He Must PAY.


A case of more than local interest
was tried in the district court in Great
Bend last week. 1t was a foreclosure
suit in which Osgood Plummer was
foreclosing on a mortgage on land
owned by DIR. A. Y. Mccormick, Of
this city. A defense was made on the
grounds that the money loaners and
capitalists were combined for the pur-
pose of controlling the volume of money
in circulation, and by making it i'm
possible for defendant, Mccormick, to
pay the debt because of scarcity of
money and depreciation of farm values.
Defendant moved for a continuance in
order to obtain evidence in the form of
an affidavit from one Greene. presi-
dent of the American Bankers Assecia-
ton, and argued that said Greene
would testify that 1.-The aforesaid associ-
alton was organized for the purpose of
controlling the volume of money in cir
culation; that it had agents all over the
country whose duty it is to keep the
association posted as to condition of
crops, stock. etc, in order tbat they,
the association, might increase or de-
crease the money in circulation" etc.
This argument, however. did not have
sufficient weight with Judge Bailey,
who overruled the motion and the case
went to the jury which returned yer-
dict for plaintiff.
Just why man who poses as a great
moral leader, who has thousands of
dollars worth of valuable property in
and around Great Bend, should thus
attempt to get out of paying just debt
when due, and by such insane argu-
ment fasten upon the party which he
represents stigma of attempted re-
pudiation, we cannot understand. We
have asserted all the time, in defense
of the members of the peoples party,
that they as class were not ''repudi-
ators,' not men who wanted to get out
Of paying the debts they contracted;
and we still believe that the defendant
| in the case above mentioned does not
represent the honest and sincere ele-
ment in that party. The idea that the
eastern money loaners have made a
combination for the purpose of making
DR.. Mccormick give up one OF his many
quarter sections of land for the liquida-
| ton of a debt he voluntarily assumed
and doubtless anxiously sought to con-
tract. is simply preposterous. just
such leadership in the third party
movement will. if not relegated to the
rear, ruin all the good that might be
done by an independent movement of
the farmers of the land.
Our comments on this case are not
for the purpose of opening a personal
fight upon the defendent: but are actu-
ated only by sense of Justice between
man and man, and a sense of pride in
the people of Barton county generally
whom We believe do not endorse the
methods indicated by the defense in
the suit in question

A Prompt Answer.

The Register OF March 10Th contain
ed the following questions addressed to
Hon. NJ W. Cobun:
We would be pleased TO know what
the senate had to do with Mr.. Cobun' s
protest that he filed against the apprO-
priation of $50 900 for the Worlds Fair
exhibit? Why did not the house pass
the senate bill for redemption of land
sold under foreclosure of mortgage?
Did the senate impose cost of
SIS, 500 to commence impeachment
proceedings to enable a refOrmer like
Sam Wood to vent his personal spleen
against personal enemy?"
In the issue of the same paper, of
last week, we find the following reply
from Mr.. Cobun:
Editor Register.
DEAR SIR take pleasure in
answering the questions you ask in this
weeks issue Of your paper. You say if
they are promptly answered you have
still others you wish to PROFOUND. All
right, friend Caraway. Will be pleased
to answer any and all questions so far
as I am able, and it may make some
interesting reading for the people.
1St. The senate stubbOrnly refused
to pass the house bills which were in
tended to give relief to the oppressed
and tax ridden people. measures too,
that the republican party stood pledged
to, in their platforms. The senate s
refusal to heed the just and reasonable
demands of the people, is my reason
for refusing to vote any more burdens
upon them.
End. The senate's substitute for the
house bill, for the redemption of land
sold under foreclosure of mortgage, was
an insult to any sensible, loyal people;
it was not worth the paper it was
written on; square slap in the face by
| that aristocratic house of lords.
3rd. The BOtkin's impeachment
was not gotten up by Sam Wood, or in
any way for his benefit. The charges
were brought and pressed upon the
house by republicans, one of them
chairman of the republican central
committee of one Of the counties COM
posing the judicial district of which
Botkin had charge. The house passed
bill abolishing his district, which was
lnquestionably the right thing to do
and would have saved the expense you
republicans are so badly hurt over, but
the senate refused to pass it; let the
people draw their own conclusions
The evidence taken by the investiga-
tion committee was clear and cOnclu.
sive. and until it is made pubic. please
suspend judgment. Next.
Respectfully.

Ingalls,, the Acrobat.

According to recent interviews with
that distinguished gentleman it seems
that Ex-senator Ingalls, has Topped
from his former radical views regard
ing the alliance and the south and now
espouses the alliance party. 1t may be
that he has Seen misrepresented but 1t
seems from his recent utterances that
he has lost his Old-time consistency and
forgotten the hand that has given him
honor and position through these many
years. Hoisington Dispatch.
CONE out candidly, now, Ira, and
acknowledge that all we have said
about Ingalls, and his favorite methods,
for 10! these many months, was correct.
Own up now that he is demagogue, a
scheming. unscrupulous, soulless, but
withal intelligent partisan; man
whom the republican leaders and man.
ipulators loved solely because of his
wonderful republican attributes of
character as above enumerted. Just
as well come out now and acknowledge
the corn, as it won't be many months
until your party will be as bitter
against Ingalls, as it is against Sam
Wood, or various others of the old re-
publican tricksters who have deserted
the G. o. p. when they saw its impend-
ing doom.
A revolution in politics is now under
way, Ira, and the acrobatic contortions,
the great tumbling and leaping of dem
agogues of the ingalls, stripe will be
extremely amusing and satisfactory to
all men who believe in honest methods
and just practices in politics just the
same as in anything else.
AS leader of his party you have
time and and again set ingalls, up as a
glowing example worthy the emulation
of all good republicans, therefore when
you charge him with inconsistency, in
gratitude, and all that, you virtually
say: behold the corruptness of our
great leader!'
