Just About the Same.

Human nature is about the same every
where. There are both good and bad
men in every political party and it makes
no difference by what name the party
may be known. We are willing to admit
that there is just as much virtue and
honesty in the Peoples party as there is
in the Republican party, but we are not
willing to admit that there is any more.
We believe that the rank and file of both
parties are honest and honestly endeavor-
ing to vote according as their consciences
may dictate We believe that no party
has ever existed which did not number
among its ranks some one who endeavor-
ed to use it for selfish purposes and to
serve their own selfish purposes at the
expense of the party at large. That is
the history of the two old parties, we are
frank enough to admit, and, although too
young to have made much history, the
same state of affairs already exists in the
new party. That man is a demagogue
who will tell you that the old parties are
tuOIOuBulg COlIupI3 Nu1lO luO uoM 10 Gil
that is pure and righteous. The great
majority III both parties are loyal to the
best interests Of their community and ma
tion and they can shape legislation in one
party just as well as in another. Hence
we see NO necessity whatever for a new
party at this time. Let the majority in
both parties control their respective par
ties and shape legislation in their interest
and advantage. If this is done there is
absolutely no danger and no difference
which party is successful. The forma-
ton of new parties will not remedy the
evil, for designing men, demagogues and
ofice-seekers will endeavor to control
them just the same. 1t is not new parties
that we want We have parties enough.
The solution of the whole matter can be
found an the honest members of the pres
ent existing parties demanding and actu-
ally compelling their parties to afford
them the needed legislation.

Alliance Platform.

The following seven demands
were adopted at the st. Louis con-
vention, December, 1889, as the
platform of the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union:
1. We demand the abolition of nation
al banks and the substitution of legal
tender treasury notes In lieu of national
bank notes, issued in sufficient volume to
do the business of the country on cash
system, regulating the amount needed on
a per capita basis as the business interests
OF the country expand; and that all money
issued by the government shall be legal
tender In payment of all debts, both pub
lie and private.
Western Kansas world., 1890-10-25

2. We demand the free and unlimited
coinag OF silver.
3. We demand that congress shall pass
such laws as shall effectuany prevent the
dealing In futures in all agricultural and
mechanical productions, preserving such
q stringent system of procedure in trials
as shall secure prompt conviction and
imposing such penalties as shall secure
the most perfect compliance with the
law.
4 We demand the passage of laws pro-
hibiting alien ownership of land, and that
congress take early steps to devise some
plan to obtain all lands now owned by
aliens and foreign syndicates; and that
all lands now held by railroads and other
corporations IN excess of such as are actu-
ally used and needed by them, be re-
claimed by the government and held for
actual settlers only.
| 5. Believing IN the doctrine of "eQual
rights to all and special privileges to
none," we demand that taxation, national
or state, shall not be used to build up one
interest Or class at the expense OF another.
We believe that the money of the country
ehouldi be,kept as much as possible in
the hands of the people, and hence we de-
mand that all revenues, national, state or
county, shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government economically
and honestly administered.
6. We demand that congress provide
for the issue of a sufficient amount of
fractional paper currency to facilitate ex-
change through the medium of the United
States mail.
Z. We demand that the means of COM
municatiop and transportation shall be
owned by and operated in the interest of
the people, as is the United States postal
system.
The Kansas F. A. and l. y. add to
the above these:
8. We demand such legislation as shall
effectually prevent the extortion OF usur-
ious interest by any form of evasion Of
statutory provisions.
g. We demand such legislation as will
provide for a reasonable stay of execu-
ton in all cases of foreclosure of mortga-
ges on real estate, and a reasonable ex-
tension of time before the confirmation of
sheriff sales,
10. We demand such legislation as will
effectually prevent the organization or
maintenance of trusts and combines for
purposes of speculation in any of the pro-
ducts of labor OF necessities of life, or the
transportion of the same.
II. We demand the adjustment of sal
aries of public officials to correspond with
existing financial conditions, the wages
paid to other forms of labor, and the pre-
vailing prices of the products of labor.
70. We demand the adoption of the
Australian system of voting and the Craw-
ford system of primaries.

The Recent Rate War

Advertised the Burlington Route prob
ably more than anything else could have
me. Her old established line, such as
her line to Chicago, hardly needed this
advertising, as it was established years
ago, way back in the old era before the
war;" and has acquired reputation for
speed, safety and comfort entirely un-
rivaled. But her comparatively new ST..
Louis line was advertised as it only
could be advertised by, the crowds who
were induced to travel on account of the
reduction in rates. This ST. Louis line is
recent departure of the Burlington.
About year ago through train service
was first inaugurated between Denver
and st. Louis via st. Joseph and Kansas
City. This magnificent train of Sleepers
and free Chair Cars, leaving Kansas
City and st. Joseph after supper places
the passengers in st. Louis in time for
breakfast the next morning.
The cut rates also increased the bulk
of the st. Paul travel, but here, as with
the Chicago line, the added advertise
ment was unnecessary, for in this busi-
ness the Burlington is not much troubled
by competitors. One or two lines sys-
tematically advertised st. Paul and Min
neapolis business, and then go tacking
across States like ship against a head
wind, or sending spur from a Chicago
line, call it through st. Paul Route.
The Burlington's through trains from
Kansas City, Atchison and st. Joseph,
includes the following.
First in the list stands the "EE," the
famous Chicago flyer leaving Kansas
City, st. Joseph and Atchison IN the
early evening it makes the run to Chicago
in little over twelve hours. This train
has Dinning Cars en- route.
st. Louis is reached by the evening
train, of which we have already spoken.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put into
rapid communication with the lower
Missouri river points by two superb
trains daily, one leaving Kansas City In
the late morning and the other in the
evening, make the run from Kansas
City to Omaha in about eight hours;
the morning train carries through cars
to Minneapolis and st. Paul, placing
passengers In these cities within twenty
hours of the time they left Kansas City.
1t should be born in mind that all
these trains carry Palace Sleepers and
Free Reclining Chair Cans. Many Of
them are vestibuled and where il adds
to the convenience Of passengers have
splendid Dining Car service.

Resolutions Passed BY the Republi-
can County Convention.
WA-KEEEEY, Kansas, October IL, 1890.
RESOLUTIONS,


We, the republicans of Trego county, in conven-
ton assemblies, reafirm allegiance to the prin-
ciples of our party enunciated in the platforms
adopted at the late state convention held at Topeka
and congressional convention held at Colby, and as
further declaration of our principles, be it
Resolved, That we favor such legislation as will
protect the interests of farmers against trusts
and combines, and viii secure to their products the
same protection as that enjoyed by the eastern
manufacturer.
Resolved, That we commend the republican party
for the passage of the most liberal pension laws ever
adopted by any government, and further favor
the enactment of service pension bill, which we
declare that justice and patriotism alike demand
should become a law before the rank and file of
the patriots who came to the rescue of country
in the hour of peril buried beneath the soil of
the nation which they so vsliently defended.
Resolved. That we favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and such further increase of the
volume of currency as will meet the needs of our
people.
Resolved, That while we recognize the fact that
by of the supervision and wholesome re-
strictions placed around the mode of transacting
the business of national banks by general gov
ernment, the number Of failures by such banks and
the loss to their depOsitors have been reduced TO
minimum, we believe the same results can be at
tanned and much money saved to our government
by repeal of the National Banking law and the
substitution of government greenbacks for the ma
tional bank circulation already issued, and the en-
actment of a state Law subjecting all banking inst
tutions to the same control by the state as is now
exercised over national banks by the general gov
ernment.
Resolved, That we favor the enactment of a law
allowing a reasonable period for the redemption of
real estate sold under execution order of sale;
that the outrageous practice of mortgages in bid
ding in land at one-fouIth its value and retaining
judgment against the person of the unfortunate
mortgagor for large balance of the debt may be
stamped out and become relic of the past.
Resolved, That in senior senator, John J.
Ingalls,. We recognize man who stands without q
peer in that honorable body in which he has so long
and faithfully served our people and so ably de-
Tended the rights of the soldier and the principles of
party that We heartily favor his reelection to
the position he now so ftly occupies and 50 emf
nently adorns, and we hereby instruct our nominee
for representative TO cast his vote for his reelec-
ton.

mo Time to Swap Horses. -

Some of our Alliance friends make the
serious mistake of supposing that reforms
can be inaugurated and carried out al
most instantaneously. The Republican
party has placed itself squarely on record
as fsvoring the same reforms and the
same legislation that the Alliance de-
mands and as an evidence of good faith
have already gone to work to carry them
ont. More has been accomplished in the
last session of congress in the interest of
the agricultural and laborine classes than
Western Kansas world., 1890-10-25

ever before. 1t is true that the ruling
motive power In politics is self interest
and almost every member of the Repub-
ican party in Kansas is financially inter-
ested in seeing the reforms demanded
faithfully carried out and it viii certainly
be done. The Republican party has al
ways been noted for keeping its pledges
and it Will not fail us now. When it does
it viii be time to seek relief from some
other source. at is no time to trade
horses when we are crossing a stream" !"

Badly Mixed.

Politics are certainly badly mixed in
Kansas. In Wallace county the Repub-
licans and Alliance support the same
identical ticket in opposition to the DEM
ocrats and in Ellsworth county the re-
pubicans and democrats combine on a
ticket in opposition to the alliance. 1t is
always so, more or less, in Kansas on of
years, but it is perhaps more mixed this
fall than ever before.

Avoid all Substitutes for
Royal Baking Powder:

No other Baking Powder is "just IS good as the Royal" either in strength,
purity Or whoesomenes. The "Royal' is superior 0 all others in all ways.
Most housekeepers know this from their practical experience, and the reports
of the U. S Government Investigations show it officially The Government
chemist says the "Roya" is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking
powder offered to the public"
It some grocers try TO sell another baking powder in place Of the Royal"
they do Q because they car make a greater profit upon the other; good evil
dence of the superiority of the "Royal" To give greater profit the other must
be a lower-cost powder and to cost less it must be made with alum or cheaner
and inferior materials.
Because the "Royal" uses more highly refined and expensive materials it
cossm more to manufacture than any other baking powder, but it is correspond
ingy purer and higher in leavening strength, and accordingly of greater money
value to consumers although the retail price to them is generally the same.
Consumers are entitled to full value for their money, and therefore will not If
wise, accept any substitute for the "Royal"
Unfortunately not only are many of these would be substitute powders made
from interior and unwholesome materials but they are placed before the public
with advertisements intended to mMlead a. to their true character. A powder
advertised by its manufacturers to have printed upon its label all the ingredients
used in it, proves upon analysis to have in its composition four substances not
named upon its LABEL two of which are lime and suphurc acid. Most of the
alum powders ar raudulenty sold a. pure cream Of tartar goods.
The danger incurred, should such powders be substituted for the "Royal"
will be apparent to every consumer.

Moro About The Fire.

1t is seldom a fire company displays
more promptness of action than was shown
by those who took charge of the fire de-
partment during the absence Of the officers
at the tournament. The alarm was given
about 8 o'clock q. m. by Policeman Hatch
and in a short time the company, IN
der the management of Chief Reede, were
pouring water on the flames. Mr.. Kupitz
does not know what to estimate the loss at
but $40 worth of salt, the damage to the
barn and the loss of a horse is about the
total. The barn was an old one and prob
ably 800 would cover the loss. The horse,
although worth ABOUT that of the average.
was priced very highly for the service he
had done, having been used on the deliv-
cry wagon for the past seven years. MI.
Knpitz says he believes the horse would
have delivered goods to his customers
without q driver and that he would not
have taken $500 for him. The buildings in
the rear of the Central block were also Wis
tied and some paper in them set on fire,
which went out without doing any dam
age. Other evidences, although not very
important, cooperate in leading to the be-
lief that the fire was not caused by acct
dent but by some incendiary.

The ROsebud's Trip,

The steamer Rosebud left for Fort Yates
Wednesday with a good cargo of grain and
provisions for the post. She had on board
several passengers on business and pleas
ure trips. The boat was in good shape and
expects a successful trip. On the return
she will have or board an excursion party
from Yates. The boat without bad wealth
or or other accident will arrive in Bismarck
next Sunday and the party will visit the
points of interest in the city before their
return. The citizens of Bismarck will ex-
tend a cordial welcome and endeavor to
make their stay pleasant.

too much water to mine it.
MI. Amund Thor vas digging a we'll on
his claim the other day and when he cot
down about forty feet and had no signs of

any deeper, so he got a long augur and
bored down about five feet. Then the
water came up with such force that it was
impossible to stop 1t. he tried to stop the
water by driving a long thick pole in the
hole. but the pole went up in spite of him
and the water came in faster than they
could stone up the well. ~, -,
Plenty of rain has come down the last
