The "GIOriOus" Fourth.

Although the Fourth is past, the
following is good reading, and we
give it space:
The "Glorious" Fourth is close upon
us. We celebrate our independence
from Great Britain while a stronger
and if possible more merciless power
now controls us. Even the govern
ment We have established to protect
the people is under control OF great
mOnied interests that rule our legls-
lators through party caucuses, I'd defy
the will of the people as much as
Great Britain ever did. We rejoice
to feel, however, that greater intelli-
gence is dawning. The people are
fast learning how matters stand, and
before many "fourths" there will be
a house cleaning at Washington, and
again we can say the people rule.
God hasten the day!
If John Bull doesn't stop taking in
our farms on mortgages and buying
cur industries with the usury he
wrings from us, what will become Of
our Fourth OF July, anyhow ?-IOOa
Tribune.
At this time, friends, there is great
danger of being called rebel, a trai
tor or an anarchist, if we under
take TO enter our protest against the
same wrongs that our country's faith
ers declared against on the 4th day of
July, l776, or if we demand that the
legislation of the affairs Of this nation
should be in accordance and conform
to the principles contained in the dec
laration of American independence.

Detrimental to Farmers.

In conversation with mild, intelli-
gent looking man, a farmer by profess
sion, he said: ''Fire, flood, dry seas on,
chinch bugs, grass-hoppers-cOm closer
and I will whisper-class legislation or
anarchy in high places, the chattle mon
ey man and the mortgage all pursue me,
and my family is not safe in my home.
AS our markets are largely in Liverpool,
England, and the money center in Lon
don, in paying my debts exchange is
made on their basis. First. they fix the
price of products. Second, what kind of
exchange they will receive, all of which
trends closely against the tillers of the
SOIL" His demeanor called to mind the
lines OF the poet:
"Complacency and truth and manly sweetness
Dwell ever on his tong ne and smooth his tho is.
Is there no better reward from our Sec
ular party papers or from our govern
ment than the insecurity fhome at best,
for snch homage? should be the question
for us xll. But instead, secular papers
and party politicians are yelling after
such men ANARCHIST! when in truth tn e
anarchists are in the high places Of the
land. For instance, the credit strength
ening act added to the burdens of the
people more than six hundred millions
of dollars; and the act of February %,
1852, stipulated that the bond holders
interest should not only be paid in gold,
but in advance. We might go OH and
quote many others of the same nature,
but the following line is sufficient to
show that anarchy commences in high
places:
Imperial anarohs doubling human woe."
We have Columbia with the Liberty
cap on her head and scales pending from
her hand to measure out justice to all.
We bring before her august presence the
bond holder with h is bonds on the one
side, and the old soldier on the other,
their case being thus: "Interest on
bonds VS.. Pensions. The bond holder
has received four dollars as interest
where tue soldier has received one dol

FUNsToN's vote on the silver bill
will deceive no one. When his vote
was needed, and would, in connection
with one more Kansas congressman,
have passed the bill, his vote was
given against silver. But by fill
clustering a couple of days until the
absentees could be telegraphed and
brought in, and a majority against the
bill secured without his vote, he was
then permitted by Reed to vote for it.
Still, Funston did not vote either way
on the first ol-call, but waited until
there were sufficient votes cast to de-
feat the bill then he and the entire
Kansas delegation voted for it. That
man is coward who will desert to
the enemy in the time battle, and he
is dOubly coward who, after desert
ing to the enemy, will, after he has
helped to vanquish his friends, turn
round and pretend to assist them
when his actions have rendered their
case hopeless. Such a man is Funs-
ton.-Kincaid Hronicle.

WHEN Senator Stanford offered his
bill in the senate to lean money to the
farmers il was referred to committee.
That committee has reported against
the bill. Just the way it goes all the
time. The farmers have no show at
all when it cOmee to a contest with
the rich. If that bill should become a
law our farmers could get out of debt
and save their homes, but the money
loaners of the nation don't want it
passed, and they have bought the
committee. The farmers of the cOun-
try need not expect any law in their
favor till they have sense enough to
unite and elect men in sympathy with
them Legal Tender.

Funston Asks for Democratic
Support.

The lola Register doubts the truth
of our assertion that Funston has
sent out letters to Democrats, urging
them to vote and work for him at the
prim aries. He has sent letters to
Democrats of which the following is
copy:
"I will be candidate for renomi-
nation for congress. l want to thank
you for the support you have s" kind
ly given me in the past; and l hope
you may feel that you can give me
your support OEce more. Due notice
will be given of the time for holding
primary convention" Humboldt

The lola Register says that Funston
voted right on the silver question.
There is no doubt about it. He voted
or three sides of it at as many differ
ent times, and there was no possible
way to miss the right side.-Laeo-
renee Journal Tribune.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-07-14

The Funston papers of the district,
notably the lola Register, are very
soicitous in reference to the welfare
of the opposition, and are much exer-
cised because it is not concentrating
upon any one man. We have. heard
no complaints in regard to this from
any other source. so it is safe TO con-
clude that the opposition is doing the
wisest and best thing possible. The
opposition will be concentrated "
only too soon to suit the other crowd.
And The very fact that not one of the
opposition papers il bowling for any
particular man proves better than
anything else could the strength and
sincerity of the movement. There
will be no difficulty in concentrating
when the convention comes. 1t will
be upon the best and strongest man
in the district, and that bars Funs-
tOn.-LdWrence JOu'ndI- Tribune.

Sol Miller thinks Congressman
Morrill, can be induced to reconsider
decllnation to again become candi-
date. Just such men as Congressman
Morrill, have caused the disaffection
among the old soldiers by making
promises that they never attempted to
fulfil. AS we said last week the Re-
publican party in congress is the
worst enemy the Republican party
has to-day, and if our party don't
make pretty radical change in that
body some other party will. Just
stick pin there. Democrats don't
count, for we never expect anything
of them at any time.-Hutchinson Re-

FRsNcH-cANADlAN TOLERANCE,
A Small Party of Protestants BrutalIy
Mobbed at Hull, Ont.

Mobbed at Hull, Ont.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb 12.-Last night the
city of Hull across the Ottawa river from
here, was the scene of one of the most dis
graceful riots ever chronicled in Canada. A
small band of Protestant Evangelists from
Ottawa were attacked by howling mob of
nearly 1000 French Canadians, who were
armed with revolvers, shotguns, sticks and
stones. Seven persons were wounded-six
seriously. 1t appears that the Evangelists,
some twenty in number including four or
five ladies, some time ago announced that
they would hold Evangelical services in
Hull, which is inhabited almost entirely by
French Roman Catholics. They were
warned that serious trouble would result,
but IN spite OF the warning visited the city
last evening and began religious services in
a small mission hall
The Mob Begins Its Work.
In another portion of the city a crowd of
the toughest characters in the city congre-

with revoivers, shot-guns and other kinds of
weapons. The crowd increased in numbers
with great rapidity until they reached the
street in front of the mission hall where over
900 of the infuriated crowd hung about
the building swearing vengeance On the lit

powerless to disperse the mob. The mayor
