CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The wheat market was
extremely quiet to-day and prices changed
very narrow. and while a firm undertone v as
maintained most Of the day there was at no
time any decided strength. Corn shows very
little life for sellers this year. and kept steady
at 54155c; there is but little demand and il be-
gins to look as if shorts had pretty well evened
up on the big scare of Wednesday last The
nervousness seems to be extending into Janu-
airy, and that the future was higher with shorts
and active buyers. Receipts of contract corn
are still light, with only 10 cars to-day out of
S43 and there is a growing apprehension as to
how shorts will be filed. May was steady within

AGAIN ON DECK.

The editor Of the Peoples Advo-
cate, OF Coldwater, Kansas, whose
press and type were recently stolen
and scattered over the prairies of
Comanche county, announces himself
as again ready for business. The
Capital, with It's usual accuracy, in
giving an account Of the outrage,
stated that the Peoples Advocate was
Republican paper, and that the
Office was robbed by Alliance men.
The fact is the paper is a fearlessly
Outgpoken Peoples party paper, and
the outrage was committed by the
old party bOodlers because of this
fact. The editor says:
The Advocate Office Is again fitted up with
press and other necessary material 10 grind ont
terror to the Doodle gang, and we tender the
gang Of braves who visited our Office short time
ago during our absence an invitation TO call
again; and as an inducement TO call we volun-
teer the Information that we have dOuble.bar-
relied shotgun Of the breech loading pattern and
a l4-Caliber Smith & WesSOn revolver In readl-
ness 70 fire q salute In honor OF their arrival.
While their visit will In all probability be neCes.

them in style becoming the dignity Of such
braves.

never have attained its present power
OK accumulated It's millions Of capital
except through the system Of rebates
granted by transportation lines which
enabled it to drive all competitors
out OF the field. These things have
been permitted to continue by the
parties in power until the old saying
that "any man in this country can en-
gage in any legitimate business upon
terms Of equality with every other
man" is no longer true in any sense.
From Kansas subscribers, also
comes the demand for active steps
toward the new party movement as
the only hope Of the people; and
one correspondent is inclined TO prod
THE ADVOCATE for being too slow in
It's advocacy Of this movement We
are inclined 10 believe that this writer
has not been a close student Of The
ADVOCATE. II there is one thing that
we have advocated from the very
first issue Of the paper down to the
present time, it is the independent
party movement. AS stated by some
Of our correspondents, we regard it
as the only hope Of the people We
shall be heard from upon this sub
ieCt to the satisfaction Of the most ca
thusiastio advocate of the indepen-
dent party.

WHAT OV A NEW PARTYG

We are in receipt Of several letters
during the past week respecting the
necessity of the new party movement.
One Of these comes from Margaret.
Vile, New York. This writer treats
of the great combinations of capital
that now control nearly all the indus
tries Of the country and Of the favor
itim by which they have been ena-
bled 20 gain this control. He shows
that the Standard Oil Company could

reports are simply lies, That is the
plain English and the plain truth in
this matter.
While commenting upon the above
clipping, we will add casually that
this talk Of Republican papers about
anarchy is IN bsd taste just now in
view Of the testimony taken before
the Legislative committee investigat-
ing the COffeyville dynamite outrage,
We advise Republican editors who
have so much to say about anarchy
to get that testimony and read it, not
in the Topeka Capital, but from Che
stenographer's report There is a
vast difference in the stenographer's
and the CCpitaFO report We shall
give some choice selections from this
testimony Verbatim ct iteratim in

BROTHER j. B. FRENCH, secretary Of
the State Alliance, has handed us a
set Of resolutions adopted by the de-
batting club Of Racine, Wisconsin,
thanking Che Kansas State Alliance
for its independent political action,
and for It's demonstration of the abil-
ity OF the people to manage their own
affairs without regard to Doodle poll

words Of encouragement and assur-
ances Of cooperation in future con-

ment Of about S8,OOO,OOO,OOO Of prin-
cipal and interest OF tho public debt
When we went 10 tho official records
and showed that every dollar Of this
interest bearing debt was a clean
Republican steal, and that the gov
emment actually issued during the
war $73900OOOO more OF non-interest
bearing currency than was necessary
TO pay all It's expenses without the
necessity Of a single interest bearing
bond, and when we quoted good Re
publican authority proving this TO be
Che result Of a CunniugIy devised con-
spiracy 10 create milliOnaires at the
expense Of Che masses OF the people,
the Capital remained as silent as the
tomb respecting this historic fact.
We did not expect a candid discus
sion Of this question. We hardly OK
pected that 10 would benoticed in any
manner, and in this we have not been
disappointed. The display Of en-
sanguined under-garments, and the
manufacture of specials 10 the CGpj-
tor maligning and ridiculing and
falsifying the people of Kansas COM
pletely absorbs Che attention OF the
editorial force OF that journal,
and there is no time in that Office
TO deal with stubborn facts such
as were presented IN THE ADVOCATE
Of February l1th. We would be glad
TO have some good Republican jour
nalist enlighten us upon two ques-
tions relating TO this subject. First
Who got the $739,OOO,OOO issued by
the government in the various kinds
OF non-interest bearing currency over
and above the entire expenses of the
government SecOnd--InasmuCh as
sufficient amount Of nOn-inter0st
bearing currency was actually issued
TO pay all expenses OF Che govern
ment, what reason can be given for
the issue Of nOn-tsxable interest bear
ing bonds? Will some good Repub-
