We agree with the Eureka Union
when it says "Governor Leedy's
determination to have D. o. McCray
on the text book board, after the
senate declined to confirm the
appointment, entities him to the
censure of all who want to see clean,
capable men in public positions. A
few more such appointments will suf.
fee to make his administration tum.
BILE as did dwellings and he may be
surprised to learn how few such il
will require to produce such a result"
McCray is the fellow who journeyed
to Winfield in November, 1892, to
get Bill Hackney's assistance to
count the Pops. out. Hackney
declined and "peached," though Ed.
Greer was willing. When it be-
comes necessary for the Governor
to appoint Republican on board
the Voice can not see why decent
one can not be found. Why take
one of the "gang?"

The Caldwell News strikes from
the shoulder against the appointment
Of John Nyce for postmaster at that
burg. He charged Nyce with
dishonesty two weeks ago; last week
he reinforced his charge as follows:
"If Mr.. Nyce or his friends want to
intimidate somebody responsible for
the information in this case, let them
boldly attack the president, cashier
and directors of the Stock Exchange
bank. The reflections made by Mr..
Nyce's friends upon the News are
COwardly and not to the point. If
Mr. Nyce has been wronged by false
accusations, his friends can vindiCate
him by disprOving these charges.

QueSting that each club hold a meet

education. The first response to this
call is the meeting TO be held in the
auditorium on Tuesday evening, May
II, under the auspices Of the Cary
Circle. The program will include
music by members of the circle and
two excellent addresses. Mrs. Willis
Lord Moore, president Of the State
Federation of WOmen's clubs, will
talk on "The Relation Of Women'S
Clubs to Education" and Superinten-

manufacture and piling up Of goods
far in advance of the demand. 1t is
the penalty that many men have
paid for pinning faith on revival Of
demand for manufactured goods to
follow Mr.. McKinley'S election.
The hoped-for demand not having
materialized, those who extended
production on this false expectation
have been left in the l,rch, left with
bills payable coming due and fabrics
piled up in their warehouses that
they are quite unable to sell and
turn into money. So they are left

amendment ought TO be satisfactory.
The fight over the pooling bill is to
be long and bitter, whether it is
entered into now or postponed until
the regular session. For the first
time since the Interstate Commerce
commission was created it is in the
power of Congress to include in one
measure all legislation to permit il
to cope on equal terms with the
powerful railroad corporations
The meat of the contention between
the representatives Of the people and
corporations is included in Senator
Harris amendment. The cor
porations want to put the cart before
the horse. Senator Harris proposes
to put the vehicle and motive power
in their proper places when the
statute is framed.

Gov. Leedy is looking up some oi
the results of an enforcement of the
criminal laws of this state. He finds
that boy was sent to the peni-

loaf of bread from farm house
while a thief who stole fifty thousand
dollars was given the same punish
ment. The Governor says the fault
is in the law.

1t is early yet to discuss state
nominations for next year but the
Voice would just drop this hint to
the "fxerS" who are already at
work: The people of Kansas will
choose their nominees, and it is not
likely that they will turn down the
man who ran far ahead of all the
balance of his ticket last fall in
order to secure the election of few
administrative Offices. The Peoples
party wants, more than all other
Offices, the congressman. 1t is
through congress that real reforms
must come, and we want sound
men there whether the "fxers" are
taken care of in Kansas or not.

Senator Harris comes to the front
with an amendment to the Foraker
pooling bill which is novel and
meritorious-so much so that it has
thrown CONSERVATION into the ranks
of the railroad lobbyists. Foraker
wants to give the railroads authority
to pool and then submit their
schedules Of rates and classifcations
of goods to the Interstate Commerce
commission for its approval or
rejection. The plan suggested by
Senator Harris in his amendment
provides that full and complete
schedule of the maximum rates and
charges, together with the classifca-
tion of all goods, commodities or
merchandise, which shall be en-
forced, charged or used in the
business Of such common carriers
shall be submitted to the Interstate
Commerce commission, and by the
commission shall DE approved as just
and reasonable before such contracts
suggested in the pooling bill shall be
authorized. This would afford a
national maximum rate schedule
1t would give complete authority to
regulate common carriers by grant.

asm and possessed Of sound business
Judgment.
This action has indeed been mar
row and short sighted-a bad break
in good business judgment. The
VOICE is quite sure that this rule OF
ruin policy has been at great expense
to the city Of Wellington. One
school district in Conway township
would have furnished seven students
for the county high school. A con
servative estimate would give the
school three students from each
school district. There are l9S
school districts in the county. This
would have brought the school 594
students.
The people of Wellington can
judge from this something of whar
has been driven away from theil
doors by their pennywise schoo
board-interested more, apparently
in who should have the job Of prin
cipal than in the success Of the grea
enterprise.
People's voice., 1897-05-06
High School Dead.

The death OF the county high
school is recorded elsewhere.
Speaking from the standpoint of a
citizen of Wellington it strikes the
VOICE as a piece of monumental
folly for the board of education to
have pursued the course they did.
Here was an opportunity to have
built up within our city an institution
that would have attracted four or
five hundred students-a young
college as it were-and by the penny
wise and pound foolish maneuverings
of this board the opportunity has
been thrown away. A better board
Of trustees could not nave been
secured than those appointed.
This was conceded on all
hands; yet every move Of the city
school board since their appointment
has been such as to indicate doubt
in the minds Of the allwiSe city
board, as to the capacity Of the
board of trustees to run a high
school. When, indeed, did it be-
come necessary for man to live
inside city limits and become
chief pusher at horse race, or
70 low some other high calling, in
order to have the essential qualif.
cations for good school trustee.
There could be no greater proof OF
incapacity than this action of our
city school board, while on the other
hand the gentlemen composing the
county board of trustees are highly
intelligent, we'll informed on school
matters, full Of educational enthus;-

Here is letter from the pastor of the
most influential church in South Baltimore,
that every tru.h-seeker should read care
fully.
Every disheartened sick person and every
man or woman who has lost faith in the
remedies he or she has tried because none
of them has done any good-every one who
is sick ought to be cheered up and filled with
new hope and determination by the letter
written by Rev. William T. Bailey, pastor
of the Curtis Bay Church, the most influ-
entail church in South Baltimore.

under display headlines, published the fol-
lowing news of Rev. Mr.. Bailey's affection !:

THE END.


In Genoa there are regular marriage
brokers, who have pocletbooks filled
with the names of manageable girls Of
the different classes, with notes of their
figures, personal attractions, fortune and
other circumstances ,Fkese brokers go
about endeavoring to arrange connec-
tions in the same offhand mercantile
manner which they would bring to bear
upon merchandise transaction, and
when they succeed they get a commits
sion of or 3 per cent upon the portion,
with such extras or bonuses as may be
voluntarily bestowed by the party. Mar
rage at Genoa is thus oftentimes SIM
ply matter of business calculation,
generally settled by the parents or rela-
tions, who often draw up the contract
before the parties have seen one another,
and it is only when everything else is
arranged and a few days previous to
the marriage ceremony that the future
husband is introduced to his partner for
life. Should he find fault with her man
ners or appearance he may annul the
contract on condition of defraying the
brokerage and any other expenses incur

HOW 10 Cure Trouble.

Work is your true remedy. II mis-
fortune hits you hard, hit you some
thing else hard; go at something with
a will. There is nothing like good, sol
i'd absorbing, exhausting work to cure
trouble. If you have met with losses,
YOU do not want to lie awake thinking
about them. You want sweet, calm,
sound sleep, and to eat your dinner
with appetite. But you cannot unless
you work.
There are some great troubles that
only time heals, and perhaps some
that can never be healed at all; but all
can be helped by the great panacea,
work. Try it, you who are afflicted.
1t is not patent medicine. 1t is an
official remedy. All good physicians
in regular standing prescribe it in cases
of mental and moral disease. 1t OPP
crates kindly and well, leaving no dis
agreeable or i'll effects. 1t will cure
more complaints than any nostrum In
the Materia Medica, and comes nearer
to being a "cure-all' than any drug Of
compound of drugs in the market; and
it will not sicken you If you do not
take it sugar-coated.
