Government by the Politicians.

The fundamental principle of a
true democracy is government by
the people. The people themselves
are the rulers.
Under our Republican form Of
government it was designed from the
start that the people should shape
its course-that they should embody
principles in their utterances and
choose representatives to carry them
out. This was the old fashioned
way Of doing things-in the time Of
Washington and Jefferson and Lin
coin. The people came together in
their primaries and told their repre-
sentatives what they wanted. The
primaries were then, and are now,
the only places where the people
could voice their sentiments. II
they default there they have no
voice.
In these latter days-when domi.
nant parties are hanging between
the devil and the deep blue seas
when to speak out on the questions
upon which our early patriots were
united means destruction from the
hand of monopolists-it has be-
come the fashion to smother con-
viction and turn everything over in
to the hands of the politicians who
bend everything to party success.
With our manufactures, ira des-
men and farmers all over the land
famishing from lack of money, we
find the representatives Of the once
grand old Republican party coming
together in their county conventions
electing delegates and going home
without voiclng their sentiments on
the dominant issues for fear of en-
dangering party success.
1t has only been a few short
months since no one in all this coun-
try could be found who would OPEN
ly champion the gold standard.
Latterly the old devil.fsh has his
tentacleS so securely fastened in the
political parties that the individuals
composing them, under the influence
Of the deadly upas tree of partisan
ship, are afraid to make a move to-
ward extricating themselves.
The silence of the Republicans of
Sumner county is fair sample of
the work of the octopus, and pat
tern which was followed by nearly
every county in Kansas. With such
cowardice among the people it is no
wonder that the state convention
pursued the same policy; and the
delegates chosen will be imbued
with the same spirit-that of party
expediency.
The result will follow as surely as
like begets like-a meaningless
platform, capable of being construed
in any way-favorable to silver in
Kansas and to the gold standard in
New York. After the election, if
successful, there will be but one con-
struchon placed upon it and that
will be the New York view of it
that of the banking fraternity-the
enemies Of the common people; en-
emies because their interests are dia-
metrically opposed to those Of the
people.

A Sample silverite Error.

Governor Altgeld of Illinois expresses
popular delusion of the free coinage
advocates when he asserts, Formerly
all of the gold and all of the silver that
was mined each year was added to the
stock of money of the world" In one
form or another this assertion is being
repeated throughout the country as an
argument for free silver
By formerly" however, Altgeld
means previous to 1878. But he is very
much astray as to his facts. In no coun-
try Of the world, at any period in his
tory, have all of the gold and silver
mined each year been used as money.
Large quantities Of both metals have al
ways been used in the arts, at some
periods the consumption in this form
exceeding the annual production. At
least so per cent of all the gold and sill
yer mined has been used for other pur-
poses than for money. Since the discov-
cry Of America the value of the worlds
production of gold and silver is given
by DIR. Soetbeer and other statisticians
at about $1S, 700, 600, 900.
The total value of the worlds stock
of money is now but little more than
IS, 900, 900, 900, showing that over &c.
900, 900, 900 worth, or about 60 per
cent, of gold and silver has been used
in the arts.
In the 80 years previous to 1878 the
United States coined only s, 900, 600 sill
yer dollars, and about 1925, 600, 900 of
subsidiary coins. During the past %
years there have been coined over 422,-
600, 900 silver dollars and about $780,
900, 900 in subsidiary coinage. Thus in
stead of adding less silver to our stock
of money since 1873, we have coined so
times as many silver dollars as were is
sued before that time and have greatly
increased our annual coinage of sub
sidiary silver. Our coinage of gold has
also increased largely since 1878, the
average amount for the 90 years before
that date being about S81, 900, 900 an
nually, while for the past % years it
averaged over $40, 900, 600 per year.
In spite of these indisputable facts,
which can be verified by any voter who
will write TO the director of the mint
and ask for his official report, Governor
Altgeld asserts that 1.-THE annual adj
dition to the stock of money is less than
half Of what it formerly was" Could
there be a clearer proof of the campaign
of deception and misrepresentation
which is being carried ON by the 16-to-I
aQitators2

ried the famous German actress, Anna
Wierer, and she, childless, took a fancy
to her nephews and bequeathed to them
at her death her fortune, amounting to
several million dollars. This enabled
the boys to procure educational adyan-
tages suitable 10 their>rank, and upon
attaining the suitable age they adopted
politics as a pursuit and both achieved
success. Count Badenyi is distin,
guished for his jollity and is without
exception the most popular Pole at the
Viennese court. He is exceedingly
bald, with a well-domed Uranium, high
cheek bones, a fierce mustache, of me
dunn but strongly-knit stature and
the air and bearing of patrician. He
has an imposing and pleasing presence.
His fortune, which he spends in the
most liberal manner, is estimated at
So, SOC, 900, whereas his younger brother,
who is less open-handed, and has just
been appointed in Casimir's place as
governor of the province of Austria Po-
land, is credited with fortune of four
times that amount. There is a good
deal of resemblance between the new
Austrian and the Hungarian prime
minister. Baron Bantfy, who presides
over the council of ministers at Pesth,
is noble of relatively recent creation
and is married to a village school
teacher. When it is realized that the
influential classes in both sections Of
the dual empire are the proudest aris-
tocrats in Europe it will be understood
that the two prime ministers must be
men of much force of character to have
acquired their present positions.

ancestors, for they were all Norsemen.
Through the bowling Of the storm the
girls voice rose in those old songs. The
sailors, dropping with fatigue and loss
of sleep, and fighting a losing battle,
were urged on to heroic efforts by Mar

At last it became clear that the ship

before ordering out the boats, lay down
and slept little, for he was at the end
of his strength.
Margaret went on singing and cheer
ing the men. AS she worked, she spied
sail in the distance. Signals of dis
tress were already up. They were seen
by the distant ship. It was long time
before the sail, which was brig bound
for New York, could come alongside,
and in the interval the Norwegian ship
was very near sinking; but at last Capt.
Nelson, his brave daughter and ali bis
men were taken of, and their vessel al
