A subscriber to the State Journal at
Oak Hill, Kansas, encloses a circular
from a firm OF Wall street brokers and
writes the following letter:
Oak Hill, Clay Co., Kan, July 2. go.
To Editor State Journal
Our family have read your very read
able paper for several years now, first
as weekly, later the daily, but the hard
times has again sent US back to the
weekly.
You have been standing for "silver
and Mckinley We too are for silver,
but in the light of recent events are
not so sure about Mckinley. This
week the enclosed circular came to the
house but as We are selling eggs at 5
cents per dozen; our stores are paying
s cents per pound for butter and if we
wanted to sell corn we could get but Is
cents per busheI for it; we have no mon
ey to invest and send the interesting
document to you. Wall street evident
" sees a bonanza in the way the lines
were laid down for Mckinley by the
convention managers" How are the
people of Kansas to support such a
platform to their own undOing?
CSigned)
ONE WHO FEELS HARD TIMES.
Following is an extract from the en-
closed circular:
The financial plank of the St. Louis
convention has been agreed upon and
it declares for gold in the plainest of
terms, using the word gold" so that
there may be no equivocat ton. Nc
Kinley's value as a protectionist is
well known, but his value as an hon
est money financier was not we'll
known until the lines were clearly laid
down for him by the convention mana
gers
The New York stock market under
good guidance now presents a money
making opportunity which has never
before been paralleled in the history of
Wall street. and we advise you to place
in use for the purchase of sound secur-
tiles whatever funds you can COM
mand.
Prices are low, a thing of itself that
insureS a profit.

THE cold NEWS MIsTAKE.

The gold men persistently misrepre-
sent the currency. question BY assert
ing that it is proposed to double the
value of silver by force of government.
They doubtless know all the while that
this is untrue. What is proposed by
the silver men is that silver shall be
given as good a market as gold has.
Every ounce of gold in the world has
a market at the counters of the Bank
Of England at a fixed price, a price
which never varies. It is proposed that
the United States shall do the same for
silver; that is all. The Bank of Eng
land pays for the gold presented, in its
own notes; the treasury should pay
for silver with silver certificates such
as are now issued. Bank of England
notes are redeemabIe in gold coin on
presentation. Silver certificates are re-
deemable in silver coin on presentation.
The gold men have lost the fight al
ready because they have thus presumed
on the Ignorance of the people from
the beginning, when the ignorance on
which they counted did not exist. The
masses have not rushed blindly into
the silver camp as has been assumed
in the east. They know what they are
doing and they have been studying this
question for years. Many have waited
patiently for a long time to see if there
was anything to be said on the other
side before publicly declaring them
selves. They have seen nothing but
such Misrepresentation as that referred
to above.
The time for discussion is now past.
The minds of the people are made up.
The question must be settled; this year
if it be settled right, otherwise the
contest will be maintained until it is
settled right. Error may be overcome
but truth lives forever. and must fin
ally prevail.

lucky was named unanimously for presi.
dent and General Joseph Lane of Oregon
for vice president.
Thus divided the Democratic party was
beaten in the election of 1860, and the first
Republican president was inaugurated at
Washington on the 4th of March, 1851.
The civil war, the emancipation Of the
slaves and the assassination of Lincoln in
his second term followed
The whole face of our internal affairs
was changed by the refusal of the Demo-
Gratis of the north to give up their candi-
date for one whose views on the question
of slavery were less extreme and by the re.
fusal of the south to accept anything less
than plain exposition of their views on
the question of popular sovereignty.
The Democracy of the south refused &c
straddle in 1860, as the party had done in
1856.
The Democracy of the north declined to
put up an ambiguous candidate, as it had
been willing to do four years before.
The two sections separated, and the party
was weakened so that the Republicans
elected their candidate for the presidency
and gained a control OF the government
which was rot broken for "a years.
If the west and south stand up for free
coinage of silver at IS to in the conven-
ton of 1896, and the east stands up for the
gold standard; if the sections find it inn
possible to meet on any common ground,
will the experience of 1860 be repeatedi
Will the Democracy so before the country
with two candidates and in that division
Of its strength lose the election?
The eyes of the world are on Chicago
and the ears of the people Of the United
States will listen anxiously for the an.
nouncement of the result Of the cOnven-
ton s deliberations

His Eotel Exnerlence.

Many tales are told Of the mistakes made
by rural visitors in city hotels, and very
often the long bow is drawn until it is in
danger Of swapping asunder under the
strain. But here is one which is absolute
Il true and which happened at the Irving
House.
A gentleman from the regions of bucolio
simplicity, accompanied by his wife, regis
tered at the hotel, and about 10 O'Clock in
the evening the clerk was confronted by
the husband, who remarked that they were
ready to retire, ard who wanted to know
when the bed was to be put into their
room. A bellboy was dispatched to show
the verdant guests how the folding bed
operated, and for a period of several min
utes ali was quiet in the Office, when the
man from the country again put in an ap
Cearance He wanted to know if they
couldn't have washbo7vl and pitcher Of
water. Again the belIboy was sent up TO
explain the mysteries Of a stationary wash
stand. But more trouble was in store for
the attaches Of the hotel, when an appari-
ton clad in airy garments was seen beck
Oning from the top landing Of the stairs.
1t was tho gentleman from the country,
who wanted to know how the gosh dern
light was put out. - The beIboy accom-
panied him to his room, whereupOn the
countryman pointed to the hand grcnades
labeled fire extinguishcrs'' and said he
didn't know whether to throw them at the
electric light or not. The boy turned of
the light, and no further trouble ensued-
But the stranger hcd made three trips
to the cHice when he might have touched
the electric call bell. -Philadelphia Record.

Mr.. Howell Russell, the famous costume
artist and designer, lives in Chelsea. He
is clean shaver, broad shouldered man
who began life in some Cumberland iron
works, afterward became assistant master
at q school and finally drifted into art. In
his special branch 1Ir. Russell is prc-emi-
nent. In designing ballet, for instance,
he is provided with list of the number of
people who viii perform, divided into sets
of dancing girls, nynlphs, slaves and so
on. Knowing il what order these will ap-
pear and how they win be grouped he has
to construct his color scheme, being Pro-
vided with patterns Of every new material
and every novel tint. The sequences are
all important, 50 that the costumes Of each
row of advancing girls may harmonic or
provide the proper contrast with those who
are retiring. The effects are judged By PIN
ming portions Of silk ard satin, muslin and
other materials in graduating shades on a
vast sheet of paper. 1Ir. Russell delights
in his work which keeps him fully Cccu-
pied. You would be surprised, 80 he said
to a recent interviewer, ''to learn how a
costume artist regards the world from
color point of view. EyerSSDg ht effect in

LeveEcss Napoleon.

Mason states IN his memoirs of Nape-
leon that the Little Corporal bitterly
regretted that no woman ever really loved
soon as Napoleon was sont to St. Helena
proving conclusively that her course of &c
ton was prompted by the love OF her coun-
try and not for any tenderness that she
may have felt for the great general.
Nevertheless If Napoleon was a failure
as lover and husband, - according to Mas
son he succeeded in retaining the adora-
ton of his foster mother to the end. The
deepest affection existed between NaInmuc-
ella Caterina and her nursing. She came
to Paris to see him crowned emperor. and
when told by Napoleon 70 ask him for any
favor begged that she might be introduced
to the pope.
The old lady so amused his holiness
with accounts Of her garcon, as she was
won't to call the emperor, that he forgot in
her society the difficulties Of his situation.
Marnmuccia CATERING nearly died of grief
when she heard of her garcon's downfall
And nothing could be more forciblc than
the terms with which she denounced Marie
Louise for not following Napoleon into
exile
Marnmuccia Caterina, despite her great
age, was preparing to go to comfort her
garcon at St. Helena when she died Dur
ing his prosperity Napoleon heaped favors
upon her and her family. Today her de
scendants bear the title of barons and arc
received in the best society in Paris. Their
family name is SSaveTias.-HapPy Thought.

MUST HAVE NO MORE OFT.

The firing of guns and revOlvers by
Fourth of fully celebrators is a dangerous
practice that should be stopped. It
should never be permitted in this ciIy
or any other city again. On Saturday
several persons who were drunk fired
pistols containing ball cartridges and
it was only a chance that no one was
killed. The list Of eyes lost, fingers
blown off, and other serious accidents
is long enough without adding fatali-
ties to it. If guns and pistols are to be
used, there is nothing to prevent muir
derous and evil-minded persons from
putting their enemies out of the way
through the preten9e that they didn't
konw it was loaded or the shot was
accidental" The Kansas City Times
says on this subject:
TT is well and good that the people
should celebrate the anniversary of
their independence, the glorious Fourth,
with all the latitude that a just consid-
Grafton of the rights and comfort Of
others will allow. But the time sub
nits that the practice of discharging
firearms upon the public streets, or
-vithin the city limits, is at once a null
sance and a danger which for many OBJ
upon any future occasion in this COM
munity.
"A moments reflection will convince
any Intelligent person of the impro-
priety and unwisdom of this practice.
The noise is not only of a character
which seriously disturbs and alarms
timid and nervous persons, women and
children especially, but it will readily
be seen what a prolific source of acct
dents and injuries the custom almost
inevitably entails and also what a con-
venient shield it affords the vicious and
misunderstanding, classes for the graft
fication of their malice and other evil
propensities1
Persons were seen firing loaded cart
ridges from pistols in Main street and
other prominent thorOughfares yester-
day, and it is a merciful dispensat ton
Of Providence that the fatalities and
casualties We're not more numerous
than they were.
The Times is glad to hear that the
abuse rext year, but all sensible citi-
zens will regret that he did not put his
good resolutions into immediate effect.
We believe there is a law against the
discharge of firearms within the city
limits, which furnishes ample author
ity in the premises.
Let us all enjoy ourselves to the ut
most limit consistent with the protec-
ton Of others in their pleasures, but the
liberty of the individual in this respect
should not be permitted to degenerate
into unbridled license"

Governor Morrill, has seemingly
started out to employ the same tactics
this year that Cy Leland says he did in
1894. Although in an interview here in
Topeka recently he evinced decided
leaning toward silver, at the Leaven-
worth ratification meeting he made
strong gold standard speech. Perhaps
the governor is merely carrying out his
idea of submission to local public senti-
ment, and will, during the campaign.
if he should be nominated, make gold
speeches in gold standard communities
and silver speeches in those having sill
yer tendencies.

Apparently the only thing lacking at
Chicago to precipitate a bolt Of the gold
standard Democrats, and the placing of
the ticket among the possibilities is the
nomination of Teller. With Teller
as the nominee of the Democrats
and Populists, both parties could enter
the campaign, little hampered by their
past history. In the eyes of many it
would be regarded as a new birth. The
tariff question would be wholly elimi-
mated from the campaign.

of New York, has made a more heroic
sacrifice for the sake of principle, even

It is frequently suggested that Popu-
lists are not sincere friends of silver.
Few of them pretend to be such. They
only regard the coinage of silver as
means for rendering less objectionab Bile
