NEW YORK, Nov, i3.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says: The stock market today was oecalmed, but cheerful. Among the factors that contributed to the better feeling were the rumor that the German Emperor was endeavoring to pursuade the Boers to surrender and also the news that refugees were returning and the mines were reopeping There was also canard that BothA, with 800 men, had surrendered.
 American stocks moved in narrow limits. The recent activity apparently was only pro- fessional or New York orders. Those having ceased interest died out. The authorities ex- pect a sag in prices because of the conplyete absence of public from the market. New is very scarce, the rate ranging from to 4 per cent.

NEW YORK, Nov. lS-The stock market to- day after rather irregular and ragged open the heavy bulk of the gold exports dashed the spirits of the spectators and drove prices down and Ias seSs sens Was ~as manifest growth of dull

HOT.BED OF ANARCHY.

We are in receipt of the following communi
cation regarding the whisky fight at Fl. Scott
We know some mighty good people down at
TT. Scott, and shall always remember them
with the kindliest of feelings, but we've got to
confess that if this communication does not
touch the spot, 1t doesn't hit far from the mark:
~ have just read the account given in the
TT. Scott Tribune of the 9TH inst. of a so-called
business mems mass meeting recently held in
that city, at which, after passing resolutions
endorsing the lawless Joint and in referring
to those who were endeavoring to have the laws
enforced, the following resolution was heartily
cheered and promptly endorsed:
Resolved, That we, each and all, person
ally request these disturbers in our midst to
leave us-to leave the confines of our city,
where our homes are, and where our business
is, and we personally pledge ourselves 10 use all
lawful means to see that this resolution is car
ried into effect
"Speeches were made by w. R. Biddle, John
Grain, Jake Sheppard and Goodlander, propri-
etor of the Goodander hotel, who, among other
things, declared: Liquor shall be sold in the
Goodlander just as long as have charge of it..
This declaration was loudly applauded.
"The truth is, this meeting was a disgrace to
Fl. Scott, disgrace to Kansas and disgrace
to every man and woman who participated in
it. While these anarchists order men out OF
the city, whose only ofense consists in having
used their influence to have the constitution
and laws of Kansas obeyed, they endorse and
encourage class of professional criminals, who
make their living by violating the laws of the
state, to remain in their midst and conduct
their ome-destroying business i'll open viola
ton OF law. Fl. Scott may truthfully be
branded as a lot-bed of anarchy.
"We are glad to know that the Fl. Scott
meeting does not represent the sentiment of the
people of Kansas. Our people, as rule, are
almost unanimously in favor of an honest en-
forcement of all laws. If the adoption or re-
lection of the Ft Scott resolutions were sub
mitted to the voteis Of Kansas, they would be
buried under majority of at least 900, 900.
"The quicker such business men absent
themselves from any community, the better it
will be for that community"

popULIsT HEADQUARTERS STILL OPEN.

Probably, Secretary Curran's daily mail IS
not weighted down with letters containing
money with which to fight for the cause OF Pop
ulisin, but we are glad to learn that he is re-
ceiving many very encouraging letters, contain
ing money for the work, and that it is his pur-
pose to keep open Populist headquarters and
continue to "do business at the old stand"
Some time ago, Mr.. Curran said in an open
letter, that if the Populists of the state did not
offer sufficient substantial encouragement to
keep up the expenses of headquarters, he
would have to "shut up shop''-close head
quarters. He has received plenty OF red-hot
letters, with assistance and promises of more,
and the good work will 60 on.
No; the "Pops" are not all dead yet.

BOWMAN'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT"

]. H. Curran, in the Topeka Advocate, says:
"The daily papers have announced the can
didacy of Noah L. Bowman for congress to sue
coed Bowersock in the Second district. If Mr.
Bowman should accept the nomination, he
would make Sister Bowersock think he was
running against whirlwind. Bowman is
practically invincible where he is known. He
would be pride to the state and to the district,
and every man in the country would know that
Noah Bowman was on deck, and that he was
from Kansas"
By the way, we had talk with Mr. Bowman
a few days ago, and he says, while he thanks
the Topeka Capital for making that "formal
announcement" for him, the Capital did it
without his knowledge.

Banks and Express Companies.

Central Farmer Omaha
There is evidence that the banking business
and the express companies should be owned and
operated by the people If not, why2
"That the banks and express companies are
running the postal system is evident by recent
order prohibiting the privilege heretofore grant
ed of endorsing postal money order to any
one. This cut out much of the convenience
which the system is made for. By this means,
the persons must use bank drafts and express
orders, thus cuptailing the use OF the postal
money-order system, and making the depart
ment lose more, that corporations may profit
more. This is an outrage OH the people, who
own the system. 1t makes the government and
the people lose. 1t refuses the public the use
of their own property. The postal system is
made odious as possible, that there will be ex-
cuse for selling it to a corporation that has been
organized to take it off the hands of the people
SO that few more millionaires can be made,
and the only means of intelligence placed in
the hands of corporations that may control the
peoplt by prohibiting the equal use of the sys-
tenn to all the people. But nothing else could
be expected of the rich PEOPLE who run the
government. They own express and bank
stock, and want to make them as profitable as
possible. When will the working people,
against whom all this manipulation is directed,
wake up to the kind OF men they put into Of
fee? Ask your postmaster what he thinks of
this orde,"
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-08-16

SOME months ago, we were talking with a
Kansas postmaster (not our Garrett post
of the United States postal system being turned
over to private corporation. He SAID it would
be managed better than it is under government
management. We then thought there must be
some sort of movement on foot to turn the
system over to corporation, and recent events
prove it most concusvely. Would the con
summation of such scheme help to open the
blind eyes of the masses? We hope so.

HERE'S IRONY.

One of the neatest pieces of irony we have
seen in many day is the following letter to
Governor Stanley, which appeared in Tuesdays
Topeka State Journal:
"Governor Stanley-I was well pleased with
an article in the state Journal few days ago,
wherein it was explained that you used the
power invested in you by the laws OF Kansas
giving you oversight over all Inferior ofhcers
aud the power to call halt If they were gong
astray, by calling halt at Leavenwo1tt and
preventing prize fight and saved the state
from disgrace. Seeing the bravery you mani
tested in wiring the officers of Leavenworth not
to allow that disgraceful thing TO occur at their
peril, could not but help compare your brav-
erv with that of Governor Morrill,, who took
solemn oath to enforce the laws of Kansas at
time when we had prohibitory law in Kansas.
In Leavenworth, men decided they would sell
liqvor regardless of the law. The people called
on Governor Morrill, to enforce the law. he
was simply regardless of his oath to man and
his obligation to God as a Sabbath school ST.
pe1intendent and said, Il can't. Don't you
think, Governor, if he had the nerve YOU pos
sess. he could have said this law must be OBJ
served? But he wanted to carry water on both
shoulders. felt much interest in Mr. Leedy
when he was elected, and wrote him private
letter telling him OF the enviable position he
occupied and how the whole world was looking
at Kansas to see what he would do with the
prohibitory law.
"Did you ever stop to thiuk of the miserable
end of the two former governors mentioned
They went from Office besmirched from head to
foot. Allow me to congratulate you on your
bravery in stopping that fight. You don't sup
pose, governor, that the people of Kansas did
not know that the former governors were trying
to pull the wool over their eyes? If you con-
tinue to exhibit your courage, there will be no
trouble for you to be United States senator
soon. F. ]. KELLOGG"
