Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-11-03
Now for 1892.

The campaign of 1891 has just
closed, and it has been a hotly-con-
tested campaign. 1t has taken .
good deal of nerve to make the can
vass against the bosses and their
"hired Hessians," with their peck
cts filled with money and bottles of
whisky Yes, it took nerve, and
our "boys" have done nobly. The
enemy has played its biggest guns
upon our ranks. 1t has had its con-
gressmen, it's judges, it's state SEN
ators, and even it's United States
senators, in the field, going about
from village to village, shaking the
bloody shirt, fighting the war over,
talking about the tariff and lying
about the "great tin industry"
And all this has happened in an
"off year" Why2 Because the
money kings see their idol -thelr
-tottering and ready to fall.
They see that the great mass of
common people are aroused and are
shaking off the yoke of bondage.
For this reason, the leaders of both
old parties have combined, and are
putting forth their mightiest efforts
to thwart the will Of the people.
Hard-fought as the battle has
been, it only gives one an mixing
of what the contest Of '92 will be.
We cannot rest upon our oars a
moment. We must begin new
campaign Immediately. We must
prepare for the most stupendous po-
litical campaign ever known in the
history Of this nation. Money will
be ussd to bribe voters Whisky
will flow like water. Evey scheme
known to the artful politician will
be worked to deceive, blind and de-
feat the people.
Let us grid on the armor and pre-
pare for the fray. Let every senti-
mel be at his post, and let the watch
man on the tower be on the alert to
discover each movement of the en-
envy.
We must, shall and will win i'll

Pointing with Pride, and a'Oin t.
ing.

that can deliver what they call a
political speech, without rehearsing
the old chestnut of twenty-five
years ago, is like finding June bugs
in the month of January. To, find
a Republican demagogue or a Re-
publican league circuit-rider, or q
chaplain Of the order Of the Knights
Of Reciprocity that can talk one
hour without pointing with pride"
to the birth Of the Republican par
ty, is like finding prayer meeting
in Lewis Shoreham (saloon.) To
find a Republican holder of a coun-
ty office, or a Republican ex- or
present office-seeker that can talk
IN a country school house fifteen
minutes on what they call political
issues without pointing back with
pride" is like finding a needle in a
hay stack. To find a Republican
ex-merchant that can argue thirty
minutes against the Peoples party
demands without beating his own
assertions by admitting that he fail
ed in business, or in olher words,
his money failed, on account Of de-
monetization of silver and the con-
traction of the currency, under
Republican law, is like squeezing
blood out Of a turnip. Show us a
man that has ever heard OF a Repub-
lcan demagogue, Republican
league orator, a Knights of Reel
procity chaplain, a Republican
office-hoIder, a Republican ex- or
present Office hunter or Republic
an ex-merchant that has ever stood
up in country school houses, or in
any other place, outside of the Sc
cret conclaves of the shylocks of
Wall street and London, and pointed
with pride to the act of the Repub-
lican congress of 1868, creating a
national banking system of robbery.
Do they ever point with pride to

1866, contracting the currency Z

fully employed2 Do they ever

This is Republican contraction !;
this we presume is what they would
have the people to believe is pros
perity under Republican legislation
This, friends, is contraction of
prosperity. The farmers and labor
ers have got the contraction and
the Shylocks of Wall street and
London have got the prosperity.
The aforesaid class of stumpers and
demagogues talk prosperity to
farmers and laborers under Repub-
lican administration and then point
them back witw pride to the 6. o. p.
war record, and then go into the
secret conclaves of the Shylocks
and talk prosperity and Doodle to
them under Republican administra-

II once believed, as many do yet. that
keeping the queen cells cut out would
prevent bees from swarming." says an
Illinois apiarian, in Gleanings in Bee
Culture. THAT faith received a rude
shock when l found that bees often
swarmed before they had started queen
cells, sometimes not even starting them
for two or three days afterward. This
was with Italians. II is possible that,
with black bees, the method could be
made to succeed, although it is not at
all practical. The objections are the
great amount of labor required, and the
great liability of overlooking one or more
cells. II any are left they might as well
all be left. The same objections apply
to this method of preventing second
swarms. once received communica-
\ ton from man who had a new method
of preventing afterswarming. He had
the highest opinion of its practicability
and value. He said it would be worth
fifty dollars year in every apiary Of any
size, agreed to help him test it more
thoroughly before he made it pub.

One Of the afternoon papers yester.
day had q sensational article concern
ing the death OF E. B. Hughes, who
died in New Castle, where he was serv.
ing sentence OF so days in default OF
S25 fine for an assault on Constable
Brown. The constable, accompanied
with two other constables went to the
house of the deceased on June 23, arm.
ed with landlords warrant to levy
on his goods, In default of the pay
lment OF rent.
When they entered the house the de.
ceased armed himself with Ratchet
which was taken away by constable
McKelvey. At the hearing before
Judge Ball, he said that the only thing
he intended to do with the Ratchet was
to destroy the furniture. The evidence
showed that Hughes resisted the Off
Ger, and he was sentenced to pay fine
of $25, or serve 60 days in jail.
4 AS he could not pay the fine he was
committed, and died as stated in the
REpuBLIoAN at an early hour on Wed.
nesday morning.
|, On account of the reports concern
ling the affair, the coroner summoned
a jury and held an inquest when, aftei
hearing testimony the jury rendered
ia verdict that he died from hemor
,lrahage of the brain, caused by con.
'lvultion, to which he was subject.
