SPEAKING OF FLAGS.

Jerry Simpson. candidate for the Peo-
pies party, that lock the doors TO keep
the people OUT, for congress, once said
the red flag waved by the Chicago an
archiSts was as good as the stars and
stripes. This is supposed TO be bid for
the soldier vote in the big SEVENTH
Lyons Republican.
Jeems Hallowell, the Republican can
didate for congress, once made some ugly
remarks concerning that same dear flag,
so ugly in fact, that his soldier audience
were reused to frenzy, and Jeems came
near suffering bodily harm in conse-
quence. The substance of them were,
THAT the American flag inspired nc
patriotism in his breast when it waved
over prohibition state" This is sup
posed to be bid for the Resubmlssionlst
vote in the big seventh?-Central Kansas
Democrat.
Upon reading the above we at once
wrote to Colonel Hallowell, and received
the following reply. 1t speaks for itself.
Hon. w. r. White, Geneseo, Kansas.
NV Dear Sir and Friend:-Your kind
letter of the 18th received here during
my absence, and when l returned this
last week / went Immediately TO the
west end of the district, and hence the
delay in answering. The clipping that
you enclose from the Central Kansas
Democrat. and which l return herewith
according to your request, / had seen be-
fore receiving yours as friend had sent
me the paper. You will notice in this
clipping that the editor says the sub
stance of them were that ''the American
flag inspired no patriotism in his breast
when it waved over prohibition
state" l say to you that the man OF
fiend who penned these words and
credited them to me is a wilful and
malicious slanderer, an unmitigated,
ungenerated liar, and will pay 800 for
any respectable evidence that | ever used
such language.
This is intended to offset the truthful
statement that Jerry Simpson proclaimed
in favor of the red flag, statement that
Jeremiah has vet never denied.
Very truly, your friend,
j. r. HALLOwELL.

BITTER FACTS.

II dealers in quinine can prosper and grow rich
with the article the free list" asks the Atchison
Champion, why not dealers in a hundred other
articles that might be named!" We give it up
Wichita Eagle.
That's the proper thing to do. 1t would
be absurd for a sensible person to
monkey with proposition so unreason-
able. The manufacturers of quinine who
prosper reside in Germany, and most of
the article used in the United States is
prepared in that CONTEMPLATION Repub-
can.
The latter clause of the Republicans
statement, above quoted, is substan-
tally correct; yet it is put in such way
as to be misleading. 1t is true that only
about p per cent of the quinine con-
sumed in this country is made here, the
bulk of that imported coming from Ger
many; but the reason or explanation for
this is that the revenue laws of that
country enable the manufacturers there
to obtain the materials from which
quinine is made cheaper than they can
be had here. And vet, nothwithstand-
ing this, and in spite of it, the number
of manufactures of quinine in the Unit
ed States has increased since the tariff
was removed from that article. from two
to nine or ten, and the quantity produced
has also increased in the same proper
ton. although 1t was urged at the time
the duty was removed that if quinine
were put on the free list it could not be
made here at all. SO you see, Brother
Republican, when you go to ''monkeying"
with this and kindred subjects you need
TO be mighty keerful,' or the facts will
play boomerang with you.

In reference TO the matter of live stock
rates of freight to Wichita, mentioned in
yesterday dispatches from Kansas CITY,
IT was stated that the railroad companies.

piled with the order OF the State Railroad
commission in that particular. the rate
charged being too high in some instances
and too low in Others. promised to Line
them up and have the rates thus adj
Justed ready 10 present to the meeting
next Tuesday week as a basis for the adj
justment of matter at issue. This NAV
or it NAV not be a fair basis. In the
lining up process the rate has been 50
changed as TO advance it in several in
stances considerably above the rate now
charged. This the companies have no
right to do. for the simple reason that il
Is a changing Of rates without the thirty
or sixty days notice as required by law.
This Is as much as we care 10 say on the
subject Just now.

THE OCEAN RACERS.

Nothing was settled by the last
race of the Teutonic and the City of New
York across the Atlantic. The Teutonic
did not succeed in breaking the record
which il Is claimed she made on her last
westward trip. but about the honesty of
which there Is sufficient reasonable doubt
10 fairly invalidate it. The City of New
York was 50 tar behind that. as these
ocean-steamship races go nowadays. she
could scarcely be considered to be in il
at all.
So the City of Paris still stands unsur-
passed, with her sister ship. the City of
New York, worthy companion. and the
Teutonic and the Majestic. rivals that are
not 10 be deSpiSed. The achievement of
the Majestic on her fastest eastern trip.
which ended at Queenstown Tuesday.
put her only twenty-sIX minutes behind
the record of the City of Paris for the trip
IN the same direction.
There can be no doubt that these four
steamships, so far as speed. safety and
general appointment Is concerned. admit
rably represent the highest attachments
of modern marine architecture. They are
so nearly matched that their repeated eff
forts 10 establish individual superiority
seem to be as uncalled for as they are
hazardous.
We are afraid that. despite the verv
grave dangers attending them. these
ocean races are likely 10 continue. Moth
ing short of a great disaster that shall
appall two continents and excite a strong
public opinion against he present prac-
tice viii be likely to bring about a change.
Ii is 10 be hoped, however, that such a
dire contingency may be long avoided.

The Republican party cannot afford
10 take the course the EAGLE is following
while the platform of IS remains on
record. Should il do so, il can never again
point with pride to a consistent and
honorable course.-Newton Republican.
There you go off at a tangent again.
The platform of 1883 declared emphatic
ally and unequivocally for tariff reform;
the present congress has devoted most of
the session to that work. and the EAGLE
has been earnestly voicing the sentiment
of the people of the great west in urging
such action. The trouble with the Re
publican seems TO be that il cannot dis
sociate tariff reform from free trade.
The tendency is in that direction. but it
Is good way off in this countrv-so far
that it will not be reached within the
lifetime of the Republican and others
who are in mortal dread of such a catas-
trOphc.

FORT SCOTT SUGAR WORKS.

From the Fort Scott News.
The men in charge of the Fort Scott
Sugar works, report that the cane aver
ages better this year than ever before,
and the late cane has a larger percentage
of sugar than any cane ever raised in the
county. Some of the early planted cane
was not so good, however, and was diff
Gu 1t to work up. The quality of sugar
made is excellent and of a light, rich
color. 1t is thought that the net profits
of the factory this year will be greater
than ever before. as everything Is con-
structed in an economical and systematic
manner, and the company are protiting
by past experience.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

With house of representatives made
up of 355 members, the next electoral
college would number 443. Here Is the
way it is figured:
Each state is entitled to as many cleo
tors as it has senators and representa-
tives in congress. There are now forty
four states, which gives lightweight
electors to correspond with the senators.
Add the $50 for representatives, and you
have 443. At present the membership
of the electoral college is 401. Under
the Dunnell bill the states would be en-
titled to presidential electors as follows:
