A correspondent Of 1.-The Albany Times Inc

what hc calls a " Catcchism Of Democracy" Inc

The only trouble about this catcchlsm is that
there are a large number of influential DcmoCyats

MORE TROUBLE.

The comparatively few lawyers of
Kansas who held, against the attorney
general OF the state, that the original
package decision and the subsequent
congressional legislation, rendered it nee
e5sary to re-enact the prohibitory law be-
fore Kansas could again enforce prohi-
bition, will read the news from the
United States circuit court at Topeka
with interest this morning. What, be-
tween supreme court and circuit court
decisions, and congressional and state
legislation, and the police commissions
and joints, Republican Kansas and
Prohibition Kansas, " are having mon
key and parrot time of it. The present
state senate without doubt would re-en-
act the present prohibitory law, but who
can tell what the next house will do,
made up as is threatened, of Republic
ans, "Reminiscences, Democrats, the
Alliance, Independents and Labor Union
ties. This decision Will undoubtedly be-
come another issue and live factor in a
campaign already loaded down with

FLOUNDERING.

Some Of the Peoples party managers
who have been pulling the strings from
behind the curtains for Jumping Jerry
| Simpson, at first thought their automa-
ton could hold hand with Col Halo
well, the true champion of the peoples
cause, in public discussion, and set him
up at Larned; but that one experience
was enough. They then fell upon the
scheme of following along after Col
Hallowell and had Jere appear at a few
places after the colonel had appeared
and presented the issues of the 4mpaign,
if possible, to counterfeit their
effects. They soon found that this would
not do; that the doctrines proclaimed by
the colonel are as seed sown in good
ground that forthwith spring up and be-
gin to bear fruit.
They have now changed their program
and are making appointments at the
same points of Col. HallowelFs, but just
ahead of him, hoping thereby, no doubt,
to forestall him. But they will find that
this won't work any more successfully
than their other schemes; it will give the
colonel chance to meet and refute Jer-
rvs sophistries and vagaries while they
are fresh in mind. If they wild stick to
this last arrangement they will do Col.
Hallowell, not only, a special favor but
the people whom they hope to mislead
and deceive as well. Let the work go on.

The Kansas City Star calls the resubmis-
sion fight in Kansas campaign of lie. "
That is pretty strong for an independent
paper that is usually Democratic, but it
takes something pretty strong TO do justice
to the case.-EmpOria Republican.
We submit whether the Star is compe-
tent to pass upon this question, with all
its independence and Democratic pro-
clivities? Fact is, until comparatively
recent date the Star was one of the
strongest opponents that prohibition had
in the west, but for reasons best known
TO itself it abandoned that side and
espoused the other, despite its independ-
ence and Democratic leanings. But, all
this aside, the question that naturally
suggests itself is, who is doing the lying?
And who is to answer? Not the Star,
nor yet the Republican.

II has commenced to look as if the as
sertion that the Alliance was originated
in the south to down the Grand Army of
the Republic was true. Polk, the south
ern head of the Alliance, who a rebel

to shoot into Pennsylvania regiment of
prisoners whom he had disarmed, and
whose watch word in Kansas has been
Down with ingalls,, has the cheek to
ask ex-union Kansas soldiers to vote
against Ingalls,, who for years stood the
special advocate of liberal pension laws.
So far as anybody knows Folks only
grievance lies in the fact that ingalls, is
not satisfied with skinning rebels, but
that he persists in mailing up that hides
in exposed places.

THE STEAMER OF THE FUTURE.

The lettering of the record of the ocean
steamships goes slowly, only minute or
so at time, but the fact of the sailing
schedules of the two great steamships,
the Teutonic and City of New York, hav-
ing fallen upon identical dates, the rae
ing that will follow between them will
be likely to cause a good drop in the
record before the end Of the season.
The improvements in safety and luxury
of vessels keep up with that in the speed,
however, and these boats, says the New
York Sun, apart from making Europe
less than a weeks journey from Amer
lea, "are steadily carrying us all toward
that impressive and interesting vessel
which Sir Nathaniel Barnaby described
in his address before the Iron and Steel
institute at Pittsburg on Thursday last. "
This vessel, says the Sun, is TO be three

There have been changes in the tariff

breeding purposes shall be admitted free,
provided that no such animal shall be
admitted free unless pure bred of a rec

book of record established for that breed

JERE SIMPSON ON WICHITA.

MEADE, Kan, Oct. 16, 1890.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
While listening to Jere Simpson yes
terday l wondered if those of your city
who pride themselves in its greatness
knew of the desultory, not to say insult
ing, reference made to Wichita by him.
He spoke of everything emanating from
your city as rotten. Said Wichita would
want to store her rotten eggs in the
warehouse-to be furnished the farmers
by congress @ He said it was no won
der that the Prince referring to Halo
welD was bad egg, as he came from
Wichita. If there be a citizen of the
Peerless for Jeremiah Simpson, after the
insult he thus wantonly gives your city.
that citizen or citizens should 90 south.
as they have no pride there. OF conrse
he thought to make capital at Wichita s
expense, but among sensible people he
lost what little respect they had for him.
Col. Hallowell should ignore him abso-
lutely in his campaign. He is not worth
noticing, and l would not now do so but
that some of your people may know
what insults he is heaping upon your
CITY. Fraternally, T. J. PALMER.

WHAT JERE SAID AT GARDEN CITY.

''Judge Sluss of Wichita, is ridiculing
a warehouse system, and says if it should
become law, he would want to put up
eggs and get warehouse receipts; and
Sluss says, how would the government
find its security when it finds the eggs
had rotted after being stored? Judge
Sluss talks good deal about rottenness;
having lived in Wichita so long he knows
all about rottenness, and rotten eggs of
all kinds; and l must say that of all the
rottenness and rotten eggs for which
Wichita is celebrated, in my opinion the
rottenest one Wichita ever undertook to
hatch was the one she dropped at
Dodge CITY"

The canning industry is developing, or
at least has been up TO the present. more
rapidly perhaps than any other, and has
proven a most valuable auxiliary to
agriculture. horticulture. stock raising,
etc, in putting the surplus products in
these lines in ready marketable shape.
In this important line of industry tin is
not only an important but an indispensi-
bic factor. OF course this is not the only
demand for tin: there are hundreds of
other uses for it; the canning industry
alone presents a sufficient demand for it
to yield its manufacturers an immense
profit, even at old prices. There are
1900 canning industries in the United
States. They employ 100000 hands.
they use the vegetable products of over
one million acres of farm lands, and last
wear they produced 100000 cases of
canned goods. 20 say nothing of meats
and other articles of food. 1t is not
likely that the tariff will very materially
retard the industry. but it viii enhance
