For the Taxpayers.


The citizens and taxpayers Of Kan
sas are vitality in having an efficient
and economical administration Of
state affairs. The comparison Of Nor
rill's and dwellings administrations
shows conclusively that the present
administration, upon an equal basis
Of expenditures, has made such saw
ings in the disbursement Of public
moneys that, II the same policy had
obtained with the Populists, over
5000. 900 would have been saved to
the people Of Kansas. 1t is also well
known to the public, through the tes-
timony Of Mrs. Mary +. Lease and
Mr.. N. NJ. Hinshaw, two Of the Popu-
list trustees in charge Of the state
charitable institutions, and through
the unanimous findings Of the com.
mittee, composed Of Republicans and
Populists, that Investigated the con.
dition ofthose institutions, that they
were in deplorable condition under
Populist rule; that the unfortunate
inmates were inhumanly treated, by
being deprived Of the proper quantity
and quality Of food and clothing and
by neglecting the sanitary conditions
surrounding them, whereby much
sickness and mortality unnecessarily
resulted, and this, too, in the face Of
the face Of the fact that more money
per capita was expended in their care
and maintenance than has been nee
essary under the present Republican
officials, under whose management
the inmates are better clothed and
fed, at less expense, and the sanitary
condition so improved that sickness
and death have been reduced to a
minimum.
Realizing the mistake they had
made, the people two years ago
restored to power the Republican
party, and elected f. N. Morrill, gov
ernor. The result has been that
state affairs have been put upon a
businesslike basis and administered
in an economical manner heretofore
unknown in the history Of our State.
Over 5000, 900 have been saved to the
people. The evidence is so over
whelming that it is to the interest Of
every taxpayer Of Kansas to perpet-
uate the present state administration,
that every citizen should see that
there is no doubt OF Its reelection on
the Sd of November

Salt Lake Mining Exchange.

The Salt Lake mining exchange

intention to list nothing but actual
ore-producing mines. President Don

''Indian Commissioners Browning
has turned deaf ear to the appeals
of these starving Indians, seeming to
believe that the only good Indian is
dead Indian. Chief Ignatio has
personally met Mr.. Cleveland at the

"Individual l'recdom,' which has

to foster class legislation and create
inequality Of fortune, to corrupt pub

ent mind from the public councils, to
lower the tone of national rcpresen-
tation, blunt public conscience, ere
ate false standards in the popular
mind, to familiarize it with reliance
upon state aid and guardianship in
private affairs, divorce ethics from
politics and place politics upon the
low level of a mercenary scramble,
than any other single cause.
"Step by step, and largely owing
to the confssion Of civil strife, it has
succeeded in obtaining control of the
sovereign power of taxation, never
hesitatng at any alliance or the res
ort to any combination that promised
to assist its purpose of perverting
public taxation from its only true
justification and function, Of creating
revenue for the support Of the gov
ernment of the whole people, into an
engine for the selfish and private pro

The Montana Wesleyan Universe
ty has just entered upon its sixtl.
year. During the past it has moi
usen the word Wesleyan, which has
always been part of its corporate
name, but owing to the opening OF
the state university it has become
necessary to use the full title. The
past five years have been years of
varying success and encouragement,
but the realization of the need Of
such school has given its promot,
ors and patrons strong faith in its ev
entual success.
The failure to realize upon the
large plat of ground about the univ
ersity has left burdensome debt up,
on the property since its improve
ment, but the hope is strong that the
debt will be raised this year. Rev.
Jacob Mills, one of its first and
staunchest friends, was recently cleo

Bishop Ninde, Of the NJ E. church,
to represent the needs of the univer-
sity wherever possible, but especial
