THE TYRANNY OE KONOPOLY.

The methods by which the Standard
Oil company has absolutely monopO-
lized the entire oil product OF the
country, are being rapidly applied TO
every other American industry. These
methods consist Of a system Of freight
rebates and the destruction OF compe-
titiOn by placing Standard oil in
every local market where competition
exists, at prices below the cost Of pro-
duction until competitors are forced
from che field. The milling interest is
now being monopolized by this meth
cd. We know Of a miller near this
place who is not in the combination
that has received a telegram within
week past that he must unite with IL
or that his business will be ruined.
What no will do we are not at This

CONSISTENCY.

Our republican friends are seriously
exercised because OF the failure Of the
peoples convention TO incorporate a
plank in its platform in favor Of pro-
hibition, and they are lamenting the
disastrous sacrifice Of votes in conse-
quence OF this neglect. We would
remind them kindly that a platform
is not quite all there is OF a party.
The republican platform Of 1888, we
believe, had that kind Of plank. The
present chief executive of the great
state of Kansas was elected on that
platform. Not long ago a man was
arrested in the city Of Lawrence for
the violation Of our prohibitory law.
On the day Of his trial this same gov
ernOr sat in his Office till long past
the dinner hour with his ear 10 the
wire awaiting the passage Of sentence
upon that violator Of the law, in or
der that he might be very prompt IN
signing a pardon, and yet not get the
pardon dated in advance of the sem
teRce.
This is a good example Of recent
republican consistency. The party
has demonstrated it's ability to make
platforms to suit any emergency, but
the demonstration of It's ability 10
carry out the principles Of those plat
forms, we regret to say, is not equally
conclusive. The people have had o
surfeit of platforms, and they find
that this is about all they ever do get
from the old parties.
We would also remind our friends
that we also neglected to adopt a
plank in opposition to African slavery
or the doctrine of state rights, Had
they observed these omissionsH

RANDON uB AND MALICIOUS VALsI-
FIERg.

The Kansas City Journals CORES
pOndent at Topeka displays his accus-
toned lack Of knowledge concerning
affairs by saying;
j. Y. Willis has been twice a member OF the
house Of representatives as a republican, his last
term being about isO8. He was instructed for
Caldwell for senator; within two weeks aiter his
arrival In Topeka ho changed convictions and
voted for tho other man.
AS a matter OF documentary history
il would appear that John +. Willis
was first elected as a representative
in 1870, and "his last term" was in
the session of 1873. As a matter Of
TACT, on January "a, 1871, he was one
Of thirty who voted ''ior Caldwell for
Senator" and, in joint convention, on
the following day, he did not vote
''for the other man." but again voted
for Caldwell, who had II votes IN the
house and l6 in the senate, and who
obtained So more votes than did 'the
other man"-Samuel j. Crawford.
Mr.. Crawford obtained "a votes on
JanuLry "a; on the 25th, he had 26
votes in the house and 8 in the sem
ate.
Mr. Willis was under no pledges
10 vote for any man for United States
Senator, and most anybody but a fool
in Kansas history would think that
nobody "was instructed for Caldwell
for Senator" for he was not even
thought Of Tor the place at the cleo
tion for members Of the Legislature in
November, 1870.
Mr.. Willis changed convictions
and voted for the other man"-Sam-
uel j. CrawfOrd!!l
rs 1t not possible for the Kansas
City Journal 10 obtain a correspond
ent who las a small knowledge of
history, and a slight regard for an
obligation TO tell little truth about
the peoples" candidate for governor
in Kansas3
Let this wOuld-be-journalist take
his proper place with his companion,
Ex-Governor Samuel j. Crawford, who, |
il hebut knew little more, might be
able to become the great Calumniator
OF the age.
Mr.. Willis is fortunate in not hav-
ing voted for Crawford for Senator.
THRICE FORTUNATE IN 1873.
IL is rumOred that another enter
prising republican has stated that
Mr.. Willis was bribed to support
John James Ingalls, for the Senate
when he was elected as Senator Pome-
rOy's successor by the Legislature in
1873.
This might be an illustration Of the
adage that "a falsehOod can travel a
thousand miles while Truth is put
ting on her boots"
Mr.Wlllits in 1873, voted for neither
PomerOy nor Ingalls,, but for David
P. Lowe both on the 28th and 20th of
january.
On January rs, Mr.Willits was one
Of thirteen representatives who voted
for Mr.. Lowe for United States Sena-
