The newspapers viii break their necks
TO find out what the diplomatic confer
ence has done. But as ii has done
nothing at all the newspapers will find
out nothing.
After two days session the diplo-
matte conference should then adjourn
By this time the nation will be shocked
by the sensational news that the Board
Of Trade has sent out body of spies
to count the corn stalks at night This
will prove TO be the case. They will
find an immense corn crop in Kansas.
The price of corn will slump. The
diplomatic incident will then close. The
farmers will demand an indemnity
from the Board of Trade because the
information was not secured through
the French language and diplomatic
channels.
That is the way the nations Of the
world deal with one another, and the
evil has begun to creep into our private
rational affairs. One American be-
lieves in silver. and another in gold.
They are asked to settle the matter by
diplomatic international conference.
Why not settle our crop statistics the
same way?

as 4 rule, prtain to Kansas and seldom
fail Of being bold-faced lies. As Rev
Miner and other ProhibitionistS only
lest week denounced the Voice we have
no farther or possible interest in it and
we hope no more postage will be
wasted on us. If there is a rum
soaked city in America more pre-emi-
nent for its Bacchanalian life than an
other, it Is the home Of this same howl
ing Voice, whose prOprietors seem to
play the gudgeeons Of real temperance
states for support The Voice is a
great paper-in the eyes Of it's ad-
mirerS, no doubt. The name of the
head of the firm is Funk, his front name
presumably being Peter. However
that may be that paper eternally harps
the one thing. In its last issue the
declaration is made that Vassar college
was founded ON the proceeds Of a
brewery. There is nothing good any
where outside of New York, in the
estimation of the Voice, which winds
up an editorial on Kansas prohibition
by asserting that the only hope of sue
cess is In a national anti-SalOOn party.
This squirt was evidently made while
its editor for the moment forgot his
neighbOr Grover G. and his big national
deficit, In spite of the millions Of rev.

THE ILLEGITIMATE WAIF.

Travel seems to have brOadened
the views and enlarged the hearc of
Miss Francis Willard. Her concep-
tionS Of God seem to have grown apace
and the chances of His children, in
her estimation, to have improved. Her
declaration is true that the time when
it was held that intemperance was the
cause of poverty had completed its
circuit and now it is known that much
of the intemperance Of the present is
caused by poverty. I'm the slums they
drink to forget" said Miss Willard in
her London address. But Miss Willard
in true courage rose superior to her
sex and to half Of the men of the world,
when in speaking Of the wrongs of
woman and the prescribed child, she
asserted that another phrase that we
must chase out of the dictionary of
common speech with a scOurge of small
cords is the phrase AN illegitimate
child No such child was ever born.
Every Child that has appeader on this
sphere came here in the direct line
of those natural laws which are laws
of God, and are perfectly legitimate.
even dare to hope that the mother of
one Of these poor little waits, as we
are wont to call them, is made in some
sacred sense legitimate by the awful
sacrament Of pain and shame that she
endures. The only illegitimate factor
in the problem is the father, who
braves neither physical suffering nor
legal penalty, who is pillowed in peace
and comfort, while she, who by the
laws Of nature and God should, in
this hour Of her immeasurable need,
have been surrounded by his love and
sentineled by his protection, is left in
the night of her agony, with no eye to
pity, and no arm to save"

We have all felt sympathy for Prfn-

THE FARMERS EAR FOR A MINUTE.

Secretary Morton of the department
of agriculture, wrote TO Clerk Grant
of Norton county, for the condition Of
crops in that section. If this report
had been sent, it would have become
part Of 4 vast report the government
publishes relative to the exact condi-
ton Of the agricultural products of the
country. This table is compiled and
published. 1t has great deal to do
with the fluctuation of prices on the
boards of trade in the country. The
corn crop in Kansas looks very fine
An estimate of the likely yield, to be
commensurate with the average Kan
sans expectation, would cause the
price of corn on tn Chicago Board Of
Trade to drop like a fat man out of a
third-Story window.
Mr. Grant refused to send an esti-
mate. II Informed Secretary Morton
that he was not in favor of the skinned
giving further informa ton to the skin
ners, to be used in further skinning

From this il will be seen that he Kan
saS farming community Is fast rising
TO a high diplomatic plane. And ii
there is diplomacy in International gov
ernment, why not diplomacy between
the nation of farmers and the nation
of grain gamblers?
When il becomes necessary for the
Chicago Beard of Trade TO have figures
on the growing crops, let them send
out legation TO the state OF which
figures are required. Let them wear
gold cord and embroidered breeches.
On the other side let the farmers ap-
point diplomatic commission. The
farmers should rig themselves M in
scarlet vests and stick rooster feather
or two in their hats and meet the leca-
ton from the Board of Trade. Eyry-
thing should he carried on with tho
greatest dignity. The French Ian
guage should be used exclusively in the
conference. The French language is
the diplomatic language OF the world
and serves the purpose OF allowing
both sides 10 lie 10 the other fellows
without blushins outright The Kan
sas farmer viii find that he can say
that he viii raise only five bushels
OF corn TO the &cre, and, by using the
French language, never feel tie least

| under them, are images transferred
from a mind that miscued in early
youth, and superinduced at 4 later
period Of life by the delerium tremens.
In music the Wagner lunatics will
tramp up TO the bar Of public opinion
and confess that they see nothing r.
Wagner to admire or reverence; that
his m.lsic is not music ~ ali was not
intende for music; will never be music,
and that it was the output of a spav-
ined variety of blind-staggers insanity.
Also will come the Paderewski cranks
and confess that Pad. cannot play the
piano at all-that he simply hits the
keys at random and applause does the
rest
In the business world we will see
long procession ready to ease their
guilty souls. Among them will be the
merchant who sells goods at less than
cost; the gentleman who has fire sale
every time the fioOr-walker steps on a
match; the typewriter manufacturers
who announce daily that there is only
one durable typewriter on the market;
the circulating liars Of the newspapers;
the baking powder men; also the ''only
and best makers of yeast; also from
measles to consumption" patent medi-
cine men; and the ''gum good for the
digestion" testimonial writer.
And after most all the world has
been forward, the way will be cleared
and dead silence will fall and with 4
low, lugburiOus tone the spectators will
be asked to stand back and make room
for the politicians. They will all be
there; the men who have made false
promises; the men who have betrayed
friends; the men who have docked
subOrdinateS; the men who have charg-
ed double mileage; the men who have
sold their votes; the men who have
Sold themselves; the men who have
sold their constituents, and the men
in Washington who have sold the ma
ton.
And across the ocean the Rothschilds
will confess their long reign of grind

low-hung head and penitent humility,
throw their vast possessions into the
sea-but, no, that is going a little bit
too far.

of its empress having failed with pow

army dispatched in fleets of the long
ago, now seeks to subdue by that power
| with which she holds in subjection a
| chain OF lands that encircle the world.
What it cannot capture by the force
of arms it buys with gold. The Bank
Of England, which means the British
government, commands an army which
in being ever silent never sleeps, ex-
cept by continental divisions. It's
garrisons and squadrons are every
whre; its flying fotillas are upon every
sea, its platoons and Iegions are under
every sun where there are banks or
commerce or Industrial life. It's CO.

millions Of India, on the children of
Africa and on the plodding survivors
of the historic Nile, alike. The newest
continent to civilization, Australia, be-
longs to its crown, and half Of our
