1T must require rather an elastic
conscience TO enable the Emporia Re
publican and the Atchison Champion,
which so bitterly oppose the re-elec-
tion of Senator Ingalls, and tell 80
many truths concerning his character
and treachery to the interests of the
people, to support party that con
tinues to endorse him in every one Of
It's conventions. We admire the fair
ness of these journals much more
than their consistency.

II is said that these same capitalists
have their eye on the development Of

government will cheerfully send out
a survey and inspection force, OK

may be at as little expense as possible
in determining just where TO com

When will the great American peo-
pie get a little common sensei When
will they learn to take their own
money, hire their own labor, develop
the resources OF their own land,
operate at actual cost their own means
of transportation and irrigation and
thus enable them to permanently own
their own homesl
They will begin to exercise this
common sense the very day they cease
to vote for any political party which
is Che obedient servant Of capitalists
and which plays every advantage into
the hands of a favored few.
Let the people select from their
own ranks men whose interests are
identical with their own, and then let
them constantly and increasingly de-

We are asked il the entire club
must be sent at one time TO get the
benefit Of the club rates on yearly
subscriptions. In answer to this we
have to say that it is impossible for
us TO keep account of partial clubs in
order TO know when club is made
up. II our friends will reflect
a moment they will see that this is
true. Receiving as we do, subscrip-
tions from all parts of this state and
from other states, we would have to
open a regular book account with
thousands Of men who are sending us
subscribers, in order to know anything
about them. Think Of the magnitude
Of this task aud you will see that it is
too much of an undertaking.

LOCAL committees are making
a serious mistake in securing so
many speakers for their meetings.
No one of the speakers on the
stump can do justice to his sub
ject il he has to divide the time, as
has been the case in too many OF our
meetings. One good speaker for the
afternoon, with local talent perhaps
for the forenoon meeting, would give
better satisfaction than the present
method, and enable the state central
committee to cover the state much
more effectually than it Is being done.
Local committees should consider
these things, and not monopolize the
speakers.

NEW MONOPOLY.


pose Of carrying forward a hugo irri-
cation scheme. One million FIVE hun
dred thousand acres Of land in the
Gila Bend country Of Arizona may
be converted by irrigation into fer
tility.
Mr., Eugene Waihy, wealthy and
influential politician Of Arizona is at
the head Of the scheme and is now in
Washington d. O., perfecting his title
TO a strip Of land which is 30 located
that It may be turned into a reservoir
into which the waters Of the Gila,
Salt and other rivers may be con
Quoted, and the supply will be quite
sfIicient to water the one million and
a half acres.
Without doubt Mr.. WaiAy will be
successful in obtaining what he wants
at Washington. A capitalist never
fails in having his little schemes
assisted at the nations capital. Any
little favor in the way Of a patent, a
permit or an appropriation is always
granted.
These capitalists who are seeking
investment for their surplus thous-
ands will never do one stroke OF work,
never put one hours labor into the
construction Of the irrigation works.
Their money will employ for a time a
large number Of men whose hard
labor will be secured for the lowest
figures. And the competing, starving
herds Of unemployed will consent to
drudge at a very low figure, If not the
"pauper labor Of Europe" is easily
obtainable. After tho works are com
pleted the herd will be turned loose
to tramp until some other monopolis-
tic scheme demands their services
If the interval between jobs is too
long, il the stomachs Of these human
machines get too hungry there may
be few riots just to lend variety 10
the programme and to furnish the
Pinkertons with a job,
The outcome of all this splendid
development Of natures forces will
be this; the capitalists will own the
lands and the farmers who raise the
crops will be obliged to pay whatever
rates the water company demands or
the water supply will be shut off. Is
there any guarantee that the irriga-
tion company will be any more leni-
ent than the railroad companies have
been? will they not put on all the toll
the traffic will bear? Even If these
capitalists sell the lands to poor de-
luded people who believe that they
can build up for themselves homes
where their declining years may be
spent and which they may bequeath
to their children, will not these same
lands after they shall have been inn
proved and made ten fold more
valuable by the hard labor of the
farmer, eventually pass back into the
possession of the capitalists So long
as agriculture permits itself to be at
the mercy Of corporations, be they

An Agricultural Hint from Gladstone.
T E.,.,f.,4 4

A few years ago Mr.. Gladstone. speaking to the
farmers in a Scotch district where agriculture
was greatly depressed, asked them why they id
not try the production of jam for the city mar
kets. He pointed out that the small fruits
from which this luxury could be compounded
would grow we'll in their SOIL and that for
such goods there was always q good market.
The Tory editors laughed at Mr. Gladstone's
kitchen economy, but the Scotch farmers took
the matter seriously and have found their profit
in it. A large and productive industry has
sprung from the old statesman's suggestion.
1t is along some such lines as these that the
farmers will most surely draw TO themselves
larger share Of the surplus wealth of the
country. That surplus is abundant, but all
sorts of people with keen wits and strenuous en-
ergies are competing for il. Those who have
it are ready to exchange it for qualifications of
various sorts. The problem is to please them.
Within the bounds of innocent and wholesome
delectatiOn there is a wide range for the exer-
else Of invention by the od-producers of the
nation. Ifthey cOnfine themselves to the bust
ness of raising corn and wheat, and pork and
beef, their market will be narrow they can
widen it. almost indefinitely, il they will de-
vote TO their business the same kind of ingenui-
ty that manufacturers Of all classes are con-
stantly exercising in their efforts to attract
to their own Golfers the abundance Of the land.

A medley Of these stories were poured into
our ears till we reached the old storehouse,
which was a rather ruinous square building
of two stories, the only entrance being a
small door into a lower room partially filled
with bags of rice. A ladder communicated
with the loft This was empty, and here we
deposited our goods and shotguns, leaving
our servant in charge. The crowd now
turned back, and only our guide remained,

retired, saying that be would return the next

that she would probably be angry, as they
had stolen her cubs only three days before.
