Editor: It has been decided much to the satisfaction of our many patriotic citizens, both old and young, that we will have an opportunity on July 4 to see the American Eagle spread her wings, and some one will reach np in oratorical flights, pull her tail and make her scream as in "ye olden time," all of which will make ns glad.

But many of our townspeople will be compelled to refrain, and forego this celebration, if the plan proposed in last week's press of our city is carried out, of having the celebration in Logan grove. Now, we take much pride in that shady, pleasant grove of Captain Henderson's, but to go there for the doings of that day will work a real disappointment and hardship to the many of our people who do not own a conveyance or have the necessary 25c per capita of their families to take them there. In short let us celebrate in town, and use our own pretty park for a gathering place. A Voice of Mast. GEN.

Once more we have been attacked by the hyenas of noted "Pleasant Valley" through the Junction City Tribune and Geary County Republican in reference to the piece published May 24 by James D.

Whelan, alias Populist well, "Dennis" would be most appropriate. I will make this remark as yon are aware that I made this statement that he has no respect for his mouth, and he has proved my state ment to be a fact beyond any donbt In beginning the reply to the truth of the Pleasant Valley dance affair of May 3rd, in which Anthony King, ottered to the public names of those who were not pres ent, proves the writer to be ignorant by stating that a contradiction of an untruth publicly confesses guilt of the same. And as to the "resolutions," they are false in every respect and are not the true verdict of the Dry Creek band and were not ap proved by the respectable members at the band meeting reterred to; they were a "trumped up" anair by a few of the tail ings. Tbe supper which I was accused of eat ing at the "band's expense," was donated by tbe young ladies ot tne community, not to the band only, but for all who would attend. Among those ladies who donated the supper were my sisters, whom I accom panied to tne dance.

What could yon expect of persons who denied the gut of those liberal young ladies? They also charge me of attending their so called social in a state of real or appar ent intoxication, with others. As stated before, I accompanied my sisters to the dance. It is evident to any fair minded person that they have become strangers to the truth, and so depraved that they care not whom their vile tongues may slander. I prevented nobody from coming to the dance or buying tickets. The largest number that ever attended any social gathering on Dry.

creek was there that night I stated before, the order of the dance was the cause of so many of ns refraining from purchasing numbers. I used no unbecoming language, and cast no reflections on any lady present: the music was beyond "ridicule." I threw no stone, neither before nor after leaving the room. My statement of May 17 contains no falsehood, no misstatements, and Whe-lan's own vulgar and profane words prove to the public his disreputable character. Akthony Kino, BRADFORD-BROWN WEDDING.

On the first ballot, had it not been for a mistake on the part of one member writing the name "Cooper" instead "Hooper," be would have been elected.

Tbe explanation of this vote was made, and the board was assured that the intention was to vote for Hooper, but an objection was raised, and a new ballot gave room for an attack upon Hooper, which was made. Mr. Hooper ia much offended at the charges made, and believed by a number sufficient to defeat him, and has called for an investigation. The truth is that the charges are pure and unadulterated fakes. The further truth is that his defeat, in view of tbe fact that the city never had a janitor so universally liked by the patrons of the building, including every teacher and every pupil, is an outrage.

Mr. Hooper has been an ideal janitor. He has gone to personal expense and devoted time not required that he might further beautify the grounds and buildings. Every room has been provided with an abundance of potted plants, and at Mr. Hooper's own expense.

He has cared for them during the school months, and in the summer has placed them in the lawn that the grounds might be further adorned. The beet citizens all over the city are inquiring, and with much pertinence, whether or not there it to be an incentive offered for a janitor to strive to do the very best mark possi ble, and be an houest man, alvxtyt looking after the property and bent interest of the tchooU, or whether an indolent tool is to be given the same treatment In view of the treatment given Mr. Hooper, Mr. Chase, or any other man yet to come, will not know whether the school board wants a good janitor or a poor one, just so he "toata" water into the back yard of any member of the board. The people, unless we are at error in our esti mate of the situation, are preparing to give an emphatic rebuke to such practices.

Mr, Hooper should push his investigation.

Grady's description of a funeral he attended in Pickens county, Ueorgia: "iney buried mm in a marble quarry; they had to cut through solid marble to dig his grave, bat the tombstone they pat over him was brought from Ver mont, ney Dunea mm in a pine forest, but the pine comn they put bim in came from Connecticut; they buried him in tonch of an iron mine, but the nails in his coffin and the shovel with which they dug his grave were imported from Pittsburg: they buried him in the midst of the finest sheep grazing country in the world, bat the wool en bends on his eorhn were made in the north; the south did not furnish one thing on earth for that funeral bat the corpse and the hole in the ground.

"They threw the clods down on his coffin, and they buried bim in a New York coat, and a Jooeton pair of shoes, and a Chicago vest, and a Cincinnati shirt, giving him nothing to remind him of the state ia which he was born and for which he fought four years, bot the chilled blood in his veins and the marrow ia his bones.

Jersey ice cream at ing Green Saturday night, stated five propositions which ought to bum them selves into the memory of every working- man in the United States who is inclined to follow the illusive promises which arise from the free silver coinage idea. There is no theory or nnfoaned assumption in these propositions; nothing but plain state ments of fact, and they cannot be evaded or avoided. They are as follows: 1. There is not a free coinage country in the world that ia not on a silver basis. 2.

There is not a gold standard country in the world to-day that does not use silver for money along with gold. 3. There is not a silver standard country in the world that uses any gold as money along with silver. 4. There is not a silver standard country in the world to-day that has more than one-third of the circulation per capita of the United States.

5. There is not a silver standard country in the world to-day where laboring men receive fair pay for their day's work. The author of "Coin's Financial School" way forced to acknowledge, in his debate with Prof. Laughlin in Chicago a few days ago, that gold could not remain in its nse as money in this country if free silver coinage were adopted. But he did not explain, nor has any one done so, how the laboring man and producer can be benefited by driving ont of nse a third of the money of the country by one act of legislation.

GENUINE BIMETAUSM. In speaking of the use of silver, and the howl about gold bugiam and oppression of the masses, the Kansas City Star states the situation in a way, it appears to us, that any candid voter ought to see the point. It says: The Star is in favor of the largest nse of silver in the monetary system that is possible without placing the currency of the country on an exclusive silver basis. It recognises the fact that 600 millions of sil ver are in use as money in this country at the present time, alongside of about 600 millions of gold. It is in favor of a policy which will keep both the gold and the ail ver in circulation so that every dollar will be of equal purchasing power with every other dollar.

If any policy can be propos ed whereby increased quantities of silver can be put in circulation without endanger ing this co-ordinate use of both metals, The Star will be in favor of it. "Insofar as the purpose of the free coin age advocates is to increase the supply of good money, The Star has no fault to find with their object The trouble is that they are seeking to accomplish certain results by the adoption of a policy which would pro duce just the opposite results. Instead of giving the country a larger supply of gold dollars, free silver coinage would give the country a smaller supply of poor dollars by immediately driving gold money out of cir culation and leaving the entire money system of the country resting on silver at its commercial value. Is anybody so foolish as to believe that the West would be bene fitted by such a policy, even if it would enable the farmer to pay of his mortgage with a smaller number of bushels of wheat than are now required ''If the West wants and needs more money, it certainly does not want to go at it by driving 600 millions of gold out of use as a preliminary step." Senator Lucien Baker has been for many years a lawyer in active practice and took little interest in politics. But when he entered political life and was elected to the United States senate he examined the silver question with a candid and unprejudiced mind, open to conviction, and his statement iust made in Kansas Citv.

there fore, that he has watched the controversy closely and that the arguments against free silver and in favor of sound money appear to be stronger is pretty strong testimony that the conservative forces have walked up and are convincing candid men as to tne beet interests of the country. I here are a good many indications that the tide is turned in the silver fight and the state ment of Senator Baker is one of them. He has no interests but those of his constituents and we believe that he will be loyal to them. Topeka Capital. This should be a big corn year for Kansas.

For five years the corn has never averaged as high as 27 bushels per highest yield being 26.75 in 1891. The average yield during the last five years was a fraction less than 18 bushels. The average yield of the state in corn for thirty years has been 31 1-3 bushels. Up to 1890 the average for twenty-five years had been 34 bushels. Such a falling off in the principal product of the state shows what natural adversities Kansas has contended against for five years, and yet it has added 20 million dollars to the net valuation of its farm lands during this period.

Topeka Capital. There promisee to be a lively contest this fall in the new Eighth judicial district between Judge Humphrey and Frank Doeter. Judge Humphrey is a Democrat and is likely to be nominated for re-election, but the Populists having decided to fight everything Democratic this year, have called a straight party convention to nominate a middle-of-the-road candidate and Doeter will be their man. The Republicans are expected to help Humphrey defeat Doeter. The district is composed of Dickinson, Geary, Marion and Morris counties, and it will take the combined Republican and Democratic vote to defeat the Populists.

Lamed Eagle-Optic. A friend of Mr. Carlisle says that the Secretary of the Treasury is a poor man and would not have 1,000 left after paying his debts. But even then the Secretary has managed his private affairs better than those of the government. If he remains in charge of Uncle Sam's finances much longer the country will not even be able to pay its debts.

Chicago Inter Ocean. The successful venting of Cyrus Leland's spleen in the Rogers case may satisfy him for the time, but it is a bad thing for Re- Sublicans and for Mr. Leland. All people etest hypocrisy and the idea of Cy. Leland guarding the pnblic morals is ridiculous.

Brown County World. The Emporia Gazette says: "Mr. Frank Doeter wants to run for judge in the new district composed of Morris, Geary, Dickinson and Marion counties. Mr. Doster's neck has never recovered from the jolt it got in Chase county four years ago." The fellows who are all the while trying to raise a row are now saying that Farmer Smith is to be made warden in the penitentiary.

Morrill says no, Smith says no and Bruce Lynch soys NO I Sedan Tynee-Star. The Chase investigating committee finds that the warden was "indiscreet" in his relations with Miss Lou Williams. As we understand the matter, then, the committee thinks he should not have allowed anyone to caloh him. Lawrence Journal. The talk of making ex-Governor Glick the Populist-Democratic fusion candidate for governor reminds as to ask what kind of a support he will get from the Populist prohibitionist Sal in a Republican.

Illinois had six days of hot wind laat week, and the entire esst ia badly scorched. Reformer Debs will aerre oat his sentenced prison for interfering with interstate traffic. The genuine friends of reform ought to rejoice. The Leavenworth Times throws down the wire fence when it suggests that the Marquu of Qneensberry should be known sh the "Sol Miller of England." Kansas, np to Monday morning, was wet as she had not been during the past twelve months. This means that the prospects are a whole lot brighter for corn than they Lave been.

In view of the fact that it cost the state 1,187.35 to investigate Rodgers, of Washington county, it would appear to be a lerably expensive luxury to introduce Pops into good society. Editor Josiah Copley, of the Kansas City, Kansas, Gazette, in one issue last week gave Bherman four tips in national finance, the history and deductions concerning which Senator Sherman was in error. Editor George Burroughs, who is making the Abilene Chronicle a real stunner, has just swooped in the Dispatch, adding still greater strength to the paper. There is no finer opening in the state for a right good weekly than in Dickinson, and Burroughs seems to have taken it all in. If Deacon Sol Miller and Ewing Herbert don't quit exchanging biographies, insop- histocated people will imagine that the purity of the Kansas newspaper man is an irridescent dream.

But for the danger that the gray heads who have helped to make Kansas may be too old to outlive any such impression, it might matter little. The Abilene Chronicle crowns a three column write-up of the Prather trial thus "Passing of Prather. The misguided min ister loses his first damage suit and winds np in -the Sallna jail. Sensational epi sodes connected with the trial of the Troliver case in this city. Troubles fast and thick." Ere another moon comes apace we shall expect to see the firmament in the vicinity of the sanctum of the Clyde Argus bedecked with corpuscles of blood, and from Del Valentine's belt will be dangling the scalp of Charlie Morley.

The moment he accuses Valentine of frequenting the drug stores of Clyde and looking for a "jag" doctor, somebody will be called upon to rise and explain. The State accountant'! report of the rot tenness found In the accounts of both the Topeka Insane asylum and the State penitentiary calls to mind a dozen or two prom' ises of political purification sent out by the Reformers. Our Populists are true to his tory. Every new reform party we have had for a quarter of a century has been rid den to death by political thugs. When the Pops came into the arena there was an un usually large gang waiting for a good meal.

In this our honest Pop friends were un fortunate. Ex-Congressman John Davis' article on "Napoleon Bonaparte" will begin in the Arena (Boston) with the July number. The title pegs of an advance sheet contains this explanation: "A sketch; written for a purpose. Brief discussions of the hereditary, parental and educational influences that moulded the character of this "man of destiny;" the conditions in Europe that made his unrivaled military success possible; and the mistaken military, financial and political policies which rendered his ultimate downfall inevitable." A very sensible comment from the Sedan Times-Star: "There is a disposition on the part of some Republicans to abuse Gev. Morrill; and they point to many things he has done as though they were crimes.

As a matter of fact the Governor may have made a few mistakes that is only human but he has committed and will commit no crimes. lie started in with the intention of making Kansas a good governor and we believe he will do it. In the mean time it is too soon, as yet, to judge the administration; wait until the Governor has been in office a year and a day and then it will be easier to judge as to his work." The Leavenworth Times of Sunday shed good dozen rays of light upon the senatorial bickerings, delineating the duplicity perpetrated upon Hood and Burton in the race. Among other things, it gives the inside of the trade by which Hood and Lambert of Emporia are brought back into line, by Dr. Biddle of Emporia being given a place in the Topeka insane asylum.

The two and a half columns are concluded with this paragraph: "This is Leland's conn ac tion with Hood's senatorial boom. His perfidy to A. W. Smith has been exposed His double dealing with J. W.

Ady, Judge Hot ton and J. R. Burton all in the interest of Morrill will be discussed in future letters." If this state is being run by this man Leland it is time we knew it.

There is, in fact, bat one other ia this country that ia its equal, at least so considered in agricultural college circles. It is the farmers college, and designated expressly for the education of the sons and daughters of the farmers of Kansas.

These things being true, we have always been strongly impressed that, as a class, the farmers should take a deeper interest in the college, its work and its progress than is manifested. Geary farmers specially should be in closer touch with due great college. From Junction 5ty, it is a drive ia the early morning of only three and a half hours.
