From the Dispatch
Mr.. Rearick has gust completed quite

town.
The railroad men had good deal of
undesirable experience in bucking snow
last week.
L. L. Durand came home FROM the
railroad hospital last week. His arm IS

Hon. M. w. Cobun left today for
Topeka to take up bis duties in the leg
islative halls of the state. He will be
one of the strongest members of the
house.
We understand that three persons in
Hoisington have shown a desire to pay
a monthly fine of $40 each and gsve
bond for the running Of orderly places,
for the privilege of selling liquor IN town.
This would be better than an open busi-
ness with no profit to the city.

Barton County DEMOCRAT. The writer
signs himself eTry." The editor replies
thus:
TASK St. Caraway-he poses as the
high muck a-muck of the party which
forces the prohibitory law down the
throats of the other fellows, while the
joint beer gurgles merrily down the
copper lined esophagus of the prohibi-
ton for policy only republican. Try
Caraway, ''Gry"
1t is quite evident that TRY" did aot
get what he sought at the hands of the
DEMOCRAT, and his item simply amounts
to nothing, as it only gave the DEMO
cRART a chence to bemean she Register
which will of course, open the way for
the Register to run another half-column
of slang against the DEMOCRAT, which
will not help the Prohibitory law one
iota.

Caraway Broke Loose Again.

Readers OF the DEMOCRAT will par.
don US for further reference to sub-
ject that is of little interest to the pub
| Tic generally, We refer to the self-con-
| ceited braggart and self-confessed har
who controls the waning destinies Of
the Register and poses as great moral
example OF political, purity and -mental
| virtue. After deyoting week to
prayer and eXhOrtation he again pouro
| out the vialS OF his mouth upon the
editor of this paper, and endeavors to
create an impression that he is a great
big tin god who is numerically perst-
cuted by the public in general and
the DEMOCRAT in particular.
Last week he denies everything cor
rupt that he has been charged with
doing, and calls for proof As the
proof" has been before the public in
all its hideOusness, and he stands con
demned already, we shall not bore Our
| readers with d repetition of it. As to
his desire that we put our finger oil
ANY black spot in his record,' we could
touch his record anywhere and the
tinger would show the smut of contain
| ination, therefore We beg to be excused.
We had vaguely hoped that, since he
had professed religion and was taken
into the bosom of the noble workers for
the reform of the wicked he would see
the error of his way and Try and be
| Come gentleman. In this hope we
| We're disappointed. for the issue of the
Register of last week proves couclu-
sively that be proposes to continue to
lie and slander through his paper and
do his religious act on the outside.
The DEMOCRAT las never sought
personal quarrel with the Register, it
! has pursued a conrse that has resulted
in checkmating many political move
| of the republican ring which has so long
controlled that party in this county.
| and it has thereby Incurred the bitter
enmity of the select few composing that
| ring, chief among whom is Morgan
Caraway, man whose whole life, as
tar as we are able To learn. has been
devoted to political intrigue, and who
| has ever sought to foist himself upon
the public and draw sustenance from
| the pnblic Golfers. Having been check
! mated in his many little political
schemes, aud he having no way of in
| juring the editor of the DEMOCRAT in
| a political way, lie steps TO the low
method of personal abuse and unwar-
ranted yilifcation. not having a suffi-
cient amount of aeumen TO perceive
that such "a course would but further
| brand him As a rascal in the eyes OF his
ONT readers. When he has thus
resorted to bis disgraceful method we
have answered his charges in IA manner
of self defense; in many instances
avoiding the prolongatinn of d fight
that we know has little interest to oar
readers.
If it is possible that he still posses
ses any elements of manhood, any
sense of right and justice, he viii write
in private as he prays III public; he will
humble himself before his God and ASK
that the spirit of evil may depart from
him, that his mind may be cleansed of
its foulness and his hand stayed in
its ruthfuiness of self obstruction aud
publit cOrruptIon.

CoNCLUDED NEXT WEE:
Breakers Ahead,

The alliance legislators are not going
to have smooth sailing in the present
session of the legislature. There are
laid, and if half that is published is
true, some of the head men in the alli-
ance are ION the make" and are plan
ming with the old corrupt republican
out of the senatorial fight. The Advo-
cate, of Topeka, last week published
letter from Congressman Turner to
McGrath, of the state alliance organj-
zation which would indicate that there
is a large sized senatorial bee in Cor
gresham Turner's bonnet. and a rot.
ten state of affairs III the ''inner
circle.'
Turner says, in his letter, he has no
money to spend Ill fight for U. S.
senator; but IF l succeed continues
the congressman. Il could and would
put up $1,000 bat it is difficult to use it
that way: that is, promise in case OF
success; yet you may have some friends
who would be willing to take such
chances"
The sweet scented republican con-
gresham further states, IN his letter to
McGrath, that I'VE will pass that bill
to establish that U. S. judicial district.
and l can have q. S. marshal and
clerk; the first changes with adminis-
trations and the clerk is for life. But
guess you kao,o take care of ma
friends.
The entire letter talks out plainly of
huge republican job, and the COM
ments of the Advocate oare hot at all
| complimentary to the parties engaged
in tie deal.
Frank McGrath. the president of the
farmers, alliance in Kansas, was a re-
publican until after the republican con-
| vention in the sixth district last sum-
| mer. He went into the convention to
secure Congressman Turner a renom-
ination. When Turner was defeated
by Webb McNall, after a memorable
contest, McGrath Went over to the ALI
ance. At the annual meeting of the
alliance in November he was elected its
| president. He is regarded as the
| shrewdest politician in that organiza-
| ton.

result of that law has been to embar-
rass the effective working of the roads,
to hinder economics in management, to
diminish earnings, and to increase
working expenses. Still more unjust
and still more obstructive have been the
restraints of the Granger laws and the
intruSiOnS of state commissioners. In
the states MOST addicted to these inter-
thee oldest and best-established COM
panies have been brought dangerously
close to the verge of bankruptcy, while
the market value of their shares has
been reduced by nearly one-half.
Whatever any interest may have to
argue in defense of this crippling of the
chief instrnmentality of commerce, the
fact is not to be questioned that the
impairment has been an important
factor in producing the fundamental
financial arrangements from which the
country has been and is still suffering.
The extraordinary creation of new
buildings may be regarded as another
branch of the speculative imitation. In
nearly all parts of the country there
seems to have been, in respect TO both
dwellings and business structures, d
large anticipation of the future wants
of population. The following state
ments of the number and value of new
buildings officially registered in New
York city during the first eleven
months of 1899, compared with certain
preceding years, may suffice for Illus
tration on this point:

which diverted an eqaal amount of
lOanable funds from ordinary market
use and aggravated the stringeney of
loans at the incipiency of the crisis. The
enactment of the Mckinley tariff also
contributed its quota to the general de-
moralization, by causing importers to
make large prepayments of duties;
which involved the double misfortune
of transferring several millions of cash
from the banks to the treasury and in
creasing the demands of the importers
for bank accommodation. Thus concur
chronic disease, came accidents which
seriously disabled Wall Street for re-
sisting the mischief.

believe will assist in bringing great many

Buckley was seen at his house today and asked
as TO the cause of the excitement about his
leaving the Pacific coast He said he had come
away under his PHYSICIANS orders. He
had already tried different parts of Eu-
rope, and now recommended to
try a dry, cold climate. II, when
the winter sets in he is not benefited he will go
home. The grand jury, he said, was an Illegal

they went out of power in January he would
have no further annoyance. There was need
to extradite. He would go back in good time,
and if necessary, would tell all he knew of the
transactions in which he had taken part He
added that when he began talking his enemies
would not be SO anxious to hear his story.
