Vote against the proposition to sell
the county court hocse site. This 13 no
time to sell one of the fluest corners in

at present might be almost equivalent to
throwing money awi.y.
Reoardlkss, of th fact that since re
ciprocity was establUhed with Brazil the
balance of trade has been largely in
favor of that country, it is reported that
the Brazilian government will withdraw
from the agreement the first of the year.
As a result of this report Hour and other
United States produc ts are being shipped
to the ports of our southern sister in ex
traordinarily large quantities. Recip
rocity doesn't seen to have proved popu
lar with either government
Mr. 8. 31. Scott really owes it to him
self and to his par.y to learn how to
speak the English language. His gram
matical errors are painful. There is no
excuse for a public speaker of three or
four years experience to make such er
ror. It ought not to take an ordinarily
intelligent man more than six weeks to
learn enough of grammar to make
his speeches passable. We give Mr.
Scott credit for having a great
deal of what is called gumption. He ap
Xears to have common sense and energy.
A few weeks' application of his common
sense and energy to the English lan
guage would make his speeches pass
muster. He ough: to stop saying I
done it," "I haven't saw," "They had
went," "They tell you and I," "The
women is," etc. IX es he w ant to repeat
the "Where am I at" episode, should he
go to congress? B at he will not go.
The Democratic caucus of the Geor
gia legislature has nominated two candi
dates for the United States senate.
Patrick Walsh, who is serving by ap
pointment the unexpired term of the late
Senator Colquitt, was nominated for the
balance of the term. Augustus O. Bacon
was nominated for the full term. Both
received good majorities and will doubt
less be elected. Their election will be a
clear defeat of the friends of the Cleve
land administration, aa both men are
pronounced free sil er men, and the con
tost turned entirely on that issne. The
friends of silver had a majority of
nearly three to or e in the caucus. .No
amount of pounding of this kind, how
ever, seems to affeot llr. Cleveland or
t ie Deaiocratio managers. It is doubt
f al if even the prcverbial brick house
would disturb the equanimity of the pres
ident. He owes a debt to Wall street
for his election, and he means to pay it
if it bankrupts not anly the Democratic
party, bat tha at.re country besides.
j The only hope for silver while he is
president is to elect a snr'icieot number
of congressmen and senators t pass a
coinage bill without the signatur of the
president The present outlook for such
a result is excellent. Georgia seems in
a fair way to do its share.
THE LAST CALL.
The efforts of the Shawnee Republi
cans in Saturday's parades and demon
strations brought out the tremendous Re
publican sentiment which exists in this
community.
The important Kan&as battle tomorrow
is for the state, congressional and legis
lative tickets, together with the inde
pendent issue on woman's suffrage. The
Democrats have done nothing to deserve
endorsement, ani much to merit rebuko.
The Populists hve developed a wonder
ful harvest of incompetency aad cor
ruption, and tomorrow's votes should turn
them out of the field which they have
been cultivating for their own use rathtr
than for the benefit of the people and
the state.
All Republicans, whether or not fully
satisfied with the situation, can afford to
cast no vote that will encourage the pres
ent administration. Turn down the Pop
ulists and Democrats. In the line of
progress and justice the stata should,
tomorrow, give the EtuenJmttut a large
majority.
This district never had a mora faithful
congressman than Charley Curtis. lie
should be given a big endorsement. The
bigger his majority -the greater will te
hia influence for his constituents.
THE LEGISLATURE.
T7iT) three Republican candidates for
the legislature in this county bre men
particularly well qualified for tiie posi
tions for which they are candidates.
A. C Sherman the candidate in the
Thirty-fifth representative district, north
of the river was a member of the famous
Douglass house and ho expects to be
elected by 700 majority.
George W. Veale the candidate in the
Thirty-sixth district which includes the
Second, Third and Fourth wards of the
city has been in the legislature many
times and through his experience is one
of the best men in the city for that posi
tion. S. M. Gardenhire, the candidate in the
Thirty-seventy district, the south district
which includes the south half of the
county and the Fifth ward, will be a new
man in the legislature, but he has had
wide public experience aud as a county
officer has been a faithful public servant.
He will fill with credit the seat occu
pied tt the last House by James A. Trout
man, the Republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor.
Shawnee will do its full share towards
making the next legislature Republican.
THE COUNTY TICKET.
The Republicans of Shawnee county
have decidedly the best ticket in the
field to vote fcr local offices at tomor
row's election.
J. G. Wood, the candid.e for probate
judge, is one of the bert known rcen in
the county. He has ebility and experi
ence to fill the office to which he will be
elected, with satisfaction.
E. 11. Ccckreil, the candidate for clerk
of the district court, is at present in
charge of the records of the Shawnee
county circuit court, and is regarded as a
valuable man in connection with the
county courts. He will not run behind
his ticket.
County Attorney II. C. Safford. who has
filled the office for which he is a candi
date for re-election, will get a good vote,
probably run ahead of his ticker,
W. IL Wright has been county super
intendent two years, and he will be elect
ed by a big majority.
For county commissioner T. I'. Rod
gers, the Republican nominee, is sure of
election. The very large vote he re
ceived at the nominating primaries
makes it certain that ho will have a
large majority.
Hesrt B. Blackwei.l, the well known
advocate of woman suffrage of Boston,
sends up the following interesting com
munication: To the Editor of the Sta rE Jocilv.w.:
Every citizen of Kansas is interested
in her material welfare. Increased busi
ness prosperity is a legitimate political
consideration.
The adoption of the woman suffrage
amendment will greatly promote hnuii
gration. It will bring thousands of fam
ilies to Kansas who will otherwise re
main at home or go elsewhere. The
people who believe in equal sulfrage jre
now numbered by tens of thousands in
every state north of Masou and Dixon's
line. They are among the mot intelli
gent, enterprising and progressive of our
population. At home they have to con
tend with conservatism entrenched in
monopoly, and would giadly jo;a a com
munity which has shown its iiUeraLty
and appreciation of sell respecting and
public-spirited women.
From a wide acquaintance, as editor of
the Woman's JjurnaL, with this class of
our people from Maine to the Mississip
pi, I predict for Kansas, as a result of the
adoption of the equal suifraa constitu
tional amendment, an era of unequalled
prosperity and progress. This is a con
sideration which should not be over
looked. A generous, large-hearted
fidelity to the principles of representa
tive government will, in this Ciise, prove
in the highest degree beiietci.il to the
moral and material interests of your
magnificat state, which in climate, toil
and society is already superior to almost
any other. graat movement ever
grew as fast. In lbt37 wciiun voted
nowhere. Next week in Colorado 6J,)00
women will vote; in Wyoming odjOOJ; in
Illinois 60,000; in Chicago aioae UO.000;
in Massachusetts 20.0tH).
Kansas has always been true to free
dom. It is bei mission to leal her less
progressive sisters. Let her take her
stand next week beside Wyoming nd
Colorado. Hesht B. KiACKWiti,
Boston, Mass., Oct. ,10, 1394.

TO SATE THE WOMEN.
A. Home to Be Started, for
Unfortunates.
WOMEN TO BE IN CHARGE.
Prominent Citizen Who Are Lending
Xlieir Influence to Che Project.
There is a well developed plan to erect
a home in Kansas for women that have
departed from the more respectable
walks of life. It is to be known as the
Kansas Women's Industrial home.
The idea is not a new one. It was in
augurated by Mrs. A. G. Lord more than
two years ago, but an appropriation from
the state was made impossible by the
legislative '"war" of that time and it be
came necessary to postpone the matter
till the next meeting of the legislature in
13y.j.
The idea is to establish a home for
fallen women of all kinds. Women that
commit theft are as eligible as those that
are arrested for disorderly conduct, and
for all crimes except murder. The in
stitution is to be educational, industrial
and reformatory. Besides the legislative
appropriation there will be a change in
the police laws that will empower a po
lice judge to commit to this home wo
men, rather than to send them to jail
where they will be kept in idleness.
There are to be three grades of the crim
inal classes and they will not be allowed
together;the whites and the blacks will be
kept separate and all departments of the
institution will be governed by women
exclusively. The court will not commit
for any specified length of time, but the
women in charge will be obliged to
judge for themselves as to the time that
a prisoner shall be released. She may
be released at the option of the presi
dent, superintendent or board on proba
tion and dismissed at the pleasure of the
same authorities. The idea ia to educate
the inmate in some one of the useful
walks of life before she is allowed to go
and also reform her so she will not go
back to her old life from choice.
Mrs. A. G. Lord is president of the
society and Dr. Ida C. Barnes is the sec
retary. The original promoters were
Bishop W. X. Kinde, R. B. Welch, Mrs.
W. X. Xinde, T. F. Garver of Salina,
Deborah Longshore, M. D., J. H. Lock
wood, D. D. of Salina, Mrs. Margret II.
McCarter, J. W. Gardiner, Mrs. J. D. Ela,
J. R. Mulvane, Mrs. Blanche Windsor, P
I. Bonebrake and Samuel T. Howe.
Mr. and Mrs. Xinde aud Mrs. Windsor
have since removed from the state.
Over twelve hundred persons, many of
them prominent in the state, have signed
the following petition:
To the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
We, the undersigned citizens of
county, Kansas, recognizing the defects
of the present laws of the state, concern
ing many criminal offeuse9 of women,
and the total absence of any provision
for their reformation, and realizing the
great need of legislation, which shall
make special and adequate provision for
a state reformatory for women over the
age of sixteen, to which they may be
committed when found guilty of certain
offenses, with ia vew to their moral re
formation, instead of being sent to the
jails or penitentiary, or simply paying a
line aud pursuing their former life of
crime; and recommending for considera
tion the marked success of women's re
formatories established in other states;
we, therefore, respectfully petition the
senate and the house of representatives
to enact such laws upon the subject as
will correct the evils of the present sys
tem, and make ample provision for the
establishment of an institution of the
character herein suggested.
Only girls over the age of sixteen will
be admitted.
The amount that will be asked of the
legislature for the building has not yet
been agreed upon but it has been spoken
of by Mrs. Lord as $ 35,000. The loca
tion has not yet been decided on.
Xo limitation as to the number of in
mates has been made. The furniture of
the old waifs' home has been donated to
this prospective institution.
The following is the explanatory cir
cular that was addressed to the citizens
of Kansas:
"Attention is called to the following
defects in the laws of the state, in regard
to provision made for certain criminal
offenses of women, .vith a view to the
reformation of the same. Under the
present system, a woman committed to
jail for certain offenses serves her time
in idleness, or pays a tine and leaves the
prison walls and usually returns to her
former life of crime.
"Her life results in repeated incarcera
tions by which she is hardened and de
based; an outcast from society, no incen
tives are presented for a return to a bet
ter life. Xo provision is made by the
state for employment in the jails, or for
moral culture during retention.
"Xo provision is made for aiding the
out-going prisoner in obtaining a posi
tion where reputation and character may
be regained.
"There is no need of reminding the
public how much more helpless woman
is than man under the same circumstan
ces. "It seems absolutely essential to es
tablish a reformatory, with a graded sys
tem, where all women over sixteen years
of age, guilty of certain crimes may be
committed, under such regulations as
may be most conducive to their refor
mation and encouragement to the lead
ine of better lives.
"It is the aim of the friends of ihe
movement to have the institution as far
as possible, under the immediate super
vision of women as officers and attend
ants, special provision being made for
training in industrial art3, and for intel
lectual and moral culture.
"Whenever satisfactory evidences of
moral reform are manifested, in the judg
ment of the authorities of the ref irina
tory, they may suspend sentence, on con
ditions named, and secure the prison r a
situation that will afford an opportunity
to build up character and reformation.
"Attention is called to the fact that in
stitutions of like nature, notably in Sher
born, Mass., and Hudson, X. Y., are doing
a work similar in character to that prc
prosed for the Kansas reformatory, and
are eminently successful.
"For the good of the criminal classes,
as well as for the protection of society,
the Woman's reformatory becomes an
absolute necessity ia the state of Kansas."
Bktweks fifty and sixty Chinese have
become naturalized and are registered in
San Francisco for the purpose of voting
at the approaching election and yet there
are a few people who oppose extending
the right of suffrage to women.

HOW TIIE DEBT GROWS.
The treasury statement just issued,
shows an increase of the public debt
during the month of October of $13,-
680,854. The expenditures ol me gov
ernment have been in excess of the re
ceipts almost every month since the
Democratic party took charge of affairs.
If this rate of increase in our obligations
continues it will not take a great while
to reach the figures which prevailed
shortly after the close of the war. This
is not the worst feature of the case how
ever. Debts are much harder to pay
now than they were twenty-five years
ago. A half bushel of wheat would pay
a "dollar of debt then; now it requires
four half bushels. Ten pounds of pork
would pay a dollar of debt then, while it
takes twenty pounds now. A day's work
of a common laborer would liquidate two
dollars of indebtedness then, now it mi,
pay but one dollar and it is not so easily
obtained even at that. So it will be
seen that an increase of thirteen mii-ion
dollars in the public debt at this time
means to the people who must pay it, as
much as an increase of twenty-six mil
lions did a quarter of a century ago.
The Democratic party not satisfied with
robbing the people of one-half of their
circulating medium, thus lessening their
ability to pay what they already owe,
seems determined to go on increasing
the burdens of debt at the same time.
What encouragement have the people
to pay off their private indebtedness
when their servants are running them in
debt in other quarters all the time?
What is to be done?.
Manifestly the first thing ia to dis
charge the unfaithful servants and that
it is believed they will do in a great
measure tomorrow. But even then noth
ing can be done under a year and at the
present rate of increase that means 130
million dollars more debt If the people
should fail to vote for their own interest
this fall the consequences are too dread
ful to contemplate.
