A qUIETUs on THE RATCHET.

At last an authority has been found
in the State Of Kansas capable Of hand
ling the case of Mrs. Nation. Judge
Hazen, of Topeka, has finally done
what should have been done at the
outset of these mob raids, placed her
and the other mob leaders under heavy
bonds to keep the peace. AS Mrs. Ma
ton declines to promise to keep the
peace or stop her lawless Ratchet cru
SADIE she will remain in jail
Judge Hazen in imposing sentence
stated his belief that Mrs Nation is
insane-a fact that has long been ap-
parent even to the country outside of
Kansas-and took occasion to deliver
scathing lecture to those persons
claiming to be of sound mind who aid
and abet her lawless and outlandish
methods of reform.
Judge Hazen in the interests of So
ciety as well as humanity should hold
the unfortunate woman for examina
ton into her mental condition and if
she is adjudged insane, as her actions
would indicate, properly commit her
to the care of the State, if her family
or friends cannot restrain her. 1t is
disgrace to the authorities of Kan
sas that they have so long permitted
a lunatic to set law and order at
naught
And now that Mrs. Nation is prob
ably to be disposed Of it will devolve
on the authorities TO enforce the law
also against those other and equally
or more fragrant violators-the illegal
liquor sellers.

As to the Irreducible Fund.

There will be great picking" if the
1rreducible school fund is abolished
and dispersed by the political Tom,
Dick and Harrys, who happen to be
in office at the time. The fund ought
to be abolished as it is a useless
boarding OF the peoples money: but
the constitutional amendment looking
to that end, should also provide that
the fund should be divided among our
state institutions for permanent i'm
proVements, and it would also be we'll

to be appropriated, was tackled onto

vote for. The fund now amounts 10
more than million dollars and is
worth looking after with considerable
care.

Republicans and the Treasury.

Farmers Advocate.
Mr.. Grant, in the legislature from
Monongalia, informs the Baltimore
Sun that the Republicans have spent
the 100000 surplus which was in
the treasury and have decided on
measures to produce a million of
additional revenue The Secretary
OF State and the Auditor are now
pocketing between $4,000 and $50 900
year which should go into the treas

just as II burglar was stealing this
money which belongs to taxpayers.
Here is a frozen fact and the Demo-
cratic papers should keep it before the
people. Dawson has cooked UP amend
ments to the corporation law which
double the amount of public money
going into his pockets.

INCREASING THE ARMY.


are foolishly trying to deceive the peo-
pie as to the true situation in the
Philippines to bolster up their ante
election promises that the war would
end with the reelection of Mr.. McKin-
ley, are further answered by the Pres
ident, himself, who will ask the Fifty
seventh Congress for still more troops.
Although just authorized to increase
the army to 100000 men, unless con-
ditions in the Philippines change ma
terially he will ask the new Congress,
which will assemble in special session
some time in April, for $4,000 addi-
tional troops, giving us a standing
army of 10000.
Mr.. McKinley's plea is that officers
and men cannot stand more than two
years of service in the dread climate
of the Philippines without serious in
jury to health, and the extra men are
needed to keep the forces in those
islands at full strength.
And this, by the way, is the country
which we were told offered such mag
nificent inducements to American set
tlement
Now that the election is over the
mask has been dropped and it is open
ly admitted that it will be necessary
to keep a great army in the Philip
pines for years to come. After a SER
vice of two years in the tropics an
army becomes inefficient and the bro
ken down and mental and physical
wrecks have to be replaced by new
men. Besides a drain upon the best
blood of the country, in addition to the
sacrifice of American manhood and
youth, this is tremendous bur-
den on those left at home Already
our military expenditures, which less
than FIVE years ago were merely NOM
inal, the army then numbering but
25,G00, are far greater than those of
any of the great nations of Europe, the
cost of whose military establishments
we used to look upon as appalling and
point to as the prime cause of the
great suffering of the European
masses.
1t is proposed to keep about 10000
men in the Philippines and 10000
scattered throughout this country.
Porto Rico Cuba, Hawaii and Alaska
and in the event of an outbreak
against American rule in Cuba. which
the administration seems to be invit-
ing, this tremendous army would
probably have to be doubled
MIR. Mckinley postpones his demand
until the new Congress can be assem-
ibled because it will have a Republican
majority of As and the imperialists
can pass any kind of a measure they
choose. 1t is said that when this de-
mand for $4,000 more troops on top
of the 100000 just authorized is made
of the new Congress the Democrats
will walk out and leave the entire re-
sponsibility for carrying out the i'm
perialist military programme with the
Republican majority

Col. Posey Wilson ON the Kiss De-
stroyers.

eAoyC ASs
New York Sun
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir: And
now the Chicago women seek to for
bid that pleasing dreadful thought,
the kiss. Their reasoning, in conven-
ton, was not foolishly elaborate as
that of men. Those who were for it
were for it, and said so; those agin it
were agin it.
Miss Emily Lyon reasoned well
enough to have excited the envy of
Plato, to wit: Il do not believe there
is immortality in an innocent kiss, I'M
der proper circumstances, &C."
Mrs. Woodward (whose name be ex-
alted) said there was too much kissing
of women by women.
Another said that there was too
much kissing of babies, to which the
Judicious will assent Leave the ba-
bies to be Kissed only by their mothers
and little sisters.
Persons like Chaucer's Prioress. who
was "all conscience and tender heart"
can wipe out whatever of evil there Is
thought to be in kiss by saying, i'm
medlately after contact, "Insons feet .
as the students at Ann Arbor do.
Philadelphia girls, when kissed by a
man, say, Vent dubs," which is to
say, 81 prevent or forbid doubles, or
repeating"
There is an old ballad which seems
to have escaped the -destroyers,
but whose philosophy comes to me
Ger and o'er-right good philosophy,
too:
1t is half-past kissing time, and time
to kiss again,
For time is always On the move, and
ne'er will still remain;
NO matter what the hour is, you may
rely on this:
It's always half-past kissing time and
always time to kiss.
As Miss Lyon said. there are several
ways Of making an innocent kiss inno-
