THE SENATE tariff bill leaves the tax
on lumber but takes it of acorns. AS
lumber is luxury that farmers need
not buy and acorns necessity which
they must have, this action onithe part
of the republican senate should make
thousands of votes among the western
farmers for Harrison and Morton.-Sa-

AS THE republicans delight in calling
James G. Blaine the Plumed Knight,
and as they are continually displaying
the bloody shirt, they might as well call
him the (K)night shirt. 1t will surely
prove to be the winding sheet at their
final defeat in November next.-CantOn,
Ohio, Democrat.

Now THEY say the Henry Booth let
ter was forgery. Of course they do.
Blaine said trusts are largely private
affairs, and should not be interfered
with by even the president of the Uni
ted States.' Yet Blaine tried in his
first speech in Indiana, to make out
that two or three especial" trusts in
this country were under the shadow
of the presidential wing-forgetting that
Cleveland was the first and only presi-
dent to call the attention of congress to
the need of, in some manner, doing away
with the fatal power possessed by trusts
and combinations of capital.

good audience was in attendance, and
very enjoyable evening was the CON-
sequence. The speakers were Messrs.
E. L. Hotchkiss. Frank w. Ross, W.
E. Losney and J. v. Brinkman. The
Cleveland glee club was out from
Great Bend. All our meetings are
full of enthusiasm, and none are held
where the people go away damning
the speakers for abuse of the republi-
can party or its candidates. Our can
didates and speakers are not built on
that plan.

We call the attention Of our readers
to the announcement of Mr.. Wiener
in this issue. The goods which Mr..
Wiener places for disposal in this great
sale, are what have been carried over
from his FIRE stock when he burnt out
last spring, and we can vouch for the
fact that Mr.. Wiener invariably backs
up with act and deed all that which he
states and promises through the coll
umns of this paper.

Down in the neighborhood of the
republican candidate for county sup
erintenden: of schools it is told that
he cannot hold a candle to his own
children in the county spelling schools.
This does not in the least cast any re-
Fiction upon the character of Mr..
Grant as a gentleman of honor and
integrity, and does not prove that he
is not one of the best farmers in Bar
ton county. But it does indicate that
he is hardly fitted for the position Of
county superintendent of schools, to
which he does not appear to aspire.
w. E. Looney is the man to look after
our schools for the next two years.

JUDGE CHAPMAN is logging for votes
like quarter horse and he needs to
rustic, he needs to leg now, If he ever
legged in his life. The belief that the
Office should seekt the man does not ap-

he is apparently too anxious about his
chances to perceive that his hard work
will be all for naught.

German voters should not be
wheedled into the belief that the repub-
lican party, the party which has
always posed as the party which
brought prohibition onto Kansas and
enacted laws to deprive you Of personal
liberty, has now turned square about
and is looking after the interests Of
the farmers. A. few cheap strikers
have been hired to spread false stories
about the democratic candidates, es-
pecially the county candidates. Talk

this campaign: and learn the facts on

was announced for the Hood school

gathered the school house door was

promission for the use of the building.

being used. The door was eventually
opened, however, and the meeting
held.

the pen of Chairman Booth, of that
letter in the Kansas City Times, but
have failed to see anything Of the kind.
If the letter was false, there was the

DN LESSEPS' FALL.

LONDON, Dec 15-The Comte Ferdinand
de Lesscps has pro ably reached the end oil
his career as n fnancier. But the old cana
builders downfall is not necessarily the enc
of the Panama company. Whether either Of
the schemes already on foot for putting the
old company in liquidation and forming
new one, or any other, will now be carried
out 10 is impossible at this moment to say
but there is little doubt entertained In any
quarter that the French government will
come TO the rescue, and will propose to carry
out some scheme or other which shall have
for It's real aud ultimate purpose 10 prevent
any o tn money which has been subscribed
for the canal being returned to the people
This is the opinion which prevails today.
1t is difficult TO arrive accurately at the
result of the last Panama issue, but 1t is
quite clear that the endeavor made by NJ
dc l. ' ELS on Wednesday TO create feeling
of confidence among the smaller investors, az
the last chance still left him OF obtaining
subscription of the necessary 100000 bonds
completely failed of its object. All kinds OF
rumors were afoat yesterday. Among then
was one 10 ths effect that some of the Paris
banks hal agreed to complete the subscrip-
tion OF 400 900 bonds and allow an allotment
to be made. In any case, the ministry is ex-

Confidence Men Play the Old, Old Game
Once More in Maryland.
FREDERICK, Nd, Dec. l5-Mr Charles
Salmon, aged 7S, a well known farmer living
near Monrovia, Frederick county, has been
swinded by sharpers out of $1,000. One OF
the men represented himself TO be son OF
the late Ex-Governor Hamilton, who was
related to Mr. Salmon. The alleged Hamtl-
ton induced the old man to borrow 81, 900
with which TO purchase machinery.
The two men left the city in a carriage,
and when at lonely place on the Newman
ket road they were met by a confederate OF
the so called Hamilton, who carried a gam
bling arrangement. Hamilton and his friend
soon engaged Salmon in a game OF chance,
and when they induced him to stake all the
money he had on his person, amounting to
81 ,045, one of the men exclaimed: 81 have
won; the stakes are mine," and grabbed the
money.
The two confederates then hastily entered
the carriage and drove to Frederick where
they returned the team to the livery stable.
Then they made themselves scarce.

American Actors Heard From.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The American
actors claim that the contract labor law
should be so amended as to prevent the
foreign professionals from crowding them to
the wall In fact, they say the invasion IL
becoming 50 much greater every year that
200 citizens who depend upon the stage for q
living are unable to secure any kind of pro
fessional work. They demand that congress
shall give them fair show, and, while they
ask for no special privileges, they claim they
are entitled to as much protection as any
other class whom the law defends against
foreign overcrowding Delegates from the
Actors Order Of Friendship have appeared
before the congressional investigating COM
mittee and asked that the contract labor law
be extended to all foreign professionals ex-
