IT is true old saying that chickens

in the case of the Kansas farmers who
last fall voted 600 majority for pro-

throes of desperate struggle with the
binding Irvine monopoly, a soulless
ssprotected'' corporation which has de-
cided to compel them to pay an in
creased tribute upon every sheaf of

The republican land-bOomers, who
got into Oklahoma ahead of the pro-
cession and contrary to law, are not
having as easy sailing as they may
wish. Money and influence go long
way in republican politics, but when it
comes to robbing men of their consti-
tutional rights, money and influence do
not always win.

VERIFY the guttersnipe is awake!
On April IL the weekly DEMOCRAT
contained notice of the suicide of w.
H. Bright on April II. On the 9th
the daily guttersnipe startled its readers
with the following astounding piece Of
news:
ssMr.Wright who formerly lived here,
and ran democratic paper. committed
suicide few days since. He was a
very nice man when not under the in
fiuence of liquor, but unfortunately this
was seldom the case, and this was the
cause of his DEATH"
You should be careful, Brother
Townsley, and not spring the news too
fresh upon q long suffering public.

AND now they come back with the
report that the land, or most of it, in
Oklahoma is not adapted to agriculture.
Strange the boomers had not found

Our court house park has now be-
credit to the county. The shade trees

The south end of the park is now
pretty well seeded to grass, and the

THE exodus from Oklahoma has
fairly begun. Remember, boomers.
that if you want work you can get it

EVERY day furnishes fresh indica-
tions Of the hardships worked upon the
working people of America by the pro-
tective tariff system which fos-
tors trusts and combinations at the
expense of the laborer. Hardly day
passes but we hear of some large factory
cutting down wages or closing its doors
for certain period in order that the
market may not be overstocked. The
puddlers in the Lebanon, Pa, nut
works are out on strike against %
per cent reduction of wages. Last week
the Clark o. N. T. thread works, of N.
j., reduced the wages of their employees
20 per cent. Both are protected indus
tries, and the stock holders of each are
growing rich while the workmen starve.
j. c. CLARK, a wealthy capitalist of
Rochester, n. Y, has just finished an
examination of the salt fields of Kansas,
and, his verdict, as given in an inter-
view with the Kansas City Erening
NeaCs, is that, kansas is certainly
destined, at an early date, to become
the principle center for the supply of
salt in the United States" 1t is to be
deplored that Great Bend has not made
better progress in the development of
her salt industry.
THE Cherokee Indians will hold their
annual election in August, and prepar-
ations are being made for the coming
event, which promises to be exciting.
One of the main questions will be
whether or not the Cherokee strip
shall be sold, and as cattle syndicates
are deepl-- interested therein there will
be exciting times, and much money
spent in the way of Doodle.
JAY GOULD, and Bro. Junkin, of the
Sterling Bulletin, seem to have locked
horns in deadly fray. Look out, Jay;
Junkin is red-headed and religious, be-
sides being fair average newspaper
man, and your interests ma suffer, to
say nothing OF the great danger of
qusrreling with a republican editor
who has heretofore stood by high tariff
and the money power.
THERE was man in our town, and
he was wOndrous wise, for when he
marked his prices down he did adver-
tise. And when he saw his trade in
crease, with all his might and main, he
lower still marked every price and ad-
vertised again. And when he adver-
tised again his rivals loudly swore, to
see folks rush with might and main to
patroniZe his store. And while they
sat in solitude and saw his custom win,
that man behind the counter stood and
raked the shekels in. And when he
raked the shekels in, he saw his fortune
rising, he took a goodly lot of tin and
kept on advertising. Each day a gen.
erous sum he'd sink, and demonstrate
full plain, the more one pays for
printers ink, the more will be his gain.

IT is a true old saying that "chickens

THE Sterling Ne,cs bid 1 cent a
square for the city printing, and got
left, the Champion getting the printing
at less than half legal rates, and the
Nears devotes half column of editorial
to the abuse of the council for not ac-
cepting the 1 cent square bid. The
council was all right, and the NeUs
man was all wrong. When a news
paper man deliberately goes to work to
cut his own throat by offering to do
work for nothing, and pretends that he
is doing it for the benefit of the city he
makes an ass of himself in the eyes of
the craft, and should be made an ex-
ample of in the eyes of the people. The
city printing in Great Bend will be let
next Tuesday, and if there is man in
town who will do the printing for COM
paratively nothing he ought to be
treated as the Sterling council treated
their I-cent man. We would like to
tell Tom Powers, in this connection,
that we are disappointed in him-he
came too near the 1-cent man.

more harm than good. For example in
years past how many poor fever sufferers,
burning with an internal fire ami thirst, were
buried to an untmely grave because not al

old time treatment of fevers, as foolish as
the adage for colds. At last one cunning
