Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-12-07

IT is stated that Attorney General Griggs
will leave McKinley's cabinet. It's this way:
Griggs is the general attorney for the New Jer-
sew liquor-dealers' association, at salary of
5000 year-has drawn it right along while
getting salary of $4,000 as McKinleys attor-
ey-general. The liquordealers' association is
not as "easy' as Mckinley, however, and it
wants Griggs to put in his time for the associa-
ton or give up his $4,000 job. 1t would
seem, though, that he earned his salary when
he decided against the anticanteen law. Nc
Kinley knew, when he appointed Griggs, that
he was the liquor-dealers' attorney. What do
the good Christian people who supported Nc
Kinley think about it? ~

STANLEY wants the Kansas Legislature to re-
store the death penalty. 1t Stanley knows
ANYTHING about the laws of Kansas, he knows
that the governor can hang convict who has
been sentenced to hang, one year after convic-
ton. If he is anxious to try his hand at the
business of hanging men, there are now IN the
penitentiary forty men under death sentence,
who could be hanged next week, or tomorrow
Our blood-thrsty governor might have hang
ing bee and string them all up at once. Isn't
it Just possible that Stanley is an arrant coward,
and wants to shift the responsibility upon the
legislature?

10 McDILL'S MUSINGS.

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone.
observe that the president did not recommend
the giving of gifts to poor people In prior
Thanksgiving proclamations, to recommend
the giving of gifts was the rule. This is a
new departure, and it is either assumed that
there are no poor, OF else one meal is sufficient.
The churches whoop mp square meal on
Christmas, for the poor. Thanksgiving was
the other square meal occasion.
I also observe that the story papers have
hardly done the fair thing.
FUSED to hope that the Fourth of July would
be made square, meal day. That hope is now
permanently abandoned.
I can as near live on one square meal year
as any man, but l must confess that it goes
against the stomach.
1t is hard to determine, as yet, what the
president (also the our governor) meant by
leaving out the square meal for the poor on
Thanksgiving, but l assume that it has some
political bearing. If the poor should happen
to get two square meals per annum, they might,
in the language OF the scriptures, "wax fat"
1t cannot be claimed that there are no poor,
for the most reliable data gives three millions
of people in the United States who are the re-
cipients Of public or private charity.

South Africa. where he went in July
with shipload Of Missouri mules and
jacks. He left on his return trip on
Oct. 10 and has much to say of the
stirring events now transporting in that
section of the world. Cecil Rhodes
bought the entire shipload of mules
that Smock took to South Africa, pay
ing $500 apiece for jacks that were
bought for $3.50 in the United States,
says the st. Louis Republic Before he
left, Mr.. Smock says, $4,000 was Of

Mr.. Smock says the Beers are big,
sturdy men and that, while most of the

war. many Of their sons are fighting
with Joubert. The British troops he
saw were fine looking young men, most
of them not over - years old and

The people at Cape Town thought at

would end the war and that the Beers

CRANKS AFTER KEENE.
Many Were Ruined BY Him During Recent
Gambling Panic.

James r. Keene, the leader of the bear
operators in Wall street, is, it seems, re-
ceiving many anon ymous letters of a
threat ennV character from persons who
say they Were financially ruined by him
during the recent stock gambling panic.
They attribute che great tall in the prices
of stocks to him.
Immediately after that panic the New
York newspapers contained the statment
that he had made as much as $3,00O,O0o.
Naturally, many OF those who had lost
their money jumped to the conclusion
that he won the money which they lost,
and that he virtually robbed them II
is not probable that he will be assai led
by any of the writer's OF these anonymous
letters, though If there is crank among
them there IS danger that his Wall stree t
career will be suddenly ended.
A great many people who had small
fortunes or considerable savings were
financially ruined during the few hours
the stock gambling panic lasted. 1t was
reported that thousands were made al
most penuilesS.

Can Only Communicate With the World

Perhaps the most isolated tribe OF
people in the world is the Tshuktshi, o
people occupying the northern portion
of the peninsular of Kamskatka and the
country northward toward Boring strait.
These people are practically indepen-
dent of Russia, who appears to have rea-
sons of her own for letting them alone.
They have practi ally no C communication
with the out side wUllu, and have only
been visited two or three times-the last
time by Mai. de Windt on bis Journey

The Inhabitants of New Siberian Island
are also practically alone on earth, for
