THAT'S ANOTHER 'RFPORM. y


This can only be accounted for on the ground
that Editor McIallin Is very busy looking after
his candidacy for Clin Bakers position. EN-
pOria Republican,
The above complimentary notice is
copied approvingly by the Topeka
Capital In relation to the latter
part it in which editor McLallin" is
said to be very busy looking after
his candidacy for Cliff Bakers posi-
tion,' we have this say; II Mr.. Esk-
ridge or Major Hudson, or any other
man in the state of Kansas or else
where, knows Of any instance where
we have urged or attempted to urge
our candidacy for the Office of state
printer, or any other Office or position,
we will thank them TO make the mat
ter public. We have never yet cleo
tiOneered for any Office, nor do we in
tend to. We take it for granted that
our representatives will know, when
the proper time comes, who they want
for this and for every other position
without being told by us or by other
interested parties. The journals
above quoted are 80 accustomed TO
render service from mercenary con-
siderations that they consider it inn
possible for others to act from differ
ent motives.
Upon the proposition to cut down
the state printers fees THE ADVOCATE
will be heard from when the legisla-
turo is ready to act. For the gratif-
cation Of our friends who are 30 ex-
tremely soliCitous upon this subject,
we will indicate now what our posi-
tion will be- We shall favor the own
ership by the state Of the entire out
fit necessary to carry on the work,
and the employment at q reasonable
salary, Of a state superintendent OF
public printing. This will also con-
template the printing and furnishing
Of school books by the state. The e1-
penditures for public printing in
years past under the administration
Of the republican party have been lit
tie short Of highway robbery; and
when it is remembered that the Offices
that are now regarded as superAous
and entirely unnecessary, and that
are 30 reported by the republican SEN
ate Codifying committee, aRd the fees
that are now regarded as extravagant
by this very patriotic committee, as
we'll as by the republican press, are
all the creatures of the republican
party very considerably provided to
be disposed Of to a few favorites
where they would do the most good,
their extreme solicitude upon these
subjects Of much needed reform now
that the power to name the bene-
fciaries is about to pass out of their
hands, is affecting in the extreme.
Such exhibitions Of unselfsh patriot
ism are so rare as to appeal directly
to the tenderest emotions of the hui
man heart. We are disposed to drop
a tear in view Of this very opportune
manifestation Of public virtue. Let

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST THE POSITION
OF THE ADVOCATE" DEFINED.

at this Office relating TO the senatorial
question, and expressing prefer ences
for many different candidates. We
have deemed il best not TO publish
these resolutions for two reasons.
First--If their publication is begun
one alliance is az much entitled TO
express It's preference as another. 1t
would be maniiestly unfair to give
one hearing and refuse Il to another,
and the publication Of all we receive
would require us to enlarge the paper
even if we should publish no other
matter.
Second-As these resolutions en-
dorse many different candidates we
do not think their publication would
in any way simplify the Senatorial
question. For these reasons we have
deemed it best to publish no endorse
ment Of any candidate that has been
named for the position.
Not day passes, however that we
are not asked personally and by letter
where THE ADVOCATE stands upon this
question Some of our people seem
extremely ANXIOUS that we shall ex-
press our preference for the successor
Of Mr.. Ingalls, Such a pressure is
being brought to bear upon this sub
iect that we have decided to define
our position in unequivocal terms,
and in such a manner that it will not
be misunderstood. Briefly stated it
ls this We desire the representa-
tives OF the people who have been
elected for that purpose, to perform
their duty in accordance with the
will Of the people as expressed at the
polls, and select the best man in the
state for the next United States Sena-
tor. The main issue before the people
in the Legislative contest was the de-
feat Of Mr.. ingalls,. If our represen-
tstives elect are true to the people in
this respect, we believe they may be
safely entrusted with the selection of
Mr.. Ingalls, successor. We are op-
posed to all pools and combinations,
and all electioneering schemes de-
signed to influence members of the
legislature in their choice of men for
this or any other position. 1t has
been cardinal principle in the policy
Of the peoples party that the Office
should seek the man rather than the
man the Office, and if the representa-
tives elect are true to this principle
we are satisfied some of the candi-
dates will got left.
No letters should have been written
to the representatives elect upon this
subject, They should come up to the
capital city absolutely free and un-
biased upon this question. After their
arrival they should get together in
conference and calmly and dispassion-
ately canvass the field and agree upon
the best man for the place, after which
there should be but one voice among
them all. We have no objection to

| There is not jar, not a discord
within our ranks from one end of the
country to the other Unity Of purpose
now characterizes the movement from
the lakes to the gulf. and from the Po-
tomac to the Golden Gate. Now, breth-
rem, let there be no more hating. The
fight is on-the battle OF the people
against the plutocracy. There are now
but two parties: the money power, in
whose behalf are arrayed all the monop-
olies, benefciaries OF class laws, cOrpor-
ations and plutocrats in the land: and
on the other the plain, resolute, long
suffering people. Thank heaven, sec
tional hatred IS a thing Of the past. The
era OF fraternity and brotherhood has
81 last been ushered in, and it has been
ushered In TO stay. There Is no longer
any room for laggards or for the faint
hearted. The watchword is now: up
and at them all along the line.
I'VE are living in an era OF anxious
thought and solicitude Not a day

sunburnt faces ask us this question,
What are the farmers OF the south 90

heard among our toilers, and they are
uppermost at every meeting among In

earnest friends we say, dismiss your
fears The industrial forces OF the
south. the members Of the farmers ali-
ance and industrial union are with YOU
TO man, Their hearts beat la unison
with yours, and they are as true to the
grand cause in which you are engaged
as the needle to the pole. The grand
confederation OF labor now includes the
toilers OF every section and OF every
state and territory, and they are a unit
for the ST. Louis, Ocala and Omaha de-
mauds as reenunciated at Cincinnati.
Both sections will stand like pillars Of
granite against all who assail them. and
against all who seek TO engender sec
tional distrust, and against all who seek
to thrust upon this country dcspotic
force bills and kindred infants. The
hope Of the plutocract lies in keeping
the sections apart-in dividing the great
army OF industrial emancipation. But
they will be mistaken. Mississippi and
Georgia will vie with Kansas and Ne
braska, North Carolina and Texas with
Iowa and Minnesota, in lifting the whole
country upon a plane Of fraternity and
progress which the petty bloody shirt
Fingers have never dreamed of and
which they will not even be able to
enjoy unless speedily regenerated.
I'VE say to Che brethren in the north,
confide implicitly in your brethren in
the south. They will suffer martydom
before they will forsake you. And so
we say TO the brethren in the south, the
great west is with YOU in love, frater-

H1GGINsv1LLE, Mo. Aug. 4-The
body Of Dr. b. T. Wilson, jr.. who died
here early yesterday morning from a
wound received at the hands Of Ferdi-
nand Butler, has been taken to Slater,
Mo, the home of his father, DR. B. F.
Wilson, sr., chief surgeon OF the Chica-
90 & Alton railroad, for burial The
young physician was one Of the leading
physicians OF this place.
Wilson was Buffers physician and
had been treating the latter's invalid
wife. They quarreled over galvanic
battery last Tuesday, when Butler
struck Wilson on the head with grass
hook. the point Of which went through
the skull and into the brain. Wilson,
after receiving the wound, went into
the house and secured q surgeons

the appearance OF Butler. Mar
shal Bennett found Wilson
with the knife sticking in the
fence bv him handy for use,
and heard him threaten TO kin Butler
when he came that way. Bennett placed
Wilson under arrest and kept him that
night in the calaboose. The next
morning Wilson was found unconscious
with one side paralyzed. He was taken
home and medical aid summoned. His
skull was trephined but all to no pur-
pose, as he died yesterday morning.
Butler claims that he only struck vii
son with his fist. There were no wit
nesses to the fight.

ROME, Aug. 4.-The Holy See has
list ap pointed an extraordinary com
mission Of cardinals 10 reorganize the
Catholic missions. Two years ago
Cardinal Simeoni prepared and commu-
nicated 10 the pope plan Of reforms in
order TO better regulate tho action OF
the Propaganda But the coming OF
General Simmons from England Oh a
special mission 10 Pope go ia reference
10 colonial questions had the effect OF
postpoung the execution OF the pro-
iected reform, as the propaganda did
not wish to awaken the idea that the
reforms were made in consequence oi
the arrangement with England. Amy
suspicion Of such an arrangement would
have reused the greatest jealousy in
France. Leo who has always been In
favor OF the missions taking leading
part In the work OF colonization, had
revived these projects OF reform. The
inquiry OF the commission OF cardinals,
IL is said, extend over the whole Of the
apostolic works.
Tho vatican does not intend 10 let the
question Of social reform drop now that
the pope's encyCllcal letter has been
published. 10 is stated that inquiries
are still being made and instructions
sent TO the prelates Of all countries to
encourage Catholics 10 do their utmost
toward ameliorating the condition Of
the poor and eiiecting the social re-
forms urged In the encyclical.
Herr Schloser, the Prussian minister
10 the vatican, will soon leave Rome
for his ordinary vacation. His recent
negotiations with the holy see have had
littlJ success. The vatican is greatly
dissatisfied with the tardiness with
which Prussia Is inclined 10 treat the
most urgent ecclesiastical affairs.
The recent economic crisis at Rome
has almost ruined many OF the great
ancient families such as the Borghese,
Sciarra and Barberini. The Borghese
families appear to have been the great
est sufferers. Paul Borghose its pres
ent head, is said TO have ordered the
most rigorous economy in the manage
ment Of his properties IN order 10 get
over the great losses recently sustained.
He has distributed the works OF art
which composed the celebrated Bor-
ghese gallery among his nine brothers,
SO as 70 enable them to lease the apart
ments given up 10 the art collection TO
a bank. One hears expressions OF re-
gret on all sides al this action. It is
feared that the example may find imi-
tation on the part Of the other great
families, and that there may thus bc a
general breaking up OF the fine private
art gallery collections at Rome.

Topeka, KAs., August }. 3.-F'armer A.
w. Smith OF Mcpherson county, ar
rived in the city this morning to atten d
the meeting OF the executive committee
of the Worlds fair bureau of PROMO
tion called for tonight. The farmer is
without exception the most enthusiastic
worker for q creditable Kansas exhibit
at the Columbian exposition At mo-
time has he lost faith in the ability Of
those who have the matter In hand TO
raise the money which the legislature
declined to appropriate. When the
plan adopted by the Worlds fair con-
yention was first promulgated, IL WAS
taken hold Of throughout the state
with vim that promised to carry IL
speedily TO success but the question as
to the scope OF the eight hour law was
raised and until a decision OF the SUI
premo court removed the necessity for
an extra session of the legislature, work
was suspended, IL being thought that
the legislature would make the appro-
priatlOn necessary.
This was followed by the wheat har-
vest. which required tho attention OF
the people, now the time Is ripe for
again pushing the scheme, and the eX-
eeutive cammittee at fits meeting to-
night will take steps % again set the
ball in motion. II will probably be de-
cided that the representatives OF sub
scribers to the fund shall meet in To-
peka while the state fair Is in progress,
for the purpose Of electng permanent
board Of managers TO take charge OF
the fund which will be raised by that
time
Farmer Smith says that every county
in the state viii respond to the call and
the full quota Of the 500, 900 will be
raised eventually. This, Of course, viii
not be done without much difficulty and
great deal Of hard work, but the bu-
reau Of promotion is prepared to do the
work and every member OF 1t Is con
WINGED that success will eventually
crown their efforts.

that they are bearing the burdens OF

that the financial affairs Of the country
have drifted out of the hands OF the peo-
pie. and into the hands OF a few money
warehouses, called national banks, and
that every dollar that leaves the treas
