y GANG of republican politicians in
and around Topeka, a short time ago,
GOT up an injunction against a jointist
and served subpOenaS on several of the
state officers and appointees under the
administration. The case was gotten
up weak puIposely so that it would
never come to trial and hence the men
on whom the subpOenaS were served
did not get an opportunity to testify that
they knew nothing about the matter.
When the case was called for trialJudge
Hazen, even though republican, ad-
mlnistered we'll wOrded roast to tie
fellows who inaugurated the scheme
and dismissed the action. The object
OF the politicians who begun the tom
foolery was to prejudice the temper
ance people against the Populist adj
ministration out it failed in it's pur.
pose.

THE FUNCTION OF HONEST MONEY.

Probably no expression in modern
languages is moe misapplied than that
of "hOnest money" In accurate speech
there is no such thing as honest money
or dishonest money. The powers that
regulate the values Of the various forms
of money are the ones to which these
terms should be applied. But under
the generally accepted sense of the ia
miliar observation-disclosures money!
there are too many people who are eth
er ignorant or Indifferent as to its prop
er function. 1t is agreed that the func-
ton of money is To effect exchange of
products and faciiitate>c This
must be done one of two ways: it must
be done with equal justice to the par
ties interested in the transactions or it
must be done 10 the advantage of some
and to the disadvantage of others. If,
then, these exchanges are made on the
former plan, we can consistently claim
that we have an honest financial sys-
TEN; but if they are made on the latter
plan, we must concede that the system
honesty or dishonesty, can be applied to
money with propriety, we have no hest
fancy in saying that at the present
time the money of the country is decid
eddy dishonest. There has been, proba
bly,, no time in history when products
were exchanged so unequally as they
are now. They go from the producer
without the least appearance of an ad
equate return, but yet they do not reach
the consumer at the same price nor
scarcely for double the original pur-
chase price. There is an intermediate
agency which handles all articles of
commerce. 1t absorbs from the pro-
Queer, eXacts from the consumer, and
all this is done with money some are
prone to call honest. Nothing is hon
est that does not deal justly among the
people. Nothing is honest that dis
eliminates between and Classics PEG
pie, and for this reason the American
people cannot clam that their money
matters are honest, and much less those
who are responsible for the system.

The United States postal system is a
great success, and yet there are great
many useless and extravagant things
connected with it. The principal draw
back is the outrageous price paid to
railroad companies for transporting
the mails. But for this postage would
be cheaper even than it is today. But
Notwithstanding the fact that the pos
tai system is not altogether perfect, the
people are farlng much better under
public ownership of the postofHces than
they would under private ownership.
Query: If government ownership of
the postal system is success, why
would not government ownership of
other public institutions also be sue
cessful.

II is common among people who
know absolutely nothing about the
business, to say that this one and that
one hasn't brains sufficient to manage
newspaper; and 1t is a fact worthy of
notice that those who are the loudest
in Offering this criticism couldn't write
an average 10-yeasold school boy es-
say, if put to the test. Whenever you
see one of these would be critics point
ing to his fellow-citizen with the ex-

THERE is no reason why the Populists
should not win complete victory III
Kansas tins year. All that is necessary
is firm stand for the principles we
profess TO represent. The republican
party has started in this early IN the
campaign on the theory that to obtain
the spotls is the only object in view.
On the contrary the Popullsts have
record behind them showing that they
have done more real good service for
the people of the state than any ad-
ministratlon We have ever had. All
that is necessary for Populists to do to
succeed is to drop jealousies, deal fair
~ in conventions and work together
unitedly and harmoniusly. The voters
will do the rest.

WHY is it that in determining the
reasonableness of rates charged the
public by corporations the courts figure
in all liabilities in the corporate CAPT
talizatioD? Should the public be re-
sponsible for watered stock, high salar-
led and useless officials and gross mis-
management? If it is reasonable that
the patrons of public concern should
pay for AL these things we would hum
bly, ask what constitutes anything un-
reasonable. If the former proposition
is granted, the latter has not yet been
defined

ONE of the most recent outrages or
ignated by congress is joint resolu-
ton to extend the term of a
congressman TO four years. Every
member of congress who votes for that
measure will put himself on record as
selfish aud dishonest. Long terms of
Office invite falthlessness and corrup-
tion in Office. Long terms beget Doodle.
1t misses one in a hundred but the
rule generally holds good. Two years
is long enough for a congressman to be
out of the reach of the people. Six
years is too long for senator
