Mrs HELEN M. COUGAR states, in

Mrs. HELEN M. COUGAR states, in
an article written by her, that she
was listener in the Kansas legisla-
ture at the time said Legislature voted
to change the name of st. John coun-
ty, to Logan county, and that the
present Attorney General, Kellogg,
was a member Of the state senate,
and took an active part in helping to
change the name, etc. She also says
that the late defeat of Kellogg was a
righteous Judgment in return for his
senatorial conduct. 10 this we say
amen. But do the managers Of the
Prohibition party in Kansas that
withdrew their candidate for attor-
ney general, in favor Of Kellogg, de-
serve any credit for the righteous
defeat of Kellogg? Again Mrs. Gou-
ger says that prohibition will prohib-
it, not only as much, but great deal
more, under Ives, than under KEEL
logg, il such thing can be. Now
then, if this be the case, where does
the credit come in, for the aforesaid
managers, and the party that voted
for Kellogg ?-the man who worked
and voted to change the name of a
county, simply because it was named
for a man that has grander and a
nobler principle than can be found in
all the combines of robbers that Kel-
logg and his party are worshippipg-
man who has, and had, the moral
courage to come out from among
them, in the interest of the home,
men, women and children of this
nation.

Seeking Whom They May DevOur.

The Eureka Union has been fln hished
with the following list of questions sent
out by the Republican state committee
to supposed solid and trusted Republi-
cans:
Are you acquainted with the Alliance
representative from your county?
What aged man is he?
How many has he i'm his family who
depend on him for support?
How much land has he?
How much i'm cultivation?
Bottom or upland?
What amount of mortgage is on his
lard?
What amount of chattel mortgage?
What are the prospects for payment OF
real estate mortgage?
Also prospects for paying chattel mort
gage?
Is he man who could probably be
easily influenced?
And any other information you can
furnish us.
The Ingalls, fiXers can have but one
motive in making these inquiries. That
is bribery-the buying of votes to elect
him to the senate. "VOtes count, no
matter how Obtained" SAYS Ingalls,. He
expects to buy, and naturally wants COM
petition, so he can buy at lowest prices.
He expects the Alliance members to be
penned up like donkeys in II corral. all
eager to sell or be sold. The scOundrel-
ism of this base business is beyond the
power of Kansas explosives to fittingly
describe-unless the one word. Ingallism,
expresses it.-OswegO Statesman.
