SOMETHING LIKE A PANIC.
TWO PERIODS OF INTENSE EXCITE
MENT ON WALL STREET.

The Gould Stocks, Including Missouri Pa

Resistance Shown-The Rest Of the List
Gradually Falls in Line
NEW YORK, Sept. 24-The announcement
in regard to the Missouri Pacific dividend
to-day caused general surprise and conster-
nation, while the immediate effect upon
Missouri Pacific and the rest of the Gould
stocks was demoralizing. The whole mar
ket felt the depressing effect. The opening
was irregular and excited and the weakness
in Missouri Pacific was most pronounced at
the outset, when per cent was knocked off
its price within the first hour. The rest of
the market was dragged down, and while
the decline was steady the resistance was
remarkable.
In the afternoon there was comparatiye
quiet in the mar ket, with some slight necov-
cries although the market remained feyerish
throughout. In the last hour, however there
was q renewal of the depressing Influence,
and the transactions again assumed enor,
nous proportions. Missouri Pacific took an
other dip and touched 65, against 746 last
evening, while Union Pacific dropped to 40
and many others, including Lackawannn.

had throughout the forenoon resisted the
decline now gave way and Canada Southern
fell away per cent from its best figure
The market closed very active and weak
at about the bottom figures of the day. The
losses were very material and significant

want it distinctly understood that we do
not advise you to sell your wheat at
above prices which are based upon av-
erage prices of the English market on
ly.
We simply furnish you reliable fig
ures which We think should suggest to
you, that it would be folly to sell your
wheat for less than those prices.
The price Of 81. As in England, which
is the average for twenty wears will
probably prove to be less than the av-
erage price for the next twenty
years, as the steady increase of popula-
ton is an Offset for greater facilities in
farming.
But considering the immense short
age Of this year, no average price woul d
be adequate to the situation, and if We
we're the owner Of wheat we would hold
it for much higher price.
Sell sparingly, even when much bet
ter prices are offered to you than those
suggested above, and you will see a
steady advance to the end of the cror
year.

FORD COUNTY POLITICS.

The political campaign has already
begun in dead earnest in our neighbor-
ing county of Ford, and the results Of
the preliminary skirmishes indicate that
greater upheaval Of politics will occur
there this fall than took place in this
county this year. The wave of enthu-
siasm among the people for the new
party seems to be travelling rapidly
westward with increasing force and vol
ume. Last fall, there were not sufi.
Gent adherents to the People party in
Ford county to justify putting coun :
ty ticket in the field, and the old par.
ties were allowed to fight for the coun-
ty Offices unmo.ested- resulting in the
democrats electing representative and
most Of the county officers.
Since the election, however, the leav-
en- has been working and the people are
now joining hands, irrespective of old
party affiliations, to assist in accom-
plishing the reforms demanded BY the
Peoples party, and also, incidentally,
to nd the county of the old political
ringsters of Dodge City, who have run
the affairs of the county for 50 many
years.
A new paper vas established to cham
pion the cause Of the people, called the
Dodge City Times, and It is proving q
sharp thorn in the side Of the old par.
lea. Il Is the most ably edited Of any
Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1891-08-28

paper among our exchanges in western
Kansas. Since the Times took up the
fight, the Peoples party has become
thoroughly organized throughout the
county; many prominent citizens Of the
county, formerly republicans, take an
active part in the councils of the new
party, while the democrats seem to have
gone over in body. A harmonious
and enthusiastic convention was held a
short time ago and a ticket Of we'll
known, representative citizens nominal
ed for the county offices, and reliable
reports now indicate that the ticket will
be elected by about three hundred ma
jority.-Kinsley Graphic.
We thank the Graphic for the very
handsome compliment paid tie Times.
1t is appreciated the more because We
have very high opinion of the Graph
les judgment. We do not know where
Bro. French obtained his knowledge of
Ford county politics, but he seems to
be on the inside, as all wide awake news
paper men are. There is but one er-
ror in the article. The Times enjoys
the proud distinction of being the old
est paper in southwest Kansas.

ty ticket and intimated that he, Dellin-
ger, could have had the nomination had
he so desired. While we wish to es-
chew discourtesy, yet We must deny this
statement. After seeing and hearing
Mr.. Dellinger, we cannot believe that
the third party would commit so grew
iOus an error as to nominate him for
anything, let alone surveyor. In
fact, We are reliably informed that MIR.
Dellinger had in an application to join
the Alliance, but he very prudently
withdrew it for causes that, through a
sense of magnanimity, We will not state
Mr.. Dellinger should not be quite so
free In the use of his tongue. That
member OF human anatomy may get one
into embarrassing positions az well as
perform necessary functions. We re-
greet that Mr. Dellinger has made it
necessary to say anything harsh. We
Go not like to DO so, and we trust that
he will not give US an occasion again.
If he will pursue the even tenor Of his
way and keep in condition fitting his
mediocre abilities, he will not incur the
ili-wil! OF anyone, and will be quietly
and effectively laid away along, with the
other candidates ia November. DR..
Crumbine was nominated for coroner.
Then the delegates from the different
precincts composing the two commits
sioners districts got together. l.. r.
Miller of Dodge was nominated IN the
Bird. In the End the vote was tie, the
candidates being Marion Brown of Viii
burn and Ii. K. Brown of this city. A
dozen ballots were taken, but no choice
was made. However, everyone knew
that Dodge City would get it, as it was
down on the slate that way and slate
fixed up by the Dodge politicians is new
er broken, you know. The Wilburn
delegates made strong and manly plea
for their man. They told the Dodge
fellows that their precinct was repub-
lican stronghold, and that 1t had never
yet been given anything. They assert
ed that their candidate was as good
man as there is in Ford county. But
this talk availed nothing. Itwas writ
ten by the bosses that II. r. Brown
was to be the candidate and so he is.
The Wilburn boys finally gave up the
fight, but before doing SO they told the
Dodge men that Horton was sure to car
ry their precinct by a tremendous ma
jority. Geo. Groberty was elected
chairman of the central committee and
there the meeting broke up. Speare-
vile had candidate for treasurer, but
when the delegates from there found
that the slate could not be broken their
candidate 5 name was not presented.
Bobby Burns, the Cicero from the
east end, announced that he was the on
ly republican in his precinct, when the
roll for central committee man was be-
inc called.

Peoples Party Platform.

First That in view Of the great social, industri
al and economical revolution now dawning upon
the civilized world and the new and living issues
confronting the American people, we believe that
the time has arrived for capitalization Of the po
litica reform forces Of our country and the form
alton of what should be known as the People par
ty Of the United States OF America.
Second-That We most heartily endorse the de-
mands of the platform adopted at st. Louis. Mo-.
in 1889, Ocala. Fla, in 1880. and Omaha. Neb.. in
1891, by the industrial organizations there repre-
scented, summarized as follows:
A-The right TO make and Issue money a sover-
cign power to be maintained by the people for the
common benefit. Hence we demand the abolition
of national banks as banks Of issue, and subst
ute for national bank notes we demand that legal
tender treasury notes be issued in suficient vol
ume to transact the business Of the country on a
cash basis without damage or especial advantage
to any class calling Such notes to be legal ten
der in payment Of all debts, public or private, and
UGH notes, when demanded by the people, shall
be loaned to them at not more than sper cent per
annum upon non-imperishable products as ind-
Gated in the subtreasury plan.
B-we demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
alien ownership of land and that congress take
prompt action to devise some plan to obtain all
lands now owned by alien and foreign syndcates
and that all lands held by railroads. and other cor
porations IN of such is actually used and
needed by them be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only.
D-Believing the doctrine of equal rights to all
and special privileges to none we demand that
,.:cs,, hal nnr
be used to build up one interest class at the ex
pense Of another.
E-wedemand that all revenues national, state
or county-shall be limited to the necessary ex-
penses OF the government economically and hon
estly administered.
FIVE demand just and equitable system Of
graduated tax on income.
Give demand the most rigid. honest and just
national control and supervision of the means OF
public communication and transportation, and If
this control and supervision does not remove the
abuses now existing we demand the government
ownership of such means OF communication and
transportation.
HIVE demand the election of president. vice
president and United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
Recognizing that close commercial union OF
the western and southern states is much to be de-
sired on account of the magnitude of their CON-
mon interests, declare our firm belief that such
an union can only be effected through the instru-
mentality Of that party which has its chief strength
in those states, which believes a government by
the people is a safe government, that the farmers
and laborers OF the nation be trusted with the
reins Of power and that the overthrow Of existing
evils can only be accomplished by fcarlessly cut

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage recently
preached in Topeka and charged an ad-
mission fee of twenty-five cents. This
was not exactly consistent with the CON-
mand which the Master laid down to
His disciples, but then He did not spend
His vacation at summer resorts or trav-

action in this matter would imply that
