The sale of the water works in this
city affords an excellent Illustration Of
the manner ia which large properties,
which are stocked and bonded for
many times their cost are tossed about
from one set of capitalists to an
other, while the people pay the freight
AS long as these over stocked and over
bonded Institutions can be made to pay
dividends on this paper everything goes
along smoothly enough. When they
cease to pay a little of the water is
squeezed out of the stock, and this
process is continued until a paying
basis is reached. The fact that this
plant which was sold for over a million
dollars, brought but $4,000, last week.

clock before him. Exactly as the minute
hand reaches 10 the gavel falls The
brokers' day of business has begun, and
the exchange comes to order.
Yes, comes to order is the technic-
al way it is expressed But such ''or-
derl'' Any sensitive nerved boiler maker
would be driven mad by it. The stock
brokers' idea Of coming to order is for
every man jack Of them to begin jump
ing up and down, bowling, yelling,
waving their arms and shaking their ex-
tended fingers in the faces Of their neigh
bors The uninitiated spectators think
that they have all suddenly gone crazy.
But they have not. They yell for two
reasons. Some Of them are Offering to
sell stock for a half per cent more than
the others axe willing to give and the
rest are Offering to buy stock for half
per cent less than the others willing to
take. That's all there is to it, but when
from 800 to 600 men are shouting to the
full extent Of their lung power it makes
something of a racket.
But Chairman Mcclure does not seem
to be aware Of it at all After standing
for a moment with his eyes wandering
out over the scene of pandemOnium he
seems satisfied that the exchange has
really come to order and settles down in
his high backed chair Of richly carved
oak with the calm serenity Of a man
who views a peaceful landscape after a
good dinner Then, regardless Of the
wild clamor that fairly makes the build
ing tremble, be turns to a pile Of letters
and goes through them with cool delib-
GRAFTON. Not even frown ruffles his
forehead Occasionally he smiles as he
reads a missive and gazes meditatively
at the ceiling which vibrates with the
force Of the sound waves beating against
1t. His letters finished he takes up the
morning paper and glances slowly
through the columns
Finally some one hands him note.
He reads it carelessly and arises, grips
his gavel and calmly welts the desk six
measured strokes. Before he has finished
there is a hush, the shouting stops, and
the brokers gather IN anxious knots.
When all is still, the chairman an
nounces that the firm Of Sc-and-so has
failed. Then he sits down and uncon-
cernedly begins to write a letter, while
the noise breaks loose again. Once in
awhile he rises and summons a member
to the desk, and occasionally he stops a
football riot or some other form Of
horse play, but it Is always with a
quiet, good natured dignity that makes

perior person to the men who pay from

Tt is being asserted in the east that
Senator Jones of Nevada offered to vote
for the seating of Mr.. Dupont, if he
would favor the Santa Monica harbor
bill Jones is naturally under the con-
troll Of the Southern Pacific, which
owns the wharf and terminals at Santa
Monica, and as heis personally interested
in the appropriation he is willing to
seat Mr.. Dupont on these terms in spite
OF bringing about the loss of one vote
to the free coinage cause.-kansas
City Times.
If this accusation against Jones is
true, his course is perhaps not 50 much
owing to Huntington control as to the
fact the Nevada senator has large prop
erty interests at Santa Monica. Among
other holdings he has a handsome villa
which he occupies during a portion Of
the summer.

RFWARDs ~ CUCTOOa

Grover CleveIands entire course since
entering upon his second term as pres
ident has been one of utter disregard
Of the sentiment Of the people. In moth
ing has this been more marked than in
his appointments. Almost every MEM
Der Of congress who has done his bid
ding and stood by him in his course Of
violence to the popular win, has been
turned down by his constituents. For
almost everyone of these the president
has found a place. If his policy had
been put into words it would have read.
You gentlemen in congress. do my bid
ding and you shall be rewarded with
patronage and be given a good place
if your people repudiate you; refuse
and you get nothing here or hereafter.
John C. Tarsney is the latest example
Of this policy. Representing a district
with views wholly at variance with
those of the president, he nevertheless
bowed before his master and supported
his desires He was defeated for re-
election, but managed to hang on to
the office until put out by the house Of
which he essayed to be a member. This
man has been made a judge. He is but
one Of a list which includes Wilson,
Springer, .Kilgore, Jones, Breckenridge
and many others. Cleveland has done
much to demoralize American politics
and debauch American citizenship.

Gratis of Butler county met Saturday

In view of the declaration made by
President Traynor of the national A.
P. A. that THE keystone Of the A. P.
AL is the fact that a papist, no matter
how liberal nominaIly, is not a con-
sistent citizen Of the United States"
The name Of the order should be
changed to Anti-Catholic association.
Many have hitherto supposed that the
order was organized in opposition to
the Interference of any church with
governmental affairs. 1t seems now
that only the Catholic church is OBJ
jectionable. Yet many of Americas
greatest and best citizens have been
Catholics. This declaration Of the
president of the order is well caleulat-
ed to lead it into a factional religious
fight in which the principles Of Ameri-
eanism as generally understood viii
wholly disappear. 1t wo4ld not be sur
prising if the order. as a factor in pub
lie matters would disappear at about
the same time There are many people
of all shades Of belief who do not ap-
prove of the church in politics, but they
do not believe in singing out one par
tieular church as the object Of their
opposition.

Wichita County Populists Will Try t.
Defeat His Candidate.

There will be an interesting political
contest in Wichita county this year A
week ago Saturday the Republicans
of that county nominated Frank
Grimes, the present representative, for
reelection. Grimes is an earnest Bur
ton worker, and was one of the Abilene
mans best Heutenants two years ago.
When the Populists held their con-
ventfon Saturday they looked around
to find the man of all men who might
defeat Grimes on the Burton issue.
They think they found him in the per-
son Of w B. Washington, who hates
Burton and his political methods with
all his might
Crimes majority two years ago was
only about fifty, and the Popuhsts
think they can defeat him this year,
since Burtonism has been infused into
the campaign.
