The Last Sad Rites.

The funeral OF Fred Dlffenbacher
was attended by a large number of
people. On account of the non-arrival
of Mrs. Will Brands, sister of the
deceased, services were not held until
two O'Clock, p. M, Friday. Rev. Thos.
II. Ayars delivered an impressive fu-
neral sermon, and was followed by Chas
V. Brinkman in a touching tribute to
the memory of his school and college
mate. The high school alumni, MEM
bers of the A. D. U. W., and the bar
association accompanied the remains to
the church in body. Many elegant
floral tributes covered the casket of the
dead in mute witness to the high
esteem in which the loved one is held.
The vast number of people in attend
ance at:the funeral were impressive wit
nesses of the sympathy of this COM
munity for the bereaved family.

REPUBLICAN papers are charging the
alliance or peoples state convention
held in Topeka last week with ''cow-
ardice" in not taking stand on the
prohibition question in their state plat
form. They recognize the fact that the
alliance candidates for state offices
are mostly kno,on p1oti6itionists, and
knowing this they fear that too many
prohibition republicans will follow
these standard bearers; therefore it
behooves the republican strikers to try
and make out that the alliance conven-
tion lodged the question, even though
they put none but prohibitionists on
guard" If that convention was cow
ardly' or inconsistent" what can be
said of the Dodge City convention
which endorsed prohibition and nomi-
mated the silk-stocking, political parti-
zan, resubmissiOn Col. Jim. If it was
''lnconsistent and cowardly" to nomi-
nate men in favor of prohibition plank
in their platform, what is it to declare
for free silver'' and in the next breath
unreservedly congratulate the Harrison
administration which killed the free
silver biM2
Wanted? To know what the politics
of Che Barton County DEMOCRAT is. 1t
appears to be anything to down the
republican party, but whether ''peO-
ple's" or ''demOcrat'' should be it's
cognomen, whether to be or not to be-
that is the question Register.
As THE time slips by, and our corpu-
lent neighbor sees that with all his Chi
canery he is unable to stop the tide of
republican farmers that flowing into
uthe alliance or peoples movement; as
he sees how powerless he is to steer the
members of that order into republican
ranks again, he becomes politically
despetic and sick eat the stomach, and
his mind is sorely troubled as to what
the democrats are going to do in the
premises. Knowing that trickery and
jobbery are the stock in trade of his
own ilk in political matters it is natu-
raj that he should look for two-faced
and unstable action by other political
parties. His case is not serious-only
mild attack Of political jOndes and,
we do not feel called upon to admins
ter heroic treatment. However, if he
needs relief immediately, we advise
him to swallow few of the anti-tariff
pills prepared recently by Senator
Plumb, OF submit to an injection from
Blaine's reciprocity syringe. Our read
ers already know that he was
'troubled" with ''fits'' at the time of
the Hoisington convention to select
delegates to the state and congress
sional peoples conventions. He may
| have had another visitation of the same
kind that has so unsettled his system
that he cannot understand that dem
ocracy means a government ''of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
ple." Keep on your under garment,
Caraway. The DEMOCRAT is perfectly
able 10 define its own position at any
and all times. Read it, once, and learn
that it is neither hide bound nor party
blind, but is for the good of the people
of Kansas first, last and all the time.

THE DEMOCRAT has no criticism to
make of the state ticket of the peoples
party, this week. We will wait until
we find out what kind of men compose
that ticket, and then tell our readers
what we have learned. 1t will be in
order, though, for the Register to tell
its readers all the wonderful defects OF
the peoples candidate, and at the
same time geiterate that he is q
rip-roaging sfriend of the farmer ,
We would suggest also, that it is about
time for Caraway to again tell his read
