One Of Kansas Debts to the Repub-
lican Party.

From the Topeka Capital.
From the records of the department
of the interior at Washington it appears
that over 80 millions Of the 81 million
acres in Kansas were taken up under
the homestead and timber-culture acts
at cost to the farmer of not much
over 3 cents per acre. About three
1ifths of the entire area of Kansas, there
fore. was gift to our farmers from the
United States government BY virtue OF
the republican party.
These thirty millions acres are worth
at least $40 an acre, 800 million dollars.
The entire wealth OF Kansas. real and
personal. is something over a billion
dollars. Nappears, therefore, that one
third OF the total wealth of the state ia
traceable to gift at the hands of the
republican party. The homesteads
gwen to our farmers BY the govern
ment are secured BY the state to their
owners BY exemption from creditors.
Such muni6cence has NO PARALLEL in
the history Of any other country. II

How They See 1t Abroad.

From the Texas Siftings (dem.)
The London Times, always the bitter
opponent of this country, pays an I'M
willing tribute to the success of the
Mckinley bill. It says: 1.-THE McKin.
Icy Law, now in force, has had the effect
expected and intended. Our exports
to the United States have decreased.
The returns are unsatisfactory, 'that is,
they are unsatisfactory to England
and the decline in exports is distributed
over the whole list" The st. James
Gazette sings the same song. It says:
''The great decline in the exports from
Great Britain is undoubtedly due to the
operations of the Mckinley law. We
have been assured that the cut would
eventually prove misfortune to the
United States, but its immediate object
was to hit foreign manufacturers, espec
tally those of Great Britain, and it is
plainly evident that this object has been
attained" These home truths are
worth thousands of votes for McKin-
ley in the Ohio campaign.

If his third party is ''sure enough
party bent upou vanquishing the two
old organizations, it should be able to
show as much as one candidate who is
running, or has been run, against the
democratic nominee in a southern leg
islative district. Will Mr.. Polk enlighten
the public by naming one such candl-
date-just one?
! Will MIR. L. L. Polk, e1-confederate,
of North Carolina, and president OF the
alleged alliance party, name one single
congressional district in a southern
state in which his party has a candi-
date for congress against the demo-
cratic nominee? Will he please name
Just one?
Will Mr.. Polk, chief headlight OF the
new party, name single state officer
whom his party has nominated and
supported in any democratic state ?
that party has run so many in repub-
lican states that it ought to be able to
show at least one in democratic terri
tory. Will MI. Polk please trot one

Governor Boies as the Farmers
Advocate.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Governor Boies having shown that it
costs more to raise corn in Iowa than it
comes to, the Inter-Ocean gets on it's
ear and proceeds to roast the farmers
advocate. Orleans Item.
This is all right except the advocate
business. It will be news in Iowa to
hear Boies spoken of as the farmers adj
vocate. It was Boies who slandered the
Iowa farmers in New York, placing the
state in as bad repute with eastern
money men as did the Kansas legislature
for that state. Mr.. Boies is an advo.
cate, an eloquent advocate, but he is
laboring for the men who manipulate
corn juice, not for those who raise corn.

TENANT FARMERS.

The calamity press constantly harp
upon and repeat the statement that there
are 100000 tenant farmers in tho
United States This may be true, al
though it does not yet appear what is
the authority for the figures.
Tenant farmers are not an advantage
to the community in general. much less
to capitalists and city business men
whose earnings depend solely upon the
greatest prosperity Of the community
in general.

and especially for those who live on &C

ers; the one class shiftlees. lazy and
without ambition beyond a hand to
mouth living. This class works Ices
days and loafs more days in . year than
any other people who make any pretence
to being self supporting. They float
from one neighborhood to another, stay
ing q single season on farm because
their slovenly farming is not profitable
to the owner; yet they remain in this
kind OF life for the reason that there is
no other way IN which they can support
their families With az little capital and
with so few days work in year.
The other class OF tenant farmers are

Artistic Advertising.

serve credit for the best grade of lllustra,
tions now being used for advertising pur
poses. The series of full page drawing
which have been appearing ON the last page
of the Century, represent some of the most
capable book and magazine artists in the
country. The series must have cost no small
figure. As yet the ''way-up" artists do moi
sign the work they do for advertisers, but
apprehend that it will not be long ere VIC
shall see in the advertising columns such
names as George Wharton Edwards. E. W.
Kemble, etc. Such men as these bring t.
their work, besides mere mechanical skill,
a trained imagination, and an artistic concep-
ton of things. These qualities, when used
in connection with advertisements, com.
mand scarcely less interest than when used
IN the ordinary literary way.-Printer's Ink,

homo Of their own.
Besides these two, or constituting .
. percentage of the last named Glass
there arc those who prefer to remain on
rented farms after they are able to own
a farm, because they are more comfort
ably situated, live in better houses, have
more fruit, have better school and social
advantages than they have yet found
a chance to provide themselves with, BY
investing their accommodations, lesssnlng
their stock, to get farm Of their own.
Now, then; for both these clauses it il
fortunate that there are farms to rent.
The loafers have chance to make q
living easier that way than in any other
possible; and the thrifty class have Q
chance to get their start which finally
lands them upon their own land and
under their own roof tree.
The advantage is all on the side of
the renter be he loafer or an industri-
Gus man; and none of it on the side of
tho many classes Of people who do not
farm land.
How any man can frame an argument
on this question which shall have any
influence with sensible men, to induce
them to act with the peoples party, is a
riddle. The fact is they do not argue;
they only yell "a million and half
of tenant farmers" and then yell it
again, and then sing calamity dirge.
Like this one, every other campaign
yell OF the calamity orators is want
ing in sound reason and could he

WHY DO THEY HELP DEMOCRATS.

Will Mr.. l.. l.. Polk, who is now in
the business of instructing the people
of this state, tell them how it happens
that in North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia all the members OF the leg
islatures of the states respectively who
belonged to the alliance voted to elect
members of the democratic party-men
owing allegiance to that party-to the
senate of the United States, while liz
North Dakota, Kansas and Illinois the
members of the same alliance and
so-called independent party Joined
the democrats in defeating republican
candidates for the senate?
Will Mr.. Polk explain further how it
is that while the state convention OF the
alliance in Maryland Endorsed for re-
election Senator German, democrat, the
same alleged independent party is
united IN Ohio in its efforts to defeat
John Sherman, republican? Do tell,
Mr.. Polk
Now, as to matter of good govern
ment, which he seeks So earnestly to es-
tablish, will Mr.. Polk explain how the
separate ballot box" laws of North
Carolina and South Carolina, whereby
the voter is required to vote for each
candidate separately. and if he puts a
ballot In the wrong box loses his vote
will he tell how this arrangement
conduces to good government" The
influence of this proceeding upon q
free ballot and honest count might be
made the subject of special explanation.
Will Mr.. Polk enlighten the people!

EXCITING THE HATE OF LABoRERs.

EXCITING THE HATE OF LAbOhEhS.
In his Topeka speech, Mr.. L. L. Polk,
of North Carolina, acclaimed against
those who do not labor with their hands
and endeavored to excite the hate OF
those who do 80 labor. Would this
searcher for "good government" dare
to make such speech in any southern
state to the (black) laborers thereof?
And does he not know that any ono
who would make euch q speech under
the "good government" Of the south
would be mobbed!
If Mr.. Polk will take up these ques-
tions and answer them fully he will
greatly expedite his work of showing
that the third party is a bona fide par
~; and he viii also more quickly show
with what sort of grace a man from his
part of the country can talk OF govern

Ten Drums Filled with Carbonic Acid
Explode and Do Great Damage.
DETROIT, Sept 25.-About noon Friday
terrific explosion shook the earth at the
foot of Griswold street, where the Star
line dock is located. The explosion was
caused by leaving ten drums filled with
carbonic acid in an exposed position on
the wharf awaiting shipment by steamer
to Toledo. Several of the drums must
have gone off together, for the whole
southern wall of the warehouse was
wrecked, about 5000 pounds of tobacco
in bales torn to ribbons, the tin sheath
ing of the warehouse ripped off and scat
tered in all directions, and all the win
dows in the neighborhood shattered.
One Of the unexploded drums was hurled
through the brick wall of the adjoining
building on the east side. Charles w.
McCorkle, who was standing about
twenty feet from the drums at the time
of the explosion received serious tract
ure of the skull which may prove fatal.
