That is only sample of the methods
employed by INSCRIPTIONS men to get
money from the treasury without rem
dering an equivalent for it. We recent

nobody would have suspected it. We
are not surprised when we see men
reaching for hundreds of thousands or
millions; but we never expect men to
undertake little jobs for a few thousand
dollars. In other words, little thieves
do not abound among men who have
attained positions and secured reccg-
milton before the executive depart
ments, or who have the privilege of Go-
ing business on Capitol hill. The last
discovery of corruption involves only
the sum of $4,000; and out of that the

Distress (?) in Kansas.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. nth.
Editor of the Leader:
This is going to be great campaign
of education and enlightment. There
is much said now, for EFFECT and to
back up opinions, which are from
knowledge that isn't so. For instance,
we hear a great deal about the distress
in Kansas. 1t was my good fortune in
coming to this place, to find occupying
the section opposite me in the sleeper,
a gentleman from Kansas, recently
elected County Clerk at Abilene, by
1890 Populist majority, and a very
bright. intelligent young man. He
said, Don't make any mistake about
Kansas, we are not all poor out there,
we have plenty of money. Why, there
were only 81 sales for taxes this year in
our county, the smallest number we
have ever had. The trouble in Kansas
is with the railroads. They discrimi-
nate against our products. Our people
are an agricultural people, and what
we want is the Government control of
the railroads-not their ownership-so
that they shall make fair and equitable
rates for our produce to the markets.
Why, they charge us 719 cents bushel
for corn from Abilene to Kansas City;
while it can be sent from San Fran
cisco, overland to New York for cents.
This is what the Populist party is fight
ing for. and we will win in Kansas.
Our neighbors in Colorado want free
silver, and we are going to help them
elect their Candidate-voting for the
Democratic electors-and the Demo
Gratis are going to vote for our state
ticket. The Populists are for sound
money and protection but we must
have relief from the high railroad rates.
We can raise corn at IS cents, and
wheat for S5 cents, and make money, if
the railroads would only lower their
charges"
This statement was denied, the other
day, by a Democrat in Marietta, and
/ write it for his information, and that
of others. On many farms in the West
wheat can be profitably raised for 80
cents bushel.
1t is amusing to hear the political dis
cussions going on all about you. To
hear some of these rampant silver men
talk, one would suppose there were
none other in the land. We have such
an one in our hotel. He scratched
Virginian yesterday and behold, much
to his astonishment, he found a strong
sound money man and an ardent sup
porter of Mckinley He then tried
another, who proved to be superintend-
ent of the Post Office at Baltimore, and
q Democrat. He found out that he, too,
was going to vote for Mckinley. He
turned to the writer to find again, to
his surprise, a strong Mckinley man,
and before he got through, he found
the majority of the guests, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, strong sound
money men and intending to support
the Republican ticket One gentleman
told him Business is quiet now in
Philadelphia, and will be till election,
and ifyour party wins, it will be quieter
yet"
Don't think for one moment that
everybody has gone crazy oyer free
silver and the pneumatic boy" from
Nebraska. In this crowded city, with
people from all over the land, you see
Mckinley campaign buttons at every
turn. L. B. b.

The latest instance of the adapta-
ton of Republican methods is the
publication of what purports to be an
extract from an English financial pa
per, and which turns QUITO be a rank
forgery If the matter is investigated
we have no doubt that this will be
found to be the work of some of the
silver Republicans who. have learned
their lessons in party chicanery and
brought their skill in tricks with them
into the conglomerate that assumes
to wear the grand old name of Demo-
erat. The Democrats in it are far
too simple folk to have ever devised
1t themselves, and the sufficient proof
of 1T is that they are in that aggrega-
ton of isms. No man who does not
know that Organism is not Democ-
racy has wit enough to get up
a forgery of. even an editorial in an
English paper. But the matter will
not be investigated, and its origin is
a matter of mere speculative interest

leans take their own medicine. 1t is

Who does not recall those alleged ex-
tracts from English newspapers dur
ing the campaign of 1884, exulting
over the prospect of Democratic sue
cess and the breaking down of the
trade barriers? Then there were the
old Golden club yarns, the millions
1t had raised and sent to this country
with which to buy votes for free
trade; the million dollars it raised in
1891 for use in Ohio to defeat Nc
klnley, going the length of naming
the person who was entrusted with
the expenditure, and for which one
republican paper had to respond
smartly to the person named in an
action of libel Then there was the

LOOK PLEASANT. GENTLEMEN.

We have had occasion to note the
vigorous application by the silverites
to the Republicans of the arguments
and illustrations which the Republi-
cans have used in the tariff contests
against the Democrats. England is
the same old bugaboo, with a
change of garment, and this country
is to be made as independent Of for
eign nations in it's finances as it was
to be made in its manufactures by
protection. Free coinage is to raise
wages just as protection was to, and
the farmers are to have the same old
increase of price, and there is to be
the same glorious and fructifying pros
peltty by legislation. In fact, it takes
but slight change of a few dis
sinotive words to- make all the old
Republican stock arguments Identical

THE WISER WAY.

While the Gil o b e does not presume
committee or voters in this state the
policy which they shall pursue and
is prepared to follow cordially what
ever shall be decided to be wise. it
does desire to offer them some earnest
advice. This is to the effect that it is
not expedient to place in nomination
this year a state ticket or nominees
In the several congressional districts.
AS far as the congressman are con-
cerned, the issue has been made ex-
ceedlngly plain by the complete
scheme of fusion arranged in this
state between Democrats, Populists
and silver Republicans, and by the
absolute disappearance from the CAM
pa1gn of everything but the silver
question. AS far as national policies
are concerned, there are many issues
whose fate will hang upon the selec-
ton Of a president for the next four
years. But the congress which is
elected this fall will be chos-
en- with reference to the free coin
age of silver, and nothing else what
ever The advocates Of that policv
are absolutely united. They have put
up boiling Republicans and Populists
with silver Democratic Endorsement in
all the districts. They have CONSOLE
dated the silver vote on the silver
issue. There seems to us to be but
one way to meet that, which is bv an
equally strong consolidation of the
sound money forces. The National
democratic party does not aim or ex-
pect to control congress this year, IT
could not carry any Minnesota dis
tr1ct. There is no reason why 1t should
name candidates in order to UNFOLD
it's principles, as it has had to do in
the national field, because, within the
most circumscribed area. there is as
we have said, but the one question to
be passed upon.
Now, the nomination of National
Democrats for congress, who would be
supported by sound money voters only,
must divide the sound money vote to
that extent. The gold standard Dem
ocrats are not going to vote for Re-
publicans like Towne, or Populists like
owen, In any event, no matter who
else may be in the field. In the same
way there seems to be no special req
son for naming a ticket of state Of
Ulcers. The silver question and the tar
III question have simply nothing to
do with state affairs. The National
Democrats have not at their COM
mand an organization which would
enable them to make an effective cam
paign on state issues. They are young.
and in this campaign will make but a
beginning throughout all the counties
for future work
1t would, in many respects. be de-
sirable to have National Democratic
state ticket before the people; since
they are now limited in their choice
to the two Republicans who alone are
candidates for the governorship. But
the situation is an anomalous one.
Had the National Democrats been
in existence as party year ago, and
were they now organized on a fighting
basis, we should urge the nomination
of candidates for the different state

One of the happ1eSt FEATURES OF the
meeting of the Grand Army encamp-
ment was the enthusiasm that 1t
evoked among the women of st. Paul.
We have said before, and are glad to
say again, that there was no greater
element than this contributing to the
splendid success that crowned our eff
forts in the greatest work that we
have undertaken. Equally happy is
it that this spirit is not to be allowed
to die away without leaving behind
it a tangible representative; and add
ing to the permanent monuments Of
st. Paul one which shall commemorate
together the fame of the defenders of
the republic and the intense earnest
ness and patriotism of those who now
enjoy the fruits of their stern labors
and willing sacrifice.
At the meeting of the women's COM
mittee yesterday it was proposed and
carried unanimously to make perma-
nent the fine and thorough organiza-
ton that now exists and to take I'D
the project of building a monument
to the defenders of the Union. 1t was
worthy and q happy thought st.
Paul is one of the cities in which
there are no lasting memorials of the
heroes who fought and fell in the War
of the Rebellion. Earnest as may be
our appreciation of what they did, the
event has now receded so far into the
distance that it requires a special in
spiration, which encampment week
has supplied, to force into practical
prominence project for it's commence
ration. This is what has happened,
and we ought not to lose the fruits of
this energy, this earnestness, this
awakening Of love and loyalty.
The women of ST. Paul have done a
great work, and they have another
possibility Of achievement before them.
Seeing what they have done, under
standing the noble fervor that has
brought them into closer and more
sympathetic union than anything in
the past, and knowing how difficulty
and encouragement yield to the hands
that are as mighty in their province
as those that WELD the bayonet and
the sword, we have full faith in their
ability to accomplish the task that
they have set for themselves. A
worthy monument will be erected if
they shall SO decree, and If they move
forward with the unanimity and de-
termination that have wrought SO
well within the last few months. We
have but one word Of caution and
advice. Let there be no delay. Let
not the inspiration of the occasion be
lost and power be dissipated by wait
ing to plan until new interests inter-
vene and new claims are made upon
action and will and thought If the
women push the work, st. Paul will
soon have a stately memorial column
that shall stand as witness for all
time to come of the two things most
precious to a nation; of the twin pill
lars on which any enduring national
greatness must rest; the valor of it's
fathers and sons and the fidelity to
high motives and pure ideals of it's
mothers and daughters
