COST OF THE CIRCUS.
Some Interesting Figures Furnished
by One of the Most Famous
showmen.

One of the largest shows ever organ
lied in this country, and which was
reputed to be worth more than half q
million dollars, was inventoried on
the death Of one of the proprietors,
with a view to selling the estate of the
decedent, and, TO the great surprise
OF the executors, was found to reach
in value only about 100000, says W.
G.. Coup, manager Of the Barnum
show, in the Saturday Evening Post.
Twenty years ago a show with a
daily expenditure of $3.50 was thought
cxtravagant, while "a years ago a cir
Gus whose receipts averaged SEQ n day
was considered to be doing good
business. To-day there is one show
the expenses Of which ore undoubtcd-
ly more than $500 the day, although
II is surprising what wonderful dis
plays are made by others at cost of
less than 500 the day.
The cost Of cages varies. The orna-
mental ears used for advance adver-
Using are comfortable ana even elab-
orately fitted, and are provided with
a huge paste boiler and other con-
veniences. They cost anywhere from
50, 900 To $1,000. The fiat and stock
cars used by circuses cost from $500
to $500 each; passenger coaches from
81 800 upward.
Some circus proprietow also have
their own private cars, fitted with
every imaginable convenience and lux
ury. and such a car costs high In the
thousands. The expense OF the ward
robe depends, OF course, on the amount
used, and IFS quality, and whether the
costumes are intended for specthc-
tiiar show or for an ordinary circus.
The wardrobe and papier mnche char
lots used In the production of, our
Congress % Nations cost Mr. Bar
mum and myself more than Si0,O00a
We paid $4,000 for our first hippo
drome tent alone, and this did not In

we had larger one made for very
much less money! The small clrcuses

larger cities Of this west in summer

with two 30-foot middle pieces. This
equipped with poles, seats and lights
costs about $500.

BIGGEST BEARS IN 1Hk WORLD
An Experienced Hunter Has Deen
sent 90 Alaska TO Get Specimens
for the Government.

The biggest bears in the world are
TO be found on Kadiak island, in the
Gulf of Alaska, south of the great
shoulder of the territory that
stretches out into the Pacific; and DIR.
Frank Baker. of the Smithsonian In.
stitution has sent Elwood Hofcr,
well-known guide and hunter of the
Yellowstone park, to catch one or.
more of those great monsters for the
National geological park, says the Chi
cago Record. The Kadiak bears are of
the polar breed, perfectly white, with
long, heavy fur, and at full growth
are twice as large as the black bear
OF the Rocky mountains, weighing
from 2,400 to 1900 pounds, and stand
ing as high as an ordinary COW; and
80 are the biggest carnivorous animals
living. The tracks they leave in the
snow have often measured Is inches
very savage, and fight desperately
when attacked. Several have been
killed, and the skins have been
brought to this country, but no Ka-
diak bear was ever captured alive.
DR.. Carlton ii. Bean, the fish expert,
who Is in charge of the department of
fisheries at the Paris exhibition, while
making an exploration of the fishing
resources of Kadiak island last year,
saw good many of these bears, and
describes them in graphic terms. He
says that while climbing rocky hill
one day he saw large drove of them
near the coast trimming about and play
ing like so many lambs. There must
have been $50 or 200 in the bunch, he
says, and some of them were enor-
nous.
Elwood Hofer takes with him to
Kadiak trap which he mas used with
great success in catching wild animals
In the Yellowstone. The trap itself
weighs about three tons, and is sent
in sections to Kadiak, where Hofer
will take il into the interior, set il
up and bait it with honey or pig, IL
the latter can be obtained. Bears are
uncommonly fond of pork, and pig
when imprisoned in a trap makes a
demonstration which attracts the at
tention of the bears at a longer dis
lance than the odor of the honey.
The bear is usually very shrewd
animal, but those ON the Kadiak are
unsophisticated and unfamiliar with
the tricks of the white man, so Hofer
thinks they will walk into his trap
without hesitation, and when they get
In there once there is no possible way
for them to get out. He expects to
catch several of the monsters, but pre-
fers young ones, because they are
more easily acclimated in a new coun-
try and can be more readily handled
than those that are full grown. He
expects to have difficulty in getting
the animals away from the island, be-
canse there are no docks or landipo-
places, and steamer is compelled to
anchor ont some distance from the
shore, so that the bears will have to
embark in canoes. IL the water is
calm he may be able to float them over
to the side of the vessel on raft and
hoist them to the deck with a sling.
Hofer is q man of ingenuity and
great resource, and the Smithsonian
people are quite sure that he can get
Kadiak bear down here If anybody
! can.

REPUBLICAN, REPUDIATIoN.

The Mckinley republican ad-
ministration will go down in his
tory as the administration OF
reputation.
In it's gold standard legislation
it repudiates the contract to pay
government bonds in coin.
It repudiates the entire ST.
Louis platform on bi-metal-
lism.
1t repudiates it's first-and
only-pledges to the people OF
the Philippine Islands to recog-
nize their rights to Independent
government.
1t repudiates the fundamental
principles of the Declaration OF
Independence.
1t has repudiated it's pledges to
the people of Porto Rico by re-
fusing to treat them as citizens
OF the United States; and in do
ing this, repudiates the national
constitution.
1t has utterly repudiated the
Monroe Doctrine, and all the life
teachings and examples of the
best and purest of that party's
statesmen of former days.
1t repudiates that true Ameri-
can principle of america for
Americans" and is rapidly
adopting in it's stead: America
for whatever the English want. -
Indeed, the years of 1899 and
1900 will be known in history as
''The BLACK republican years of
reputation"

fair this year. Our people can
not afford to neglect the oppor-
tunity to take advantage of the
many benefits a county fair as
sociation will bring. There are

earnest men who are securing
stock subscriptions, and almost
any farmer in the county can af.
ford to take at least one share,
at a cost Of $40, in the associa-
tion. Gentlemen, push this mat.
ter to a successful finish. 1t is

ONE can hardly blame the re-
publicans for getting all worked
up over fusion in Kansas. They
realize that, taking the state
over, the voters who are willing
to bow to the dictations of Han
ma and his ilk do not number
over 35 per cent. Of the total
voters of the state. They realize
also that three well organ
lied central committees, working
earnestly for a cause common to
all, have the advantage over
their one committee, even though
their one committee has at it's
disposal millions of slush funds.
They have cause to kick against
fusion-from their standpoint.
But every voter who holds prin-
ciple above party name; who be-
ieves that the majority should
rule; who desires to see the af-
fairs of the country conducted
upon the principles of right and
Justice to all people; who believes
that the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the Monroe Doctrine,
the plain provisions of the Con
stitution, and the motto: A Gov.
ernment of the People, for the
People, and by the People, should
be honored and sustained
should and will rejoice to see the
various party organizations
holding to these tenets come to
gether in one more struggle fol
true Americanism.

THE republican in fact but
independent by pretense Ellin-
wood Leader has been struck by
the ''wave OF prosperity in the
shape of the paper trust, and
announces that it is compelled
to increase the subscription
price of the Leader from $1.OO
to $1.50, so that it's subscribers
can enjoy Mckinley prosperity"
by paying so per cent. more for
their paper. All the newspapers
of the county have been frosted
by the paper trust; but until the
things the farmer has to sell
have increased in price in pro-
portion to the increase on pro-
tected paper we have not the
gall to ask them to bear the
burden laid upon this paper. We
may be compelled to reduce the
size of the DEMOCRAT, or reduce
the amount of reading matter;
but we believe the farmer will ap-
preciate a smaller paper more
than an increase in the price.
Right on this line we want to
tell you that one of the objects
of the paper trust (which works
in harmony with all other indus
tries that have been Mckinley.
led is to freeze out the country
press wherever possible, and give
the big metropolitan newspapers
a monopoly of moulding public
opinion. The average country
weekly isgenerally too close to
the people-too apt tosrefuse the
dictation of combined capital.

A UNION OF FORCES.

That the democrat, populist,
and independent republican vot-
ers of Kansas should unite forces
this year for the overthrow of
the trust producing, English
aping, military power of the re-
publican party of Hanna and
Mckinley there is no question.
Whether this union of forces is
brought about or not depends
upon the people themselves,
through the representatives they
elect to the various state con-
ventions.
We believe there is a better
feeling toward each other among
all the elements mentioned than
has ever heretofore existed in
Kansas. The democrats who
have opposed the idea of uniting
with a party holding practically
the same economic views that we
hold, have either gone over en-
tirely to the gold standard party,
or have come to a realization of
the absurdity of playing cats
paws for conscienceless republi-
cans. The populists who have
opposed fusion with the demo-
Gratis have mostly gone back to
the republican ranks, or have
come te realize the pressing need
of a united opposition to a re-
publicanism that stands for gold
monometallism, i'm p eria1is m !,
trusts and supreme military
power.
That the better and more prac-
tical political spirit of unity for
the general good is crystalizing
into a working form is demon
strated by the course of the
three state central committees
which met in Topeka last Satur-
day and held a long conference,
with a view to mapping out
what they, the representatives
OF the democrat, populist, and
free silver republicans, think a
fair and equitable basis upon
which these forces can be COM
bined.
The result of this conference is,
that the committees recommend
the following basis of representa-
tion by each of the three ele-
ments: On the state ticket the
democrats to select five candi-
dates-Associate Justice, Secre-
tary of State, State Treasurer,
Solicitor of the Court of Vista
tion, and one Judge of the Court
of Visitation. The populists to
select Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Attorney General, Audi
tor, State Superintendent, Con-
gresham at Large, and one
Judge of the Court of Visitation.
The free silver republicans to Sc
lect Insurance Superintendent,
and one Judge of the Court of
Visitation.
This would make the state
ticket composed of Z populists, 5
democrats and 2 republicans.
In our Judgment that would be a
very reasonable fusion, and we
hope that delegates to the state
conventions will be selected fav-
orable to carrying out this sug-
gested plan.

ONE Or TWO ON BILL WHITE.

The editor of the Emporia Rec
ord rather knocks the stuffin'
out of some of William Allen
Whites poetic outbursts on
"Girls and the Higher Life"
which appeared in the Emporia
Gazette recently, and offers the
following comments on Willie's
remarks:
''He assumes that because a
young lady has graduated in the
high school with honors that
therefore she must necessarily be
a good for nothing strumpet at
home"
He says: Glow many of these
girls can wash a baby?"
Well, we would like to know
what difference it makes to Willie
White whether or not there is a
girl in Emporia who can wash a
baby. From all past indications
he will never need require any
such accomplishment from even
a servant girl in his house. AS
Governor Eskridge has said:
"What does VIII White know
about babies anyhow"
He wants to know chow many
of them knows where a porter
house steak comes from?" He
would apparently require all the
girls in town to pass through an
apprenticeship in a slaughter
house. And he wants to know:
How many can pick out a
good roast of mutton and know
how to dress it and serve it so
that it won't taste like a rancid
nightmare?'
Any of them can do that and
not half try. 1t is not the NUT
ton that tastes so like something
else dear brother, it's your
breath. You need a liver regula-
tor. Don't blame the dear girls
for the torpid condition of your
liver.
He asks: How many can
make their own underwear"
That's some more of his busi-
ness. What concern is it of his
as to whether or not they even
wear underwear? Then he makes
this inquiry:
"What per cent. of them can
run a wrecking crew into a pullet
and remove the debris without
breaking the gall bag?"
That's what education has
brought the once, red faced,
snotty nosed, barefooted, bash
full little urchin from near Vel
lington to. That's the way he
has probably asked his good
wife who is also college gradu-
ate, to gut a chicken, and no
wonder she didn't know how.
Had he just modestly asked her
to gut a chicken she probably
would have experienced no en-
barrassment and succeeded in
saving Willie the gall bag. But
he's just as well off without it.
It's a bladder you need dear
brother and chickens don't have
'em. Any high school girl could
tell you that.
You may blaspheme Kansas,
draw some grotesque pictures of
the Farmers Alliance, ETC., ETC.,
but what you don't know about
babies and high school girls
would fill two books the size of
''Boyville.' %

Plumbers Kick.

The members OF the Journeymen
Plumbers Association, have adopted
a resolution which will be surprise
to our capitalists who heretofore
have had everything in their own
way.
The plumbers will work eight
hours only and they propose to re.
gulate their rate OF wages. A per-
feet organization has been made
here aud the employers will have to
give in.
No strike is contemplated as it is
we'll understood that the employers
will agree to the demands asked by
the plumbers.
The officers OF the local institu-
tion are as follows: VIM. O'Brien,
president; James Leonard, vice
president; L. Neipp. secretary and
Fred Hollan, treasurer. j. II. Con-
nor, Ed. Quinn and Ed. Gould are
trustees. On Tuesday evening the
association holds meetings at it's
hall on Fort street near Beretanis.
About 35 are enrolled as members
here, all iourneymen plumbers in
Honolulu being members Of the or
ganization.
Mr.. O'Brien states that there is no
i'll feeling whatsoever between the
employers and employees in the
plumbing business. All the plumb
ers want is fair treatment and the
upholding OF their rights and they
think eight hours work a day is
enough in this country.

and when our long-legged friend
shufded out of reach, Davis had tho
floor.
"Do you doubt my honestly

from the smiling High Sheriff.
"You believe in my intesrityp
"Every time," came tho answer
under Arthur Browns handsome
moustache.
"Am l not a gentlemani' fairly
screeched Mr.. Davis, and he col
lapsed when he heard the curt au-
swer; Sometimes"
That ended the peace conference
and the ex-judge started nlfor keep
sake.
He referred to the moral (more or
less) character OF the High Sheriff
Eve regret that the "stories" didn't
materialize, but Davis perhaps
thought we knew all about and then
he claimed to have been an attorney
for the High Sheriff and that fee
of $25 was still due him. He actu-
ally took the stand to swear that
the High Sheriff was preyaricating
when saying that he owed nothing
to Mr.. Davis.
The circus lasted nearly an hour
nothing could disturb the. equani-
nifty of the High Sheriff; nothing
could keep Davis quiet and nothing
could stop Edmund Penreon Dole

Judge from looking hilarious.
