The News and few other democrats
lean to this party, not because they

How the World Sees Il.

1t is well that Kansas has a great
crop. Through the agency of mis-
chIeYous politicians word has gone to
the ends of the earth that Kansas is
crowded with ''mortgaged, y blank
rupt," corn burning" miserable set
of people, upon the verge of starva-
tion." In the east a family who would
propose moving to Kansas would at
once call for the pray ers and cOmmise-
ration Of their neIghbOrs. 1t will take
Kansas ten years to overcome the
mischief done by these shriekers.
Who has been helped? PETER and
SOckleSs Simpson and q few other
noisy politicians. Every man who
owns town lot or a farm has been
injured by the raid Chicago Inter.
Ocean.
Every member of. the peoples party,
every man who has encouraged the
doctrine Of reputation and calamity
that this party has spread abroad is to
a degree responsible for Kansas demol
ished credit and her bad name. Hun
dreds of papers that come to the edi-
torial desk of this paper from the
leading cities of the country repeat the
sentiment expressed above and in the
midst of a bOuntifpl harvest, with
grain, fruit and all that nature can
provide in abundance the state is
Stunned and disgraced. 1t is time to
stop. Be a friend of the state you
live in and repudiate her regulators.
He is an enemy of his commonwealth
who with the facts before him, as they
are before every thinking man, gives en-
TO those who are seeking
to drag Kansas name still lower in the
dust.

statesman is filling the air of Ohio.
Mr.. Mills is in the immovable gloom
of crank on calamity. In the United
States, to which every civilized nation
is looking with hourly greater intent
Eess as the most prosperous and blessed
country on the globe, Mr.. Mills hears
only the sounds of wretchedness and
complaint, and the "scOuTge that is
driving cOntentment out of so many
homes"
This is the sort of mania that will
not elect a democratic president in
1892, if that is what Mr.. Mills is inter
ested in. He may invite the country
to go crazy with him, but the country
won't go. Mr.. Mills and companions
in pes5imistic philosophy had better go
back to Texas.
Kansas can sympathize with the
Buckeye state. We have some calam-
ityites out here too, but we propose to
demolish them as badly as Ohio will
demOralize its poverty preachers.

A HYpocrite's Reward.

The News appears to be angry. 1t
is very angry indeed. 1t appears to be
mad. 1t is violently mad. In its
wrath it says and does a great many
very rash and very foolish things. In
attempting to correct a ridiculous
blunder which it made in attacking the
COMMUNICATIONS of this county, it
has brought upon itself both the con-
tempt and the ridicule of the people.
Its herculean efforts to divert the
public attention from its wanton insult
of one of the most numerous, intelli
gent and prosperous classes of our
citizens, by malicious and personal
attack upon one of the business men of
the county, is pitiabie in the extreme.
Mr., Case is not a German-American
He is not candidate for any Office.
He has not taken any part in the con-
troversy between the News and that
class OF our foreign population which
the News so wantonly insulted.
Mr.. Hoffman is abundantly able to
take care of himself and to place all his
cetractors on the defensive, as is fully
demonstrated by the effect which his
two letters have had upon our Cedar
street contemporary. A red rag shaken
at bull would not have produced mo. e
madness than the News displays.
Mr.. Hoffman is one of that class of
our citizens who believe in developing
the natural resources and industries of
our county. He has not only advocated
home industries but he has gone to
work and developed them. He has
built up milling business in Enter
prise which is second to none in this
state. He, with others including Mr..
Case, has built up a manufacturing
industry in our midst which is the
pride Of every citizen of the county. |
AT the same time he has paid to the
farmers upon an average more for their
wheat and corn than they could get at
any other market in the county. The
machine shop has paid its hands better
wages than any other like establish
ment in the state. These two indus

only a political demagugue who would
undertake to decry against these indus
tries for the purpose of advancing the
interests of any political party.
But when a newspaper is willing to
abandon all of its own political princi-
pies because it hates somebody OF
some party, it is not surprising that it
should resort to personal and malicious
defamation of private character to
accomplish its purpose. The News
has publicly stated that it does not
believe in either of the three cardinal
principles of the peoples party. 1t
says it does not believe in the sub
treasury or land loan schemes, nor in
the government ownership of railroads
Take these doctrines away and there is
nothing left of the peoples party plat
form. Yet the News is willing to
swallow these visionary schemes,
renOunce its own political faith and
stultify its political conscience, if it
ever had any, simply because it hates
somebody. 1t is offering its support to
the ticket of that party whose princi-
pies it despises. 1t is willing 10 assail
the industries which have been built
up in our county; it is willing to
defame the character of private indi-
viduals in order to elect to office a set
Of men whose political creed it pro-
nounces as ''impracticable and vision
ary." Is it any wonder that a news
paper so utterly devoid of political
principle should be found wading in
the slough and filth of the "mudsling-
arS,,

The WaY Out.

The Emporia Republican gives the
republican farmers who are in the
alliance some admirable advice on how
to get out OF the third party move
ment, as they become convinced that it
IS scheme opposed to good govern
ment and good sense. 1t says: The
way for these farmers to get out is to
couTage0usly walk out. There need
be no embarrassment. The conditions
fully warrant such a course. Let
them say to their fellow farmers: 1--WE
will stay with you in the alliance as it
was first organized, but we have had
enough of this party business; we are
making ourselves ridiculous, running a
little side show here for the democratic
party, and we are going to quit.
Hereafter we vote the republican
ticket" The southern alliance people
of course, will not like this. They
will not go into the third party them
selves but they want Kansas to stick
to it. Neither will the old greenback
and union labor leaders like it. They
are at the front now for the first time
in many years, and it would greatly
disgust them to have to get back
where they belong. But nevertheless
this is the thing for the loyal Kansas
farmer to do, and he is seeing it in
this light more and more every day.
1t is not necessary to abandon the
alliance; keep it running as a nom
partisan organization-like they do in
the south. Farmers can work their
reforms through the republican party
more rapidly and more surely than in
any other way; that is, their reasonable
reforms. Sub-treasury and land loan
absurdities they can never make work
through any party, new or old.
