THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.
Ha11owell in stanton County.

HalIowell in Stanton County.
From the johnson City Journal.
Kansas has many fine public speakers
and orators. but none are more brilliant
than Hon. J. r. HallOwell. For two
hours and ten minutes he held the atten-
ton of the audience. His speech was
upon the live issues of the day, and he
showed conclusively that he was fully
able TO grasp and handle the pension
question, that of the tariff, silver, ma
tional banks, currency and irrigation
with g ase to himself and with satlstac-
ton to bis audience. as was demonstrate
ed by repeated applause. His speech
was logical and his argument easy to fol
low. The Farmers Alliance or People 5
party received a severe blow and one
that ought to put to shame Republicans
who have been leaders in the OrganlZa-
ton as a political factor. The Alliance,
he said. was organized for a good and
commendable purpose, but was being
used by the Democratic party to mlslead
the people. and especially weak Republl-
cans. A history of its leaders was suf-
flcient to warn any fair minded person
of its evils. Democrats as well as Re
publicans were well pleased with the adj
dress, and the colonel made many warm
friends bv his plain and unvarnished
manner of dealing with his discourse.
At the close three rOuslng cheers were
given for Col j. r. HallOwell, our next
member of congress from the Big
Seventh.

MORMON DUPLICITY.

The Normons are indeed a peculiar
people They profess a willingness to
obey the laws Of the land that make
their practices a crime, yet glory in the
penalties the law imposes for It's infrac-
ton. This was clearly demonstrated at
their conference in Salt Lake City Mon
day night when George Q. Cannon de-
clared that he believed the brethren in
the penitentiary would be more pros
porous when they got out than if they
had not got in, because they could say
they had not broken any covenants they
had made He thanked God he lived
among such people, those who were not
afraid of the consequences and took their
punishment like heroes. The time was
coming when this conduct Of the Latter
Day Saints would stand out as the
brightest page in modern history. Their
sutferings would be acceptable to the
Lord. Cannon further said the saints
would obey the laws and bow in sub
mission to the nations Will, and leave
the consequences with the Lord. He
told the people not to worry about 1891;
that Christ would not come then.

are mining silver, but will some free coin
age advocate tell US of what benefit it is 10
the people of the west in general: We do
not ask the question Dramatically, but If
it is a real benefit we want TO know IL. 50
far it does not seem TO be.-Lawrence
journal.
The Journal is in error in stating that
there is but little difference between free
coinage and the silver bill that passed
congress and is now the law on that sub
iect. According to our understanding
of the two measures there is a very
marked difference. But granting that
the Journal is correct, it could hardly
have been anticipated that gamblers and
Spectators could so completely nullify
the beneficial effects intended to be
wrought, by the bill enacted,
upon the country as seems TO
have been done. That such a
thing was possible is sad
reflection upon the condition that con-
front and surround our politico-economic
system. just as it is in connection with
the legislation had upon the tariff ques-
ton. 1t is a misfortune to the cOnsum-
ers of the country that the manufa tur-
ers, importers and jobbers should abuse
the opportunity that the interval between
the enactment Of the new law and the
date on which it became Operative-which
opportunity could not be avoided-and
impose upon the defenseless public as
they have: but such condition and &C.
currence are not the fault of any one
charged with the responsibility of bring
ing about the change, 50 far as we can
discern. Was the journal opposed to
any legislation on the silver question, as
its criticism seems to imply: If so. it
ought to have said 50 and stated its
objections before the law was enacted
when such objections might have availed
something. However, discussion of the
subject is not out of order, as 1t IS evil
dent. now. that further action by con-
gress will be demanded by the public in
the near future.

and WHY.

The Resubmission Republicans Of Sedg-
wick county owe it themselves to stand
by the Republican ticket to man.
Having nominated the ticket themselves,
and having made the platform, them
selves. it would be exceedingly unfair
and impolitic to repudiate their own
choice and their own work and thereby
sacrifice the men who in all good faith
accepted their nomination and who in
all good faith agreed to stand by their
Resubmission platform. 1t is a matter
of common honesty wholly, not only of
political honesty, but Of personal, indi-
yidual honesty.

EXTENDING OUR TRADE.

The New York correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun writes that 1.-THE steamer
Karlsruhe is loading for a voyage to
Australia, to sail on October :. She
clears from New York for Adelaide, Mel
bourne and Sidney, and expects t. make
the run of II 600 miles in forty days.
For this she will carry 1900 tons Of coal,
$500 tons of cargo made up as follows:
Twenty thousand cases refined petro-
leum, $500 barrels granulated sugar.
made in Brooklyn; 1000 packages Nir-
ginia manufactured tobacco, POO 900 feet
white pine lumber, 5000 stoves, and
large lines of such manufactured goods
as shovels, axes, tools, bolts, hardware,
carriageware. woodward. lampware, tur-
pentine, tar, handles, paper, books, agri-
cultural goods Of all descriptions, CARR
ages, shoe pegs, oysters, Holsters, lin cans
and cases., and many other lines. Her
charter is another advance on the Old
lines of sailing freights, and her success
will be anxiOusly watched by those in
terested in the constantly-growing trade
with the colonies. 1t will be one OF the
longest voyages on record for a steamer
without calling at some intermediate
port for coal"

The great Brooklyn divine, Talmage,
never uttered a truer sentence than
when he said, IN his last Sundays SER

and personal rights are betterrespected.'
How fortunate it is for the jewellers in
this goodly land that Christian senti-

would render this land of peace and per

The absolute idiocy and bull-headedness
of labor organization management was
never better illustrated than by the pres
ent situation in Pittsburg. Central Labor
union men were engaged in painting a
store. The boss painter hired knight
of Labor painter and all the Central
Labor union men struck until he was re-
moved. Then the clerks in the store,
who are all knights, struck to have him
replaced again. At last accounts the
store was shut up and 10 painting was
being done both strikes being in full
swing. This is worse than the situation
on the New York Central railroad, where
the other labor organizations demanded
that the company choose between them
and the Knights of Labor, as they would
stop work unless the knights were dis
missed. Such conditions are but the
legitimate sequence of the proscriptlve
policy wherever and by whomsoever
adopted.

Ex-Governor Robinson devotes about

little awkward for Republican papers

That Governor Robinson is smart
enough to catch the popular drift of SEN
timent on this question is a credit to his
political acumen: but because he chooses
to adopt the Republican idea and posi-
ton on this or any other question
is 10 reason why Republicans
should abandon them. We appre-
bend that the awkwardness of
situation will be thoroughly appreciated
by those who hold back and from mis-
conception of the true situation persist
in trying to stem the tide of popular de
mands after their fine spun theories have
been wrecked and they left without
foundation or support.
