Two State Elections,

The course of the republican party in
congress has thoroughly solidified the
democratic party, if we may judge by
election held in Alabama and in Ken
tucky last Monday.
Reports from Alabama show
increased democratic majorities from
all sections with the republicans con-
trolling scarcely a county in the state.
In Kentucky the democratic major
ity is far ahead of anything known in
recent years. The majority for Gen.
Buckner thee years ago is increased
125 per cent; that given for Cleveland
in 1888 is increased 80 per cent. Even
rock ribbed republican counties just
now penetrated by railroads and
enlightened by0the Courier Journal join
the de .nOcratic ranks.
The returns indicate the feeling
aroused among the people by the revo
lntionary methods of the republican
leaders. Men who have never voteC
with t1e democrats on any issue set
that the republican party is sectiona
| organization ready to sacrifice ever,
interest in the south to some temporary
party necessity. They see the hopeless
ness of trying building up the republi
can party in tie face of such tactice
and so they cast in their lot with theil
neighbOrs and friends.
This is the first response of the peo
pie to the challenge of Reed, Mckinley
and Davenport. Now for the congress
sional elections.-Louisville Couree,

SOME PERTINENT ANSWERS.

The head Office of the mortgage divis-
ion of the census bureau are in receipt
of some queer replies in answer . to
iEquires as to the purposes for which
money was raised on mortgages. One
hundred and seven counties, embrac-
ing all sections of the country, were
selected and inquiries sent out as to
why the mortgages were given. Fol-
lowing are some of the answers re-
ceived:
A westezn farmer groaning under a
mortgage of $500 relieves his mind by
writing that the debt was contracted
''for the purpose of enabling me to pay
tariff on the things have to buy and
to make up the losses 1 sustained. by
reason of non-exportation of the things
have to sell.n
A very large and ample explanation
seems to be that offered by the man
who wrote that he had a mortgage of
s400 put on his house to pay debts con-
tracted in raising family of ten chill
dren-
Another man juStifies his going into
debt by explaining that the money
raised by the mortgage. amounting to
S110, was ito make home pleasant py
purchasing an organ to keep my boy at
/ home, which proved a success, for
which 1 am proud"
A pathetic case of extreme poverty
is indicated by a mortgage recorded in
a southwestern state amounting to SIS.
The Indebtedness has been on record
for about five years, and during that
period the debtor has managed to pay
onls about So The person giving the
mortgage was widow, and she states
that she used the money to pay the
I funeral expenses of hershusband. An
ante-pellum debt is accounted for by a
man who stated that the nfSney was
used to pay for negroes purchased by his
, father before the war.
In attempting to explain that his
mortgage of nearly $500 was a renewal
of an old one, a western farmer does
mot refrain from adding: "Give us free
lcoinage of silver, enlarge our circulat-
fing medium. ans We can pay our
debts.''
Anether one Srites: Borrowed
money for general uses on account of
, failure of crops, and 1 reckon. 'he adds
gith southern naNness, you'll find
that L am id bad manager; but
there are many more in the same fixs
Misery loves company"
), Perhaps the most remarkable expla-
nation was given by aman who stated
that he was obliged to borrow the
money TO pay the damages in sun
. brought against him for alternating the
affection of another mans wife He
could not refrain from adding the 1ri-
umphant words: Il have her"
An aspiring politician in the west
risked 500 ON his political success. He
confesses to the census Office and says
that it aSas to pay expenses of election
At the close, however, he writes the
word busted, ;" which indicates that he
lost the election as well as tie money.

In Rice County.

From last week. Sterling CsosipsoR
we take the following extracts concern
ing the great alliance meeting there on
the 5th inst:
We were told by good judges on such
matters that the procession, If i1 single
file, would not fall much short of being
SIX miles i'm length. and We think that
2, 800 is a very conservative estimate of
the number taking part in the demon
stration. True, there were many
farmers who were not in the parade,
and the crowd in the city can lie safely
put at about 1000 all told At 1:3O
O'Clock the crowd began TO gather at
tie park, and at two the exercises were
opened with song by the female glee
club, followed with another by male
voices, then followed music by the
Sterling cornet band, and then came a
song by those of the audience who could
sing. after which Mayor Gaskell made
the address of welcome in a. short but
appropriate manner. which was received
with cheers. President Black then
introduced The principal speaker of
the day, Gen. Jas. b. Weaver, ,sof Iowa
who, for two hours and twenty minutes,
held tine vast assemblage utterly SPELL
boGnd by his lucid and forcible argu-
ments on the great issues of the day, as
viewed from an alliance standpoint.
He is certainly a good taiker, and is
truly sincere in what he advances.
Following Gen. Weaver, came the
much talked of and greatly abused
Jerry Simpson. candidate on the alli-
ance ticket fer congressman from this
district. who in few well chosen
remarks made himself acquainted with
his audience in qulck-metre time, and
they seemed to take great liking to
him from the start. Mr.. s. NJ. Scott,
of Mcpherson. an opponent of Mr..
Simpsons for the congressional plum.
| was then called out and made a few
remarks pert1nent to the wants and
desires of the alliance, which were
received with applauses and cheers.
After three rousing cheers and
music by the band. the greatest politi-
cal gathering ever witnessed in Ster-
/ ling came 30 a close, and the vast audi
ence moved out of the park.

When Leopold Dolecheck left after
the dance at Mr.. Klug's, when he met
with his accident he felt very i'll. In
spite of this, however he assumed
&ork with the threSherS next morning.
The heat, hard work. illness and the
previous occurance all conspired to
unsettle his mind. His insanity is now
entirely confirmed. The younger Dole
check family members have been
exceedingly unfortunate since theiI
father left for Europe to visit, and the
mother to the eastern states for the
same purpose. They have the sym
pathy of the community all around.
The Ellinwood AdUocate describes al
accident to one of Mr. Dolescheck's son:
not quite correctly. Your news-mon

occasion. His sister was in the sam,

in question. The command Turn {,

weak, as if about to fall. Friend
rushed to his rescue and in a few
seconds the dance proceeded to a finish
| But, as to hun having turned insane
at the dance it must be denied. The

heat which prevailed on the occasion

For Tariff Reform.

Two years ago, when democratic
speakers and editors urged the import
ance of revision and reduction of the
tariff the republican politicians were
pleased to call them English free trad
erS and asserted that if this theory was
carried into practice it would result in
great injury to the masses of the people
and particularly to the farmers of the
west. But many of these same politi-
clans are now becoming tariff reformers
with vengeance; indeed they may
more properly be called absolute free
traders. The Atchison Champion, one
of the oldest and most influential repub.
hcan papers of the state, in late issue
says:
1.-THE western farmer has no interest
whatever in a protective tariff. His
interest rather lies i'm the direction of
free trade-of access to all markets
whatever his produtcS may be in
demand. 1t is for his interest to sell
what he raises wherever in all the wide
world he can find purchaser, and thus
provide himself with the means of dis
posing of his surplus crops. Not only
is he vitally interested in securing all
possible markets but equally SO i'm
buying what he needs as cheaply as
possible. Sell where he may and buy
at the lowest figures, this, selfish as it
may seem, is what most concerns the
western farmer.
Free trade will give tlIe west the
markets of the world and an opportu-
nifty to buy what it requires at less than
half it now pays for these same articles,
Lumber. hardware, furniture, cloth
ing, groceries and agricultural imple-
ments, these the west needs principally.
Free trade will bring these things to us
at figures far below protective prices
lin all this the Champion speaks solely
from the standpoint of self interest.
1t is with states and sections as with
individual citizens, self preservation is
the first obligation "a due regard to
our sectional preservation, our territor-
ial interest, demands the adoption of
free trade commercial reciprocity with
all nations.
1.-The east, ds we have stated, has
grown dangerously rich by means of
protective tariff; now let the west
assert itself and use the means at its
command TO change the economic poiicy
| to one more conducive to sectional
welfare.
This question is broader than party
lines. it is more vital than mere formal
political organizations and more
essential than the dominance of any
particular set of politicians: for ii
touches our life and is indissolubly
interviewer with our existence
Protection continued twenty years
longer and the west, with its vast
agricultural possibilities, would be q
pauper bound hand and foot Let us
| who live he1e in the west be fooled nc
longer, but let US exercise our common
sense and protect our own interests by
obtaining just IS quickly as possible
the freest trade with all the attendant
! benefits
