NEITHER WISE NOR POLITIC.

The proposition to pool with the
Democrats in county politics is inde-
fensible upon any ground Of regard
for the principles for which the Peo-
ple's party is contending. If there
were nothing more in this movement
than simply to defeat somebody in
this county, without much regard to
who il is, and TO thus capture a few
local offices, such course might, per-
haps, be justifsble; but il there is q
principle involved, as we claim there
is, do not let us sacrifice it for the
sake Of local success. The ADVOCATE
is uncompromisingly opposed to this
kind Of pilitiCs and will remain so.

The Kansas City Stars perversion
of the statement in Mrs. Diggs' trib-
ute to Sam Wood is characteristic.
What the language of Mrs. DiRgs
clearly implies, and what any fair
minded reader would infer from it, is
that Sam Wood, though dead, still
lives in the impress which his life and
character have impaired to the insti-
tutions and civilization Of the state,
and the Star knows this as well as
anybody. Such unfair criticism is
not creditsble to any respectable
journal.

It is now stated, with all the SOL
emnity of gospel truth, that Robert
Schilllng, Of Milwaukee, national
secretary of the Peoples party, is a
beer guzzler. Robert Schilling is
not only a total abstainer from every
thing intoxicating, but he is what the
beer guzzlers call a temperance fa'

will save the Republican party, OF

SENATOR GEORGE, of Mississippi,
now announces his acceptance of the
Ocals platform, all except the
platform itself. The Mississipians
will now probably place him on

4 PROTEST FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

A RiChardsville, Pennsylvania, SUBJ
scriber to THE ADVOCATE sends us q
lengthy screed from the Brookville
Republican and suggests that we
reply to it. We see nothing in ii to
reply to. The burden Of this Penn
sylvanis editors grief arises from
the fact that all the acts Of Congress
and Of state Legislatures necessary
to carry out the details Of the policy
indicated IN the Cincinnati platform
were not drawn up and Incorporated
in that instrument. 10 illustrate his
line Of argument we quote the follow
lowing brief plank from the Republi-
can platform Of 1868:
tits due to the labor Of the nation that taxa
tion should be equalIzed and reduced aS rapidly
as the national faith will permit.
Now pursuing the same line Of
argument as the Brookville RepubR-
can, we would ask how it was pro-
posed to reduce and equalize taxa
tioni We might formulate q half
dozen questions or more as to the de-
tails of the legislation necessary TO
carry out the policy indicated in this
plank, and because these questions
are not all answered in the platform
itself we might declare against both
platform and party; but would this
be logical or just3 The question is,
not what specific Legislation is neces-
sary to carry out the principles laid
down in the platform; but will those
principles, il faithfully carried into
effect according to the evident intent
Of the trainers of that instrument,
always carefully guarding against
such abuses as will occur to the minds
Of intelligent and Conscientious legis-
lators, inure TO the best interests OF
the people7 If the editor of the
Brookville Republican cared to treat
the Cincinnati platform with candor
and fairness, rather than from the
standpoint of the bitter partisan, he
would study it's fundamental princi-
Piles rather than criticise imaginable
evils that might arise from possible,
but improbable vicious legislation.

return to a specie basis and gradual
absorption of the property and the
money of the country.
But there is still another fact in
connection with the finances OF the
Argentine Republic which our Re
publican friends have not given to
their readers. This fact also we
CLEAN from the official report OF Con-
sui Baker of date December ~, 1889.
He says:
The year Just closing has been very remarka-
BILE one for the Argentine Republic. It has
throughout presented two almost contradictory
phases-One marking the development OF tne
country beyond anything heretofore known 10
its history, the other exhibiting 1t as In the
thrOes of a financial crisis. This seems like a
paradox, yet it quite accurately states the Sttua-
tiOn.
It undoubtedly is paradox to an
advocate Of a single standard, hard
money currency. But listen to con-
tinusnce of the consuPs statement:
The impulse which referred to in my last
annual report as characterizlDg the different de-
partments of trade, industry, and commerce has
been even more pronounced during the present
year. There was never before so much push
and movement; there was never before abroad
in the land such spirit Of progress and specu-
latiOn; there was never before such genuine and
substantial development Of the nations re-
sources.
This is strange condition to pre-
vail in a country whose money is not
worth anything. The fact is that
Notwithstanding the criminal specu-
l..tions of the Shylocks, the people
are prosperous and the resources OF
the country are developed simply be-
cause there is an abundance of money
in circulation, and that prosperity
will continue until the policy of con-
traction and return to the gold
basis has done its work as it has done
in our own country, and then We
shall see business lsnguish, values de-
preciate, money and property concen-
trate in a few hands, while the
masses of the people will sink into
poverty and want. This policy Of
contraction is even now inaugurated,
and is already doing its deadly work
The same British conspirators are en-
gagged in these gigantic robberief
who have forged the chains of oul
own people. They have pursued the
same policy in the Argentine Repub.
lie as they did in the United States
and the result will be perhaps even
more disastrous, as the resources oi
the country are not equal to our OVID
and they are consequently unable tc
endure like robbery and still rally
from the impending ruin. Notwith.
standing all this robbery and depre
citation of the currency, the evil day

THE. MuRDER or aAM WOOD.

lsting to this brutal outrage were too
meagre to justify a free expression OF
opinion respecting it While we
were satisfied the county seat fight
was not responsible for it, we were
not prepared to speak with the sssur-
ance that we now feel justified
in doing. Hardly had the news of
the murder been flashed over the
wires, and before any intimation Of
the kind had been expressed, when
Republican papers began to remark
on the probability that the Peoples
party would attribute it to political
causes. There is now good reason to
believe that the apprehension grew
out of a knowledge Of the conspiracy
which has resulted in this new
iniquity. More than three weeks ago
Mr.. Wakefield, of Lawrence, says
that Topeka lawyer" told him that
he had advised the people Of Hugo
ton to shoot Wood on sight, and that
they would certainly do it; and fur
ther, that they would not be punished
for the crime. Acting upon that in
formation, Mr.. Wakefield used his
influence to prevent Mr.. Wood from
going to Hugoton. The machinery
of Judge Botkin's court had been
brought into requisition, however,
against Mr.. Wood on trumped-up
charge, and he had given bonds for
his appearance. He was there to
protect his bondsmen. The fact that
Judge Botkin adjourned court on his
arrival, an hour before the usual time,
and the further fact that the children
of the town on seeing MIR. Wood arrive
were heard to remark that he was to
be killed that day, speak for them
selves. Children do not talk in this
manner unless they have heard such
remarks from their elders. There is
not a doubt that the plot for this
foul murder was concocted here in
this city during the progress Of the
impeachment trial; and that the "To-
peka lawyer" and others were in the
secret of it. This crime does not rest
alone upon the man who fred the
fatal shots. Far be it from rs to
charge it to the Republican party as q
party. But there are a few unscrup-
ulous political hsrlots who have made
themselves conspicuous in that party,
and who are still prominent in the
councils of the ring, who will stop at
no crime in the pursuit Of their pur-
poses. These men are beyond ques-
tion accessories to this murder; and
in addition to these, those members
of the Senate who voted for the acquit-
tai Of Judge Botkin, and the COVER
nor whose influence was exerted for
the same end, must share 10 certain
measure the responsibility Of the
crime. Judge Botkin was not &C
quilted because anyone believed him
innocent. He was acquitted on pO-
litical grounds alone.

Mr.. Weller attempted to calm the troubled

The previous question was called for and
the matter was postponed indefinitely. The
