THE FLOOD FUND SCANDAL.

Our readers viii recall that one Of the reasons urged
by the Eagle in opposing extra session of the legs-
laure that adequate appropriation for relief
of the flood sufferers would be possible under the
sttution, but that should the legislature and by
evasion otherwise appropriate as little as a million
dollars there would be injustice the disrbu-
ton, that there would be hlching scandals AS
would have happened, cite what really has come
in handling and distributing the contributed
by the people Of Kansas at large and by people
The Atchison Globe tells it the succinctly. That
paper says
MANY people in Armourdale have refused the house
hold furnishings offered by the flood relief committee
and demand money nothing. Out of twenty-five
wagon loads of goods Tuesday and Wednesday to
food sufferers about onehalf refused to accept it and it
returned TO relief headquarters The committee
pays heed to these protests buying 900 more
sets Of house mold goods There doubt the feel
Ing CT the people in Armourdale They arc in state
bordering upon excitement They believe that the com
mittee is force furniture upon whether they
wish ii not and the opposition to th fomented by
people who would be benefited cash were given
than if the aid given in furniture Think what
row there would have been its distribution had the
Kansas legislature appro2 lated million dollars!
The quarrel has reached beautiful stage An open
air meeting held ArmoIrdlie last evening at
which a committee of fre was appointed to find out
what done with the yeef Sand Ore speaker charged
that the committee han had s5)0ao hand for four
weeks: army f clerks employed by 1t at 50 50
day each to register applicants twice and do lot Of
other red tape work. but that the victims mad
received penny Accusations Of dishonesty were made
against every one handling money the more plainly
the speaker made his charges Of thieving. the
was the applause On the other hand people charge
that the sufferers have become grafters"

WHERE AND WHY The GOLD is GOING.

Clews estimates that great has been the volume
Of recent liquidation that worst is The loss
has fallen on those best able bear it. those who
having won by plunging all promotions
now pay for the fun.
Clews' weekly letter concludes with the statement
that favorable feature significance is the for
egn buying our securities well the disposition
of Europe our credits abroad after the prompt
payments made last spring 1t is probable consider
able the railroad borrowings viii placed abroad
and these two influences have already induced heavy
break in sterling which puts an end to all gold exports
for the present.
But the gold exports have been large of late. Last
week there was shipped Paris s6OO0O0O gold,
and since the first January sent $19 10000

in the year 1901 out the $5060OOOO gold exported
France s3420O0O0 The real reason for this pre-
ponderant gold to France says the Pitts
burg Post is that London Berlin borrowed large
of capital from France in the European boom" Of
1897 and 1898, while England had to borrow still more
during the Boer war Since then the process at work
has been repayment from both England and Germany,
and the consequence that American gold which would
ordinarily go these markets. diverted France

English and German indebtedness

Pointed Paragraphs.

Oil magn&tes live on the fat of the land
Some men seem to have been born asleep
and forget to wake up.
A mans best capital is his ability and
willingness to work.
The safest time to monkey with the
stock market is on Sundays and holidays.
Nothing pleases busy man more than
to set two chronic borcs to boring each
other.
The greatest objection to cheap clothes
is that they usually make the wearer feel
the same way.
In an argument the long winded man
succeeds either in convincing his opponent
or in making him tired.
There are two classes of men in the
world-thoSe who make fools of them
selves and those who don't have to.
What a delightful old world this would
be if all men were as perfect as they
think their neighbors should be.
The average man finds it easier to keep
his enemies down than to keep his fool
friends from getting him down. ~. =.
