Six years ago, at this stage of the
state canvass, there were few people
who believed that George w. Click
would defeat st. John; but he did.
Then there was no great question like
the tariff before the people. This year
the Democrats have every advantage
by being OH the side of the poor man,
the Over-burdened and underpaid pro-
ducer; they are opposed to free whisky
and the Republicans are favoring it.;
they have statesman, an orator and a
scholar as their candidate for governor
while the Republicans have rich
banker and money loaner as theirs.
The Democrats are aggressive while the
Republicans are on the defensive. The
Democrats want to discuss the issues
with the people while the Republicans
want to give the people tOm-tom and
brass band campaign, all noise and no
argument.

The city council can well afford to
donate one thousand dollars to the
gypsum industry. The projectors of
that enterprise make plain and direct
offer: They will put in works with a
capacity of at least one hundred barrels
day; work at least twenty men in the
factory, not counting quarrymen and
teamsters, and increase the number as
the demand for their output increases.
\ road must be graded to the works;
from two to five acres of land for the
works must be secured and a road must
be laid out to the quarries. The land
to be used in getting the stone will be
donated. If the works do not come the
city will not lose a cent. There is no
water-dltch uncertainty about this
proposition.

The Democrats will make no mistake
if they select Frank Shannon as their
candidate for county attorney. He is
honest and competent and he bears a
reputation for sobriety and fealty to
his party. 1t is known that he will
carry his full party strength and that
he will receive the votes of large ele-
ment of independent voters-more. i'm
fact, than any other man IN the coun-
ty can hope to receive. We candidly
think that it will be great mistake if
he is not nominated.

Mr.. Blaine's idea that trusts are pri-
vate affairs in which the president nor
any citizen has no right to NEEDLE. does
not meet with the sanction of the most
sensible Republican papers. The Chi
cago Tribune says his view sis certainly
a flippant one, to call it by no harsher
name. The illegal combinations of
producers to kill of competition and
fleece consumers are certainly public.
Congress has recognized them as such
by passing legislation heretofore in
their interests, and its members are
now recognizing them again by discuss-
ing legislation which will relax their
hold upon the people and choke them
of from their hugh profit. The courts
have recognized them as public by en-
tertaining proceedings against the oil
trust and the sugar trust. The law
recognized them as public under the
broad term of forestalling and fixing
penalties for conspiracy to suppress
competition and dominate prices"

1t is a great pity that Barber county
did not get up fair fol this fall. The
best specimens of grain, grasses, fruits
and vegetables ever raised in the coun-
ty are to be seen here now when there
is no incentive for the farmers to bring
them in. And in the matter of live
stock: There are few counties in Kan
sas that have greater variety of blood
ed stock than Barber. Every family of
bovine is represented; every style and
breed of horse is here; hogs of every
variety are being successfully raised;
and the poultry industry is not being
neglected. How much more attention
would be gwen to these industries if
there was liberal fair association in
existence and an annual exhibition.
