ALL DEBTORS NOT DISHONEST.


Free Silver Means That Creditors Are -
Lose 30 Per Cent.
L. the proposition for free silver at
10 to /" expedient and honest?
Stripped Of verbiage, the proposition
is for this government to embark in the
Immediate and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer dollars. each dollar to contain ap-
proximately 80 cents worth Of silver
bullion; to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing the concurrent circulation
and parity Of gold and silver, and to
compel by law the acceptance Of the
new dollars in payment Of all debts.
The object is to reduce the value Of
the dollar about one-half, and by Fore
ing creditors to take this dollar for debts
to scale all existing obligations. The
only exception will be where the shrewd
creditor has stipulated for payment IN
gold. Such creditor will be paid in full,
but the unsuspecting man or woman
who has merely trusted to the honor Of
the nation is to be "done up" just in
proportion as the dollar is scaled.
The populists are solid for this
scheme. It's in their line Of business.
They are opposed to a dollar having any
intrinsic value, but il they must have q
dollar worth anything at all the less it
is worth tho better it suits them. Very
few Republicans take any stock in the
scheme, and the more it is studied the
sooner it will be dropped by all think
ing men.
Tho agitato.s assume, because Kansas
people are in debt, that every Kansas
man ought to join in the clamor for
such dollars. deny that it is the duty
Of any man, because he lives in Kansas
and is In debt, to favor scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong.

WHEN WOMAN IS NOT GRACEFUL

Conditions Under Which She Manages -
Look Absurd.
Why is it that, Notwithstanding the
worship accorded to woman In the ab-

absurd under conditions wherein men
try to keep their dignity? Is it stereo-
typed convention which hampers our
judgments, or are these things really
facts? For instance, there is nothing re-
markable in All old gentleman crossing
