A Banker for silver.

Captain James III. Smith, of the First
National bank of Sterling, although a
banker, and one who might be expected
to have single gold standard ideas, is a
pronounced silver man. The follow.
ing extracts are taken from some re-
marks recently made by him:
"The single standard will ruin our
country and its credit. We haven't
gold enough to base our large circula-
tion on. 1t leaves the government at
the mercy of designing capital. This
fact forces gold to a premium. 1t
scares gold and it in a measure goes
out Of circulation. This reduces the
circulation by at least 900 million dol
lars of active and willing money.

finances of this country which, If we
allow her to do, will place as at the
mercy of London. 4 believe in sbso-
lutte financial freedom for this country,

Districts Not Abolished.

Judge Frank Doster, of Marion, was
in the city Monday attending to some
cases in the federal court. The Judge
is looking well, and he contemplstes
making trip in the near future to the
coffee fields in Old Mexico, in which
he has some money invested.
Asked in regard to the judicial stu
alton in his district, the Judge ex.
pressed the opinion that his district
would not be affected by the recent
act of the legislature sbolishing it, as
the law provides that it shall be disor-
ganized prior to the termination of the
term of the present incumbent He
holds that such an act Is not constitu.
tional from the fact that Judge must
have the privilege of serving out the
term for which he Is elected and that
the retention Of a Judge on pay with
out any place or district In which to
hold court would not be constitu-
tional act. The law in the case of the
Marion district provides that the dis.
trict shall be abolished October Is,
and Judge Esrrs term will not expire
until the second Monday in January,
1896. The Judge thinks that the su-
preme court will have a case involving
these points during the September Sit
ting and that a decision will be handed
down sufficiently early to enable the
various districts to nominate and elect
this fall.

IN A HARD WAY.

Mcpherson County Republicans Decline to
IndOrSe the Redeemer Administration.
Out in Mcpherson county where Jim
Simpson, ex-chairman of the republi-
can state committee, and Farmer
Smith reside, republican convention
was held last week. 1t would be natu-
raj to suppose that q great leader like
Simpson, who had been honored with
an appointment as railroad commits
sioner, which carries with it the con-
troll of some few passes and other things
that are handy in exerting influence,
would be able to get his home conVen-
tion to indorse the administration of
which he was part. However, the
republicans Of that county would not
and did not do anything of the kind.
This is simply another evidence that
the present administration is not fool
ing the rank and file of the party. The
people at large are in favor of honest
economical government and are OPP
posed to such a mis6t conglomeration
of professional officeholders as are now
foraging at will on the treasury and
overriding the will and desire of the
people. Mcpherson county republi-
cans indicate the feeling nt a large ma

and compelled to pay a ransom Of 81
and costs.
To gaze over the militia camp in a
cool and unprejudiced manner makes
q man feel that swelling of the heart
he ne'er can feel again, unless it
is when he comes to pay his taxes. 1t
is 80 real and life like. Everything is
conducted according to the latest and
most approved methods of modern
warfare You might say the most de-
structive methods, for there has al
ready been q frightful destruction of
rations, such as fresh meats, vegetables,
pastry and fancy groceries. 1t appears
as if the whole city of Emporia were
bending its energies contributing to
the comfort and convenience of the
brave soldiers and helping to squsnder
that $4,000 the legislature appropri.
ated for the use of the militia in case
1t should be called into actual service.
To speak moro precisely, the militia
boys are having roaring time down
there, regardless of expense. The
camp is q dream Of modern appurte-
nsnces and conveniences. The faith
full soldier, during the lull of battle,
slskes his thirst with ice water, or, if
he is afraid of the microbes, takes
soda pop or lemonade with "stick
in it. Not content with either, he
takes furlough and finds a drink
which the brewers calculated should
make him more courageous. When
the hot and hsrd-fought day is done,
the camp is brilliantly lighted by elec
tricity, so that the soldiers who are
forsging and accommodating around
town, las most of them do at night,
can find their way back to camp. 1t is
this night soldering that is making
life a burden to the civilians of EN-
poris. Some of them say they wish
the governor would send his militia
down to fight the insurrectionists in
Cuba, or the Indians in Wyoming, in
stead Of letting them turn Emporia
upside down.
1t is great thing, this militia en-
csmpment. There never was cent Of
money appropriated for that purpose,
but the attorney general bravely came
to the rescue of the governor and Gen
ersl Tln-soldier Hughes with an opin-
ion advising them to use the war sp-
preparation, and they are doing it.
Great is redemption.

deserving waEe-esrner is crowded out to make
room for the imported laborers from Europe
who by their habits Of dirt and squalor are
enabled to live on much less wages than is re-
auired by American citizens By lowering
the scale Of the wage-earner, the profits of the
coal syndicate are increased, but the price Ia
the consumer is not materially affected.
There is not one redeeming feature in this
system Of free trade In labor. 1t robs the
American laborer Of his just dues and plants
in American home life the seeds Of discon'
tent, socialism and ruin. The first duty Of
the new congress is. to protect American Ia
Dor by closing the doors to the slums Of Eu
rope.
Does the editor of the Champion
really know "where he is atY" Here
we are told that the American protec.
tive system, which affords protected
market to the manufacturer for the
sale of his products, and a free trade
market in which to purchase his labor,
and which the wicked populist con
gressmen ''joined hands with the CO.
horts of President Cleveland to strike
down" is system that "hss not one
redeeming featuress-thst sit robs the
American laborer of his just dues and
plants in American home life the seeds
of discomfort, socialism and ruin"
But further; we submit to the Cham.
pion, whose congressman joined hands
with the democrats to strike down our
currency at the behest of the 'British
syndicates who govern Wall street and
dictate the policy of the United States
treasury and to establish the single
gold standard in this country" Had
the followers of the Champion "been
sincere in their pledges" republican
congressman would not have betrayed
the people as they did in the special
session of 1893. Talk of sincerity and
honesty! Does Governor Felt claim
any for his party9 When and where
have they been exhibitedp
The Champion msnifests it's own in
sincerity and dishonesty also when it
further panders to the prejudices of the
people in its talk about "the idle,
wicked and dangerous language that
made anarchy raise its horrid head in
Chicago and sent Parsons to the gal
lows" 1t seems impossible for the
average republican editor to discuss any
question relating to the revolt against
the unjust conditions of the times with
out calling up the bugsboo of anarchy.
If the editor of the Champion cared to
know or tell the truth in relation to
Parsons and his associates, he would
know and say that these men, who were
hung under tho charge Of murder, were
as innocent of any crime as he is him
self. He would know and say that the
msn who threw the Haymarket bomb
was employed to do it in order to fur.
nish a pretext for the arrest of men
who were telling the workingmen of
Chicago altogether too much truth;
that the bomb-thrower was afterwards
assisted to escape by the uniformed
thugs of the city, and that he recently
died in Honduras of injuries received
in some fracas in that country. But it
is not the truth that he wants. Truth
would not serve his partisan purposes.

Stories of the Rescue,

M. E. Letzon, dairyman of this
city, was in the ruins ten hours before
he was rescued. His injuries are a
crushed arm, several Commissions and
the shock to his nerves. Mr.. Letzon
said:
II was more encased than pinioned,
as only my left leg, there where you
see the bandages, and my right arm,
were held down by any weights. You
cannot have the faintest idea of my
feelings, as I lay there in the bottom
OF the basement with the mass of ruins
on top of me and around me, hearing
the excruciating cries of those diving
and in agony, and being almost over
come by the shock and smoke, soaked
with water, and almost drowned. and
fearing that the next moment would
be burned alive"
Joe Munal was found in the base
ment, dressed only in his underclothes
and completely covered with ashes and
dirt When he revived he said: 81

The Late Indian Troubles.

Washington, August 22.-The ques-
ton of what action should be taken by
the government in regard to the killing
of Bannock Indians in the jackson
Hole country, July 10, has been refer
red to the department of justice. 1t
is understood that communication on
the subject was forwarded there today,
which recites the circumstances in the
case, and ends with a strong recon-
mendation for an investigation by the
department.. 1t is understood that the
attorney general will send special
agents to Jackson's Hole and that the
services of the Indian inspectors will
be offered as assistants. Agent Tetor
will probably not form part of the COM
mission, as he has taken so prominent
a part in the troubles that the settlers
are greatly prejudiced against him.
1t is believed that the arrest of certain
settlers by the United States authori-
ties has been recommended so that the
case may be brought into court, and
that the relative weight of the treaty
with the Bannocks and the laws of
Wyoming may be judiciously deter
mined

The City's Remarkable Record for Sui
cides and Murders.
San Francisco, August 80. - San
Francisco, London and Paris show an
alarming increase of suicides within
the past six months. Students of psy-
Geological subjects are trying to fathom
the reasons, but no light has yet been
shed upon the subject. Coroner
Hawkins, of this city, has had more
inquests over suicides since January
than were ever held in San Francisco
during an equal period. Since he took
charge of the Office seven months ago,
"a suicides have come to his notice, be-
ing nearly as many as occurred in 1898
or 1894. The following is the mum Der
of suicides each month of 1896:
January, 5; February, 8; March, 12;
April, 10; May, IL; June, ID; July,
10; to August 81, 10; total. "a. There
were but 112 suicides in 1898 and 1875
in 1894, but if the same rate continues
to the end Of the year, the coroner's
records will show nearly ITO suicides
for the year.
Coroner Hawkins reign has thus far
been noted also for an excessive num-
Der of murders. There have already
been 30, while there were but % dur
ing all of 1898 and but 33 in 1894.

Great Improvement Shown in the Net
Earnings for the Fiscal Year.
New York, August 20.-Greatly i'm
proved net railway earnings are shown
in carefully prepared special report
to Bradstreet's, an abstract of which
is as follows:
The gross earnings of 145 railroad
companies for the first six months of
1895 aggregate $349, O99,77 a gain
of 8. 6 per cent over the corresponding
period of 1894, which in turn, showed
a decrease from 1898 of 1914 per cent.
The net earnings of the same roads
for this year aggregate $102, 1857, 786,
a gain over last year of 81 per cent,
and following decrease of 1894 from
1898 of 1873 per cent.
Divided into groups, a striking uni
formity is noted in the increases and de-
creases in the gross and net. Of the
1875 railroad systems comprising 145
roads, which make up the appended
table, two-thirds show decreases. The
figures show the percentage of increase
or decrease. Those marked with an
asterisk indicate decrease:
