THEY CONDEMN THEHUTCHINsON NEWS
We are in receipt OF a set Of resolu-
tions from Lincoln Alliance No, l22
Of Reno county severely ceRsuring
the Hutchinson NeUs ior its "misquO-
tationa, Misrepresentation and unfair
criticisms Of Senator PETERS speech
before the Reform Press association
at It's recent meeting AZ Hutchinson"
We are OF the opinion that the Necs

better 10 correctly report what il un-
dertakesto report than TO misrepresent

misrepresented the proceedings OF
the Press association as we'll as the
Senator'S speech. We were present
from the beginning to the end OF
every session Of the association and
the first indication we saw or heard
Of any wrangle we saw in the columns
of the Ne'cs. The report was a false

ANOTHRR OnTRAaE.

The American Live Stock Commis-
sion company, which the Kansas ALI
snCe Exchange company had made
it's agent for the sale Of live stock, has
been expelled from the Kansas City
Exchange. Why? The Live Stock
Exchange has fixed a certain arbitrary
rate of commission which shall be
charged for the sale Of stock, by
which immense profits have been
realized at the expense OF stock men.
The American Live Stock Commits
sion company is a cooperative COM
pany which pays a dividend TO its
stockholders from the proceeds OF It's
business. II violated no rule OF the
Live Stock Exchange IL charged
the same commission as other sales
men. The members Of the Alliance
being stockholders in the company
through the Kansas Alliance Ex-
change company were allowed to par
ticipate in the profits Of the business.
For this the company is expelled, and
an attempt is made TO organize a boy
colt against it among the buyers Of
live stock. This gives the screw one
more turn. We repeat our question
of a few weeks ago; how long will
such things be tolerated under the
laws Of this country, and how long
will the people submit to these out
RACES?

way. We shall refrain from any OK
tended report Of this matter until the
investigation is complete and we have
time and opportunity 10 examine the
evidence carefully. Then we shall
endeayor 10 give a fair summary Of
the facts and IL we have heretofore
done any one injustice in our refer
ence 10 this subject we shall atone for
H. Those who appear as the guilty
parties, however must be held re-
sponsiblo for this crime.

EVIDENCE IN THE COFFEYVILLE DYNA
MITE CASE.

A correspondent from Barnard
writes to ask if we will publish the
evidence taken by the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the Cofeyville
dynamite outrage. He states that
their banker up there says the Vim
cents have been proven guilty
In reply we will say; this testimony
will make book of from 60G 10 1000
pages and we could not therefore pub
lish il very we'll. We shall publish
the finding of the committee when it
is reached.
With respect to the VinCents being
proven guilty, in cur judgment the
shoe is on the other foot. The testi-
mony shows one Of the blaCkest con-
splracies against the VincenHs and
against the UnionLabor party by Re-
publican leaders that ever was con-
cocted by any set Of pirates that were
ever permitted TO run at large The

welfare. The FIRST Of these facts is
that the debt was contracted in the
interest Of the last politio'l campaign.
It is a result OF thousands Of copies
Of Tm ADVOCATE sent into missionary
fields during that contest, They full
filed their mission We trust that
even the Capital and the Indepen-
dent will concede that they we're not
altogether a failure. We would also
call attention 10 the fact that being
in debt we are not alone even among
newspapers Some Of those who are
volunteering this gratuitous advertis-
ing Of our private business affairs
are so far ahead of us in this respect
as to entirely distance u.s. Our bust
ness, we will add, is maintaining all
expenses OF the Office and paying our
debts as fast as they become due
How is it with the Capital aud
others? Are they all doing this3
Another fact to which we would
invite attention is that we started
this enterprise in August, 1889, with
out a dollar, and any newspaper man
who will take the trouble TO examine
our books and our plant and fran
Chise, will pronounce il one Of the
most valuable in the state to-day. IL
has grown from it's small beginning q
little over a year ago to a national
circulation and a reputation and
recognized standing unprecedented
in consideration Of it's age in the
newspaper history Of the west. II is
fully able to take care Of itself fnan-
cially and otherwise. How is il with
the Independent? With the age and
experience Of many years il has not
as many subscribers as il had a year
ago, and it has never seen the day
that it had three thousand names on
It's list II is safe to say it's list will
grow smaller in the future. 1t has q
rival now that will take what little
patronage it has had heretofore on
account Of it's location at the county
seat Of Jefferson county.
Don't worry about THE ADVOCATE,
gentlemen; it will pay its debts and
be on deck again in 1892.

A FEW FACTS.

The Capital the Oskaloosa hide
pendent and a few others have de-
lighted recently in advertising the
fact that The ADVOCATE is little in
debt We do not propose to deny the
soft impeachment, but there are a few
facts TO which we would invite the at
tentiOn Of those who are just now so
solicitous in regard to our material

THE KANSAS MERCANTILE ASSOCIATION.

THE KANSAS MERCANTILE ASSOCIATION
Chief Justice Horton, in his deois-
ion declaring null and void the char
tor OF ex-Attomey General Bradiord's
church festival guessing match, says
The testimony Of r. W. Kline, the general
manager OF the association, shows that the oh.
leOt In obtaining tho charter was 10 enable the as-
sOcatiOn 10 carry on the identical business which
the evidence disclos08 Is carried on by the asso-
citation.
After citing the testimony, che laws
and decisions relating 20 lotteries, the
chief justice continues:
Clearly, the buslnessi In which tile association Is
engaged Is "a scheme FOR the distribution OF
prizea by chance II has an the essential feat.
ures Of n lottery and should be 20 construed. A
purchaser OF q certificate or ticket from the asso-
citation does 40 with the hope or expectation Oi
drawing prize. His purpose Is 10 try his luck
at fortunes wheel and not 10 geta lead pencil.
Within the definition OF Webster and the
authorities cited, the purpose Of Che association
and its oiiicers and agents Is 10 establish and
carry OnA lottery The purpose expressed In
the charter OF tho association shows that pur.
Chasep OF merchandise from the association
with premium numbers, were entitled 70 the
selection OF other articles, that Is, prizes There
fore IL S evident that the parties fling the char
tor and organizing the association intended 10
carry on "a scheme for the distribution OF prizes
by chance" that is, 10 establish lottery This
II unlawful Such q scheme or business has no
warrant or authority from any statute, and Is In
direct violation OF the constitution Of the state.
Even II there Is no statute prescribing fines
and penalties 10 DO inflicted upon tho persons
engaged In carrying on lotteries In the state, yet
the constitution iS so far seliexeCuting that no
charter can be granted or corporation organized
In the state for lottery business, or the sale OF
lottery tickets. The alleged charter Of the do
fendant will therefore bo declared null and void,
aud all OF the defendants arc hereby prohibited
from tTanaacting the business or lottery do
scrbed in the petition.
Judgment will be entered accordingly against
tho defendants with cost"
IL will be seen from the foregoing
that this institution is enjoined from
further transaction OF it's nefarious
business and the good citizens Of
Kansas City, Kansas should see TO IL
that they Oboy Che INDUCTION.

ANOTHER foolish and expensive proceeding Of
the state Legislature was the Cofeyvllle dyna-
mite investigation. COlbB Tribune.
Yes, expensive to the Republican
party. 1t will cost them what little

cent people irrespective of their po-
litical affiliations.

CONFEssEs HIS HYPOCRISY.

Confesses Che hypocrisy Of his party,
and seeks justification in the cry, you
are another" He has a long screed
in his issue of the 5th in which he
arraigns us for hypocrisy upon the
prohibition question and upon the
question OF service pensions. We
respectfully plead not guilty, and ap-
peal 10 the record. True we did not
howl ourselves hoarse on the ques-
tion Of prohibition, and at the same
time support a candidate for Cover
nor who was directly responsible for
the license Of the sale OF liquor in
every city Of the state contrary to
law. We simply said that prohibit
tion was not an issue in the campaign,
and this was true We desire to say
to Brother Beck that when this ques-
tion becomes an issue, as it will
when a new constitution is submitted
TO the people, he will hear from The
ADVOCATE, and It's voice will have no
uncertain sound. If he will be pre-
pared to 90 as far as we shall when
the proper time comes, he will 60
farther than he ever has yet
Next with regard to the pension
question. Our Peoples platform goes
farther than any other platform ever
adopted on this subject. Friend
Beck complains that nothing was said
upon this subject at Ocala. Wewould
remind him that the Ocala conven-
tion was not political in its charac-
ter. It was a convention Of only one
Of the industrial organizations that
enter into the Peoples party. Ifyou
desire a national declaration upon
this subject please wait for the meet
ing at Cincinnati on the 10Th Of May,
and most especially watch for the
proceedings of the convention Of
February %, 1892 Don't kick on
national platforms until we have a
national convention and adopt one.
After that time you may expend all
your force in the fruitless endeavor
to overthrow or undermine 1t.
Respecting the visionary policy Of
our party we here and now defy any
assault upon one Of our principles by
any more formidable weapon than
that Of ridicule and classification. If
there is anything weak about them
please point out the weakness in a
sensible and logical way We shall
Immediately after the adjournment Of
the Legislature begin a systematic
presentation Of arguments in support
Of the Alliance demands, and we will
see If any of our Republican or Demo
cratic friends will attempt any fair
and legitimate discussion Of our prin-
ciples. They never have done it and
we aver that they do not dare to do
il. Abuse, ridicule and falsehood are
substituted for argument, and the
people are asked to feed upon such
husks and be satisfied. Is il any
wonder that Kansas witnessed a poll
tical revolution in November last7

me no good. l was hopeless of ever re-
covering. thought too late to try your
medicines, but with death staring me in
the face / determined to do SO. am
pleased that / did it, for at this date

ference in my health. I feel like another
