Sensible Words.

The alliances throughout the state
are beginning to protest in 10 uncer-
tain words against the efforts of the
democratic and union labor dema-
gogues to convert the order into an
anti-republican political machine. The
following resolutions were adopted last
week by Buena Vista alliance, Sum-
ner county:
WHEREAS, Certain leaders of the alliance
of this county have used all their influence
to prevent the real object of the alliance
and drag IL into politics to subserve the

such movements, therefore be it
Resolved, By Buena Vista Alliance No. les,
that we protest against the action of the
peoples convention, and that we do not con-
slider ourselves under any obligations to
support the ticket placed in the field.
Resolved, That we have lost no faith in
the alliance and that we are true to 1t and its
principles, and that we regret the action
taken In politics, and that we regard il as
the rock upon which the order may be

WHEREAS, The business OF buying and

Triumphant Kansas.

The following pointed and cOmpli-
mentary editorial from the Kansas
City News, is inspired by the crafty
ing census returns from Kansas:
Nothing in the figures sent out by
the census bureau and printed in the
Evening News today, is more crafty
ing than the showing made by the
glorious state of Kansas. The claims
of the widest Kansas boomers have
not exceeded 100000 people as the
measure of the states population. The
political vampires who would sap the
life of the state to further their own
partisan ends have claimed that only
l 200, 900 people would be found by the
census enumerators. But Kansas has
COMPOUNDED its detractors and exceeded
the widest hopes of its eulOgists. Here
are the figures:
Population in 1880. .......... 996, 900
Population in 1890. $3.50, 900
What then about the thousands
driven from Kansas by restitution and
famine? How about the depopulation
effects of prohibition? Where comes
in the exodus of unhappy farmers dis
possessed by the foreclosure of mort
cages? How happens it that Kansas,
about which all kinds of malicious and
harmful lies have been circulated,
comes so nObly to the front? The hot
wind and the blizzard, the temperature
of each graded according to the limit
of the Imagination of the newspaper
correspondent, the cyclone and the
flood, the strident graSshOpper, the in
sidious chinch bug and the still more
voracious mortgage loan companies
seem to have failed of their purpose.
Kansas positively will not be put
down. Her record in the census of
1900 will eclipse that which she has
put forth in this year of glorious
triumph.

At last somebody has been found
who has previously heard of the
chump, Rightmire, whom the peoples
party has nominated for the important
position of chief justice. 1t is the edi.
tor of the Larned Chronoscope. "Right-
mire," exclaims the Chronoscope.
THAT name sounds familiar. o yes, he
is the man who was indicted in Pawnee
county for attempting to swindle the
farmers on drive well point scheme.
Come to think about it, one of the
Pawnee county delegates to the con-
vention that nominated him for chief
justice was on the grand jury that in
dicted him."

No amount of injury to property or
months of idleness and even the abso-
ldte loss of every cent of revenue by
every Chicago road will swerve the
railways from this course
This matter was discussed at q
meeting of general managers after
word had been received that the stock
yards switchmen had struck. The gen.
eral managers of nearly all the roads
were present and they were fortified by
the presence of many presidents and
vice-presidents. All were authorized at
a previous consultation to enter into an
agreement to fight to the end, no mat
ter what the results may be. And every
man spoke and entered into such an
agreement, which is that all Chicago
railways will stand together as one in
dividusl TO oppose the unjust demands
made upon the Stock Yards Switching
Association or upon any of the inter
ested railways. 1t is the first time that
the railways ever united. They will

patch from the special land examiner.
The fact is that most of the people
who went to that country were without
means when they entered the Territory
and as there has been no method by
which they could earn anything they
are well-nigh in despair. 1t will
not be until 1893 that they will realize
anything from their lands and by that
time nearly all the present residents
will have been starved out. 1t was but

Standing Up for Their Rights.

Another sample of the scores or ALL
ances in Kansas which are rebelling
against the unholy peoples party
scheme is the Ssrcoxie alliance, OF
Douglas county. 1t does not believe
in lending the power of the farmers
organization as a cats paw to the poll
ticians, who desire to get other chest
nuts than themselves out of the fire.
That alliance is level headed and is
evidently made up of intelligent think
ing men. The resolutions read:
WHEREAS, 1t is currently believed
that the farmers alliance of the state
Of Kansas has been organized into
political party by the men who hold
the offices therein; and
WHEREAS, 1t is apparent that the
party known as the peoples party,
like all other such organizations, SUBJ
iect to the internal methods of party
spirit, lies, lash, ETC., is sure to be
cursed with and controlled by the most
uncomfortable demagogues, party
bosses and ward repeaters, as soon as,
or before it has achieved its first VIC
tory, as all its predecessors have been;
and
WHEREAS, 1t is pretended, "by some
of our brotherhood and Others" by
whom the resolutions of Jefferson
county ''have been misconstrued,"
that alliance principles bind alliance
members to vote for the nominees of
the peoples party; therefore
Resolved, By Sarcoxie alliance No.
2,O7O, that we affirm what we under
stand to be sound alliance doctrine on
this point, to wit: That no one, by be-
coming an alliance member, impairs in
the slightest degree that inalienable
right and duty which belongs to Amer
lean citizenship, to take proper inter-
est in the politics of this American
country.
Resolved, That it is reserved by
every alliance member as the right OF
a free man to affiliate with any party
that will, for the time being, best carry
| out correct principles.
Resolved, That any class organiza-
ton which seeks to deny or to impair
this inherited right and duty OF party
action and utilization, by the individual,
is an enemy to country and peril TO
civil government.
Resolved, That it is the unwritten
law of this republic, binding upon all
the citizens thereof and recognized by
most of them, that they must affiliate
with the political party that will best
carry out correct principles in the ad-
ministration of government in all its
relations and obligations, which is
| most nearly corresponding to their
| judgment as the wisest in policy,
soundest in principle and safest in the
custody or management of govern
mental affairs.
Resolved, That all alliance members,
all American citizens, are in duty
bound, imperatively, to attend all the
primary conventions and by their
united, earnest, prayerful effort. pre-
vent the sordid, the mercenary, those
who can be bought from attending, as
delegates, any nominating conventions,
| county, state or national; and so,
build up strong popular opinion to
enforce the exalted sentiment OF the
great grandfathers, which requires that
the man shall not seek the office.
