The peoples party IN Kansas made sucn
small pieces of the republican and dem
ocratic parties that they had to unite to
form q nucle us.-NOncOnformist
The anti-sub-treasury meeting in Mis-
sissippi consisted of six delegates, four
of whom we're political editors of demo-
cratic papers, and the occupation OF the
other two was unknown. Why don't
the democrats hold jubilee?-Toilers'
Advocate. Heber, Ark.
We would like to remind those who
bleat so much about ''capitalistic infu-
swept from the earth, labor, and labor
alone, would reproduce it again. There
fore, capital is but the creature of labor,
and should be the handmade of indus
try.-Alliance Signal, Gonzales, Texas.
Senator PETER Sundayed in Winfield,
leaving for the west Monday morning
over the Southern Kansas. The sena-
tor was billed for the Ohio campaign
in October, but is of the opinion that
Hanback's drunken spree in that state
will have such good effect for the peo-
pies party that he can give Cowley
some dates next month. Look out for
dates.-F'ree Press.
Chauncey M. Depew is credited with
the "brilliant' remark that this years
good crops will cure Kansas of the third
party fever. In this Chauncey is off. 1t
is merely confirmation of the old say
ing that "Heaven helps those who help
themselves" Last year the farmers
helped themselves politically, and
this year heaven is doing it's share by
helping with good crops.-Norton Mug

The NJ, K. & T. railway, under the
skilfull control of Jay Gould, could not
pay its debts, so Uncle Sam took charge
of it for couple of years, paid off the
debts, paid big salaries to two receiv-
ers, lots of court expenses, and has just
turned it over to the owners in tip-tOp
shape. And they say the government
canot run railroads. During the war
the government built and operated
many railroads with the greatest sue
cess.-Jeffersonian.
. There is literally no end to the opposi-
tion of republican and democratic pa
pers and speakers to the sub-treasury
plan proposed by the farmers alliance.
Has anyone ever seen or heard word
to the warehouse system for the storage
the lOaning to distillers of 80 cents on
definite period? Don't all answer at
once.-The Advocate.
The Blue Rapids (kas.) Motor illus
trates the DISQUALIFICATION fusion
in the state somewhat figuratively. 1t
says: "Hyenas and jackals in their
wild state do not agree. but let a COM
mon enemy appear and they will COM
bine forces against him, and when he is
overpowered, and even before his strug-
giles cease, they will fight over his car
cass for the spoils. The two old parties
do not follow this plan in all it's details,
inasmuch as they divide the spoils in
peace. The bosses take all the proceeds
and leave nothing for the common peo-
ple"
When the Barring Bros failed, the
Bank of England borrowed $4,000, 900
from the Bank Of France to help the
Earrings out. the Bank of England
borrowed this money on nothing but its
word. 1t was taken to England, and the
boxes that contained it were not opened,
and in three months it was returned I'M
opened. 1t is said that this $4,000, 600
saved the world from the worst tinan-
cial panic ever known. How did it? 1t
was not used. Suppose it had been lost
at sea in the transfer? The world would
have been ruined for the lack of this
money that was never used. This is an
excellent example of the humbug of me-
tallic money.-Faulkner County Wheel,
Conway, Ark.
Mckinley at the Palace said the re-
publican party is in favor of paying the
