party will have their minds wholly dis
abused of such an idea by perusing the
election returns from democratic Ken
lucky. The best speakers of the third
party were sent to Kentucky. PETER,
Simpson, Lease and all the shining
lights of the fraternity, labored night
and day to induce the bourbons to de-
sert the banners Of democracy. Not
withstanding these herculanean efforts
the peoples party failed to decimate
the ranks of democracy to any appreci-
able extent. 1t did fairly good work
for the main tent as a democratic side
show. The democrats carry their state
ticket By $4,000 plurality. The state
senate will stand democrats IS, repub-
licans 10, peoples 1. The house, demo-
Gratis SO, republicans Is, peoples y.
The result of this election ought to
open the eyes of the alliance men Of
this state who did not join the alliance
for the purpose of promoting the in
terests of the democratic party.
Whatever the alliance republican may
believe politically he must now see
that his advances toward bridging the
"bloOdy chasm' are not to be reciprO-
Gated by democrats in the south, but
he who was formerly a democrat is
still democrat and will remain so
down the ages. In all of the great
state of Kentucky less than 10000 men
voted the peoples party ticket. Prob
ably one half of these were formerly
democrats, the other half union labor
Independents and republicans. This is
indeed a sorry slow for the great
effort that has been made and the
great predictions of the peoples party
leaders. But such a result has been
predicted by those who have stood by
the republican faith throughout.
President McGrath and a number of
other prominent alliance men of this
state have said that if the new party
was for the sole purpose of use in the
northern states, they would have none
of it. Mr.. McGrath and his colleagues
who were republicans year ago must
learn from this election in this typical
southern state that the third party is
only for practical use in elections in
northern states, and only in such of
as have heretofore usually given re-
publican majorities.

Kelley's consistency.

EX-Congressman Harrison Kelley is
determined that Hon. N. B. Nicholson
shall not monopolize all the bridge
| burning business; so he has started a
little contlagration of his own lower
down on the NeOsho. Mr.. Kelley is
principally noted for the indicative
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS speech which he
made on Memorial day, 1889, when
enjoying the nOn-partisan hospitality
of the citizens Of Fl. Smith, Arkansas.
In that speech he took occasion to tell
what great things lie proposed to do
when he should reach the national
capitol, even if he ''had to resort to
martial law" From the letter pub
lished in yesterdays dispatches it may
be inferred that all the great prognos-
ticatiOns of the then new congress-
man went glimmering" as soon as he
reached Washington.
Mr.. Kelley devotes a half column in
his endeavor to give reasons why he
he has Joined the new party. Simmer
ed down to facts his reasons for aban-
doning the republican party and
uniting with the peoples party are
three: His first reason is the failure of
the republicans to pass the federal
election bill and thereby vindicate the
position taken by Mr.. Kelley, when he
violently Haunted The ensanguined gar
ment in the face of the ex-confederate
soldiers at Fit. Smith in 1889. The
second reason is that he does not believe
in the ''sub-treasury scheme" as pro-
mulgated in the several peoples party
platforms; and the third reason is that
he does not believe in the "land loan
scheme" of the alliance which has
proven such a sweet morsel to the
tongues of PETER and Simpson. These
appear to be the reasons given by Mr..
Kelley for his sudden change of heart.
They are fundamental and a conscien-
tiOus man who is sincere in his politi-
cal BELIEFS and who desires to have the
democratically -alliaucely- denominated
"Force bill'' revived and enacted into a
law, and who is in favor of defeating
the "sub-treasuTy" and ''land loan1
schemes which were SO enthusiastically
endorsed by the Cincinnati convention,
ought Immediately to attach himself
to the peoples party. Kelley's reasons
for attaching himself to the peoples
party are satisfactory. he will find
congenial companions at the other end
of the bridges.

This is what Kansas is looking to.
1t is what the whole people may look
to. We cannot prosper upon theories.
We must grow upon substantial facts.
Now, while eastern capitalists are
afraid to speculate and while eastern
banks are afraid to encourage speeula.
tors, and while they are afraid to loan
money upon anything that is not equiv
alent to gold, the country is progress
ing in a direction that may stimulate
speculation to a remarkable degree.
at any rate the people of this country
may rely upon one thing, which is this:
that we shall have enough to feed the
people cheaply, and that, in addition,
we shall have enough to supply the
demand from Europe to make up the
deficiency in the crops there, and that
there shall be no doubt as to the growth
and prosperity of this country.
1t will take time, and not much time
either, TO demonstrate this, but the
time is at hand and no one who bases
his confidence on the crops need be
afraid that there will be any trouble
in regard 20 the railroad traffic or the
finances or the great financial industries
of the United States.

There you 90 again. How ignorant
man can be when ne wishes to is
abundantly shown in the entire trend
of the democratic argument on the tin
question. So oYer-anxious is the party
to make capital against protection and
the republican party that it stops at no
Misrepresentation.
But the opponents Of American tin
plate are getting very little comfort
from the facts as they develop ip re-
gard to that article. There is not as
yet an immense amount OF it on the
market. 1t will take time and money
to prepare to make tin-plate in suai-
cieDt quantaties to supply the Ameri-
can market. A considerable quantity
is already being turned out daily by a
few concerns and several others with
capital and brains are preparing to
place superior goods before American
buyers. Before six months the doubt
eTs will be surprised at the progress
made in producing tin-plate in Amer
lea, The new labor-saying machinery
for making tin-plate that, before very
long, will be operating in the American
factories will astonish the world. 1t
will be found that the Mckinley bill
has given American genius its oppor-
tunity and that there has been no hesi-
fancy in embracing it.
In the meantime good tin-plate is be-

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
A Model School for Kansas Students
The Opening Year.

~ NRSA1A0 @SoA'
The second quarter-century in the
life of the university of Kansas will be
begun with the opening of the academic
year of 1912. In twenty-five years
the university has attained a high
place among American universities
and colleges and no Kansas boy or girl
need leave the state to get a higher
education.
The university now comprises the
department of science, literature and
the arts, the school of law, the school
of engineering, the school of pharmacy
and the school of music and art. The
faculty numbers thirty-seven, exclusive
of instructors in the gymnasial depart
ments of the school Of music and art
and paid lecturers in the law. Five
buildings are fully occupied, which
with the grounds are valued at 1884,
600. The apparatus of instruction,
including library OF $4,000 volumes,
collections in natural history compris-
ing $50, 900 specimens, physical, astro-
nomical, chemical and engineering
apparatus, isvalued at Sl61 900. There
is no preparatory department and
candidates for admission must be
prepared to enter the freshman class.
Certificates from recognized state high
schools relieve the candidate from
entrance examinations. Tuition in all
departments of the university is free.
The fall term begins September 8, for
the school of law, September 10.
General catalogue and special cata-
logues of the schools of law, pharmacy
and music and art will be sent on ap-
plication to Chancellor T. H. Snow,
Lawrence.
