THE CAPITALS OLD TRICKS.

Under the above heading the Atchi-
son Champion refers to some gross
Misrepresentation Of the Capital in
accordance with it's standard policy of
action. The Champion quotes this
from the Capital article:
During the life Of John A. Martin the readers
Of the Champion were accustomed TO look for
wit and argument, not obsceuity, In the columns
Of his paper.

THEY ARE DISGUSTED.
From O recent editorial in the New
Vel GAIA .rrn nl:u Ahn eollozu;n

York Sun, we clip the following:
Recklessness, ignorance, incompetence and a
singular chlldishness Of mind marked the course
of the Alliance men In the Minnesota LegiSla-
ture. Their notion of reform seems to be an i'm
possible paternallsm mixed with an unreasoning
fury against all property which has the mlsfOr-
tune not to be farm property. They followed
the example set by the Alliance in the Kansas
Legislature and the Nebraska Legislature, an
example Of crude, crazy and prepOSterouS efforts
at legislation which alarmed and dlsguSted all
men whose minds were not affected with the AL.
lance grip.
There can be no better indication
that the Alliance men are on the
right trail than is afforded in the
fact that such plutocratic journals as
the Sun are becoming alarmed and
disgusted." Were they pleased with
the measures proposed we might well
begin to question their remedial vir-

THE Capital complains because The
ADVOCATE devotes so much Of it's space
to MI. Porter's New York banquet
The ADVOCATE also devotes consider
able space to sfidavits relating to the
Fletcher Merideth forgery. Did the
Capital discover thatl It's silence

CUBA Sun: In q recent number Of
his paper, the Clay Center Times, one
Of the leading Republican papers in
the state, Del Valentine attacks the
leadership of the Republicans and
warmly advocates change by elect
ing and placing new men in the lead.
II Mr.. Valentine had concluded his
editorial by saying that the change
would take place in '92 and that the
Peoples party would figure promi-

MORE BLOODY SHIRT.

Livingston, OF the Georgia Alliance, 1--WE will
abrOgate the pension laws. The war was over
twenty-five years ago, and our southern people
won't stand the sWindle any longer" Let the
Kansas Alliance veteran c0g1tate over this AZ he
plows his corn. Livingston is shining light
among tho southern Alliance leaders, and Ii the
author OF the sub-treaSuFy.-- -Emp0rtG RepubH-
can.
When and where did President Livingston say
this? II looks like another Fletcher Merideth
lle No sane man asking for the votes OF the
people would utter such words, and Livingston
ls not generally credited with being crazy or a
fool -LeGuenlCOrth Times.
The Recorder does not know whether or not
President Livingston ever made use Of the above
expression, but lt does know, and the Times
knows, and has time and again reiterated the
fact that southerners like Livingston entertain
Just such sentiments antagoniStlc to the pension
laws. And why should they not? Believing
that the war was fought TO deprive them Of their
rights and property, Is 1t strange that they
should oppose the penSiOning Of men who, in
their view of the matter, fought them, and sub
verted their ideas Of government? t?-HoItOn Re
c0rder.
The above tale was exploded last
winter by personal letter from Mr..
Livingston to the editor Of The AD-
vooATE, pronouncing every line and
syllable Of it a forgery. The story
was q product Of the combined wis
dom and patriotism Of Joe Hudson
and old John Livingston, of New
York, whose unssvory record we pub
lishsd at the time.
Is it not q little humilisting to the
Republican press that the only weap-
on they have with which to oppose
this Alliance movement, is the publi-
cation of reports like the above and
like the Merideth resolution, with
which they hope to play upon the
preiudices of the people9 What must
they really think Of themselves after
lending their aid to the circulation Of
so many forgeries and talsehoods
which have been positively shown to
be such by incontestible testimonyG
It is a poor cause indeed that has no
better argument to be urged in it's
support than these silly tales by
which it is hoped to excite prejudice
against the men who are engaged in
the Alliance movement. The mem
bers of the Alliance in Kansas are the
same men who in the years that are
past have been identified with the
parties OF the past The Recorder
and other Republican papers, have
been won't TO boast Of the intelligence
and patriotism of the voters Of Kan
sas who have rolled up its immense
Republican msjorities. Now that the
intelligence Of these men has led
them to vote another than the Repub-
licsn ticket, these patriotic editors
are unable to find terms in their vo-
cabularies sufficiently severe with
which to denounce and abuse them.
It would seem that experience would
have ere this shown the futility OF
these methods, but it seems other

MISPLACED CONFlDEN e.

MIR. f. Paxton has not the same
faith in the rec,itude of the human
family that he had a few days ago,
and he has financial reasons for his
change of heart. Mr.. Paxton con-
ducts pop corn, cigar and candy

office. He is not in good health and
cannot always attend to his duties.
He was feeling unusually bad last
Wednesday, and he placed in charge
of his establishment a young man
named John Shaw, who had been
recommended to him as thoroughly re-
liable. He was left in charge, and to
make long story short, when Mr..
Paxton returned to his place of bust
ness this morning he found the door
partially open, the key sticking in the
lock but Shaw had ab-conded with
all the stock in trade. He had sold
out 90 cents in popcorn, a box OF
cigars and appropriated the proceeds
Of another box which Mr.. Paxton had

it with him. The loss, of course, was
small, but the proprietor is d poor
