The main Federal army, led by the gall

been abandoned BY his superiors, but
was unwilling to retreat III the face of

vicinity to I'm uncertain fate.
General Sigel' s command was separat-

in his head and was dismounted, hav

troops could fight their way through the
Confederate line toward Sigel the latter
had been defeated and hurled back in
retreat The Oonfederates turned their
whole force against Lyon and approach
ed his line from two directions. Lyon
exerted himself to lead in detachments
of single regiments. At one time, being
in close contact with the enenly's van
guard, he drew his pistol and called up
on his staff to do the same, intending to
rush forward as an example to, his men.

ABOUT NEW PAPERS.

An afternoon Republican paper for
Topeka is a near possibility. When TO
peka gets a paper of this kind 1t VIII pc
a long felt want, filled.-Hoxie Senti-
mel.
The only real Republican paper in
Topeka now is the State Journal. 1t
stands fairly and squarely on all the
Republican state platforms Of the last
20 years. We can't help it that Cy
Leland sold the state at St. Louis for
pounds, shillings and pence. No doubt
it was an outright bargain. The f1nan-
ciaI plank adopted by the Republican
state convention in 1890 said: 1.-The
practical operation of the silver act
now in force, recently passed by Re
publican majority in both houses of
congress, is rapidly increasing the val
ue of silver, is a good step in the right
direction; but we, the Republicans of
Kansas, demand the free coinage of sill
ver''
Who has changed? Who has moved?
There is a goldbug organ here owned
by a Topeka banker, but it is not a rep
resentative of Kansas Republicans.
Another goldbug paper may be started,
but it will only divide the goldbug field
with the morning paper which has all
it can do to make that field pay, as it
is. Keep it up; divide up the goldbug
field smaller and smaller, and by and
by you will all be starving to death.
What the Journal might regard with
moderate degree of apprehension would
be the starting Of another Independent
paper here.
One more gold paper will only hurt
the Capital.

MAKE 20 M1srAKR.

Inc men representing the mOneyed
interests of the country, including
bankers, brokers, bondholders, manu-
facturers and various kinds of million
aires, with few exceptions, cast their
votes for what they conceive to be their
own personal and pecuniary interests,
regardless of partisan feeling or politi-
cal sentiment. 1t is doubtful If all the
pleading and argument of which the
west and south are capable could turn
one of them aside from this purpose.
But because II is impossible for the
producers of the country to convert
Wall street to their way of thinking it
does not follow that Wall street is
right and the workers wrong. The duty
which the toiler owes to himself, to his
family and to his country would seem
to be to ascertain for himself what is
best for him and work and vote ac-
any other Individual or class. He is the
equal in intelligence, of his Wall street
brother and if he is not already so, he
can easily become his equal in informa-
ton.
The questions before the people in this
campaign are simple and easily under
stood. No man who can read needs
an adviser. He is competent to make
his own deductions from the facts of
history which are readily obtainable.
There are thousands of men in Kan
sas today who know just as much re-
garding the matters now before the
public as do Major Mckinley. Mr.. Bry-
an, John Sherman or Secretary Car
isle Any man of ordinary intelligence
can ascertain the truth, and having
done that and determined what is best
for him, if he is a man who works for
his daily bread, he knows that what is
best for him is best for the majority of
the people and is therefore best for the
country.
Working people, and they constitute
a vast majority of the population of the
United States should not be deceived by
the apparent interest taken in their
welfare by any small and exclusive
class of citizens. be they bankers, man
ufacturers, managers of life insurance
companies, bond holders, or office hold
ers. 1t should always be regarded as
barely possible that these classes of in
dividuaIs have personal ends to serve
which are paramount to their interestin
the welfare of the general public. The
day 1aborer has a greater interest in
the country's prosperity than the mill
lionaire can possibly feel.

Galena Post Pop): You can catch
more flies with molasses than vinegar"
If you want to catch the votes of the
disconnected masses don't call them
fools, neither brand them as anarchists.
They are sensible, honest people like
yourselves, but they feel that there is
something wrong in our system of gov
eminent, and well they may. Their rea-
soning may be bad. but If 50, whose
fault is it? It has been the policy for
years of every speaker upon the ros-
trum and every newspaper in the land
to jump up and crack his lungs or burst
his columns asunder in denunciation
of every man or party OF men who did
not happen to agree with them politi-
cally. This is neither craftsmanship
or journalism. The public speakers and
newspapers should be public educators.
If the masses-the students-are ignor-
ant it is a confession of the fncompe-
tence Of the educators to cast slurs at
their ignorance

MARK TWAIN IN ENGLAND.
Arrives Their From Cape Colony
Will Stay and Write Book

Southampton, Aug. Samuel L.
Clemens mark Twain), with his wife
and daughter arrived here yesterday on
board the steamer Norman from the Ia
BILE Bay, Cape Colony. Although he
started out on his tour of the world in
feeble health, being obliged often to
take to his bed between the delivery IF
lectures and having had an attack of
illness in India he looked the picture of
health when he landed here.
He has gone far and seen much in
the Sandwich Islands, Australia, India
and South Africa but it was especially
of affairs in the Transvaal, where his
stay was coincident with the excitement
over the trial of the reform prisoners
that he was ready to talk He express
ed himself as being charmed with what
he had seen of South Africa.
q consider the Transvaal the country
of the future" said Mr.. Clemens. I
had presented me in johannesburg a
little gold nugget with figures showing
the enormous increase in the gold out
put.
The bulk Of the trade there is in the
hands of the English and Germans but
Americans should be able to command
the lions share of the trade in machin-
cry, the largest portion of the machin-
cry in the Transvaa1 being American.
Mr.. Hammond John Hayes Hammond)
the reform leader convicted of treason
and whose sentence of death was COM
muted intends to bring back from the
state with him $500 600 worth. The ma
jority of the Americans in the Trans
vaal are engaged in mining and engi-
neering. I think there is a great open
ing there for young man acquainted
with this branch of mechanics.
THE American element is compare
lively small but the mass Of the Beers
make no distinction between American
and English Indeed, all foreigners
with the exception of Germans are re-
ferred to as English.
Mark Twain shows his humorous ap-
probation of the stolid qualities Of the
Boer character in touching upon their
history. He said with his solemn and
characteristic drawl that the flight OF
the children of Israel was a holiday ex-
cursion compared with the Boer tricks
Asked regarding his own plans Mr.
Clemens replied that he intended to re-
main in England no longer than six
months and that he will spend it in
some quiet spot away from London
where he intends to write a book.

A BOOK ON SCHOOLS
Prepared by Prof Henry c. Fellow
Assistant superintendent

The assistant superintendent of pub
lie instruction, Prof. Henry c. Fellow,
has just received the advance copies
of the work which he has compiled
while in the Office of the superintendent
of public instruction, entitled "A Study
of School Supervision and Mainten-
ance."
It is a work of 17S pages besides two
large charts. The subject is divided in
to chapters on national state, county,
township, district and city supervision
Under each of these heads the officers,
manner of election, powers and duties
and management of school funds are
given, showing a complete outline of
the working of the school systems of
all the states.
Special attention is called to the new
law of New York (the Stranahan law
and the Cleveland plan which is in
operation in the city schools of Cleve-
land, Q. Under the head of mainten-
ance, the systems of supporting the
schools is given and the land grants
and systems of taxation are shown. A
chart or table showing the require
ments for teachers certificates is added;
also one showing the land grants by the
United States and state. The work is
very complete and is the result of
much hard work and a thorough study
of the subject.

the country one or two hundred mill
lions of paper money.
