Is the Pen Mightier than the Sword?
Hoisington, Kansas, March Z, 1891

Hoisngton, Kansas, March g. 1891
EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Dear Sir:-For the especial benefit of
the Register man, CT rather the s'sick
man." please allow me space for a few
words. 1t is claimed that 1.-The pen is
mightler than the sword" In my
opinion this altogether depends Oh cir
cumstanceS. The illuStriOus Washing
ton had to call to his assistance the aid
of the sword, as did Abraham Lincoln,
when the pen had failed. Now in the
case of the ''sick man. and the display
he makes with the pen in his train of
abuse against the peoples party and
the democrats, it is evident that the
pen is ''mite-y" but in this case it de-
pends altogether on the season of the
year as to whether his pen is mightier
than the>sword or not. No doubt on a
cold winter day as this is with this
s'sick man. the pen would lie the
mightiest; but in warm weather say in
watermelon time, just imagine the
'.sick man" at 10 at night, sword in
hand, staying things generally. In this
case the sword is mightier than the
pen.
Now as to the proper remedy for this

Farewell, Surplus.

Some idea may be formed of the ex-
travagance of the fifty-frst congress
when the fact is considered that the
gross total of appropriations made by
that body amounts to ST. ,OO9. .25O 900 in
round numbers, which sum is
S19O, ,OOO, 900 more than was appropri-
ated by the fftieth congress and the
latter amount was S73,O00,O00 more
than the appropriations of the forty
ninth congress. The total appropria-
tions of the fifty-frst congress were
equivalent to a tax of SIG per capita on
the entire population of the United
States, or SS per capita per annum.
1t is farewell, surplus. The ''busi-
ness (?) congress of the republican
boasting has not only squandered the
surplus in the national treasury, but
will have created an estimated defici-
ency of forty eight millions of dollars
by July /, 1892.

Kansas Wheat,

The crop bulletin sent out by the agri-
cultural department at Washington,
and published i'm our telegraphic columns
Wednesday morning, was a grand
| showing for Kansas. OF all the winter
wheat states. most of them having
better averages than usual, Kansas
| took the lead. She heads the list with
a grand average of one hundred per
cent. So far as the report concerns
Kansas it is about as near accuracy as
such reports can be made The wheat
prospect in Kansas never promised
more. at the spring season of the year,
than it does now. With one hundred
days of favorable weather the wheat
fields of Kansas will show the largest
average yield ever recorded
Not only does the wheat crop show
an average condition of one hundred
per cent. but the acreage is the largest
and thousands of acres of western
Kansas soil will bear their first crop
this year. The success with wheat for
the past few years induced our farmers
to sow more extensively last fall than
ever before. and the acreage in the
western half of the state is probably
double that of any previous season.
With such crop as the prospects now
indicate. the supremacy of Kansas as
the banner winter wheat state will be
settled, if, indeed, it has not been salts
factorily settled by the records of past
seasons. Kansas does not base her
claims for supremacy upon acreage OF
average yield alone. She also makes
the important claim-a claim borne out
by actual reSultS-that she produces a
better quality of wheat than any other
winter wheat region in the world.
Flour made from Kansas wheat stands
at the head of the list. Kansas mills
send their products to the most criti-
cal markets in the world and they are
quoted second to none. Autocratic as
has been king corn, it now looks as if
he would soon be dethroned in Kansas
by the queen of all cereals.-Hutehin-

A High Protection Speech.


On LAST Friday afternoon Roswell
G.. Horr, representing the New York
Tribune, one of the most unreasonable
gold bng and high protection organs in
the country, addressed a fair sized
audience composed mostly of town peo-
pie. at the Grand. on the Mckinley
tariff bill. Mr.. Horr proved himself an
entertaining speaker, and, from a
high protection standpoint, inadequate
a defense of the Mckinley bill. He re-
surrected the old free trade scare crow
the republicans trotted about so in
dustriously some years ago and aimed
all his argument at thing or ism that
did not exist except in the minds of a
few misguided republicans. Mr.. HOrr
cannot be blamed for doing the best he
could for his employers-the wealthy
manufacturers of the east who are still
crying for professionalism is what Mr..
Horr is paid for doing. He should
not, however, have spoiled any good
impressions he might have made, by
asking for questions from the audience
and then making the questioners the

AN exchange says the latest clever
swindle is accomplished by the means
of a double fountain pen, one end filed
with good ink the other that fades
away in day OF two. The sharper's
plan is to call on farmers or others,
make a trade SO advantageous to them
that they are willing to agree to it,
write the contract Oh agreement with
the ink that fades, then manage so that
the victim signs it with the ink that
lasts. Then in a few days they have
the name on a sheet of blank paper on
which any sort of a note can be written
People who read the papers are careful
how they sign their names to any docu-
ment offered by a stranger. Those who
don't are caught in this new trap.

Sueaking Aronnd a Subterfuge.

That is what Ralph Easlcy in the
Hutchinson News says the republican
senate has been doing, aid we admire
Ralph for kicking over the traces as he
does in the following sensible editorial
in last Sundays News:
''There were many instances where
the peoples party was inconsistent. but
while all this is true it was no excuse
for the cowareily actiel of the republi-
can senate.
There were many important reform
measures that the republican party
promised the people last fall through its
platforms, through its press and by its
house, not one of which was passed by
that body and all of which were passed
by the peoples party in the house and
sent over there to be killed or SmOth-
cred in the committee room.
''In the state platform, in every con-
gressional district platform, in eighty
nine county platforms out of hundred,
was made the provision that the rail-
road commissioners should be elected
by the people, and in most platforms
that lower rates of transportation
should be secured.
1.-The house passed a number of rail-
road bills, some good and some bad.
but. the senate railroad commiIty was
SO thoroughly under the control of the
railroads that they were barely cOnSid-

neys on hand who were using every

''Ir is no excuse for the senate that
the house bills were too radical and that
they came over too late. What was the
senate doing all this time? Why did
not the republican senate meet this
question itself instead of sneaking
around such a miserable subterfuge as
the one they have given Aout?''

A SAD ACCIDENT.
By being late this week we are
enabled to report the following sad ac-
cident, which occurred in this city this,
Friday. morning. As tie incoming
train from the west, No. 6, due here at
S:55, came in, it had on board, as a
passenger, an elderly lady, whose ticket
from Great Bend to Galva. The brake
man informed her that she would have
to change cars here. She went out on
the platform and jumped off, while the
train was under full headway, probably
thinking the freight depot was the pas
senger depot. The consequences, of
course. were, that she was pretty badly
hurt. being unconscious, when found.
The Drs., at the present writing, have
not completed an examination, but it is
thought that she can not live. She had
a little change in her pocket, but was
poorly dressed.
