The Archer hond trial Is nearing is
close Al Towson The State concluded
the presentation Of its side Of the case
yesterday SAYS the S9a. and the defendant
said they would offer no evidence. The
defense made an unsuccessful effort to
secure continuance OF the case upon
the motion made by the State for the Ill
ing OF third replication. This repli-
cation alleged that Archer embezzeled
the money obtained for the purchase of
forty four treasury relief bonds instead
of the bonds themselves. The court al
lowed the State to amend It's pleadings
as desired and overrnled any technical
objections made by the defense. The
prayers of the State wcre ready, but an
early adjournment was had 10 enable the
defendants to prepare theirs, which
win lie submitted this morning, after
which the argument before the jury viii
begin The State amended IL pleadings
in order TO meet the facts as brought out
in the trial. and thereby deprived the
defense of Its main reliance The State
witness had proved that Archer obtained
the warrants. but did not purchase the
bonds. The defendants had summoned
the same witnesses 10 prove that the
purchases were not made, but. Mr. Car
ter said yesterday, the State proved the
defendants case = besides its own.
Thedefendants also amended their plead
ing by third plea. claiming general
faithful performance by Archer OF the
duties OF treasurer.

Jerry Says We Are Bankrupt.


Congressman Jerry Simpson
comes out fiatfooted for reputation,
in an interview published elsewhere
in this issue. Notwithstanding the
$40, 100000 wheat crop, the $751;
100000 hay crop, the probable
$50, 10000 corn crop, SIS, 900, 900
oats crop and at least 100000, 900
coming from other products, he
thinks it should be admitted that
the state should go into bankruptcy.
We refer to this in order to point
out the interesting fact that for the
first time in the history of the ma
tion congressman from Kansas
publishes to the world that his state
is bankrupt and the people must and
should repudiate their obligations
Capital.
1t is absolutely sickening to read
such a mendacious falsehood pub
lished in paper in Kansas. The
interview referred to took place in
the editorial room of the Tribune.
There were present, Mr.. Simpson,
reporter of the Capital, Mr.. F. L.
Bailey and the editor of the Trib-
und Mr.. Simpson made no such
statement nor anything that could
have been twisted into such a state
ment. 1t is made of whole cloth,
An utter lie outright.
Mr.. Simpson denied having made
the statement attributed to him by
the Abilene Reporter and continued
saying it was simply impossible to
pay debts when there was no money
in existence to pay with. The in
evitable result of the lack Of cur
rency was bankruptcy to many
business firm whose real assets
should have been able with a suffi-
cheney of currency to carry them
through.
Bankruptcy is practically repudi
alton, for the debt is not paid, but
simply wiped out, and the bankrupt
is wiped out with it. He also said
that accepting Secretary Mohler's
figures of 6O.OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat, even this gigantic crop
would not meet the public and pri-
vate interest account.

A Lawyers Advice.

happens that lawyers are called up
on to address Alliance men publicly
upon the situation and the duties 0
the hour. In some instances, goOt
and wholesome advice is given
and by the by, the farmer has no
lacked for advice from this class
for, 10! these many years. At
late gathering of Alliance men il
this state, one Mr.. S. H. Stafford,
talented young lawyer, talked tt
them on this wise: He begged
them to build mp their homes and
farms, look to their own home inter
est, educate their children and lei
the third party issue alone. By sc
doing, they would have the mean
ing of ALLIANCE. =,
There are three leading thoughts
suggested by the above extract
which we desire to notice First
the building up Of home interest
second, the education Of the clil.
dren; third, let the third party is
sue alone.
Now as to the first idea, OF
thought, build up your homes, look
to home interests, etc, etc. Much
depends upon the home. No place
is like home, Home, Sweet Home. "
Home the spot of earth supremely
blest,
A sweeter, nobler spot than all the
rest"
AS q class the farmer has labored
we'll and faithfully in building up
his home. A good deal of what has
been done has been done under
considerable drawbacks. There JIG
considerable number Of mortgages
hanging over the homes Of farmers,
and the chances Of reducing those
mortgages, in many instances, are
doubtful He needs the atimulant
arising from the assurance that the
home which he labors to build up
is, and will be, secure to him, and
his children after him. He cannot
be assured under the workings OF
present financial laws of discrim.

ent Of the Toiler: "The agricul
tural products of this nation were
valued at 1920, 900, 900 less in 1886
than they were in 1860, notwith
standing in 1880 we employed q
million more hands, and cultivated
a hundred million more acres than
we did in 1860. Bringing il
down to more recent dates, the re-
suits are more appalling. In 1884
the farmers of the United States
sowed 100000 acres in wheat
which produced 513,OOO,OOO bush
els, for which they realized $3.50,
100000, this being $50, 900, 900 less
than they realized for cultivating
"a 600 600 acres and . production
