TO HON. =. n. PETERS.

Now that the convention is passed and
a successor has been named to the Hon.
5. r. Peters, we wish to speak of the
latter as a man and representative. The
love of the people Of the Seventh con-
gressional district will follow him like
the fragrant perfumes of the choicest
flowers are condensed by the evenings
dews; and should his aspirations in the
future ever need their assistance, through
their memory of the past they will be
but too happy to serve him, as he has
we'll served them, and in true American
loyalty will rally round his banner. Few
men return from the arena of public life
with brighter luster rejecting their no.
bleness of character, or with a more pro-
found love of their constituency than
Hon. S. r. Peters. This is one of the
richest blessings that could fall to any
man. May happiness and prosperity at
tend his every footstep. and that creates:

IN COOKS BEHALF.

Senator H. B. Kelley, of Mcpherson,
was in the city last night en- route to
Paris, Texas. His mission there is to con-
suit with Charlie Cook preparatory to
taking steps towards securing for him a
new trial. Mr.. Cook, it will be remem-
bered, is one of the six men sentenced to
be hanged on the 10th of next December
for the murder of Sheriff Cross in No.
Mans Land few years ago. Mr.. Kel-
ley's interest in the matter has been
prompted by an abiding faith in Mr..
Cooks innocence.
1t illustrates to remarkable extent the
of the mau, for Mr.. Cook was
his political opponent in his race for the
state senatorship. Cook was also strong
for the democratic congress
sional nomination at Larned four years
ago and was beaten only BY few votes,
by Tom George. of Sumner county. The
moose shall never tighten around his neck.

THEY WITHDRAW.

The following is copy OF paper ad-
dressed to the president of the Garfield
alliance. published in the Minneapolis.
(Kansas.) Messenger. July 9th:
SIR: We entered the alliance with the un-
Outstanding that it was to be an organization
of farmers and composed of all political
parties, non partisan organization, for the
purpose of self protection, and for influence
ing legislation. thereby obtaining laws more
favorable to the farmers and labOrers.
We believe that reasonable demands made
by the great organization composed of all
shades of politics would at once be COM
piled with. II the farmers have not been
favorably considered in legislation, it is GER
tainly because they have not united in max
ing their wants known.
We do not believe it is necessary to form a
new political party to remedy any evil which
may be complained of.
We believe that the low price of grain has
been brought about by a combination OF cir
cumstances running through series of years
thereby forcing down the grain market OF
the woodland over which the United States
government had no control whatever.
Therefore new party could not raise the
price of grain by legislation in any, except
by an imitation of the currency, which would
benefit the farmer because he sells more
than he buys.
We believe it desirable to have a larger per
capita circulation, but we believe that it
might be more readily brought about by the
combined action of the alliance than by &C.
ton of any new political party; hence we do
not believe that a remedy lies in new party.
There is no great issue on which to found Il
new party.
The question of free trade or protective
tariff is the only issue dividing the old par.
ties.
We recognize the fact that any officer
elected on platform of the new party would
necessarily be compelled to vote with one Of
the old parties on all tariff questions. and
that the new party is sought to be built on a
new platform on which no republican can
stand, it is in direct opposition to policy
which we believe to be for the permanent
best interest of American farmers and the
people in general.
We have voted the republican ticket be-
cause the republican party embodies all the
principles and the policy which we believe to
be for the best interests of the American
people, and of ourselves as farmers.
The leaders of the alliance have decided to
use the organization to further the fortunes
of party to which we cannot belong. There
fore, Mr.. President, we respectfully request
that you cause the secretary to remove our
names from the roll of membership.
Signed, by H. kinsey and sixteen others.

Western Farm Mortgages.


No part of the results of the late census
will be of more general interest than the
statistics which have been gathered re-
garding farm mortgages. These statis-
tics will be especially valuable to the
West. and to investors making western
lOans.' Some eastern papers have of late
printed narrowing tales regarding the
condition of the western farmer, partic-
ularly IN Kansas and Nebraska. and have
related how mortgages were about the
only crop that grew every year without
failure. Much of this talk has been SIM
ply buncOmbe manufactured for special
purposes, the writer's themselves proba-
bly, not believing the statements, but
there have been some honest writer's who
have been drawing pictures of the dis
tressing condition of the western farmer
around what they believed was an out
line of facts.
1t is too early yet. to know just what
the census returns will show. but there
is no doubt whatever but they will show
that great deal of sympathy has been
wasted on the western farmer. The far
mers of Kansas and Nebraska are very
long way indeed from being hampered
and weighted down by first and second
mortgages after the manner of these lu-
gubrious writers have reported. There
is excellent authority for the statement
that farm mortgages have in the last year
decreased. instead of growing larger. 1t
was year of abundant crops, and the
result is seen in the long list of Cancelled
mortgages at the recorders offices. The
census returns are likely in the first place
to show that the total Indebtedness has
been nothing like what the loose esti-
mates of some financial writer's have
placed it at. The returns will not show
any comparative statements, unfortunate
ly, so it cannot be positively told just
how great the increase or decrease the
last few years has been. There have,
however, been compilations showing the
actual figures from official sources in
many districts. While such statistics
are not complete, they show the present
current is certainly in the direction of a
reduction Of mortgage debts. The regis
ter of deeds of Cloud county, Kansas. is
reported as saying that there are five
mortgages being paid off to every three
that are put on. In Rice county, Kan
sas. the number of releases are reported
far ia excess of the number of new mort
cages. The register of Butler county
announces that the releases of farm
mortgages for the first six months of the
year will exceed by Sl75,OOO the new
mortgages filed. The records of I.abette
county show that the mortgage indebted
ness Of the county has been growing less
this year, the ratio given for by the re-
corder for June being liz releases against
only AZ new mortgages recorded. Elk
county reports the proportion Of releases
to new mortgages as nearly three to one.
One may in this way go all about the
state and find everywhere evidence of in
telligent prosperity. which is rapidly
wiping out the debt of the new section of
the country to the old. Western farmers
are rather in position to be envied by
the eastern farmer instead of being pitied
by the eastern capitalists.

Anxi0us About His Money.

Some foreigners who open bank ac-
counts probably give bank clerks more
trouble than any other class OF deposit
ors. They have an idea that their money
is filed away in a ~pigeon-hole for them
and is kept there until they want 1t
They often drop in and ask the receiving
tellers if their funds are all right, to be
on the safe side. One of the big national
banks has a large line Of Chinese deposits
on hand, and some of the celestlals anx-
iously watch their deposits grow until
they accumulate sufficient funds to en-
able them to return to China and pass
the remainder of their days in atflucnce.
A certain Chicago Chinaman has quite a
deposit at the bank in question and he
knows the receiving teller so well that
he ventures to call him by his first name.
About twice a month the Chinaman calls
on his friend and says: ''Iialloo, Challle

replies that it is intact. ''Can | see ltE'

period. Forward there was a small
platform on which were smaller pieces,
falcons and shakers, for the discharge
f grape-shot and small stones. There
,ere four masts, two of which were
rugged with square sails and two with
sails shaped like a swallows wing.
These are still used in the Mediterranean
and bear the name of lateen sails, from
the belief that they are similar to those
used by the ancient Latin peoples. It
will be seen that the navigators Of that
period had partly seized the true idea of
how to utilize the winds from almost
every point of the compass save those
from its very eye, which is done now by
square sails aided by stay sails, and the
latter are the old lateen sails so modified
as to offer no obstruction to the other

Obviously the galleys Of the French,

were clean decks. as in the days when
