Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-07-14

MEMBERS of the F. M. B. A., and
others. to the number Of two thousand,
celebrated the 18th on Deer creek, two
miles east of Colony. The ententaln-
ment was varied. There was music, vo-
cal and Instrumental, speaking and de-
claiming. The ground was well chosen
and the weather delightful. Mr.. Ran
dali, of near Colony, was master of GER
emOnies. Mr.. Ramsey, Of Welda, read
the Declaration of Independence. Mr..
Sheldon, of Paola, delivered the Grafton.
"America" and cred, White and Blue"
were well rendered by local choir. The
Knights of Pytbias band, of Garnett,
was present and furnished excellent
music. The Grafton was neither lengthy
or striking. The speaker had been a
farmer boy and had gone barefooted.
He wears shoes now, and the farmers
boys still 60 barefooted. Why is it that
the least useful classes fare sumptuously,
while the classes who make life desira-
bic often 60 with the barest necessaries?
Mr. Sheldon admitted that farmers were
having hard time, but seemed to think
that it was all right; at least he shed no
tears. The speech was not in the inter-
ests of the farmers movement. A por-
ton of the day was spent in responses
TO tOasts The toast. Farmers" was
responded to by Mr. Randall; "Finance"
by Mr.. Carter; advantage of Organi-
zatioi." by DR.. Metca]f. The people
present seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely. Frequent bursts of laughter
were heard, but no profanity. There
was no rowdyism, no drinking of intox-
icants, but refinement and intelligence
was written upon the families consti-
tuting the many groups at dinner, as
clearly, we dare say, as upon any as
sembly of people IN Kansas, and yet
most of the people present belong to
the agricultural class.

CAN the honest farmer or labOrer con-
tradict his honest convictions by stand
ing in and voting with party whose
leaders are continually telling them that
the production is too great for the de-
mand? Is there farmer that can hon
estly believe these assertions in the face
of the fact that to-day, in Dakota, there
are twenty counties, and as many in our
own state of Kansas, that Gods chill
dren, and even animals, are suffering
from hunger? This, too, in country
where tina man who misrepresents the
people, says the great Union Pacific
saves millions from starvation. Go back
east and there you will hear the horrible
blood-curdling statement that in the
beautiful valley of the Wyoming, labor
is robbed, and women and children are
forced to sustain life by gathering from
garbage heaps the refuse OF provision
stores and slaughter houses. From the
west and from the east comes the
cry of suffering from hunger, and yet
We are told there is an over-supply.

address all communications, etc., TO
The ofce at Greeley.

IT must not be forgotten that the dan
gers that threaten the peoples move
ment are numerous There are dangers
from within and dangers from without.
The leaders i'm the new movement are
not much acquainted with practical pol
itics, and will if not CAREFUL make blum
ders that the enemy will be sure to take
advantage of. There will be plenty of
spies and false friends in the new camp,
each of whom will, by misrepresenta-
ton to the outside, and by raising OBJ
lection within, weaken the movement
There is the bringing together of men
who have been in hostile camps, and
who have mingled in the thickest OF the
fray. There is the selection of candi-
dates. and there is that frOthy element
that while it means well, yet by injudic-
iously Incorporate speeches give offense
and needlrssly drive away valuable
allies. All this, and more, will have to
he overcome AS sources of weakness.
Leaders should be patient, thoughtful,
moderate and discreet; and none but
those who can be fully trusted should be
placed on guard, or entrusted with state
secrets. False friends will have to be
ferretted out, and drummed out Of
camp. The underlying principle gov
erning the labor organizations, viz,
unity in essentials, charity in non-essen-
tials, must be carefully taught, and EN-
phasized. The past of each candidate
must pass rigid scrutiny. We cannot
afford to load the best of platforms with
bad men. And finally, let every friend
of the Peoples movement remember
that the movement is not fully develop
ed; that there are hundreds of good and
true men who have not yet cast the old
partisan snake skin, but are getting
ready to, and if not angered into resist
ance, will, because of self-interest, es-
pouse the good cause. And finally, let
lis always remember that ours is move
ment of the people. by the people, for
the people; the whole people.

The bill to re-loan $l20,000, 900 To
the Pacific railroads has been reported
favorably by both Senate and House
committees. The bill to increase the
loans crate of interest one per cent? to
the banks to 100 per cent. of security
instead of 80 per cent, las now, has been
reported favorably by the House COM
mttee. The bill to loan money to
farmers on sufficient land security has
been reported unfavorably. When
the farmers hold party ties as lightly
as do the bankers and Pacific II. r.
owners, they will get measures favor

BECAUSE capital has been favored,
and labor always been oppressed, the
demagogue reasons that any variation
from this course is radical ana uncOn-
stitutional. Is our constitution so
made that taxes can be voted to the
rich, but no relief granted to the poor?
Were jefferson and his cO-workers
aristocrats in disguise? We are glad
that the Declaration of Independence
hasn't been legislated out of existence,
if it's ideas have.-Sol. Val. Dem.

TWENTY eastern Democrats could
vote against the free coinage of silver
without hurting their political prospects,
and thus allow twenty-five western Re-
publicans to place themselves on record
in favor of the bill, knowing there was
no danger of its becoming law, and
that it would be feather in their pros
poets without endangering the interests
of Wall street.

FRIENDS, don't 60 outside of the old
party lines for evidence to prove that
both the old parties are rascals, for the
reason that the Republican party, stand
ing on its glorious past, declares and at
firms that the Democratic party is ras-
cal. And the Democratic party, stand
ing on its glorious traditions, declares
and affirms that the Republican party is
a rascal. Now let the kverdict of the
verdict of the people be: that both par
ties get down and out.

Yes, congressman who have misre.

Yes, congressman who have misre-
presented the people for years, without
a thought of responsibility, are writ
ing home to ask what they shall do.
This is not from any lack of knowl-
edge as to what Is just and desirable
In the case, but for the Ostentatious
display of willingness to serve the peo-
ple--next time. Beware ofrepresent-
atives who are willing to confess ig-
norance as an excuse for failure in the
duties of representation.-E1.

WE venture to assert that the national
statutes of the past twenty-five years
have not single act that is calculated
to better the condition of the labOring
and producing classes. We also venture
to assert that the entire legislation of
this time has favored the contraction OF
wealth into the hands of the few, max
ing the rich richer and the poor poorer.

"Rummies" Burn the Greeley
CalabOOSe.

OdlhWOOSCs
Last Friday evening, the temper
ance people met at the M. E. church
to elect delegates to the prohibition
conference at Topeka, on the 18th
and to discuss ways and means Il
abate the o. p. hell-hole. The au
dience listened to stirring music an6
emphatic speeches.
Rev. Hinton was the last speaker
and, in the midst of his talk came q
report that the calaboose was burning
The report caused a general rush fol
the door, but the greater portion Of
the audience returned to their seats
and waited till Mr.. Hinton had flu
isbed his talk. In few minutes
however, all were Oh the grounds
watching the burning Of the building
The calaboose was wooden build
ing, built of oak scantling. The
house was fired by saturating it with
coal-oil and placing kindling-wOod
under the southeast corner. The
persons who got there first say thai
when they got there, it looked like
several gallons of oil had been poured
OH the building, and coal-oil wa'
smellcd plainly. The fire had gained
such Roadway that 1t could not be ex
tinguished.
So far, the bastard who fired thu
building has not been found, but ther'
is no doubt in the minds of the peo
pie as to who did the deed. 1t is sait
that threats were made by certain
parties on account of the arrest ant
Imprisonment of a certain person.
The decent people Of Greeley ar
indignant over the affair. The burn
ing of the calabOose will not save TIL
, ours who are in the habit of gettini
drunk about town. Indeed, the off
GERS will be more vigilant thar ever
and the old soaks will be gobbled u
and punished relentlesslv. A ney
lookup will be built-not of wood
but OF stone and iron.
Burning buildings and abusing de
cent people is the only argument use'
by the whisky devils. They hope t.
intimidate the people by their hellish
ness. But their last act in Creole.
has proved boomerang. Many VIII
were disposed to treat the rummie
leniently are now fully aroused to
sense duty, and are determined t.
push the devils to the wall.
This feeling is not confined to Gree
ley. The whisky fellows have becom
too bold and insolent. They are tn
ones who have forced this matter in
to politics, and forced it there to sta,
until settled. IT is useless for the PEG
pie to try to ignore the fact. Ever.
citizen who has the good Of the coun
try at heart is bound to take side
againct the rum power. This is al
issue that cannot be ignored.

THERE can be no doubt but what
the government could have built
all the railroads there are in this coun-
try and not exacted any more money
from the people than the railroad
companies have. The people have
paid for the roads, but they don't own
them. They should learn lesson
from the past.--Missouri World.

The sub-treasury bill and the free
coinage bill are already shelved by con-
gress. The next bill to be shelved will
be the bill providing for government
loans upon real estate security. This is
the kind of legislation the people may
expect as long as the old set of political
demagogues are permitted to domineer
over the voter.

A Professor Adametz has discovered
that a soft cheese, near the periphery,
contains from 5000, 900 to 5000, 900
microbes.
A luminous buoy has been invented,
the light for which is produced BY phos-
| phuret of calcium, and is visible two and
4 half miles away.
Electrically deposited copper is so
ductile that it can be drawn down until
it resembles the finest hair, and this, too,
without annealing.
The application of electricity to the
testing and working of metals goes on
apace, and nearly every week sees some
new development of electrical arts in this
direction.
During the last two or three years the
process of electric welding has sprung
into prominence, and it is now being em.
ployed in a variety of ways, such, for
instance, as the making of wheel tires,
boiler tubes, chain links, shells for large
guns, etc.
In the process of photographings COL

Decline of the Whaling Industry.

New Bedford, Mass, was at one time
the greatest whaling port in the world.
With the decline of the whaling industry,
however, mills were erected, and now the
town has become a manufacturing rather
than a seaport town. A dozen aband-
oned whalers lying at the docks tell of
long past days. 1t is a strange fact that
the timbers Of a whaling vessel seldom
decay. They become SO permeated with
oil that they are capable of resisting
times ravages for a long time. But their
peculiar shape renders them useless ior
other traffic. What whaling is now done
is mostly in the hands of the Portuguese.
