Mr.. Mason calling Mr. Walker blank
liar and making for him to attack him
This was finally quieted, and MIR.
Mason apologized to his friend, Mr..
Walker.
Unfortunately the trouble did
not end with this. Mr.. Cannon, goad-
ed to madness by the attacks made
upon his resolution, m aae use of some
language which he must have deeply
regretted as soon rs he had time to
think. This caused Mr.. Mason to
reply in kind, and this quarrel caused
another, between Representative Will
son of Washington and Beckwith OF
New Jersey. which actually led to
blows before the combatants could
be separated. Truly the whole busi-
ness is shameful, although the dem
ocrats acted as though they thought
it great sport, laughing and yelling
worse than q lot of hoodlums at
dog fight.

The Democrats of Arkansas in the
political campaign. which eulminate'
to day in the election, behaved pretty
well till yesterday. Bnt they could
not allow the canvass to actually
close without one of their accustomed
performances. They varied the Diet
ails somewhat. They evidently were
of the opinion that they could carry
the election the easiest and with the
least offensive violence by surprising
the vote rather than the voters. So
q mob of them gathered in a little
village, pres umably in 3 strong Rep
ublican county, and boarded the train
which brought in the Union Labor
and the prominent Republican who
had charge of the tickets. They beat
the latter and stole the tickets. but
allowed the former to get dinner in
town and 60 back to Little Rock un-
harmed.
Thus Democratic victory was SEEM
ingly insured by pounding up only
one Republican before the election,
instead of beating large number at
the polls. This was certainly consid-
crate. 1t showed much advancement
in civilization and humanity on the
part of the Arkansas Democrats. It
furnishes ground for the hope, indeed,
that they will some day, through the
exercise of hum ane ingenuity, devise
a way of carrying elections without
hurting anybody.
This Arkansas demons tration, CON-
ing as itdoes, just after the postpone
ment ofthe Lodge bill, has peculiar
significance and will doubtless have
peculiar effect. 1t indicates that no
considerations of policy can restrain
the Southern Democrats from carry
ing the elections of their sections any
how, to whatever il may be necessary
to resort to effect that end. 1t sug-
ge>ts that nothing can stand against
their propensit for fraud and violence
in political contests. 1t shows that
there is little use in putting them On
their good behavior
If the Arkansas example is followed
in many instances in the coming ell
ections in the South, the Lodge elect
ion bill will pass next winter just as
sure as congress reassembles. twill
likely also be made stronger and more
thorough. And there will be a public
sentiment back of 1t that will insure
its relentless enforcement Denver

Republicans have excellent grounds
for asking the people of the country
to continue them in CONTROL of the
Honse of Representatives. See the
n goTj;at Measures which the House
has passed at this session the tariff
bill the silver bill, the Federal elect
ion bill the National bankruptcy bill
the bill relieving the Supreme Court
the bills admitting four new states, the
original package bill, the meat inspec-
ton bill the Agricultural relief bill,
the bill, against adulterated food, the
anti trust bill, the public land bill and
hundreds of minor bills. As soon as
the republicans obtained control of
the house and the prosperity of the
county begins to increase, and so it
will continue to do as long as they
retain that control. These are facts
that should not be forgotten.

Seed Wheat For Farmers.
STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
TOPEKA KAN. Aug 16. 1890.

STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
Topeka KAN, Aug 16. 1890.
\ number of letters have been received
at this office. mostly from west central
Kansas. on the Union Pacific Railroad,
also from north west counties. repre-
senting that a large number of farmers
in those sections must be provided with
seed wheat or they will be obliged to
abandon their farms. They are of that
class of farmers, of whom there are
many, who because of pressing obliga-
tiOns, were forced to sell their corn
last winter from 10 to 14cents per bushei.
Having lost their crop, this year and
many of them their wheat crops while
others but little wheat, they are reduced
to such an extremity as to make them
the object. not of charity, but of the SER
ious and generous consideration of those
who are interested in the future devel-
opment of that country The condition
of these men are no fault of their own
they being honest faithful and indus
trious, but they are the victims of sue
cession of crop failures, the like of which
has not been known before, and NAV
never occur again.
Their condition is further aggravated
by being forced to sell the product of
their labor when they did have a crop.
below the cost of production.
Under the circumstances il if evidently
plain case that all parties who are in
terested in the final outcome of that coun-
try are interested in retaining those men
on their farms, and will find it wise and
profitable thing to assist these farmers in
securing seed wheat this fall in order
they may have prospect ahead for next
year, and an inducement to cling to their
homes. They hope, and not without
reason. that the tide may soon turn, and
an era of prosperity set in.
Since the receipt of the first letter con-
corning this matter, some ten days, the
Secretary of the Board has been active in
efforts to determine some definite plan
which might be recommended with rea-
sonable assurance of success. Bankers,
loan agents, railroad officials and Others
were consulted. and the following con-
clusions were finally reached:
First-The plan adopted in Harper
county, Kas., three years ago, to secure
seed wheat for the farmers at that time,
commends itself as the most feasible yet
presented. OF this plan Mr.. L. A. Oar
rough, president of the First National
Bank of Anthony. Kans.. says:
Our people formed a company and
incorporated it-elected officers. There
were nifty members, and each gave his
note for sle0. payable to the treasurer in
one year at ~ per cent. Then the treas !
nrer and secretary gave their notes to the |
bank for the amount OF money needed TO |
buy wheat with. The banks furnished |
the money to the company to buy the !!

''Killing Kansas"

Yes, prohibition is killing Kansas.
The increase of wealth per capita per
last reports is only 43 per cent. Mass
achusetts' increases is only 5 per ct.
Ohio and Illinois have decreased in
wealth by 81 per cent. The distillery
business and prohibition are each
having its influence and here they
are.
Down in Kansa they have one
school house for every 1876 population.
Ohio has only one for every 800; Illi-
nois, the state of distilleries one for
every 400; while poor pious old Mass
achusetts one for every 600 population
Yes prohibition is building school
houses all over Kansas, killing the
state by educating their children in
stead of clothing them in rags through
the saloon process.
Down IN Kansas they have q pen.
iten6ary which used to manafactacturc
large amounts Of goods. The eonvicts
are falling off until they have only
five for every 10000 population, M
inois eleven and Massachusetts,
twenty for every 10000 population.
Yes, Prohibition is killing Kansas
and Nebraska wants to be killed bv
the same process. II it is prohibition
that has done all these things(and it
is) then give us lots prohibition
Lincoln (Neb.) Call.
The Call might have added that
since 1880 Kansas has increased in
population far more than any other
state of similar size; in fact, than any
state except New York, Pennsylvania

The democrats have adopted a new
method of filibustering in the house.
When they are brought in to answer
to a call for quorum they answer
to their name and Immediately snea k
out again so that when the roll is
called for a vote the House is
again without a quroum.
Opposition to the compound
lard bill is what has brought out
this trick and there are a few rep
ublicans who have joineh hand with
the democrats in order to prevent a
vote being taken on the bill, its pass
age being certain if vote be taken.
Representative Cannon becoming
tired of this sort of thing offered a
resolution reciting the circumstances
and mentioning the names of forty
four members, nearly all Democrats
as being guilty, and providing for
the immediate revocation of all leaves
of absence except in cases of sickness,
and notifying the Sergeant at Arms
to telegraph the ahsentees to return
at once.
This resolution at once threw the
House into the widest disorder; thirty
or forty members were on their feet
yelling at the top Of their voices, all
at once. Representative Mason of Him
ois and Walker of Massachusetts,, both
good republicans, are on opposit sides
OF this lard question, AMI owing to a
remark jokingly made by the latter
there was almost a personal encounter

II will not be surprising if the
President calls an extra session of con-
gress to meet Immediately after the
November elections. Such a course
is considered necessary by great
many republican senators and
members, who foresee the trouble
there will be in passing the Elections

reguluar appropriation bill, at the
short session, and who recognize the
value of the three weeks which an ex-
ira session might make use Of before

The Senate will begin voting on
the tariff bill and the amendments
on Sept. 8. 1t will probably be sew
eral days later before the bill is finally
disposed of. The debate on this bill
has already been longer than that on
any similar measure in the history of
the Senate. 1t is expected that ad-
journment will take place during the
first week in October.

The Prosperity. Of Kansas.

Under the above heading the Bank.
ers' Monthly says:
There seems to be disposition to
speak depreciatingly of Kansas. 1t
is jealousy, only, if the following can
be relied upon. It is said that Kan
sas has more miles of railroad than
all the New. England states put To-
gether. She has 1859 more miles
than the Empire state of New York,
whose population and wealth surpass
Kansas four to one. She has more
than the great state of Pennsylvania,
Iowa or Texas. Kansas today has
1854 miles of railroads. Illinois alone
surpasses her, with 5000 miles. Next
comes Iowa with 1868 miles. Foil
owing her is Pennsylvania with s, ,21O
miles. Only think of it! During the
three years from 1886 to 1888. inclu-
siye Kansas constructed 4 ,535 miles
of railroads, which is more than any
of the twenty seven of hepsisSer state
have in operation today; and there are
only thirteen states in the union who
have greater mileage of railroads
than Kansas built in these three
Years.
Every line of the above is true. Kan
sas needs no better advertisement
among eastern readers. The above
refutes the vicious falsehoods of the
real enemies of Kansas those who
declare that the prosperity of a state
depends upon the existence of the
saloon.
Poor drouthy prohibition Kansas,
has increased her population IS per
cent. While poor old rum.ridden,
saloon cursed, whiskey soaked Miss
