ONE POINT SETTLED.


The discussion which has been
going on regarding the silver ques
tion is not altogether barren OF re.
salts. The gold men are learning
something aud the outlook is there
by rendered encouraging. AS an
evidence of thisi II may be noted
that they have abandoned one of
their hitherto pet theories, which il
or was the conteution that in the
event of opening the United States
min,s to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, America would
become the dumIiing ground for all
the silver OF Europe. This was
almost their entire stock IN trade
for while but they have had the
folly of such proposition present
ed so often and so clearly that it
seems to have led TO their entire
abandonment of that idea.
Gold standard orators and gold
standard organs no longer put for.
ward the dumping ground theory,
1t is a hopeful sign. AS the cam
paign progresses they will proba-
bly, also see how ridiculous it is TO
try to maintain that other equally
absurd idea that all the gold will
leave this country. II never had
any more foundation than the
dumping ground" theory which
they have given up. 1t is mere
assumption without any warrant in
fact or in history.
That additional gold would come
into the country on account of the
impetus given to business by free
coinage of silver is not unlikely.
bui that gold will go out even TO the
extent that ii is now going they will
find it difficult TO make anybody
believe. Hence it will not be sur
prising if they abandon this line o!
argument next.
Perhaps the gold advocates will
even decide definitely whether free
coinage will result in ~ cent dol.
lar or in doubling the value of sill.
yer will. the result of enriching the
silver miners.
In view of the fact that if the
total sum paid to American labor
were divided among the employed
and the unemployed on a per capita
basis the Anerican laborer would
receive little more II any than the
Mexican laborer does. and the addi.
tional fact that capital is pouring
into that silver standard country,
they may even before the campaign
closes cease to point to Mexico as
all awful example Of free coinage
o! silver.
Then. there is the matter of main.
tanning a parity of the two metals
in accordance with the declared
policy of the government. They
may drop that when they realize, as
they certainly mus;, the absurdity
of it. They cannot failto see that
with all the ISSUANCE of bonds for
keeping up the gold reserve aud
with the redemption of government
notes in gold on demand no parity
has existed for "a single day. In
fact, the metals are farther apart
now than they were when the parity
policy was promulgated.
There is but one way 10 maintain
a parity and that is TO treat both
metals alike.-Topeka Journal.

THE AFTERMATH.

Looking back over the big reun.
ion, which was held in Camp Logan
last week, we see many wonderful
things. In the first place, the crowd
was larger by many thousands than
was expected and the Interstate
Reunion Association was taxed to
its utmost to take care of the old
comrades, their families and their
friends who came to take up their
abode for a week in old Camp
Logan.
Again, something wonderful was
the system with which the affair
was managed from beginning to
end. Everything on the program
passed off quietly. The finest of
music, both vocal and instrumental,
was enjoyed by the thousands all
the week, the best of speakers were
in attendance, the pumping plant
did its duty nobly under the super
vision of man who is "onto his
job" there were no quarrels of any
consequence, nobody was killed or
injured, there was no thieving to
amount to anything, and, in fact,
almost everything was as il should
be.
Eastern people talk about the
wild and woolly West" but cite us,
If you please, to single town in
the East, anywhere near the size of
Baxter Springs, that could enter
tain and keep in good humor such
an enormous crowd of people for
one day, let alone "a whole week,
without three or four killings or
distressing accident of some kind.
In the East is where you find the
thugs, pickpockets, dissolute char
acters, and in fact the offscourings
of creation. They infest the old
Eastern towns and cities-not the
Western towns.
The officers OF the Interstate
Reunion Association deserve much
credit for the able manner in which
this huge affair was managed, and
the city officers and police come in
for their share also. The reunion
association officers labored day
and night tirclessly and unceasing.
ly. and the credit for the success of
things at Camp Logan is theirs
without dispute.
The Girard and Pittsburg bands
furnished better music than Camp
Logan has been accustomed to and
the members of those organizations
never shirked duty, but were con-
stantly on hand when wanted TO
"blow brass" or jam wind" The
Weir City Glee Club, another excel
lent musical organization. furnish
ed vocal music that charmed the
crowd and won it many cheers and
much credit.
The weather was ideal in nature
all week and no complaint was
heard on that score except from
the ice cream and lemonade men.
The weather wasn't hot enough for
them.
The reunion next year promises
to be a glowing success because
the one just closed was.
All talk about moving the reunion
to some other town should now be
stopped. The Interstate Reunions
will be held at Baxter Springs.
