MIR. Bryan on Equality.

In his speech at New York on Febru.
airy 20 Mr.. Bryan said: IF any person
believes government should single
out few people and give them advan-
tages over others. he does not under
stand equality under the law"
This is very true. But. in demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to
take 50 cents worth of bullion to the
treasury and have it stamped as one dol
lar is not Mr.. Bryan advocating the
very inequality under the law which he
rebukes, Would not free coinage of
silver ut a fictitious ratio be to single
out few people and give them adj
vantages over others?" The owners of
silver bullion in this country are very
few indeed.
Again Mr.. Bryan says: mo just gov
ernment ought to enable or permit one
citizen to injure another citizen"
True. But would not the govern
ment do this if it enabled one class of
citizens, the debtors. to discharge their
obligations to another class, the cred
itors. in dollars worth only half as
much as were the dollars loaned? If
the government were to make wampum
or conch shells legal tender for the pay
ment of debt. would it not enable one
class of citizens to injure another class?
And would it not do the same in depre-
eating the currency of the country to
q 50-cent basis?
The people so decided last November.

the part OF her husband. Mrs. Ada
Myers, Of this city, will probably die

who was standing near it. was soon
covered with flames Her screams were
heard even by neighbors, and her hus-

Kansas and FaYmers Are Jubilant
OBERLN, Kan, April Without
doubt there Is more wheat and other
small grains planted in northwestern
Kansas this year than for many sea-
sons past. There is scarcely quarter
section of land idle anywhere. The
farmers seem to feel that there will be
a change. and that 1897 will prove
good crop year, and SO have put in all
the ground possible. Corn, millet
and cane will also be planted at
the proper time. A variety of crops
will be planted by nearly every farm
err, so that in case the small grain
crop is failure there will be plenty OF
corn. and Il the season should be too
dry for corn, then millet and cane will
furnish feed for the stock. The time
has passed when the farmers of the
west rely on one single crop. 1t has
been the experience of nearly all that
one good crop, either wheat or rye and
other small grains or corn can be
grown each year.

cArrLEMEN NEEDLEssLY ALARMED.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Congressmen
Cochran and Cowherd, Of Missouri, and
Congressman Peters, Of Kansas, have
been flooded with kilograms from Mis-
souri, and Kansas cattlenen asking for
information in regard to the retroac-
tive clause of the tariff bill. The cor
respondents said that nearly all con-
tracts made by Missourians and Kan
sans for the shipment of Mexican cat
tie were practically made in January,
earnest money being deposited in that
month and shipment ordered as soon
as the Mexican cattle were ready for
importation. They fear that under
the retroactive clause they will be
compelled to pay the new tax of So a
head. Their fears are, however,
groundless, as it is provided that all
articles purchased for import prior to
April shall not be subject to the new
rates Of duty.
BLOW AT THE CIVIL. SERVICE.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Representa.
tive Corliss, of Michigan, Saturday in
troduced a joint resolution to revoke
all the orders extending the applica-
ton of the civil service laws which
were made by President Cleveland dur
ing his last administration. Mr.. Cor
liss thinks that the power to revoke
presidential orders rests with con.
gress or the president, but says that
President Mckinley should not be
called upon to rescind the acts Of his
predecessor. The house by unanimous
consent passed the senate joint resolu-
ton to charter q vessel to carry food
to midas famine sufferers

KANSAS ANTITRUST LAW.
A Tumble In Prices on Staples Controlled
by Combines.

by Combines.
FoRr ScorT, Kan, April 5.-The anti
trust law passed by the last Kansas
legislature took effect in conspicuous
manner here to-day. All travelling
men for houses either in this state or
the east that handle goods controlled
by trusts received kilograms from their
employers instructing them to meet
all competition on articles affected.
1t is generally predicted by the
statesmen that the instructions
will result in the tumbling of
prices on all staples controlled
by trusts, and they think the loss will
accrue to the wholesaler. The law
which precipitated the reduction
makes it unlawful, upon severe pen
atty, for any wholesale or retail mer-
chant to enter into an agreement with
any other merchant as to the price Of
certain products, or for them to sell
goods at prices agreed upon or regu-
lated by any combination Of interests
on particular product The effect is
sweeping throughout the state and
great interest Is mani tested in the re-
suit

RIVERA SAFE AT PRESENT.


Orders from Madrid That His Trial by
Court Martial Be Postponed.
HAVANA, April 5.-Acting Capt. Gen.
Ahumada has received orders from
Minister Of War Azcarraga at Madrid
not to try Gen. Ruis Rivera immedi-
ately by court-martial. The minister
thinks that summary court-martial,
followed by the shooting Of Rivera
and Bacallao, would have bad effect
in Europe. 1t has just transpired that
Rivera was captured in hospital and
not in battle, as the official reports al
legged. Rivera had been wounded in a
skirmish two days previous to his cap
ture, and when seized was receiving
treatment in Cuban hospital.
