ATTORNEY GENERAL GoD-
DARD made himself the laugh
ing stock of the state by rem
dering an opinion last week
holding the special session Of
the legislature unconstitu-
tional. The embarrassing
feature of the opinion so far
as Mr.. Goddard is affected is
made apparent from the fact
that he was assistant attorn-
ely general under the Morrill,
administration and was ask
ed for an opinion when Gov.
Morrill, was contemplating
converting the legislature in
special session. Goddard adj
vised Gov. Morrill, that the
chief executive is the sole
judge as to whether or not an
emergency exists and no
court has power to sit in
judgment over the governors
action. Since the two ''opin-
ions" are Numerically oppos-
ed to each other the members
of the legislature and the adj
ministration are having con-
siderable fun at Mr.. God
dard's expense. Neither Gov.
Stanley nor the republican
members of the legislature
support the attorney gener-
ais view and he is regarded
as the guy and chump of the
state house.

The remarkable rapidity
with which reform is grow
ing in the East is encourag-
ing, and it again reiterates
the oft repeated maxim that
you can fool some of the peo-
pie part OF the time, but you
can't fool all the people all
the time. The shopmen and
miners of the large eastern
cities have undergone more
torment and misery than any
other class of people, and in
recent years they have been
studying the inevitable law
OF cause and effect with the
result that many of them are
ready TO prescribe a rene
dy. During the two years
last past reform literature
has had a great field in east
ern states and new avenues
for missionary work are con-
stantly opening. Time was
when the West took the lead
in advanced education in DO.
lltlcal economy but unless we
get out of our seeming leth-
argy and awake from our Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep we will be
distanced by our eastern
brethren. In any event the
progress is encouraging and
earnest reformers will put
their shoulders to the wheel
with renewed energy and
vigor.

WE clip the three following squibs
from the Wichita Eagle. The Eagle,
though a republican paper, says some
sensible things when left alone with
itself:
ut ought to be the business of the
republican party in Kansas to create
beneticially without taking the course
of destroying revengefully. AS a de-
structive agent, an opposition party,
the republican party is weak, and the
easiest way for it to biunder into un-
popularity is to spend two years of its
time weeping large plate-glass tears
over that special session.
Mr.. Goddard's opinion against the
extra session is not final. A court must
pass on the legality of the session, and
court will have to have a good deal of
gall to dictate to governor what he
shall be privileged to think an emer-
gency ISL
ut may be considered expedient to
call the special session demonstrations
al, but when governor is robbed of
his privilege OF determining an emer-
gency, the republicans are destroying
mighty valuable weapon that they
may need some day."

SENATOR Jewell ING is
again championing an appro-
priation measure for Wichi-
ta's benefit. This time he is
asking for $4,000 for the trans
Mississippi congress which
is to meet in that city next
summer. Two years ago
Lewelling was at the head of
a scheme to donate Wichita
a large sum of money for a
Garfield university but 1T
failed as it should. If WITCH.
tia is entitled to an appro.
priation every city in the
state is entitled to one, and
after each would receive it's
share the taxpayers would
be paupers. Lewelling has
any amount of gall but is
very deficient in other re.
spects. He seems to think
that his only duty as senator
is to stick the state for APP
preparations and bleed the
taxpayers. Thank heaven he
has a very small following.

Garry that out a little farther. The
confession was not elected on the face
of the returns but claimed fraud, Just
as Judge Mckay does, and the com
missioners sustained him. If there
were irregularities connected with an
insignificant road oyerseer election, is
it not possible that there could have
been something illegal connected with
the election of such an important Off
cial as district judge? If republican
road overseer has the moral right to
contest, has not a Populist judge the
same right? With some republican
politicians it makes a big difference

EASY TO MAKE MONEY.

The Mississippi Valley Journal of
Agriculture observes that prosperity
is immense IN this country and pro-
duces figures to prove it. 1t says:
1T is the easiest thing in the world
to make money now. Sliding down a
creased pole is hardly any slicker. BY
strict economy and practicing what he
breaches, Uncle Russell himself has
managed to lay up little mite of $751;
10000 during the past year. It is also
reported that that good soul Aunt Het-
ty Green, who boards her husband at a
| cheap lodging house because he is too
expensive at home, has put away an
other Sl5 100000 In her old stocking
during the same period. Oh, it Is easy
to make money now. Prosperity is ab-
rolutely rampant. See this list of the
savings of a few honest mlllionaires
during 1898:
j. d. Rockefeller. $50. 100000.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, s20OOO,0OO
W. K. Vanderbilt, S20, 100000.
Russell Sage. s15, 100000.
Hetty Green, SIS, O00. 600.
George ]. Gould, slO,OOO,OOO.
John Jacob Astor, $40, GOO 900.
d. o. Mills, $10,0O0,OOO.
Charles I. Yerkes, So, O00, 900.
VIM. @. Whitney, So, 600 600.
II. o. Havemeyer, g.. 100000.
p. A. b. Wldener, S.. 600 900.
w. L. Elkins, S., 100000
Thomas H. Ryan, $4,000
Anthony N. Brady, $5,0OO.OOO.
John W. Mackey, S5.OOOOoO.
1t will be observed that these sixteen
poor but honest millionaires have sue
ceeded in adding Sl70,000,OOO to their
savings III the short space of one year.
Could we ask any better evidence of
the fact that prosperity is abroad IN
the land? BY all means let the farm
ers and iabOrerS avail themselves of
this most propitious era. If the mil
llOnaireS can make so much money in
so short time without doing any work
at all, what may not real workers ac-
complish? And, besides. If they put it
off, the millionaires may soon corner
all the money and then 1t Will be too
late for the other fellows. Great is the
gold standard! What wonders it does
accomplish-fOr the millionaires

Immediately q chappie-looking young
nan with the rock Of Gibraltar in hia
face stopped to pick the buttoner up
and having got 1t in his hands he rose
smiling, and, much to her surprise
offered to buttoE the glove. For an in

girl would have done and then the

quite a show Of indignation.
