STRIKIEG COMPARISON.
Teaching Household Economics and
Woman Suffrage.

The legality or non-legality of woman
suffrage has nothing whatever to do
with its expediency or effect upon the
race. 1t may not be illegal for me to
dine regularly off sawdust or make my
bed in a cactus patch, but both these
proceedings arc exceedingly unwise
and either would probably work me
irreparable injury.
Woman suffrage may conform with
mans law, but it is in conflict with the
divine law of physical, mental and
moral adjustment.

WHICH THE PROPER TICKET.
Fort Scott Fusionlsts Raise ForcibIe
Election Point

Fort Scott, Sept. S.-SeveraI fusion
POpuIists have raised a point which will
be suggested to the state and national
committees for consideration. It is that
the nominees of the boiling Democratic
national convention cannot be placed
upon the official ballot in Kansas and
other states unless by petition because
of alleged irregularities in the manner
of electing the delegates to the boiling
convention.
The Australian ballot law in this and
other states, it is claimed, makes GER
tain provisions for the election of dele
gates as we'll as the nomination of can
didates that were observed in many
counties in different states. Many had
no regularly called primaries to elect
delegates, but a committee simply Sc
lected them. 1t is also claimed that
the law provides that but one set of
nominations can be made by a single
political party and that the Democrats
by regularly called conventions have
already nominated their candidates.

BLUE NOT INTERRUPTED.
J. w. Forest Tells Where He Spoke
About McKinley's Debts.

To the Editor of The State Journal
I notice in your issue of Sd inst an
item evidently copied from the Erie
Record. as the same item appeared in
that paper and was written by their
local correspondent here, to the effect
that a prominent business man here
tried to create a disturbance at Colonel
Blues meeting by asking him who
paid McKinley's debts?'
The article was intended to give a
wrong impression and the facts are
that the question was asked outside of
the grounds after the meeting was con-
Guided and the people on their way
home and was not addressed to any
one connected with the meeting, and I
am free to say I am the one who asked
the question.
Tt is well enough for the young man
to remined people that Mr.. Mckinley is
to the miIlionaires but it was not nee
essary for him to lie about it. As to
the speech being the best ever delivered
in Thayer is a matter of opinion, Col.
Blue made the following statement as
part of it: A silver dollar never was and
never can be worth any more than the
value of the silver contained in it and
the stamp of any government could not
make it any better. under free coin
age the MeXicans could bring their sill
yer here and make US coin it for them
at our expense and then take it back
with them our silver dollars pass at
100 cents because you can take them to
the treasury and get greenbacks for
them and then demand gold for the
green backs. there never was any prem
ium on silver during the war, only gold
was at a premium and no man ever
heard Of q premium On silver. These

not born a Republican, but had been
one in principle for many years, but
when the Republican party at the St.

to maintain the 200 cent dollar his con-
science would permit him to remain a
Republican no longer.

CARRIERS EXTRA PAY.
Judge Lorenz in San Francisco to Ad.
lust the Claim.

San Francisco, Sept. S.-Judge Henry
L. Lorenz, commissioner of the Utined
States court of claims, is in the city
for the purpose of adjusting the long
standing claims of letter carriers for
overtime between 1888 and 1893.
The claims of letter carriers against
the government which Judge LOrenz is
engaged in adjusting arose out of the
decision of the supreme court of the
United States in case of Post vs.. the
United States, rendered in 1891. in which
it was held that letter carriers were
engaged to do a specific class of work,
for which they were to receive a stated
salary. Under the act of congress of
1883 their time was limited to eight
hours per day, six days a week.
After the eight hour law was passed
it became customary for postmasters
to detail carriers to do extra work in
other departments. This the court held
to be contrary to law, unless the men
were paid extra for the labor.
Upon this decision letter carriers all
over the country put in claims against
the government, the aggregate amount
ing to several millions of dollars.
From here Judge Lorenz will go
through the state. visiting all towns
and cities which have carrier service,
proceeding afterward to Utah, Colorado,
Kansas and Nebraska.

down TO consult with the Democratic

shall carry Pottawatomie county this
fall. l was unable to attend the county
convention and they nominated me for
the legislature. I tried to kick out of
it but they would not have it that way
and so I think that the only thing that
I can do now is to go into the campaign
and win. The county was carried by
Morrill, two years ago by about 200
votes but there have been more than 100
Republicans that have changed and
will vote for Bryan this year. and
think that the rest of the ticket will
run along with Bryan"
