THIRD AND LAST MONTH.

REPUBLIC.


The extraordinary distribution of $4,000 in
gifts to subscribers of the Twice-a-Week Re-
public of st. Louis, which was begun by that
paper last July, win end on September 30th.
The Twice-a-Week Republic has the largest
circulation of any newspaper or periodical in
Western United States, because OF it's general
excellence and it intends to increase the num-
Der of it's readers by means of this unparallel-
ed offer. 1t gave away nearly $4,000 in pres
ents during July to subscribers who answered
correctly the question: '.Where does the
word silver first occur in the bible?o and dur
ing August it gave away nearly 5000 in gifts
to those who were the first to tell: where the
word gift first occurred in the bible.''
The remainder of the 10000 in gifts will be
distributed during September to subscribers
who will tell where the word paper first &C.
ours in the bible. One thousand extra prizes
of special value are to be awarded to the FIRST
700 aud last 800 persons who send correct an
swer to this qu estIon and enclose 81 TO pay

WESTERN people are the most eX-
travagant in the world" says Bent
Murdoch; "they need to learn the value
of pennies" There is good deal of
solid truth in this. The average west
ern man does not think any thing less
than 500 worth saving. The frugal
habits of the down easterner trans
planted to Kansas would make this
state loaner instead of a borrower
inside of ten years.-Topeka Capital.
The same old line of republican ar
gument. The farmers and laborers
should be more economical; they should
take meal of beans and bacon once a
week. they should never wear decent
clothes but 'save the pennies and not
murmur about low wages. A large
majority of the citizens have been fol-
| lowing this advice but it seems to have
had the wrong effect. The theory that
the laborers and producers of this coun-
try should be deprived of the luxuries
and comforts of life is false and con-
| temptible although it is universally
practiced. If any one deserves share
of the fruits of labor, it is the man who
is instrumental in their production;
and if there is any one who does not
deserve them, it is the man who sits
in high aristocratic circles and appro-
PIRATES the products of labor without
having given one day to honest toll.
The average farmer of Kansas will be
slow to believe that the present con.
dition of things was brought about
by his extravaganza"

DENYING false report started by the
opposition against populist candidates
this fall seems to be one duty that we
are to be confronted with during the
entire campaign. One of the latest is
that Henry Walker, our candidate for
commissioner of the third district, is a
herd-Iaw man. Mr.. Walker is and al
ways las been an outspoken anti-herd
law man and the records in the county
clerks Office bearing his signature to
remonstrances to herd law when the
measure was discussed and advocated
in this county, will prove this without
any other evidence. Anyone who will
call on Mr.. Walker can find just where
he stands on this question without TAX
ing the word of other parties.

BUBBLE IN kAFFIRs.
When it Bursts Mr.. Mccall Thinks Ameri-
cans VIII Have Rise.

New York, October 14.-Among the
passengers on the st. Louis, which
arrived on Saturday, was John A. Nc
Call, president OF the New York Life In
surance company.
Mr.. Mccall has been abroad more than
two months. In speaking Of the craze
over the Kaffir mining shares in London,
Paris and Berlin, Mr.. Mccall said to a
reporter yesterday:
''The mad rush for shares in the South
African mines by London investors was
the most astonishing thing in the way of
speculation / have ever seen. The pur-
chasers were like SO many hungry wolves
who couldn't be fed fast enough. There
seemed to be very little effort on the part
of the investors to make inquiries about
what they were buying Everybody was
buying, and everybody did what every
body else was doing. I remember one in
stance. The so-called King of the
Kaffirs, Barney Barnato, who was once,
believe, a circus performer, announc ed
in London the opening of a new mine in
the Transvaal, called The Coffin 1t
four feet deep. No one in London knew
anything about the mine. but the shares
were put upon the market and in no
time they were at a fabulous premium
''Of course, this is merely public specu-
lation, and it is only matter of time
when the bubble will burst. The bursting
has got to come, and when the reaction
sets in it will be. in my opinion. in
favor of American securities. Financiers
in London are already beginning to turn
their gaze from South Africa to America.

THE EPISCOPALIANS.
Still Fighting Over Kevision-Final Ad-
journm ent Next Week

Minneapolis, Mimi, October 14.-The
nearer the general convention of the
Episcopal church approaches final ad
joirnment the more improbable does it
appear that sufficient progress can be
made in the consideration of the revised
constitution and canons to enable the
completed document to be submitted to
the various dioceses, and thus enable
them to certify the approval or disapproy-
al to the triennial of Washington in 1898.
The net result of nearly two weeks
labor apart from routine business is the
adoption of three articles of the constitu-
tion, covering two pages of the report and
leaving several additional articles togeth-
er with 81 canons, covering some 80 pages
yet to be dealt with. In that portion of
the constitution which has still to run
the gauntlet of the committee of the
whols. are number of propositions
that may be subjected to as much de-
bate and vigorous antagonism as was ex
pended during the past week upon the
Introductory sections.
After securing the adoption of the reso-
luton providing for final adjournment,
Tuesday of next week the opposition to
revision in the house of deputies made an
effort to lay over the new constitution
and canons for three years. Debate upon
this proposal occupied the entire after
noon session, and was unfinished at ad-
journment.
