ANOTHER SKUNK HOLED.


D. w. Houston. who presided over
the state Prohibition convention at
Hutchinson on Wednesday, and who, III
his opening speech, declared that in an
other year the Republican party would
sleep the sleep that knows no waking, is
another Judas Iscariot of the st. John
mold. Like St. John, as long as the Re
publican party of Kansas honored him
and furnished him good, fat, easy pollt-
ical positions he was great Republican,
but when time had demonstrated that as
either United States marshal, state
senator or Republican editor he was a
failure and dropped him, he took the
chute that all traitors have taken since
the fist great traitor among the arch
angels in heaven took the chute straight
to nell. This Houston at one time tried
to force the Republican party OF Kansas
to send him to the United States senate.
For wears he has been so badly played
out that many thought he had no doubt
sought new fields. But it seems be has
been hunting for u cranky grip on the
tail Of st. Johns kite.

THE MEANING OF FREE TRADE.

We commend especially to working
men the following from the New York
Sun:
Great Britain has ruined every coun-
try In the world which she has persu ,dcd
or forced into free trade. Her CONNER
cial treaties, coZened out of Portugal.
Spain and Turkey, destroyed the indus
tries of each of those countries and made
them poor. Her cheap goods crushed
out the ancient household manufactures
of the Indian empire, which she overran,
and left millions of the conquered peo-
pie with a bare subsistence Of rice and
water a British army of invasion
forced China to admit into her territory
the opium which British merchants
could market only in that empire.
and forced the entrance through the
custom houses of China of British mer-
chandIse at the destructive duty OF two
per cent ad valorem. 1t was the nlassa-
ere Of the industry Of a magnificent and
venerable empire. and of countless thou
sands of poor Chinese meIi, women and
children. These cheap goods pirates in
ike manner covered japan with the
guns of their war ships, and compelled
her to receive the fiiusy products Of
Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield
at the uniform duty Of 81 per cent ad
valorem. That il free trade. and il i
strangling the life out Of helpless
Japan. The experience Of Ireland
Is too well known 10 need special
mention here. England, indeed, is the
commercial pirate Of the world. She Is
now straining her utmost 10 rob the
United States Of It's industries and yet
control of our market. II she succeeds,

WICHITA IN GIN JINNATI.

The subjomed brief description of the
Wichita exhibit at the Cincinnati exposi-
ton and complimentary of mention the
city and its representative, IL. L. Pierce,
is from the Evening Herald Of that city,
and will be read with interest, not only
by citizens of this city but of the state,
who feel a sense of pride in the leading,
and only really enterprising, city OF the
state. The Hsrald says:
1.-The pagoda in the Kansas exhibit Is
the work OF H. T.. Pierce, Of Wichita.
1t offers something new under the sun IN
the way of decorations. Dir. Pierce has
discarded all the conventionalItieS and
used grasses, straws and cereals as his
material A very pretty effect Is created
by inclosing an ear of corn in an ordinary
japanese lamp shade. Mr.. Pierce wishes
to correct the erroneous impression that
the display under him is a state exhibit.
He SAYS the board of trade and private
citizens of Wichita contributed every cent
towards making the display. An immense
exhibit of fruit will be added to the Kan
sas exhibit next month"

At the last election of county officers
in Labette county the Union Labor
party succeeded in electi1 most of their
ticket, upon the specious plea of reform
and the personal pledge of some of their
candidates that they would not accept
more than stated pay-much less than
was provided for by law. The office of
register of deeds had paid, IN fees. ETC..
thirty-tive hundred dollars. but the I'm
ion Labor candidate, j. X. Russell, an
nounced before his election that he
would receive a salary of one thousand
dollars in lieu OF all fees and perquisites.
After the election and his induction into
office the champion reformer proceeded
to appropriate to his own use the sum of
three thousand dollars, the amount pre-
viously fixed as the salary of that officer.
and fees in excess of that amount suffi-
cient 10 make his aggregate pay about
thirty-hve hundred dollars. OF course
he was made to disgorge the excess col
lected and retained above the sum of the
fixed salary. but he held on TO the extra
two thousand dollars above the amount
he agreed to accept before his election.
We mention this case, which is by no
means the only one, to illustrate the I'M
reliability of the demagogical professions
of side-show reformers.

INDIANA POLITICS.

Considering that the campaign is only
few weeks old and the prevailing hot
weather in the east, the Indiana Repub-
licans are manlfesting commendable
degree of enthusiasm. Clubs and or
CARNATIONS Of all kinds continue to make
pilgrimageS from every part of the state
to Indianapolis, the home of General
Harrison, to pay their respects and ex-
press qualification at the opportunity
afforded them by his nomination to give
him a cordial support through the can
vasS and at the polls.
We notice mention of one incident as
having occurred at VincennesS, few
days ago, however, which, while it re-
fleets the prevailing sentiment among
the people, is one that we cannot take
any stock in for the reason that it was a
coarse, uncalled for display of muscle
and corresponding lack of propriety, not
20 say brains. IL was this:
"A club Of young ladies at Vincenues
drove into the country, cut down tree
nearly one hundred feet high, trimmed
Z Oil lilt illilDN anu NASie-t'A IL ~ Wv IL
with horses and chains, raised the pole
with appropriate ceremonies and flung a
Harrison and Morton streamer and the
stars and stripes to the breezes." An ex-
change i'll speaking of the incident, OBJ
serves that when they start out for a
real aggressive campaign in Hoosierdom
they give their whole mind to it, and
things are lively until after election day,
when the victorious side paints the state
red. and the members of the defeated
party keep out of sight as much as posi-
BILE for several weeks" But for the Incl
dent mentioned in this connection we
would pull off our hat. throw it in the
air and shout hurrah for Hoosierdom,
but we protest against any such vulgar,
unwomanly exhibition there or else
where. We want the Republican party
TO succeed in this campaign, but not at
such sacrifices as some over-ZealouS
women seem inclined to make.

The Dog Problem.

Rural World.
1t would not surprise us if the solution
of the dog question was not presently
found to be in the cultivation of better
class of dogs; class of useful, trained
intelligent dogs, bred for purpose and
kept only for that purpose. Liberty
might be given every householder to own
one such full grown dog free of tax, and
as many more as he pleased after paying
an annual tax of s., providing each
with collar on which should be metal
label giving the number of the license,
that if the dog be found from home and
engaged in doing mischief the owner may
be taxed therefor. Dogs have been a
mans friend and companion and ever
will be. The sheep industry is an inpor-
tant and necessary department Of farm
life. and ever must be, and we must har-
monte the two.

One of the principles inculcated by the
Union Labor Party and enumerated by
their public speakers is to double the
amount of money now in circulation,
the plea set up being that this would
double the price of everything. This in
fiation idea, which originated we believe
with the Greenback movement few
years ago, has long since been exploded.
1t could not produce any lasting benefits
in any contingency, but would be
fraught with harm and disaster to every
interest of the country by unavoidably
unsettling all values. Experience has
proven our present monetary system to
be the best that human ingenuity can
devise, and the only amendation needed
in any manner contingent thereto is a
proper adjustment of the tariff laid by
the government SO that the circulating
medium of the country shall not be con-
tracted by collecting any considerable
amount of money above the necessary
expenses of the government. The idea
first above referred to is too fallacious to
be worthy of serious consideration, but
it is fair sample of the distinctive
claims set up by the party advocating it
for popular support.
