LIBERTY OR DEATH.
This is Liberty Day. The price of
Liberty is Eternal Vigilance. Keep
your eye on the Bank of England. It
it intrenched on the Thames and its
biggest guns are trained on the people
of these United States. The crown
of its empress having failed with pow
der and lead to conquer us with an
army dispatched in fleets of the long
ago, now seeks to subdue by that power
with which she holds in subjection a
chain of lands that encircle the world.
What it cannot capture by the force
of arms it buys with gold. The Bank
of England, which means the British
government, commands an army which
in being ever silent never sleeps, ex
cept by continental divisions. Irs
garrisons and squadrons are cvery
whre; its flying flotillas are upon every
sea, its platoons and legions are under
every sun where there are banks or
commerce or industrial life. Its co
horts menace and lays tribute on the
millions of India, on the children of
Africa and on the plodding survivors
of the historic Nile, alike. The newest
continent to civilization, Australia, be
longs to its crown, and half of our
own fair continent composes but a
Dominion of Provinces which she rules.
It is a grasping power that knows no
Orient, no Occident, only gold, gold
and the profit of th labor of every
land.
John Adams with his dying words
breathed the sentiments of the signers
of th Declaration of Independence, the
heroes of Valley Forge and Bunker
Hill, and of the -patriots who drafted
the constitution, as well as prophet
ically voiced the convictions of the
patriots of today in: "Independence
2'ow and Independence Forever."
So as Old Glory floats over you to
day keep you eye on the Bank of Eng
land. Though intrenched along the
banks of the Thames its emmissaries
and engineers, its sappers and miners
are everywhere, wherever there is a
dollar to nip or a coupon to clip. Its
heaviest battery, outside of its Lom
bard intrenehment, London, is Wall
street, New York, within which for
fended bulwark, supported right and
left, rear and front by corporation
companies, monopoly-divisions and
bank-reserves, it in ceaselessly pound
ing congresses and courts, dismantling
home and cot, levies tribute upon every
farm and shop, and grows drunk on
the sweat of honest toil.
Remember Thomas Jefferson, as he
stood up in Independence Hall readnig
the immortal instrument of this Day
wo celebrate, and Francis Key and the
Star Spangled Banner, and ho who
sang "My Country 'tis of Thee, Sweet
Land of Liberty," and Yorktown and
the National Capital as It was under
British fire and in ashes, in 1S12
and all their concurrent victories, but
keep your cyo on the Bank of Eng
land which in owning all our things
and men and money may not own us
also.
CONFESS-NOW IS THE TIME.
Has an era of confession struck us?
Is truth rising again? Nationally our
life has become false. In the halls of
the Temple of Injustice, on the stone
floors of the deepest dungeons thereof,
the Princess Good, the Prince True and
the Heir Aparent Beautiful, lie pros
trate. And ever anon, with prodig
ious noise King Fake, usurper and ty
rant, strolls in and sets his pegged heel
on tho neck of the fallen trio.
We have all felt sympathy for Prin
cess Good, Prince True and Heir Ap
parent Beautiful, but King Fake has
cowed us. smothering every good motive
within us by a tremendous and obstrep
erous show of widespread power.
But truth in its mightiness will pre
vail. The Princess Good and the
Prince True and the neir Apparent
Beautiful are not jumping to their feet
and swiping King Fake between the
eyes. But they are getting up.
And King Fake's helping them to their
feet. King Fane has suffered a twinge
in his consience. He is repenting and
confessing.
A week ago an Arkansas City min
ister publicly confesses his guilt. Less
than a week ago Melbourne, the rain
maker, came out and acknowledged
that he was a humbug. Not many days
ago a young editor in Kansas confessed
that he was sore, and that he was sore
because he wanted office and did not
get it
The fact that it is not significant is
as worthless as skates on the Fourth
of July iu Africa. This fact is signifi
cant If truth is niichty and will pre
vail the only channel of recovery open
to it is through the confession of fraud
and guilt
If the fever spreads the country may
witness an extraordinary series of con
fession. In literature the Browning clubs
come forward aud, in humble sup
pllance. confess that Brownlnc never
wrote any poetry; that his -greatest
works, which they have professed to
admire for years, are nothing but wads
of minced dictionary. Nordau, the
author who blames the whole world
with degeneration, will come out and
acknowledge that he wrote the charge
of degeneration against the other
writers in order to make money him
self, and consequently is the most de
generated of the lor.
In art the Beardsleyisis will acknowl
ege that they do not admire Beardsley's
dra wings. They will confess that ihoc
frightful contortions, with a name
under them, are images transferred
from a mind that miscued in early
youth, and superinduced at a later
period 61 life by the deleriuni tremens.
In music the Wagner lunatics will
tramp up lo the bar of public opinion
and confess that they see nothing !
Wagner to admire or reverence; that
his niiifcic is not music u a'l. war. not
intende for music; will never be music,
and that it was the output of a spav
ined variety of blind-staggers insanity.
Also will come the Paderewski cranks
and confess that Pad. cannot play the
piano at all that he simply hits the
keys at random and applause does the
rest
In the business world we will see a
long procession ready to ease their
guilty souls. Among them will be the
merchant who sells goods at less than
cost; the gentleman who has a fire sale
every time the floor-walker steps on a
match; the typewriter manufacturers
who announce daily that there is only
one durable typewriter on the market;
the circulating liars of the newspapers;
the baking powder men; also the "only
and best" makers of yeast; also "from
measles to consumption" patent medi
cine men; and the "gum good for the
digestion" testimonial writer.
And after most all the world has
been forward, the way will be cleared
and a dead silence will fall and with a
low, lugburious tone the spectators will
be asked to stand back and make room
for thp politicians. They will all be
there; the men who have made false
promises; the men who have betrayed
friends; the men who have docked
fcubordinates; the men who have charg
ed double mileage; the men who have
sold their votes; the men who have
sold themselves; the men who have
sold their constituents, and the men
in Washington who have sold the na
tion. And across the ocean tho Rothschilds
will confess their long reign of grind
ing, grasping, griping greed, aud, with
Knv-bung head and penitent humility,
throw their vast possessions Into the
sea but, no, that is going a little bit
too far.
THE ILLEGITIMATE WAIF.
Travel seems to have broadened
the views and enlarged the heart of
Miss Francis Willard. Her concep
tions of God seem to have, grown apace
and the chances of His children, in
her estimation, to have improved. Her
declaration is true that the time when
It was held that intemperance was the
cause of poverty had completed its
circuit and now it is known that much
of the intemperance of the present is
caused by poverty. "In the slums they
drink to forget," said Miss Williard in
her London address. But Miss Williard
in true courage rose superior to her
sex and to half of the men of the world,
when in speaking of the wrongs of
woman and the proscribed child, she
asserted that "another phrase that we
must chase out of tho dictionary of
common speech with a scourge of small
cords is the phrase 'an illegitimate
child.' No such child was ever born.
Every child that has appeader on this
sphere came here in the direct line
of those natural laws which are laws
of God, and are perfectly legitimate.
I even dare to hope that the mother of
one of these poor little waifs, as Ave
are wont to call them, is made in some
sacred sense 'legitimate by the awful
sacrament of pain and shame that she
endures. The only illegitimate factor
in tho problem is the father, who
braves neither physical suffering nor
legal penalty, who is pillowed in peace
and comfort while hhe, who by the
laws of nature and God should, in
this hour of her Immeasurable need,
have been surrounded by his love and
sentineled by his protection, is left in
the night of her agony, with no eye to
pity, and no arm to save."
THE FARMER'S EAR FOR A MINUTE.
Secretary Morton of the department
of agriculture, wrote to Clerk Grant
of Norton county, for the condition of
crops in that section. If this report
had been sent, it would have become
part of a vast report the government
publishes relative to the exact condi
tion of the agricultural products of the
country. This table is compiled and
publbhed. It has a great deal to do
with the fluctuation of prices on the
boards of trade in the country. The
corn crop iu Kansas looks very fine.
An estimate of the likely yield, to be
commensurate with the average Kan
san's expectation, would cause the
price of corn on th Chicago Board of
Trade to drop like a fat man out of a
third-story window.
Mr. Grant refused to send an esti
mate. H Informed Secretary Morton
that he was not in favor of the skinnod
giving further information to the skin
ners, to be used in further skinning
the skinned.
From this it will be seen that he Kan
sas farming community is fast rising
to a high diplomatic plane. Aud If
there is diplomacy in international gov
ernment why not diplomacy between
the nation of farmers and the nation
of grain gamblers?
When it becomes necessary for the
Chicago Beard of Trade to have figures
on the growing crops, let them send
out a legation to the state of which
figures are required. Let them wear
gold cord and embroidered breeches.
On the other side let the fanners ap
point a diplomatic commission. The
farmers should ri? themselves up in
scarlet vests and stick a rooster feather
or two in their hats and meet the lega
tion from the Board of Trade. Evry
thiuc should he carried on with tho
greatest dignity. The French lan
guage ihould be used exclusively in the
conference. The French lanuuago is
the diplomatic language of the world
and serves the purpose of allowing
both slides to lie to the other fellows
without blushing outright The Kan
sas farmer will find that he can say
that he will raise only five bushels
of corn to the icre, and, by using the
French language, never feel the least
guilt
After several very dicnifid speeches
have been made on both sides, the con
ference should then adjourn for three
months. All this time the srovernnient
should be paying the expenses of the
whole business, with a lot of clerks
to boot After three months, the diplo
matic conference should resume. It,
needn't do anything at all but smoke
cigars and look like something was
weighing on its mind. It should also
be careful to presreve great seerecy.
The newspapers will break their necks
to find out what the diplomatic confer
ence has done. But as it litis done
nothing at all the newspapers will find
out nothing.
After a two day's session the diplo
matic conference should then adjourn.
By this time the nation will be shocked
by the sensational news that the Board
of Trade has sent out a body of spies
to count the corn stalks at night This
will prove to be the case. They will
find an immense corn crop in Kansas.
Tho price of corn will slump. The
diplomatic incident will then close. The
farmers will demand an indemnity
from the Board of Trade because the
information was not secured through
the French language and diplomatic
channels.
That is the way the nations of the
world deal with one another, and the
evil has begun to creep into our private
national affairs. One American be
lieves in silver, and another in gold.
They are asked to settle the matter by
a diplomatic international conference.
Why not settle our crop statistics the
same way?
BOUND TO BE HEARD.
The publisher, or some one else, per
sists in sending us marked copies of the
New York Voice. The marked articles,
as a rule, prtain to Kansas and seldom
fail of being bold-faced lies. As Rev
Milner and other Prohibitionists only
lest week denounced the Voice we have
no farther or possible Interest In it and
we hope no more postage will be
wasted on us. If there Is a rum
soaked city in America more pre-eminent
for its Bacchanalian life than an
other, ic is the home of this same howl
ing Voice, whose proprietors seem to
play the gudgeeons of real temperance
states for support. The Voice is a
great paper in the eyes of Its ad
mirers, no doubt The name of the
head of the firm Is Funk, his front name
presumably being Peter. However
that may be that paper eternally harps
the one thing. In its last issue the
declaration is made that Vassar college
was founded on the proceeds of a
brewery. There is nothing good any
where outside of New York, iu the
estimation of the Voice, which winds
up an editorial on Kansas prohibition
by asserting that the only hope of suc
cess is in a national anti-saloon party.
This spurt was evidently made while
its editor for the moment forgot his
neighbor Grover C. and his big national
deficit, In spite of the millions of rev
enue from the whiskey traffic.
THE PEST IN POLITICS.
If anybody in this world is of less
use than the cock-roach or the house
fly in domestic economy it is the advo
cato of isms iu politics. By advocate
we mean tho leader or agitator who
constitutes himself the representative
of some so-called reform or fako to
which he gives a political twist and
then proceeds to harangue the public
wherever he can get an audience. His
reform is often as foreign to politics as
to the truth, but he never fails to tack
it on to the campaign at vote-getting
time. Singularly enough too, he is
always a candidate. His promotion,
he holds, is indispensable to the suc
cessful working of his scheme for regu
lating the order of things. He blows
for reform, aud strikes for himself,
and sometimes carries off a prize. Of
course, ho is unfitted for public ser
vice, and, sooner or later his fake flat
tens out, but what cares he? He is
an ex-judgo or ex-governor or a brevet
ed simpleton with some civic title to
which he is no more entitled than a
street beggar. He is the tramp in pol
itics, a menace to good morals and a
constant disturber of the peace of so
ciety. He, or rather she, is the crow
ing hen who would rather be heard in
public than to be loved and honored in
the sweet domestic relation. He is
the strutting, cackling bantam rooster
who, with much display, scratches for
wonus only to fill his own gizzard.
ne is neither ornamental nor useful,
and altogether too small for a respect
able political pot-pie, hence the pest in
politics, so like the fly and the cock
roach in the household. He descends
sometimes from the useful avocations,
but for the most part he is, or has been,
a briefless lawyer, or a preacher with
personal aspirations out of proportion
to his love of sinners. Who does not
recognize him in the band of agitators
now harangueing tho public at every
cross-roads?
The observer of events knows th at
reforms in government are not born in
a day. Neither arc they invented or
promulgated by individual effort They
come mther as the sequence of popular
demand. They are tho outgrowth of
sentiment which no man can change.
For all practical purposes a simple di
vision of sentiment on all questions is
suffiient A pro and a con represents
the right or the wrong, according to the
view taken or tho interests involved.
There were radical differences on the
merits of slavery in this country. There
were those who believed in It upon
ethical and moral grounds. They
taught it, they fought for it and died
for it but public sentiment had sealed
Its fate in advance. Neither the
chivalry, the wealth nor the prestige
of the south could stand against it.
The edict had gone forth and slavery
died at tho hands of the indignant ma
jority. This majority constituted a
great national party. The minority
represented another.
The masses remain divided today on
all popular Issues. Within the two
leading ianjes there is room for every
voter to make a choice. There is no
call for fads or fakes. There is no
demand for the blatant reformer out
of a job, and seeking his own promo
tion. IN A HOLS.

he outlined, in an Interview, his Idea
of the situation. -The Republican,"
he said, "have got the house, the Popu
lists have the balance of power in the
senate, and Grover Cleveland Is in the
White House- How, in heaven's name,
can anything be done in the next con
gress, except to pass appropriation
bills?" The only addition which can
be sugegsted to this platform in order
to make it ideally perfect is that the
appropriation bills should appropriate
as little as possible. Between the
tariff agitation and a shortage on cur
rency the country has been prostrated
in business, in Improvements and In
every conceivable enterprise, for some
time, but as Joe Cannon puts It things
are inevitably tied up and in a hole.
Judge Miller of the District of Col
umbia, has spoiled his chances for
honorary mmbership in the Advanced
Woman's club. Recently a man was
brought before this staid dispenser of
justice, accused of having "spanked"
his wife. He had returned from work
to find no dinner and no wife, the
latter having gone to a temperance
meeting. This circumstance filled the
hungry husband with a jag of wrath
and a row and a blow followed. The
solemn old judge, after hearing the
evidence, delivered himslf thus: "Take
this man's personal bonds, and you,
woman, go home, and temperance
meetings or no temperance meetings,
have your husband's dinner ready
when he wants it"
The editor of the Topeka Capital
seems to have become interested In
the Eagle. His admission that he
finds its short editorial paragraphs
not only passable but excelling, should
encourage him to renewed efforts for
the mastery of its more pretentious
productions, which he will find a mine
of wealth and wisdom for him who iu
reading shall maintain a comprehen
sive grasp. The financial question is a
perplexing one, for which reason lead
ing editors should seek all to thorough
ly comprehend it
We wonder what has become of the
$32,000,000 of gold which tho Shylock
syndicate was to import from Europe

Mrs. Ida Buxton Cale, prominent

and dissensions God gave them a
woman Deborah to judge them; she
ruled over them for forty years, and

County Clerk Grant of Norton county,
Kansas, refused to give up farming
statistics. Mr. Grant holds that the
farming business should be kept secret
and besides he has no use for the pres
ent Democratic administration, any
way. In this state McKinley said: "I am
proud of Kansas." In Illinois he said:
"I am proud of Illinois." In Indiana
he varies the remark. It would be in
teresting to know how he would start

"It was in Governor Foster's time as
