PACIFIC Rural Press: The farmer
has at last broken the spell that
bound him. He has smashed the TIA
ditions Of centuries. He has kicked
out the shafts and is running away,
and the men who have driven him
with tight reins are hurled into the
ditch and crushed beneath the wheels.
1t has been so sudden they hardly
know what struck them. Some say
it is a cyclone and will soon blow
over. Old man Tradition rubs his
hands, forces a smile through his
chatteringg teeth, says he knows il is
cold day, but then he looks for
farmer weather tomorrow. But he
is not sure of his own prophecy. The
trouble is, the people have begun to
thInk-the masses of the people, the
old farmer, the patient beast Of bur
den, who has t0iled for ages that
others might reap.

GOVERNOR Humphrey has appointed
on the new board Of public works,
John H. Smith, Of Cherokee county;
Sol. Miller, Of Doniphan, and James
s. Emery, Of Douglas county. Mr..
Smith is secretary of the Republican
state central committee, whose county
showed Republican loss Of over
2,1OO in 1890 from the vote of 1883.
Mr.. Miller is the bourbon Republican
Of the Troy Chief, whose county auf-
iered less Republican loss than any
other in the state last year, and Mr..
Emery has politics that are some
what inde6nabIe, and his county
showed q Republican loss Of 1000

OLD KENTUCKY AND YOUNG KANSAS.
This first named state. which was
as strongly Republican in it's politics
in 1890 as was Kansas, ''the $4,000
Republican majority state in 1885,"
had twenty-nine Of it's 119 counties
Republican, while Kansas furnished
fifteen counties of 1O6 that gave Gov
ernor Humphrey actual msjorities.
These fifteen counties are all spsrsely
settled ones, except Doniphan, which
has the only editor in Kansas who
supported ex-President Fillmore in
1866 for president. The Democrats
at their state convention in Kentucky
refused TO entertain q resolution en-
dorsing ex-President Cleveland, and
on silver and the tariff they thus re-
solved:
We insist that tariff reform is the paramount
question before the American people, and de-
n0unCe the Mckinley bill % the most outrageous
scheme Of taxation ever passed In the American
Congress. It has increased the burdens already
too great upon the neceSSarles OF life, and re.
duced taxes on luxuries that are most able to
bear them. It has made existence harder for
every farmer and wage Garner In the land In or
der that the profits Of the monopolies and trusts
may be Increased. 1t robS the many to enrich
the few, and does not open the market for sim
gle buShel Of wheat or . single barrel Of pork.
In contrast with It Is the policy Of Grover Oleve-
land and John G. Carlisle, which would diScour-
age unnecessary expenditure, provide all needed
revenue, cheaper what we buy and open the
markets Of the world to the products Of our
farms and factories.
Recognizing the fact that the United States is
the greatest silver producing country In the
world, and that both gold and silver were
equally the money OF the constitution from the
beginning Of the government until the hostile
and fraudulent legislation Of the Republican
party against silver, which unduly contracted
the circulating medium Of the country, and feel
ing chat the great interests Of the people de-
trade and trade and commerce, we tender our
gratitude TO the Democrats In the last Congress
for their almost unanimous vote In both houses
In favor Of the free coinage Of silver and de-
mand restoration to the position Of equality be-
fore the law given to 1t by our fathers.
In the Fifty-frst Congress Kansas
had nine Republicans, and of them
Hon. Edward Fl. Funston is the only
one in the Fifty-second Congress who
was q devoted supporter OF the
Mckinley tariff act, who was an
opponent Of free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and who was an open
advocate Of the Federal elections bill,
and he received but 43.9 per cent Of
the vote Of his district. Ex-Repre-
sentative Kelley Of Kansas, and Sem
ators Paddock Of Nebraska, Petit
grew of South Dakota and Plumb of
Kansas are much more in harmony
with the Kentucky Democrats on sill
YER and the tariff than they are with
Funston, Harrison, Mckinley and
Reed.
Ex-Representative Kelley, in a re-
cent interview, in referring to CORES
pondence that he had had with Sena-
tor Plumb from Washington remarked
concerning the Senator:
He is busy making inquiries, trying to get all
the information he can about the Alliance move

of the few counties of the state, which
prior to 1890, had been rather vacilla-
ting in its politics, and had but small
margins in msjorities for the Repub-
lican party. But in 1890 the Repub-
licans were in minority of 200 and
it is morally certain that the party
will be in a greater minority there IN
1892, for agitation, education and or
ganization causes light to flow into
dark places where passion and preju-
dice had to a large extent held almost
unlimited sway over judgment and
reason.
The Miami Republican is edited by
w. d. Greason, who is one of Benja-
min Hsrrison's postmssters, and as
such made one of the delegates to the
Young Mems Republican League
meeting at Cincinnati, where he de-
clared himself for Harrison for q Sec
ond term, and there he bowed him
self to the corrupt role of politics, in
giving his support to the conscience
less James S. Clsrkson for president
of the National League, who as second
assistant postmaster general, despite
the civil service statutes decapitated
postmasters with an unparalleled re-
lentless celebrity.
But the Paola Times, edited by
John w. Bell, is running on that line
of independence and selfhood that is
certainly refreshing and soul-saving,
when compared with the kind of inane
idolatry and party servility that char
acterizes the oonceited, naughty and
selt-righteous censor who gives utter
snces in and through the official state
paper of Kansas.
The Times gives at some length
"our platform" from which THE AD-
voCATE feels impressed to make Co
pious quotations, as illustrative of the
progress of one who evidently feels
that any and all forms of error has
direct tendency to damn the soul.
And thus Mr.. Bell, of the Times,
declares himself devoted to the restor-
alton of the farms of the nation to
the citizens of the nation; an equal
distribution of protection and of the
money of the nation to the whole peo-
pie; the suppression Of ruinous,
trusts and combines against produc-
ton and trade; the equalization of
transportation rates of all kinds,
whether freight, passenger, express
or telegraph; the suppression of old
party buncombe; the election of all
officers by direct vote Of the people;
the land basis as security for a ma
tional currency equally distributed;
the recovery Of the millions of acres
of public lands squandered on rail-
roads never built; the passage of
equitable laws to compel big land
holders to surrender their vast sur
plus land to actual settlers; the pro-
hibition of alien lsndlordism; the

A Natural Conclusion,

It is natural that those who have
been deceived by the various nos
trums that are continually offered to
thepublic should demand a mrre SUBJ
stantial testimonial than the simple
declaration Of those who are inter-
ested in the sale of a medicine. Re-
cognizing the justice f this demand,
the Swift Specific rs. S. ST. Compa-
ny, of Atlanta, have embodied in
pamphlet form a few Of the more
noteworthy testimonials that have
come to them unsolicited. This

esting matter, they will take pleasure

OUR HERETO.

The trial Of Rev. DR.. Briggs
for heresby Is a matter OF very
considerable popular interest.
Our Presbyterian friends are
hardly aware OF the fact, hut it
is a fact nevertheless, that 81
Tar as the publ, is concerned
it is not DR.. Briggs but the
Presbyterians themselves who
are really on trial.
The general mind runs little
loose, possibly ia matters OF
dogmatic theology. The great
body OF churcbgoers get no
comfort from a purely doctrinal
sermon, and under its infliction
are apt to doze. 1t is juiceless
and wholly without profit. The
average man doesn't want to
be instructed in a creed, bat in
his daily duties. Tie preacher OH
predestlnation is pretty sure to
talk to empty pews; the minister
who tells Us how to be hall
decent, whe pounds into our
hearts the necessity OF honesty
and boldly scores us for short
comings, never lacks a con-
gregatioD. In d word, the
world has swung out of SYM
palhy with mere dogmas. The
sweep and drift of opinion is
toward what is called practical
religion, which deals with the
best methods OF extracting
from life all the happiness there
is it in and with the hopes OF
heaven when we fall into oul
last and dreamless sleep.
A trial for heresy therefore
seems anomalous. To silence
such a man as Briggs, withdraw
from him the encouragement OF
the church, impair and handi-
cap his usefulness. because he
thinks this or that dogma
should be 80 modified that i,

and has such a flavor Of intol.

unDleaSantly disturbed,

DR.. Briggs does not stand
alone in his convictions. Many
of the best minds of the age

sentiments may be judged from
the fear very generally express
ed that this trial will end by
splitting the body of which he
has heretofore been an hnnorei
and favored member.
However, this is not oul
concern. The gentlemen who
have the trial III charge are il
every way competent to the
grave duty assigned them. They
