The Sub-Treasury Scheme.

If the farmers should succeed in es-
tablishing sub-treaSurles where grain
can be placed in bond and drawn out
only when the price is high enough to
suit them, and thereby control the sup
ply so as to regulate the price, it will be
a very nice thing for them, but how
will it affect the great army Of bread
winners who are consumers and not
producers of bread stuffs? To thus
favor by law the fixing of the value
upon commodity greater than that
made by the natural laws of supply and
demand is class legislation and should
not meet with approval any more than
legislation of that character in aid of
capital.
Better than this and more in har-
mony with that alliance principle of
equal rights for all and special favors
for none," will it be to regulate the
price of articles that both farmers and
laborers consume by reducing the pres
ent privileges now conferred by law
upon certain protected classes. The
curse of laws which encourage the
formation of trusts and by which prices
may be regulated at the will of the pro-
ducers now rests heavily upon the peO-
pie OF this country and instead of wild
enlng their scope it should be mar
rOwed.
This, together with wise and just
laws in reference to transportation and
prevent gambling in grain, that will
secure to the farmer his just proper
tion of the profits arising from the sale
of lis products in a world wide market
is what is most needed, and would ben
eft the whole body of bread winners
and bread producers.-Holton Signal.

"TheV Want to Fuse"

We don't blame them. Last year
the democrats fused with the republi-
cans to beat the peoples party, and
now they want to fuse with the peo-
ple's party to beat the republicans.
That is very clever. They said last
year that the republican party suited
them better than anything else. and
now they say that the peoples party is
just like the democratic party. The
fact is that the democratic party has
not advocated popular principle for
over fifteen years that was not promul-
gated by some other party before it was
adopted by the democrats.-Beacon.
Who wants to fuse, Mr.. Beacon?
Who has been talking about fusing?
And what are the grounds for fusing?
We defy you to make good your asser-
tion that ''last year the democrats fused
with the republicans to beat the peo-
pies party and also defy you to bring
any proof to your assertion that the
democrats want to fuse with the peo-
pies party to beat the republicans
The whole of the above clipping is a
bungling hoodoo, manufactured in your
own ieventive brain, and having not
the least foundation in fact, and you
cannot bring hit of proof to corroborate
your assertions. Such balderdash, COM

Baby is Dead,

The following beautiful piece is from

Baby is deadl'' Three little words
passing along the line, copied some
where and soon forgotten. But after
all was quiet again, leaned my head
upon my hands and fell into deep rev.

Somewhere dainty form, still and
cold, unclasped by mothers arms
tonight. Eyes that yesterday were
bright and blue as the sky of June,
dropped tonight beneath white lids.
that no voice can ever raise again.
Two soft hands, whose rose leaf flng-
ers were wont to wander lovingly
around mothers neck and face, loosely
holding white buds, quietly folded in
coffined rest.
Soft lips, yesterday rippling with
laughter sweet as woodland brook falls,
gay as trill of forest bird, tonight unre-
sponsive to kiss or call of love.
a silent home-the patter of baby
feet forever hushed-a cradle bed un-
pressed. Little shoes half worn
dainty garments-shoulder knots of
blue to match those eyes, eyes of yester-
day. folded with aching hearts away.
A tiny mound, snow covered in some
quiet graveyard.
a mothers cropping touch, uneasy
slumber, for the fair head that shall
never rest upon her bosom. The low
sob, the bitter tear, as broken dreams
awake to sad realities. The hope of
future years wrecked, like fair ships
that suddenly go down in sight of land.
The watching of other babies, dim
pied, laughing, strong. and this one
gone! The present agony of grief, the
future emptiness of heart, all held in
those three little words, "Baby is
dead!''

Just About Right.

The Central Kansas Democrat, of
Lyons, about states the situation in
this county also when it gives the Opin-
ions and sentiments of the Rice county
democracy. The Lyons Democrat says:
eve have had the opportunity of in
terviewing and obtaining the opinions
of quite a large number of democrats
who are nearly unanimous in the belief
that the thousand democrats in Rice
county who deserted their ticket last
breach to accomplish the defeat of John
J. Ingalls, and Jeems r. Hallowell,
have only that to show for it. The
Sympathies even, of the man elected in
| Ingalls, stead, PETER, are against us.
| Almost the solid democratic vote of
the county accomplished nothing else,
and democrats argue this way. That ii
we accomplish nothing by voting with
another, we may as we'll vote our own
ticket. Peoples party men say, "Why,
you got KentOn, didn't You?" True,
but is he a democrat now? "Well, you
got Ives and Clark True, too, but if
the peoples party men believe them
still democrats, their future fate would
be settled. What then does democrat
gain by voting a peoples party ticket?
Absolutely nothing, except the rout
and disorganization OF the republican
party. This amounts to nothing if in
the rout of the enemy your own forces
are paralyzed. In the coming struggle,
former Old-time republican states like
Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
all with democratic governors now, will
surely be i'll the democratic column.
Illinois will almost surely be there also.
The democrats Of Kansas and Rice
county cannot afford to qualify the full
| measure Of intoXicatiOn there will
come with that victory by fusion
| with a party that announces it does
not want them and will not recognize
them. Affiliate with the peoples party
it cannot, with the republican party it
will not, and there is only one course
left for the democrats of Rice county,
l. e. to Shun the abominatiOn of all
screeds, and hold high aloft and un-
sullied, the true banner of the people
true democracy. Stick fast to principle
and be not deceived by a false democ-
racy. These are the opinions of many
democrats in this county, who would
rather pluck out an eye than assist in
building up party that has always
reyiled them.''

DEATH BY DROWNING.
Last Sunday morning our little city
was thrown into fever of excitement
and sorrow by the announcement, by
telegram, that Willie, second son of
J. W. and Grace Ratcliffe had come to
his death by drowning in the Villa
meta river at Portland, Oregon.
About four months ago he went to
Portland to join his brother, Frank. at
which place they have been since then
at work in one of the lumber or log
mills. Last Saturday evening, June
9th, he, with two Of his young friends
went out on the river for a boat ride:
steam boat passing along caused their
boat to capsiZe. 1t seems that Willie
struck out for the log boom which he
would have reached as he was an excel
lent swimmer, but one of his compan-
ions called to him for help and in
response to the call turned about, but
before he could reach the one who
called, his strength gave out and he
went down never to rise again in this
life. His two companions were rescued.
The remains of the deceased were re-
covered some twenty-five hours after
they went down.
