CHINAMEN POOR HUSBANDS.
EnEiish Girls In Shanghai Who Wed
h~onEollnns Always Have
Cause to neRrc u.

y Nancouve dispatch gives currency
to certain scandalous stories current
in Shanghai, by which English girls are
represented rs having formed the hab-
it OF marrying Chinese young men at
tached to the legation in that city.
There might be no great harm in the
marriage of n Chinese man to n Cau-
casian woman II the Monaghan could
be educated up TO the Caucasian matri-
monial standard. But the complaint
that comes from Shanghai is that the
Chinese cling with great ~pertinacity
10 their Monaghan view OF the mar
riage state. If the wife rebslled at This
view of the marriage relation the Chi
nese husband would lock her IN and
when opportunity offered, sell her. An
infusion o. English blood in II matri-
moninl form does not seem to have
much influence upon the customs OF
the country. The English wives. SEN
sitive as to the shame OF the lives they
were forced 10 lead, would make no
complaints TO relatives in England. In
most cases the marriage had been en-
tered into in spite OF the protests Of
parents, n circumstance which tended
TO silence complaints that would other
wise have been made. There is album
dant ground for the conclusion that
the average Chinese does not become
n good Christian until the third or
fourth generation.

What Populists f1ave Done.

Some Republicans ask, What has
the Populist party done for Kansas
This is Legitimate question, and
should be honestly answered.
One branch Of the legislature was
controlled by the Populists in 1891,
1893 and 1895.
In 1897 the Populists controlled
both branches, and prior to that time
most measures passed by the Popu-
lists were defeated by the Repub-
licans.
Among many important measures
passed by the Populists are the fol.
lowing laws:
The redemption law that gives the
farmets eighteen months in which to
redeem their land after sale under
execution.
The Australian ballot law that en-.
ables the employe to cast his vote
without coercion from his employer.
The law that requires candidates
to report their campaign expenses
and prevents them from using money
for corrupt purposes In elections.
The banking law for the protec-
ton Of depositors.
The jury trial in cases Of contempt
of court that takes from corrupt
judges the power to arbitrarily inn
prison citizens without a trial BY
jury.
A law to prevent blacklisting Of
employees by corporations which pre-.
vented them from obtaining labor.
A law preventing the importation
Of armed forces to coerce laborers in
this state.
A law reducing the fees and salar>
les Of county officials which saves to
the people Of Sumner county alone
not less than $4,000.
A law fixing the liabilities of in.
surance companies which compels
them to pay actual losses.
A school text book law that will
save to the people Of this state from
100000 to 100000 annually.
A stock yard law that On the
volume OF business transacted at
the Kansas City stock yards alone in
1896 would have saved to the people
Of Kansas $646,55S.
Republican speakers and papers
make light Of those laws and en-
courage corporations to violate the
same.

The VOICE has had little to saw
about the proposition to build a Jail.
The statement ofthe case by County
Attorney Rogers, printed in las,
weeks Voice, was very conclusive.
1t does seem that the people have
put up with the old Jail as long as
they possibly can. We have reached
the point where it will be real econ.
omy to build Jail. And it is
possible that time will never come
again when we can build it and feel
he expense so lightly as now. The
money is already on hand-no bonds
are proposed-the cash is lying in
the treasury drawing no interest.
Ii it were put into new Jail it would
save the county many expense bills
and supply a need that sooner or
latter must be met.
