PENSIONS are on the increase nothwlth
standing that the death rate among those
who saw service is 10000 per year. The
net gain of names on the pension roll for
the last fiscal year is 1886. Under the
Cleveland administration number of
p, nsions were dropped. The present
administration has restored 1871 of these.
The pension list is assuming the form of
a perpetulty. It is now an entail. A
proposition is under discussion now to
pension the wives of soldiers in the regu-
lar army, even though the latter never
smelled powder. The idea that the gov
eminent owes us all living 10 steadily
gaining.

The \. Y. Sun Is bitter in its denuncia-
tim of Seth Low. And why? Simply
because Seth Low accepted a nomina-
ton at the hands of people interested in
reforms IN municipal government. Low
and George were the representatives of
reform in the election contest, the former
practical IN his knowledge the latter the
orehcal, radical and profoundly sincere.
Neither man, If elected, could carry out
his ideas, out the campaign they con

CoxEY, the populist candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio, spent more money in his
campaign than Is permitted by law. But
he Is not amenable, as the law provides
no penalty for a defeated Candidate.
Coxey, N all probability, made correct
report of expenses because of his immun-
ity. Had he succeeded, he would not
have done so. No doubt he has Invelgh-
ed with all the tervor of populistic con-
viction against the practice, but it was

They Heard Bryan.

It is probable that there was never
before a crowd in Wichita which
would equal, or at any rate surpass
that which assembled last Friday to
hear the renowned champion of bimet-
alism and the people. Reno county
was there almost EN- masse. Not only
populists and democrats, but republi'
cans contrived to ''have business" in
Wichita on Bryan day. The jam and
crush was 80 furious that it required "a
hustler to get anywhere within hearing
distance, but Reno county as usual got
to the front.
The town, as usual in such cases,
held the people up for all they could.
Street car accommodations were not
half adequate to the demands and old
coal wagons and everything that would
carry were rugged up with seats, which
were sold at % cents each. AS to the
speech, it was above expectatlOns-nOt
in oratory, not in eloquence that stirs
mems souls, bat in shrewd, ingenious
argument which cOhvinces mems
minds.

More Bank Arrests.

Several days ago j. j. WEIGH was ar
rested on complaint sworn by Mr.. Fer
gusOn and Mr.. Wright, charged witt
making false statement of the affairs
of the Bank of Hutchinson to the bank
commissioner.
On Tuesday Messrs. W f. Hutch
insOn, Wilfully, and WEIGH were ar
rested on an old warrant issued on the
18th of July charging them with swear
ing on the 25th day of July 1895, to q
false statement of the condition of the
Valley State bank on the 18th of July
1895.
If these cases are brought in good
faith to punish crimes committed we
will have no words but those of ap-
proVal to offer, but if as appearances
indicate they are brought for political
effect, to offset The charges made in the
newspapers that all these prosecutions
were to be dropped as part of the agree
ment of the settlement, the action mer
its the severest condemnation of the
people.
It's felt that something must be done
before election to make the people be-
lieve these bank wreckers are to be
prosecuted. The agreement prevented
"a prosecution of those under bond SO
they dug up these old charges that are
Outlawed by the statutes of limitation.
This is the way the matter appears.
Welch was discharged on writ of
habeas corpus Wednesday night, the
judge deciding that the statute of linn
itations had run. Of course the decis-
ion will apply to all three alike.

Not long ago he lost his hogs with
cholera and times have been going hard

about six o'clock Friday on leaving

were excited which upon search were
found to be justified; for at about eight
o'clock his body was found hanging IN
the granary. He leaves a wife and
baby. This is a tale of prosperity.

The New Tariff

VIII, beyond doubt advance the price
of all classes Of dry goods. Merchants
tell us that they are paying the advance
on some lines now and that as soon as
present stocks on band are exhausted
the advance will be sharp and general
on all lines of goods.
W. NJ. Craig & Co. advertise their
immense stock, every dollar of which
was bought under the old tariff rate, at
old prices Everybody will, without
doubt need more or less dry goods FOR
the coming season, and we would adj
wise all such to take advantage Of w.
NJ. Craig & Co 3 foresight in securing
such large stock when goods were at
their lowest, and which they are still
selling at the old price.
