TR -AsURY RAIDs AGAIN

The shipment of over Sc, 900 900 in gold
coin and bars to Europe within one
week indicates that the treasury raids
of last year are about to be repeated.
The treasury gold reserve, so far, shows
a loss of but little over 81, 100000 1ndi-
eating that some of the gold exported
has been drawn from the banks. Any
evidence of continued expectation how
ever will probably cause the banks to
close down on what they have and the
treasury will be called upon to supply
the demand.
The amount of gold now in the treas
ury above the sacred $1O0. 600 900 is
about S53, 900 600 It is easy to see that
this cannot last long when depleted at
the rate of $1,000, 900 a day and this rate
is likely to be greatly increased. Dur
ing the former periods of gold shipment
the amount taken out sometimes reach
ed as high as s5,OoO,0OO in one day.
Very little of the gold which goes
abroad ever comes back. The accumu-
lation in the treasury is the result of a
natural gravitation of the yellow metal
in that direction because people prefer
other forms of currency for use in bust
ness. Nobody wants gold so the gov
eminent gets it.
If it were not for the Ickelheimers,
the Won Hoffmans, the Lizards and the
rest of the spectators who use the
government for filing their own pock-
cts there would always be plenty of
gold in the treasury. If Withdrawals
were made only by our own citizens
who need or prefer gold in their bust
ness there never would be any
occasion to issue bonds to maintain the
reserve.
1t would seem in view of these facts
that the people are paying a very large
price in the way of interest on bonds
for the especial benefit of a few indi-
viduals If this system is to be main
tanned the probability is that before
the close of the year another issue of
bonds will be necessary. How will the
people like it?
Little further can be hoped for in the
way of customs duties, which are usual
ly paid in gold, for many months for
the reason that the country is already
full of imported goods in anticipation of
the new tariff law.
Everybody knows what Mr.. Cleveland
would do under the circumstances. He
would wait till the gold ran low and
then go out and see Mr.. Morgan about
it. What will President Mckinley do?
1t is not too early to begin preparations
for what seems certain to come.

CARELEssNEss
Often Causes No End of Trouble

Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from Piles. 1t is one of
the cOmmonest diseases and one of the
most obstinate. People have it for
years, and just because it is not imme-
diately fatal they neglect it. Careless
ness causes no end of suffering. Care
lessness about so simple a thing as
piles has often caused death. Hemor-
rhages occur from no apparent cause
and loss of blood causes death. Hem
Orrhages occur during surgical treat
ment, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
in the worst stages. without pain or
loss of blood quickly, surely and com
pletely. There is one remedy that will
do it-Pyramid Pile Cure
1t allays the Inflammation immedi-
ately, heals the irritated surface and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling and puts the membranes into
good, sound, healthy condition. The
cure is thorough and permanent. Drug
gists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at so
cents. Send for free book on cause
and cure of Piles by addressing Pyra-
mid Co., Albion, Mich.

CARPETS TO COST MORE.
The Dingley Bill Will Almost Double
the Price of Some Articles.

If you have any mating or carpets
to buy, now is the time to buy them.
II the Dingley bill becomes law it
means a rise in the prices of these
goods Topeka carpet dealers have
already received notices of an advance
IN the prices of the higher grades of
carpets of from two to three and a half
cents per yard and other rises are
Mr.. E. H. Crosby showed a Journal
reporter his notices of raises in the
price OF carpets and he said that he
expected more to follow.
He said: while this bill will I'M
doubtedly make all grades of carpets
higher, its greatest effect will be felt
on mattings of cheap grades. The
DlngIey bill puts a duty of s cents per
yard upon mating that now costs us
cents. In addition to that there is
% per cent ad valOrem duty.
1t IS therefore evident that we will
have to pay more for the cheap grades
of mating and of course will have to
sell it for more. figure that mattings
which we now sell for 1212 cents per
yard we will be compelled to sell at
about % cents per yard.
ON the better grades of mating the
duty of cents per yard is added with
the 70 per cent ad ValOrem, but the
advance viii not be so much in proper
ton. A mating that costs US 20 cents
will have cents added for duty and 20
per cent ad valOrem, making an ad-
vance of u cents per yard, While in
the case of cheap mating the cost is
more than doubled.
4 do not know what the duties will
be on carpets. but these letters from
manufacturers indicate that the duty
will be enough to justify a raise in the
prices.
In the case of mating especially
the burden VIII fall most heavily upon
the masses of the people. On common
linens the duty is more than doubled,
while on the finest grades it is left the
same.
Il tell you, this means a great deal
to the people of Kansas. We are not
a manufacturing people. We are re-
and we cannot stand such raises as are
contemplated and as will undoubtedly
be made.
1T might be all right if we were sell
ing 40-cent corn and other things in
proportion, but we are not doing that
and I see no prospect ahead that we
will soon.''

At present however, the economic
conditions of our country, the recOg-
milton of the relation between popular
education and popular prosperity, and
the attachments of the recognition of
the rights of girls to share all OppOr-
tunities of education, render it possible
for students of psychology. for practical
observers of our social life, and for
teachers to unite in a careful and IN
prejudiced study of the dangers and
the defects of the cOeducational system
between kindergarten and university.
1t is quite safe to say that the cOedu-
cational grammar or high school five
years old that has not had its tragedy
is rare. That coeducatiOn during ado
lescence exposes both boys and girls to
premature emotional development and
to a series of emotional experiences
which, when not resulting tragically,
diminish emotional power and impair
the purity and ardOr of the affections
in maturity, cannot be doubted.

CHANGE WHEAT GRADE.
It Will Affect Grain Speculation
Throughout the World

Chicago. May 1.-The board of trade
purpose a radical change in the wheat
speculation business. The move will
affect the trade all over the world. but
will be especially felt in New York and
Chicago.
The contract grade of wheat now sub
ject to delivery is a poor article, called
No. spring. None want it. The di-
rectors have decided to change the
grade of No. 2 red winter and No. 1
northern, the latter being Minneapolis
wheat. The matter will be submit
ted to vote of the board May 10. AS
little winter wheat or No. l northern
comes to this market, short sellers"
would find it dangerous to operate.
The proposition will undoubtedly be
opposed by short sellers and by the
elevator people on the ground that it
will narrow the speculative market.

Blacks neglect to sign the bill pro-

the tax on estates devised or bequeath-

state have lost almost 81, 500, 000 The

neglect of the governor.
The amount of the estate left by
Havemeyer is quite accurately estimat-

was made today and the result was
that if the governor had acted promptly
on the comptroller's bill the tax that
would have been placed on the estate
would have amounted 81 400 900. The
amount will be far less under the pres
