Col. Stotler, in his Wellington Press,
says that congress has but to pass three
measures to insure good times in Kan
sas in sixty days. These are: The
service pension bill, the free coinage
act and bill to stop gambling in farm
products. The colonel, who has firm
hold on the public teat as president of
the state board of charities, could not
be expected to mention the real relief
that the people need. We will mention
it for him: A reduction in the outra-
geous rObber tariff. The republicans of
Kansas will not admit it, but that is the
real something wrong" that has made
farmers alliances necessary. The peo-
pie of Kansas are not all old soldiers and
consequently they would not all get
pensions; they have no silver to coin
and hence free coinage act would not
help them IN sixty days; they are not all
farmers and so the other measure would
not help everybody. But everybody
has to eat, wear clothes, build houses.
buy coal, lumber, wire, hardware, boots,
shoes, hats, blankets, etc. So every
body is interested in the tariff. Reduce
the protective tariff to the actual de-
mands of the government and there will
be no money tied up in a surplus the
purchasing power of dollar will be in
creased at least % per cent. and the peo-
pie will be just that much better off for
they have to expend nearly everything
they make for the necessities of life.
When the tariff has been adjusted then
the finance question should come up.

Last fall, at the election, the Medi-
cine Lodge temperance league support
ed the republican candidate for sheriff
in the belief and with the understand
ing that he would assist in closing the
saloons and joints. The year before
they supported the republican candl-
date for county attorney because he
promised to enforce the prohibltory law
1t is not in bad form, then, at this time,
to call the attention of the league to the
fact that the republican officials of Bar
Der county-and all the county officials
are republicans with the exception of
one commissioner-are suppressing the
traffic in inUoxicants in much the same
manner that the aged lady in Arkansas
kept tavern. 1t may be proper to state,
in justice to the sheriff and county at
torney, both prohibition republicans.
understand, that they were supported
by the whisky sellers ant their bench
men with the understanding that the
said officers were not to enforce the law.

1t is said that there exists in this
state secret oath-bOund organization
among the negroes of Kansas, started
in Graham county year ago, known as
the First Grand Independent Brother
hood. The members have declared pO-
litical war on the whites and demand
equality in everything. One of their
plans is to fill Oklahoma with negroes
and capture the state and local govern
ment. The movement to induce negroes
to leave the southern states and go to
Oklahoma is said to have originated
with the Brotherhood. E. z. McCabe,
of Kansas, formerly STATE auditor, is
the choice OF the new organization for
governor of Oklahoma.

SENATOR INGALLS,.

We do not know whether the farmers
alliances of Kansas have yet considered
any questions political or not; but there
is a general understanding that the
first thing they will do, when they get
to considering men, and their claims on
the offices, will be to protest against the
reelection of Senator ingalls,, who has
never been known to do anything for
his state, but has DEVOTED his energies
to systematic abuse of the south, its
institutions and people. An eastern
paper has sized him up correctly in the
following: HE is glib talker, and if
he had talked in the interests of Kan
sas and the west, as he has against the
south, Kansas farmers might not now
be burning their corn. But it is because
talk against the southern states is so
very cheap that he has done nothing
but rant since he has been in the SEN
ate. Doubtless his action in this re-
spect, and his inaction in all others, has
seemed to him the height of shrewdness.
II offended none of his railroad mana
gers nor of the Wall street, Boston and
Fall River corporations, VINO hold Kan
sas under mortgage. And, as it did
not, he believed that it would be &C
cepted In Kansas as the full measure of
the usefulness of a Kansas senator. 1t
seems he is mistaken. There are farm
ers in Kansas still unconvinced that
they have been at all helped by twenty
Eve years. virulent abuse of the power
ty-stricken farmers of the south. They
have been looking into the ingalls, rec
ord, and they find that it is barren of
everything except Bloody Shirt rant.
He has done nothing for Kansas or for
the west, in the senate. During his en-
tire career he has not made single
stand for bis state or his section. The
closest search OF his speeches will not
show line against the plans of the
eastern corporations which are bleed
ing Kansas farmers to death. He may
represent ''the Brahmip caste of New
England" as he once declared, but he
has not represented Kansas, and it win
be curious indeed if Kansas keeps him
IN the senate"

Here is something for the reformers
to study over: The estimate made by
Congressman Peters is that there must
be deficiency appropriation made by
the present congress for $442, OOO, 900.
But Washington correspondent says
the figures of Mr.. Peters are too small.
and that the real deficiency will be much
larger. He says that without taking
the Blair or the direct tax bill or the
river and harbor bill into account, these
bills if passed would make the record of
the year stand about this way: Esti-
mate of Mr.. Peters, S442 ,OOO. 900; prison
pension bill, S11 SOC, 900; arrears of pen
siOns, S471 900, 900; service pension bill,
Sl44 ,0OO,O 900; dependent pension bill,
$35, 67S 500; DOlph's fortification bill,
say $5O,OO0,OOO; total, $3.50, 17S, 900.
Estimated revenue, $3.50, 4l4,OOO; evil

HazeItOn Happenings.

DR.. Stout, from the Lodge, was here
one day this week In the interest of the
alliance. IS. S. Robinson spent two or
three days this week at Wellington. He
reports business dull up there. 1t cost
j. G; Anderson about $35 to run off a
mOrtgaged team to the promised land
From what we can learn the ALI
ance was not so successful on their ship
ment of coal, the cold weather causing
slight shrinkage. E. i. Attorney Lahey,
of the Lodge, was in Hazelton, Friday.
on legal business. &. The alliance at
their last meeting decided to change the
time of meeting from Wednesday night
tOiSaturdays at o'clock, p. M :. A good
republican farmer sold load of corn
fifty bushels-the other day for IL cents
per bushel. He paid $3.50 of the money
for pair of boots, 81 90 for sugar and
50 cents for his boy a cheap wool hat.
After he got through with his load of
corn he found he had So AZ in goods and
and $2.5S in protection. It had taken
2l3 bushels Of his fifty bushels of corn
to satisfy the legal demands of republl-
can legislation. We don't think that
particular republican will shout protec-
ton and home market as he formerly
did. j. w. Harrington and Cyrus
Butler expect to start next week for
Lake Charles, Florida, to look upa bus
mess location. They will probably be
absent five or six weeks. f. S. Smith
purchased the property formerly owned
by R. B. Magee. E. The alliance took in
several ladies Saturday. . Rev. Tho
burn, of Winfield. preached in the Nj.
E. church Sunday at IL O'Clock and gave

This year Barber county will raise
sorghum cane and sugar beets for the
largest and best sugar mill in Kansas :;
castor beans for the largest oil and lead
plant in the world; cotton for the gin To-
Gated at Medicine Lodge; flax for the
general market: corn, wheat and oats

head of cattle; and it will turn out plas-
ter-of-paris, cement, dental plaster and
Other products of gypsum, at the rate
of co. 900 pounds day. This will be a
good showing of diversified agriculture
and manufacturing. Now is a good
time to buy Barber county property.

The Wellington street cars and mules

The Wellington street cars and mules
we're sold, the other day, for 81 100.
One by one the street car lines, electric
light plants and waterworks systems,
built before they were needed, in Kan
sas towns, are being sold out to satisfy
the bOndholders. The daily papers,
started about the same time, and under
similar circumstances, all died last
year, or before that time. The town
that was satisfied to move along at an
ordinary gait, is the town that is in
good shape to day. During the ''boom"
Of 'S5, 'S6 and 'S7, Medicine Lodge al
ways denied that it had or that it want
ed such an expensive equipment, and
now we have nothing that demands the
appointment of receiver, or that is
likely to be sold TO satisfy bondholders.
And yet we have waterworks, sugar
works, cement works, good public build
ings, graded streets. prosperous mer-
chants, and everything,that small city
needs. No, we do not want any boom,
thank you.

Governor Boies, the new democratic
executive of Iowa. is a coming man.
Not known outside of his state until
six months ago, he made wonderful
canvass, and defeated his republican
opponent on the tariff issue, fairly and
squarely. He was inaugurated last
week, after the legislature had squan-
dered two months of time in the at
tempt to organize, and his inaugural
address attracted national attention.
Already there are suggestions that
he would be agOOd man on the national
ticket in 1892. 1t is possible that it may
be CLEVELAND and Campbell, OF Cleve-
land and Boies. No combination will
be complete, however, without Cleye-
land

Taxes are the sums Of money which

we pay for the privilege of seeing a
small and select number of our es-
teemed fellow citizens grow unnaturally
rich at the expense of the rest the
price we pay for the blessing Of having

mated against in the interest of Penn

The metal products of the United
States, in 1889, as shown by recent
trade review, is worth study. The
industries Of this world are something
never dreamed OF by the ancients, and
it is question if one person in thous-
and can realize the magnitude Of the
metal products. In the matter Of pig
iron there was produced 7,6O4, 525 tons,
the price ranging from SIT to So per
ton. OF copper there was produced
10000 tons, and Montana gets credit
for $1,000 tons of this amount. 1t is
worth 139 cents pound. Lead produ-
ced, 10000 tons, Colorado furnishing
10000 tons; average price. 3 $40 cents;
zinc, $1,000 tons. Gold, 33 million dol
