If the Republican party in its men
and measures is not perfect, it is imper-
feet, and if imperfect, it has bad men
within it's ranks and is the author of
bad measures, and this is just what the
Peoples party claim and have set out to
right. j. j. ingalls, in his recent speech
at Pttsburg, says that ''the Republican
party never did anything that is wrong;
not on up to the present time" Ander-
son county Republicans virtually claim
the same after admitting that the men
and measures of the party are imper-
feet or the sum of the whole is that
''imperfect' men and measures are in
fallibly right, and by Ingalls, and the
convention indorsed. The platform is
in favor of free coinage of silver and in
favor of the re- election Of j. j. ingalls,,
who voted against free coinage. The
platform is in favor of service pension,
but that means nothing but simply as
usual, bid for the soldiers vote 1t
also favors prohibition rs principle,
but judging from its contradictions it is
the principle in the abstract.

Letter from McGinnis.

We frequently hear soldiers of the late
war say that they are going to vote as
they shot. This remark leads us to ask,
Did those soldiers shoot for principle, or
the Republican party? The question in
for the "siXties" was not, ''Are you
Democratic or Republican but, Are you
pro-slavery, or anti-slavery? If the SOL
ders fought for principle, then where
have the party leaders lea us! Imagin-
ary fame on one side, and poverty and
the poor house on the other.
The party leaders, with Alexis, the
great railroad mogul, at its head, had
charge of the band-wagOn, and carried
the township primaries; hut where were
the rank and file to support the work of
primaries controlled entirely by the
band-wagon? The conservative element
of the Republican party was not behind
to support them with their votes; hence,
when the county convention met TO nom
mate candidates for Office, the band
wagon element was not only willing. but
anxious, for the conservative element to
come TO the front, Did they? is the
question that Alexis is not quite sure of
i'm his own mind. There is one thing he
is sure o-'hat is, | e has c)ntfOl of the
city government of Garnett, and the
boodle from the sale of the bods. Nc
Fadden thinks he is mayor.

BEN WOULDN'T SHAKE HANDS
WITH A COLORED WOMAN.

At the reunion at Topeka, the other
day, when the people were crowding
forward to shake hands with the pres
ident, neat, well-dressed colored wo-
man held out her hand for shake of
the hand of the chief executive, who
drew back his paw and turned away
from the cOlored woman.
Some one who reads this will say,
90, that's just campaign lie," so we
will give our authority. Mr.. G. r.
Hoobler, an old soldier who lives near
Harris, this county, says he was stand
ing only few feet from the president,
and saw the act; that number of
others, whose names he can give, also
noticed the act, and condemned it at
the time. Mr.. Hoobler is an honest,
reliable man.
How Benjamin and his followers do
love the darkey!

County Republican Platform.
Many men of many minds {;
Many birds of many kinds.

Variety is the spice of life-and why
not of politics? The county Republican
platform is remarkable, not for length,
tor the state platform is the longest ever
inflicted OIL long-suffering people; nor
for wisdom, for it was framed by party
devotees, who usually do no thinking;
but it is remarkable for true confession.
Find the following in the preamble:
'The Re u ans of Anderson county
in convention assembled candidly admit
that perfection does not exist in the men
and measures of our party"
When we read the above, we supposed
that the Republican party in Anderson
was on the eve of great revival; that,
figurativeiy speaking, it was down OH irs
marrow-bones 10 tic people, whom it
had wronged with an irreparable wrong.
But not 50, for in the third paragraph
we read:

WELDA FARMER.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-10-20

ANY sensible man can plainly see tina
the original officers and purposes fol
which it is claimed that the f. M. b. A
and the Alliance were formed have now
been so perveted that these organizations
can be of no possible benefit to the
farmer. A farmers organization prop
erly conducted would be of great benefit
to al, but when such an organization is
simply used as tool by set of schem-
ing political Outcasts, renegades and
sOrelleads, to get themselves into office,
it is time all honest men should be on
the lookout, and not allow themselves to
be blindly led about by the nose.-Re-
publican Record.
should like to know what the Record
means by "properly conducted" but
presume it means that the Re-
publican party is properly conduct
ed if the F. M. B. AIS
will be led by the nose and blndly fol-
low the behests of the g. o. p leaders
and vote their party ticket to send the
same old scOundrels back to legislate in
the interest Of Wall strees and them
selves. l presume the Record would
Gail that properly conducted, to indorse
John j., the note shaver and copper
head who declared the war Il failure, the
blasphemer and scoffer at the christian
religion, and who is looking for another
Christ to come and make new revela-
ton. Oh yes, that's 'properly con-
Quoted" organization. The Record
says it's time that all honest men should
be on the lookout. Now that's just
what we are trying to do-to put good
honest men in Office; but just as soon as
the farmers came to that conclusion,
they are called revolutionists, soreheads,
cranks, scheming politicians, political
outcasts, renegadeS, ETC., by IA subsidized
press. Farmers, as long as you dance
to the tune of The Republican fiddle,
you are all right and ale conducting
yourselves prOperly''-but you must
not dare to think for yourself on polit-
ical questions. Oh, no, for you become
a revolutonist at once. Senator Plumb
tells you that the only effective remedy
you have to right your wrongs is the
ballot. Whose advice will take, Sena-
tor Plumb's or the Records and the
Plaindealer's. The Idea of the Repub-
lican party talking about honesty, after
the sentiments that John j. Ingalls, has
expressed, is too foolish to make good
nonsense. John j. says fraud will rob
the weak, and "it's lawful to deceive, f"
and i'm line with that doctrine he has
made $4l5,000 in II years as a note
shaver, charging you Is per cent. inter-
est when you were hard up; but it's
business, and "lawful to rob the weak :"
and it's his business as president of the
Kansas Trust and Savings Company
(saving for himselG and also interested
in the Lombard Investment Company,
an English institution, and several 9TH
er skinning factories. And now right
here, l want to call your attention to

SHORT DaaD STORIES,

Robin In Church.

A very small bird OF South Africa
is the Mahalf weaver, but it lives IN
= very large house shaped like an oil
flask, which it builds itself.
On the West Spanish Peak, Col
orado, Il. l.. Smith trapped hand
some golden eagle that measured
seven feet four inches from tip to tip.
The parrot has not the monopoly
of the power of talking among birds.
The mynah, species of startling, is
very initiative and says "good morn
ing very plainly in response to a
salutation.
Tho tailor bird makes its nest OF
long leaves which it sews together
with the fiber Of n plant, first piercing
the holes in them with its beak. The !
bottom Of the nest has a heavy layer
OF cotton.
A dudish bird that lines its nest
with the down of certain flowers is
the lanceolate honey eater. The nest
is shaped like a hammock suspended
from twigs and is very deep. The
ground work is of grass aad wool.
The sociable weavers will unite
together in building a matched roof
prior to nest building, the structure
sometimes being twelve feet square.
Under this a dozen or more nests will
be built, each pair Of birds building
its own, and each nest being shut out
from every other.
A tame crow belonging to Mrs.
HenriettA Mcpherson, OF Herkimsr,
New York, will whip any dog in tho
neighborhood, and amuses himself
jumping upon chair with a spool of
thread, picking the end loose, and
uawinding the spool in the face of
the cat. As the cat jumps for the
running spool the crow will laugh
like child.
A number Of spsrrows with a nest
over the doorway of the Mutt House
Charlottesville, Indiana, sat in judg.
ment over one Of the flock and de-
liberately hanged it. One end oil
g piece Of twine about foot long
was tied securely about the bird
neck and the other fastened to the
nest. The sparrow huttered at the
end OF the string for at least ter
minutes, the others picking and pull
ing at it continually until it died
