A Government Loan Office.

Topeka State Journal
The plan for handling the government reve-
nues which Mr.. Gage is said to have thought
out very carefully is to keep some $50 ZOO, 900
at all times in the public treasury as daily
working cash balance, and 10 deposit all the
revenues, as they are collected, in the national
banks of the clearing house cities, in each
bank in proportion to its capital and surplus,
on the security of lis general assets, making
the government claim first lien thereon and
charging the banks interest for the use of the
money
The farmers of the West and South had a
scheme some years ago for establishing gov
ernment loan Office, bu it did not seem to meet
with any degree of favor. 1t was not proposed,
however, to loin to the banks, but to those
who had money, and were i'll need of cash,
and were prepared to put up tangible security

State Slot Machine.

Western Life, Leavenworth.
When Warden Jewett commenced to charge
an admission fee to the state penitentiary,
Western Life announced the fact to the people.
The fact that no law authorized the act and no
law designated what use should be made of the
proceeds was brought before the people very
forcibly. Many papers over the state took up
the matter and denounced this piece of pre-
sumption on the part OF state official. The
editor of Western Life wrote the attorney. gen.
eral concerning the matter, but that gentleman,
in very carefuly-chosen words, said-nothing
Jewett said the prisoners needed Bibles and
pianos. 1t seemed strange that Kansas can
afford to buy poison for prairie dogs and offer
rewards for the Benders, but can't provide for
her convicts. But the practice is kept up, and
cut rates are even given to large parties. 1t is
the great and only Kansas Slot Machine. But
now behold One Kansas official, who has a
right to know, wants to be informed of the
disposition of the money thus taken in. Au-
ditor Cole has demanded that Jewett take no.
tice of the fact that lie forgot to mention in his
regular report what he did with those dimes
Cole wants to know, and so do the people, aud
Jewett will have to tell.

WILL ALLEN WHITE can make as many diff
ferent kinds of fool of himself as anybody,
but he sometimes writes something very good,
of which the following is an example: "We
are reaping the whirlwinp The greedy disre-
gard of the law Of kindness, which is the great
unwritten law of America, the greed which
turned American miners and mill hands and
machinists out of doors to starve or come west,
the greed that violated the Golden Rule because
it was not on the statutes, is finding to-day in
the rise OF anarchy the natural and inevitable
harvest of its sowing"

Conditions that Breed Anarchy.

The Union, Minneapolis.
A recent writer, Mr.. Holmes, gives the fol-
lowing figures, taken from the best information
available, as to the distribution of wealth in
this country:
"Ninety-one per cent of tue I2,69o,152 fam
lilies of the country own more than 2o per
cent of the wealth, and per cent of the fami-
lies own obout II per cent of the wealth
"Among the ,o96,565 families in which II
per cent of tine wealth, of the country is con-
centrated, there is still further concentration,
which may be indicated by taking account of
the very rich. Tie New York Tribune's list
OF o47 millionaires affoids the best basis for
this. Without going into details, the conclu-
sion adopted in this article is that the 4,o47
millionaires are not worth less than $40, o,ooo,-
600, 900 nor more than $4,000, 200, ,ooo-say
$I2, 900 200, ,ooo-or about one-ffth of the ma
tion's wealth. We are now prepared to char
acterize the concentration of the United States
by stating that 20 per cent Of it is own d by
three hundredths of one per cent of the faini-
lies 81 per cent by per cent of the families
(not including milionaires); II per cent by 9
per cent of the families (ncudiug million
aires), and 29 per cent by 81 per cent of the
families"

assassin of the vilest hue. No paper has said
meaner things about candidates of opposite po-

THE Farmers Cooperative Grain and Live
Stock Association is good thing, and should
be organized in every county in the state. 1t
is not a political organization, but it was orig
mated for the mutual protection Of the farmers,
and to enable them to market their products
to the best advantage. In some counties, the
farmers have built elevators, and they have
succeeded III cutting out the "middle mems"
profits. Indeed, the farmers in the counties
which have been orga"ized are very enthusi-
astic, and the usefulness of the organization is
being gradually increased.

The Sugar Trust.
Central Farmer, Omaha.

Central Farmer Omaha.
The Journal of Commerce is authority for
saying that Havemeyer has declared war on
beet sugar. 1t is only short time since the
Central Farmer prophesied that this would be
done. We expected, however, that it would
be done after congress had made concessions to
the cane-sugar men, but it seems that it wasn't
necessary to wait until congress convened.
This report says that the price of sugar is re-
duced only in the states where sugar beets are
grown, which will make the war sectional
one. In Nebraska, the sugar-b beet industry has
opened up an excellent field for farmers. The
beet factories are located at such points that
enormous freight charges do not consume the
profits. If the sugar trust can afford to cut
prices in sugar beet localities, they can afford
lower rate than they have been charging. 1t
is plain lesson on the beauty of the system of
private corporations. This lesson is one which
directly affects the farmers. The trust says to
you that you shall not produce sugar-beets for
profit. When it comes to profit, they say. 81
own the eaith."
If you have never been in favor of govern
ment ownership of trusts and monopolies, sup
pose you consider what results are when private
corporations in business for private gain,
and public corporations would be in business to
able? If you are raising sugar-beets, suppose
you write us letter for publication on this
subject.

at the Capitol.

AT the Cap1tOl.
William Shields better known through
the country as "Rube' Shields, the trick
bicyclist has returned to this city after a
three years tour around the border Of the
United States. Mr.. Shields, it will be re-
membered, was the first wheelman to ride
down the west front steps Of the Capitol
He accomplished that feat on the 31st Of
March, 1897. escaping without any injuries
of consequence. Since that time ne has
successfully ridden down the steps of nearly
every capitol building in the states and ter
ritories, and where those buildings were not
equipped with the necessary architectural
appurtenances he sought out the building
having the longest flight. Where these
could not be found he had platform con-
structed containing from forty to eighty
rises.
Mr.. Shields gave an exhibition at Las
Vegas at the time of the reunion of the
Rough Riders and his daring feats were
witnessed by some six or eight of the gov
ernors of states present at the reunion.
Rube' has been accompanied on his trips
by younger brother, Frank Shields. He
has quite a number of curiosities collected
on his tour. They contemplate making a
trip through Cuba, Mexico and many Cen
trail American states in the near future,
