There is yet hope of Kansas. This
hope does not wholly rest upon the
facts that 100000 voters in that state
voted against Populism but is inspired
to quite a degree by the success of an
absolutely unique method of collecting
debts, adopted bya Kansas blacksmith
He issues invitations to all his debtors
to visit him on a certain day, present
their cards on which shall be written
the amounts they owe him, when they
will be entitled to sit down to the re-
freshments and other entertainment he
has provided. Along with subsequent
fullness he expects full liquidation of
all debts and the results of his first en-
tertainment justified his expectations.
We trust all the participants in this
scheme appreciate the fact that had
the country gone to q silver basis the
worthy blacksmith would have found
it impossible to provide the entertain
ment.

The increase of corn exports from
Southern ports must be very crafty
ing to the business interests of those
cities. New Orleans exported twenty
million bushels in 1896 and but four
million in 1896. Notwithstanding such
transportation facilities hungry Mexi-
cans are paying two dollars per bushel
for their corn, which is admitted free
of duty, but the payment is in Mexican
money. However, as the Mexican Ia
borer can earn in the same kind of
money only about half as much as the
laborer in the United States earns in
gold or equivalent. corn is an expensive
article of diet for him.

Good Game Wardens.
(Waterville Mail.)

one of the game wardens in Piscata-
quiS county has resigned his position al
leging that if warden faithfully per-
forms his duties he will make a lot of
enemies and that the position seriously
interferes with Il mans private business
This is undoubtedly true in many cases
but wardens the State must have. if the
game supply is to be maintained What
must be done. i'll case the wardens find
1t too much of Il sacrifice to serve under
present conditions, is 10 give them larger
salaries. The salaries ought to be large
enough to attract men of considerable
ability and not a class of shiftless fell
lows. who are too lazy to attend to bus-
ness of their own. The matter of game
protection is one that demands business
methods and if the salaries paid at pres
ent are not sufficient to secure the ser
vices of the right sort of men. they
should he increased. The State cannot
afford to be parsmOnious in dealing with
the subject. for the preservation of the
game supply means q big income every

Russia is to virtually dominate affairs
in the large Chinese province of Man
churia. The name Manchuria is sug
gestive of q sneeZe and accordingly
Russian in sound, but it is extremely
probable that the Car had other
grounds for desiring it, Among these
it is apparent that the purpose of a
shorter route to the sea and a better
terminus for the trans-Siberian rail-
road is one. Another in all prOba bility
is to open up trade by means of new
