Ike refusal of the house on Tues
day to take up the consideration of the
"original package" bill is not to be
construed as indicating that there will
be no legislation on that subject this
session. 1t is probable that there are
not a dozen members who do not be-
lieve that some means ought to be
adopted to remedy the difficulties
growing out of the supreme court sa-
loon decision. InaSmuch as the SUBJ
stitute reported by majority of the
judiciary committee affects all imports
as we'll as Intoxicating liquors, it re-
quires careful consideration. This
congress will pass bill which will send
every original package house back to
Missouri and may cOnsign their

The Peoples Party Snare.

The more the republican farmers of
this county see of the political man.
euvering of the peoples party poll
ticians the more they become satisfied
that the movement is for the sole pur-
pose of building up a few old broken
down political hacks who have been
trying to get into Office for the past ten
or twenty years. In order that they
might delude the republican into voting
the third party ticket whether or no
and irrespective of the character, worth
or qualifications of their candidates,
they have in a number of instances
circulate paper asking the republican
farmers to sign a statement pledging
themselves to vote the alliance ticket.
And in order to fortify themselves
against the elevation of any republican
to Office in their party they have at
their various county alliances and coun-
tY conventions adopted resolutions de-
nouncing every principle of the repub-
lican party and they have declared OPP
position to every republican national
congressional, state, county and dis
trict official. No democratic or union
labor official has ever received a denun-
citation at the hands of this peoples
party.
Out OF the seventy delegates which
met in Topeka a few weeks since and
adopted such stirring resolutions
against the powers that be only six of
them are known republicans. Think
OF it. In state which gave Harrison
$1,000 majority for president in an as
sembly of seventy men claiming to
represent the farmers of the state only
six republicans can be found. Yet the
democrats and union labor frauds
would make the republican farmers
believe that the peoples party is not
more of an enemy to the republican
party than to others.
The fact is that the alliance, so far
as it is being used to place third party

and the third party ticket will be die
tated and selected by the democratic
and union labor politicians in the order.
The republicans will have no more to
say in selecting the candidates than had
the six republicans in the Topeka con-
vention.
The democratic editors are so well
pleased with the manner in which their
party is manipulating the alliance that
they have nothing whatever to say
about their own party nominations,
and already their leaders have decided
to place no democratic ticket in the
field this fall, but to work. with the
peoples party in trying to defeat the
republican nominees.

peoples party. 1t is delusion and

1t is reported that if the Mckinley

The so-called resubmission republic
cans have called their state convention
to meet in Wichita on Sept. 9th, which
is the same day that the democrats
have called their state convention for
the same place. The purpose, of course,
is to fuse, if possible. These few sa-
loon republicans are ready to fuse with
the devil, if thereby they can have free
whiskey. That it is free whiskey they
desire is evidenced by the extreme sat
isfaction with which they receive the
original package saloons. No resub-
missionist has entered protest against
these Missouri outlaws who are irving
to corrupt the morals of our people.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
Saturdays Convention Shows the
Drift of the Movement.

| Drift of the Movement.
| About twenty-three democrats. four
teen union labor politicians and eight
| republicans constituted the people,
party convention held in Smiths hall
Saturday afternoon. 1t was motley
crowd in which republicans seemed
very much out of place. Of course it
was just an accident ~ that four-fifths
| of all the delegates to this convention
should be anti-republican. 1t was
the purpose to send only sufficient
| number of democrats and union labor
men to control the convention, but for
want of proper understanding at the
| several primaries anti republican
delegates were sent in from all quarters
and the few republican delegates pres
ent found themselves in a very picay-
unish minority.
Last week the REFLECTOR stated
that this peoples party convention
would witness the greatest scramble
for Office ever seen in the county. The
proceedings of Saturday verified the
prophecy. Each primary throughout the
county sent in separate list of candi
dates for the several offices to be filled
and the consequence was that there
were more than a half-dozen different
candidates for each Office. In fact
there were so many candidates for the
various offices that the convention de-
termined to go to work and Gull out
the list and from the numerous names
for each office, select three names to be
returned to the primary meetings from
which to select the nominee for the
party This they proceeded to do, and
the consequence is that this convention
has determined in each case that the
several primary meetings throughout
the county shall select one of the three
names returned to them for the party's
candidate.
A few of the primaries must have
been in the hands of republicans as w.
S. Anderson received a number of
votes for district clerk and Judge
Peck for probate judge. But this
democratic-union labor-peoples' par
ty caucus couldn't permit these
votes to stand unless these two gentle
men would come before the caucus
and renounce their republicanism. A |
committee was appointed and these
two republican gentlemen brought up
standing. They were asked if they pro-
posed to allow their names to go before
the republican convention. Mr.. An
derson, with that true and fearless pat
riotism which induced him to offer his
life on his courtry's altar twenty-seven
years ago, holding up that right arm,
the use of which he lost in defense of
his country, replied that for twenty-six
years he had voted the republican tick
ct: that during that time he had never
known that party to desert the cause
of the people; that the republican party
had ever been a true friend of the la
boring man, and if the party should
ever go down, he proposed to go down
with it, bearing aloft that grand old
dag which had led to so many trium-
phant victories for God and humanity, !

Afraid of Honest Elections.

The democrats never have been SO
ratified" as they now are about legis-
lation in violation of the constitution
since the days when congress began to
vote men and money to put down the
rebellion, or as they expressed it,,
''coerce the SOUTH" The reason for
their present trepidatiOn is, of course,
the stand at last taken by the majority
of congress to uphold the integrity of
the ballot and thus make vote in re-
ality vote and elections not farce in
one section of the country. The dem
Ocrats have been fairly bowling about
infringement of the rights of the
states and similar phrases which some
how or other, always have a familiar
twaDg, forgetting that the rights of
the people" which congress proposes to
assert, are superior to the artificial
structure of government which in the
south, at least, has been to a majority
of citizens nothing but an unmeaning
sound.
The republican leaders in congress,
backed up by majority in each branch,
and assured by the president, are de-
termined that both comedy and tragedy
as dramatic effects in national elections
shall cease, and if the southern demo-
Gratis want to evade the pains and pen
alties of the statute it can be easily
done by fully obeying the law.

trouble is, it cannot be obtained when

Figs do their work thoroughly, and

mild laxative and purgative should be.
Besides this, they are so pleasant to
take that children even eat them as
eagerly as candy. They are SO safe
