DON'T WORRY ABOUT OUR CREDIT

Our eastern friends are greatly eX-
of silver will injure our credit in the
west They fail TO advise us how it
is to come about but proceed upon the
theory that a falsehood well maintain
ed, in time, becomes the truth. This
particular one is not only lie on its
face, but is double falsehood because
their apprehensions all center in them
selves. What cares the eastern money
loaner for our credit if he finds better
use for his funds at home than in
western mortgages: His interest in
the west would vanish as the dew if he
could loan his money at Il better rate
i'll South Africa than i'll our western
states, hence there is nothing in his
piaint save the fear that an expansion
Of the currency will lower the rate Of
Interest and thus reduce his own in
come. 1t need hardly be stated that
good western securities now find
ready sale in the east. Not only that,
but they are sought for i'll the face of
what they regard impending ruin from
the unlimited use of silver. The pub
lie is uS-notoriOusly so some
times, but these hypocritical preten-
sions Of the mouth will hardly stand
against voluntary investments of
money. What they do is a far better
criterion than what they say.
The fact is that the west has fur
nished fat picking for eastern investors
these many years. They have availed
themselves of both the growth of the
country and the high rates paid for
money till they have learned to feel
kind of proprietorship in western loans
They figure that the returns are better
and that every dollar drawn from Us
III interest is so much gained to their
accHmulating fortunes. 1t Is indeed
a question whether or not we have
too much credit. Borrowing money is,
to say the least, not an unmiXed bless
ing, as many a western farmer can
testify. If the sale of municipal bonds
had been more difficult the taxes would
have been less burdensome i'll most
western cities. Many mushroom
would have" died a bornin'
had there been less greed for western
loans.
No, Mr.. Shylock, don't worry your
self about our credit. We know you
are anxious to furnish all the money
we can borrow on good security, and
we need no advice touching our views
and efforts toward rehabilitating silver
to its rightful place in our currency.

All THERE, NEW JERSEY.

Now it is New Jersey that shows up
with a scandal. 1t is not confined to
the small pickings of police or city of
ficiaIs, but it takes in the whole COM
monwealth. Not as large geographi-
caIly as Texas, but this only intensi-
fies the measures of stealing from a
state hardly big enough for few
peach orchards and potato ridges. A
state house investigating committee
has been telling the world what it
knows after preliminary examination
of the public service, of which this is
Il sample: 1T is shown the state
house has been a yeritable orgy of
debauchery and crime. Public funds
have been appropriated to private use
on vast and shameless scale. In
tiuential politicians have had their
houses and offices furnished at state
expense. Favored firms have collected
bills for material and services never
rendered. At the cost Of the state 4
room in the state house was fitted up
as bar-room and stocked with liquors,
and a bartender was employed, on a
salary paid by the state, to serve out
grog to the thirsty heelers who throng
ed the place"
This is only predatory to a long list
Of similar charges, but what n state
of public morals in ye proud, ancient
realm of political purity. Reams on
reams of parchment would hardly con-
tain the homOlies that come annually
from the east, upon the need of better
government in the west.
1t is not claimed that angels rule the
conduct. or preside over the eXchequer
of western states, but if anything has
been done that caps this carousing,
thieving deviltry we have not heard
of it 1t goes the Indiana legislature
one better, and is SO like the Sportive
tergiversations of Tammany that we
fear its baneful influence is coeXis-

a PATRIOTIC KANSAN.

General ]. c. Caldwell's recognition
10y Governor Morrill, seems To give
great satisfaction, especially to the ed
itors and public speakers of the Repub-
lican party. who seem to more fully ap-
preciate his ability as an orator and
his loyalty to conviction. The Marion
Record says of him and his appoint
ment:
General Caldwell is perhaps the sblest
man in Kansas. He IS one of the greatest
surviving generals OF the late war. He
is a profound scholar and a magnificent
orator, and he is too big and too modest
10 be in it, who crowd up TO the public
trough for the political provender. Kan
sas is honored by the citizenship of such
a man. and the state ought 10 have the
benefit OF his eminent abilities in some
better and higher position than the board
of pardons, though, great man that he Is,
like Daniel Webster and many other big
Drained men. he has not devoted his time
and talents TO the acquisition OF wealth.
and probably needs even a small favor
like this.

GOLD.

There is gold in the Golfers, and gold in the
earth
There are "gold-headed' ideas as to its
worth;
But none but a magnate with gold
mounted brains
Would bind his own people with gold
plated chains.
Gold for the wealthy. and the wealthy for
gold
Is the wealthy mans motto; and has been
of old
To this end he labors in church. and in
For this his paid henchmen always legis-
late.
The wealthy mans plans, as they slowly
unfold.
Are to make gold the power, and control
all the gold
Then harness the gold up in government
bonds
Drive the Nation TO wreck, while the
driver absconds.
But stop, brother "Gold-Bug;" your plans
are all vain:
Another conductor viii soon take the
train
AS gold is no passport TO Heaven, he'l
tell
You TO switch out your soul at station

Master or Servant.

Newton Kansan: The Topekai Capt.
tai is evidently aware that the Wichita
Eagle honestly expresses the opinions
of thousands of prominent Republicans
all over KanSaS-Some of whom are
quite "close to the throne"-in its crit
icisms of the Republican members of
the legislature and the administration
of Governor Morrill, and recognizes the
necessity of bolstering them up. which
it proceeds to do in its last Sundays
issue, after the vigorous style of its
fighting editor, Joe Hudson, who thus
rewards the men who gave him the
best paying job in the state. The cap
ital should remember that there has
been a loosening of partisan ties in the
past few years, brought about by the
refusal of legislators and executive
officers to heed the demands of their
constituents, which BODIES no good 10
existing parties, and while Republicans
have ever been liberal and conceded
much discretion to the men whom they
have elected these concessions nave
been so grossly abused that revolt
is imminent, and it will require more
than taffy to hold them in line. They
are as purely and wholly Republican as
ever, but they will no longer consent
TO be snubbed and spat upon, and made
the menial tools to place men in office
who will ignore the principles of their
party, the interests of their county,
state or nation, and labor only for the
political or financial advancement Of
themselves and friends, and We predict
that if they conclude new political
party is necessary it will be organized
along the lines of true RepublicaniSm
which means the equality of all men un-
der the laws; an equal right TO labor
and acquire a portion of this worlds
goods, and that an officer in republic
is not a master, but a servant OF the
people to do their will. If the editor
of the Capital could converse with each
individual in Kansas, he would md
the firm conviction lodged in the minds
of four-fifths of them that the officer
of today, be his position of much or
little importance, is more master than
servant, and an equally firm conviction
that he must be taught to know his
place and discharge his duties IN
more acceptable manner.

Sample Argument.

Marion Record: The Wichita Eagle
and the Emporia Republican are the
leading newspaper opponents OF equai
suffrage in Kansas. Upon most sub
jects Colonel Murdock and Governor
Eskridge are sane enough, but upon
this question they are awfully OIL.
They keep up an everlasting racket
aout like the following samples.
By theway Colonel and governor,
YOU have read of course, in your excel
lent papers, the graphic accounts or
that ruffianly row in the Indiana lesis-
lature. the other day. Suppose that
had been a woman's row. Wouldn t
you have whooped it up. though, as a
proof positive that women are lncapa-
BILE of managing public affairs. and un-
deserving of the right to vote? why
don't you "argy' the same way about
us fellows? If this Colorado and In
diana business is the best we can do,
isn't it about time that we gave up the
Job, and let the women run the gov
ernment awhile? They couldn't do any
worse, could they?
