There Are Others.

The very acme Of stupidity In any
public journal, however limited may be
its circulation OF influence, Is the dis
semination of sO-Called news which 1t
knows to be false. This vicious expe-
dent Is not infrequently resOrted to
for reasons which are at once senseless
and disreputsble. The motive may he
distinctively corrupt Orit may be merely
an idiotic Whim to mislesd, for a few
hours, thoughtless persons into be-
lief which is In harmony with their de.
sires. But In either event the effect is
the ssme-the final disappointment and
humiliation of the Credulous indlvid-
usls who permit themselves to be
duped by this sort Of journalistic char
latsnism, and the exeCrstion Of those
who practice it.
Of course this sort of jugglery is to
be condemned without reservation
from the standpoint of morality. 1t
violates every requirement Of homer
and decency and Is an exhibition of
bad faith for which there is no apology.
But, wicked as 1t is, its stupidity sur.
passes its deprsvity. The pretended
journalist who engages in such odiouS
business knows that he must In the
end be written down as Willful fSlsi.
fer, and that he must incur the lasting
resentment of his credulous victims.
It goes without saying that no news
paper could find a more ready or GER
tain method of suicide, for lack of
judgment does not preclude by any
means the possession of q long mem
ory.--KGDSGS city Star.

The Working Boy.
the State

In the american Journal of SOctOI-
Ogy for November, Mrs. Florence
Kelley, Chief Factory Inspector of ILL
noIs, presents facts about child labor
that will appeal to everyone who is In
terested In labor problems. She declares
that we are at present booming large
numbers Of boys to a life Of indus
trial insecurity because they have no
chance to become intelligent artisans,
but merely hack workers who cannot
adapt themselves to new employments,
Her line of argument is indicated In
these opening remarks:
"Ours being the epoch of industrial
instability, Of shiftinga and change, the
point is to recognize the law Of change
and adapt our scheme of education to
it, 80 that the processes Of industrial
evolution may no longer bring sur.
prise and disaster. Nay, more, the
problem Of the schools to-day Is, so to
equip the children that they not only
meet unhsrmed the changes which
will surely make up their industrial
life, but contribute their share to
render these changes bene6cent. This
our present education fails to do; and
the introduction Of new machinery,
therefore, brings unmeasured harm to
tens Of thousands of skilled working.
men and their families. By way Of
illustration, 1t Is only necessary to
point to the composltors, the railway
engineers, and the tailors."

A CLEAN ADMINISTRATION.

What the People WIN Get.
L. G. Boyle, who has been elected
Attorney General on the fusion ticket,
seemed worn out from the result Of
the srduOus campaign when he came
to Topeka last week. He made 1888
speeches and visited every county In
the State. Mr.. Boyle is probably the
youngest Attorney General ever elected
in Kansas, as he is just 81, though his
slight figure and boyish face make him
appear ten years younger than he
really is.
Mr.. Boyle has been County Attorney
Of Bourbon county for four years, but
before that he was not known In Kan.

fusiOnlsts and he will probably lead
Governor Leedy by 5000 votes In the
State.

Mr.. Boyle. "The campaign has been

as could. While / am pleased at the
apparent victory of our ticket, I have
always been perfectly confident Of

"I realized that the Republicans had
given up the Electoral ticket q week

forts to defeat Leedy and our State

more than pleased to know that Leedy

"It Is my ambition that the appoint
ments made under our administration
shall be made with great care and that

pointed. Although our opponents pro-
fess to be worried over the possibility

GUARDING THE RETURNS.

TampeFlng With the Returns.

The following from the Topeka Cap
ital shows how the action of the allied
silver forces prevented any possibility
of the stealing of the election;
"County Clerk Charley McCabe was
under guard all day yesterday. The
fusion forces, suspicious of fraud, kept
q force constantly watching at the
court house to prevent the surrepd-
tious removal of ballots or ballot boxes
and the destruction of Populist votes.
Estate Chairman John W. Breiden-
thai of the Populist party, created con"
sternstion by the following telegram
sent out over the State Wednesday
night:
"'Plsce guard over County Clerks
Office to prevent stesling returns. We
have elected our entire ticket. A plan
to rob us Of our victory has been dis
covered. Prevent any steal in your

''In the letter sent out sfterwsrd TO

thai explained at length the supposed
plan of the Republicans. Returns
from counties with large Populist ma
jorities would be stolen and destroyed,
others would be changed and substitu.

''ShaWnee Populists determined to
take no chances and early yesterday
morning q delegation moved into Char.

seated themselves in the outer Office,
several others pstrolled the corridor to
stop any attempt at rear entrance exit,
and Frank Whitaker took a position
in the private room occupied by the
County Clerk.
"In the outer Office watchers arranged
themselves with view to comfort and
prepared to stay. The inner guard
also chose a comfortable chair and
seemed ready to remain. The corridor
crowd, however, were on the alert.
"Up and down the hall they trudged,

the middle Of the afternoon, however,
he became tired of the constant sur
Veillsnce and requested his body guard

"Whitaker left, but the Wstchful-

one likely to countensnce fraud.

How u Lion ROara His lesf.

The lion seldom roars his best, be-
cause a good roar needs a great physl-
cal effort. The whole interior and mus
cles OF the mouth, throat, stomach and
abdomen are, for the moment, convert
ed into an organ OF terrific sound, and
the sound does make the earth trem-
BILE. or appear to do so. But the atti-
tude Is no that usually drawn. Unless
he roars lying down, when he puts his

what is actually done In many country
places In the interior Of this state and
also In the neighboring common
wealths Of New Jersey and Pennsyiva-

sell at from 81 to IS and $40 apiece
and then go hawking them through
the country for sale as they might
hawk old clothes or crockeryware.-

HOW HE CUT WOOD.
Trick Played by = WHY Tramp on an
U@nauspectinr Housewife.


A lady residing In the southeastern
part OF the city had an experience with
a tramp the other day which has
soured her on that class OF mendicants.

came around and begged for something
to eat. and got It.
Have you any work that l can do?"
he asked, after satisfying his hunger.
well, you might cut that wood"

four-foot stove wood. How much do
YOU want for the job?"
six bits"
We'll. go ahead" she said.
Shortly after that she had occasion
to go downtown. and when che left the
house the tramp was industriously
at work. Upon her return he had An
ished. Pointing at the the wood pile,
he said, proudly: What do you think
Of that? Ever seen an old man like
me who could cut wood as quick as
that? Oh. I'm "A lightning striker!"
The lady acknowledged that he was a
fast worker and promptly paid him
his money. Shortly after his depart
ure she went to the wood pile for sticks
and was surprised on removing a few of
them to find that only the top layer
had been cut. The body OF the wood
pile consisted OF uncut four-foot pieces
80 arranged as to leave large spaces be-
tween them. II was quite apparent
then that considerable OF the wood
had disappeared and that the remain
ing wood had been arranged in that
way so as not to show the pile had
shrunk. Investigation disclosed the
fact that some Of the wood had been
hidden under a sidewalk, while other
large sticks had been concealed In
various places around the yard, and
some OF the fuel taken into the wood
shed. Yesterday the lady CHANGED to
see a giant stick on top of the wood
shed roof. She expects to happen on
other pieces here and there around the
premises for the next two months and
would not be much surprised to find
that the tramp had wedged some Of
the fuel In the c~himney-top.
