followers out of the alliance brush and
back into the ranks. 1t has even stolen
the alliance platform in this congress
si6nal district with the hope of alluring
the weak minded back to the fold.
AS to the position of the democratic
forces, our readers will excuse us if we
decline to state the position of our
party. Suffice to say that we know the
enemy is not only weak, but on the
point of retreat, and we propose to take
a hand in the fight and go in to win.
70 Democratic principles are firm and
undisguised; they are as solid and
pronounced as the Rock of Gibralter,
and the men who fight for them waste
no time in transparent bombast nor
petty skirmishing. When the demo
cratic party moves it will move in solid
plealanx-to victory or defeat. No
bushwhacking; no DISCUSSES; no Dor
rowed thunder; no scarecrows of dead
issues that are worn out with the use
of years; but arf open, unequivocal
Incorporating contest for the right
and for the good of our land.

NEIGHBOR CARAwAY says he is per-

Medicine Lodge man who was so awful
anxious to have the Pratt convention
do that which would help Hallowell.
That settles it; if-Deuton trained with
Caraway in Indiana politics we can
better understand how he could claim
to be democrat and at the same time
work in the interests of Hallowell.

DELEGATES to the Pratt Center con-

praise of the elegant manner in which

almost every residence in the city was
thrown open to them.

In COMMENTING Oh the result of the
Pratt Center democratic convention,
that staunch and well tried democrat,
w. A. Eaton, says in the Kingman
Democrat:
"Now that the fight is over and all
have had time to think, we counsel the
minority, to which we belong, to mod
Grafton and good sense. Let it not be
said that we lost our heads perma-
nently. Let us so behave that the
cheers which the republican lobby gave
for Hallowell may not be set down
against us; and, lastly, let us SO con-
duct ourselves as to do the greatest
possible execution against the veneer
able enemy of western interests, the
republican party. A victory over Hal
lowell would be a democratic victory,
no matter if accomplished through
Jerry Simpson.

SEVERAL republicans in this city
have asserted that ''several democrats
have told them they'' the democrats
s'would vote for Hallowell," but they
are none of them able to name such
democrats. Such talk is all buncomb-
chaff and nonsense.

WITHIN the next two weeks the
democrats of Kansas will meet in del
egate convention at Wichita, and if
they do that which they have the
opportunity of doing, they will name
ticket that will sweep the state in
November. The opportunity is here
and we feel that the democrats will
embrace it.

THE question of the day now is:
How many of the alliance men in the
county will stand by the nominees of
the peoples convention? Or, how
many republican alliance men will
knife the democrats on their ticket,
and how many democratic alliance men
will be unable to swallow the republic
cans on their ticket? The test is now
being applied, and the fight isOn. If
the alliance men all pull together, they

men of principle, will watch the situa-
ton closely and govern themselves
accordingly. Theenemies. of the DEM
ocRAB will want this paper to come
out red hot either for or against the
alliance paper. Our friends, who
recognize that the paper is honestly
fighting for the success of the right
principles will consider, as we do, that
we are not called npon to either fight
or antagonize the alliance ticket, under
existing circumstance. The alliance
movement is in the testing crucible-
we are an interested on-loOker of the
refining process.

NEW CRUISERS.
The Bids for ths Big Ship Thought to Be Ex
cessive-Cramp's Statement.

The Bids for til, Big Ship Thought to Be Ex
cessive-Cramp's Statement.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE bids for the
new naval vessels, which were opened yes
terday, have been referred to the Bureaus
of Construction and Engineering. The Sec
retary is under the impression that the fig
ures submitted on the great armored cruiser
are excessive, and has asked for special
report on this point FROM the bureaus. 1t
is not likely that the bureaus will make any
recommendations, but they will simply sub
nit certain comparative figures for the Sec
retary's guidance. Taking bid of S3,OO0,-
coo as basis, an armored cruiser, at the
weight of 500 tons, would cost S370 per ton,
whereas the armored coast-defense ship
Monterey, which Scott Is now building, will
cost S407 per ton.
The other two armored vessels now un-
der process OF construction, the Maine and
Texas, are also III excess OF the estimate OF
$50. the former being $3.50 a ton and the
latter 1896 ton. These figures are based
ON the estimated cost of the two vessels
which the Government Is building.
The reports of the bureaus will probably
be in about this vein, and the Secretary
will be at a loss to know what to do. There
is no doubt that there will be considerable
study on the part of the department as to
whether it would be better to adhere to the
Secretary's plans or to adopt one or the
other OF those submitted yesterday, and in
the latter event it will be grave question
between two great firms, the SCOTS and
Cramps
1t is understood that Charles Cramp,
who was at the department. to-day looking
after his interests, has said that in his
opinion all the bids on the S100-ton ship
are excessive. This statement has opened
the eyes Of the officers in view Of the fact
that one of the bids was submitted by HIM
self. There is an idea prevalent that the
plans submitted BY the Cramps differ from
those of the Government only in the ar
rangement of the boilers

SPRECKELS TALKS.
Denial That They Instituted Proceedings
Against the American Refinery.

PHILADELPHIA, June 11.-Claus Spreek-
els Jr. says; Our refinery in this city is
now turning out 5000 barrels day. In a
week we will have all our plant
in operation and will double the
present output. We did not instigate the
suit for the forfeiture of the charter Of the
American Refinery at San Francisco; A;
the authorities did that, the same
as other officials have done in
other States, as they considered the trust
an injury. We have nothing TO do with the
litigation going on in san Francisco. People
have coupled our names with the prosecution
because we are fighting the trust. The
placing of the refinery again in the control
of the trust threw 1900 barrels
of sugar on the market and broke
the price. There is no truth in the
trust on territorial basis. We do not en-
tertain the smallest intention OF allowing
ourselves to fall under the yoke of the
Sugar Trust. The stories circulated as to
our losing money and organizing stock
company is not correct. We are entirely
satisfied with our profits.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Trustees Of
the sugar trust were in annual meeting yes
terday. 1t is reported there was no election
of Trustees or other officers. The proceed
ings were harmonious. There probably
will be no change in the presidency OF the
trust at present. 1t is also reported the
usual dividend will be declared.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE sensational
story printed in New York yesterday morn
ing that Spreckels has been won over by
the sugar trust is emphatically denied by
c.. A. Spreckels, who says his father has no
intention of yielding.

PARIS (Ark.), June 1.-THE jury in the
Cross murder case was impaneled this even
ing. Herbert Tonney, the principal wit
ness for the Government, made statement
as follows: John NJ. Cross, Sheriff OF Ste
yens County, Kans., on July "a, 1888, sum-
moned Rollin Wilcox. Ted Eaton, Robert
Herbert and himself to go with him to No
Mans Land to prevent some trouble there.
They went at once, and. falling to find the
parties wanted, started back home. On the
night Of July 25th they stopped at hay
camp, nine miles from the Kansas line,
where they were surrounded about mid
night and compelled to surrender. After
surrendering they we're forced to hold up
their hands and be disarmed. When their
pistols were taken from them they were shot
Witness was shot through the shoulder and
teigned death. When the attacking party
mad satisfied themselves that the Sheriff
and posse were all dead they went away.
Witness then got his horse and managed to
reach the settlement at noon the next day.
News of the killing had already preceded
him there, and party had gone after the
bodies of tie murdered men. Witness
identified among the attacking party G. e.
Cook. T. NJ. Donald, o. j. Cook, G. b.
Chamberlin, j. w. Calvert, Sam Robinson
and Joseph Wrigley. Before the cToss-ex-
animation OF the witness was begun court
adjourned till O'Clock tomorrow morning.

TEMPERANCE CONGRESS.
Discussion Of the Question Of State and Ma
t;onal Prohibition.

Discussion Of the Question Of State and Ma
tional Prohibition.
New YORK, June 11.-Rev. DR.. Deems
was made President Of the National Tenn
perance Congress which convened here to-
day, and began its work by discussing the
question, Is State and National Prohibi-
ton Desirable and Feasible?" He held it
to be desirable, and instanced the condition
of Maine now and before its temperance
legislation. Robert Graham, who was
introduced as a representative of the church
movement i'll behalf of temperance, took the
ground that national or State prohibition
was neither desirable nor feasible. The
total prohibition of the sale or manufacture
Of wines and fermented or distilled liquors,
he said, would be an extreme law and
should have an impregnabie basis. Proni-
bition, lie asserted, was not effective. He
was in favor of high license. The next
topic taken up WAS the battle at Omaha, the
opening address being made by Professor
Cornwall of Aberdeen. This referred to
the pending struggle in behalf OF prohibi-
tion amendment in Nebraska. The day was
given up to the discussion OF papers of kin
dred topics.
At the evening session Rev. Dr.. Howard
Crosby denounced prohibition as untlmely
and impracticable at the present time. He
favored a high license. He urged unity OF
of Prohibitionists instead of organizing
against workers who differed from their
views and in conclusion said that if prohi-
bition could be adopted by force in New
York City the flood-gates Of vice would be
thrown wide open.
