A LITTLE LUNCH.
Causes q Great Row in the Peoples
Party.

From the Cleveland lO..) Press.
Congressman Jerry Simpson is now
the fallen idol of the Peoples party in
Cleveland, and DR.. Tuckerman, the in
defatigable local leader, is in the
shadows. Saturday night, after the po-
litical meetings were ended, Congress-
man johnson and Mills went over after
their colleague, Simpson, and found
him with his man Friday, DR..
Tuckerman. The party, with other
local Democratic lights, went to the
Hollenden and had social converse
ton in Mills room. Later, johnson in
vited Simpson and Tuckerman in to
lunch, and accompanying them were L.
A. Russell and S. d. Dodge.
1t was in the lunch room, where the
table was spread with fine linen
and silver. and the workingman's
champion was partaking of delicacies
at the Democratic leaders expense, that
a delegation from the Peoples party
found him just as champagne corks
were popping. The workingmen re-
monstrated with him and Jerry is re-
ported to have replied that they were
not paying him for his time and he was
under no obligations to them. He pro-
posed to do as he pleased and they could
do as they pleased. The delegation left
and Congressman Simpson continued his
lunch.
Sunday afternoon the Franklin club,
to which many Peoples party leaders
belong, held it's regular meeting, and the
way the sockless Jerry was ripped up
the back was a caution. Hugo Preyer,
who has been stumping the state, said he
was opposed to Simpsons actions and
he did not propose to go out and stump
the state for principles and then have
the party leaders go out and wine and
dine with their enemies.
John Kircher declared: 1.-THE revo-
luton had its Benedict Arnolds, and so
have we today. We should protest
against any such schemers coming here
and posing as representatives of the
Peoples party"

How He Got Left.

From the Chase Record
A farmer living near Chase a few
years ago, owning a fine large farm,
''took it into his head" that he wanted
to trade his farm for land in Missouri.
giving as a reason that he wanted to 60
where he could raise tame grass. Well,
there are some smart Missourians, and
one was found to accommodate him, and
the exchange was SOON made. The Sc
quel to this developed few weeks ago
when the two gentlemen met, and, upon
comparing notes, il was found that
about double the amount of tame hay
had been raised on the Kansas farm that
our ex-Kansan had raised on his Missouri
farm.

undue advantage to Kansas City. The
petition Of the Kansas grocers alleges that
the same rate is charged from Galveston
TO any given point In Kansas that Is
charged from Galveston to Kansas City,
and from here to the point In question
That Is to say, if the freight rate on a
certain article from Galveston to Arkal-
sas City be so cents, the rate on the same
article from Galveston to Kansas City,
through Arkansas City, is 80 cents, and
from Kansas City back to Arkansas City
is 30 cents, making the rate SO cents
either way. Arkansas City is but an ex-
ample; other Kansas towns Will do
equally well for illustration.
The railroads at once plead lack OF
jurisdiction and were promptly overruled
by the commission; and there is but little
doubt that the commission will decide in
favor of the Kansas petitioners. The
question will then occur on the constitu
tionality of the decision: Whether the
question Is one for state or for federal
commission to decide Considering that
the freight is loaded IN one state and I'M
loaded outside of Kansas boundaries it is
indeed questionable if the Kansas board
can fix the rate for the entire journey of
the article, when but a small part of
such journey is in the state over which
the commission has jurisdiction.
However, the interstate commission
has made certain decisions on the SUBJ
Ject, which, the Kansas commission
feels, warrants them in assuming the
jurisdiction they have. Whether the
Kansas cases will end as the Missouri
cases have is yet unknown; but the Kan
sas fellows claim that they propose to
push things to the limit. In any event
Kansas City will not lose by the transac-
ton. If the decision is such that Kansas
are benefited Kansas City will
be doubly the gamer; for, as Kansas
grows, Kansas City prospers. There is
no reason why the cIty's interests and
the Sun1ower states should be at yari-

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO KANSAS.
From Hon. Joe Ady's Manhattan speech.

From Hon. Joe Ady's Manhattan speech.
Kansas is all right She is miracle
of progressI She is a sunf1ower whose
Jewel center is surrounded by petals of
gold! In a quarter of century she has
given homes to million and half Of
people. Sixteen million acres of land
have been laid under the pillow, and the
farm products of Kansas this year-the
surplus of them, mark the words, the
surplus of Kansas, is worth a hundred
millions of dollars this minute. More
than the total output of silver and gold
annually in the United States! [Great
applause and cheeringl And every dol
lar of this magnificent crop has free
coinage in the market and the mint of
the whole world. Our property is worth
today billion. three hundred and ninety
millions of dollars Our free school
system is unparalleled by any on
earth. Our colleges and higher educa-
tional Institutions are a matter of
glory to every Kansan; our prisons and
asylums and eleemosynary institutions,
mark the generous conduct of the people
of the state of Kansas toward the unfor-
tunate. Kansas Is all right; all she needs
is 10 have the truth told about her. Call
in the vile horde of conspirators that is
trotting over the nation at a salary of
5000 q year! Pull down from high
places, every coward that dares 70
asperse her good name! Applause.
Lash from the temple Of justice with &
scorpion whip every man who degrades
the mantle Of justice, put your keeping
in the hands of honorable men; go 10
work and develope the magnificent re-
sources that God and nature have placed
in your power, and Kansas in the future,
as in the past, will be invincible in war,
in peace progressive, matches, supreme.

The mention of the name of George T.
Anthony does not cause the press of the
northeast corner of the state to warm
towards the ex-governor with any very
great degree of fervency. The Leaven-

Atchison Champion works itself up to
the point of declaring that at will be a
very raw and polario day before George
7. Anthony again sits in the executive
chair at Topeka" If Fosters and Hicks

Champions opinion is undoubtedly cor
rect. Those prophets tell us we are to
have an unusually cold and disagreeable

governor does not take place until this

any time or under any circumstances
In Kansas it has been different. In a
large majority Of instances the people of
Kansas have been heroic, self-sacrifcing
and enduring in their submission to pri-
vations and adversely, to be sure, but
not all. There is an element of croakers
in the state that have never failed to pre-
sent dark side to every picture, and
when there was no dark side have drawn
one from imagination. And they are
still with US, and. like the poor of whom
the Savior spoke, they are likely to re-
main. 1t is gratifying to feel assured,
however, that they have already done
their worst, and henceforth their tale of
woe Will have few and yet fewer listen
ers.
Had Chicago been handicapped by
such an element it is doubtful that her
efforts at recuperation would have been
as successful as they have. Without
such hindrances and dead weight the
imagination can hardly picture the pro-
gres5 Kansas would have made to date.
