DASTARDLY MEAN.

There is Democratic official in this
county and one that could not have been
elected to such position but for Republi-
can votes, who has ever since his cleo
ton, been resorting TO the meaneSt and
most contemplate political methods ever
employed by any official, of any party.
ever holding office in the county. The
last act of this adventurer was the post
ing of a copy of Judgment rendered
against Col. j. r. Hallowell at the time
of the failure of his creamery company,
at Columbus, which judgment was in fa-
vor. it seems, of an industrious and
faithful boy. As soon as possible, and
notwithstanding he had nothing
left out of the wreck with
which to pay, Hallowell borrowed
the money at II per cent interest
and paid the boy in full. Not only that.
but he secured the boy lucrative posi-
ton and afterwards paid the borrowed
money back, for all of which he has the
papers TO show. How many men there
are in the state of Kansas who have hon
est judgments standing against them
which they are unable 20 pay we would
not pretend TO guess, but we know, as
does everybody else, that while iudg-
ments may be a misfortune they do not
involve, necessarily, dishonesty or dis
honor. Hallowell has made fair. open.
manly fight. 1t is not in the man to
make any other kind. The Judgment"
so posted against him is not only a
sneaking lie and an outrage, but con-
temptible, and there is but one man
mean enough in all the country to have
resorted TO such subterfuge, knowing
at the time that the Judgment had been
satisfied long ago, and at a great sacri-
fee, too, by Col. Hallowell.

An exchange emphasizes the folly and
inconsistency Of the Alliance in disre-
garding its original designs and obliga-
tons and taking partisan action in the
politics of the times, in this very pointed
way:
No secret oath-bound society can be
made political organization and succeed.
Were either the Masons or Odd Fellows,
two of the most substantial secret societies
organized in the civilized world, to take
part in politics and attempt to dictate
whom their members should or should
not vote for, the members would rebel and
the organization would be dashed to pieces
upon the rocks of discord and discomfort.
The politicians who are making the ALI
ance a political party instead of social
organization, and are attempting TO rule it
for their own gain, will only succeed i'll
bringing about its ruin.

In his speech at Pittsburg on Saturday
John Sherman made a special point of
the fact that patronage is an element of
weakness instead Of strength to politi-
cal party. eff l had the power" he said,
81 would not allow member of con-
gress to recommend any man for any
office whatever. 1t weakens the member
of the house and the senator, and it
makes a cause for constant trouble and
quarrel" The Kansas City Star says:
Mr.. Sherman hopes to see the time when
a law will be passed separating entirely
the appointing power fir m the law-mak-
ing power. That is understood to be the
original design of the civil service law
and commission created thereby, but it
has proven inadequate, or at least has
failed from some cause. The change
suggested by Mr.. Sherman would I'M
questionably afford great relief to sem
ators and congressman.

THB TREND OF INVESTMENTS.
From the Financier.

From the Financier.
The rush for industrial stock still con-
tinueS, and as a result the Exchange is
rather neglected. When listed stocks
are so variable and uncertain as is and
has been the case for several weeks. there
is little inducement for capitalists to
place money in that direction. On the
other hand, chances for investment in
other ways are daily coming more prom
inently before the public, and as these
investments are far safer and surer al
present than listed stocks, they are being
largely appropriated.
While general business is unusually
good, there is still a more urgent demand
for time money than can be supplied
But the winter is fast approaching and
it is about time for relief to arrive from
the South and West. When this relief
comes and time money is freely offered.
the demand for securities will increase
heavily. Conservatism Is the only
safe course TO pursue. for the
present, in speculative fields. When
time money becomes accessi-
bic, trade investments will probably lose
much of their popularity, and capital
will return to the destinations Of speCula-
ton. \ prominent financier has ex-
pressed the opinion that if we escape Sc
rious financial difficulty this year, we
will suffer a panic two years hence
which viii be the more severe because so
long delayed. This opinion. however,
was based merely upon the fact that
panics in the past have followed each
other at intervals of from fifteen to sew
enteen years. Ii is the general opinion,
as we have gathered, that the worst is
over for this year, and it is hardly worth
while TO dread an imaginary panic in the
future. Yet, possibly the dread OF a
panic Is the surest way Of escaping one.
If panic Is looked forward 10, the sec
rotary of the treasury can do much 10
prevent it. 1t is the unexpected which
does the most harm. Great OppOrtuni-
es exist in the present condition Of
things for him who can judge rightly.

The Iowa judges, state and federal,
disagree with the decision of the Kansas
federal court upon the inefficiency of the
state prohibitory laws, the former hold
ing the state laws to be valid until the
United States supreme court shall decide
otherwise. As the supreme court will
not pass upon the question before the
Christmas holidays, the state legislature
can cure the defects, and no doubt will,
before the higher courts shall undertake
to do so. When the court takes up this
question again, it is hoped it will be able
to pass upon it in such way as TO effect
ually settle it. so that it will cease to be
disturbing question.

HUTCHINSON FOR HALLowELL

Hutchinson News: A few of the Simp-
son henchmen were today trying to work
up local feeling against Col. Hallowell
because he live in Wichita. This is a
great crime to be sure, but not half SO
great as voting for a man to go to con-
gress who is no more fit for it than Jerry
Simpson.
Because Congressman Hallowell will
live at Wichita is no reason that he
won't be fair with Hutchinson. Then
again, in addition to being fair, he is
able to do something besides making a
laughing stock of himself.
Colonel Hallowel will get every Re-
publican vote in Hutchinson and also
many Democrats who were Disguised
with Simpson and the trickery with
which he was forced on the Democratic
ticket.

In his great speech in Ohio last week
Mr.. Blaine very pertinently declared
that this is not a contest between Repub-
licans and Democrats so much as be-
tween principles Of protection and free
trade. In proof of this, if any were
needed, it was only necessary to call at
tention TO the fact that many Republi-
cans are not in hearty sympathy with
the doctrine of protection, while many
Democrats are. The two parties repre-
sent, respectively, the principles as
enunciated, but party lines will not be
rigidly drawn on the econ mic questions
in the national election; that is, for con-
greSSmen.

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt
publishes an article in a Wisconsin paper
ouching the compulsory education law
and the opposition that is made to it,
which closes thus: THE man who re-
mains a foreigner commits a crime
against the country which he has sought
of his own free will, and which he ought
not to have sought at all unless prepared
to do his full and complete duty as one
of its citizens" And yet in that state in
the present campaign the Democratic
party are by their course encouraging
the foreign element to withhold their al
legiance to this country which they have
adopted as their home and where they
expect to reside.

What has become of the ''clodhopper''
in Kansas.
Bernard Kelley was in the Waukarusa
wreck. Whisky did it.
If Mrs. Lease lived in Russia, she
wouldn't live in Russia She'd be in
Siberia.
Nobody has yet referred to Judge Eos
ter's original package decision as a
"corker."
The worst thing Cliff Baker can discover
against Jake Stotler is that he eats butter
on his cake.
Senator Ingalls, says he is tired-probab-
ly to give the opposition papers a chance
at a repartee.
For scenic effects, Kansas will agree that
Said ingalls," will lay it over said

A fall in Kansas is said to be one of the
most beautiful sights on earth-keep your
eye on Jerry Simpson next Tuesday.
A Topeka reporter caught Willis hum
ming: do you love me sister Ruth?" TO
himself in hotel corridor the other day.
The very, very latest from the other side
is that Harrison Kelley voted against the
Mckinley bill to capture Democratic votes.
The ninety-day legislative amendment
would be great deal more satisfactory if
the people could see the legislature before
they cast their votes.
st. Johns part in this campaign in Kan
sas amounts to about the same as the
memory of Methusaleh does in COM

1t has been suggested that any unbiased
list of ten great living men of these United
States could not be made without includ-
ing Senators Ingalls, and Plumb.
To the Punishment of further contro-
versy on that subject, it has been shown
that if Father Baker did possess the To-
peka Capital, he wouldn't own it.
The small registration at Emporia
should be apologized for by the explana-
ton that the Fifth avenue and Sixth

An Atchison man has solemnly predict

'Ingalls doesn't amount to anything"
The corn crop is the smallest since 1887,
the wheat crop the smallest since 1885, the
oat crop the smallest since 1882 and the
crop of political candidates unprecedented.
There seems to be J. r. Burton in Yer
mont. A legislator there has introduced
a bill for the punishment and suppression
of the persons who caricature politicians.
How many people year from today
will be able TO name all the candidates
running at present. The immigration to
oblivion in Kansas doesn't need booming.
Attorney General Kellogg has left the
state right in the hottest spot of the cam

A FRIEND OF THE FARMER.

1t is fair proposition, we take it, that
performance is better than promise, and
one, at the same time, as acceptable to
the Alliance people, as to Republicans or
Democrats. Whatever of promises the
Alliance platform and the Alliance can
didates in the Eighty-third district may
have made, or be making, touching the
desires of the Alliance people in the di-
rection of legislation, it is very certain
bic as the record made by E. w. Phillips
as their representative in the last legis-
lature. We hope the farmers of the
Eighty-third representative district of
Sedgwick county will not urge this, or
if not knowing it, that they will immedi-
ately look up Mr., Phillips record. Every
vote he cast during the sitting of the
last Legislature on every measure in
volving the interest of the farmer in the
remotest drgree was cast for the farmer.
He was recognized as one of the most
incorrigible enemies of trusts on the floor
and as for corporations of every charac-
ter they let Ed Phillips alone. The
Farmers Alliance might rake Sedgwick
county over and they could not find a
better friend, more reliable representa-
tive of their interests than Ed Phillips,
himself a farmer, is and has proved him
self to lie. This truth added to that of
the value of his experience, and there
can be no doubt as how the farmers of
the Eighty-third district should vote.

The question as to whether the Indian
is capable of being educated is answered
in the affirmative by the results at the
Indian schools in Pennsylvania, Neb-
raska, Colorado, Kansas and the Indian
territory. / tcosts the government 81
100000 a year to support its wards, and
this year S2,0OO,00O was appropriated
for educational purposes. The number
of Indian pupils last year was 1900.

portance of educating the Indians-they
