Anarchy.

The plutocratic press but a few
months ago was, and in fact is now,
devoting considerable time and space
to heaping all manner of abuse upon
the heads of some of our leading think
ers in the line of reform, because they
made so Oe,y bold, and were so tinctur-
ed with SoefaItsffe, Anaychistic and
Revolutionary Poison as to criticise
the acton of certain courts. We were
told that the infallibi1ity of judicial
ern1ine could never be susceptible of
criticism, and that the dignity of our
courts must forever remain inviolate.
But, when one of "our courts" in a
single instance, out of the many hun
dreds that have been adverse to the
people and have been patiently borne
by them, assumes to cut loose from the
traditional and usual paths so pleas
ant to p1utocracy, and, after a full
hearing, running through several
weeks, with the assistance of a master
in chancery, decides a case in strict
accordance with the statutes, and with
all the rules of equitable and legal jur-
isprudence, and it happens to pinch
one of the plutocratic feet, what a
wall goes up.
Here is Harper's Weeky, a paper
used as authority by many Republi-
can campaign speakers during the
summer and fall of 1896, saying:
Another antitrust decision has
been made by federal judge. This
time it is Judge Foster, of the United
States District Court, sitting at To-
peka, Kansas. He holds that the
Kansas City Stock Exchange is an IL
legal trust and his decision appears
to be broad enough to cover all ex-
changes. Some of his economic re-
marks appear to be silly enough to
cover him with shame

The Problem.

Not without envy wealth at times must look
On their brown strength who WELD the reap
ing hook
And scythe, or at the forge.fre shape the
plow
or the steel harness of the steeds of steam:-
All who, by skill and patience, anyhow
Make service noble, and the earth redeem
From savageness. By kingly accolade
Than theirs was never worthier kuighthood
made;
Well for them, If, while demagogues their vain
And evil counsels proffer, they maintain
Their honest manhood unseduced, and wage
No war with Labor's right to Labor's gain,
OF sweet home comfort, rest of hand and brain
And softer pillow for the head of Age.
And we'll for gain if 1t ungrudging yields
Labor its just demand; and we'll for ease
II in the uses of its own, it sees
No wrong to him who tills its pleasant fields
And spreads the table of its luxuries.
The interests of the rich man and the poor
Are one and same, inseparasle evermore,
And; when scant wage or labor fail to give
Food, shelter, raiment, wherewithal to live.
Need has its rights, necessity its claim.

NUMBER rs.

The fall of silver means the rise of
gold and its equivalent. And the rise
OF gold means the fall of prices of all
property, measured in gold. Wher-
ever silver was in competition with
gold to supply the demand for money.
1T lessened the strain on gold. and
wherever that competition has been
removed, the demand for gold has
been increased. The increased de-
maud for gold causes it to rise in value.
1t means the rise of the dollar, Gold
being the measure of values, its in
creased price will be indicated by the
greater quantities of property required
to buy it-which means the fall of
prices. In considering the supply of
gold, the probable increased produc-
ton from new discoveries cannot be
safely relied on to answer the in
creased demand, coming from Japan
alone. The fact that the demand for
wheat has temporarily increased more
rapidly than the increased demand for
gold, is because of a phenomenal short
age in the supply of wheat. When the
ounce price of silver was S1.29, the bu.
shell price of wheat fuctuated above
and below that figure, but the average
price of a bushe1 of wheat, through a
number of years. was about 81 %.
One dollar with rare exceptions. was
regarded as minimum price for wheat,
and frequently the worlds price was
sl.oo per bushel, and higher. When
the unprecedented reason that now ex-
lists, eliminating in the present
price of wh.at, is removed, the busbel
price can be expected to dip to the
once price of silver. And with a large
worlds crop of wheat produced, an
oversupply, the price can be expected
to go below the ounce price of silver.
or to 40 or even 80 cents per bushel.
Under the present phenominal condi-
tions the farmers of the United States
are being swindled by the gold stand
ard out of THREE HUNDRED MIL
LIONS of dollars, that they would
otherwise receive. And, knowing
these things. the farmers will re-en-
force the crusade against the gold
standard until, by change in the
money measure, they have brought
rising prices for all their products,
thus transferring the seat of power
from Wall Street to the Farms and
Plains of the United States. And
when the scepter of state has been
thus redeemed, the cause of humanity
will be safe and the onward march will
begin, that is to bring peace on earth,
and happiness to all.'

The Same Old Ring.

Topeka, Kan, October 23.-The
same old Republican ring, that has
dominated bossism politics in Shaw
nee county for years, is again at work
lin the same old line-spending money,
villifying recorded facts, suppressing
the truth, lying about public matters,
and resorting to all their old tricks
and few new ones in an effort to fool
farmers and railroad employees into
voting their ring" ticket, and to
blind them as to the real object to be
attained.
1t is to be regretted that, under
present conditions, these gentlemen
cannot go to the voter with the naked
truth with reference to publicmen and
the public welfare, and permit him to
make an intelligent and unbiased
selection of the representatives of
public benefits to be secured by a
judicious use of his right of suffrage.
T. A. McNeal seems to be the only
addition to the old gang, which fact is
to be regretted, as Mr.. McNeal is
every inch a gentlemen, is clean Re-
publican, and has usually held him.

ences of the political methods en-
ployed by the Shawnee county ring.

The Reformer.

There never was reformer, there
never yet was good man who made
his voice heard on the side of truth
and righteousness against immoral
custom, who did not incur the inces.
SAINT sneers of wickedness and conceit
and know something of the heartache
of martyrdom. How can it be other
wise? Most men eat and sleep and
drink and die, and trouble themselves
little or nothing about anything but
their own personal ease and comfort.
They right no wrongs, they unmask
no falsities, they brave no opposition;
but those who have been striving with
all their might, perhaps amid years of
rancour and ingratitude, to help their
fellows have wrought no de1iverance
on the earth.-Dean Fayray.

WRECK ON THE HUDSON
Twenty-eight Lives Lost On The New
York Central.

Garrisons, N. Y, October 25.-A
heavily loaded passenger train on the
New York Central dashed into the
Hudson river near this place at break
of day this morning. The engineer
and fireman were both killed and
scarcely any one lives to tell the tale
of the terrible disaster. The train
left Buffalo last night and had pro-
gressed nearly nine -tenths of the
distance toward its destina-
ton, when the entire train left
the track, at point where there was
a heavy retaining wall, and plunged
into the river. The engineer and fire.
man were both at their post and went
with their engine to the bottom of the
river and were never seen again.
Nearly all the passengers were Sleep
ing at the time, and it has been i1npos-
sible to get accurate information.
Twenty eight are known to have gone
down, and it is impossible to say at
this time how many more.

the deposits were SIS, ,22o, 71s. .24-an in
crease of $6,417 ,61O.76.
The law requires the banks to have
reserve of 20 per cent. Mr.. Breiden-
thaps report of three months ago
showed reserve of ~ per cent. The

Coming Our WAY.

There are strong indications that
the people of the United States will
be called upon to decide whether it
would be to their advantage for the
government to own and operate the
telegraphic system. This question is
being discussed to some extent by the
papers, some representing strong ar
guments in favor of the proposition
and others claim it would be paternal-
ism, step that might lead to the
sitting of individual effort, socialistic,
and the Democratic papers opposed to
the movement declare it undemocratic.
"The Press believes it would result
to the advantage of the people and for
this reason favors the government
ownership of the telegraph.
"The government operates the mail
system, and to deny that it is a fuuc-
ton of our government to operate the
telegraph, more advanced and equally
important mode of transmission, is a
condemnation of the government op-
Grafton of the mails.
"The Western Union obtained it's
franchise from the government, which
is proof positive that it is an inherent
right of government to operate the tel
egraphic system, In granting it the
right of appropriation the government
delegated privilege it should jealous
ly guard.
Foreign countries operate the tele-
graph lines to the great advantage of
their citizens. Besides there is no
reason why we should leave that pay
ing and advanced mode of transmits
sion of intelligence to few individu-
ais who are growing rich at the ex-
pense of the public and reserve to our
selves the right to operate the mails
which is done at loss.
"We do not see that it would stifie
individual energy for the government
to own a telegraphic system, for all
companies would be permitted to do
business, but of course, would have to
meet competition.
''The socialistic cry is one form of op-
position that is not entitled to serious
consideration. People who fear pro-
Igress have and will always exist

hour, in the judges private chamber.
Luetgert was brought into court and
the report went abroad that a formal
motion to admit him to bail would i'm
mediately follow the conference.
When the conference was over Luet-
CERT was taken back to Jail. States
Attorney Deenan vigorously opposed
the demand that the prisoner be re-
leased on bail and the upshot of the
argument was that no formal demand
for bail was made. Ex-Judge Vincent
said that he would let the matter rest
for two or three days and then make
formal application. He added that
any reasonable bond could be given.
1t was intimated that if the form al
demand was denied writ of habeas
corpus would be applied for.
Judge Tuthi1l said: "I fancy that
Luetgert will never again be tried in
court in this county. That is ques-
tion which must be decided upon when
the state gets ready to make another
move. From the wide publicity which
the newspapers have given the evil
dence in the case, the marked atten-
ton which it has attracted in all parts
of the country, and the frenzied in
terest which the people of Chi
cago have taken in the trial, hardly
think the prosecution can find twelve
men who have not already tried the
accused in their own minds and either
acquitted or convicted him. That is
the problem that is confronting the
states attorney now, and unless he
solves it by producing the men, of
course Luetgert will go free"

Abducts Her Own Child.

Topeka, Kansas, October 23.-The
question of mother being compelled
to abduct her own child, for which she
has been duly granted custody by le-
gal process. is presented in this city.
Mrs. Estella Brooks. was awarded a
divorce from Rev. ]. H. Brooks on ap-
plication filed in the District Court at
Oklahoma City, Okla, July %, 1897,
and was granted the custody of her
three children.
BY some means Brooks secured the
custody of the children and took them
to Grand Junction, Col.
On discovering their location Mrs.
Brooks went to Grand Junction, but
was denied permission to see the chill
dren. But one day, in passing the
house where the children were, she
saw her little girl playing in the yard.
Maternal love prompted a ruse. A
strange young man who happened to
be passing was hailed by Mrs. Brooks.
She told him that her little girl was
playing in the yard, having crawled
through the fence, and "would he go
and get herr" He went, and Mrs.
Brooks was happy in the possession of
her child.
Mrs. Brooks finally makes her way
to Topeka, where she is recognized by
several citizens and the police, but she
is unmolested. The boy has also ran
away from his father and joined her
here. She has shaved off the little
girls hair and dressed her in boys
clothing.

AS Expected.

London, October 22.-The cores
pondence in regard to the bimetallic
proposals of the United States monet
airy commission was issued by the
British foreign Office this evening,
Senator Wolcot, Adlai E. Stevenson,
and General Chas. Jackson Paine, of
Massachusetts,, were present. Senator
Wolcott, on the invitation of the Brit
ish Premier, explained that the object
OF the mission was to ascertain in ad-
vance of an international conference
the views Of the different governments
and the envoys had determined to as
certain the views of the French, Brit
ish and German governments on the
subject of holding conference. They
had been to France where they had
reached a complete and satisfactory
understanding with the French COVER
ment, and the ENJOYS would have the
cooperation in this matter of the
French ambassador in London.
The Premier thereupon inquired at
what ratio France would open her
mints. Senator Wolcott said at fifteen
and one-half, adding that the Ameri-
can ENJOYS had accepted this ratio.
The Marquis of Salisbury asked if
France was ready to open her mints
to free coinage and Senator Wolcott
replied: "Yes."
After a lengthy explanation by
Senator Wolcott of what it was desired
to secure by the international confer
ence, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach an
nounced definitely that Great Brittian
would not agree to open the English
mints to the free coinage of silver and
that whatever views he and his COL
legues might hold regarding bimetal-
ism, he could say that they were uni
ted on this point.

Republican Political Methods.

Referring to the strained criticism of
republican journals in reference to the
refusal of State Treasurer Hefflebower
to pay certain small warrants on ac-
count of the lack of funds, the statis-
tics in the Office of the Secretary of
State show that on December 1st, 1896
Just prior to going out of office-the
republican board of state house COM
missioners had on hand of the state
house fund $4.04, and warrants out
standing against that fund amounting
to $16,673.86, besides an obligation to
the Kansas City Stone Sidewalk Co.,
on contract, of So, 900, and some other
smaller items making a total indebt-
edness created by the republican
board, with but $4O4 to pay it with, of
S21, ,221.36.
January 9, when the books were
turned over to the present administra-
ton, there was of this fund 1896, As
making a republican deficiency to
be met by the new board of $40, ,325. 81
out of this one fund.
1t follows, to state it simply, that the
republican board, in view of the
change of administration, grabbed at
all they could get; made all the ex-
pense possible, and possibly violated
the law in doing so, and then sat down
and how1ed about 'bond issues,' ETC.
This may be Every cute political
trick, but it will probably be determ-
ined in proper time that the people
think more of their money than to
have it wanton1y adapted to the politi-
cal uses of any party.
