One Ellinwood man gave $4,000 in
gold as Christmas presents.
Mr.. Mosel and family. of Topeka, are
in the city visiting relatives and friends
this week.
Lightning was seen frequently Sun.
day night just before it began to snow.
Lightning in January is rather an unus-

The most remarkable thing that we
have seen in a republican newspaper in
Kansas during the past year is in the
paragraph in the Florence Bulistin
which says that Lewelling is a sane
man.
To see wild geese in this section of
the country at this season of the year is
one of the infalible signs of the break
ing up of winter. Several hocks have
been seen in this vicinity during the
past few days.

The Indian School.

Most Kansas people are not aware
of the magnitude of the U. S. Indian
schools. the Haskell Institute. at Law
renee. It is second only to the school
at Carlisle, Pa, and is now wonder
fully equipped for giving the young
aborigines thorough industrial educa-
tion. ThOrugh the courtesy of Major
Swett, the superintendent of these
schools, and the hospitality of the
citizens of Lawrence, those attending
the Kansas Editorial Association meet
ing last week were entertained at the
Indian schools in magnificent STYLE
There are about 800 acres of farm
lands connected with the Carlisle in
stitute, and a large number of fine
buildings, located On a prominence
overlooking the beautiful city of Law
renee. There are, we believe, 326
pupils now in attendance, ranging in
ages from 5 to q years; the most of
them being boys. Besides being given
an education in all the common
branches of learning, the students are
taught craftsmanship of all kinds.
There are wagon shops, pant shops, a
bakery, machine shops, harness shops
blacksmith, carpenter shoe,. and
cabinetmaker shops; Laundry, "a
tailor shop, conservatory of music and
various other departments where all
trades and professions are taught.
The visitors, among them beiag the
DEMOCRAT editor and wife, Spent a
most interesting and instructive fore
noon visiting these varied places. At
noon we were treated to an excellent
dinner in the large dining hallof the
institution, and treated to some excel
! lentlY executed music by the brass
! band and orchestra of which
were composed of the Indian students.
This school, together with the state
university, makes Lawrence one of the
most interesting places in Kansas to
visit.

THE sworn statements of the differ

show that the republicon candidates
spent about twice the amount of money
during the campaign that the populIsts
did. The expenses of the democratic
candidates are represented by zero.

this fact, and the question naturally
arises, where would the other fellows

aside their honesty and Jeffersonian
simplicity and squandered their money

AS THE populist senate refused to go
into joint session with the republican
house to elect us state printer, the
republicans had to provide one for
themselves. With two state printers,
as it seems we now have, we had ought
to get cheap printing and have it out
on time. Legislative bodies seem to do
as they please, no matter what they
spirit exists there is a desire to do as
I'VE please" instead of following the
wishes of the people who put them into
office.

Gov. Morrill,, in His inaugural,
Talks Hopefully for Kansas.
Topeka, Kan. Jan. 14.-TEe mild,
bright weather today made possible the
inaugural parade that had been planned
in connection with the ceremonies,
which, at noon, retired Gov. Lewelling
and his administration, and placed at
the head of state affairs of Kansas Gov
Morrill, and a full complement of Re-
publican officials, which constitute the
state cabinet.
Gov. Lewelling and Gov. Morrill, led
the parade in carriage and were
driven to the house of Representatives
AT high noon the oath of office was adj
ministered. the inaugural address was
delivered, and nothing remained to COM
plete thu ceremonies but the grand ball
tonight.
Gov. Morrill,, in his message, reviews
the part taken by Kansas Ill the civil
war. and continues:
Since that date the state has had Il
strange, almost weird, history and ex-
perlence.. Prosperity and adversely
nave followed each other in quick sue
cession.
The governor then places Kansas in
the forefront in the educational sphere,
and quotes from statistics to show that
the state debt is practically wiped out.
He protests against the efforts made to
damage the states credit, and con-
clndes as follows:
''lf we are faithful to ourselves and
live up 10 our opportunities, the aver
age life of existing farm mortgages will
lind abundant money-seeking invest
ment i'll their renewal. But to accom-
pllsll this we must cease talking about
reputation, and we must show an hon.
est purpose to pay our obligations by
striking from our statute books every
law that has been enacted to delay and
hinder the collection of lust debts.

REPoRT ON a REpoRT.


Since the partial publication of the
pine land investigating committees re-
port. Dec. %, careful researches have
been made relative to the claims Of the
committee, and the result is laid before
the readers of the GLOBE in another
column. This is done with no view to
disparaging the work OF the committee,
without fear, favor or prejudice, ana
solely for the purpose of giving the
members OF the legislature to whom the
report must be submitted every poSSib lie
aid in arriving at just conclusion as to
the efficiency OF the committees work.
The facts cited are taken from records
which can easily be reached and con-
suited, hence there can be no attempt to
deceive Or mislead
1t was to be expected that commit
tee having no practical experience in the
business OF logging and the operations
connected with it would be at great
disadvantage. and if the committee has
made anything short OF complete sue
cess Of its work the fact may safely be
attributed to this lack Of experience; it
Certainty Is NUb uue W any ldCh VI LCdl.
The main question at issue seems to
be that of the right OF the state, through
its representative i'll the land Office, to
issue certain permits to cut timber. II
this is The sole contention, then it would
seem that a very simple enactment
would settle this matter. If such per-
mits have been issued. and if lumber
men have accepted them in good faith,
aud cut and paid for timber on the
authority Of such permits. it would GER
tainly appear that the officials issuing
them, and not the men who accepted
them, should be Liable for any loss OF
damage to the state. The question is
one upon which the legislature will
doubtless pass some practical legisla-
ton. and it is witt. view to aiding IN
the accomplishment of sdch a result
that the GLOBE publishes the facts
which it has gathered bearing upon this
question. At least, let there be a law
which will hold every public official and
his boAdsmen strictly accountable for
his every official act.

our present intolerable condition is
ruineus. Industry cannot revive as
dong as distrust of the currency exists.
Men will not invest their money i'll EN-.
terprises as long as doubt exists as TO
its return in a condition OF solvency.
We have tioated along in a current
which we have bad ample warning
would inevitably bring us into serious
trouble. The wise policy of McCulloch
of retiring our greenbacks was stopped
and policy of silver initiation begun.
AS long as revenues were redundant the
effect was not felt. Like man in the
full tide of health and energy whose
violation of hygienic laws produced no
immediate perceptible effect, and who
believed he could defy them with i'm
purity, we set at defiance every law or
finance evolved from the experience OF
all peoples, and our career of folly cul.
minated in the Sherman act. Then came
the revuiSion. Revenues shrank; def
cts appeared; confidence wavered;
Gresham's law operated to make men
hoard the money sound everywhere and
put out that sound as yet only here; Sc.
curities came hurrylng home for sale,
and gold flowed out to take their place.
Borrowing began. and has not yet ended.
There is but one course out of this
situation. and this congress must take 1t
or leave it to be taken by It's successor.
There must be an entire enforcement OF
the government from the banking busi-
ness. The drain on the gold must be
plugged up. Ii there is no way to stop
it except by borrowing money, borrow
it. Better pay interest on debt, better
increase debt that was unwisely re-
duced by buying bonds at premium of
% to 80 per cent, than to have this pa
ralysis of industry continue longer. Ii
Secretary Carlisle's wise plan OF maxi
ing the legal tenders banking fund,
thus stopping the drain, is discarded,
and bonds only will get US relief, then
let us have the bonds. If this congress
is afraid TO accept the responsibility or
is incapable of solving the problem, then
let its successor be called to its work
promptly. We have faith that the mat
ter will be settled before congress ad-
journs. We believe that Jones' bill
will be accepted. Perhaps, in view Of
the fate of the Carlisle bill. it would be
Safer to say it should be.
