he rounded the curve, but the mule
never raised his head. Instead of trying
to stop more steam was put on, and next
moment that mule went twenty feet

nations. Nothing definite can be
said of it nor can qualifications for
membership be given, but there is..a
rapidly growing circle of young Re
publicans who are determined to
shove themselves to the front. They
expect to do it at the expense Of the
"old crowd" Those who have done
the voting in the old crowd are all
right and will be welcomed to the
new, but the fellows who have for
the past quarter Of "a century drafted
all the party platforms and dictated
the nominations will be asked to
step down and out to make room
for new blood.
Governor Humphreys second term
of Office has just begun but already
there are dozen candidates among
the old crowd who are presenting
their claims for the republican nom
nation. There is Major E. n. Nor
rill. Colonel Samuel Peters, Colonel
Timothy McCarty, the Hon. A. w.
Smith, A. P. Riddle, Senator H. B.
Kelley and Lieutenant Governor
Felt, who have been prominently
spoken Of, " for the last three months.
Senator Kelly stands on platform
all his own, but the remaining can
didates are of the stalwart variety,
who will insist upon fighting the
campaign on old issues which gave
Kansas Republican plurality of
$4,000.
The strongest Of the candidates
mentioned are Farmer Smith. Major
Morrill, and Tim. McCarty. Nor
rill's strength is in the Leland Schil-
ling Miller crowd, which has every
thing its own way in the First con-
gressional district. But this crowd
will find determined fight on its
hands when it comes to manipulating
state convention. 1t is more OBJ
noxious to the young crowd than
any other wing or faction in the
state. 1t has always fought to death
every man who opposed it. The
lamented Ira Collins is the latest
shining example.--K. C. Star.

AFTER THE L0AvEs AND FISHES.

The following circular has just
been sent out by Rightmire, the al
lance lawyer.
Topeka, Kan, April 80, 1891.
To the members Of the peoples par
ty within the Farmers alliance,
the K. Of L., the F. M. B. A., and
the Citizens industrial alliances:
Brothers: It gives me pleasure
to commend to your favorable con-
sideration the Hamilton Printing
company of 1926 Kansas avenue, To-
peka, Kansas, Of which our state
printer-elect has become a member,
to transact general printing, bind
ing and blank book business in To-
peka. 1t seems to me that Brother
Shows addition to the Hamilton
Printing company Of his member
ship makes this one Of our strongest
printing firms in the state. l say
'our" because every member Of the
company, and nearly all of the en-
ployes of the company Of the Citizens
National Industrial alliance and Of
the peoples party, and | will add my
guarantee that any order placed with
this company will be promptly at
tended to, and the work done in a
satisfactory manner and at reason
able prices.
Now as there is no register or re-
port kept by any of the officers elec-
ted in this state last fall, l, through
this circular letter, ask that in every
one of your organizations you,
through your respective townships,
your county officers, and be partic-
ular that you give me the politics Of
each one named, that | can complete
an official directory Of the state Of
Kansas by counties, for our use in
coming campaigns.
Hoping that each brother will feel
an interest in helping me to this in
formation, and that you will write
the same direct to me, | am, as ever,
yours in cause of equal justice to all,
F.W. RIGHTMIRE,
Your late Candidate for Chief JUS
tice. -Capital.

THE official route from Kansas
to Cincinnati for the peoples party
delegates has been decided upon, and
the alliance are prepared to pay
full rates over the Chicago & Alton
to st. Louis. W. F. Rightmire, Sec
rotary of the National Citizens In
dustrial Alliance, will send circulars
to the delegates elected in the
state, giving them instruction
and advice. The Kansas delegation
leaves Kansas City at s o'clock Sun
day morning, May II, and meets
the Iowa and Nebraska delegations
at st. Louis. Secretary Rightmire
announces that there will be reun-
ion Of all industrial organizations in
Cincinnati on the evening of May
is with a general assembly Of emer-
Cency of the National Citizens In
dustrial union at Dexter hall at 10
am. for the admission of members,
comforting Of secret work and trans
acting other business" He urges
upon the delegates that they do not
90 to Cincinnati with a determine
ton that any particular course must
be taken but to ''meet in accor-
dance with a call for conference
that we may unite all our industrial
organizations in one harmonious
ho5v nnon a common platform, fed
Grating upon the great issues OF
transportation, land and currency,
and leave it to the combined wisdom
Of our conference to take such steps
FOR the capmaign of 1892 as the con-
ference may deem fitting"
It is generally believed among the
alliance leaders here that the south
erners who oppose a third party or
ganization will not attend the COM
ference.

Mrs LEASE is advertised to speak
in Hays on May 18th. Members OF
the Alliance and Knights OF Labor
only admitted. Did you ever hear
of the republican or democratic par.
ties holding political gathering OF
that kind? When the old parties
hold political gatherings the doors
are thrown open to the world
and everybody is cordially invited.
There is something radically wrong
in this secresy. 1t is not American
and it is menance to our free lnstl-
buttons. Ridicule the idea as much
as you please but either our free in
stitutions or oath bound secret So
cieties must go. They are absolute
ly incompatible and both cannot ex-
list together for any length of time.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1891-05-09
CONSISTENCY THOU ART NOT !
JEWEL.


One of the planks of the citizens
alliance platform reads as follows;
"We demand such legislation as
will effectually prevent the organi-
zaion or maintenance Of trusts and
combines for purposes of speculation
in any Of the products Of labor or
necessities of life, or the transporta-
ton of the same.''
The republican party Of Kansas
by their legislature has already civ
en- us most stringent law against
trusts and combines of all kinds and
it is on our statute books and in
force to-day. It can't be made any
stronger. !
Again the citizens alliance which
is only an adjunct to the farmers
alliance, sort of tail to the doc
as it were, should remember that
McGrath and other alliance leaders
are now forming, or endeavoring to
form trust or corner on produce
the most gigantic in the history 81
our country. Surely consistency
has no part in their political deca-
lOgue.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1891-05-09
WHAT NEXT?

We have heretofore referred to
McGrath's gigantic combination to
corner the bread products of oul
country. Now We are informed that
after due deliberation and discussion
an Iowa presbytery has decided that
ministers should form a combine
ton or gospel trust, and thereby dis
courage young men from entering
into the ministry. as that sort Of
thing has q tendency to cut down
salaries. The trust has laid its iron
grasp on almost everything else and
now appears 70 be tying p xnn :
corner o. religion.

REPUBLICANS pretend they are
opposed to secret organizations in
politics, yet they have just held a
meeting of the National republican
League, an organization chat binds
its members with an iron clad oath
which obliges them to refuse to vote
for any one who is not a member OF
that order. Yet they howl about
the. terrible alliance men who are
fighting fire with fire.-Free Press.
There are seventy-fve members OF
the republican leaguein Trego coun-
ty and everyone knows that the
statement is untrue. 1t is not a
secret, oath bound party. All that
is necessary to become member is
to sign the constitution which any
body is permitted to read. All meet
ings are held with open doors and
all are admitted to the meetings Of
the club without regard to political
belief. The constitution forbids the
taking part as an organization, in
caucuses or primaries and the league
is forbidden to work in the interest
of any individual for nomination
to any Office. Its only purpose is to
advocate republican principles in a
general way and all its proceedings
are open to the inspection Of every
body. The alliance demand that the
oppositions treat them fairly. Would
it not be well to begin at home?
The Free Press is the official organ
of the alliance of Ellis county.

THEMS OUR SENTIMENTS.

The most feasible plan to raise
money for the Worlds fair would
be for the counties to give the
amount; then let the state reimburse
them when the next Legislature
meets.-Salina Republican.
Correct. It will never be raised
by private subscription. Individual
cash is entirely too scarce. With
each county interested unanimous
combination could be made in the
legislature in favor of reimbursing.

WE don't want two kinds OF mon
ey. one for the rich and one for the
poor. The wealthy man and the one
who tolls in the shop or on farm
should have the same kind of money.
If there is deprecated currency
from any cause remember that the
poor man is the one who ultimately
must make it good. They are the
ones who eventually suffer most.

We all eat too much is the idea a
learned physician tries to emphasize

ticle. Hthat same learned M. D.
was to publish a country news-pape,
for a few months and be compelled
to simply tighten his belt at the
noon hour instead Of indulging in a
nice, warm dinner he wouldn't write
any more such rubbish. The ques-
ton of the hour is how we are going

SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL AND DANCE.

The Freshman crew of the Myrtle
Boat Club gave delightful social
and dance at the boat house yester-
day evening, for which invitations
had been issued. The hall was
nicely decorated with Hawaiian and
American flags festooned with flow
ers and evergreens. Over the door
leading to the hall were Hawai-
ian flags and the clubs colors, while
GU the walls hung in conspicuous
places were trophies and "spoils'' of
the Myrtle Club. A picture in frame
of the Freshman crew in the last
race was also displayed. In fact the
whole place looked cheerful and in
wiling.
At O'Clock music for dancing
struck up and all tipped the light
fantastic toe for the opening of the
ball. The tcrpsichorean pastime was
kept up till after 10 o'clock, when
light refreshments were served out
under the able supervision of Mrs.
Dexter. After the party's partaking
of refreshments, dancing was resum-
ed until late hour, when all retired
satisfied with the enjoyment of the
evening.

The foreign mail due next week
may and probably will bring news of
the decisive issue of the affair be-
tween the United States and Chile
settlement or war. Our San Francis
co correspondent gives more details of
the trouble than have heretofore been
published here. Certainly the United
States has great provocation in the
case, and her forbearance up to
latest advices evinces high national
virtue. Unless the Chileans, how
ever, soon began to display a little
common-sense, this great quality OF
forbearance must have reached a
point where it ceased to be virtue.
