BAD POLITICS.

The Atchison Champion, under
the above title, reads the Alliance pa
pers lecture which merits consider
alton. The following paragraph will
indicate the Champions thought:
1t is no more good politics for Alliance news
papers to indiscrlminately assail the Republican
or Democratic parties than 1t is for the organs Of
those parties to aSsail It. The Alliance has a
higher and grander mission than merely to at
tempt to smash a rival political party. Its sue
cess and the achievement of the reforms 1t con-
templates are in no sense contingent upon, nor
can they be facilitated by indugng In simple
hostility to either of the old parties for the mere
sake OF smashing something.
There is q world of truth in the
above statements. The Alliance in
deed has a "higher and grander mis-
sion" than the simple destruction of
parties, but it unfortunately SO hap
pens that the parties are 80 COM
pletely dominated by plutocratic in
fluences that their destruction be-
comes necessity as a means for the
accomplishment Of that higher mis-
sion; and the hostility Of the Alliance
press to those parties should not be
understood as an indiscriminate hos

Now here are twenty.nlne roads, among
them eight or ten OF the most valuable
roads In the United States, the twenty
nine roads representing stock capital Of
1914, ,9O6, TAI, the stock shares OF which,
figuring roughly, are worth upon an av-
ersge 81 cents on the dollar. This must
serve as an illustration of what am
driving at. The notorious Missouri Pa
cifc Is only worth 66 cents on the dollar.
From the same report gather the fact
that Atchison, Topeka Il Santa Fe stock

THE HUTCHINSON NEWS ON THE MONEY
QUESTION

IL the Hutchinson Neacs really de-
sires to undertake the discussion of
the principles and demands Of the
Peoples party in good faith, with a
view of convincing the people of their
errors, it will save itself much time
and much valuable space by accept
ing those principles as the party it
self states them instead of accepting
the perversions of our enemies and
directing it's arguments against them.
Let it be understood once for all that
we are opposed to banks of issue of
every form and description; and all
the arguments brought to bear
against such banks only strengthen
our position relative to the present
banking question of the United
States. We are willing to answer
such candid efforts as the NetUS is
apparently endeavoring to make
when they really bear against any of
our positions, but we have neither
time nor space to devote to those
which are irrelevant. The colonial
currency issued in Pennsylvania and
some other colonies, under which
those colonies enjoyed the high de-
gree of prosperity described by
Hume, was not a bank currency.
We would like the NetUs to remem-
Der this fact in it's future efforts.

SOME Of our Republican exchanges
are iubilating over what they are
pleased to term "a bomb thrown into
the Alliance camp by the Texas State

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF THE
RAILROADS.

To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
In my two preceding articles l endeaV-
ored to show that the people could very
easily pay for the railroads Of the United
States In a term Of fifty years, even
though they should buy them at the
enormously fictitious valuation repre-
Sented by $S,OOO,OOO,OOO in outstanding
stocks and bonds. also demonstrated
the fact that during the first twenty
years q reduction Of 40 per cent. could

be made in per capita cost Of railroad
facilities, and that the third decade, or
period Of ten years, could be used az a
construction era, the nation building 100,-
600 miles of new road, at q cost Of $4,000
q mile, in the meanwhile leaving the cost
Of railroad facilities stationary at 5000
per capita, or $6,4O less than for the year
1890.
/ now want to take up and examine
this assertion, or claim, that the rail-
roads must necessarily cost the people
the sum of eight billions of dollars, be-
cause, forsooth, that amount Of stock
shares and railroad bonds are held by
''innocent purchasers" We will pre-
sumo that the government first exercises
It's undoubted prerogative of "eminent
domain" and condemns for public use
the national highways of the country
now being used by private individuals
for private gain. What is the next stepH
Compensation for property taken. How
and in what manner? First, by direct
offer of fair and reasonable compensa-
ton. If the offer Is refused, the second
step ls to appoint appraisers and have
them afflx valuation or damages to be
paid the owner of the property thus con-
demned for public use.
What then would be the fairest, surest
and most appropriate thing for "cOm-
mission of arbitration and RppraiSe-
ment," appointed by the people, to do, in
order to arrive at just valuation Of the
railroads of the United States? The
question should be easily answered.
They should 60 to the records of the
New York Stock Exchange and see what
their market VaIue is. That Is, by an
examination Of the record Of past sales,
they should see what private individuals
are in the habit Of paying for Railroads
when they buy them. For the owners Of
the stock shares of a railroad company
are the owners of the railroad, subject to
the mortgage upon 1t.
Let us then take glance at the recorC
and see il we can find out what railroads
were selling at during the year 1890:

the respectable portion OF the press
of these parties. We have worked
and voted with the Republican party
since its organization, and if the poll
cy and counsels of such Republicans
as the Champion had prevailed in
the party it is doubtful if q new party
would ever have gained the strength
in Kansas that it has to-day. Though
we do not regard the Champion as
fully up to the Alliance standard,
yet we recognize its fairness and its
ability; and we believe it to be suffi-
GENTLY progressive to ultimately ac-
knowledge the justice and necessity
of every demand of the people. We
further believe it to be sufficiently
discriminating to discover that what
ever of bitterness there may be in the
Alliance press, it is aimed at the
rings and bosses, and not at the rank
and file of the parties. Perhaps ALI
snce papers are not sufficiently care
full to make these determinations,
and in this they may be at fault; but
the dominance of the bosses has be-
come so absolute as almost to entitle
them to be recognized as the parties,
and to justify such designation of
them.
If it were possible that the entire
system of modern journalism could
be lifted out of the cesspool Of filth
and corruption into which it has de-
generated and be elevated to a higher
and more intellectual plane it would
be consummation most devoutly to
be desired, but one not likely to be
realized while individual and corpo-
rate sel6shness and greed are fos-
tered by the government, and the
profits of the plunder made possible
by Legislation are shared by the rul-
ers of state and nation. AS a rule we
are sure that the Alliance press now
occupies a much higher plane than
that of either of the old parties. It
has never yet perpetrsted a deliber-
ate forgery or made q willful mis-
statement. When it is unwittingly
led into the publication of an erro-
neous statement it is ready to make
the amende honorable whenever such
error is made to appear.
This is not the case with large
part of the Republican press of this
state. There are honorable excep-
tlons, it is true, but they are in the
minority. The most deliberate and
malicious falsehoods and misrepre-
sentations are daily indulged in, and
in almost every instance they abso-
lutely refuse to make corrections
when the falsehoods are demonstrst-
ed beyond possibility Of question.
We stand by our reform press and
unhesitatingly affirm that it chsl-
lenges comparison, both for fairness
and ability, with the press Of any
party in existence.

dollar; or che three roads, with $241, 1,OOO,-

From these facts / assume that care
ful comparison and examination Of the
records Of the New York Stock Ex-
change for the FIVE years ending Decem-
Der 81, 1890, will reveal the fact that the
lions of dollars ln railroad stock shares is
worth in cash not more than 81 ,60O,OO,OOO.
And very much the same state Of affairs
will be revealed in reference to railroad
bonds. Why, then, should the people or
government be expected to pay eight
billions of dollars for something private
individuals have bought and sold. over
and over again, for about one-halfo Of that
amountH Having condemned the rail
roads for public use, let the people pay
for them the average market price for
the next preceding five years, such price
to be determined by q United States
commission Of arbitration and appralse-
ment.
But il must not be forgotten that there
are numerous valuable "rlghts, prlvl-
leges and appurtenanceS" that belong to
and should go with the ownership Of the
railroads-such as few million acres Of
land, for instance.
Taking all these matters into COnsld-
eratlon, / consider it perfectly practlca-

The Teachers Institute.

The Stutsrnan county teachers insti-

in attendance. An organization was
effected and an adjournment taken until
30 p. M, when the real work of the in.
stitute commenced. Superintendent of
Public Instruction Ogden will be here
one day during the institute, and Super

week. A lecture by Hon. Il. w Camp
of this city, will be another feature. The
institute is being conducted by Prot.
Joseph Kennedy, assisted by Mrs. Ogden.
One of its features will be the kinder.
garten work by Mrs. Ogden. OF this
work Superintendent Wadsworth says:
"Mrs. Ogden will conduct a series of
kindergarten exercises during the week.
This feature will, am sure, greatly in
terests parents of young children both in
the city and county, and l shall be
