IT Is now evident that the question
Of the trusts will occupy an important
place in the platforms of the parties
in 1900. In the nature Of things the
so called "popocratic" pnrty will OPP
pose the trusts and favor public
ownership, while the republican party
supported as it is by all the great
monied combines must necessarily
favor the trusts.

That Deficiency BIZ.

This Djapdtcb takes TINS paper Io
task for correcting an error it made the
week before concerning the deficiency
appropriation. In trying to account
of lis readers for the enormously IL
creased appropriations made by the
republican legislature over those
made by the popuhsfs the statement
WAS made that $ll4,000 were appro-
priated to make up deficiencies the
year before. The HERALD corrected
the error by showing that only little
more than $4,000 was the true
amount of the deficiency appropria-
ton, a difference Of only 100000.
Bat it appears that the Diapatch's
misstatement was willlul and not an
accident gs we had supposed, for It's
editor last week rushes to the defense
of his former mNsistement and tries
to tell what it was for. He says that
$4,000 was for "8ccruing Q1antrell
bonds" We suppose he means the
Quantrell raid claims, But isn't it
rather queer Figuring" to place these
claims that grew out Of the sacking
OF Lawrence thirty,slx years ego in
the list of pop Deficiencies? The next
item is one of $114,000 for destitute
insane. Just how that can DO charged
up as deficiency OF the last legisla-
ture is also difficult to SEQ, LASTLY he
says there was appropriated for the
state printer $4,000. The deficiency
bill shows no such an appropriation,
but counting all The Dispatch'S fig
ures the grand total adds up S247 O0O
leaving yet 100000 to be accounted
for. How is the Dispatch gong to
fix that up?
The HERALD Was absolutely sure Of
the correctness of lis contention that
the deficiency appropriation was only
a little more than $4,000, but in or.
der to prove it beyond question we
wrote j. w Morphy, secretary of the
senate, for copy of the bill, which he
sent 1t was printed IN the Advocate
Of March Is, and may he found on
page 20 of that paper. MIR. Mtrphy
as secretary of the senate had charge
of all the bulls that passed that body
and heuce his statement IS the best
possible authority. Following 10 bIr .
Morphy's letter:
TOPEKA, KAN, MAY s, 1899
j. NJ. Tadlock, Phillpsbarg, Kan,
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of
the 9th, will say that the deficiency
appropriation bill-Senate Bill No.
| ella copy of which | send yon hero

You can figure it up yourself exactly.
Republican papers got this S444, 1000
claim from the Topeka Capital. The
only trouble with that psper IL, as
Webb McNall would say, that "the
heft of what it knows amt So"
Respectfully,
j, w NoRPHY,
Secretary of the Senate.
Now will the Dispatch be far
enough to act itself right on this
matter? The fact remains that near.
ly 100000 more was appropriated
by the legislature of 1899 than by the
Legislature of 1897 Part of this was
for buildings and q part for the es-
adjustment of the Irvine factory at
the penitentiary, but large part of is
for increased expenses over the last
administration. The deficiency ap-
preparation amounted to just about
what 1t has always been. The state
tax levy has been increased and a
great deal more will be required of
the people In the way of taxes to
meet these increased expenditures.

DoNKEYs AND MULES.

Lord Kitchener's present to Queen
Victoria of fine donkey from the Nile
moves a London newspaper to say that
it is only foolish and ignorant people in
the west who disparage the donkey, and
that the east commits no such blunder
The donkey himself, if suddenly en-
dowed with speech, like his ancestor in
Balaam's service, would protest against
this inaccuracy, and return thanks for
the welcome the west gives him. The
donkey is little known in the East In
dies or in North China, but he is iden-
titled with truck farming and garden
ing in all the Mediterranean countries
of Europe. The fact is, according to
the best data, there are about a third
more donkeys and mules in South
America than in the whole of Asia
They are twice as numerous in North
America and three times as numerous
in Europe as in Asia. 1t is nonsense to
say that either the donkey or his rela-
tives are disparaged in the west.
This is by no means the first time the
head of western nation has received
d present Oh a QODhey. W the
New York Sun, which has recent ar
ticle or the subject. George Washing
ton was thus honored, and the effect
upon the character of the draught ami
mails in this country was most marked
1t was the fine donkeys presented to our
first president by General Lafayette and
the king of Spain that greatly stimulat-
ed the interest he had already shown in
the introduction of mules on the south
ern plantations. The donkey is not
heavy enough for our draught pur-
poses, but, in Washington's opinion, the
hardy, strong animal that is the Off
spring of the male donkey and the mare
was the best beast for farm and other
draught purposes in the southern part
of the country. He spread this idea
bred mules himself, and the fact that
there are now about two and quarter
millions of mules in the country, most
of them in the southern states, is partly
due to Washington's influence.

GOOD SHORT STORIES.
It Was the Wrong Hat.
CPittsburg Dispatch.)


When James VOORHEES,, prominent in
Washington as the actor, author, sculp-
tor, statesman, son of the late senator
from Indiana, was private secretary to
Governor Blue Jeans Williams of Indi-
ana. General Manson once came into the
governors office. General Manson was
auditor of the state. He died not long
ago in Terre Haute. He was short, but
corpulent bald of head, but long of beard,
which latter was white and reached to
the middle of his waistcoat.
The governor was nearly seven feet
tall as lank as Lincoln. with long. bony
hands, odd-sized feet and large ears. He
was always clad in blue jeans, grown,
spun, woven, dyed and made on his own
farm near Vincennes. His chief fame
was his economy and the fact that he
had defeated General Harrison for the
office. The general was a typical western
man of the world, an ex-congreSsman,
and he knew life. The governor was a
farmer by profession and congressman
and governor by accident.
The day that the general visited the
governors office he asked a political FAVOR
for friend. The governor hesitated ana
at length refused. Thereupon the general
picked up a hat, pulled IL down over MS
ears and stumped out of the room in rage.
When he reached his own office he said:
II tell you, boys, the old man says NO.
That's what comes OF electlnS man
governor who wears No. hat and No. 3
shoes. Bahr'

he is always glad to welcome you to his
office. You may have your cno1cel or
chairs and put your feet on any desk you
please, but he draws the line on you
wearing off his new hat.
What exclaimed the general, as he
slipped off the soft hat which htted MIN
so loosely.
1t was even SO.

POEMS WORTH READING.
THE MONK.


post Wheeler in New York Press.)
The monk went down the winding stair
And lit the candles one by one
The heavy incense in the air
Made each nimbused sun.
The corpse lay lighted on its bier;
Its cheek was white. its eyes were dim;
But suddenly they opened clear
And wavered up at him..
Brother it said-and well he knew
That it was dead that spake so wise
Since yestere'en have had view
OF heaven, with these eyes.
1.-THE Radiance looked upon my face
And ON the holy dress l wore.
There was for me no heavenly place;
For that my heart was sore
$50 thrust your hand within my breast
And take away my mortal sin,
That, when l go once more to rest.
l may enter inl'
The monk drew wide the dead mans
dress
And 10, a pictured face he bore.
It lay so light so light, nathless
1t made the dead heart sore.
Quick he uncIasped the painted thing
AS one of his own soul afraid,
And hurled it from him. shuddering,
And shudderingly prayed.
The dead man sweated as he lay,
And sharp trembling shook each limb;
But when the fit had passed away
The eyes smiled. and were dim.
The monk awoke (the bell that day
Tolled for the dead man Ger and o'er),
And knew, the while he tried to pray,
His own dead heart was sore.
