Yours very truly,
HENRY CLEWs.
We now quote the balance OF Mr..
Clews' article, which puts quite an
other face on the matter
If it is fair for the silver mine wn-
ers to take So cents worth OF silver
to mint and have it converted into
coin with the United States stamp
upon it, under a law making 1T legal
tender for full dollar, why should
not the amount of pulp required to
make a greenback dollar be accepted
by the government as the equivalent
of a legal tender dollar bill? What
ever the United States government
puts it's stamp on as money under a
law providing therefor would make
one thing just AS good as another,
whether it is paper pulp, iron, copper
or silver, until the government credit
became swamped by an excess OF 1T.
Then, of course, all value disappears
in such materials excepting the intrln-
SIC Vhlu0 WDlCIl UlO llldCcII dl pOOSCSoCO'
A Mexican dollar under free silver
law can be taken to the treasury and
converted into q United States silver
dollar, temporarily worth double the
value of the Mexican dollar; but AZ
ter the country has been flooded with
an excess of this money, the value will
simply sink to the market value of bull
lion as to it's purchasing power money
quality. The law of supply and de-
mand is the final regulator in all
kinds of commodities. The silver
advocates say that when they get
into power they will repeal the law Of
supply and demand and thereby pre-
vent the depreciation of silver money
coined by the United States, even
though it becomes excessive.
HENRY CLEWs.
In view of all these facts we expect
to see retraction of the article by
The Gazette as soon as practicable.
When an editor has been unknowing
ly imposed upon by printing so gross
a perversion, he owes it to the intelli
gence OF his subscribers, If nothing
else, to make all necessary explana-
tions.

A New Inspector Needed.

This is an age Of inspection. There
are meat Inspectors, coal oil inspectors,
boiler inspectors, ETC., etc. AS everything
else must be inspected there is no
reason why the bad eggs of State and
national government should not be
inspected. Indeed all the bad eggs in
places Of official trust should be held up
to the white light Of official scrutiny.
The most added and malodorous
product Of an abandoned hennery is a
paragon Of perfumed loveliness compared
to some Of the reeking and putrescent
ossifications that contaminate with their
corrupting ioulness the atmosphere at
Topeka. 1t unpleasant business to
inspect those official bad eggs, but it
should be looked after. The shells that
hide their sullied and unclean records
should be cracked by the force of public
opinion that the good eggs Gf there are
any, may escape deflement. The public
demands a more searching inspection OF
the bad eggs in our places of public
trust.-OSage city Public Opinion.

or to bearer, a stated sum Of money,
upon presentment Of the check.
The amount should always be written
out in words.
A check which has been exhibited to
the bank on which it is drawn and been
marked good" and signed by the
propt r officer of the bank, is called a
certified check" 1t amounts to an
acceptance by the bank, and creates
liability to pay on the part Of the bank.
A check is not due till presented. 1t is
negotiable. 1t has no days OF grace.
Giving check is no payment to an
indebtedness unless the check is paid
The death of the maker Of the check
before presentment to the bank, renders
it null and void. A forged check paid
by the bank is the banks loss, and not
the depositor's. 1t is the safest rule
always to act with diligence in present
ing checks for payment, which may be
stopped by subsequent order to bank by
maker before presentment of check.
Certificates Of deposit are used when
money is deposited for short time, and
no regular bank account is kept. They
can be used the same rs certified

There WIN be . Fight,

The last issue Of the Topeka edition
Of the Ottawa Journal contains the
following in regard to the nomination Of
a State ticket:
Several PopuliBts seems to have an
idea that it is possible to nominate a
State ticket on when the Republicans can
make no fight. They seem to forget that
even the Son Of God was executed as a
common criminal for preaching reform.
Whoever the Populist nominee may be,
he might as we'll make up his mind first
as last that the Republicans will treat
him to campaign, in comparison to
which fire and birthstone are as q mere
summer resort. The great Republican
dailies are all located In Republican
strongholds. In Sll political trials in
such places the juries are almost to a
man Republican. The Republican juror
will not convict Republican editor who,
to bring Republican victory, lies about
a Populist candidate for Governor or any
other prominent Office. The Republican
editos have free license to vie with Satan
himself in such work. The better our
candidate, the fiercer will be the fight
on him."
The Journal might also have
added that thousands Of the best Popu-
lists in the State would view with undis-
guised suspicion any Populist ticket
upon which the Republican editorial

Cy Leland,s Appleiack.

The following from the Chicago
Chronicle indicates what kind Of a
reputation Kansas Is getting away
from homo and all because of the Re-
publican psrty's persistency in keeping
It's disreputsbIe leaders in the saddle.
1t may, however, be probable that the
influences referred to cut q material
figure In assisting Cyrus to hold his
job. At any rate the thing has gone
to the extent that 1t is not surprising
that Morrill, should feel ashamed of his
crowd and the State when he is in q
rational mood. The Chronicle says:
ICY Leland is the Kansas member
of the National Republican committee.
That, however, is not his chief glory.
In Kansas Cy Leland lives In the hearts
Of his countrymen because he distills
the finest quality of applejack that
ever delighted the palate of a dweller
10 q prohibition State. 1t is not red,
but 1t shows its color in the gloss and
does not, In the end, bite like a serpent
or sting like an adder.
"Cy's famous spplejack has the
effect of making men who drink it feel
that there is q God In Israel. They are
open to conviction. For that reason
Leland has been one of the most sue.
cessful lobbyists at Topeka. He has
done some work for the railroad cor.
pOrstions that nobody else could have
done. He was able, even, to induce a
Legislature to drink his spplejsck and
accept his railroad passes. Yesterday
he called at Mckinley headquarters in
the Annex and assured the Ohi0sn
that he should have solid delegation
from Kansas. No other Kansas Re-
publican could 30 safely make such
promise. Certainly Ingalls, could not
undertake the work, nor could Ralph
Burton, Ingalls, chief opponent. All
these are for Mckinley, but without
the Leland spplejsck that State might
still be lost, for the Ksnssn Is always

Who Has q Better Right

'If the farmers Of the State, instead
of worrying over the national finances
or questions of legislation, would study
new and better methods, they would
find 1t money In their pockets"
The above is from an agricultural
paper. If the farmers of Kansas, who
are majority of the people, haven't a
natural right to worry about the way
the minority is running things, then it
Is difficult to determine who has such
q right. If the lawyers who are max
ing q profession of politics would at
tend to their own business little more
assiduously, and leave a reasonable
share of the business of legislation to
the agriculturslists, who constitute q
majority of the people, their conduct
would be little more satisfactory to
the obServant public.
