The latest in the way of proposed
combines of gigantic magnitude is
''The Railway Investors Trust" to
be organized, ostensibly, to protect
railroads from the rulnOus cut rate
policy, but really to consolidate all
the railway corporations of the Unit
ed States into one mammoth combine,
whose aggregate wealth, influence
and power will enable it to defy any
attempted interference on the part of
people with anything it sees fit to IN
dertake ~ Champion.

Wonders will never cease! A gem
tleman informs us that the editor of
the HERALD stated 10 him that prom
inent democrat had suggested the
idea of combining the Democratic and
republican parties in this county. this
fall, the democrats to take sheriff and
the republicans the balance of the
ticket. That would be a nice dose II
the people could be induced to swaI-
low it, but it won't work: peoDle like
to know the principles of men who
run for Office, and a democrat will
poll more votes on a democratic tick
ct than he will on republican. IF
such an alliance is made we are will
ing to lay aside party expediencv and
help the people to down it, which
they would do IN short Order.-PbiI
hp8buFg Democrat.
Most assuredIy! It would be a re-
dioulous idea to combine the reput-
lican party, with its three to four
hundred majority, to a decreprd old
democratic party with one foot in the
political grave aud the other one kick
ing back in the ranks. What IS the
good of party if you can't use It?
If the democrats have no confidence
in their party let them leave it or die
with it, but combine-never.

S. D. DECKER.

NORTON KAN, Sept. 9TH, 1889.
Hon. SAMUEL D. DECKER,
Oberlin, Kansas.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the End
inst. was delivered to me at Phillips
burg by Mr. Street, on Sept. 4th, since
which time I have been busy in court.
Your proposition contained therein,
to submit the question as to which of
US is the regular nominee of the Re
publican party for the Office of Dis
trict Judge, by virtue Of the action of
the convention at Atwood, has been
considered by me and by such of my
friends as it was possible for me TO
consult up to this time.
While I think that your claim of
being the regular nominee of that con
ventiOn IS entirely untenable and also
believe that I was honestly and fairly
nominated by a majority of the legal
ly elected delegates participating in
the proceedings of that convention,
yet I am aware that a respectable mi
nOrity Of the Republicans of the Dis
trict question the regularity Of my
nomination. 1 am also aware that
the fact that the claim on the part of
each of us of beng the regular nom
inee of the party is a prolific source
of strife and contention throughout
the District and is liable to result in
the defeat of some of the Republican
nominees for county offices, and will
arouse antagonism that will last for
years.
In such submission you have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose,
while on the other hand I have every
thing to lose and nothing to gain,
which, as between individuals, makes
it an unequal proceeding.
However for the reasons above in
dIcated am willing to submit the
question as to which of us is the reg
ulsr nominee of the party for Dis
trict Judge, to the State Central Com
mittee and abide by their decision, as
proposed by you, and to effect that
result, propose that you meet me at
Norton at the close of my term of
court in Phillips county. Court will
close there the latter part of the week,
and will notify you by telegraph as
soon as l arrive at Norton. I will
then sign with you a formal written
agreement covering the details of the
submission and agreeing to abide the
result and forward the same to the
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee.
Very Truly Yours,

Last Wednesday, September 4th,
Governor L. I. Humphrey pardoned
Mrs. Henrietta Cook, of Osborne
county, who has been confined in
the penitentiary thirteen yenrs, for
the murder of her husband. Mr..
Cook was subject to epileptic fits, and
one night he died. Evidences of ar
senical poisoning were found, and
the jury decided that Mrs. Cook had
administered the poison. It trans
pires now that Mr.. Cook was in the
habit of taking arsenic on his own
account. The investigation of the
case convinced Gov. Humphrey that
Mrs. Cook was innocent, and to-day
he granted her an unconditional par
don.

DEAR SIR: Being informed that
you are claiming the nomination from
a Republican judicial convention held
at Atwood on the Doth inst, and fully
believing that I. myself, am the nom
inee of the only regularly and prop
erly organized convention held at
said place on said date, but realizing
the fact that it would be lnexpedient
and to the injury of the Republican
party of this judicial district for two
republican candidates for the Office
of judge to be in the field at the same
time, and believing the interest of
the party to be paramount to the in
terest Of any one or two men-nOw
Sir, in behalf of harmony, I make you
the following proposition, viz: That
we jointly submit the question as to
who is the regular nominee for Judge
of the Seventeenth judicial District
of the State of Kansas, to the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, of this
State; and after they have made full
and thorough investigation of the
case, that we abide by their decision.
An answer to this letter will be ex-
pected on or before the 9Th inst.
Yours Respectfully,
S. D. DECKER.

THE POSSIBILITIES of GREATLY
INCREASED LONGEVITY.

The eminent French Scientist, DR.,
Brown Sequard in recent communi-
cation to the French Academy OF
Medicine, claims to have discovered
the "elixir of life" which being injec-
ted under the skin is warranted to
counteract, what he terms, "the dis
ease Of senility," and 'infuse fresh
doses Of vital energy into constitu-
tutions shortened by age Or illness"
The daily press reports numerous tri-
als Of this wonderful elixir by emi-
nent physicians both Of Europe and
America with remarkable results, and
tho means Of materially increasing
the average Of human lifo are there
fore apparently within the reach OF
every mortal.
The supremacy Of American geni-
GUS is again exempliAed however, in
the discovery Of " The Art and Phi.
losophy Of Great Longevity, or How
to Attain Vigorous and Youthful Old
Age" without the aid Of the hypo-
dermic syringe Of the use Of this won
derful elixir
DIR. A. Wilfred Hall, Of New York
claims to have made this most mar
velous discovery Of system Of treat
mont which he assures us "acts so
radically and fundamentally upon the
vital circulation, without the least
danger to the most delicate constitu-
ton, that there is not form OF dis
case that flesh is heir to, which will
not be affected fayorably to the pa.
tient by an intelligent use OF this
method of treatment" The details

THE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE.

1t is generally understood by men-
bers Of tho Farmers Alliance, that ono
OF tho great objects Of the Order is
the establishment Of an exchanges and
yet it is undoubtedly q fact that but u
small portion Of tho membership fully
understand the principles upon which
the Exchangejs tobo founded, or tho
results that arehoped to be attained
through its instrumcntality. There
is a short sighted fear in tho minds OF
many that the funds will be misap-
propriated and the objects thereby
suffer defeat. As the State Alliance
which will hold It's Annual session ut
Newton before tho issue OF this nun
Der Of the ADVOCATE, will undoubtedly
mako provision for u state Exchange,
and as it's early success will depend
upon the promptness with which our
members give it their financial sup
port we deem u few words on this sub
iect advisable at thoprosent time.
There can be no possible danger OF
loss to the Order II ordinary business

Each Sub-Alliancolay The foundation
Of the entire system OF security by
making its trustee responsible for the
amount Of it's contribution to tho TO

in turn requires ample bonds from the
board Of directors, and tho board OF
directors will require alike bond from
the State business Agent and all 9th
ers into whose hands any part OF thO
funds may be placed. Ut must be ap
parent to any man Of ordinary busi

and we may dismiss this thought witt
