tOHlcials of the Lehigh Valley rail
road say that it is a mistake to say
that they lose 100000 tons of coal by
the Coke Bros, contract with the Read
s ing. They say that their share of the
loss will be less than 100000 tons, and
this will be made up by increase from
other shippers.

and locomotive, which in former years

What is 1t?

If the present so-called Republic
an party is not a secret political
party, then what is it? We haven't
heard of it's being denied that the
Knights of Reciprocity is secret
political order. Then if it be Sc
cret political order, it is partisan
one, of Republican origin. Its
signs, grips and objects are partisan
Republican politics Next is the
Republican league, pledge-bound
order, also of Republican party
origin. This one is the outside
sentinel or door of the order Of
Knights Of Reciprocity. These
two are unit within and for the
party, trying to save the life and
success of the party. Their objects
are one and the same. If we were
going to write the name of it's Sc
cret order, we would write as
follows: Order of R. P. pledge
bound league Of Knights Of Reel
procity; which, when Interpreted,
would mean, Republican party in
secret league, bound and pledged to
protect capitalist monopolies and
combinations Of trusts.

SHREwD bankers and other men
with money have been buying a
great many farms in western Kansas
within the past year, getting title
to them for little more than the
mortgage. These buyers will real
ize from fifty to three hundred per
cent. on the money they actually
invested. OTTAWA Republican.
In other words, the farmers of
western Kansas fave had to give up
their farms to the mortgages. No
doubt, every timo one of those
farms was gobbled up, some Repub-
lican paper of that section got upon
the house-top-so to speak-and
yelled, Another mortgage releas-
ed :" That's the way they do in
this part Of the state.

Prohibition and Re-submiSs1On.

1t is not without regret that we
witness the effort of Prohibitionists
to create a prejudice against the
proposition of the last Legislature
submitting to the people, in 1892,
the question of holding constitu-
tional convention to revise and
amend the constitution now in force.
To assume, as did the late Prohibi-
ton convention, that the proposition
is a re-submission scheme, is entire
ly unwarranted, for the facts do not
Justify the charge. The members
of that convention knew that
proposition to re-submit was voted
down by the last Legislature. If
they had reflected that no vote of
any kind was to be taken until 1892,
and then only as to whether a con-
vention should be held, they would
have seen the absurdity of their
position. Now, suppose the people
vote for convention in '92, the in
coming Legislature will have to pro-
vide for it's being chosen, and it's
work will go before the people for
approval or rejection; so that the
question of re-submission cannot be
voted on till '94, if at all.
Now, we believe the constitution,
aside from the prohibitory clause,
should be amended. Some of the
best lawyers and prohibitiohists be-
lieve in constitutional convention
because we have outgrown the old
constitution. The people can, and
ought to, be trusted with their own
affairs so let the question come up
on it's own merits, and be voted on
accordingly.

That Telegraph Report.

ASCPOEW
The following is an extract taken
from Col. L. L. Folks speech deliv-
cred at Iowa's capital:
"The tclegraphic report, he said,
"was lie utterly without founda-
ton; there was no such demonstra-
ton he was as safe on the streets Of
Wichita as in his own city of
Raleigh; he had never been in or
about a confederate prison in his
life ); had never reached higher
rank than third lieutenant in the
confederate army; had never cap
tured but one Union prisoner, and
if he were here to-day he would
testify that he had treated him as a
brother. He would give 81, 900 to
any man who would produce any
reliable evidence contradictory to
this denial. The report was in it's
conception, it's spirit and it's utter
ances, wicked, malicious, coward
ly lie."
Col. Polk then denounced in the
most emphatic manner those who
would tear afresh the nations
wounds, and who were determined
to prevent if possible a fraternal
union of the producers north and
south. He declared that in the
south the Farmers Alliance has
been the most potent factor i'll bring
ing back reconciliation. With
much emphasis he declared that any
man who in the south would appeal
for support on the ground of dead
prejudice would be politically buried
by the Alliance, which controlled
the majority of the Democratic
votes of the south. Who ever
waved the bloody shirt there would
be buried with the unsanguined
garment as his shroud, face down
ward, and told to scratch to the
place where he belonged. In North
Carolina, he said, any speaker who
abused the north would be hooted
off the stand. Unfortunatel y both
north and south a few newspapers
and loud-mouthed fellows misrepre
scented the feelings of their sections,
and the honest people had long been
misled, but thank God, the scales
have fallen from our eyes, and from
your eyes, land we know that on
both sides there is but one feeling:
desire, to see this country become
free. There was never time when
our hearts did not beat in unison,
but our party bosses did not want
us to know it. | appeal to the
young men who bear no wounds of
war, whose ears have never heard
the beat of the war drum, whose
ewes have never seen the red glare
of battle, and whose hearts should
have none of the hatred, animosity
and prejudice of other years to
heed this message of peace we
bring to you. In 1865 God de-
creed-I repeat, God decreed we
should be one people, and let us not
with our puny efforts try to set
aside the intentions of the Almighty.

Calamity Republicans, and How
Mortgages are Being Paid off
in Kansas.

We clip the following from the
Iowa Tribune:
The census bureau has sent out
it's report of the mortgage indebt-
edness of Kansas. The report
shows that the estimates used by
the Alliance speakers and writer's
have been accurate. The total
mortgage debt of the state is $685.
1856, 1O5. This is all on farms and
lots, and does not include the state
and railroad land contract debt,
amounting to $7,661,71S. Of this
total debt l67 millions is upon acres
and 6S millions on lots. Thirty
four per cent. Of the debt on acres
is in the western half of the state
and sixty-six per cent. on the east
ern half.
The assessed valuation Of all
property in the state, except rail
roads, is only $500, 593,7l1. The
mortgage debt equals eighty-one
per cent. Of this.
The Kansas Republican papers
ought to begin action against Por-
ter at once for "slandering their
state, advertising their bankruptcy,
discouraging immigration and driv-
ing away foreign capital" Porter
has certainly given the Kansas Re-
publican editors a very black eye,
but they come up smiling with a
new lie about the rapidity with
which the farmers are paying off
their mortgages A Stevens coun-
ty, Kansas, farmer, who has until
recently been staunch Republican,
writes under date Of August Goth
to the Chicago Sentinel as follows:
"The editor Of the Topeka Cap
ital, Aug. Is, 1891 }, leading Re-
publican daily paper, devotes much
space to prove that the farmers of
Kansas are in prosperous condi-
ton; not borrowing dollar but
paying off their farm mortgages at
a rapid rate.
He quotes figures from the rec
ords to prove what abomtnable liars
the "calamity howlers" are. lie
names Stevens county, and that is
what | wish to explain, and what is
true of this county is true Of all
the southwestern counties in the
state.
He takes the month of July, 1891,
and shows how many mortgages
were filed for record-none.
In another column shows mort
cages paid off and cancelled large
amounts.
Now for the facts in the case.
Long before July, 1891, every
loan company doing business in this
county withdrew their agents. Not
a dollar can be had on any terms.
Then, again, the amount of can
celled mortgages as shown is moth
ing more or less than the poor
farmer, who was threatened with
immediate foreclosure and could
not meet his interest coupons semi
annually and had waived his right
of appraisement, knowing the land
would not bring one-half the indebt
edncss, and if sold at forced sale,

That Bogus Resolution.

We are in receipt of letter from
Byron T. Park, of Erin, n. Y, con-
tanning clipping from the New
York Advertiser relative to the al
legged Hutchinson resolution, pub
lished by the Interior-Herald. We
have published the bogus resolution
and the resolution that was really
passed by the reform editors at
Hutchinson; hence, we think it I'M
necessary to publish them again.
We will simply say, for the benefit
of our correspondent, that the bo-
gus resolution is lie, made out of
whole cloth, and was published and
circulated for the sole purpose of
iniuring the Peoples party.

THE Republican Calamity League
party adopts thesame old stereotyped
campaign resolutions, make the
same old stereotyped campaign
speeches, with one or two excep-
tions, which are, first: They now
give the Peoples party the whole
amount of abuse that they formerly
have been giving the Democrat par
ty; and second, they leave out that
resolve, that "prohibition is the
fixed policy of the state, and that
the party is in favor of enforcing
the prohibitory law" So we see it
has unloaded prohibition and taken
it's load of abuse off the Democrat
party and heaped it on the Peoples
party. We says calamity is not
making the party change from bad
to worse.

Lesson From Armenian Vanity.

1t has been thought by wise men and
philosophers, and even by poets (who,
as we all know, are the most devoted
vassals of the seX), that all women have
in their hearts liking for furbelows
and trinkets Virgil tells us that Ca
milla, after having shaken off all other
female weaknesses, was still a woman
in this particular 1t seems that love
of finery was the ruin of that eminent
feminine warrior. After having wild.
owed no end of Trojan wives with her
tremendous sword, she espied young
gentleman from the many Gated city,
who wore an embroidered tunic, a
beautiful coat of mail and a mantle of
Tyrian purple. "A golden bow hung
upon his shoulder; his garment was
buckled with golden clasp, and his
head was covered with a golden he'll
met" The splendid outfit of the youth
set the Greek Amazon almost crazy.
She thought, no doubt. that such pa
rade-suit would add greatly to her kill
ing appearance, so she flew at him like
a tigress. But, alas! her vanity and
greed proved her destruction, and Vir-
gil leaves his lady readers to draw a
moral from her fate.-N. Y. Ledger.
