Following these headlines the World
walls as follows:
For days the senate had been waiting
for the representatives. of the Mormon
state to put the seal of emphasis upon
the vote for free silver. These two en-
voys from district of aIkali desert, sage
brush and dead sea were to nullify the
voice of New York, with her 5000, 900 in
habitants and SIS, 785, 91O,313 of real and
personal property.
The World takes no account of the fact
that large proportion of New York's
| three billion dollars of wealth has been
accumulated from the labors of the west
ern toilers. Having had so large a share
in the production of New York's vast
wealth, who has a better right than the
people OF the west. through their repre-
sentatives to "nullify" the vote of the
Empire state?
With side wipe at the Republican
party the World proceeds thus bitterly:
The rotten borough system was
Matched in the bosom of the Republican
party. Its leaders have gradually
representative and careful legislative
council into a machine for defeating the
will of the people. It has gathered into
the senate reckless and Representative
men. 1t has paralyzed the most imPor-
tant legislation demanded by the popu-
lous and wealthy states of the east. Ida

erty valued at $40, 74S. 457, has an equal
vote with Pennsylvania, whose popula-
ton is 5,25S Ola and whose property IS
assessed at So $50, 798, 909. The mining
camps of Nevada, with 45, 100 population,
are equal to the great state of Illinois
The senate represents the states in their
T.
Their property nor population. Its mem
bers are ambassadors from sovereignties.

commonwealth containing millions of
people and crowded with cities and towns

and education. Senator PETERS vote
negatives the vote of Senator Sherman.
Behold how thankful the people of
Kansas should be even for Senator PEI
fer.
In the foregoing the World voices the
almost unanimous sentiment of the con-
trolling element in eastern politics. How
do western people like to be so regarded
by the class whose immense fortunes so
large a percentage of their earnings
from year to year have gone to swell.
Western people are all right as long as
they are working to make up dividends
for eastern corporations and holders of
their securities, but when they attempt
an expression of opinion as to how the
government shall be conducted they are
called sage brush and mining gulch
statesmen who want to interfere with the
swell considered and mighty measures
of commonwealth containing millions of
people and crowded cities and towns

THE Arkansas City Traveller has dis
covered why the sky is bluer in Kansas
than anywhere else. 1t says: at has
been discovered that the sky is blue on
account of the millions of atoms of dust
floating in the atmosphere without which
the sky would be murky black. The
particles of dust catch the rays of light
rejecting it from one to the other until
1t makes everything luminous. We
often wondered what made this the light
est city we were ever in, but now its as
clear as sand. We have nice pleasant
little gushes of wind to keep the air full
of those Arkansas City diamonds and
they are so much greater rehecters of
light than the ordinary common clay of
the ether towns around u.s.

1t was the married mans time to tell
the story OF the possibilities of the ap-
preaching blooIner wife. The crowd had
not marked the situation surrounding her
entrance, and the married man declared
that artists would so beautify the bloom
ers in their pictures that they would grow
less odd to the eye very soon, and it was
time for the married man to consider the
cos5. Soon the wife will want to throw
away her dresses and fill up her wardrobe
with new bloomer suits, and the married
Hnan will have to pay the bills. He may
forecast trouble If he hasn't the money,
for one married man has warned the crowd
with this story:
"I'll just give you an illustration of the
coming of the bloomer in practice and not
in theory. By the greatest persuasion I
convinced my tailor of my need of a $40
suit and so touched him with my poverty
that he consented for me to hang him up
and the other day the suit came home.
Ever since / have been trying to explain
to my wife that the tailor was hung on
the last hook, and 1 did not think he
would agree to be hung up any higher for
a pair of blcomers. BIoomers she wanted,
and bloomers she was going to have She
couldn't ride bicycle any longer without
boomers, and why didn't I bring up the
money for the bloomers2 I had it for
breakfast, dinner and supper, and at night
I had to look at fashion cuts for bicycle
boomers. She was bloomer struck, had
the craze and dreamed of boomers.
'She begged for them for two weeks,
and then she began to cry for boomers. I
threatened to get a divorce on the ground
of boomers, and then she was as mad as
a wet hen. That day I heard nothing OF
bloomers, nor the next day, but in the
evening I was sitting in the parlor con-
graduating myself that she was afraid I'd
get divorce and had abandoned the
boomers. In about five minutes she came
in, dressed in a spanking pair of boomers.
Now, sir, she said, Il told-you I
wanted boomers, didn't 1? And you
wouldn't get 'em, would you? But
haven't done a thing but make a pair of
boomers out of your $40 suit. So 1 reckon
the next time 1 want boomers you'll buy
'em, won't your ''-Washington Post.

Mr.. CARLISLE is reported as greatly

anything to do with it If he wants to

an issue of bonds bearing no interest, in
payment of government expenses, in
stead of buying gold for that purpose

them. There is not an old soldier in the

When no other line can touch the Sea-

instruction the enthusiasm with
which the forces OF silver supported
Grover Cleveland in '92 from party
LOYALTY. when he was known to be in
imical to the whole metal.
Among other arguments for sound
moncy, we are told by one authority,
hat Abraham used the sons Of Heth
rs a dumping ground for four hun
dred shelsels of silver at a ratio of
10 to /. Then Solomon, in all his glory,
adopted the sound money standard,
even using gold to make household
and kitchen furniture. The last we
hear of Solomon. he declared all was
vanity and vexation of spirit, and who
knows but the ENHANCEMENT of some
bond syndicate was not responsible
for this calamity howl? Abraham is
mentioned in this work Of biblical
finance, as a back number, while Solo
mon is progressive. The blessed
Saviour was once held up for tribute
money, and sent Simon Peter out to
collect. Simon. being fisherman by
nature, instinct, and profession, was
told to drop a line and the first fish
that bit, he would find a piece Of
money in his mouth, and to pay that
to the tax collector. As the tax collec-
tor was a Roman, it is likely he would
not have wanted deprecated currency
The inference is the official took his
pay in silver at face value, and as that
is somewhat later than Solomon. and
as the Savious said. when referring to
himself, "a greater than Solomon is
here" it looks like silver was at the
bat last in sacred history.

THAT OBNOXIOUS CAMP.
Contractor Buchanan Denies That He
Is Defying the Board OF
Health.

Contractor A. E. Buchanan, the proprie-
tor of grading camp near the junction
OF Scott and Waller streets. which has
been complained of DIV the Hospital Lot
Improvement Club, has addressed a
lengthy communication to the Board of
Health.
He states that he has taken every care
OF the sanitary condition of his camp, and
that the residents in the neighborhood
have no just cause for complaint. He
emphatlcally denies that he dehed the
Board of Health, but on the contrary has
asked that body to inspect his place and
make Its wishes known regarding improve
ments or changes if any are thought nee
essary.
Contractor Buchanan also states that
the Hospital Lot Improvement Club never
asked him to attend their meetings and
never made known their objection to any
feature of his camp until they took a
''snap Judgment" on him. Regarding the
cleanliness and healthfulness of the camp
he says that all the sinks and drain pipes
of the Kitchen and stables connect with
the sewer and no water is permitted to
flow off the lot. The quarters of the men
and horses are kept clean, and disInfect-
ants are used.in all the apartments.
Regarding the diphtheria reported only
two cases have ever appeared among the
several thousand laborers who have come
and gone there. The writer EXPIRE sses
himself as perfectly willing to obey the
orders of the Board of Health relative to
placing the camp in a satisfactory sani-
tary condition, but will resist by lawful
means any attempt to remove or tear
down his improvements.
