COL. HALLOwBLL AT CIMARRoN.

From the New West Echo.
The name of HallOwell is a synonym
! of success. The colonel spoke here on
/ Tuesday, and his presence had much to
do towards assuring the people that they
were not reposing confidence in him in
vain. Said a stalwart Democrat: "lf
! the colonel is so positive of success why
! does he make the canvass" Why, to be
sure he will be elected but the people
must have their confidence in him reaS-
sured and their energies in the canvass
redOubled. The candidate owes a GER
tain amount of respect to his party and
| personal friends and supporters, and this
Is best shown by a personal canvass
among them. Col. HalloweQ is not a
new man to the people, and hence needs
no Introduction; but he goes over the
district to find out what the people want
and To tell them what he proposes to do
for them. AS Republicans and indie
pendent Democrats we more cheerfully
give him our support under such circum-
stances.
Our next congressman gave the people
an able speech on the living and impor-
tant issues Of the day-our space does
not permit of even a brief report of his
remarks. He was an hour and forty
minutes speaking to the far audience
which had assembled to hear him, and
he spoke upon matters which have been
before congress the past session.
The general opinion is that the colonel
is in sympathy with the people in all
needed legislation for the betterment of
classes and western interests particularly.
He referred to the retirement of ma
tional banks as the exigencies of the
times demanded; of the absolute free
coinage of silver as a measure of partic-
ular concern to states west of the Missis
sippi river; of liberal pensions TO all hon
ably discharged so ders, and a liberal
provision for their widows and orphans.
As the eastern states had the lions
share of the treasury surplus for public
improvements, he favored the liberal
pension appropriation for the soldiers,
the greatest number of which resided in
the west; as by this means the west
would get its share of the public money;
and old soldiers could soon lift the mort
cages from their homes.
He said the national debt did not dis
tress the country, and the cry of hard
times was a delusion. The value of Kan
sas products this year alone was over
SlOD.VbV.OOU. Nilllt tie mortgage DltltDO-
edneSS did not exceed $50, 100000. Here
was enough TO wipe out every particle
of debt.
The colonel referred briefly to his mill
tarv career; and he ought to be proud of
that record. He disclaimed ever having
any connection with railroads, and never
received a cent from a railroad corpora
ton in his life He had been reared as a
community, and his interests and his
sympathies must be with the farmers.
He made good representatives speech,
and won additional respect for his
candor Col. Hallowell is a man of fine
oratorical ability, an able lawyer, and
his voice and influence will be felt in the
halls of congress; and where he will be-
come one of the leaders of that body.

the life saving service shows that the
United States has 226 stations, of which
165 are on the Atlantic coast, forty-five

the stations were organized, There have

THE PARTY AND ITs POLITICS.

In the present somewhat anomalous
condition of politics it seems almost use
less to discuss the claims of party or the
merits of candidates, yet we take it that
these considerations will exert sufficient
influence upon the voters individually to
prompt them to the discharge of a plain
duty at the polls. As before stated
there can be offered no good and suf-
fcient reason why every Republican in
Sedgwick county should not give the
nominees of their party a cordial and
enthusiastic support. They are sever
ally, the free choice of the party and
were put upon a platform of the party's
making. That they are each and every
one worthy and qualified for the posi-
tons they have been chosen to fill
is evidenced by the unanimity with
which they were selected, all of them,
and by the further test of the faithful
and satisfactory performance of duty by
those who are now serving their first
terms.
The Republicans of Sedgwick county
have a clear majority Of 1000 and the
ticket ought to receive just that majority
on the fourth day of next month, and it
will if the Republicans perform a plain
and simple duty-noJ to the candidates
and party alone, but to themselves as
members of the party none the less. 1t Is
not the EAGLES province to dictate to
anybody what they shall-Republicans do
not require such an Office, nor is it our pur-
pose to deliver a homily on political and
moral ethics: it is quite enough to simply
call attention to a state of case, and
leave the individuals intelligence and
sense Of fairness and right to do the rest.

The county offices to be filled by cleo
ton this fall-probate judge, attorney
and circuit court clerk, are all now filed
by Republicans, and no suspicion of I'M
fitness for their respective positions has
been so much as limited at By anyone
On the contrary all concede that these
offices were never better filled. These
men were unanimously named by the
party, through as large and harmonious
a convention as ever assembled in the
county, for their own succession. As
far as these facts go, therefore-and they
cannot be counteracted or overcome by
any counter statement, either against
them or in favor of others-they show
conclusively that a good, round majority
awaits them at the November election.

The enthusiastic reception given Sen
ator Ingalls, by the old soldiers at the
state reunion at Topeka Thursday would
seem to indicate that the senator is not
so bad off for friends and supporters as
his antagonists would have the public
believe. The demonstrations in his
behalf made by the old vets is but a
reflex of the sentiments of the entire
soldier population of the state, and its
strength and influence when exerted in
any cause is mighty potential The
same may be said and with equal force
and pertinence of Col. Jim Hallowell

congress in the Big Seventh district

That's Enough, Don't You ThinkP

From the New York star.
A druggist tells me that the tariff adds
from SIS, 900 to 5000 TO the value of
his stock in one day. This is nice for the
druggist, but how about the patient
public" High tariff men say that wages
will go up, and that if you raise man )
wages from St to s. he doesn't object to
an advance of 30 per cent in commodi-
ties. He feels that he has s. where he
only had four previously, and he can let

ing out an increased sum. With this in
crease he feels more like a capitalist

OF course the tariff is tax. Take nails.
for instance: The duty on key OF nails
is 81 10. The selling price in this country
is $50. Subtract S2l0 from Sl90 and YOU
have the tax paid 10y the consumer.-Em-
poris Republican.
In this case the tariff is prohibitiye:
but Will the esteemed tell Us why IL j.
necessary or eNpedient 10 continue in
force a measure that is imperative OF
that practically accomplishes nothing.
If the amount Of the duty Were added IL
the selling price of the article there
would be some show of necessity for the
protection il would thus afford; but as il
is now, competition nullilies the protect
i've benefits and. in effect, is worse than
absolute free trade.

This is fame. The Philadelphia Times
publishes a letter to Walt Whitman from
Matthew Arnold, dated Toxic, Japan,
Sept. 4, 1890 Matthew Arnold long ago
journeyed to a PARKWAY country, and we
had not heard that he had been able to
return, even by the way of Japan. 1t is
Sir Edwin Arnold who writes from Japan
and it is a striking commentary upon the
evanescent character Of reputation that
the living Sir Edwin should be mistaken
for the dead Matthew.

The One Thing Unprotected.

From the Philadelphia Times,
Congressman Butterworth hit the
monopoly tariff taxes right between the
eyes when he said in a recent speech
that the Mckinley bill left free the only
thing it professed 10 protect-that is la
Dor. The new monopoly tax tariff re-
stricts trade in everything but labor, and
the pauper laborers of Europe-the Hun,
the Pole, the Italian-can swarm in by
scores of thousands to take the place of
American laborers in our highly protect
ed shops and mills.

TRAVELLING BY AIR SHIP.

1t seems very probable that the much
dreamed Of and much planned expert.
ments of travelling by air ships is to take
some tangible form at last.
Several Chicago capitalists have been
holding long discussions on the subject
for some time, and the result of these
discussions Is now published. The
Mount Carmel Aeronautic Manufacture
ing company will be chartered-proba-
bly, already has beeR-at Springfield,
with capital of $2O,OOOO0O. The first
air ship is expected to arrive in Chicago
within sixty days
The Chicago Times gives this descrip-
ton of the plan: The proposed air ship,
models of which have been successfully
tested, viii carry cars the size of Pull
man cars with accommodation for fifty
persons each, special cars being manu-
featured for quick mail and passenger
service. Work will commence immedi-
ately at Mount Carmel upon the manu-
factory. The plant viii be a
mammoth one, covering many
acres. The first building t.
be erected viii $500 feet square. and the
contracts for 1t have already been let.
The company viii manufacture from the
raw material, even to the aluminium of
which the air ships Will be almost en-
tirely constructed.
Some one haikindIy sent to this Office a
publication containing what purports to be
an accurate illustration of the new piece
of enginery in flight, and partial descrip-
ton of its construction and general
mechanism. In appearance it Is q
peculiar combination of fans and wing,
and rudderS. and carriage and legs and
what-not. Guess we viii permit some
one else 10 test its carrying and speed
capacities and stick to the rails and ties.

Congressman Hallowen.

From the Sedgwick Tantagraph.
Hallowell is arc using an enthusiasm
never before known in the western half
of this district. Wherever he has spoken
he has made hundreds of warm friends
and supporters. That he will be elected
by handsome majority is now conceded
by almost every one, especially by those
in a petition TO know the exact standing
of the situation throughout the district.
The people of the Seventh congressional
district are loyal class of citizens, and
believe in rewarding loyalty to this ma
ton, loyalty to this state and loyalty to
republican form of government, and for
that reason they will reward James r.
Hallowell by electing him their next
congressman

Counting the Eggs to Soon.

From the Atchison Patriot.
The Alliance, the Democrats and Re
publicans are holding meetings all over
the state. and the fact is that the ALI
ance meeting draw the biggest crowds.
The Democrats have the best speakers
and the Republicans the most money
and the most brass bands, but the Ali
ance, except in the larger cities, where
the Democrats have the advantage, get
the most people out to their meetings.
How it viii be later on we will not
predict. The Republicans find it up hill
work to induce the people to listen to
their high tariff-bloody shirt harangues,
and from all accounts are very much
discouraged. II an election was held
today 1t Is quite certain that Humphrey
would be the third in the race.
