The PrOper Gamer.

A few days ago the Topeka Journal
called attention TO the fact that Gov.
Morrill, had, after his inauguration,
paid his private secretary, his stenog
rapher, his clerk and his Office ex-
penses In the Columbian building
during the thirty days he had his
Office there prior TO his inauguration
out Of the governors contingent fund.
The number and amount Of each
voucher for these payments on file in
the auditors Office was given.
During these thirty days Governor
Morrill, was private citizen and on
what theory he, or any other mortal,
could conaider it proper to pay his
expenses out OF the state treasury in
the first instance is beyond our COM
prehensiOn. 1t is only just TO State
Auditor Cole to state that the vouch.
ers were paid during his absence.
When his attention was called TO the
matter he called upon ATTORNEY Gen,
eral Davis for an opinion as to the
legality Of these payments.
On the 2nd inst. Mr.. Davis sub.
mitted his opinion TO Mr.. Cole, in
which Of course he holds that these
claims were illegal. In accordance
with this opinion the employees OF
the governors Office who drew their
salaries for the time mentioned placed
their vouchers for their April salaries
in the contingent fund TO replace the
money wrongfully drawn therefrom.
This is one OF the incidents OF the
present administration that has not
struck popular cord in the Republi-
can ranks and We are much pleased To
see it Strengthened out in such good
shape at this early day.-Mail.

virtue. There is no Disgusting the
fact and society may as we'll meet this
social contingency now as later on.
1t is simply ruinous and damnable in
its tendencies and effects upon society
at large. An impure womanhood
means the downfall and absolute deg
relation Of the whole race. The en-
yirOnments Of a woman are naturally
against her. Character thieves and
asSasSins constantly lie in her path to
rob her Of her virtue and TO kill her
womanhOOd. If such enemies were
limited 60 the low, the degraded and
vulgar elements Of society, it would
not cause the same alarm and CON-
ment it does, when extended to men
high in social and public distinction.
The former would be kicked from the
threshold of pure homes, the latter is
admitted TO its inner sanctity al
though as great a Scoundrel. The
amount Of prostitution and debauch.
cry going on in public life alone, is
simply astounding. Themoral atmOs-
phere Of legislatures and congresses is
foully tainted with lechery and lust.
So much so had this become in this
state, that the system of employing
enrolling clerks was done away with
to suppress that part OF the scandal.
Pure women were often miSjudged
because Others Of loose morals were
placed by lecherous legislators upon
the force. Then again the evidences
OF Mrs. Lease and other credible wit
nesSeS as to the immoral conduct of
certain officials now under investiga-
ton, in state institutions reveals the
same Smoking story OF lewdness and
vice. The foundations of society
tremble under the pressure of social
evils which threaten the direSt de-
structi0n. The time has come for a
general awakening. Let the truth be
Numbered from pulpit and press.
Let public indignation hurl from pub
lie place men who defy good morals
and revel in debauchery. Turn on
the search light and be he Republic
can, POpulist or Democrat, let the
truth and justice prevail.-Caldwell

When the Time Comes?

| believe in America, i believe in
an American policy and | believe in
American money when the time
comes.
This is one of the utterances of
United States Senator Lucien Baker
in his recent speech TO the Republic
can state league. If he had omitted
the last four words of this utterance
we could have agreed very heartily
with him.
when the time comes" What is
the significance of this qualifying
clause? 81 believe in American
mOney"-not now-but when the
time comes" Is this to be taken as
an admission of the truth that our
present money is American in name
only; that in reality our monetary
system is prescribed and controlled
by other than American influences
and American policies? If this is not
true, why does not Senator Baker be
lieye in american money" right
now?
Then again, when is the time for
American money to come? What
ends are to be attained, what condi-
tions brought about before Mr.. Baker
is in favor Of American money!" Is
the trend Of the times toward or
away from such conditions? What is
to make any future period more
prOpiLious for the inauguration Of an
American policy that will establish
American money" as a reality?
Senator Baker is United States
senator. AS such he is naturally
looked upon as leader in Republican
policies and opinions. He is in a
position where his opinions expressed
in debate or in "aye" or may" count
for more than those Of any other Kan.

this sentiment by Senator Baker took

ey question. But we presume he is

report shows that in the fifty-twO

the principal wheat producing coun-

raise larger crop than last year; in
twenty-six counties the crop will be

In arriving at a conclusion upon
this point it should be remembered
that up to that time the United
States had no monetary system of its
own. All the money in circulation in
this country was the coin Of foreign
nations. 1t had not yet been decided
what the money unit" as AleXand er
Hamilton called it, or tue unit of
value should be nor had the name by
which it should be called been de.
termined upon. A unit Of value was
necessary as starting point in the
reckoning of all money: the name of
that Nancy was a mere matter of
taste. England had named her unit
a "pCur9;' France called hers a
Franc" Germany preferred the
name mark" Spain had selected the
name dollar" for her money unit.
As we saw in our last article congress
defined. fixed or described the I'm ,ney
unit" in section nine of the act Of
1892. In section twenty Of the same
act they NAMED it as follows: THE
money on account OF the United
States shall be expressed in dollars or
units" dimes, cents and mills.
Alexander Hamilton, IN his report
to congress, made certain recOmmen-
datiOns as to what coins should be
minted, Among those he mentioned
were the following, using his own
language:l lone gold piece equal in
weight and value to ten units or dol
lars. One gold peice equal to a tenth
part of the former and which shall be
a unit or dollar. One silver piece
which shall also be d unit or dollar"
Thus congress had placed fairly and
sQuarely before it the proposition and
recommendation of the secretary of
the treasury to mint two separate
district coins each of which SHALL BE
unit or dollar, viz: Zone gold piece
which SHALL BE a unit
or dollar" Zone silver piece which
shall also be unit or dollar"
What did congress do? In section
nine of the act which followed Ham
iltOn's report they defined and de.
scribed the pieces" or coins that
should be minted. When they come
to the point of fixing the unit or dol
lar they say: Dollars or units-each
to be of the value of Spanish milled
dollar, as the same is now current,
and to contain 37l3 grains of purenOr
4l6 grains of standard silver" They
omit to say anything whatsoever
about Mr.. HamiltOn's Zone gold
piece, which SHALL BE a unit or dol
lar" Only three gold coins were pro-
vided for, the eagle, -half-eagle and
Quarter-eagle and these are declared
to be OF THE VALUE OF ten dollars.
| five dollars and two and a half dol
lars respectively and to our mind this
is very different from declaring them
TO BE so IIany dollars.
Our conclusions upon this PROPOSE
ton is that, in the general accepta.
tiOn of that term, and as matter OF
fact, the act Of 1892 established a
single silver standard as the basis OF
the monetary system Of the United
States. Moreover, we believe that
this step was taken advisedly, after
thoroughly considering Mr.. Hamil
tons proposition for a double stan
dard and that the policy thus adopt.
