1T IS HELL.

Gold is the god of the New Yorker
Because Kansas refused to WORSHIP
the New Workers god, in holding thai
many other things are as good as gold
that the sweat and blood of toll should
be considered as Of some value, the
New York papers have for months de-
rided Kansas and scorned its people.
These writer's have exhausted their vo-
cabularies of invective for epithets with
which TO belittle an honest, enterpris-
ing and progressive people. They have.
in the interest Of their god, slurred and
slammed, spit upon and execrated the
very name of the state in their endeav-
ors to discredit and cripple it, and all
because Republican Kansas would not
fall down and worship the golden stand
ard erected by New York, by its depend
encies and constituencies. To a New
Yorker the objectionable sin is the ina
5ility to pay a debt, the highest mark
of distinction and greatest honor the
possession Of gold. No matter how the
gold is obtained, its possession is the
one indispensable requisite TO church or
state, 10 society and to every exception
al circle. The want Of it iS-hell. III
New York the other day, man named
William Fem was thrown into prison
for debt. These worshippers OF gold
who have such a barbaric law in their
statutes yet point TO Kansas as want
ing in intelligence and progressiveness.
This man, says the World, whose sole
offense is that he owes money which he
cannot pay, was thrown into prison.
where he lay until he could get bond
into Pennsylvania TO get work to dis
charge his obligation. His time elapsed
and the bond being insufficient to dis
charge the debt, he was arrested,
put in irons and taken back to New
York and thrown again into prison,
where he still lies, unable to pay, una
BILE to get out. Habeas corpus proceed
ings being resorted to, Judge Beekman
held that the outrage was regular and |
legal, and that he must remain helpless, |
a doomed felon, until his creditor was |
satisfied. This is no romance, but an |
actual fact, a hideOus wrong and relic |
of barbarism practiSed under the laws /
of people who criticise the intelligence |
and honesty of the people of Kansas.
Gold is said to be the root of all evil. |
In New York it is the trunk and branch |
also, and the entire plan of salvation.
women, the value of their virgin daugh-
tiers, the worth of their preachers, and
all, are measured by money, and still
these pirate about Kansas honor. With
gold their city government can be
bought, and often is, outright; by it
their state legislatures are debauched, |
and its highest courts commanded, and
get their journals and statesmen, their
financiers and politicians, all. howl over
The degeneracy of a people who have set
The pace for nearly every progressive
step taken by the country in the past
quarter Of century. The question in
New York is not what is he as a man,
but what as a man is he worth in
money. Is it any wonder that the "Or-
ator of the Platte" that man from the
free, wide prairies of the west got up
wards of six millions of votes in No
Vember by simply holding that Gold is
not God?

NIAGARA'S POWER PLANTS.

d
Niagara Falls will go into history as
one of the notable events of the nine
tenth century. 1t is the realization OF
a dream long contemplated by thou.
sands who have visited the great cata.
ract, but commonly held as impractica-
BILE and beyond the limit of mans in
genuity. 1t finally comes around, how,
ever, and with it the twin conception of
| transmitting power TO distant manu-
featuring centers. 1t may be debated
which is the greater conception of the
two, but the substantial reality of al
most unlimited motive power as the re-
suit is not debatable.
The extent of this great power, now
developed and being applied to practi-
cal use, is known to but few readers
who have made casual observances of
the work during its progress. The
combined power ready for use, includ-
ing the Niagara Falls Power company's
plant, the Niagara Falls Power and
Manufacturing company, both on the
American side, and the Canadian Nj
asara Power company's tunnel, is 75O,-
600 horse power. When by comparison
it is shown that the city of Chicago
uses for all electric lighting purposes
only 300 horse power, and that the
total water power of the great manu-
featuring city of Lowell, Mass, is less
than 1900 horse power, and that the
total steam engine power of the United
States, for all manufacturing purposes,
is about 100000 horse power. it will be
seen, by comparison, that Niagara is
already equipped to supply all possible
demands for years TO come. Taking
the whole volume of water pouring In
endless torrent over the Falls. as meas
ured by the volume conducted into the
canals and tunnels just completed. it
shows an aggregate capacity Of $780,
600 horse power.
On this showing it would seem that
the cities of Niagara Falls. Tonowanda,
Buffalo and Rochester are comfortably
fixed with motive power for some time
to come. Under average conditions of
prosperity the Niagara river frontage
should, in time, show up great smoke
less manufacturing city. Speaking by
the card, this could be depended on if
capitalists there had the nerve and en-
terprise of the west. The spirit, cour-
age and heroism of the pioneer who bat
ties the impediments of frontier life
would count it a picnic to harness his
mill, his forge or his prOpelling motor
to the great dynamos which buzz their
never ending response to the rushing
torrent against the great turbine wheels
at the entrance of Niagara's famous
tunnel.
There are complaints that these power !
companies are eIacting rates for power |
which manufacturers refuse to pay. II |
this be true they may kill the goose |
which lays their golden egg. Surely |
this great reservoir of motive power |
should not be hampered by the exac- |
tons of corporate greed. If it is, the |
public should give them a rest.
