We have again been requested by the
officers of our Chautauqua Circle to ask
all inmates who are not members of

works are among them to kindly leave
them with the dollhouse keeper or tell
your shop keeper so that he may inform
him and thus have them returned to
the secretary of the Circle. This
notice is especially applicable to in
mates who have arrived at the prison
within the last six weeks. Following
are the names of the missing books:

consideration. The great Re-
publican majorities Of old Kansas
were as unreliable as the rapid
growth Of the boom country. No
boom can come again-no $4,000
Republican majority can be hoped
for, but the best men and the best
party and the pest principles stand
a better chance at this time to rule
Kansas than at any period since the
birth OF free state.
The Populists, for all their vagaries,
have blazed the way for improv-
ement in the business and political
life of Kansas. They haye failed to
improve their opportunities, but
they have enabled the best men of
the state to see the needs of the
hour.

Ewing Herbert, the staunch Re-
publican editor of the Hiawatha
World says "there are more John
Wanamaker Republicans in Kansas
than there are of the Quay kind;
the POpulists rule the state by
consent of Republicans grown tired
of old party methods" Wanamaker
has just given the New York Herald
another interview in which he says:
"The public heart cannot be fired
by eloquence just now, Tor the power
of patriotism is wet with tears Of
suffering unemployed. Give me
hold of somebody's hand who will
do something, not talk about it
month after month.
"To keep work for the 5000 and
more persons in my employ and
turn away from the several hundred
who apply daily and beg for the
privilege of labor to keep the wolf
from the door drives me into a
fever, and l must speak out. ANY
citizen has that right
81 cannot sit on a fence with a
stiff wind blowing and whistle for
prosperity, vanished bird of beautiful
plumage, to come back.
"There are not a few who believe
that since the war no such exigency
fell upon the county as that which
preceded the election IN November,
1896.
"The spirit which moved the
people then is still alive. 1t will
neither be ignored nor dallied with.
The tariff, money, economy Of
expenditures must be arranged
fairly and promptly if We are to find
contentment or prosperity.
Gathering ourselves together on
the monetary question cannot be
done too soon. There is no use OF
sending delegations to foreign
nations until We have some definite
proposition to make.
"Let authority be given i'm.
mediately for a monetary COM
mission to determine what the
United States wants to do on the
money question, and then let us &c
after it and get it a, promptly as
possible"
In line with this sentiment Mr.
Herbert says:
The politicians at Washington are
as blind as the politicians of Kansa:

which overthrow them. While con.

ChicagO's Best PawnbrOkers Do Not
Want Them as Security.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle
When the deceptive sun of March
breaks through the clouds and hints of
spring, then, according TO the old story,
the gilded youth goes to mime uncle" and
redeems the light overcoat he placed in
cold storage the preceding autumn at
per cent. a month. He knows that the sun
is making bluff and that the winds still
rule the atmosphere, and he must have
that light overcoat to be in it with the
man of fashion. This IS what the legend
which has come down from the declara-
ton of independence says he does. He
may in other cities, but not in Chicago.
The old tale, much touted on the stage
which reads that with the recurrence of
the first snow the light overcoat OF the
man of fashion and small income goes
into the shop of his pawnbroker as GER
tainly as it came from his tailor seems to
be a dream of the fun-makers as far as
this city is concerned. There are as many
shades of pawnbrokers as there are va
rieties of storekeepers in other lines of
trade, and few of the better classes,
where a fair return can be had for the
pledge and where a man must have a
sponsor TO do business, will have any,
thing to do with garments for pledges.
This limits the youth to the less reputable
houses, where anything salable can be
paWned at eXOrbtant rates ana with little
advanced on the goods.
Experience has taught the knight OF the
giided spheres that a coat or suit i'm pawn
is a sale as far as the original owner Is
concerned. II means to him that he will
not see the pledger again and that he
must look to the clothing itself for reim-
bursement As he Is a money lender and
not a clothier he hesitates even when re-
sponsible persons offer the most costly
garments. Diamonds and jewelry, readily
turned into cash II not redeemed. are his
legitimate prey and most Of the better
class Of brokers will refuse to advance a
cent on a fine sealskin cloak, even with
every reason 10 believe that the pledger
wants money for a temporary bridging Of
financial difficulties.
II Is different IN other classes OF pawn
shops. There are any number In the city
where a man can pawn anything that has
value. He can put In his wardrobe and
get a small advance and agree to pay
fearful rate OF interest. lie does not need
any sponsor, for the pawnbroker looks to
the goods ana not the man. No questions
are asked about the place whence the
goods came. the broker merely makes
careful examination, says what he VIII
give. and makes the deal or not. n made
