New YORK, July 25.-The Herdli's
Washington correspondent says the
administration is considering the
question whether Guatemala had a
right 10 seize rifles, etc, ON the

that Guatemala has committed a
gross breach Of international law and
courtesy in seiZing part Of the cargo
Of the steamer COliHIa, a vessel
flying the United States flag, even
though the articles seized were
munitions Of war destined for Sal

The g. o. p. press after using many
lying exedients to keep the farmers out
politics, have finally, after the grand
effort of the Topeka Capital, settled to
the dead level of nothingness. And
now, just how ring editor obtains copy
to fill up with is conudrum. The COM
mand to the farmers to stay at home and
kill cockle-bnrrs went the rounds of the
press so often that it got to be chestnut
and was, by the farmers, treated with
dorision. Another chestnut that went
the rounds six or eight times and served
to make copy, was that the cause of
hard times among the farmers was their
extravaganza and wastefulness. The
partisan scare was tried, but instead of
the farmers breaking ranks they only
drew the closer together. The cry of
sorehead was answered by the farmers
nominating men never in politics. Beat
en- all along the line, the Capital tried
the disloyalty scare, but the people are
up to all such idiocy, and 60 right
ahead in the path they have chosen,
caring no more for the racket set up by
the ring editors than if the ring editors
did not exist. The ring editors cannot
discuss principles, because they have no
principles. Doodle is what ring editor
lives for and the only tactics he employs
is abuse. The ring editor is like a hog
in that he is never at home only when
his snout is turning up dirt. The ring
editor ia a tool, but never a patriot.
The ring editor is fraud and disgrace
to the noble profession of editor, and
any advice from a ring editor to farm
or is a piece Of presumption that has
never been equaled in all the worlds
history. The' ring influence is on the
Wane.

HOmesteads.
NV;llle.

In the Republican state platform al
fusion is made to the homestead act,
the act being characterized AS ''most
benifcent." That reminds us that in
'56, '5S and go, the battle-cry Of the old
war horses of the Republican party
was Gland for the landless." But the
authors of the homestead law have long
since passed from the control of the
so-called Republican party, and instead
we have set of robbers. The Repub-
lican party of to-day is dominated by a
class of politicians who are working,
might and main, to strip the homestead
er of the home given him by Uncle Sam
in time when congress believed in peo-
pie owning their homes. A reference
to the policy and acts of the lattcr-day
Republicans will show conclusively that
any claim it may set up to gratitude on
that score is false. The Republican
party in its leaders, after tile war, in
augurated and carried out the policy OF
contraction, and AS a result, in ten years
fifty thousand families were made home
less, and the policy was, and is, contin-
ued. Year by year, the number of
home owners made homeless by policy
that has the effect to impoverish the
poor and make the rich richer becomes
more numerous until the boast that
America is nation of home-Owners has
ceased to be true. The year of 1890,
when its record is made, will probably
show that in Kansas alone, five thou
sand farmers have been made homeless
under boosted Republican rule. 1t is
grand record, indeed, to give the people
land in the wilds of the west, and after
the homesteader, through incredible toll,
has converted a wilderness into para
disc, and is broken i'm health because of
toll and hardships, to surround him
with legislative conditions that strip
him of that home and transfer 1t to

Every Republican convention, nation
al, state or county, from Maine to Cali
fornia, s.points with pride" to the
q achievements of the, Republican party.
No Republican convention would be
complete without pointing with PRIDE"
Self praise is. half scandal. IS A party
that does so much pointing needs watch
ing, and just now the people are on the
watch, and are not only watching, but
are Investigating. Investigation has led
TO pointing in which there is no pride
I worth mentioning. Investigation shows
that the grand army of Republican and
Democratic soldiery was paid in d-pre-
ciated money and the Wall street bond
Z holder was paid in gold. Investigation
shows that the bondholder has already
received four dollars to where the old
soldier has received one dollar. Inves-
tigation shows that 1t will take more
corn, more wheat, more cattle, or more
of any farm produce to pay the remain
ing national debt than it would to have
paid allat the close of the war. Inves-
tigation shows that tariff is an indi-.
rect tax paid by the consumer. Investi-
CATION shows that the farmer produces
more wealth and owns less than at any
other time in the history Of the United
States. Investigation shows that the
farmer in 1850 owned IS per cent. OF
wealth and paid 81 per cent. of taxes,
but now only owns "a per cent. wealth
and still pays IS per cent. of taxes.
d Investigation has shown that the people
of the United States have a recorded
debt equal to the assessed valuation of
all our wealth, and that such indebted
ness is, and will be, paid, under the
present conditions, by the laborer or
wealth producer, and is a perpetual
mortgage upon the brain and muscle of
generations yet unborn. Investigation
shows that merchants, farmers and me-
chanics are losing their homes in large
numbers and cannot regain homes under
present conditions. Investigation shows
that large numbers of men, women and
children suffer for the necessaries of
life in the midst of great plenty. In
vestigation shows that the politician of
the day, and the ring press, are doing
all that is possible to keep the people in
ignorance. Investigation shows that the
people have not true friend In con-
gress. This is some of the peoples
pointing, and if the g. o. p. conventions
can take pride in such record, all
right; but the people are not i'm the
pride pointing business and are ceasing
to take stock in the hypocritical preten-
tions of the pride pointiug robbers.
