding treasury notes or gresnbacks as
being without authority OF law, and demand
that future exchanges, If any, be made for sill
yer instead Of gold. The financial question
having been made the leading issue, we COM
mend united effort for its early settlement,
and to that end demand the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 16 to
without waiting consent or pleasure Of any
other nation.
You can now see what internal liars
the old party scribblers are. There
never was a shadow of foundation for
the report sent out respecting the &C.
ton of the Maryland convention. 1t
was manufactured out of whole cloth
just as nine-tenths of the other stuff
relating to populism is manufactured
by men who are hired and paid to keep
the wires hot with lies of like char
acter.

ITwAs not necessary to call session

Now if the Major will kindly admit
that he was not elected state printer,
Ed Snow will be satisfied, and the
Major can turn his attention to fixing

ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS GENERAL.

That nart Of the Kansas prohibitory
law which authorizes the attorney gen
eral to appoint an assistant in any
county for the purpose of enforcing
this one law must have been imported
from Russia, OF some semi-bsrbarOus
country Wherever it may have orig
mated, it is now regarded as q relic
of republican imbecility.
Once on time the temperance peo-
pie of Cowley county clamored for
more rigid enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law. In their innocent simplicity
they took up with one Ben S. Hender-
son, cOnscienceless and unprincipled
lawyer, whose true character is much
better known now than it was then, and
secured his appointment as assistant
attorney general. Henderson was then
posing as a reformed drunksrd, and
after he explained how the law could
be put into practical effect, and how
he would enforce it if appointed, there
was no doubt left in the minds of the
local agitators as to his being the right
man. The result was that the liquor
sellers had picnic while Henderson's
time lasted, for those who were willing
to pay liberal license fee had no
trouble making terms. It was also a
picnic for the assistant attorney gen.
eral.
Another example is the case at
Wichita, the ultimate result of which
is not yet apparent w. P. Campbell,
who was some time ago appointed as
sistant attorney general, was up to
that time industrlously practising his
vocation of saloon hanger-on mixing
in little law practice as recreation.
Just now he is engaged in piling up
mountain of costs in liquor cases, to be
paid by the people of Sedgwick county.
He is as devoid of conscience as hen
is of teeth, and cares nothing for the
rights of his fellow citizens as long as
he can hide under the pretense of ad-
ministering law while making his fees.
These are the kind of humbugs that
get to the front in nine-tenths of the
cases where an assistant attorney gen
eral is to be appointed.

until further notice, the editorial and
business policy of the paper viii be
under his general direction. Of course,
during the period he shall hold public
office, he cannot devote any part of his
time to personal work on the paper;
but il is his intention to return to edi-
torial labor Immediately after the ex-
piration of his official term.
There Is but one important change
contemplated in the course of the AD-
voCATE. It will contain more mis-
cellsneons mathematics tending to
broaden the view of the reader by keep
ing him informed in the literature of
all departments of human activity.
Agriculture, manufactures, mining,
commerce, invention, art, literature,
history, trsvel-eVerything which will
interest and instruct the readers will
have place in our columns, limited, of
course, to the space we can command.
This is our ideal Of newspaper that Is
to circulate among the masses.
The student of politics needs the
whole field of active life to Gull from.
ALI things that men and women do
have more or less relation to govern
ment, and government is applied poll
tics; hence, the wider our range of
information is, the better our political
opinions ought to be. 1t will be our
aim to collect and condense current
thought and deed from every place and
station where men are thinking and
acting, thus furnishing intellectual
food for individuals, families and COM
munities where the paper is read.
This change cannot be effected at
once. 1t will require some time. The
advances will be continuous, to the end
that we may have steady improve
ment.
For the present at least, the matter
for the paper will be prepared by DR..
McEsllin and George Wagner. We
shall aim to build up a irst.clsss
weekly psperAnd conduct it on reform
lines. Friend and foe alike will be
treated fairly and decorously. We
shall aim to present only clean matter,
whether 1t be an editorial article, a
miscellaneous paragraph, or an adVer-
tisement.
In politics the ADVOCATE will be a
broad-gsuged populist paper. Popu-
lism means q great deal now-more
than ever before. 1t involves every
thing honorable that is opposed to ex-
isting methods and tendencies of the
republican party and the democratic
party, as those great organizations
are now controlled and managed.
They are one in spirit and aim;
they are two only In name. Which
of them will survive is easily foreseen.
When Kentucky democrat sbandons
his own party candidate for governor
because he advocates the populist doc
trine of free and equal coinage Of
silver and gold, and in the same mespeech
introduces to Kentucky audience the
republican candidate for governor be-
cause he fsvorS ''sound money" it is
plain that the leading democrats have
made up their minds that when it be-
comes necessary, in order to save and
protect ''the concentrated money

the corner stones of populism, namely
the restoration of our old coinage laws
The thing which the old party leaders
are most concerned about is the thinG
upon which populists are unanimoul
in their opposition. These facts show
the Importance of the getting together
Of all elements that are opposed to the
government being administered by 6
handful of marsuders who are now
permitted to plunder the treasury anC
bond the people at will.
In the Omaha platform every re
former can find creed responsive tt
his own beliefs. On the coinage ques
tion, now so much talked about, the
populist is the only party that has
spoken in favor of the coinage of silver
and gold at the present ratio of 16 to /
There is no mistaking the meaning Of
these words. They mean the same thing
wherever they are read. Everybody un
derstands them. Silver republicans anG
silver democrats are wasting time try
ing to control their parties touching
the coinage question. If they are moi
in favor of the gold standard, their
place is with US. We have been, and
are now, fighting their battles for them
and if they really wish success, they
must stop fighting with our enemies
and theirs alike. II is useless to at.
tempt the formation of a new party on
the silver question alone. 1t is moi
broad enough nor deep enough. Its
success without other needed reforms
would leave us practically where we
are now-with the gamblers in the
saddle.
The ADVOCATE is opposed to any
surrender of vital issues. 1t is op.
posed to any and every sort of dicker
ing or trading with enemies; and il
will not support either measures OF
men that it believes ought to be de-
fested. Parties and party men are
useful only as they serve the best in
terests of the people. The country is
before party, and principle before ex
pediency.
If the populist party would win snd
retain the respect of the people it must
respect itself. What it denounces in
other parties it must not tolerate
within itself; and when we secure Office
we must not forget. what we promised
the people before election, and at onct
proceed to do things just as the ''Othel
fellows" did them. What we promise
we must at least make an honest effort
to accomplish. If we do no better
than our predecessors, there is no neeC
for the change. If our doctrines are
no better than those of democrats and
republicans, there is no excuse for oul
existence.
The writer understands quite vel
that a great many thousand republi
cans and democrats believe in the mair
just as populists believe on the sub
ject of monetary reform; and if we de
mean ourselves as becomes honest anG
patriotic men, they will, out of self
respect and in order to make theil
votes effective, come to US in time.
The ADVOCATE will aim to be clear
in its policies and utterances, intend
ing to espouse the better side of every

many legislative needs and necessities, but
also displaying to them our great natural
advantages to the end that they may be more
