Frank E. Feiat, East Side. is en every spper. Pitcher's Castoria. rill id an open question I venture to mention some things that ought to be kept in mind.

When the governor was canvassing far votes two years ago he said that the first duty of every citizen was obedl nee to law, and of every officer to keep his c.ath of office. How unfair Mr. has been in enforcing the prohibitory law is notorious. I neei not specify the places where the law is nullified, and a 6vstem of black mailing practised for revenue that is utterly demoralizing and subersive of respect for all law. a result Mr.

Morrill stands condemned by every synod, association or conference that has spoken cut on tbe Bubject. YVe submit egain that many who keep quiet, but vote their convictions, are utterly disgusted with the conduct of the present administration. If Mr. Morrill Is renominated they will be heard irom. As compared with the Le well in regime, many traveling men tell me that join: are increasing and nulliGcition- of the prohibitory law more tieSant than during the last ad-ministtatlon.

The republican party has always stood for the enforcement of law. atid to go back on its record now invites and deserves defeat. To endorse Mr. Morrill is to give the lie to former declarations. Mr.

Morrill has grievously disap-in ioied the temperance element of his party and by some very unhappy remarks in reference to preachers and cburotus has alienated the support of 4nv who were his most earnest and efficient supporters. To count on the suDport of the churches and temperance people, if Mr. Morrill is nominated, is to assume that God and conscience is dead I say there things regretfully and in doing so voice the sentiments of mitny of my brethren of all the churches wl share in the bitter dis appointment. Mr. Morrill they Zaav has given us a business administration; saved the state in expenses, which thing he ought to have done and not left the other un done.

But money is not the only cin-sideration. Loyalty to law is of su preme importance and to permit law lessness is to increase taxes. To take fines from jointists as blackmail and 'or revenue may save some rich men a few dollars in tuxes, but imposes an awful burden upon the victims of rum and poverty to many otherwise happy homes. If Mr. Morrill is guiltless in this matter, let him be renominated, but if not, let his party beware.

J. E. BRANT. A Hint for Wives. A certain married woman of Woon socket, K.

sat up until midnight the other night watching for her husband to come home, and thinking up some ap propriate remarks to make upon his arrival. When at last 6he was tired out she went to her room, where she found her husband in bed fast asleep. The wife, instead of apologizing for the in- i 3Lx i uatiuc bug lima uvuts uer uiiuveaiuus1 band, refused to speak to him at all, and up to the time of the latest report she continued to treat him with cruel cold ness. The Eccheser Union makes this domestic episode the text of severe com mentary on the proneness of wives to jump to hasty conclusions concerning the whereabouts of husbands at night, and suggests that, before they sit up until late hours with injurious thoughts, they search the house thoroughly. The poor man may be peacefully sleeping on the premises all the time in bed, or, under the table, or somewhere.

Some times browbeaten husbands are forced to take refuge under beds, like the poor gentleman who declared to his wife, who was searching for him with broomstick and bidding him come forth So long as I have the spirit of a man, madam, I shall not come out from under this bed." The investigators whose names ap pear in the newspapers- connection witn lioentgen ray experiments are a deal bothered by applications from people who imagine they have bullets or other unpleasant foreign substances in various parts of their anatomy. The story goes, says a Cleveland exchange. that not long ago a certain local scien tist received the following letter: "Dear Sir: I have had a bullet in my thorax for seven years. I am too busy to come to Cleveland, but hope you will be able to come down here and lo cate the bullet, as I am sure the case is worth your while. If you can't come yourself send youv apparatus and will get one of the doctors here to use it.

Yours truly." Here is the local man's reply: "Dear Sir: Very sorry I cannot find time to visit vou. nor will I be able to send my apparatus. If you can't come to Cleveland yourself send me your thorax by express and I will do the best I can with it. Yours truly." Ex-Mayor Archie Tatman, of Ba-tavia, died the other day as a result of swallowing down false teeth. He had been sick for three weeks and the teeth passed into his throat while un conscious from a faint shock, and the struggle hastened his death.

Several prominent citizens of Charles- town, have urged that the Bunk hill monument should be illuminated with electricity, but the idea does not meet with popular favor. Seems as if con sumption always picks out the bright est and best. Fully one-sixth of all the deaths that occur in the world are caused by consumption Many things were once considered im oossible. It would be strantre if med science did not make some progress. The telegraph and telephone, the phonograph, the electric light-all were once impossible, and once it was impossible to cure consumption.

That was before the time of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. Taken according to directions, this standard remedy will cure 98 per cent, ot all cases of consumption, consumption is caused and fostered by imparity in the blood. It is cared by parity and richness of the blood sorely, certainly cured by the "Medical Discovery." It build's up solid nealtny nesn and vigorous strength. Dr.

THE MONEY QUESTION. 'Recognlziog that the money question is paramount to all others at thi time we invite attention to the fact that the federal constitution Dimes silver and gold as the monoy metals of tht United Staes and that the first coin ige law passed by Congress under the constitution mide the silver dollar the monetary unit, and admitte 1 gold to free coin age at a ratio based upon the silver unit.

THE M'KINLEY LAW DENOUNCED. We hold that tariff duties shou be levied for purposes of revenue, suoh duties to be so adjusted as to operate equally throughout the country and not discriminate between class or soo ion and that taxation should be limited by' the needs of the government, honestly and economically administered. We denouh as di turbing to business the Republican threat to restore the McKinley law, whfoh has be in twice condoned by the peop'e in national elections, and which, enacted undr tin false plea of protection to horn industry, provid a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriotie 1 the few at the expense of th many, restricts! trideani deprive! the produsers of the great American step's of access to their natural markets.

Bland has been working for silver all bis Ufa but he was objectionable to the populis'a and weot down. Poor old Silver Dick! Defeated for congress a republican and now de feared by a populist for the nomination for the pt esidency in a democratic con ventloo.

The nomination of Bryan insures the el ctlon of McKIn'ey. The populists will be compelled 6lther to endorse Bryan or nominate some other western man and in either case the republicans will win. A Topeka man committed suicide this week and Id the note left for his wife stated as a reason for the rash act that he was so "everlasting bashful." Ha must have felt very lonesome in Topeka. The present tariff law was enacted by the democrats and it is not surprising that they desire to have it remain as it is, but the people who have seen and experienced the destructive result of the Wilson law will vote for and protection. The free silver democratic convention aji with a great flourish that the way to protect American workmen is to prohibit the importation of pauper labor; just as though the republican party had not provided for that matter long ago.

The democratic party was Always behind time. Chairman Ury of the county central committee Informs the Monitor that the committee has made arrangements with Dick Blue and J. K. Cubbison to be present and address the republicans of Bourbon county at the convention to be held July 21st. These gentlemen are among the best speakers in the west and they will be greeted by an immense crowd.

When President Cleveland used the federal power to quell the disgraceful riots and atop the wanton destruction of property In Chicago, the people of the country regardless of party applauded him and condemned the anarchist Altgeld for supporting the rioters. Now the free silver wing of the democratic party lauds the anarchist and condemns the action of the president whose action saved blood ahed and the destruction of millions of property. Taken la time Hood's Sarsaparilla prevents serious illness by keeping the the blood pure and all the organs In a health condition. u.uqji rrn dacy we think doubtful. However that may be, any insinuation or suggestion that he Is crooked, either as a man or politician, will not go with the people o' this state.

There is not a di-honest bair on Sum Peters' devoted head His whole public and private life stands a protest to any such oossible imputation. As a lawyer, as a judge on the bench, as a congressman, in an me years in a whic the people of south Kansas have known him, intimately, no charge of crocked Dees or of slackness was ever lodged against him. He Is utterly incapable of intentionally going off wrong. Leaving the bench in com 'or t-able circumstances be entered congress 6 ret as ore of the Big Four, and then again and again from the Big Seventh, where he remained a public dudge and slave to the needs and demands of the largest single constituency in the country, until he became so poor that bankruptcy staring him in the face he declined bein? a candidate any longer. The present poait'on being filled by him was not undertaken for its pay or emoluments, tut lolely for the purpose of putting a new ttate institution on its feet and fir the accomodation of Governor Morrill.

Sam Peters was not the first or only man in the confidence of the administration who was fooled into the be ief that Morrill had decided not to be a candidate again. There being no lnw against any man becoming a candidate for any office, and scores of wide-awake and experienced party leaders log convinced that the republican party wbs threatened with defeat undtr cither of tbe men seeking the nomination for governor, and believing that with the nomination of Peters a victory would be easy, fce was Importuned to come to his party's rescue until he finally, under great pressure, consented. But not even this, or any other excuse, was a necessary prerequisite for his entering the race. And so be is in it, and honorably, as none need be assured. That he ill piove'a strong cendidate is as certain as that if nominated he would poll as big a yote as any man who could be named.

For tbe first time in the history of the country the attempt is being made to bring the United States supreme court into politics. The democrats, in a desperate attempt to cover up their ignorance of constitutional law and the complete failure of the Wilson law to provide sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the government, charge the whele matter to the supreme court and imply in their platform that if given control of the government they will, as soon as possible, so change the supreme court a to carry out their party plans. Whenever our courts, and especially the highest tribunal in tbe nation, becomes a part of a party machine, the liberties of the people are in great danger. A person could hear all kinds of politics by listening to tbe crowds about the bulletin board in front of the Monitor office. The only man who was not talking was tbe sound money democrat, and he was doing a lot of hard thinking.

The bicycle is blamed for many things, but one of the most remarkable complaints concerning the wheel was that made by a New York fisherman. "Never caught a jhing," declared the old man. "Never got a decent bite. Got up befpre da3rlight and rode and walked 40 miles, spent three dollars in fares and five dollars for sandwiches and rum, and never teched 'em. Fishin ain't what it used to be, anyhow," he continued, mournfully.

"We used to go 'round New York 'most anyw here and bring in a good mess. Now you can't bring anything but a jag." "How do you account for it?" I inquired, sympathetically. "The bicyele," said he. "Wha-at? What in the world has the bicycle to do with it?" "I don't know everybody says it's the bicycle, you see. The bike nas just everlastingly knocked the spots out of fishin', 'n everything else so they say." According to the census returns of 1S90, the value of real'property in New York was of personal, $336,000,000.

Compared with this enormous wealth that of any western state is insignificant. Missouri, for instance, one of the richest, has real property valued at $553,000,000 and personal assessed at This vast difference has, among other things, probably had a share in suggesting to the populists their familiar figure of the cow with her mouth in the west, while her milk is pouring into eastern buckets. It is said by those who should know that the mining industries of Colorado were never so flourishing as now. They produced 45,000,000 of the precious metals last year. Cripple Creek has yielded $14,000,000 of gold since 1892.

Leadville ia producing more bullion than ever before. The home market is the smallest for silver after alL Japan alone takes over half the product of California, and the chief shipments for the silver states are to the east. Princess Angeline, the daughter of Chief Seattle, after whom Seattle was named, whose death was chronicled re cently, caused more trouble dead than she did when alive, says an exchange of that city. Two rival firms of under takers fought over who would bury the old woman. Each was supported by relatives of the dead princess and a lively dispute ensued, which was fol lowed by a compromise later on.
