Gold has not huctuated one iota
in England since 1874, when the
Bank of England was re-chartered
under what is known as "the Peel
act," and it was authorized as the
fiscal agent of the government, to
pay three pounds, seventeen shil-
lings and ninepence (slS92) an
ounce for all gold brought to its
counter from any part of the
world The gold supply was very
limited at that time, but ten or fif-
teen years later (after the Califor-
MIA gold came INTO the market), it
became very plentiful; still the
price has remained the same, $lS,9 ,92
per ounce. This proves beyond cavll

The richest and most extensive
forests of hard wood now standing
in the United States are in Arkan
sas. An idea OF their value can be
formed by considering the fact that

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story Of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
tion and "local treatment. "
Take ten cases of female weakness"
and in nine of them "local treatment
is unnecessary, There is no reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub

SOME of the New York preachers for
fat prebends, have evidently been
given to understand by their patrOniz-
ing parishiOners that to earn their
salaries they must not only preach to
the sinners of New York in the name
of the Savior but they must also
preach against the heather who be-
leive in the name of Bryan, Several
have become 80 vicious that they have
provoked mob demonstrations and
been compelled to fOrtify their holy
sanctuaries with police, One poor
fellow who happened to be in attend
ance at one of these sermons and got
up to change his seat, was mistaken
by the patriotic preachers for one who
had risen to answer a question. The
preacher Immediately declared lie
would not be interrupted by cranks
and lunatics and the police led him
out. New York nobility and respect
ability is now just about as much
wrought up as it was when it was a
question of federalist and anti-federal-
ist and Jefferson was the anti-federal-
ist candidate, that the New York
preachers prayed against.

WHEN Charley Butcher at Newton
called Long down on his statement
that he had never pledged himself pub
licly or privately to support the free
coinage of silver and the pretty con-
gresham so lost his head and his legs
that he had to have help to get to the
hotel, it was sign that the backbone
of his campaign, which was already
weak, had completely collapsed. 1t
was indeed very short sighted policy
to say nothing of the perfidy of it for
Mr.. Long to promise this class of dem
ocrats before the last election to stand
by free and unlimited coinage OF silver
in Congress unless he expected to do
1t. Bucher is only one of large class
that will testify to the same things no
matter whether or not on the stump
Long advocated anything more than
the coinage of the American product
and we have a number of them in
Hutchinson. The chickens have come
home to roost and are,making very
foul mess of Mr.. Longs doorstep. But
he can blame only hsmself.

standing is such that it was thought he

davit Mr.. Poynter gives the nameiof

Cook and all the details and particulars.
If Doodle will effect anything the gold
standard candidates for president and
congressman will be generally elected.
The fact that there are many elements,
-populist, democrats and free silver re-
publicans which it is recognized must
get together in order to win creates the
best possible opportunities for the use
of their unlimited slush fund. Antici-
pating this the Wall Street leaders

DEBATES AT wELL1XqrONN.

This has been great day at Well
ington notwithstanding rain fell in tor
rents up to noon. Preparations had
been made to hold the debate on the
commons and it is quite sure that it
would have taken about all of them in
town to have held the people if the
weather had been nice. AS it was the
rink was crowded to every opening and
many were unable to get in.
An hour before the time a great
crowd gathered in front of the build
ing and when che doors swung open a
great shout went up and there was a
rush for good seats. Long came in first
and was warmly received but when
Jerry arrived a few moments later the
crowd rose up in a mighty shout Of ap-
plause which lasted several minutes.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Savage. When Jerry was intro
duced there was another storm of ap.
plauSe. Jerry spoke FOR an hour and
made his points so clear and distinct
that every man in the house could un-
derstand them. And the audience was
composed almost entirely of voters, the
rain having kept the women ana child.
rem at home.
Long floundered through his hour
and half and Jerry followed him in a
frey, humorous reply that set the whole
audience to shouting ami laughing.
AT the close the friends of both can.
ididstes gathered around them to shake
bands, but Long got through with his
people and had gone to his hotel before
Jerry got fairly started. The esteem
in which Jerry is held by the people is
something wonderful. Fully two
thirds of the crowd were for silver.
There is no mistakiBg the effect of
this debate. 1t will certainly win
votes Tor the silver side of the eontrO-
Versy. The contrast between truth
and error is made so plain that it is
visible to the most obtuse. The silver
people of Harper, Great Bend and
Wichita can rest assured thai they
have a great feast before them.-Wel-

In connection with the information
published elsewhere IN this paper taken
from the Kansas City World, the fol.
lowing bit of information may prove Of
interest to our readers.
On Saturday, August 80, 1895, j. M.
Simpson registered at the UuiOn hotel,
and on Sunday morning about eleven
O'Clock he requested John W. Free
born, prominent populist and ex-
sheriff OF this county, to come to the
hotel. Mr.. Simpson there and then
offered to hire Mr.. FreebOrn to 20 to
work for him, stating that be wanted
him to stand in with Breidenthal,
travel over the State, attend pOpulist
meetings, talk up the middle.Of-the-
road sentiment in favor of Watson
electors and report to him all the plans
of the populist party, and that he
would pay all expenses and a good sal
airy.
Simpson and FreebOrn have always
been friends socially, but this was an
open insult and the offer was rejected.
A few days later MIR. Freeborn received
letter from Simpson, with a railroad
pass inclosed, good from Mcpherson to
Topeka and return, requesting him to
come to Topeka that he wanted to have
a consultation with him.
Mr.. Freeborn is poor man but he is
too rich in conscience, courage and
manhood to become spy or traitor for
any boodler, bride glVer, Or political
heller for any party,-McPherson

NEW YORK plutocrats are always
talking about the French revolution

That's right If ever this great

BUSINESS to the welfare of the country
that liespolitical should be treated with
as much scorn and condemnation as lies
of any other nature. But such is the
activity of the predatory instincts and
so hot is the contest tor the spOils that
men Of otherwise good character and

lend influence and aid to such decep-

debate at Newton, the report was cir

taken with a heart trouble, fell in a
faint, and had to retire. The facts
were that Mr.. Simpson was in excellent
