HERE'S A HONEY.

The republicans of Cloud county
have been holding a convention and
''resoluting." Their first resolution is
as follows:
First-We, the republicans Of Cloud county,
in convention assembled, give renewed ex-
preston to our devotion to the principles Of
the republican party, as declared in the re-.
publican national platform, adopted at Mime
apolis, June 10, 1892 and as enunciated In the
state republican platform OF 1894.
Then follows a commendstion of
Hsrrison's "wise, statesmanlike and
patriotic course" the condemnation
and denuncistion of the Peoples party
in two resolutions, and finish of their
immortal declarations as follows:
Fifth-As to the financial question, your
committee are aware that there is difference
Of opinion among republicans upon this ques-
tion, and recommend that this convention
withhold any expression upon the matter.
They are conscious, of course, that
an Endorsement of the national plat
form of 1892, and the Kansas state
platform of 1894 constitutes no ex-
preston of opinion upon the finance
question and hence the closing resolu-
tion is perfectly consistent.

sessment was then made upon the
stock of about IL per cent, or more
than Its face value, under the pretense
of paying its debts. Millions Of dol
lars of this old stock were held by
people of moderate means who had
been inVeigled into the investment by
glowing promises of large returns.
These people either could not or would
not increase their investment by the
payment of the assessment made under
circumstances so clearly indicating
fraudulent intentions. All such stock
upon which the assessment was un-
paid, of course is forfeited. 1t was q
game of freezeout. The purpose of
the manipulators being accomplished,
they are again prepared to manage
their own affairs and dispense with the

A WASHINGTON dispatch of recent

The best authorities in the treasury depart
ment estimate that the deficit In the govern

Der will be about 20 million dollars for the
first hve months in the fiscal year, beginning
July. That will be very fair showing under
the circumstances for the administration to

"Under the circumstances" very
likely this will be regarded as a fair
showing. Considering that q lot of

the American people may congratulate
themselves that they are buncoed only

SHAM REFORM.

An editorial in the "Silver Knight, !"
Senator Stewart's new paper published
at Washington, d. c., started out with
this declaration:
Property rights are the foundation of So
clety. ANY organization which denies the
right Of property Is an enemy OF civilization.
This Is a statement with which every
millionaire, every sristocrat, every mo-
nopolist of the earth, of its products
and Of the products of industry, every
barnacle that is fastened upon modern
society, every drone who subsists and
grows fat upon the proceeds of the
labor of others, will fully coincide.
1t seemed to be an old fogy notion of
the men who signed the Declaration of
Independence something more than q
hundred years ago that the rights Of
men should constitute the foundation
upon which society should rest; but
this notion has become obsolete in
these days of aristocratic domination.
Property rights are now placed above
human rights, and the millionaire silver
propagsndlst seems to take the same
view of this matter as the millionaire
gold bug. AS we have frequently had
occasion to observe, the silver propa-
gandist who is seeking to Sidetrack the
populist party upon single issue, has
no sympathy with the more important
problems which the peoples party was
organized to solve. He is q natural
born aristocrst and monopollst, and
he differs from the gold-bug monopo.
list only in the fact that he desires
silver as we'll As gold to serve as basis
for monopolistic money system.
A few populists have desired to com.
ply with the demand of these men of a
single idea and drop every other ques-
tion except the money question for the
time being, believing that the other
populist demands could be taken up
and settled later. The futility of such
a hope ought to be clear to blind
man. Men who place property rights
above human rights as foundation
upon which to construct society, can
not be relied upon to favor any of the
measures which are designed to secure
universal justice and fair opportuni-
ties of life to all mankind. Hold on
to the faith as set forth In the second
declaration of independence and keep
in the middle Of the road. All other
paths lead to destruction.

What Is the Cause?

In these days when the bogy Of 'over-
production" is being held up to frighten
the producers In their campaign for an
honest system of money legislation, in
cidents like the following have more
than ordinary point. These two facts
are from daily paper published in this
city, and they can be paralleled by ex-
periences which have come under our
own personal observation. The first
one might be amusing did it not tell
tale OF povertY-too sad to be passed
over lightly: "a laborer, Hugo Rsnnsr,
went home to his furnished lodgings
the other evening, bringing with him a
black poodle dog. Rsnner was without
work and money, and hunger had made
him steal the dog. He slaughtered 1t
and he and his landlsdy mads feast Of
it. Day before yesterday Renner wsa
sentenced to four months in jail for the
theft Of dog" The second is more
narrowing. The account says: "The
other day man was arrested for beg
giDg. He had the corpse Uf 2-yesr-old
child in his arms and begged money to
bury the little one. The police sscer-
tanned that this man, a lsborer named
Fengler, who had been injured az work,
and was without occupation, had seven
children at home starving; that the
little one had actually died Of hunger;
and that he himself had touched no
food for forty eight hours"
Such are the details of the extrem-
tiles to which starvation reduces the un.
fortunate in this day Of low prioes and
"overpoduction." While the number
who reach actual starvation ia not large,
there are thousands upon thousands on
the verge. They lack food, clothing and
the commonsst necessities OF life. Our
cities are full OF them. Hard grinding
poverty keeps them In poor houses, In
crowded quarters Of the city where bad
air and all unoleanness polluts the moral
and physical health. Thousands OF
children never have a chance to grow up
good citizens. They are doomed from
birth to life Of criminslity and disease,
owing partly to the vices OF their par.
snts, but more directly to their poverty.
Meanwhile, the accumulation Of wealth
In the hands Of the few is each year
more apparent. The great evil, as It
seems to us, is not ovsrproduction, but

4 BURDEN AND A DISGRACE.

condition Of things existing In Topeka
two years ago as is now attributable to
the metropolitan police force, there Is
no telling what the indignant populace
would have done. The local and East
ern papers would have been filled with
denunciations of populist methods,
and the policeman who escaped tar
and feathers would have been much
better than the average of the present
force.
To make the best of it, the metropol.
itan police system is gigantic impo-
sition-a relic Of Kansas days Of po-
litical vice and corruption. Yet there
is no reason why the indulgence of the
people should suffer it to continue as it
Is going. The governor appoints
board Of police commissioners who
may employ small army of lazy, dis
honest scoundrels, and say to the city,
.'you foot the bill"
The present force is not composed
wholly Of the dlsreputable element,
but too largely so. If merchant or any
shop-keeper wants any attention paid
to his store during the night he would
better employ watchman, while
the policemen, who are supposed to be
patrolling the streets, 60 sneaking
around alleys and residences looking
for a crap game or chance to confs-
y cate bottle Of beer. If not engaged
In that they may be breaking into pri-
vate houses, hoping to run onto some
thing that will enable them to hold up
citizen for few dollars.
1t is only few days since q private
house on Quincy street was broken into
by policemen, while Its tenants were
away on visit. On coming home they
found that the uniformed outlaws had
not even taken the pains to close the
house, but had left the household
goods exposed to the public. Several
other instances of house breaking SIM
liar to the above could be cited.
Four young men went to the home Of
one Of them to spend quiet evening,
the lady Of the house being away from
home. In a short time the patrol
wagon arrived, several policemen
forced an entrance to the house, ar
rested the men, who were making no
disturbance whatever, rsnsacked the
house to find evidence OF supposed
gambling, and caused general dis
turbance.
Last week two farmers started to
drive some market cattle down Kansas
avenue, not knowing that they were
violating an ordinance. A policeman
interfered and there was misunder-
standing as to which way the cattle
should be driven. One man lost pa
tienCe and talked sharply to the officer.
He was arrested and fined $l5 and
costs. This kind of work is calculated
to attract trade to Topeka.
The spotter gang of this disrepu
table outfit make suspicion of liquor
selling an excuse for all manner Of
Outrages. One day they went to the
Russian quarter in North Topeka and
succeeded in finding q jug Of whisky.
AS nobody offered to "put up" to
avoid arrest they went after the man
who was supposed to own the jug. His
friends interfered and the result was
