JERRY SIMPSON makes a feeble de-
NAL of the charge of having sold the
garden seed he ought to have sent the
farmers of his district. 1t will also be
remembered that he denied his selling
out on the anti-option bill but it was
afterwards proved on him.-Kingman
Leader Courier.
Why don't you face the situation
squarely and honorably? Either prove
your allegations or admit yourself un-
worthy of the name of man. If our
article of the 3rd was feeble denial, .
we should like to know what, in the
estimation of the Leader Courier, it re-
quires to make it strong. The state
ment that sit was proved on him. that
he sold out on the anti option bill is a
republican fabrication, a lie and a
Islander. If 1t was proved, why don't
you submit your evidence, why are you
so careful to keep it concealed? 1t
takes more than the word of one lone
political demagogue to prove a thing
Give us some substantial evidence.

We clip the following from a Mis-
souri, paper which would be very SUBJ
stantial were it not for the fact that
too much attention is paid to other
nations. That the free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of Is to would result
beneficial to all nations is self evident,
yet we are a progressive and invincible
people and we care very little what
others want. We are for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to unconditionally, and without
regard as to what other nations may
or may not do or want That's patri-
otto Americanism for you.
President }. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern Railroad whose ability as
finaDcier is unquestioned, brings
back from recent European trip adj
ditional evidence of the growing senti-
ment in England in favor of blmetal-
ism.
Mr.. Hill says both the manufacturing
and agricultural interests Of England
charge the greater part of the depreS-
sion from which they are suffering to
the decentralization of silver, and are
exerting strong pressure ON the British
government TO join in the effort to re-
habilitate it as money metal. They
are beginning to realize, he says. that
Great Britain is being outstrlpped and
deprived of her trade by silver using
countries and hence bringing silver ur
to an equality in the minis with gold
is necessary act of seltdefense.
AS to the ratio to be maintained Mr.
Hill has clear and de&ded opinion
He says the ratio of gold and silver
taken for one thousand years, as long
as we have history on the subject, has
renamed practically the same. Ii
may change for short periods but fol
long periods it strikes surprisingly close
to Is 1-2 or 16 to 1. If the metals have
been interchangeable for so many
hundred years at this ratio he does no
see any difficulty in making them in
Interchangeable at this ratio now, pro
vided the leading nations are willing
to accept it,"

NO CORRUPTION. EH2

When Lewelling had been in office
three months scandals were thick
around his administration. His prl-
vate secretary and attorney general
had accepted brides and he had ap-
pointed criminals to high office. Nor
Till has been in office three months.
There has not been the breath of
scandal or a charge of corruption about
his administration. These are facts
which will be most gratifying TO the
masses of the people who ars in favor
OF clean gOvernment.-Kin Lead
er-Courier.
Say, Mr.. administration appointee,
have you ever read the Topeka State
Journal, the leading republican paperof
the state, which nearly every day con-
tains articles in bold and flaming head
lines telling how Governor Morrill, is
daily violating his oath, how he is be-
ing managed by the bum element of
the state etc.? and vet Won
have the gall to say there has
not been the breath of scandal nor a
charge of corruption" Have you ever
read the Troy Chief when Sol Miller
went after 'em red eyed and grimm -
when he spoke out in meetin' - onthis
administration, and was only quieted
by an immediate appointments to a
lucrative office? Have you read l. o.
chickering's letter to Gov. Morrillp
Have you ever read the Kansas CITY
Gazette, another republican sheet
which literally ripped MY Dear Gov
ernor" up one side and down the other
for being domineered by the IawIess
element Of the state? In short, are
you ignorant and mlsinformed, or was
it In the contract when your appoint
ment was rendered you, that you de-
fend the administration though rotten
rs ieper9 The average Kansan. when
he reads the above squib, will regard
1t as a huge joke. Lewelling may have
made some mistakes but compared
with the present administration he
was governor to be proud of, at
least that's what the leading republi-
ian paper OF the state has said. and
existing conditions prove it to be quite
well put.

Dolly Madison was the second of
six children in a family of Friends, and
was named for her aunt, Mrs. Patrick
Henry. When she started out for the
village school, where most of her edu-
cation was received, her mother always
sewed her sunbOnnet under her pretty
chin and covered her face with linen
mask to protect the delicate complexion.
At nineteen she was tall, slender, grace
full, with a dazzling complexion and
sweet, blue eyes. She refused Mr.
John Todd, wealthy young lawyer,
and said that she never intended to
marry, but by the request of her father
reconsidered and accepted the young
man. After three happy years Mr.
Todd died, and few years later James
Madison, who was considered an incor-
rigible bachelor, became her husband
and she went to grace the White house.

Let congress pass law that every
landlord shall give receipt for rent.
That rent receipts in excess of $4,000
for any one year. shall be stamped by
the landlord with an internal revenue
stamp of ten cents for every dollar
named in the receipt. This would be
an indirect tax, same as the old stamp
law was. However, the supreme court
as at present constituted would likely
hold it unconstitutional Justice
Field would likely hold it unconstitu-
tional, as it only reached the landlords
and did not reach the renters. 4 tax
on property is an assault upon wealth
is really the position Field takes. We
cannot imagine constitutional tax
consistent with Fields views EXCEPT

The latest marvel In electrical inven'
tons is that Of telegraphing from Scot
land to the Island of Null by induc-
ton, that is, without any wire connect
ing the stations. The principle Is not
a new one, but hitherto its application
has been limited to short distances
through the earth or water. In the
case reported it was successfully used
at long distances through the air. II
this can be made feasible important
changes in telegraphic and telephone
systems are inevitable. The disappear
ance of the unsightly and dangerous
wires would be welcome on many &C
counts.
