the TOPEKA convention. WNeu the farmers
allow such men as UtleN Snyder, Corning, Wake
field and The anarchist Vincent 10 lead them aud
dictate their platform and policy they ring their
own funeral knel -- Laurence Journal Tribune.
Does the Journal Tribune know
what the platform Of the Topeka CON
vention isl II was adopted at ST.
Louis on December 6, 1889, and the
statement that it was dictated by any
body in the Topeka convention only
exhibits the stupidity or the "cussed-
ness Of the person making il. This
form Of inyidious personal allusiOn
and persistent misrepresentation Of
facts is the only style Of political war
fare Of which the partisan press is
capable. What have these journals
to say Of the principles Of that plat
form2 Instead OF discussing these
the Journal Tribune takes occasion
to cast reflections upon the personal
character Of men who were present
in that convention but who had no
more to do with determining it's plat
form than had any other Of the dele
gates who assembled there from all
parts Of the state. Reference is made
to Mr.. Vincent as being an anarchist
Such a charge falls very fiat in the
face of existing facts. The people Of
Kansas have not forgotten the Cof-
ieyville dynamite outrage. Neither
have they forgotten that for two years
the Vincents have openly and publicly
charged (1) That this dynamite out
rage was a conspiracy Of the republi-
can party, the object of which was
thwarted by the premature explosion.
(9 That they know and are able to
prove who left the package Of dyna-
mite at the Office of the Pacific OK
press company. (3) That they have
at various times endeavored to get
papers for the arrest Of the guilty
party, and that republican political
influence has thus far prevented them
from doing so. (4) That instead Of
bringing the guilty party to justice a
republican Legislature created an Of
fee which is a mere sinecure, and
that a republican governor dictated
the appointment Of the criminal to
this Office for the purpose of keeping
him from turning states evidence and
giving the whole plot away. These
things, as before stated, the Vincents
have openly and publicly charged
for the past two years. Why do not
those whose character is thus publicly
impeached cause the Vincents to be
arrested for criminal libel, if these
charges are untrue. 1t occurs to us
that further reference TO anarchy will
be- in bad taste from republican sources
until that party vindicstes itself from
these damaging complications. Never
mind the funeral knell of the alliance
just now. II will be time enough TO
appoint funeral when the name Of
the corpse becomes known; and it
may happen that when that time ar
rives the mourners will not all be

the farmers OF Kansas the TACT mas
been apparent TO every one that the
remedy for existing evils must be
sought through Legislation The
method by which this should be ac-
complished has been the subject OF
long serious and anxious discussion.
Some have held from the first 10 the
necessity OF independent action, while
others, equally as honest, have held it
TO be more polite to seek reforms
through dominant parties. For a
long time this difference seemed un-
likely TO be reconciled, each party
holding tenaciOusly 10 the convictions
honestly conceived and conscientious
ly entertained II there has been one
influence more than another that has
been instrumental in reconciling this
difference OF opinion and practically
consolidating the entire order IN the
independent movement inaugurated
at the state house on the 18th inst, il
has been the attitude Of the republi-
can press toward the alliance. There
was time when the advocates OF in
dependent action were much nearer
the point Of yielding TO the opposite
party than were they TO the point Of
yielding to the independents; but,
while the order az whole was halt
ing between two opinions, the inAu-
ence Of the republican press did it's
work in a more thorough manner
than any other influence could have
done. COnsiderate treatment at one
time would have resulted in all prob
ability in an opposite course from the
one that has been determined upon.
We, who have from the first advocat-
cd an independent movement, can
but congratulate ourselves that the
press has thus unintentlonally aided
us in the realization OF our hopes.
The sentiment is now practically
unanimous in the state, and there will
be no opposition worthy Of note. The
people are most thoroughly organ
lied. They are not only bound
together by common interests but by
common obligations. They are ac-
customed TO the democratic doctrine
that majorities should rule. Those
who have honestly differed as to
methods OF procedure are not now
going to sacrifice the great purposes
Of the order because their individual
views have not been adopted. The
interests at stake are too momentous
TO permit a thought Of this kind. The
homes and the Liberties of the people
are endangered. The safety of the
nation itself is imperiled. Avarice
and greed have been gnawiRg at its
vitals until il is even now tottering in
its weakness upon the verge Of ruin.
Its lands and it's industries are rap
idly passing out Of the hands of the
American people and into the hands
Of foreign money kings. The iinan-
cial policy Of the government is die

SIX CONVICTED.

Verdict IN the No-Man's-Land Murder Case
Six Of the Murderers Of Sheriff Gross
Convicted and Five III the Defendants
notwithstanding Scenes In Court.
PARIS. Tex, July morn
| ing the jurors in the famous Cross case
came into the United States District
Court room and announced that they
had agreed on their verdict
There was moment of suspense, after
which the foreman handed the judge
the verdict, which .e passed to the
clerk, who read:
1--WE, the jury, would respectfully
represent to your honorable court that
we find C. E Cook, o. j. Cook, j. b.
Chamberlain, Cyrus Freese, j. Law.
renee and John G. jackson guilty OF
murder as charged in the Indictment
We find William OConnor, A. NJ. DON
aid, Smith Grubbs, j. w. Calvert and
John A. Rutter not guilty. AS to Ed
Bowden we agree it was mistriaL"
The verdict was what was expected,
though the features of some of the
doomed men seemed lightened.
The Judge directed that the convicted
be returned to Jail and that those who
were acquitted be set at liberty.
Then William O'Connor arose to adj
dress the court His face was livid with
rage As he proceeded it was evident
that he wanted to excoriate the prosecu-
ton, but Judge Bryant stopped him and
told him that he was satisfied that every
man connected with the case had done
his full duty.
Friends of the defendants then went
on the streets and INDUCED in great
deal of wild talk and vigorously de-
nounced Texas juries. They were par
ticularly angry at Hon. j. E. Nc
of the Government, and it was intimated
that violence would be offered him. but
deputy marshals were on the qui vive to
guard against any thing of that kind.
It was said that the friends of the
convicted men threatened to break open
the Jail, and a strong force was put on
duty to prevent it should it be done.
The wives of all the men except Jack
Lawrence, who is a bachelor, are here,
and are inconsolable.
All the men who were connected were
at the hay camp at Wild Horse lake on
the night of the killing.
There are nine others yet to be tried
who were there on the fateful night
OF these Ed. Bowden, B. A. Jones,
Charles Moore, Frank Balsley and
George B. Theames are under bond;
Sam Robinson is in the Colorado peni-
Tertiary, and the whereabouts of George
Smith, Sylvester Maher and Fred
Brewer is unknown.
The trial just closed was for the kill
ing of John w. Cross. There are still
indictments against all of the men for
the murder of Hubbard, Eaton and Will
cox, and for assault to kill Tonney. It
is believed that at the next trial the
Government will make still stronger
case.
A motion will be made for a new trial
and if Overruled the case will be take n
to the Supreme Court of the Uaited
States.

THE SEALING TROUBLES.

The Gravity Of the situation Causes Con
Gress to Ask for Inform stion-The British
Reinforcements In tho Pacific.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-For several
months the Foreign Affairs Committee
of the House has been engaged in dis
:ussion of various phases of tho Behring
sea sealing matter. There has been
little communication between the COM
mittee and the State Department with
relation to the affair, though Chairman
Hit of Illinois is close personal friend
Of Secretary Blaine. The negotiations
have been regarded as of so important
and confidential character that Secre-
tary Blaine has preferred not to inform
a greater mum Der of persons than ALSO
lutely necessary of the progress made.
Tuesday Chairman Hit called the
Foreign Affairs Committee together, and
agreed to report to the House at once a
resolution calling upon the President to
send to the House all the correspond
ence on the subject of the Behring sea
question that might properly be made
public. Mr.. Hit hurried into the House
as the hands of the clock pointed to
4:45. and in the turmoil that preceded
the adjournment he was unable to pre-
sent his resolution.
Yesterday the resolution was present.
ed to the House and adopted.
Speaking of the matter, Mr.. HIT said:
at is possible that all the correspond
ence between Great Britain and the
United States will not be sent to tho
House. as the resolution is so drawn
that the President may, at his discre-
ton, omit such part as in his judgment
should remain confidential"
Representative McCreary, of Ken
lucky, the principal Democratic mem
Der of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, has devoted a great deal of at
tention to the Behring sea dispute. In
speaking of the resolution, Mr.. Nc
Creary said: "While it is an exagger-
alton to say that we are threatened with
war, it is nevertheless fact that an un-
usually large British fleet is being as
sembled in the North Pacific. There
are already two war vessels lying of
Esquimault-the Amphion and the
Champion. ! see by the telegraph re-
ports that the War Sprite, Admiral
Holtham's flagship, is daily expected to
arrive there. accompanied by three other
war vessels carrying in the aggregate
thirty-six guns We are also told that
two British torpedo boats have crossed
the Atlantic-the first of their class to
make the trip. What do all these
preparations mean? Congress should
not proceed in the dark on such an i'm
portant subject We should know just
what has been done. and what it is ex-
pected may be done. In other words
Congress should have all the informa-
ton obtainable on this matter"
WHAT PAUNCEFOTE SAYS.
New YORK. July 10.-The World has
the following from Washington in re-
gard to tho Behring sea complications:
''Sir Julian Pauncefote was seen by the
World correspondent yesterday. He re-
peated the diplomatic denial which he
made Monday night, but said that he
preferred to add nothing to it which
might lead to friction or be miscon.
strued He added, however: There is
no doubt that our vessels in the North
Pacific are there to protect the British
flag and our sealers'"

1t Seems Strange.

1t seems strange that anyone will make a
use OF quinine and take their chances of
suffering from such distress as fullness of
the head, headache, dizzy sensations, intes-
all the good effects of quinine are secured
by use of that harmless discovery Of DR..
John Bull, Of Louisville, KY, known as
Smiths Tonic Syrup. No harmful effect
ever follows the use of this syrup, and it
tastes so good that children will ask for it
1t has never yet failed to cure a case Of
chills and fever, even when Quinine and
other preparations did no good. It is well
also to take a dose after any severe expos
ure as it will keep of as we'll as cure cold.
