Why Free Coinage and More Money are Denied The west is in debt to the east in a sum of almost unnumbeied millions of dol lars, in the way of boriowed money, which money was boriowed in compara tively flush times This debt of the w est to the east is at present twice as great, f dollar foi dollar, as it w as w hen con- tiacted, because money being twice as scarce the debt is twice as hard to pay The eastern loaner, theiefoie, is not onl getting his contracted interest, but finds that the money due linn has t ice the value or pui chasing power that it had w hen he loaned it, and, desiring that it shall hold such enforced a alue until it is paid back, it becomes his interest to stienuously fight any and every proposi tion which promises to make money moie plenty and times easiei As the fiee coinage of silver would inevitably and directly enlarge the volume of the currency and make higher prices and advance the cunent pi ice of all kinds of property, especially in the debt ridden w est, the eastern cieditoi fights free coinage with a vehe mence piopoilionate to tho abnormal value of his ci edits Losing sight of the fact that, if free coinage was an accom plished fact, w ith money plentier and times easier, that his western debtor w ould be better enabled and more sure to pay his debt, principal and interest, promptly, he, in the narrow spirit of a Shylock, calls for not only the pound of flesh nominated in the bond, but for the life blood of his lctim It :s a nanow ness begotten of selfishness, only, w Inch causes the eastern creditor to blindly fight e cry pi oposition which promises L to help the pioducing west and, by reflex action the w hole eountiy. In this connection w o propose to add a fe thoughts in the w ay of suggestions rather th in declaiation3, touching tne mteiests of tho east and west, and of Kanas as a producing state, and eastern minufactuimg states, in the mattei of t iriff reform Taking the tai iff question and tho money question into the consid eration and has not the time come w hen in a fair and unprejudiced w a some sectional wiougs wheieby the west and tho southw est, including Kansas, as sufTereis, should be lighted We of this state must, at the proper time, bo Kan sans, and as Kansans foi Kansas we will now endeavoi to speak but will at pi es ent confine ourselves to the tanff and its effect upon our people and state. In the 1 iter w orkmgs of the piotective taiiff it appeals to tho inteiested western ob soiverthat theio is really no paiticulai pitrioti&m mvohed, but that it is lather a business matter, and which is quite .is much to the point, that iew alone is lecognized by the east or At lantic se iboard states whoso citizens it should be lemembeied are not largely new comers or emigrants, as w ith us, but aie mostly native boin, and trained fiom childhood to understand what is foi then political w ell being oi rather to undeistund how to use tho ballot m the pecuniary mteiests of their section, and to act almost as a unit m that interest on election daj By so doing they set the e imple foi Kansas, w ho w hen her m ki sts, aie bettei undeiatood bv her sons, l6th n itive and adopted, w ill look upon the tariff no longei as .ipalnotic meas nro, but as a mere matter of business, and by means of which neighborhoods, states and sections of our lepubhc seek to unpiove then condition In pi oof of this we have only to con sulei foi a moment that gie it protective and piotected community known .is the state of Pennsyh am i How does it happen that Randall, i Demociat and a long time leadei of his p.irt in the house of repiesentatnes, and Kelle, , a long time le ider of his pai ty m congiess, a Republican of Rcpuohcnns, weie both piotectiomstb and as such weie kept m congress foi life Is it to he pi esumed foi a moment that the st ite of Penns h ania made any mistake m keeping these able men in congiess to lepresent tint great commonwealth oi is it to be supposed theso men with nation d l epilations, in any sense w ere sent theio w ith the expectation that the would adocatc measures, equally as just to K insas, as profitable to Penns lvama oi that gratitude to that paity m Kansas forhei biippoit of the protective tariff and upon w Inch party the protected have engrafted tho alleged principle of pro tection will impel them to advocate mea&ures of lehef ftom the wiongs pro tection has inflicted0 As stated in the beginning, w e are patnotic, but desire to contiuuo patriot ism .is a sentiment that ought to benefit Kansas, our home, just as much and no more than it does Pens lvama or Xew England, Teos or California. It is found that the Democrats tho part of free trade, are quite indifferent about protected manufactoi ies m New England, but at the same timo are quite urgent in haimg the tariff peimit them to proem o the raw materials for their own manufactories, free. That is to sa, as Kansas, the west and the south west die piactically non-manufacturing sections, and are on tho other hand pro ducers, almost entirely of raw materi lis the patriotic taiiff experts of the land of the Rising Sun practically ask us to bum our candle at both ends, and fuinish an illustration so they may run their protected manufactories, double time, with free raw materials so they may sell to iu dear that w hich w e are compelled to buy of them, and at the same time buy cheaply tliat which is about all w e ha e to sell, raw materials We of Kansjis have aided m protecting Carnegie and a hundred other milhon auos in making their millions km the name of patriotism, and it is high time for us to consider whetlier atnotism which shall fairly benefit Kansas, the w est and the whole country equally, is not the patriotism of the patriotic. No true American that does not desire to see Amencan manufactures protected in their infancy; but now w e are in the ridiculous attitude of coddhng an infunt tw enty-five 3 ears old, and feeding pro tection pap w ith a spoon to an athelete But then the pap and the spoon aie digni fied w ith the name of protection, and Kansas is furnishing more than her just proportion of pap and spoons, still, since our eastern bi other calls it patriotism w e have been happy Is it not time that Kansas shall wake up and demand her full share ot the benefits, both of nation al legislation and of national appropria tions, alw ays acknow ledging equal obli gation to all other sections, but fiimly demanding even justice to Kansas' We think so. In the w ebb of experience into which has been w oven the w oof of leason alone wdl be found the texture that will stand the test of time and the wear of years. MEXICO'S ONE MAN. Poiflno Diaz, president of the Republic of Mexico, has done his country a great deal of patriotic service and has been elevated thiee times to the piesidential office, the better to serve her the con stitution of the lepubhc having been altered so as to allow him to succeed himself on the occation of his last can didacy. It is now stated that the constitution will again be alteied shoitly, and he will again be a candidate for re election. No matter v hat Duz. may have done foi Mexico, this habit of alteung the con stitution m deference to one man, must be exceedingly injurious to the eountiy foi it piesiipposes that the people aie de pendent upon one man, and no people can be called fiee and independent who are so dependent Ceitainh theie must be some one in. Mexico, besides Diaz, who is capable ot adnnnistei mg the government, and if the first thoughts of Dia7 are really for Mexico, and the gratification of his own ambition is a secondary consideration, he could best seive Mexico by allowing another candidate to be brought foi w aid, if only foi the piupose of educating the people up to the pioper degree of choos ing their officials Even an official much inferior to Diaz m ability and popul lnty could do little haim, while, no matter how superior his attainments miy be, the continual le election of Diaz to tho piesidency , in spite of tho constitution, makes him Mitually a dictatoi. GREAT THINGS AHEAD. The Dallas News has collected data from eveiy county in the state as to the piospects foi cotton and coin in Texas The j leld 111 these gi eat staples of the state pi onuses to be exceedinglv abun dant. Texa- has stepped to the fiont among the southern states.

The amount of the defalcation is placed at $310,000 An appeal to the state supreme court w as asked and granted The ac cused fiimly asserts Ins innocence of misappropriating one dollar of the state's moue,v to his ow n use or of know mgly diverting it or any part of it to any un authorized purpose He has an expert accountant now at work on the books and -vouchers of the treasurer s office and claims that he w ill be able to prove that he is not guiltv of the charge against him The sentiment of the community it is said, is a blank that is, neither ac cusing nor excusing the accused until he shall ha e had time to finish his search for the missing funds Mr Hemmgwav is brother to one of the supreme court justices of Arkansas, and is also prominently and extensively connected m Mississippi He wa treas urer of Mississippi for fifteen jears. When he was first elected he was a plain farmer and knew butlitdeof the modern methods of finance accounting An ex cepuonal feature in this now celebrated case is the fact that not one of lib friends has relaxed in loyalty or belief in hu honor and integrity. A dramatic -scene occurred at the ck-e of the trial. When the court asked the accused if he liad anything to say w by sentence should not be passed upon him, he stood np and remarked that he be lieved there was nothing necssa.ry for lum to say. The judge was about to proceed when Colonel Hemmgway in terrupted him and began a little talk of five or six minutes. He said he was not gudty, and had never taken the state's money, and time would prove his inno cence. He liad asked for tame but had not had enough, etc. Then review mg some statements made outside of the tes timony, he turned and remarked: "I may be sent to the penitentiary, and I may die there, and w hen I approach the judgment bar of God I may be sent to hell, but I trust I will never sink to the level of that man there'" pointing to Prosecutor 3Iiller. The scene was a pow erful one He then referred to certain charges made by Miller, and the judge pronounced a sentence of five years in the penitential y. Kansas City's tw o hundred and fifty thousand population is failing to materi alize by one hundred thousand. But a hundred thousand people will not be missed by so great a city, being a num ber that can be expressed by a figuie one and five naughts. In Hawaii the government reporter usually condenses the half hour speeches of members of the legislature into a few sentences It would be an interesting and exciting spectacle to see such a re porter wrestling with the speeches of some of the blatheiskites m our national legislature m their attempts to hoodw ink and mistify the public on some of the great economic questions of the day. The extraordinary heat of the post w eek has extended all over the country. Usually at this season the heat is more intense and moie fatal in its effects m the northern than in the southern states, but information fiom the south is to the efiectthat the heat has been unpiece dented, both m degree and m its effects It is hoped that the woi&t is past for this season Touching the census of the principal cities of Kansas, we grve the following figures as estimates, as appearing m ex changes, but it w ill be a w eek yet, prob ably, or more, befoie the true figures can be ascertained. 1S70 1SS0 1S90 K msis Citj , Kan . 4 000 14,000 40 000 Topeki .. o,740 15, 541 31,000 Wichita Atchison Liiwience Lcaciiwoith -0 4,911 25,050 7,054 13100 17,000 fc,320 S,5U 10 09.2 17.S-J7 10,530 20,457 Topek.a is disappointed, sorely, over hei failuie to show up the 50,000 popula tion she has been claiming so confidently e er since she fell upon tho scheme of scooping in the outlying additions to tho city that were spiead out pretty much ovei Shaw nee county, but a local enter prise into which she has thrown heiself bodily, is affoiding hei a dam site of encouragement, to use one of her favor ite teims.

A reporter of a Washington new spa per has discovered fiom a dealer in fem inine equipments that Washington women are adopting divided skirts. ' Only the othei week," he says, "two ladies of cabinet families bought them here I will ventuie to say that 500 w omen in this city are weai ing them to dav, and w lthm .1 yeai theie will be 0,000 ' With w omen adopting moie and more men s habihaments, and if we aio to believe pictuies of dudes published 111 comic papers, with mens clothing be coming more and more similar to ladies', it is only a question of time w hen the question will aiise as to which is tho mm The lowei house of the congiess hav ing run lough shod over the will and in terests of the great mass of the people m the matters of the taiiff and silver, that body is now preparing to repeat the pei formance on an alleged educational bill that is said to be fashioned after tho Bl nr monstrosity that w as strangled in the senate. Such proceedings is simply adding insult to injury. The popul.tr branch of the national legislature seems bent on sow mg to the w ind, but not more rapidlj than the people are treasuring up wrath When tho whnlwind comes w hat a day of wrath and overturning it will be A sort of tornado epidemic seems to have invaded many portions of the country during the past week One of the severest occurred at Gallatin, Tenn , Sunday e ening, lasting about ten min utes A church of the African Method ists w as blown to pieces and tho roof caved in on the congregation. Their sci earns, and cries could be heard a great distance Ten were taken from the debris, tw o so terrible crushed by the roof and falling timbers that they are dying Granville Brown, the minister, was badly crushed in the pulpit. The church was filled, and how any escaped is a miracle Gallatin's public school w as damaged by a part of the front blowing m, but the loss is not serious Fencing and trees were swept av ay by by the storm, and in many private resi dences carpets -were blown from thp floor and furniture smashed into kindling w ood. No other loss of lite is reported. The judiciarv committee of the hous has reported favorably a bill providing for fining and imprisoning any person w ho shall use the national flag, either by printing painting or otherw ise affixing on said flag or otherwise attaching to the same any advertisement for public display or private gam. The report goes on to elaborate over the emblem as a re minder ot American fortitude, courage and heroism. While it is true that tlie flag should be held cred, this does not imply that w e are to hide it away m some temple, as the Hindu his idol. It fc bright and gay. II its stars and stripes are xted as attractions in advertiemento, it shows an admiration for our national emblem on the part of the advertiser rather than any inclination to deface it Thousands and thousands of tlage are demolished by our American youth 011 Independence day annually. Would the judiciary committee arraign our boys for their frolics on tne Fourth of July? SUNFLOWER SHIMMER. It is a great wonder that some of the prohibition organs have not presumed so far as to designate the jim-jams as supreme court snakes Some papers claim that the only thing suggestive of water about Prohibitionist Troutman, of Topeka, is the first syllable of his name While there is a half dozen or more as pirants for his place, Sam Peters has not yet given a public intimation of what promotion he is to secure Ira Collins has his pole away up m the branches of the persimmons tree of the First district and he is standing on the shoulders of the GAR Clark county didn't ha e any local can didates for the congressional nomination, but it didn't take it long to decide on w hat outside candidates deser ed its support.
