Significant Truths,

Perhaps the most significant utter
ance on the alliance strength in Kansas
is Frank McGrath's interview. Mr..
Grath was until three days ago presi-
dent of the state alliance and cOnse-
quently in position to know whereof
he speaks. OF the decadence of the
organization he says:
The peoples party is doing much to
disrupt the alliance for the reason that
it has been controlled largely by class
of men who are not in sympathy with
the the farmer. a year ago the farm
erS alliance in Kansas had member
ship of l40, 900 in good standing on the
books. Now it has less than $4,000.
Until the real farmers realize fully
what effect the demoraliZing influence
of the Vincent gang is having upon the
alliance and cut loose from it, this
membership will continue to grow less.
If the order is saved from total wreck,
wind and gush must give way to brains
and business judgment.
There is of course nothing particu-,
larly new in the statement for thous-
ands of intelligent men have already
seen the same tendency and have
washed their hands of this enemy of
Kansas. There is no question as to
the hostility of the peoples party lead
ers to the farmers interests. They
are class of men who never did any
thing for farmers or anybody else and
their theories are as wild as their
mouths.
The overthrow of McGrath, the most
capable of the farmers alliance leaders,
for a gang of visionary anarchistic
howlers is but another long step toward
the end.

SANTIAGO, Chill, Oct 29.-The Gillian

Egan's demand for an explanation Of
the recent attack upon American sail

The reply is couched in very strong
language and it is understood that it
amounts to refusal to accept respon-
sibility for the affair. The state de-
partment at Washington has been noti-
fed.
Minister Egan, Commander Schley
and Consul MeCreery are consulting
together and it is thought that decisive
action will be taken soon The state

Those Private Letters.

Judge Nicholson has so far forgotten
the common eourtesies due a CORES
Dondent as to exhibit certain private
letters written to him by Judge Hum
phrey. The letters in themselves are
harmless and can only iDjure the man
who betrays the confidence of a friend.
Judge Humphrey was friend to Mr..
Nicholson and supposed, like thOus-
and other men in the district, that Mr..
Nicholson had political honesty enough
to maintain his political convictions
and at the same time keep the judiciary
above the mire of partisan politics.
But when Mr.. Nicholson got down into
the mire of ward politics and tried to
drag the judicial ermine down with
him, Judge Humphrey, like thousands
of other men in the district, demanded
that the purity of the Kansas judiciary
should not be polluted and disgraced
by political acrobats.

They Can Hold Their Wheat.

In his speech at Girard the other
day, Hon. J. B. Burton said TO the
farmers in his audience that the kind
of sub treasury they ought to have is a
private crib for corn and a barn for
wheat. "Hold your wheat till the
spring." said Mr.. Burton, land in my
judgment you will sell it for SIPS per
bushel."
A farmer wanted to know how it
was possible to hold the wheat when
the wheat raisers were in debt. With
out answering the question Mr.. Burton
called upon all the farmers in the
who were able to hold their
wheat until spring to raise their hands.
About 800 hands went up. All who
we're unable to hold their wheat we're

Actual Farmers to the Rear.

The defeat of McGrsth for president
of the state alliance means that it is
now the farmers to the rear and the
professional union labOrite politicians
to the front. The men most prominent
in the secret couRcils of the peoples
party are not farmers. They are class
of cheap politicians who are trying to
ride into Office by the votes of farmers.
They have secured control Of the farm
ers alliance through the peoples party,
The whole thing is in the hands OF a
few political quacks. The farmers are
continually putting up the money and
the quacks are getting it. Men with
out brains have suddenly sprung into
prominence and want to be considered
great politicians and leaders. They
want more authority. The thing that
was to work such a reformation in
politics has turned out to be a solid
mass of corruption and deceit. Every
politician in the order has been schem-
ing against every other one, and the
greater the demagogue the more self
and domineering he be-
comes. This cannot last long. -[KAn-

The Election Outlook.

Prophecy on the Threshold OF an
election is not often of any use. If it
creates false confidence or slackens the
efforts OF friends it is worse than use
less. 1t is therefore enough at this
time to say that the prospect of the
election of the entire republican ticket
is very encouraging, and that the pros
pect has been Frightening every day
since the convention. So much any
observer may gather from the move
ments of the opposition. There could
hardly be better evidence of the oppO-
sition's doubt of their ability to elect
their ticket than the fact that they
have found it absolutely necessary to
raise an additional corruption fund on
the eve of the election for the purpose
of overcoming indifference and apathy
among the rank and file of their party.
And if further evidence of their fright
was wanted it can be seen in the fact
the News of this city has practically
abandoned the entire ticket except
poor Jim Smith" That mongrel
sheet makes final and pitiable plea to
the democrats to support Smith, be-
cause fOrsooth once in the dim ages of
the past lie took sip at the democratic
pump, and then deserted as soon as he
could find another party to get into.
The News will get very few democrats
to follow it in its humiliating effort to
hang on to the coat tail of this demo-
ct" deserter.

which We have had to contend this year
are very great. We have had the
prestige of last years defeat to over
come. We have had to fight a set of
political bushwhackers, who have
concealed themselves in lodge rooms,
behind locked and barred doors. 1t
has been herculean task to get them
out in the open field that we might
fairly discuss the issues of the day
with them. Wherever they have come
out and listened to argument and
reason, important inroads have been
made, and many of them have returned
to the parties which they left one year
ago. Only among that class who have
fatty refused to read republican or
true democratic papers, or listen to any

1t is to be hoped and expected that

The Interests at Stake.

The question DOW before the voters
Of this county and state who desire to
see the reputation of this common
wealth restored and advanced, who
desire to see the community benefited
in every element that belongs to a
higher civilization, is, whether they
are willing to give it over to that party
which by its INSCRIPTIONS defamation
and foul SANDER OF our once fair and
happy state, has, in the very midst of
the most abundant crops and the high
est average prices for years, destroyed
our industries at home, our credit and
good name abroad, driven capital from
our borders and stopped all inmigra-
ton into our midst. Is there anything
in the history, the composition or the
purposes Of that organization which
would justify such q sacrifice of
finances, of credit, Of honor? Have
the results of the partial and temporary
success of that organization been such
as to encourage the extension of power
into the hands of the bosses Of these
secret political wigwams2 sit sdvis-
able or desirable that this secret and
dangerous political party shall have
control of the institutions of this state
for the purpose of further debasing
our credit both at home snd abroad?
