KANSANS ON THE G.. a. r.


The Farmers Alliance of Kansas
permit no doubt as to their attitude to-
ward the Grand Army of the Republic.
AS the Kansans stand as sponsors for
the Alliance of the whole North, logi-
cally we are driven to the conclusion that
action taken by the Alliance OF
that State will be endorsed by the ALI
ance of every other Northern State.
Then G. A. r. men hear the resolution
recently adopted at an Alliance meeting
in Kansas presided over by Senator
elect Peffer:
RESOLVED, That we condemn the organization
known as the Grand Army of the Republic, organ
lied for the purpose of preyng upon the United
States treasury, and thereby flching from the peO
pie, in the form of pensions, money not their due
We also condemn the membership of said organi
Zation for pressing upon and demanding of the
people the right to hold Office and be recognized
as an active factor in the politics of the country
Their right to vote we do not question; but theil
right to dictate or suggest political action and a
political party, we denounce, and we, the repre-
sentatives of the reform (Alliancel movement, dc
hereby pledge ourselves to resist such presump
ton on the part generally of the eX-UniOn soldier
but especially of the Grand Army of the Republic.
No Democratic convention would dare
pass such a resolution, but this act OF
paramount ingratitude and meanness is
reserved for the plainsmen of Kansas
Can the intelligent farmers of Ohio,
who with their fathers and brothers
fought to preserve the Union, ally them
selves with party passing such reso-
lutionF Oil and water would as soon
mix.

BARNEsvILLE-ToTAL VALUATION
AN UNNATURAL FATHER.

y H.
On Sunday morning, near Pleasant
Grove, as a result of a drunken spree
James W. Beck fired load of shot into
the right side of his son, Frank Beck,
aged 20 years. The elder Beck had been
at Bridgeport on Saturday, and as was
usual under such circumstances, went
home loaded with fighting whisky, and
in addition had sufficient supply to last
him two or three days. 1t has been his
habit when drunk to drive his family out
of the house, and in all his actions to be-
come veritable demon This time was
no exception, and upon his arrival at
home, trouble was at once precipitated.
On Sunday morning he was still drunk,
and becoming enraged at his son for
some fancied injury, the father made a
dash at the son with a knife but was
disarmed before he did any injury He
at once procured shot gun, with the
result as stated. The wound is serious.
36 shot and slug having been taken
from it, but is thought not to be fatal,
The father was at once arrested, waived
preliminary hearing before Squire
Mercer on Monday, and was held under
bond to await the result of his sons in
juries and the action of the Grand Jury.

THE proposal of Representative Nc
Kelvey for second place on the Repub-
lican State ticket, has been received
with much favor throughout the State.
A Columbus dispatch of Friday says:
The latest candidate for place on the Republican
State ticket is Representative A 7. McKelvey, of
Belmont county, whose friends are urging him for
the Lieutenant Governorship. Mr.. McKelvey, who
is practical farmer, has served four years in the
House, and all the time was a member of the
Finance Committee and, as such, rendered signal
service to the State. He is an excellent paIlia-
mentarian, careful and painstaking legislator,
and was among the foremost champions of organ
lied labor in the last two General Assemblies.
All this is true. Mr.. McKelvey would
receive the unanimous support of his
county, and, if nominated, would make
avigorous and hustling champion, well
in keeping with that sure to be made by
the predestined head of the ticket.

THE FARMERS BENEFIT.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
To say that farmers are not benefited
by the advanced price of their products
is misleading. Those of them who have
held on to their grain until this time
share in the profits of the advance.
They may be called spectators, and so
they are, but theirs is legitimate specu-
lation. Farmers who sold their products
early, whether by choice or necessity,
can not fairly claim a share in the sea
sons advances. There is no help for
them as We can see. The advance in
farm products during the year has been
perfectly natural. 1t came from large
demands on shortened supply. Spec
ulation has had nothing to do with it.
There are no grain trusts or syndicates,
or corners that we know of. The
speculation that we hear most about is
by men who do not hold what they as
sume to trade in. They are simply
making wagers with one another on
what the market will be at certain
times in the future.
But there must be more or less
speculation in farm products. Men of
capital who make market for the
farmers crops, who take them whenever
offered, and pay for them and run the
chances of markets in the future, are
not looked upon in agricultural COM
munitieS as an evil. The man who sells
a. thing at satisfactory price should
not complain if he who buys from him
makes something on his purchase. 1t
| is narrow, selfish principle-an I'M
commercial one, in fIct- or man to
insist that he should make it all in a
trade. There are men who, in trans
action, are more happy to make half a
dollar and find the other party has lost
! half dollar, than to make whole
dollar and allow the other fellow a
chance to make another. This is the
disposition that is to blame for much of
| the discomfort in the business affairs of
! the world.
Now, to say that the outlook for
| farmers is not encouraging is nonsense.
! Those who have wheat, corn or oats on
hand are well off. Those who have beef
cattle coming into readiness for the
market should be happy. If the coming
harvest is bountiful-they will prosper.
There is a demand which, however
heavy the yield the ensuing season, will
insure profitable prices.

THE nomination this fall of candi
date for Representative is a matter Of
unusual Importance. The election of a
U. S. Senator, the complexion of the
Ohio delegation in Congress and many
other important political questions de-
pends on a Republican Legislature
The result must not be jeopardized by
putting forth any one but the strongest
man, the best man, man who is pos
sessed of ability and judgment and
tantamount to all this, true and un-
flinching Republican. There is no doubt
that the Democracy will make desper-
ate struggle in old Belmont, but they
must be knocked out the same as in the
past. Look around and select the best
man for the place and the result will
assume no doubt.
