two and one-half millions in cash. an
amount rather less than the known ope-
rations of the week had prepared the
street to expect.
The wholesale liquidation which has
been in evidence for some days past is re-
Elected in a contraction of SIT SCI, 500 in
loans and a coincident reduction of 500
$4,000 in deposits. The shrinkage in the
latter item lowering, as 1t did, the re-
serve liability by % per cent, released
more than S5,000,000 in cash and explains
why, with money still flowing into the
treasury and to the West, the banks are
able to end the week in stronger posi-
ton from a cash standpoint than they
began it.
In the past three weeks the decrease in
loans has been no less than 81 millions
while deposits have been reduced more
than 80 millions. In the same time there
has been loss in cash of S19, 600. 600. The
latter item explains the drift of banking
operations very well, for it is known that
the loss of specie and legals to the inte-
rior has not been as heavy as the figures
given above indicate The money has
flown in large part into the treasury and
1t has been this constant drain that has
necessitated the policy of liquidation to
maintain reserves. AS bearing on this
point the completed totals of the New
York national banks, as given in their
official statements of Sept Z, show that
between June 80 and the first week in
September country bank balances here
were reduced only four millions, whereas
the contraction in other deposits was
about $14000,000. In the time intervening
between the two official statements the
national banks lost 7,oO0,0 900 in specie and
legals. The movement to the interior
since Sept. has been a little more active,
but nothing in comparison to the loss in
cash sustained by the banks this month

other against a man whose name is

Teeth, the demure maiden whose striking
pose and bewitching eyes have captivated
everybody who has visited Marshal

Drive the Travelling Faklrs Out Of Town.

Almost daily Of late some fakir has
placed his wagon or his box on
some corner, and with torch light and
some other attraction to draw the crowd
sells his wares consisting Of variety Of
things such as can be found in many
stores In the city, handkerchiefs,
shoe strings, rugs, jewelry, etc. etc.
These men are known to be frauds. They
in no way help to keep up the city as do
the business men whose trade they take.
Their prices are exorbitant and there is
no excuse for permitting them to contin-
lie as no one but the fakir profits By
it. They are taxed the enormous sum Of
g per day, by the city.
No time should be lost by the city coun-
Gil in placing tax of SIS day or in some
way Kidding the city of this whole class
Of travelling frauds. 1t is justice. 1t is
right. 1t is protecting the interests of
the public as well as the legitimate bus
iness of the city.
1t is no credit to town to get the
name among this class of people of "be-
ing easy" and Wellington surely has,

The Emporia Times gives the follow
ing clipping from the Gazette of that
city, Will Whites paper. To read or
hear it read, one would imagine he was
temporarily living either under Spanish
rule or among a semi barbaric people,
rather than in civilized America, the
greatest nation on earth. Such utter
ances are enough to make the revolution
airy heroes turn over in their graves.
They are certainly unworthy of true
American or one possessed of the least
degree of humanity. 1t is enough to
make a man in this enlightened age,
living in a Christian nation like this, not
only blush for shame, but really be
ashamed of his fellows. Talk abou
civilization, loyalty, humanity, the writer
of such sentiments as these is not only
lost to responsibility, but void of princi-
pie and manhood Here is the clipping:
'The Filipinos will be burden on
America. They will have to be murder
ed off Just as the Indians were. Tie
most humane solution of the Philippine
question, now that we have them on our
hands, is to give them lots of American
whiskey and let them drink themselves
to a speedy and hilarious death. If
that is not done we will be shooting
them from the mouths of cannonS inside
of five years, as our brethren, the En-
glish shot the natives of India during the
Sepoy rebellion. The assassination of
American officers is reported today.
The question which now faces the Amer
can people is not how to civilize the
Filipinos. That can not be done. The
question is what is the most humane way
TO murder them or reduce them to docile
slavery"

and Heraon in Iowa College-these are
few of the many who have been made
to feel the iron hand Of plutocratc CO.
ercion in their attempts to give to the
people the truth on vital issues instead OF
fuuctioning as mouth-pieces OF the
wealthy and of their political servant;
while the recent dismantling of the Kan
sas State Agricultural at the command
of an odious political boss is virtually
conceded to have been due to the de-
termination to prevent the free and fair
discussion of public questions. Shall the
blinds be closed, the lights turned Oft,
and the youth of the land left to grow
up in ignorance of truths that concern
most nearly their lives? If we say yes,
or what amounts to the same thing, say
nothing, and do nothing, we may pre-
pare for the worst. Great changes in
our present social and industrial system
are inevitable; no power can check them.
With intelligent preparations We may
make possible the peaceful, bloodless
transition from the present despotism OF
wealth to the coming democracy Of in
dustry and privilege. But let the light
be quenched, let truth seekers be
blinded, and truth speakers gagged, let
"the man with the hoe" become the
type of the average voter, and the
change may come in America as it came
ia France one hundred years ago,
1--WE must educate or we must perish. "
Never were these prophetic words truer
than today. Grssping the situation the
Buffalo conference took steps to eStab-
lish college of Social Science through
which the people might be enlightened
on the great economic and social issues.
Enlightened, l say; not indoctrinated,
not drilled in the creed Of one or an
other economic school, not given single
beam of truth as from a dark lantern
but made to see the light shining al
around the great problems of today
Realizing, further, that however admir-
able an institution Of higher education
may be, those who can attend it are t
those who through poverty, distance
age or occupation, cannot, as a singl,
drop of water is to the ocean itself, thi
institution has adopted the system Of ed
cation by correspondence whereby tn,
fountains of learning are brought t.

A College at Your Door-Let the Light
Shine

The war is on. Shall wealth or the
people rule in America This is the ISSUE
In 1896 a conspicuous representative Of
the corporations boldly declared, Those
who own the country will continue to
control it." And they certainly will if
the people peacefully submit to their
policy. Their methods of control are,
in some respects, well known. How
they elect Legislators, governors and con-
gressmen, not to mention judges and
presidents, all who read understand. 1t
is also well known that wealth controls
the great metropolitan press, including
many of the leading religious publica-
tiens, editors writing not what they be-
lieve but what they are required to write
on pain Of forfeiture Of their positions.
Too often the pulpit is cowed or fnan-
cially coerced into toning down the
stern truths of Jesus to meet the de-
mands of Dives in the pew. The sub
servience Of truth to the demands Of the
ruling class was amply illustrated before
the war when, in many instances, to
criticize "the peculiar institution" hui
man slavery, was to pass upon ones self
sentence of Punishment or even bodily
violence. And human nature has not
greatly changed since the days of LSve-
Joy, Garrison and Wendell Phillips.
When personal interest is jeopardized the
dollar must be protected, tho truth be
crushed to earth never to rise again.
That the warfare of vital truth
against greed and selfshness and the
determination of the rich to rule the re
public has been carried into the educa-
tional institutions of America all have
not yet realized. To those, however,
who have watched the movement il is
now demonstrated fact that those who,
despite constitutional and legal sanctions,
have declared their purpose to control,
mean to control the educational as well
as the industrial, political and religious
institutions and the press. In the last
decade, and especially in the last half Of
| it, liberal men in the colleges and uni
versities have been Systematically turned
down or terrorized into silence. Bascom

The law provides that for each fifty
votes or fraction thereof cast in each
precinct at the next preceding election
there shall be seventy-fve white ballots
printed and placed in the hands Of the
proper officials in the precinct before
the day Of election. The law further
provides that the county clerk retain q
number of ballots equal to the above fol
each precinct so that they may be furn

times the number of votes to be cast.

The Administration Won't Act.

The Lawrence World shows symptoms
of Topping 1t says: Lawrence has
already suffered keenly on account of one
trust, and now the report comes that an.
other,Of our important industries is being
forced into trust. Lawrence has been
known far and wide as a manufacturing
town, and yet one after another of our
industries are being swallowed up. The
administration must act. The story that
is being told in Lawrence is being re-
peated in every town in the country
where there are small plants"
This is good Republican authority.
J. G. Blaine said: TRUSTS are private
affairs, with which congress or the pub
lie have nothing to do"
President Mckinley will not enforce
the Sherman antitrust law.
Governor Stanley will not continue the
good work begun by Leedy and Boyle.
Ex-senator Washburn urges his party
to divorce itself from the trusts or it will
perish. But it won't, for if it did sever
its connection with the trusts and cor
porations it would perish for want of
funds.
Thus it can be easily seen that the
Republican party is between the devil
and the deep sea; or, as Salem Scudder
would have said, "They will be dog
oned if they do, and they will be dog
oned if they don't"
There is not a man, woman or child
who believes the Republican party is
sincere when it breathes word against
a trust.
