Something for Nothing.

We have heard of the boy who
wanted to eat his cake and keep it
too, but never before of a business
man who sold his goods and then
gave the purchaser credit for the
amount paid To learn about this
send to James Vicks Sons, of Roch
ester, N. Y, who agree to do this in
their Guide. The Golden Wedding
edition OF Vick's Garden and Floral
Guide is certainly an artistic work,
with its twentyfour pages litho-
graphed in colors, and nearly one
hundred more pages filled with
handsome half-tone illustrations,
photographed from Flowers, Fruits,
Vegetables and homes.
While this Guide is really too ex
pensive to give away, they give it
with Due Bill for 25 cents worth
Of seeds for only Is cents. Another
new feature is the doing away with
the old packet of Vegetable Seeds
and stating the quantity in each
case, the buyer getting more for his
money

Young Tom Flaws, son of our
Dayton merchant, is down with the
diphtheria. Now that the disease
has reached this place every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
its spreading. There are a great
many young children IN this com
munity and should the disease get
start there would doubtless by
many fatalities. The school should
be closed and parents should keep
their children strictly confined to
their homes. Disinfectants should
be freely used. The weather at
present is propitious to stamping
out the disease in its infancy, and
it should be done.

State Capital building at Carson

by people anxious to witness the

KANSAS IN A NEW LIGHT.

The eastern paragrapher has had
considerable fun with Kansas and Kan
sans. He has described the people as a
strange amalgamation of paupers and
politicians, has painted the state as one
huge political stump. and asserted that
the chief crop was whiskers.
But what a libeler he was for doing
it, OF course it all began as joke,
but frequent repetition made Islander
of it.
To Illustrate its utter falsity, take
the case of Bronson, a city of the Sun
flower state. A municipal election was
to have been held there the other day,
but the citizens were so busy trying
to make a living that the campaign
went by default. No conventions were
called, although three political organ
izations exist there; no candidates were
named, no tickets were put up, and
when the polls We're opened, in COM
pliance with the law, there was moth
ing to do.
The city officials sought legal advice,
and have been informed that, unless
they consent to hold over, the city will
be without government for two years.
And still people who live in the at
mosphere of Croker, Plat and Quay
laugh and point to Kansas as a vau-
deville stage, where politics is a sort
of continuous performance. 1t is an
outrage.

No one would accuse the New York
Tribune of the least friendship for Bry-
an. 1t is a goldbug so pronounced that
it fails to treat any silver advocate
with common decency. Yet it says of
the banquet Bryan refused to attend:
Croker defends the extravaganza of
his coming banquet on the ground that
it will put lot of money in circula-
ton among cooks, puryeyors, must
clans, florists, walters, bottle-washers
and others in the ranks of art and in
dustry, and, so far as this economic
aspect Of the feast is concerned, no
fault need be found. Its reproach is
in pretending to honor the memory of a
statesman who, If alive, would repudi-
ate such celebration with scorn and in
dignation, and it concludes: IF that
incorruptible apostle of true Democ-
racy could be heard from at his own
banquet he would be able to tell the
feasters something better worth $40
plate than the repast of any and all of
the oratory which, according to pres
ent arrangements, is to go with il"

JAPAN'S ADVANCEMENT.

1.-THE empress of Japan has privileges
accorded to none of her predecessors
says an exchange. "She is allowed to
eat at the same table with the emperor,
and he consults her in regard to po-
litical matters"
The emancipation of women in ia
pan has begun in earnest. Progressive
in all things. the little empire has not
overlooked this line of development.
This is not confined to royal circles,
as indicated in the item concerning the
empress. but it is noticeable in every
circle Of japanese life. Probably in no
other country has woman made more
rapid strides than in Japan during the
last quarter Of a century.
II has only been a few years, COM
paratively speaking, since the gentle
women of Japan were popularity re-
garded as pets or toys, to be fondled
and cast aside or sold into virtual
slavery for a small monthly stipend.
And these. Of the higher grade were
frivolous and ignorant and taught
that it was ladylike and desirable for
them to be so.

BEHIND THE TRUSTS.

''why are trusts being foGmed?" asks
a correspondent
To destroy competition. To cut down
the coss Of production. To control the
supply and raise prices To regulate
operations and lessen the chance of
operatives to get work.
These are the motives behind the or
ganization of trusts.
The American sugar trust did these
things Immediately upon its formation.
1t closed down q number of costly refin-
cries. The whisky trust locked ND
many distilleries. The tin plate trust
followed the same course. And thou
sands of laborers were thrown out of
work and kept out of positions by the
organization Of trusts.
1t is what the smester trusts, and the
1ourmlI trusts, and the countless
other combinations of capital are do
ing. and are going to do.
They inaict many hardships, mainly
upon small competitors and limited con-
Germs which would otherwise have an
opportunity to build themselves up:
but mona perhaps, is so distressing as
this closing down Of mills and facto-
ries to shut of the supply and control
production.
1t takes bread out of the mouths Of
honest working1uen. who would be reg
ularly employed under normal trade
conditions, and if the federal law
against trusts were enforced.

designed especially for the man who has
to be called in the morning. 1t appears
that the calls are spelled out monograph
ically on pieces of galvanized rubber,
which are introduced into the timepieces.
When the hour al which the alarm is set

of the new clock are as wide as the pho

into an adjustable cylinder and scold
himself in any language he pleases TO
have the clock repeat to him at the APP

may do this for him. Better still, she may

the appointed retiring hour. with: John,
did you lock the back door? Did you put

CUBAN GOVERNMENT.

Cubans are becoming trifle restless.
They are naturally anxious to know
what IS to be done with them. The
policy of the administration in regard
to them, as it is with the Filipinos, is
vague and foggy. But the people are
more patient than were those of the
Asiatic archipelago; and their leader,
General Gomez, is man of more wis
dom and less impulse than character
ize the leader of the Philippine insur-
gents. But something definite is in
order.
The United States has declared it's
purpose to give Cuba peace, order, and
good government. The declaration is
now somewhat mouldy, but it has never
been definitely invalidated. Why not
proceed to active effort in carrying out
the declaration? Why maintain an
army of men, exposing them to disease
and death, to insure order in a peace
full land which ought to insure its own
order?
The military commission of Cuba
was never able to determine its powers
or its necessity. General Gomez is not
ambitious to become a military dicta-
tor. But the people are wondering what
sort of country they inhabit.
1t is generally understood throughout
the United States that the purpose Of
American occupation has always been
the establishment of just and peace
full government in the island of Cuba
either their own or that of a new Cuba
Why delay in providing some form of
government, even if it be not the best?

on foreign soil do not constitute an

Labor problems galore are upon us.
Coolie competition, constitutional in
dolence in the Antilles, naked savages
in the Sulus, Chinese and Portuguese
in Hawaii and we are still signing for
more worlds to conquer. On account
of the contemplated exclusion of Jap
anese from the islands by the United
States contract labor laws it is said
that 10000 Portuguese laborers are to
be taken to Hawaii from the Azores
via Cape Horn in Italian warships and
unloaded as free immigrants to United
States territory-the land of the free
and the home of the brave.

commissions and committees have been
sent out TO return with conflicting re-
ports? The situation will become no
more simple, the problem become no
more easy of solution. in month or in
six months.
Annexation, at present, is out of the
question The declaration of war ex-
pressly pledges this republic against it.
If. after an Independent government is
set up, the people petition for annexa-
ton, that is another matter.
But steps should be taken at once. it
seems, to launch the new government.
Delay is liable to bring on complica-
tions in Cuba, as indecision did in the
Philippines.
