thoughtful forebodings of the crisis
upon us as seen by the most intelli-
gent thinkers of the day. We have
noticed that in almost every gathering
of educated bodies of late these same
ominous forebodings have been ex-
pressed in one form or another. It is
wicked and criminal to shout fire when
there is no fire. But it is eqally 50
and more so, to see a house on fire
and not give warning to the sleeping
inmates. The laboring population of
tho cities and in the East in general is
a seething volcano and it will tax the
ablest and most patriotic statesmen to
avert trouble in the near future. It is
worse than folly to shut our eyes to
these patent facts; the manly and pa
triotic way is to face the condition as
it is and apply the remedy in time.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

It is reported from Washington that

are to organize and make a vigorous
onslaught on the civil service laws
and regulations. We believe that is
rigk 1T. The civil service is one of the

offics holders, and is contrary to the

Office under the civil service rules
form an exclusive class of snobs, in
do]ent and lazy, and we believe that
the public gets even less and poorer
service that way than it would get I'M
der the competitive or spoils system.
The army officers constitutes one class
OF otficia! snobs; the navy officers are
another class of the same species; but
the civil service snobs have reached
tho acme Of snobbish perfection, and
they should be abolished as un-Amer-
lean and public nuisance. The Fl ght
on the civil service law and rules will
most likely be lead by the Grand
Army of the Republic, and it's fate
seems therefore to be scaled. FERGUS

The Wife's Commandments.

I. 1 am thy wife; thou shalt have
none but me, whom at G cd s altar, thou
hast sworn to love, protect and cher
ish.
= II. Thou shalt not attend places of
amusement, alone and with other gen
tlemen, but with thy wife: so that she
may also be "au fait'' as to what is
going on.
III. Thou shalt not encourage
"Woman's Righters' and other gen.
tlemanly women; for thou knowest we'll
their rights are to attend their homes
and families and let all things pertain
ing to mankind alone-save their
pocket books.
w. Thou shalt not complain of thy
wife to a third party. Speak kindly to
her in private, so she will desire to
correct her faults, because it is thy
wish and for her good. Neither shalt
thou always be talking of "expense'
and some other disagrecable subjects,
for thou spendest far more on club
suppers, etc., than she on necessities Of
life; French bonnets per example.
v. Thou shalt not marry a lady
whom thou canst not trust with the
management Of thy home and children:
and then thou shalt not interfere in
her kingdom. If thou attempest it.,
she will be justified in donning h at and
coat and taking charge of thy bust
ness.
VI. Thou shalt not refuse thy wife
"pretty things.'' "Remember to dress
her beautifully and keep her true," is
part of every Benedict's duty.
VII. Thou shalt not be bossy and
authoritative in thy manners to thy
wife. Thou shouldst know any proud
spirited woman would resent COM
mand when she would sacrifice herself
without limit to comply with a re-
quest.
+ VIII. Thou shalt not imagine thou
hast a monopoly of annoyan and a
Fpatent right on grievances. Thou
shalt consider the many trials to tenn

But populisln is
now bearing fruit in
Kansas. The econo-
mic doctrines Of populism took hold
and swept Kansas in 1890. In half a
dozen years it has redeemed her farm
ers from the clutches Of foreign money
lOarers. Kansas has more true blue
yankees and more union soldiers than
any other western state. Her record
or patriotism, intelligence and indie
pendence is vindicated again as it was
in the early struggles of the rebellion.
Her farmers saw at once in 1890 that
populisln was her only salvation and
they put it into practice. The old po-
liticians stood aghast and predicted
ruin and disaster to the state. But
her people kept ri ght on. And to-day
the enemies OF populism admit that
Kansas populism has flooded the state
with money instead Of driven it out
May we not hope now that other states
will learn a lesson in politics from
Kansas?

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Suppose that the United States
should pass law forbidding the use
of wheat for human food. Don't you
suppose that that would affect the
price of wheat? During the last few
years the United States, India, Japan
and other countries here passed laws
disseminating or restricting the use of
silver as money and as a consequence
silver goes down in price. And still
there are men in this country who pre-
tend to be intelligent that think there
is something wonderful in the fact hat
silver goes down in price. Of course
it is useless to argue with such people.
Then it is asserted as a trueism by
these same philosophers that we can
not enhance the price of anything by
legislation, that is as long as they are
on the silver question. But change
them off on the tariff question, and
then they will tell you that by legis-
lation we can raise the price of every
thing produced and consumed in this
country lumber, coal, sugar and even
wages Notwithstanding that our coun-
try is open for all the labor Of the
world to come here, and also wheat
and cotton of which we have an export
able surplus! They say we can and
ought to pass laws to develop and pro-
tect all our natural products and in
dustries except, of course, silver!
Yes, silver, that is the accursed stuff
that we neither can nor ought to touch,
take or handle. Silver is the demon
in whose presence the arm of Uncle
Sam drops paralyzed at his side; TT
is true that Uncle Sam has mort
gage on his homestead Of about a
thousand million dollars payable in
silver dollars-so written in the mort
gage-and it is also true that there is
plenty of silver in his hills out OF
which these dollars can be made; and
it is no less true that there are millions
of his boys going idle for want of work,
who might be proftably employed dig
ging out this silver to lift the mort
gage on the homestead, but still in
spite of all these facts, Uncle Sam
ought not to use his silver, but in
stead take another mortgage on his
homestead for the purpose of buying
gold to pay with, SO as to make his
children bond slaves forever. So
argue these philosophers who sheer al
the silver lunatics.
We do not know what the people Of
this country want to do on the silver
question in the future. We know
peoplc as a rule like to be humbugged
But sometimes they get streak O
hard business sense in their heads.
And if they should get such a streak
in the near future the silver question
will be u mighty live one. The people
OF the the United States might ge
tired of being fooled all the time, anl
proceed to pay their debt according te
the contract in silver dollars. Then W.
should see whether silver went dow1
and wheat up as is the case now,

Of a fat office, or
some editor who let others do his
thinking, or a Pills bury who has made
half a million dollars in wheat options
to get up on the house top and shout
prosperity. But the real thinking re-
publican is not now even indulging in
any great Boosting as to the future.
The latter knows that while higher
prices for agricultural product is a
benefit to the west, it is the reverse to
the laborers Of the cities and the East
unless raise in wages follows,
Hence we have strikes now for higher
wages. But it seems that the coal op-
orators and manufacturers cannot yet
raise wages, and will not as long as
there is two men for every days job to
be done. How to raise wages so as to
compensate the laborer for the higher
cost OF living is the problem now be-
fore the country, and until that is
solved look out for reports from the
labor centres of the east.

CURRENT COMMENT.

THERE is no doubt
I oaT wEs1 that there is a bet
ter economic cOndi-
ton out West, especially in populist
ridden Kansas. The dailies have Of late
been fullof editorials about the Kansas
farmer and how he is paying off his
mortgages and still has money to
flood the bank Of that state SO that the
latter are in a terrible fix to take care
of the food of money. The same con-
ditiOn is to some extent true of Ne
braska, the Dakotas and Minnesota,
just about in proportion as the above
states were Or are infected with popu-
lism. These facts are given us by the
republican press, and must be true
strange as it may seem, and notwith
standing that these same papers last
summer predicted ruin and disaster in
this section and that all money would
leave such populist strongholds as the

Gomez Wounded.

Rumors have been afoat in Havana
since Friday morning that Gen. Maxi
mo Gomez, the insurgent commander
in-chief, had been killed in fight near
the military line in the province OF
Puerto Principe. Later Saturday the
reports of the killing of Gen. Gomez
we're modified to the statement that ne
had been seriously wounded, but no
body outside of official circles believes
this report to be true. La Lucha pub
fishes dispatch from Tunas stating
that in the engagement between the
Spanish forces and the insurgents un-
der Gen. Maximo Gomez the horse rid
den by Gomez was shot under him.
According to official advices aunumber
of insurgents who have surrendered TO
the authorities at Placetas assert that
in the same engagement in which Gen.
Gomez's horse was killed the insurgent
leader himself was wounded.
