An Evidence Of Patriotism.

Rt. Rev. John S. Michaud, coadjutor
bishop of Burlington, has written letter
to Hon. Red6eld Proctor, offering priest
to the service of the army and navy, as
chaplain, to which Senator Proctor re-
piled that he is informed by the secretary
of the navy that there will be no vacancy
in the regular force. in the natural order
till fall. Senator Proctor believes the
Catholic church should have its full share
in army and navy and will be glad to do
anything to that end.

 STOCKINGS FOR SHOPLIFTERS.

Stockings are used by shoplifters as re- ,eptaces for storing their plumber while n the big stores. The stocking is long, lnd is supplied with a clasp similar to hose seen on purses.

BOOM DEBTS OUTLAWED.
The Reason Why Few Bankruptcy Pc
 tions Were Filed in Kansas.

Topeka. Kas.. Sept. 4.-Only twenty-one bankruptcy petitions have been filed ir Kansas so far. q thought at least o0E 1eople would take advantage of the law within thirty days" said MT. George F. Sharitt, clerk of the United States dis -rict court. "but I find that the great majority of boom debts and judgments nave been outlawed. This explains the act that up to this time but twenty-one petitions have beer filed in the state, as 1utlawed debts are just as dead as they would be after passing through the ,ankruptcy court. Eastern people who oaned money in Kansas during the boom lays have become discouraged at the prospect of ever getting it back and have allowed judgments to die If the law had heen passed a few years aso there are hundreds of people in the state who would have taken addvantase Of it. A lew more petitions may be filed from tiIae to time. but I believe the bulk o1 he petitions is represented by the twer- iy-one already fled

TO REPAIR THE wARsHIps.
No Considerable Reduction in Mum.
 Der Probable Now.

Washington, Sept 5.-1t is not the make any considerable reduction in tine number of ships on the commits stoned list at this time Aside from tine questionable prudence of reducing the effectiveness of our naval strength ir advance of a satisfactory outcome of the peace commissions work at Paris, the department is desirous of using the time now available to make many changes in the ships that we're demonstrated to be necessary by the c,.lended service most of them have seen. So they will be gathered at the navy yards and put in the most thor ough repair, one after the ether being docked, cleaned and painted. so that in the course of a few weeks it is hoped 10 lave the navy in even better shape than it was at the outbreak of war
 The navy department has been fur rished with new form Of honorable discharge from the navy for use ir case of inc men serving on the auxil- iary fleet. It differs little from the regular form Of discharge except ii' it's decoration, which consists of small ie1gravings of an old type monitor, a converted yacht, and a commerce de- IstIoyer oi the Yosemite type, the three classes of vessels on which the naval reserve men were called to serve.
 The navy department has decided to adopt the policy of mastering out the naval militia in bodies, instead Of in iividually. as heretofore. This will oe
 men on the Yankee, now at New York
 ard in al' ether cases hereafter. Act. | ing Secretary Allen believes that the
 militiaiIen will be better pleased to go 1 to their homes fn bodies, where they
 may be met by their people and greet ed publicly. The navy department is highly araiified at the splendid service
 rendered by these men. Just before tie battle of July sixty Chicago mi litiamen were placed on the battleshiI l Oregon, ard the reports that come tc i the department all speak in the high es. terms Of their ability. So we'll haf they been drilled in instances that new men were turned over to the militia men to be instructed in their duties 1 The militiamen were also on the i best of terms with the enlisted meT
 aboard the ship, aud the latter mani fcsted thair appreciation of the goo6
 qualities Of the Chicago boys by cheer { ing heartily for them as they were
 gathered to be mustered.
 The depar!men is not able to pro

 matter of mastering out the militia
 mcn, owing to the necessity Of retain
 ing sufficient body of sailors to mar i the ships.

UNWILLING TO RISK IT.

Tampa. Fla, Sept 4.-There was a slight change in affairs yesterday at quarantine Passengers from Key West have been allowed to come into the city when they bore the proper immune Cer- tificates. Yesterday when the Mascotte touched the dock at Port Tampa there were number of passengers on board who had been taken off at Egmont, they having served their term of detention. There was also a large number of i'm munes. When they began disembark- ing it was found that a new order from the board of health prohibited innlunes from landing, well the ron-im- InUnes. All were required to return to the detention camp and remain the nec- esssry length of time. This was a great t surprise, and the change was not known until the passengers were met at the gang-plank. It is regarded that the state hoard of health looks seriously upon the Key West situation, and is unwilling to take any chances now.

Propaganda Methods.

When you want to convert a neigh
Dor to Populism, don't go up to him
and shake your fist under his nose and
call him lop-eared, gimlet-eyed,
whopper-ja son of sin. 49,
The average of all parties is an
honest man. He believes that he is
right and that you are wrong. The
best way to convince Republican is
to place Populist literature in his
hands, and ask of him as a personal
favor to yourself that he should open
your eyes to the truth or falsity of
your political principles and when he
comes to you after reading, and enters
a protest do not then try to argue with
him, let him have his say, but just
keep loading him up with the truth as
you see it, and If he is not too narrow
between the eyes you may expect re-
suits inside of year. Your victim
cannot get up a wordy war with
Populist paper; he may at first curse
the Internal rag as an anarchist pub
LEGATION, but right down in his gizzard
he will be digesting the solid truths
Of Populism, against which he can
bring no logical argument to prove
their falsity. Just handle the con-
vert gently, and he will soon become
according to his temperament holy
white eyed terror to his former party
sociates.-Exchange. "'i

No Longer a Theory.

Direct legislation is no longer the
DRY to be considered at some future
time, but has come up before the peo-
pie to be settled. Shall we have a
government by the people and for the
people, or government by and for
the money changers? Delegated gov
eminent has proven failure, and we
should assert our right to have voice
in the management Of the government
Under the present system we elect a
man to legislative Office, and then he
will not do a thing that he is in
structed by his constituency to do, and
the bigger rascal he is the more chance
he stands for reelection. Under the in
itiative and referendum the people
could have just such laws as they
wanted. There would be no power
above the people. You will not have
to give up your other ideas for this
one. If you are free silver Demo-
crat you can continue so to be. If you
are a gold standard advocate and be-
lieve that a majority of the people
want recommendation, you cannot OBJ
ject to this principle.-Legal Tender.

Failures Increase,

Though no mention is made in tho
leading dailies about the alarming in
crease in failures since the Inaugural
ton of Mckinley, the fact still exists
that we are in the midst of cyclone
Of financial and business destruction.
Bradstreet and Dun both are keeping
tab on the conditions, and their re-
ports show that during the past week
there were forty-six more failures
than were reported for the same week
last year. Not a paper comes from
the press but shows a general crash
in business houses all over the coun-
try. Their frequency has, to a large
extent, allayed alarm, and vampire
like, lulled the people into quiet, while
the work of destruction is augmented
with each succeeding day.-Dallas

The Corporations Control.

The railroads are making a great
deal of trouble over the bill now be-
fore the senate increasing the powers
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. The railway lobbyists oppose
giving the commission more power on
general principles. 1t is now under
the absolute control of the corpora
tons, so that if the bill became law
the immediate effects would not be
very embarrassing to the railways.
But the dread of the corporations is
that their present control will slip
away from them, in which event it
would be very inconvenient to have
such law as the one proposed on the
statute books. One of the provisions
is to do away with the long and short
haul clause and give the commission
power to establish arbitrarily such
regulations as it may deem fit in the
adjustment of rates to existing cir
cumstances and distances. However,
as we have said, the corporations are
opposed to giving the commission any
more power, SO that, unless this atti-
tude is changed, the bill will be de-
feated. This is to be regretted, be-
cause the only prospect we have Of
government ownership of railways is
through the enlargement of the pow
ers and functions of the interstate
commerce commission. - Twentieth

Dear Money and Cheap Labor.

What Is the reason that 50-cent
dollar is not just as good for a money
lender as 5O-cent wheat for the farmer.
Two hundred cent dollars for the lend
er would be all right providing wheat
and a days work were two hundred
cents each. The trouble is you can't
raise the standard of the dollar with
out lowering the standard Of labor
and all property. No one denies that
a lump Of gold will buy more any,
where in the world than it ever would
before, while at the same time lump
of silver will buy just about as much
