TOWN AND VILLAGE IMPROVE
MENTS

Recently the writer of this has
Travelled in several of the middle
states and has seen a number of towns
and villages and many long stretches
Of country road. 1t would seem a
libelous extravaganza to say that not
one farm fence In 80 was in order, but
with due respect to our own proper
pride, the statement is we'll within
the facts. Of the good roads move
ment nothing need be said here, be-
cause enough is being said in count
less places, and with such slow effect
that we almost begin to feel that the
statesman who said it took England
40 years to carry out a reform after
she saw the full necessity for it,
might twist his words to fit his kins-
men on this side of the sea. For sew
eral generations the solemn intellects
of our state legislators in all the
states have been weighed down with
| the problem of how to fence in stock
without building fences, and the per-
suasive agents who deal in contriv
ances of wire war; ented to outlast
eternity have complicated the situa
ton in more ways than one, but the
general effect has been the same-the
decay and the Generalization of the
fence. There are in the United
States about 100000 farms, but it
might be rash thing to say tn at
200, 900 of them are surrounded by
fences kept in good repair and pre-
senting an agreeable appearance.
But the most deplorable condition
is that of the average town or village,
where the opportunities for beauty
are SO numerous and where they are
so often neglected. It is almost i'm
possible to make an American city
acceptable from an artistic stand
point, because the difficulties are so
innumerable; at best it will take
century or two to achieve anything
satisfactory, but we can catch our
towns and villages young and thus
train them from the start. The main
obstacle is the general lack of CO.
operation. There are village i'm
PIO OOhOI1Oo anu OIdOO1 duo
plans by landscape men and archi-
tects, but, except in rare instances,
they are SO complicated or so costly
as to be forbidding to the small popu
lations, for almost verybody who
owns a home lives pretty close to his
income and fights shy of any extra
expenditure. Our observation from
scattered cases is that the village i'm
provement movement which really
improves and keeps on improving is
the one that begins in simple meet
ing of the property owners They
get together and talk matters over.
When there is interest in improving
and identifying towns and villages
the owners of homes will keep them
improved and bea utiful. After all
the sentiment of community is pref
ty we'll expressed in it's physical con-
ditiOn, and when carelessness is
written all over a settlement it is d
place which wise people avoid. It is
SO easy to correct these evils, and the
results are so profitable and far
reaching, that crusade for town and |
village Improvement ought to be lone
Of the browning achievements of the |
century. Weekly.

WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS.

A local correspondent beseeches US to
turn our attention from national eX-
travagances to local retrenchments.
Wherefore? If you want to bring man
-a-Standing. hit him ON the head.
Punches in the lumbar regions don't
count. There is the general national
government, inside of which are the
state governments, inside OF which
again are the county, township and
city governments, all going round and
round with their respective full compile
ment of officials, and all under pay.
There is but one president for the entire
scheme, but forty-four governors, thou
sands of county commissioners, tens of
thousands of councilmen and hundreds
of thousands of policemen. One presi-
dent and congress runs the entire aggre
CATION, while it takes but three commits
sioners to run a county, yet dozen
city councilmen, as many members of
the board Of education, twice as many
policemen, to say nothing Of numerous
and squires to run a little
town like Wichita, leaving out of all
count the police commission, mayor.
clerk, attorney, assessor and an array of
others who must be paid, and promptly.
And then there are the public services
in the way Of water, light and the like.
Where would our critic have us begin?
He asks too much. We however agree
with him upon the general proposition
that something should be done. Who
is going TO do it? The officers won't,
nor will those who want to be officers.
The voter must do it. Until he gets
move on him all talk is a useless waste
Of wind.

A NATIONAL NEED.

The question of all others now con
fronting the Republican party is the
money question. Its leaders seem TO act
as is they thought the money question
had been settled by the vote in Novem-
Der. But the vote by which Major Nc
Kinley was elected was not unit, in
its convictions, on either the money or
tariff questions, as Republican leaders
will soon find out. Had there been no
money issue in the late election, Major
Mckinley would have been elected SOLE
mel Of the vote would have been entire
ly different from that which did elect
him. With the tariff as the sole issue
he would have gained states which
were lost to him because Of the money
question. With silver eliminated the
Republicans might have carried New
York, but, again, they might have lost
that state. A very large per cent of the
vote which went Republican is as rad
icaIly dissatisfied with the monetary
conditions of the country as the most
pronounced Bryanite. This is a fact
that should not be overlooked or other
wise smothered down by Republican
leaders. The currency question must be
met and satisfactorily settled i'll the
very near future. We are not speaking
of revenue, for we believe that the Re
publican party will prove equal to that
1t is given out that Senator Sherman
will oppose the retirement of the green
backs. He is quoted as declaring that
he believes that it is easy to maintain
limited amount of the greenbacks in cir
and without fear of gold drainage
from the treasury. If not difficult for
limited amount, why is it for the whole?
1t has not been long since Mr.. Sherman
said that the whole trouble was to be
found in an insufficient revenue. We
do not believe a word Of it, nor do We
think that he so believes. The question
of revenue satisfactorily settled, there
remains the gold reserve still menaced
by the greenback, with the country on
q gold-demand basis. To wipe out the
greenback by substitution is to force
gold to a premium Sherman has had
much experience with the monetary af-
fairs of the country, and his knowledge
is very great, but what is wanted now
is not only experience and knowledge
but unselfish patriotism and wisdom, |
and not only as Il party need, but as |
national one.
A national monetary conference will |
meet in indianapolis today. 1t will be |
attended by upwards of 500 delegates, |
which fact proves the truth of our asser-
ton that the money question is the up |
permost question of the hour. These |
delegates are from every section Of the |
country, from the gold-bug east, from /
the silver west, from the north and the |
south. There is no partisanship in this |
movement. The movement is in re- |
spouse TO the pressing conviction felt |
everywhere among business men that |
the money question is not settled. 1t is
TO be hoped that there will be found
wisdom among this multitude of coun-
sellers

THE POP STATES.

The Kansas legislature, which meets
today, will be overwhelmingly Popu-
ilstic, the majority in the house being
twenty seven, and in the senate
about the same proportion. But
few however, of the rampants
of two and four years ago have
been returned, and those who were
have been TUNED down in caucus,
as have the Rich's, and that class
been defeated in their ambitions for
clerkships. 1t is even asserted that
Leedy's inaugural message will be mod
crate and pacific. But we will know
more about that tomorrow. What is
true of the Pops of Kansas seems true
Of other states which went Pop last fall.
The newly elected Populist governors
who were classed as extremists during
the campaign are all now protesting
that they are conservative" and deny
any purpose Of favoring radical legisla-
ton. Governor Adams of Colorado is
himself capitalist and may be ex-
pected to have an eye to his own inter-
ests. Governor Rogers of Washington
announces that mo person or corpora
ton need fear any discrimination" in
that state. Governor Steunenberg of
Idaho says his influence will be with the
conservative wing of the party. Gov
ernor Smith of Montana is described as
"a substantial and conservative citi-

A NICE LITTLE BILL.

England, now and then, pays roundly
for the abnormal greed of her people.
To oyerreach is a national ambition of
the Briton. She must now submit to a
parallel humiliation of the Alabama
claims. According to the Johannesburg
Standard, the Transvaal Beers have
completed their little bill against Widow
Witten's government in the way of an
indemnity for Jameson's raid. These
Dutch descendants have been quite a
while about it. but from the size of the
bill they will lose nothing by their delib-
Grafton. In round figures they demand
in the way of an indemnity $4,000, 900.
Counting the millions extracted as fines
from the Johannesburg conspirators
and the British invasion of the Dutch
republic viii prove a profitable expert
ence for the Beers. 1t beats ordinary
enterprise and thrift When the bill is
paid, and it is difficult to see how Great
Britain is TO dodge it. Dom Paul can
stick another feather in his hat and ex-
claim: Thanks; very many thanks.

is always out and our guns loaded

And there beheld a piteous sight.
She sat straight upright IN the bed.
Her little hands pressed 10 her head,
Her eyes in wild delrium's dance
So bright scarce could bear their glance.
Her little face with hottest flush
Wore raging fever's crimson blush.

No glimpse OF reason gave her power.
The raging fever drank her life.
While through my heart Ike keenest knife
