Around the Circle.

Around the Circle.
We are ON the road and propose to
note few items touching the grand
political speeches that are being made.
First, let us mention meeting at Hazel
ton on Tuesday, Sept. Is. at 2 o'clock. A
fairsized audience greeted the speakers.
The next county attorney addressed the
audience for about 40 minutes in very
able manner, and it is safe to say that
his talk will win him friends and votes
from the opposite party. He was fol-
lowed by Hon. w. III. Carter, of Cold
water, in an able and forcible presenta-
ton of the issues that are now before
the people, and if Mr.. Price don't have
all he can do to hold the Republican
vote at HaZelton this fall, when they
reach the name for senator, we are no
judge of the feelings of the people as to
their interests on the question of the
day, especially when it is a notorious
fact that Mr.. Price received his nomi-
nation through the influence of the
railroads, and w. II. Carter for years
fought the railroads while in the legis-
lature in Missouri. The Kansas far
mers are wide awake this fall, and l
fully believe Mr.. Carter will be our next
senator.
The next point made was at Kiowa.
The meeting there was at 7:30 p. m.
The speakers were greeted by full
house. Mr.. 1. f. Shannon opened the
ball by magnificent presentation of
the great question of tariff reform, and
held the undivided attention of the au-
dience for about 45 minutes, and was
followed by Hon. w. II. Carter, who
spoke for over an hour, and we have no
hesitancy in saying that it was the most
clear and practical presentation of the
issue that has been made in Barber
county this season. Mr.. Carter was
followed by Judge d. A. McCanless,
who sketched the history of the Demo
cratic party from its birth. The juuge
handled the subject like one that made
it daily study. For genuine eloquence
we don't think he has superior in Bar
Der county. 1t is needless to say that
everybody went away feeling that it
was no disgrace to be Democrat.
Wednesday evening found us at Bob
Smiths, near Canema, and Bob is from
Delaware. That is his politics. He
will soon have eight more Democratic
voters in the family. The youngest boy
is six years old and a Democrat. Bob
believes In bringing up boy in the way
he should go. Mr.. 1. F. Shannon opened
the speaking at Canema and spoke for
nearly an hour to an attentive audi
ence. He was followed by the candi-
date for probate judge, w. e. Afford,
who talked for about an hour. Every
body left feeling good. We stayed over
night with Mr.. Smith, and there is not
one of us that will ever forget the kind
treatment we received from Mr.. Smith
and his family. We learned here that
our opponents are only twenty-four
hours ahead of us. We follow the trail
to Aetna hoping to overhaul them.
They seem to be on the run; we intend
to keep up the chase until Capt. Estell
runs all the fat off of Frank Holmes be-
fore we let up. ONE OF THEM.

The Poor Indians.

While the sufferings of the Western
settlers during cold season is justly at

is the poor Indian getting alongf In
the billy region of Northern Dakota
where the severest weather has pre-
vailed are some 1900 Chippewa Indians
who were driven out of the fertile and
we'll protected valleys once occupied
by them into the bleak and barren hills
where it has been truthfully said no
white man could earn a living. The
government appropriation for their
support last year was the princely sum
of So each, and many of them are in

Christian church. One who has re-

mercy of government ut-throats and

greedy white settlers. their condition
is indeed pitiful and in the most mod
crate of winters many of them starve
to death. There is II good deal of per-

Springfield Union when it asks if we
couldn't spare little of our surplus to
