"HI! III! The devil rides on a fiddle
string" says Shakespeare, and he also
seems to be dancing and caVorting
around republican headquarters in To
peka. The political pot appears to be
lacking a good big chunk of Mark
Hanna's swsg, which no one seems to
be able to account for. Some days ago
p. 1. Bonebrake, treasurer of the re-
publican State committee, fled his
statement of expenses showing dis
bursements to have been about S26, 900.
At the same time he gave out an ia
terview seconded by Chairman Jim
Simpson that this money was all raised
in Kansas and they received no money
from the national committee. 1t is
said Mark Hanna saw this statement
and now the pot boils. Joe Bristow
then gave out an interview saying that
money had been received from the ma
tional committee. Cy Leland is
brought into the trouble because be
was the medium of exchange through
which it IS claimed Hanna sent the
money. Last week We published a no.
tice of the fact that a wall has gone
skyward from the wigwams of the
Wichitas as if its supply of beer had
been shut of because some few bags
of Doodle with which they had ex-
pected to pay campaign expenses, had
failed to arrive from Chief Hanna, not
withstanding it was claimed to have
been sent. And now the larger tribe

HINDoos are starving. Famine
gaunt and grim is in their midst. The
English government to which they are
subject has done little to relieve their
necessities Now Russia comes forth
with donations Of money and provis.
IONS for their wants. On the surface
it appears pure philanthropy, but at
the bottom it is very different thing.
1t is bit of diplomatic strategy with
out precedent, and OF kind new in
the world. England rules the south
ern part Of Asia, Russia, the northern,
only the mountain tribe Of Afgans
separating them. Each is jealous Of
the other and they eye every move
ment like two dogs that want the
same bone. In this contingency,
Russia saw that such kind treatment
would win her the best wishes of the
people of southern Asia, while Eng
land would violate every principle of
christianity and civilization if she re-
fused the proffered aid. This is sort
of Yankee trick that is not Yankee.

PRISON GRADES.

In the Connecticut state prison at
Hartford they have just adopted the
new method Of grading prisoners and
unifOrming them accordingly. The
convicted enter as second grade, and
stay there or go up or down accord
ing to conduct. Firsts are dressed
in navy blue, have carpeted cells,
some prison luxuries in their ratiOns,
certain liberties, and important priv
ileges. Cheerful manner, careful
obedience to rules, and absence of
punishment for at least six months
qualify for this grade. Out of $3.50 in
the Connecticut penitentiary they start
out with only nineteen in this FIRST rank.
The second grade are in old time gray
and are simply treated as the mass of
ordinary conVicts always have been
previously. No luxuries, no superflu-
tiles. The third grade wear red, and
are under some light punishment,
though all claims of humanity toward
them are fully observed. They have

light, yet not wholly dark, no books,
no luxuries, and pillOwless plank

of the degrees of treatment: Firsts get

in position to forget the taste OF the
article. City and State.
This is similar to the plan adopted
at the Hutchinson RefOrmatOry.]

The drift of everything among Kan
sas pOpulists now seems to be to con-
servatism. Perhaps the purpose of the
eastern press is being accomplished.
1t may be possible that their plan is to
tell blood-curdling stories of what
sanscullOtic things the Kansas legislat-
ure will do, and get the State fright
ened and into disrepute, to head OFF
some of the needed legislation the
pOpulists have promised. We wish to
serve notice that we are as much in
danger of doing too little as of doing
too much. If we do not fulfill the
promises we have made we will be
dropped with the oath that we are
just like the old party and make our
platforms only to get in on, not to ride
on. To be sure the legislation on the
different subjects we take up should
be moderate, fair and not too horizon.

prehensive lecturers before the public.
His sermons are published in many of

A WASHINGTON man claims to have
invented a process Of "ageing" whisky
by electricity and he also says that 1t
purifes it so that the worst rOtgut Is
made into the finest quality. He thinks
he is going to do the world of drinking
humanity great benefactiOn for he
says nearly all the deleteriOus effects
on the health are removed by the pro-
cess which is inexpensive and after it
comes we'll into use no saloon keeper
will sell bad whiskey because good
whiskey will be just as cheap. Be-
tween the Kelley cure and other inven-
tiOns one might think the old fashioned
drunkard might wellnigh be''invented'
out of existence. But he will not be.
There are some men who will never be
'living up to the highest according to
their standard of morals unless they
are in the gutter and when the danger
appears to be lessened there will prob
obly be more who will risk it.

THERE is no slack among the max
ers of man-killing inventions on &C.
count of hard times. John p. Holland
has invented new submarine craft
that will eclipse all others. 1t is cigar
shaped, fifty feet long and propelled
by either gas or electricity, at nine
knots for twelve hours, under water.
Her armament will consist of guns to
throw twenty-pound aerial topedoes of
high explosives, and also magazine of
Whitehead torpedoes 1t appears that
if these submarine torpedo boats con-
tinue to be improved, on account of
the inability to locate them till they
have done their work, 1t will render
larger vessels utterly defenseless in wa
tiers where they can operate. And the
fact that they can be taken aboard
larger vessels and turned loose in mid
ocean when contest Is about to take
place, means that sea fight nova
days is evident extinction on one side
or both. When it comes to this it will
soon teach men to learn war no more.

DIR. PARKHURsT of New York, says
there are 100000 faithless wives and
husbands in New York City alone,
This is nearly One.ffth of the entire
population and nearly one-half of the
adults. Further, the doctor, who is
supposed to be a man of some reputa-
ton, says these people are largely
among the upper classes. And these
are the people that are telling of how
Kansas has dishonored herself. This
Is one instance when we believe in a
dual standard of morsls-one for Kan
sas and another for New York.

ONE of the strong demands the pop
ulists have made is for the govern
ment ownership of railroads, and as
convenient means of working up to
that policy, the municipal ownership
of water works, electric lights, street
railways, etc. While this feature mas
for the present been dropped for the
more immediate issue of the free
coinage Of silver and general control
Of trusts and corporations, it is never
theless a measure civilization is work.
ing toward and almost every expert
ment in that direction has proved emf
nently successful. As an example of
a trial of this principle close to home,
the State Journal says: "TOpeka's
new lighting plant is proving an ex-
cellent investment. When the prOpO-
sitiOn to re6t the city plant with new
electrical machinery was made an
attempt was made to have the city
plant abandoned and the lighting let by
contract. 1t was argued then that it
would cost more to operate the plant
than contractors would ask for the
same kind of service. The lowest
offer on contract was $SS per light by
the year. The cOuncilmen did not
seriously consider the proposition to
change the system and the experience
with the new machinery proves that
they were wise. The cost of Operat-
ing the city plant counting salaries of
employees and all expenses was only
IS. Is per light last month which at the
same ratio would make only $3.50 per
annum for each light. City Engineer
Barnes thinks that the average may
run as high as "a per month but that
would only be S4S a year while the
private company asked $S3 for the
same service"
