sISTENCY.
The Topeka Capital condesCends 10
thank THE ADVOCATE for referring TO it
as an organ Of the plutocrats In company
with the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
the Indianapolis Journal, the Chicago
inter- ocean, the Des Moines Register,
the ST., Louis Globe Democrat and the
Kansas City Journal, all of which news
papers are devoted TO the gold money
standard, to a spollation tariff system,
and are opposed to any kind Of prohib-
ltory liquor law. And to strongly pro-
tect itself in It's relation to these journals
the Capital says:
We like our company The papers mentioned
are the strongest and most consistent oXpOnents
In the west OF the Interests OF the people.
Now, with this gem of Boosting, self
satisfied plutocratic glory, the Capital
volunteers to submit the following:
The duty Of the farmers OF Kansas this fan Is
TO their state. Let fanClful national projects
fall is y Kansas ISSUE The only thing at stake Is
prohibition.
Could ignorant, pitiful pleading go
much farther than the foregoing actual
political lmbeCllityP
"The Kansas issue this fall" is to elect
a House Of Representatives that will re-
fuse to send for a fourth time to the Unit
ed States Senate John James Ingalls,,
and to elect seven members Of Congress
who are hostile to the legislation on
money and on the tariff, particularly
that have been cast by John A. Ander-
son, Edward II. Funston, Edmund N.
Morrill,, Bishop w. Perkins, Samuel r,
Peters and Erastus j. Turner, whose
names most properly so into q black list.

CAUGHT BY A FREIGHT TRAIN.
Narrow Escape from Serious Injury Near
the Ryrd-street Station.

An accident. in which three persons made
a narrow escape from being crushed under
the wheels of freight train, occurred a
few minutes before 10 o'clock last night at
the intersection of Seventh and Canal
streets. As il was two Of them were quite
painfully hurt.
When the train from the North arrived at
the Byrd-Street station at 9:45 two of the
passengers took a carriage for the Palace
Hotel. The driver mounted his box and
was crossing the canal bridge when he
saw the end of a shifting freight train very
near him and rapidly approaching the We
bicle. The end of the car ran against the
carriage, but the driver and the two
passengers all managed to get out of the
way without being manned.
One of the gentlemen. Mr.. Shaw, Of
Philadelphia had his wrist sprained and
his knees hurt. He did not think last
night that either would give him any great
inconvenience. His companion escaped
without injury. Tue driver, though, was
quite badly bruised by his lump. All of
them were fortunate not to have been
caught bv the train.
The railroad gates were not down at the
time. They either would not work or were
not signalled down. The hack was not ma
terially damaged.
