There have been more foreclosures OF
mortgages in Kansas than In any other
state, and Populism is responsible for
it. 1t Is more difficult now to get money
or credit here for any legitimate bust
ness than it is elsewhere, and Populism
is responsible for that. Extensions Of
loans are made for short time and at
higher rates of interest. and Populism
is responsible again. But the net effect
Is wholesome. The people are getting
down to the rock. They are replacing
speculation and expectation with fru-
gality and industry. While they have
been paying up and reducing the amount
of money which goes out Of the state
every year in payments Of interest, they
have growled good deal. The new Or

Benefits of High Prices,

+ The issue between the friends Of
sound money and the believers in 81
cent dollars is at bottom a question
whether cheap goods or high prices art
best for the whole country. Until the
people understand that their interests
will be best served by gradual reduc.
ton in the cost of all kinds of commod.
tiles plans for getting rich by paying
more for goods will be advocated and
seriously considered. There is no doubt
but that an artificial increase of prices
would benefit some persons But the
people as a whole would be injured,
and the principle of the greatest good to
the greatest number forbids the grant;
ing Of favors to one class at the expense
of all others.

The New Ferry Boat .Camden.,

Many of our readers have no doubt been
charmed with the commodious and ele-
giant appointments of the new ferry boat,
Camden" which has recently been put
into service between Camden and Phila-
delphia. The new boat is considered to
be the handsomest craft of her kind on
the river, and is 1866 feet in length, with
a So feet beam and draws 9 feet of water.
She has double propellers, feet inches
In diameter, with 12 feet inch pitch
The engines are double compound, of the
Stull pattern, with jet condensers. The
boilers are four in number and of a
tubular pattern. She has steam steering
apparatus, wrecking pump and large fire
pump. The boat is fitted with a complete
electric light plant, which consists of two
dynamos, with capacity of $50 lights.
The steam steering is 80 arranged that it
is impossible for the orders between the
pilot and engineer to be misunderstood,
as indicators in the pilot house and engine
room show the direction in which the
boat is moving. The cabins extend clear
through, and the interior decorations are
very fine, the windows large and ofleaded
glass. They will each seat 100 passengers
The camden" was launched at Eliza
bethport on August 18th, and cost nearly
800 600.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Ia
only one way to cure deafness, and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Enstachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrb, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous

An Item of Expense,

In handling silver and using it az
currency lies the fact that $40 Of gold
can be stored In the same space as 81
Of silver. This has entailed an expense
Of many hundreds Of thousands Of dol.
lars on our government in the last 1e
years for storing the silver dollars which
the people registered as too cumbersome
for their pockets. Every time the treas.
gry changes hands, and probably much
oftener in the banks of this country, the
stock Of coin is counted over. 1t is just
as easy to count $40, 900 in gold double
eagles as 81, 900 in silver. II we open
our mints to silver, all gold will disap.
pear from circulation, at least so far as
domestic business is concerned, and a
large and increasing expense will be in.
fiicted on the mercantile class, and to q
lesser degree on the whole community,
in handling and counting the more
cumbersome coin.

years ago
Big passenger steamers. with their
hundreds Of passengers and their scores
Of stewards, sailors and stokers, afford
innumerable opportunities for slowing
away.
Three years ago n stowaway was dis.
covered aboard one Of the Allan liners
running between Liverpool and Mont

ing big, sturdy looking fellow he was
put to work about the ship. When the
ship anchored below Montreal, waiting
for daylight before entering the harbor,
he, it is presumed, slipped quietly over
board and swan ashoare. In any case,
when the boat touched at Montreal and
was overrun by detectives looking for a
notorious jewel robber, it was i'm
mediately suspected that the stowaway
was the robber and that he had escaped,
taking the jewels with him. He was
captured some months afterward and
confessed that when he swan ashore he
had more than 81 0, 900 worth of jewels
on his person.

Always are the coal bunkers and the mar
row passages left when the vessels are
loaded with bricks, tiles, iron pipes or
other similar cargo. These places are
extremely dangerous, and many cases
are recorded where the shifting Of the

During the passage of a cargo boat to
