THE NEW

The great reform party, with its three
rings and acres. of Canvass veritable
circus, with SCI kpR PETER the clown
and COLONEL "a not in it, has sd-
journed.
There were resolutions and they were
ringers. There were grievances and they
were just. There were ~recitals of wrongs
against nature-of crime against the poor
and they all were true. But what does
1t argue?
The two great parties, the republican
and democratic, are alone responsible for
any dissatisfaction. They each have
made startling platforms and with them
gone before the people. They have each
won the day and the condition of man
kind has not been bettered. But after all
the people must awake before these pio-
neers like the Cincinnati reformers can
hope to achieve anything.
Take for instance in this state. The
Farmers Alliance, headed by POLK and
ELIAS CARR, carried the day and carried
the legislature. They had a straight and
u%ndoubted working majority. 1t was
within their power to wipe from the
books all the wicked legislation which
corrupt and venal legislators in past
years had written. 1t was within their
power to have strengthened their cause
to have given immediate relief to the
Oppracca6 on6 b1r1opo6 forpoar. II uoo
their mission had they been honest to
have benefited every taxpayer and
given North Carolina a boast in honest
legislation that would have been the old
states browning glory.
But what was the result ?.
The books show that these piOus and
jealous reformers made their bed with
JOE DANIELS, and he became the first
party to one of the most barefaced lagal
steals that was ever witnessed in 2
free country. The compensation was
not large-but the principle was writ in
red. DANIELS came in and absolutely
took from the taxpayers thousands of
dollars. CAPTAIN AsHE offered to save
this money to the people, offered the leg
i~slature which the people had elected as
their representatives a bonus to the state
and these creatures who dared not say
their souls were their own, took the
bonus from the state and gave it to a
man who was utterly undeserving. He
was O creature who had no moral sta
nina; he had been educated, in a way,
at the expense of the republican party
he had always been a political dissem-
bier, and he was not entitled to the
thousands which AsHE offered to save
This is the history and any abuse OF
this paper will not alter or change the
facts. And~yet these new parties are
lhsG1l same things that were
denied Norm -~rSalina when the new
party had an absolute and ~undoubted
sway.
The mouthy reformers are frauds from
POLK to DANIELS. The people know it
and that is why never again in this state
will the Farmers Alliance be recognized.
Unless, it may be added, the demagogues
and cheap parasites are relegated to the
rear.

From the Topeka Capital.
The Peoples party leaders are in the
city. They look very wise but their
faces do not wear that confident express
sion which characterized them before

The meeting which has called these
champions of calamity politics together
is that of the state central committee of
the Peoples party. They are here to
map out campaign which they expect
to carry on vigorously from the first.
1t is said that an address to the voters
of the state will be issued in which Heb
bard's figures on the election will proba-
bly, be included, together with other
compilations to convince the people of
Kansas that the Peoples party is not en-
! tirely dead.
Levi Dumbald, the chairman of the
committee, is the central figure. lie IS

will be called upon to explain how it
happened that the Peoples party carried
that county last year by from 600 TO 800
majority and this year Dumbald and his
ixers allowed the county to swing back
into the Republican line by handsome
pluralities of several hundred. Mr..
Dumbald may explain. No one has
heard him say anything on the subject

deck.
B. E. Kies of Wichita, who is repre-
sentative of the radical end, has grown
to be quite an important parsonage since
the victory for his faction at the state
meeting. He is prominent in the pres
ent councils and will no doubt evolve
some mighty plan for carrying the state.
NJ. Sem of Dickinson county, who was
one of the most radical members of the
legislature, is here. He made his record
on the Coffeyville investigation commit
! tee by doubling everything which was
sworn to by everyone except their own
witnesses.
McGrath is not here. 1t is supposed
be is on his farm at Beloit. There are
many of the leaders who would like to
talk with him and they are consequently
very much disappointed at his non APP
pearance.
The committee feel the need of daily
paper. They think that their pathway
to success lies through the avenue of an
active stare caiIy. At the meeting of
the committee last night the question
was discussed. They have some doubts
whether the ''dear people" will submit
to being ''bled" for funds enough to sus-
tain a daily. They reason that they have
so far responded to all demands and they
see no reason why they should not con-
tinue to d. so.

from their hunting expedition in the Chey-

prairie chickens, 800 quail, two coons, two
opossums, four hawks, two prairie dogs
and an owl. Judge Burford says that DR..
HoIloman beats him in self-control. While
the doctor was lying in wait for deer one
day several fine turkey gObblers came
within fifteen or twenty steps of him, In
plain view, but he was after deer then,
turkeys being too small to induce shot.
The judge thinks turkeys wouldn't be safe

deer. The party went west thirty-fve

L1rTELL's LIVING AGE FOR 1892.

This standard periodical, founded in
1914, has nearly reached its jubilee. Its
success is as remarkable as its age.
A weekly magazine, it gives over
three and quarter thousand large and
well-filled pages of reading matter
forming four large volumes-every year.
Its frequent issues and ample space en-
able it to present with freshness and
completeness the ablest essays, reviews
and criticisms, the choicest stories, the
most interesting sketches OF travel and
discovery, the best poetry, and the most
valuable biographical, historical, scien-
tific, and political information from the
entire body of foreign periodical litera-
ture, and from the pens OF the most emf
nent living writers.
As the only satisfactorily complete
compilation of the best current litera-
ture, it is invaluable in these busy
times 1t easily enables its readers to
keep abreast with the literary and scien-
tific progress of the age and with the
work of the foremost writers Of the time.
The subscription price (SS a year, is
low for the amount of reading furnished,
while the publishers make a still cheaper
offer, viz: TO send the Living Age and
any one of the American four-dollar
monthlies or weeklies, a year, both post
paid, for $40 80; thus furnishing to the
subscriber at small cost the cream of
both home and foreign literature. To
any subscriber desiring TO take more
than one other periodical in connection
with the Living Age, the publishers will
forward clubbing-rates on application.
They also offer to send to all new sub
scrlbers for the year 1892. renting be

A new method for collecting mails in
towns and cities where the free delivery
system is provided will go into effect the
first week in January. The plan is to
place boxes in stores, offices, buildings,
dwellings, etc. The government will
not furnish boxes, but each person who
wants one will buy it. There is no law
compelling this, and business men and
householders simply consult their own
convenience. The contrivance looks
something like an ordinary lamp post
letter box on small scale. 1t is at
tached to the front door and is rather
decorative than otherwise. The postman
places letters in one compartment for
delivery, and takes the letters for mail
ing out Of another.
