CHILDREN AND MONEY. In recent years a good deal ban been said and written upon the subject of teaching children the value of money The old idea that it doesn't much matter how the child gets his money, so that it comes by it honestly, has been aban doned. It is »een that it does make great deai of difference, for what comes easy too often goes easy, and the girl or boy who inherits a fortune thatsomeone else's labor has earned rarely knows how to keep it, while the boy who be gins by earning and saving his pennies is very apt to deveiope into a level-head ed and successful business man. Some of the most successful merchants have been those who began life as little newsboys, selling papers on the streets.

The first lesson in juvenile finance should therefore be the earning and spending of money. It may be but a penny or a nickle no matter so that it be earned and wisely spent. The amount is of much less consequence than the method. Having earned their money by some form of honest labor, let the boy or girl have full control of it. They may spend it foolishly at first they have not the wisdom and experience of adults because they are not adults. But they will learn, as all have had to learn, by using the money which their own labor has brought them. When they have made a mistake they will come to see it and with proper encouragement will do better the nest time. Thus In time, by repeated experiment, they will grow to learn the value of money, what it costs to obtain it and what it will buy for its possessor. This Is precisely the kind of knowledge they need in the practical affairs of life. They should of course be encouraged to save their earnings and to spend them wisely but there should be nothing approaching compulsion or suggesting that the young money-owner is not the full aud complete master of the results of his labor.

A TIMELY SUOOES1 ION. Borne of the newspapers have already begun to express the hope that the Presidential contest this year may mark an exception to the general rule in the avoidanoe by the partisan press of the bitter and scandalous personalities and brutal attaoks upon private character that have been so disgraceful and disgusting In some of the campaigns of reoent year*.

The suggestion Is a timely one and Is well made before the heat and fury of the con lost so arouses men's passions as to make them insensible to the decencies and proprieties of life. The Mall has never been able to understand why such indeoencies are indulged in. Assuredly they win no votes for the party practicing them, nor draw any from the candidate against whom the attacks are directed. If they

have

any effect at all it

Is precisely the opposite one. The great body of American voters are disgusted with suoh a method of campaign work and many of them will turn to a candidate who Is meanly attackod for the very purpose of showing their disapproval of that kind of campaigning.

It is with the publlo, not the private record of candidates that the people arc concerned. A public serevant is answerable to the people for his public acts. His private llfo Is his own anil nobody Is benefitted by tearing It open and exhausting the Ingenuity of malice In trying to dlsoover some blast or stain upon It. It has come to be a by-word that no man's private life is pure enough to save him from the charge of crime and dishonorable conduct If, in a moment of weakness, he consents to become a candidate.for an important office. Such a method of campaigning ought to be relegated to the dark ages. It is as out of place in this day of grace and intlligenee as a tiger In a drawing-room would be. All decent people will hope that the campaign of 1888 will not witness a repetition of the mud-throwing of four years ago.

AND now Senator Butler has Introduced a bill for the admission of Utah as a State. It provides

for

a constitution

al convention in the territory next December and

that

If such convention shall

adopt the constitution of the United States, the territory may be admitted into the Union. It Is safe to say that this bill will not get through Congress without serious opposition. The people of this country are not ready for the admission of polygamy into the Union just yet, nor are they prepared to believe that the Mormons are sincere in their promises to give up their cherished institution. They prefer to see Utah remain outside the Union until there shall b« no doubt as to the death of "the twin relic.*'

THE WOMAN MOVEMENT. The International Council of the Woman's Suffrage Association will celebrate its fortieth anniversary in Washington from March 25 to April 1. The gathering will be a notable one, as it will bring together many of the famous pioneers in the work of womans advancement throughout the country. .The subject to be discussed will cover a wide range of tODics, including politics, education social purity temperance and philanthropy. The importanceof these questions is not limited to women they concern the progress and well being of the race and are worthy of most profound consideration.

It has been the fashion among a certain class of newspapers to ridicule the woman's movement and to castslureupon those who have stood as

itB

leaders

Yet the cause has made steady progress and every passing year has seen the women of America and of the world taking a higher rank and filling a larger space in the responsible activities of life. In education, in art, in literature in all that goes to make up the better side of life, it is astonishing how women have been pushing to the front in recent years. That their infiuance has been only for good goes without saying. Wherever they have gone they have carried an elevating and purifying atmosphere. If they are not unqualifiedly the better half of creation, they at least exert a most beneficent influence when brought into association with men in the various walks of life.

'-j ILLICIT LOVE. Commenting on the recent suicidal mania in Chicago which resulted In the self-destruction of nearly a dozen people, the Saturday Evening Herald of that city says: "We don't profess to know at»y more than our neighbors about love. We are not ambitious to coin a definition but it seems to us as plain as the day that the love that hugs the portrait of another woman's husband, or that bays a gold watch for, and swears eternal devotion to, a wife's hired servant, Is very likely to end in revolvers and 'rough on rats.'"

That is where it generally does end, and perhaps, though it may seem harsh to say it, where It ought to end. There has been so much of this kind of thing, the lesson has been repeated over and over so very mauy times, that it would seem as if all people possessed of even thimbleful of brains would know enough to keep out of it by this time. Experience keeps a dear school and it is only the fools who will learn In no other. We don't put our hands In the fire any more to find out whether or not it will burn. That question was settled long ago and is not going to be reopened. On the same principle and for the same reason it ought to be regarded as settled for all time to come, that illicit love, or passion call It rather, will make shipwreck of wedlock, home, and life itself, ff indulged in. It has doue so from the time of Solomon down, and it is certain to keep on doing so. Dishonor, degra­

0NS dt the prettiest of the rapidly growing list of Saturday papers came to our table last Saturday evening from Evansvllle. The Saturday Call is its name, Keller & Paine, the job printers are the publishers, and the editor is Mr. Isaac Herr, for many years a writer on this paper, and who recently retired from the Chicago Evening Journal to engage In this promising field. Typographically the Call is a beauty, but the printing Is not the most attractive feature, for its columns are filled with interesting reading, well written and judiciously selected. The people of Evansvllle should and doubtless will given the Call a warm welcome. Its well filled advertising columns show the business men "know a good thing thing when the see it," and are disposed to avail themselves of the advantages of such a paper as an advertising medium.

THBRE is undoubtly muoh less liquor drinking in the United States now than there was some years ago but the brewing business appears to flourish notwithstanding the efforts of the Prohibitionists. According to statistics given by the Brewers' Journal the sales of malt liquors in 1887 amounted to 24,179,741 barrels, an increase of 10X per cent, over 1886. The profits of the manufacture are enormous. By using corn as an aid to barley the cost of the material is only about $1.18 per barrel. Estimating all items of expense for manufacturing and marketing, the beer costs the brewers about three cents a quart. Retailed at five cents a glass it is plainly evident that an enormous profit accrues to somebody. No wonder the brewing interest Is able to raise all the money that is needed to fight unfriendly legislation with.

SENATOR BLAIR has introduced in the United States Senate the bill which passed the last Congress but failed to receive the signature of the President, providing for arbitration in the settlement of controversies between inter-state railroads and their employee. A new section is added which makes it unlawful for the men to strike until the railroad has flailed for five days to agree to arbitration. Such a law Is greatly needed. Railroad stiikee are terribly expensive to the roads, the men and the public and ought to be discouraged by State and National legislation.

'rom the Hutchinson IMly News. Last Sunday looming the News contained a lengthy notice of the formation of a company here, and the granting of a franchise by our city council, for the manufacture of fnel gas, which is to bo cf incalculable'benefit to- Hutchinson and her vast number of manufactories by reason of cheap, fuel.

This morning we have a more important item of news for oor readers, and which will startle the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and tend to securely fasten the eyes of the world on 4he Queen City of the prairies because of her mammoth and wonderful discoveries and her true greatness.

It is a coal find. Two months ago, while boring for salt in South Hutchinson, Ben Blanchard discovered a fine vein of ooal, but by carelessness of the engineers on the work the exact thickness of the vein could not be determined without making public the find, which for certain reasons was thought best to conoeak

Another well is ordered sunk a mile from the old one, and in this to-day the vein was again struck about 480 feet

thirty inches thick, and much resembling the McAllister coal of the Indian Territory.

The Leavenworth coal was found at a th of 700 feet, and the vein was about twenty-two inches thick. The Osage coal, though found nearer the surface than the Leavenworth, is only eighteen inches thick. Thus it will be seen that the South Hutchinson ooal in its resemblance to the McAllister ooal is far superior to any mined in Kansas, or in the west, with the probable exception of Canon City, and the vein is the thickest.

This is certainly grand news to our readers, and will form a happy subject lor discussion at the regular Sunday breakfast table. Mr. Blanchard has had knowledge some time of the existence of coal in his well, but through the carelessness of his engineers, already spoken of, he determined to make a test in another location, and then if successful, make it known to the world.

Htitehinson sets like a planet in tho flffl&nent of growing western cities,and heiffuture is the brightest and already secured.

The various salt works will soon be •ending but dally one hundred and fifty ears of the purest salt In the world our ooal mines will be filling one hundred and fifty cars daily, while o\i. packing houses will be slaughtering Kansas raised hogs and cattle to feed the world at large. And then to say nothing of the great number of other minor industries that will form an important part of the great whole.

Our late discoveries -coal and salt— be sufficient inducoment to attract to Hutchinson every line of railroad that crosses the Missouri river. No bonus will be necessary as Inducement for them to come in. Hutchison can sit quietly down and diotate, and before the close of 1889 this city will be the greatest railroad and commercial center of the west, not excepting Kansas City.
