srREETER,s RECORD.


Judge E. NJ. Oliver, of Sandusky, o.,
gentleman of character and prOmi-
nence, has this to say of a. J. Stree
ter, the Union Labor candidate for
president:
''IIe is a resident of Mercer county.
Illinois, where he owns 200 acres of
as fine land as there is in the United
States. lie owns more mortgages on
farms in Mercer and Inman counties,
Illinois, than any five men in either of
these counties. All told he is worth
about $40, 000, 900 and he is now posing
before the country as the great friend
of the laboring man, the overtaXed
and interest ridden farmer, when as a
matter of fact he himself is one of the
most cold blOoded of twelve per centers
| in the country.
I'm 1862 Streeter was county super
/ visor of Inman county. The board of
supervisors had by resolution ordered
| that all destitute widows, wives and
children of volunteer soldiers who had
enlisted in the union army should be
cared for and furnished the necessaries
| of life.
"What think yon this Streeter did;
lie introduced resolution before the
board directing that no tea, coffee OF
sugar, which he termed luXuries OF
life, be furnished to these destitute
widows and families of men who haC
fought or were then fighting the battle:
| OF their country. This resolution
passed the board and Streeter voted
| for it.
''This is the manner of man who is
now talking to the eX-soldiers of the
union resident in Kansas, and solicit
ing their votes for president. This j:
/ the kind of mortgage shark who is try
| ing to persuade Kansas farmers to vott
for him for president.
| why, if his record was known hC
would not poll a cOrporal's guard of ;
vote in the state What l have said
about him can prove from certificate
from the county clerks of Inman an6
Mercer counties. They are swOrI
statements, given under the seal of thu
court, and are therefore irrefutable."

THE Democrat last night, in its
whine because it did not get the city
printing, had the cheek to talk about
''expense to the poor laboring man who
is denied work. etc. The poor Ia
boring man. would have to go hun
CRY to bed many nights in the year if
all employees were paid wages similar to
those the Democrat has been in the
habit of paying. Five dollars week
is the highest wages it paid any type
setter in its employ until THE News
stirred it up week or so ago Now it
hires two journeymen, who will prob
ably have to strike for their lay on
Saturday.

AT the great republican ratification
meeting in Cincinnati Major Calkins of
Indiana referred to the democratic
sneers at General Harrison's distin-
guished ancestry. Ben. Butterworth
following got off this telling point. Re-
ferring to General Harrison, he said:
In every station in life. i'll private life
and in public station. he IS without a
flaw. Ny honored friend has well said
that the nation may re proud that amid
the crucible of conflicting opinion we
could select man who, in every rela-
ton in life, is without spot and without
blemish. lie does come of illustrious
ancestry. Many sneer at illustriOus
ancestry-let them do so if they will. !

THREE or four farm wagons loaded
with water melons in Leavenworth

manner; Business is picking up in

apples and other produce to the mar

THE Kansas City News is tackling
two big jobs at one time. 1t is at
tempting to make the railroads renew
their fast trains, and, judging by the
following, intends to either give the
newsboys banquet or start boarding
house:
Kansas girls have been frequently
accused of not being good housekeep-
ers. The writer will back them against
the girls of the world as housekeepers.
Girls don't get show in Kansas. All
the prizes are given by country editors
to the farmers who bring in the largest
melon. Give the girls chance. The
Evening News will give the girl under
20 who makes and sends here the best
loaf Of bread or cake a years subscrip-
ton to the paper. --s

THE democrats are vainly endeavor-
ing to make it appear that republicans
are opposed to any tariff reduction
whatever. This is known to be false.
The republicans do favor reduction in
the tariff. But they are unalterably
opposed to heavy reduction on every
northern product and little OF no reduc-
ton in any southern product. They
are also opposed to any reduction on
any article of American product where
by foreign competition may be enabled
to drive it out of the market, and thus
throw men out of work in our midst.

THE Sandusky. Ohio, Register sharp
ly asks democratic exchange whether
the tariff of 81 on spirits is responsible
for the great whisky trust? And the
whisky trust is democratic. and the
democrats refuse to wipe out the rev.
enue tax and tariff on spirits too. Not
because of moral sentiment, but for the
purpose of enjoying British free trade
on other products of American labor
and industry.

THE Mcpherson Republican pro-
pounds an intricate and embarrassing
question to those democratic journals
which are claiming that the consumer
is obliged to pay the tariff imposed on
articles:
Now We have question. Lawns
have been sold here this season at three
cents per yard twenty-five inches wide.
The tariff is four and one-half cents
per square yard. Calicos, same width.
sell at three to five cents per yard, duty
the same. In these and hundreds of
similar cases who pays the duty?

THIS is what General Harrison, the
republican nominee for president, said
while he was member of the United
States senate: 1.-THE creation of the
tariff commission is a confession that
the tariff needs revision. If the report
comes in it should be promptly acted
upon. My opinion is that no time
should be lost after congress assemblies
in bringing forward these measures !"
General Harrison was right when he
uttered those sentiments. He cannot
stand upen the Chicago platform with
out being wrong nOw.-K. c. Star.
Certainly it needs revising, but not
in the way Mr.. Mills proposes. The
south might possibly stand it, but the
north would even prefer the tariff as it
now stands to one that makes such UNI
fair Determinations as would either re-
duce the wages or close the doors OF
nearly every factory in the north.

Taylor and Tarnsey .

W WASHINGTON, April 18.-The house
got much worked up this afternoon
over the bill to create a board of arbit-
ration to settle labor disputes. A tilt
occurred between MIR. Tarnsey, Of
Michigan, aud E. B. TAYLOR. Mr.
Tarnsey had said that the way to aid
the laboring men was to pass the tariff
bill. Mr.. Taylor here said that the
Irish, who were always complaining OF
British oppression, were too ready to
fight England's battles. They were
found fighting them in India, and he
feared there were too many Irish here
in this country and in this house de-
ceived by the cry of Democracy and
ready to fight against our interests in
favor of free trade with England. Mr..
Iarnsey assumed that MIR. Taylor had
said that there were too many Irish in
this country and made very vigorous
reply, and for tine there was much
confusion.
