THE RENOWNED JUDGE JOHNSON.

THE. RENOWNED JUDGE JOHNSON.
This is the way the Shawnee county
Republican convention puts a candi-
date for circuit Judge before the peo-
pie. He must be "non-psrtisan" you
know, and hence it would not do to
nominate him like other candidates.
WHEREAS, The Legislature at it's last session
created the circuit court Of Shawnee county and
the governor appointed Hon. j. B. Johnson
Judge Of said court, and
WHEREAS, The Office OF circuit Judge Is to be
filed by election In November Of this year, and
Judge johnson Is candidate for said office,
and
WHEREAS, Judge johnson has employed and
enforced admirable methods In the transaction
Of the business of said county whereby such busl-
ness has been dispatched with promptneSs and
economy, and thousands OF dollars have been
thereby saved to the county, and at the same
time all persons having an interest In the buSi-
ness Of the court have been treated with due
courtesy and fairness, and the dignity and
efficiency Of the court properly preserved, and
we believe that the administration Of Judge
johnson has been wlSe honest and just, and en-
tirely satisfactory 10 the people, without regard
to party; therefore,
RcsOlued, That we heartily indorse the candl-
dacy Of Judge johnson for judge Of the circuit
court for Shawnee county, and we cordially
recommend him to all the people Of the county,
regardless Of political faith or party relations,
and we ask for him the unanimous support Of
all the people Of the county, and we direct that
his name as candidate for circuit judge be printed
upon the ticket to be nominated by this cOnVen-
ton,
The advocate., 1891-09-09

Our Republican friends are weep
ing many bitter and salty tears on
account OF the discredit to Kansas
consequent upon the character OF
men elected to Office by the Alliance.
Well, if we have elected any who are
more discreditable than some that the
Republican party has on its hands
may the good Lord forgive us. Take
Humphrey, Higgins and Botkin as
samples. Heaven help us if we have
any like them.

and the various labor organizations
under whose management the day
was celebrated upon the success
which attended their efforts, and to
hope that the experience Of this occa-
sion may enable us all to secure a
still more successful and satisfactory
celebration of the day next year. If
any mistakes have been made they
may be corrected, and labor day may
become an important factor in eatab-
fishing an era of better understand
ing and better feeling between all the
various trades and professions.
The advocate., 1891-09-09

ONE Of the favorite illusions Of the
plutoCratic press to the members of
the Alliance and the Peoples party
is to designate them as repudiators
This is a very easy declaration for a
conscienceless demsgogue to make,
but we challenge any one Of their
number to produce a single line or
syllable from any platform, resolu-
tion, proposed act of the Legislature
or any other source for which these
people s.are responsible, that justifies
the base insinuation. IL is as false as
the nature Of those who make it is
depraved.
The advocate., 1891-09-09
THE PENSION QUESTION.

The GoUe County Echo of the 28th
of August, speaking of the recent in
crease of pension lists in Kansas,
says:
From all the Alliance papers we have read and
all the speeches we have heard from their speak
ers, we are led to believe that the majority Of
the Alliance are opposed to granting pensions,
therefore, old soldier, be careful who you thank
and be sure your thanks go where they are due.
We challenge the Echo to produce
a single sentence, line or syllable
from any Alliance paper in existence,
on the pension question, that does not
favor a more liberal policy toward the
soldier than has ever been advocated
or practiced by any party. Come to
time or acknowledge that you are
wrong.
The advocate., 1891-09-09
THE SUB-TREASURY PLAN AND THE LAND
AND LOAN SYSTEM,

This is the title of pamphlet Of
ninety-seven pages by S. M. Scott,
assistant state lecturer Of the Kansas
State Alliance. 1t supplies a long
felt want. The great interest at pres
ent conferred upon this subject rem
ders everything said in good faith for
or against it of great interest, and
Mr.. Scott has presented the subject
in an attractive and forcible style.
Everyone should read it. The price
is, single copies, 25 cents; rs per cent.
discount by the dozen; larger dis
counts to county, state and national
committees. Address all orders to j.
B. French, state secretary, Topeka
Kan.
The advocate., 1891-09-09

Mr.. M. E. MATTHEWS, of the Tope-
ks bar, who was chairman for five
years of the Democratic central COM
mittee of the city of Topeka has
come out in support of the Peoples
party. Mr.. Matthew'S accession to
our ranks is a valuable gain. He
will, we understand, organize clubs
of former Democrats in support Of
our ticket.

MONEY ISSUED ON LAND.

walt until the government foreclOses. What
party win ever risk destruction and popular
hatred by pushing that remedy.
What party or what person ever
advocated any such scheme? The
Capital is either pitiably ignorant or
maliciously mendacious, and in either
case it is Enthusiastically and per-
nicious in its influence. ALI bonds
and legal tender paper money OF the
United States are based upon the
credit of the government; and that
credit rests upon the faith of the peo-
pie in its stability and upon the sg-
gregate wealth of the country. No
person of any party ever proposed
the issue of paper money based upon
mortgage of private property; and
the stupid Capital ought to know
this whether it does or not. What
the Peoples party does propose, is
that the government shall issue all
the money that is issued, whether
gold, silver or paper-that this money
shall be made alike a legal tender of
whatever material it may be COM
posed that it be issued in sufficient
amount to facilitate our vast CONNER
cial transactions, and that it be loaned
at a reasonable rate of interest upon
real estate and other unquestionable
securities. Every dollar of this money
would rest upon the same security as
every dollar now in circulation-the
wealth and credit of the government.
Why does the Capital seek to de-
ceive it's readers upon this subject?
Is it because it's position is untenable
when the question is fairly and truth
fully presented?
We hold that if the credit of the
government is sufficient for an In
terest bearing bond, it is sufficient for
q non-interest bearing treasury note,
and who can dispute it? The security
Of both is the same in every particu-
lar.
But we imagine we hear the OBJ
lection that the value of the bonds is
in the promise to pay them IN gold.
Was this the case when the bonds
were issued? Every one kno,Cs it
was not. When the government
bonds were issued they were, by the
act which authorized them, made pay
able in lawful money Of the United
States; and lawful money of the
United States at that time consisted
of gold, silver and treasury notes.
Up to 1869 those bonds were payable
in greenbacks; so that both the bonds
and the money in which they might
be paid rested solely upon the credit
of the government, and yet they were
never considered questionable Sc
curity. It required the SO called
"Credit Strengthening Act" of 1869

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS:

STOCKS.

Friday, May s-p. m.
Uncertainty about the European situation
seeAed to be the controlling influence in the STOCK
market to-day. Rates of exchange were reduceu
and in spite of the fact large shipments Oh goIu
were made 1t would be a reasonable conclusion
that the largest declines should be suffered py
stocks that are dealt in at London as well as New
York. Curiously St. Paul was conspicuousy
strong, and other London favorites, Ike Lake
Shore and Louisville and Nashville, closed only
fraction lower The weakest stocks, in fact, were
Missouri Pacific and Rock Island which do not
cniov an international market. Northwest and
Burlington and Quincy, which are usually re-
earded as investment stocks, moved in sympathy
with Rock Island, and the declines In Atchisoh
and Union Pacific were not below the average
1t can hardly be possible that the eesults OF the
railway meeting are accepted with bad grace by
the Missouri Pacific Railway and the declines
must be attributed consequently to the uneasiness
that is clearly shown in the foreign markets.
There was less talk about the product
i've power Of the country and its aDlllty 10 supply
effete monarchies with all the gold they require,
The shipments have become so large that it
is even doubted whether all the gold Will be
returned in the fall, when the balance of trade
is expected to be In favor of this country. Inc
rnmors of serious disaster in Paris were without
foundation, however, and the failures IN Phim-
delphia were exaggerated The money market
was not disturbed by the developments mere OF
abroad, and although rates for call loans were
a little higher time money was offered without
change. 49,, ,- .,... A..
The resistance which the stock market dis
playcd may be considered absolute proof OF the
confidence of investors. The decline III prices
encouraged the short interest and there is no
doubt that the selling near the close was chiefly
bv the bear faction. In other words, Hie re-
action may he only healthy symptom in a sudden
from long duIness. The closing was
