Why Support the Home Paper?

why 6uppOrC Lne Home Paper!
Why? Because, if for no better lie =
son, the home newspaper supports you.
You wake up once in a while, perhaps,
and torsaking your private business, in
which for years you have been immersed,
you turn out and spend day or an hour
for the public good-at the polls fighting
against the reelection of boodleT, at
public meeting talking for water works
or some new enterprise then you
return to your pursuit, leaving the news
paper to clinch the victory or protect the
retreat, as the case may be. The news
paper man has been so long the watch
man on the tower, or the man on guard,
that his service in this line is taken as a
matter of course, and the value of that
service has fallen too far in public a2pre-
citation. But the newspaper man is not
whining. He cares whether his service is
appreciated or not-everybody who is
anybody is sensitive to appreciation or
the denial of it; but he knows what
belongs to his guild, and knowing, he
is going TO continue his performance.
Still, when reasons are wanted for sup
porting the home paper, it is fair to
say that the newspaper should be sup
ported because If is a daily public
benefit, contending for the public good
when the public itself is drowsy or
slumbering deeply.
But that, you may say, is a senti-
mental reason; SO it is, partly. No
self-representing newspaper man would
urge it along. The strict business rea-
son for supporting the home paper is
that it pays, directly, as well as indi
rectly. Let two men try two opposite
policies. Let one man advertise in the
home paper-not putting in an "ad."

quently, always with the same care,
and keeping the series going steadily.
Let the other man try any plan he
pleases of pushing business-chromos,
prices, BRASS bands, balloon real estate
tricks, personal solicitation from house
to house-anything he pleases- and
see how it will come out. For the same
money the newspaper advertiser will
beat the other man two to onel-hansas

Notes.

There we're fifty-eight teams in the pro-
cession, besides number on horseback.
We had the pleasure of forming several
new acquaintance Saturday, which was
very agreeable-to US at least.
We resume labor now with renewed
vigor after seeing one Kansas editor dis
play two whole dollars at once.
1t isn't every public speaker who can
manage a refractory collar with the ease
and grace displayed by the speaker Sat
urday.
Wouldn't Saturday have been boss
day for sneak thieves and burglars to get
in their work at the farm houses in Trego
county.
Never were truer words spoken from
any rostrum than the words of Judge
PETER: mo danger threatens the farmer
who is out of debt" Paste this in your
hat.
It would be much easier to take the as
SCISSORS returns and give the names of
those who remained at home than to IN
dertake to mention the prominent Trego
county farmers in town Saturday. They
were all here (almost) and brought their
wives, babies, sisters. cousins, aunts and
sweethearts.
The farmers have just cause to feel
proud of their display on Saturday. Alb
solutely nothing bad can be said about
it. We never witnessed as large a gath
ering of people where intelligent men
and handsome women were more promi-
nent than at this. More than this, all
were quiet and orderly, not fight, not a
drunken man to be seen, and We were es-
pecially pleased te note the conspicuous
absence of noisy street arguments, so
commonly INDUCED in by over-enthusias-
tic participants on such occasions.
Speaking of applause, did it ever occur
to you that there was better way to con-
vince speaker or singer or actor that you
are pleased than by trying to jam your
feet through the floor. We saw young
yahoo of about is tender years. with a
face as devoid of intelligent expression as
acabbage is of patriotism, and an ancient
paper collar roosting serenely on top OF
his dirty coat, sitting in the front row, al
ternately squirting tobacco juice through
his teeth and sinking into state Of inoc-
nous desuetude, who at every outburst OF
applause would suddenly realize that his
turn had arrived again and with the
Yiciousness' of an untamed broncho, pro-
coed to do his duty with both feet. II
the original stamp act" was one-tenth as
bad as this no wonder at the revolution
of 1776.

ALLIANCE MASS MEETING.
Big Crowd, Big Speech and Big
Time Generally.

When the announcement was made
several weeks ago, that there would be a
mass meeting held at the court house on
May 18th, to listen to an address by Judge
PETER, we naturally supposed that fair
crowd would be on hand, but did not for
moment suppose that they would all
come But they did, and procession
which would have done credit to thick
~ settled county of an eastern state and
an audience which literally packed our
spacious court room from the Judges
rostfum to the foot of the stairway, con-
clusively proves how thoroughly in ear
nest are our farmers in this strike for lib
erty and equality.
The PROCESSION formed at the foot Of
Franklin street and, headed by a martial
band and the Stars and Stripes, and il
terspersed with banners inscribed with
the names of the various sub-alliances
and appropriate notices, proceeded north
to Easter avenue, thence east to Genesee
street, then south to the railroad, then
west to Washington street, thence north
to Warren avenue where they disbanded
for dinner.
But the principal point ofinterest seem
ed to be at the court house, where, reai
zing the Importance OF securing a seat,
an impatient crowd had secured every
available space a full hour before the
time announced for the speaking. At
length Pres't. 1. L. McGarvie called to
order and introduced Hon. John A. Nell
son, who in his usual eloquent manner,
in behalf of the Mayor and citizens, well
coined the speaker of the day and his en-
thusiastic audience to the city, This was
followed by a song by Hudson Harlan
and A. S. Peacock which was well recei-
we'd, after which
JUDGE ". A. PETER
was introduced and for two and a-half
hours the eloquent editor of the Kansas
Farmer held his audience while he recited
the condition Of the people-compared it
with that of the pampered few, and then
gave his ideas of the remedy.
After comparing the methods pursued
by the farmers, blacksmiths, shoemakers,
wagonmakers and other mechanics of 30
years ago, with the machinery methods Of
today, the speaker launched out into his
theme proper which was the question of
finance. The ease with which he handled
his subject, and the number of statistical
books carried with him, show conclusive
ly that the Judge is by no means engaged
ID new field of labor, being fluent and
forcible speaker as we'll as profound 10
gioian. His portrayal Of the alarming
condition of financial affairs was start
lingly true, the remedies suggested were
the free coinage OF silver, and to relieve
capitalists from the arduous task OF sup
plying the people with money by loaning
the government surplus directly to the
people.
That the speakers remarks were well
received was attested by the frequen mt
and hearty applause.
