said, but I have heard so much about 1t from the 165 nures under my tuition that I feel as well acquainted with it's charac- ters as though had read it. From what I can judge of the minute descriptions that have been given me of Glory Quale and Polly Love, and indeed the entire portion of the book which exploits hospital life and trained nures, I feel justified in say ing that 1t is a gross misrepresentation and an insult, not only to the members of my profession in England fbut in America as we'll. l know little about the English training schools except that it is from them we have received all our plans and ideas have, reason to believe, however, that the rule which govern entry into an English hospital are quite as stringent as those of our American institutions. If such Is the case 1t would be well-nigh inn possible for a girl of either Gsory's or Polly's cahber to even become a proba- tloner in the most lax and liberal hospital in Great Britain. One thing is certain, neither of them would ever see the interior of a ward in the Cook County hospital in the capacity of a pupil"
 Miss Katherine Hewitt, superintendent of the Maurice Porter Memorial hospital for Children, is an English woman born and bred, and English hospital life is as familiar to her as American.
 ''I do not like The Christian,'" said Miss Hewitt, flor many reasons. l not only feel resentful toward its author for
 the manner Tn WflacE ne ndS tredteu my
 own profession, but I don't like Father Storms religion. The whole book appears to me to be strained and unnatural in it's pessimism. This fact alone is strong enough in my mind to stamp the portrait ure of Glory Quale in the role of a trained nurse as spurious. Ut would be more possible for the traditional camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a girl of either Glorys or Polly's mental
 and moral attachments to enter an English hospital let alone an American institution Hall Caine knows absolutely nothing about the routine of English hospitals or he wouIdl never have written some DOT tions of The Christian as he did He IS altogether at variance with the truth III every detail concerning that subject, ana such misrepreE1entatfon cannot but have a tendency to cast discredit on the profession generally"

speaker get upon the stand and Iaud
to the skies the government that tor
years he has been characterzlng as
the rottenest organization on the
face of the earth, stigmatizing all
its public men as thieves, robbers
and tyrants; in league with the
money power and the devil. We
think the change very desirable.
They tried sort of prophetic cam
paign two years ago and painted in
the most vivid colors the dire ca
lamities and fearful misfortunes that
would overtake us as a people if we
failed to elect their Billy. Corn
would sell for ten cents per bushel
and wheat for twenty-five cents and
all other farm products in proper
ton, and failures and business ca
amites without end would be our
lot. Mckinley was elected and
their predictions proved false, very
much to their disgust and dissap-
pointment. Senator Harris has
made a good representative in the
senate of our great state, and is de-
serving of commentator for the
manly way in which he has stood by
the administration in all measures
for a vigorous prosecution of the
war. Now if he can just get his po-
litical allies to step up on a little
higher plane of political thought he

1t begins to look as though the
democrats, rightly so called, OF
Kansas are going to have a ticket OF
their own to vote for. At least
half a dozen democratic papers
have repudiated the action of the
party at Atchison, and are declar-
ing for ticket This kind of work
on their part would be highly com =
mendable, but of course it would
amount to nothing save to give men
who refuse to endorse populism a
ticket to vote for. There would
probably be a few thousand votes
cast for it, but in nearly all the
counties it would be scattering
To be sure, there is principle in
volved in it, and if there are but
thousand genuine democrats left in
Kansas, it is right and proper that
they be allowed to cast their votes
as they want to cast them. 1t VIII,
however, be Of more detriment to
the republican party than to the
populiSt, for the democrats who are
bitter against the latter will, if they
have no ticket of their own, cas-
their votes with the republicans
rather than go to the party that has
betrayed them, Take such men as
Barney Sheridan, for instance, and
while he has no use whatever for
the republican party, yet he recog
nizes the fact that it is model of
political virtue when compared
to populism. He and his friends
will not vote the populist ticket, and
there is not sugar enough owned by
the trust to coat it over sufficiently
to make them swallow it.-Law

ERRONEOUS VIEWS.

The thoughtless talk that has
been INDUCED in by many people,
nd even Numbered forth by would
be politicians from the stump,
"that the rich are getting richer in
this country and the poor are get
ting poorer" mas been accepted By
many of the unthinking as fact
and as consequence thereof many
an honest man has felt a spirit of
discomfort growing in his breast and
his Jealousy of his wealthy neigh
Dor gradually intensifying into hat
red.
Many Of our strongest political
convictions are formed thus by &C
cepting as facts false statements
from those whom we expect to be
posted in such matters. Many
times errors are innocently put forth
by our would be leaders and fire.
quently they are circulated simply
to mislead the ordinary voter.
During the three or four years of
hard times we have passed through,
we were told by politicians that the
great cause of the depression was
the small amount of money per cap
lta in this country That we had
not money to carry on the business
demanded. These theories were
reiterated and repeated till many of
US begun to think we were fearfully
oppressed by the authorities with
holding from the people legitimate
amount of money and that this
shortage was the cause of much of
our suffering, in fact was the foun-
dation of all our ills.
We now see how wrong these
theories were.
A year and half Of Republican
rule has been sufficient to demon
strate the absolute falsity of the as
sumption that we have not enough
money in this country. We don't
hear the street corner politician any
longer in stentorian tones demand
ing greater fper capiter." MOI
do we find our papers filed up by
clamors for more money. We find
the banks all over the country over
run with money and scheming in
every way to get it invested so that
it may bring them in some returns.
This theory of want of circulating
medium has been forever exploded.
Likewise will be the other idea thai

we study into the facts of the case -.
Below are some savings bank sta
tistics that would indicate an in
crease of wealth among the poorer
people during the last decade that
is very creditable; In the year 1860
there were in the United States
693, $40 depositors in savings banks,
with deposits of STAG, 2775o4, or
an average of s2I5.I3 to cath de-
positor. In 1897 the depositors
had increased to 5,2o1,I32, the de-
posts to S1,949,376,o35, and the
average to S372.8S. The figures re-
flute the idea that the mass of Amer
leans are growing poorer.

We notice in the last issue of the
Blade little light talk on the price
of wheat. 1t seems to worry oui
Populist friends that they can't
keep wheat and silver together any
better. The labored arguments
they INDUCED in during the last
campaign to show that silver dol
lar always had been and always
would be worth bushel of wheat,
got all knocked in the head by the
events Immediately following the
election of Mckinley. 1t seems
rather a difficult matter now for
them to determine just where the
trouble is, whether silver has become
somewhat light headed or wheat
has become cratic. Never mind boys
the whole thing reminds us of the
old woman's clock that hung on the
wall, the "blasted" old thing hadn't
run for twenty years, still, /; showed
the correct dinner hour every day.
Silver and wheat sometimes run
close together and your arguments
are nearer right than the Pop asser-
tions on the other lines for they are
never right. How about it anyway
Would it not be in order now to pull
out that pyramid for awhile that
you campaigned with two years ago
that showed the inhexible, unChange-
able immutable law of relationship
between silver and wheat1 The
thing is a little sque -waughed
now, but not moreso than this same
relationship has been for some time.
Now say Brother Roe, the Repub-
licans never did claim that it was
possible for the government or even
Mark Hanna, that stalwart Republic
can you all love so well, to create
and maintain prices. 1t is the Pops
that claim it is one of the prerOg-
atives of government to see that
every man has plenty whether he
works for it or not. The Republi-
cans have claimed that good pro-
tective reciprocity policy always has
employed labor, thereby giving the
laboring men the wherewith to buy
farm products as well as various
manufactured articles they may need
thus establishing a much larger
home market, and consequently
better prices. And the beauty of
the thing is the history of our coun-
try, from its first organization shows
that the claims of the party are
thoroughly established by facts. 1t
is a matter of history that all of the
most prosperous times of this coun-
try, when not greatly influenced by
home or foreign wars, have been
under protective tariff laws and all
the dull and panicy periods have
been under free trade or tariff for
revenue only laws. If you would
only spend your time looking up the
history of your country and tracing
the relationship between hard times,
unemployed labor and apparent
scarcity of money and Democratic
tariff for revenue only laws, it
would be productive of better re-
suits than in trying to patch up AID
establish a theory that has long
been exploded and is of no earthly
moment any way. The great law of
supply and demand is the main fact
or, after all. That is genuine good
old Republican doctrine, and we
were very much gratifed to see our
good Populist friends explaining the
gooi prices of wheat last winter
on that ground, although two years
ago they hooted at the idea.
