The following article about the above
library is taken from the Springfield Re-

has been noticed in number of state

rary at Chester, the front view of which
is given, is located on the south side of

of DR.. Laurin G.. and Abigail B. Whiting,
his wife. DR.. Whiting who had amassed
q goOdly fortune by the successful
practice of his profes sion in Chester and

bequeathed certain sum for the pur-
poses Of free library, and also gave his
wife. Abigail B., the use of one-half of
his estate during her life and the right to
dispose of the same by will. Abigail B.
Whiting died in May, 1888, and after a
few specific requests gave the remainder
of the estate that she had the right to
dispose of to the town for library. The
town elected three trustees to have the
control and management of the fund

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-12-08
Mr.. Swift.

Recently, Mr.. Swift, one Of the
"Big Three" was invited to come
into the court presided over by
Judge Blodgett. Mr.. Swift inform
ed the court, by his attorney, that
when he had no engagements to at
tend to, he would, probably, appear
and give bail.
It is a great piece of presumption
on the part of Judge Blodgett in
requiring Mr.. Swift to answer to
any charge whatever, to say moth
ing about time. Mr.. Swift is busy
man-busy handling meat. People
must have meat, and meat-handlers
of the Swift type are, or ought to
be, above courts. Mr.. Swift is, OF
divine right, like kings, above
courts still, Mr.. Swift has shown
great cOndeSccnSlOn IN even lhloIhl-
ing the court that, at some future
time, if time permitted, the court
would be greatly honored by his
presence. Mr.. Swift, like Charles
LIST, king of England, may not ac-
knowledge the jurisdiction of the
court if he appears, and it is not
probable that he will appear.
Judge Blodgett is to be congratu-
lated on the nerve he has so far dis
PLAYED, and, taken all in all, the
country is to be congratulated on
it's possession of both Swifts and
Blodgetts.

Discrimination.

Four railroad companies, in their
managers, have been indicted by a
United States grand jury for viola
ton of the interstate commerce
law. 1t seems that Swift & Co. have
obtained lower rates, both from
Kansas City and Chicago, than other
shippers. Swift is one of the "Big
Three" and, of course, any rail-
road that would not violate the law
for a meat magnate would be out of
the fashion, and, consequently, lose
caste.
1t seems that a private detective,
employed by the interstate commits
sioners, worked up the case, and
there is no doubt of the companies
guilt. But there will be no convic-
ton. The commissioners and the
detective mean business, but the at

torneys will defeat the ends OF just
ice, either through some defect in
the law or failure to prosecute, on
the part of the prosecuting attorney.
The railroad companies are above
law; or, if not, at least, generally
escape the penalty of it's violation
and the fact that no conviction can
be had only goes to prove the neces-
sity of stronger and more radical
governmental measures.

Once upon time certain dema

Ans.-No, not if the Republican
yarty can prevent it.
Ques. What is the principal OBJ

Ans.-The principal object O
government is the success of the
Republican party.
Ques.--Whose rights are protect

Ans.-The rights Of the Repub

Ans.-The resources of the gov

Cues. What is the main AM

Ans.-The main and leading fea
ture of the prosperity of govern

party cast 10 per CeHC. VI CHS COCdl
vote of 1890, and 4S per cent. Of
the total vote in 1891.
SO much for the thirty-eight
counties, where the new party
fought the combined forces of the
two old parties. An analysis of
the vote by the townships discloses
the fact that in the county-seats and
larger towns the vote was almost
solid for the twin ticket. Let us
glance at the remainder of the state
where three tickets were in the
field. We find that the Republicans
received plurality in thirty-fve
counties, the Democrats three and
Peoples thirty.
In 1890 these same counties poll
ed l2l, 1913 votes, divided as follows:
Rep. 1854: Dem. 46, SOL; Peoples
1888, In 1891 total vote l9S,O94;
Rep. 80, 33S; Dem. 81 1888; Peoples
1923. A dedrease in total vote of
l4,1O4, or about per cent. Sum-
marizing the total vote of the state
we find decrease of II ,466 votes,
or 6 per cent. of the total vote.
In 1890 the vote was: Rep. l20,-
969; Dem. 55,873; Peoples 49,
933. In. 1891 the vote was: 9O,33S;
Demo-Rep. 39,S5S; Dem. 1888;
Peoples 1920. The Demo-Rep.
vote was composed of 3O.576 Rep.
and 1892 Dem. With three tickets
then, the 1891 vote would have
read Rep. l2O,Sl4; Dem. 4l,1l5;
Peoples 1920. Had each ticket
polled it's relative strength, the vote
would have been: Rep. $50;
Dem. 1921; Peoples 1OS,977.
The vote then shows, Rep. gain
7,lO3; Peoples gain 4,3O3; Dem.
loss IL .4O6.
In the counties of Shawnee, (To-
peka) Wyandotte kansas City,
Leavenworth, { Leavenworth) Atch-
ison, (Atchison) and Sedgwick,
| (Wichita) the Dem. less foots up
6,5O2.
Taking the per centage of votes
cast as a basis which is absolutely
correct, we find the Peoples party
has increased the per centage of it's
vote in fifty-seven counties, held its
own in eleven and lost in thirty
eight. 1t gained in twenty-nine of
| the fusion counties and lost in nine.
Taking the state over, the Peo-
ple's party cast AZ per cent. of the
total vote of 1891, as against 80
per cent. of the vote of 1890.
The above figures are as we take
, them from the official vote. If
there is anything in them which
affords any basis for saying the
Peoples party is dead or even dy-
ing, we fail to see it. If :&ere is
anything in the above upon which a
Republican can base his hopes for
the future, we cannot discern it.
Fusion of the two old parties
next year is not probable. In the
thirty-eight counties where only
two parties existed this year, there
will be three next.

field with 10000 straight votes;

Third party. From the noise and
buster caused by the perambula-
tions of Senator PETER and the
sockless Simpson for the past year,
the country has been led to believe
that where there was so much
smoke there must be some consider
able fire. 1t is therefore relieved to
discover that the wild claims of
these self-elected apostles Of revolu-
ton have failed to materialize, and
that their teachings have had no
particular effect. Repudiated in
their chosen stronghold, defeated

exceedingly small figure in either
