The much abused and ridiculed
Populist demand for the public
ownership Of public utilities has
taken deep root in the Republican
cities Of Kansas. Last weeks Mail
and Breeze has the following
significant statement: "There are
iorty-three waterworks plants owned
by the towns in which they are
located, and forty,four owned BY
private corporations, in Kansas" "
President Mckinley also favors
legislation by congress for the com
pletion Of the Nicaraguan canal and
making it the direct property o
the government. Public sentimen
nodded by Populist theories force
the Republican party to adopt som'
measures for the public good.

A correspondent Of the Topeka
Capital from Minneapolis, Kansas,
starts out by saying: "The Demo

this county met in this city yester-

used to write it "Populist annex to
the Democratic party" How things

Section 2, article II Of the state
constitution is as follows:
"The legislature shall provide for
taxing the notes and bills discounted
or purchased, moneys loaned, and
other property effects, or dues Of
every description, without dsduction)
of all banks now existing, or hereafter
to be created, and of all bankers; SO
that all property employed 10 banking
shall always bear burden of taxation
equal to that imposed upon the prop
erty of individuals "
Members Of the legislature are
sworn to support tae constitution,
yet, in direct violation Of that oath,
the Republican legislature of 1876
passed, and the Republican governor
approved the following Jaw, found 10
the laws of 1876:
THAT il any portion Of the capital
stock of any bank association, loan or
investment company, shal be invested
10 real estate and said corporation
shall hold title in fee si0ple there
to, the assessed value OF said real
estate shall be deducted from the
original assessment Of the paid up
capital stock OF said corporation, and
said real estate shall be assessed as
other lands or lots" =
every private bank, banker, bro
ker, building and loan and trHst as
sOciation shall list and return the
average amount Of capital invested in
such business during the year ending
on the first day of March next pre-
ceding the time required for listing
personal property
Taking advantage Of the provisions
Of that law, the bankers Of this state
pay no taxes on notes and bills dis
counted or on moneys loaned, and
after deducting the value of real
estate owned, from the capital stock,
they pay but very little tax.
The farmer, whose homestead is
mortgaged for one-half its value. pays
tax on the property purchased with
the money received from the mort
gage, and also pays full tax on his
farm, though in reality, he owns but
a half interest in the same.
Pepulists introduced bills to correct
these evils but the Republican mem

farmers. from double and treble
taxation and also opposed all bills in-

their iust portion OF tax as required
by the constitution.
While the bankers Of Kansas reap
practically all the interest on personal
loans. amounting to millions OF dol.
lars annually, yet they pay no tax on
these loans.
The farmers Of this state not having
paid lobbyists TO work for their inter.

their votes for only such candidates

Making Our Flag.

One may pay anything from one
cent to $3.50 for flag of the United
States. The latter price will buy q
beautiful silk flag, l2x18 feet in size.
The cheapest flags are stamped on
muslin with the colors red and blue,
and are then tackled or pasted upon
sticks; they are not guaranteed to
wash. OF this kind is the little penny
flag which the small boy wears on the
lapel Of his coat. Such flags are put
through printing press like calico
shirts and come out all colored at the
ate OF 100 a minute. Girls then. snip
them apart with sharp shears and glue
them to small sticks hardly bigger
than matches. The best flags have
canvas band sewn along the back,
through which rope may be run for
fastening them to the pole tackle.
Anybody is at liberty to make
United States flags. Thus it comes
about that all sorts Of patterns Of the
national ensign are on the market and

An Affettionate Cat.

There are many who would say that
cats feel no genuine affection even for
those who have treated them kindly.
But, in my Judgment, says a writer in
Our Animal Friends, this opinion is
erroneous. An incident in my own
life proves to my own satisfaction that
cats do love those who treat them
kindly, and that in no small degree.
At about six or seven years of age
came into the possession of a gray
kitten, which soon became treasure
TO me. / looked after "Tom" my
SELF gave him his meals regularly
something, too, very often between
meals-and lavished upon him all the
affection / could. Very soon he
showed an affection for me which he
bore to no other member of the
family; in fact, on more than one &C.
casion he ran away from my brother,
who was rather given to teasing him,
aud came to me for protection.
l used to smuggle Tom to bed with
me and hide him under the blankets
until l was satisfied no one would
come near me again for the night.
Then would / drag him forth in
triumph from his hiding place and hug
him closely to my breast. Tom show
ing his appreciation by purring loudly
aud diligently rubbing my neck and
chin with his soft cheek. To my sor.
row it was only once in long while
that 1 was allowed this pleasure, as
very often my mother in her final look
at me for the night would spy my ret
or hear him purr, and then Tom
would be banished from the room.
Sometimes, when particularly anx-
ious to be with me, he found way to
manage it, During the night, if the
window was not open, he forced his
way through pane Of glass, and /
awoke to find him nesting on the pill
low beside my cheek. This NAV sound
incredible, bat il is nevertheless true,
and l think that Tom must have felt a
deep love for me, or he would not
have been so eager to be with me.
OF course he did not do this sort of
thing regularly, but l remember sew
eral occasions on which he did so.
Every morning he visited me before I
was out Of bed, aud we generally had
our breakfast together.
The school / attended was distant
about two miles. At first, though
10th to leave Tom behind, il never
occurred to me to take him with me.
But after time he sometimes accom-
panied me, either sitting on my
shoulders or in my arms or running
along by my side. During school
hours he remained close by, outside
In the woods, At intermission I
sought him out, and during the din
ner hour let him share my lunch.
When school was over he accompanied
me home. But he had not the oppor-.
tnnity OF doing this very long, because
when was about ten years old / was
sent to school about twenty miles
away, aud then saw Tom on " about
once in three months.
