BARBER COUNTY WEALTH

The basis on which the taxes of 1888
will be levied in Barber county is given
below. 1t is an increase of more than
$4,000 over the valuation of last year
and therefore shows healthy state Of
affairs. There are few counties In
southwest Kansas that are worth more
money than Barber. 1t is richer than
Harper, Kingman, Pratt, Klowa, Com
anche, Clark or Meade. 1t demonstrates
that the county is not an experiment.

CONGRESSIONAL PLATFORM

The platform adopted by the demo-
cratic congressional convention at Great
Bend, on the 18th of July, was as fol-
lows:
1.-The democrats of the seventh COMPRESSION.
al district of Kansas in convention assemhlad
recognizing our responsibility TO the people
as the source and ultimate responsibility of All
po1ucal power, heartily endorse the present
democratic administration as a power for re.
form and progress, as the exemplification of
the true principles of the peoples govern
ment, as the purifier of the disease and cor
ruptOn inflicted by the republican marty unon
US IN the past as real and insurmountable
barrier 70 the dangerous course of trusts and
monopohes so long under the protection of the
republican party to the spirit of centralization
partists of America.
ave heartily endorse the nomination of the
st. Louis convention and accord to Cleveland
and thurman the banner that will lead the
democratic hosts to victory not only because
tnelr past services make them statesmen of
the highest type of the day, but because they
represent me peoples wishes in throwing off
the yoke of taxation, because they are arrayed
in the might OF right against ali evils of gov
eminent for few.
I'VE believe i'm the reduction of the tariff as
announced in our presidents message and the
Mills bill and we rest not in our belief until we
have shown the agricultural state of Kansas
now tney are unprotected by their gods of pro-
lection and how they buy their clothes
with two bushels of wheat instead of one
That especially the seventh congressional dis
tr1ct OF Kansas Is not a manufacturing dis
trfct, asking for the enrichment of certain
manufacturers, but a farming district praying
for lOw-priced necessities Of life That the com.
munity I'm It's smallest branches may know pros
perity but we do not pose as the enemy of whis-
ky on the right hand and beg for free whisky
on the left hand. The former is the idol OF the
republican party Of Kansas, while the latter is
the idol OF the republican party of the United
States.
I'VE are in favor of the repeal of all laws
that confer upon private corporations the
privilege of issuing currency based upon the
credit of the government and the substitution
OF greenbacks receivable for all dues ts the

What the Engineers Saw.

A general strike is still possible, as some of
the engineers, fremen and brakemen think that
they are in duty bound to support the switch
men, who have always given them help. 1t was
said last night that unless the superintendent
OF the various roads are willing TO settle the
trouble by arbitration they need not be sur
prised if all the engineers. fremen and brake
men 20 out within the next twenty.four hours.
They held another meeting and took what
is represented to be final action by
deciding to quit work unless the
roads show a disposition to treat
with the switchmen. A resolution was passed
pledgiug the switchmen support, and providing
for the appointment of a grievance committee,
on which are engineers and frsmen from each
road. This committee is TO solicit q meeting
with the superintendents and urge that the
trouble with the s%witchuen be arbitrated. If
it is not granted there will be. it is said, a gen.
sral strike. ave want the trouble arbitrated,"
l do not believe the determination of
ton OF the engineers is taken independent of
any advice from Chief Arthur. He could not
order the men out. but many Of the engineers
profess TO believe that he will sanction their
action. Arthur has again been asked to come to
Indianapolis, AND he is expected here tomorrow.
The members OF the brotherhood claim that,
notwithstanding the great drain of the Burling-
ton strike, they have plenty of money with
which to make q prolonged fight.
