One Wife Enough.

The attempt to reform our Indians out
of their practice of having several wives
is sure to be unpopular, with the Indians.
They live under a Mosaic dispensation, in
which a plurality of helpmeets is an
honor. rather than a deterrent, TO hap
piness. Now the United States govern
ment, in the making aud ordering OF
which poor Lo had no voice and no
hand. informs him that he must hereafter
he content with one. As it is Impossible
to make a man content by law, and, as
the more law the more discomfort, this
scheme is destined to failure; yet, 1t the
red man could see as far rs the white one
does. he would realize that this interior
ence is Tor his ultimate good. Because
one of these times his squdw will take to
, bicycIes bloomers and diamond rings,
and Old Man Afraid of Clean SOCKS will
then lit up his voice and praise the white
man that has restrained his marital
tendencies and compelled him to harbor
hut one wife. And when you go out
West and see his wife, especially II yot
see several of her, you wonder what
mower could ever have made him desr'
: more than the civilized allowance.

Every business man has practical rea-
son To know what an infamous nuisance
illegible postmarkS are. 1t is cheering to
know, therefore, that the new First AS
s;stant Postmaster General is about to
institute a reform. "Legible postmark-
ing" he saws in recent letter OF instruc-
tons, "is of the greatest Importance TO
the public AS evidence before the courts,
in business transactions conducted
through the mails, and in fixing respon-
sibilitv when mail matter has been I'M
properly handled by Postmasters and
other postal employees. The frequency OF
complaints in regard to defective post
marking makes it necessary for the de-
partment to adopt severe measures to
remedy the trouble. Much of the post
marking, especially that at the smaller
offices, is a reflection upon the Posta
Service. The figures OF the stamp must
be carefully adjusted at the beginning o
each day, and then a clear impression
must be made in book especially KEEP
for the purpose, so as to afford evidence
of the discharge of this important duty.

The tariff bill is likely to be a good
deal more easily recognized by members
of the House when it comes back to that
body than was expected at first. The
important changes which the Finance
Committee recommended have not been
accepted by the Senate, and in the one
important schedule remaining, that re-
lating to wool, it is believed that the
House rates on first and second class
woods will be restored, or at least rates
approximate to those named in the
House bill adopted.

The silver forces, it is said, are looking
for a new leader. The idiosyncrasies of
those who led the silver cause to defeat
last fall are growing so rapidly that the
people who are spending money to keep
the silver cause before the country have
concluded to make change in leader
ship. 1t is understood that this was the
real cause Of the Chicago gathering, in
which ''silver Republican" party was
organized, and that the work of this
organization will be to push new man
TO the front to displace Bryan as the
leader of the silver movement.

there is campaign this fall refusing to
accede to the demand for the support of

thing for this country, but 1 don't know
Thus spoke Ex-Governor Davis H.
Waite, of Colorado, yesterday during
converse ton with reporter. Governor
Waite is the guest of T. E. Palmer
While waiting in Kansas City for some
, thing to turn up.
I have lost faith continued the
governor, lin the belief that partisan
politics can bring about any remedy for
the ills from which the country is Suf
fering. The Democratic party has dem
Onstrated that it is unequal to the task.
The Republican party cannot do 1t, and
the POpuHst party as managed at pres
ent, cannot accomplish what the other
two parties have failed to do I am go
ing down to Texas and see if cannot
cause some of the hOmeseekers to locate
in what 1 believe is the garden spot
of the country for fruit raising. I shall
leave the city in a few days, possibly
by the end of this week"
Then the governor switched off into
politics.
I was formerly a Republican" he
said, Il became imbUed with the belief
that free coinage of silver was the only
remedy for existing industrial cOndi-
tions. I allied myself with the Popnlist
party because that was the only ma
tional party which stood squarely on
that issue. The sO-caIled Populists of
Colorado were not really Populists. They
were only free silver men. They sup
ported Bryan and Sewall while 1 sup
ported Bryan and Watson, believing
that the only consistent thing for a
Populist to do was to vote his ticket 1
have become dissatisfied with the man
agement of the Populist party and am
done with politics forever. I shall never
be a candidate for any office. I never
sought the gOVernorship, and when I
was elected by the free silver vote al
most every act l did was opposed by
men who called themselves Populists,
especially if il was aimed at corpora
tiOns.
There must be change in the finan-
cIal policy of the country before there
can be any prosperity. While produc-
ton is carried on at a loss it is folly to
talk of too much money. A man who
talks that way is a id fool. There is
no argument about it. I believe in a
measure of protection. I don't believe
it is good business sense for US to raise
cotton, ship it to England and then buy
it back in the shape of cloth. On the
other hand, I don't believe it is good
business sense to enrich a few at the
expense of the many. I believe the
financial question will be the issue of
the next campaign. 1 hope Mr. Bryan
will be renOminated, but I don't know
whether he will or not I don't see that
the cause of free silver is making any
progress at present, nor do I believe
that a Repu blican protection measure
will bring good times. I don't see any
evidences of any general good times
though there are sections of the cOun-
try where times have undoubtedly i'm

FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Guy Baker of Holton is Arrested by
Topeka Police.

At Circleville. ten miles from Holton,
on Saturday night a young barber was
held up and robbed of a gold watch and
S. in money. Suspicion rested on two
young men of Holton and descriptions
were sent to the Topeka police depart
ment and the sheriff of Jackson county
yesterday came to Topeka and furnished
a photograph of a young Holton man for
whom he had warrant.
Today Sergeant Owen went to the
Crawford flats where the young man was
staying with relatives His name is Guy
Baker and his age is 20 years. When the
warrant was read to him charging him
with the highway robbery he was much
confused and protested that there was
mistake He was taken to the city jail
and this afternoon was taken to Holton
by the sheriff of Jackson county.
There is another Holton man now I'M
der arrest for the same charge. Baker
is a nephew of DOC" Page, the photo
grapher- At the city jail he said to a
reporter: 4 don't know anything about
that robbery. Why the sheriff lives
across the street from me, and here he
had to lock me in Jail. Three big police
men came down after me like I was a
desperate. This is the first time 1 was
ever in jail, and I wouldn't mind it IL it
wasn't for my folks. But I'll be free
