In the disbarment proceedings against Attorney H. L. Burgeos at Olathe, fourteen charges were tiled against him.

John Barber, colored, has been arrested at Topeka, charged witn enticing Birdie Thompson, a good looking mulatto girl, away from her home aud keeping her confined iu his room two days.

Congress is playing to light houses AJSTI3- corn really has nothing to do with the principles upon which the alliance is founded. The serious reforms needed in this country to-day, form the concern of many of the best minds of the nation. The unrepublican tendency of this age cannot escape the observation ot thoughtful men.

The revolt against it may be seen in many phases outside the Farmers' Alliance. This organization is but one form of its development. The low price ot grain and the decline in the price of cattle, may have opened the eyes of some farmers to evils, that will again become invisible, or secondary, as prices may go up once more. To gain a new lease of power, such an increase in prices may be artificially produced. In this the money power and the politicians are a'ike interested.

Tt will come only as a last resort, but it will come, if necessary, to their continued triumph. Then may be seen the folly of those rvho expect great results in short time, instead of waiting with patience the fruition of thought and education. Possibly then may be known the weakness of a too rapid and too careless growth. MACHINE WORKS. R.

Marked Interest An Old Dish Cooked Over. For some months past the Kansas Farmer has been interested in the Farmers' Alliance. It is reported that it now proposes to give less attention to politics and more to agriculture. All along the position of the ps-per has been an anomalous one. A year or two ago its editor, Judge Peffer, wrote a book in favor of a high, or protective tariff.

His name appears to-day as the vice president for Kansas of the American protective league. Some months ago he published a series of article, entitled, "The Way Out." The substance was the "Way Out" of the present financial stringency was for the government to loan money to the people at a low rate of interest. The idea was put forth as something new, and Judge Peffer has been giving lectures before alliances, setting forth the advantages of tht plan, and it has been called "Peffer's Plan, and approved in some alliances. The idea is old, stale, and would prove unprofitable. It is an old greenback party notion.

It has been advocated by some men for a quarter of a century. It is now a secondhand notion. Not to speak further of its antiquity, instead of affording a way out, the plan might better be termed the "Rapid Road to Ruin." Unless some very radical changes are first made in financial management the whole idea is monstrously fallacious. At best it would only bring temporary relief, and the last end of borrowers under such a system would be worse than the first. Firstly, it would encourage the custom of borrowing, a thing that wants to be checked.

There is a possibility of such reform as will make so much money borrowing unnecessary. This is the end to be sought. This involves a radical change in our financial relation, the abolition of rational banks, the present methods ot manipulating stocks, The Harmon LnoitVr prpp, of Vnllnv Falls, ia on trial before the United States court this week. is now shown by eastern people in the settlement of Oregon and Washington, Topeka Seed House.

Until this is clone, any way out that comes only by the issue of more money, either by government loans or silver coinage, would give temporary relief, and give the scalpers greater power in the future. Several bills looking toward these ends are now before Congress. They are mostly sops thro.vn out to appease public discontent. It is no probable that one of them will pass into law, nor are they intended to do more than to blind the people. They are the offspring of political demagogues, in the old political parties.

So, too, are the captivating, impractical and untimely theories of government loans, under present conditions, the offspring of ignorance, or of demagogues in the new parties. The evils that afflict this nation are grave enough and numerous enoueh. It is cruel folly to deny them or ridicule them. But there is a little to be hoped from those who expect a remedy from a wave of some magic wand, as from the party demagogue who sits in Congress to do the bidding ot Wall street. cured by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure.

The first girl ever employed as a clerk in the Grovernnieut departments at Washington was a school teacher named Jennie Douglass. Her school being broken up by the war, Gen. E. F. Spinner interceded with the Secretary of the Treasury to give her a clerkship.

Mr. Spinner had been a banker, and oftea got his wife and daughters to trim bank-notes for bim, as they performed this work more rapidly and neatly then his clerks. He stated this fact to Secretary Chase, who very reluctantly consented to the innovation of a girl in the Treasury Department. The legal tender notes came from the engravers in New York iu sheets, with blank margins all around, four notes on each sheet General Spinner gave her a pair of long shears, and taught, her to trim the whole length of a sheet at a single clip. She proved an apt pupil, and the very first day did more work than either of the young men, who received one hundred dollars a month, while she was paid fifty.

This was in 1862. During that year seven young women were appointed to clerkships, aud now rimy are employed by the thousands various departments. for plain, practical workinging people, at honest prices, by J. K.
