A NEW CONSTITUTION.

Much was said year or two ago
about constitutional convention. So
strong was the demand upon the part of
the people that the legislature at its last
session provided for vote On the subject
and every ticket for the election next
month will have printed on it the propo-
sition, ''ior and against. - The matter is
no being discussed by any of the papers,
as neither party has made it an issue.
The question is left for each voter to ex-
anime into and decide for himself with
out regard to party affiliations. II Kan
sas is to soon enter on to new and
prosperous era, in which land prices will
double and all values enhance and times
become good, new constitution of en-
larged and progressive measures might
prove good thing. Certain it Is that
under proper provisions our county and
city governments could be made to cost
one-half less. Official salaries and Off
cial fees in nine cases out of ten are out
of all proportion to the responsibilities
and work of the officials.

THE WEST SIDE COMMISSIONER.

After most careful inquiry among
his neighbors and of men who have
known him the longest and most init
mately, we are convinced that the Re
publicans of the west side did most
wise and good thing in nominating d. A.
Nickerson for county commissioner We
find that he is not only competent
man but a very careful and prudent
man who will look after the interests of
the taxpayers and the expenditures Of
the county just as he would look after
his own. He is man of sterling quail
ties whose word is as good as his bond.
He is reliable and can be depended upon
for any emergency. In short he is a
christian gentleman of the highest char
acter and if elected will make an official
of whom all the people of the county will
be proud, and whom all can trust with.

IT WAS JERRY SIMPSON,

Congressman Stone of Kentucky, was
said TO have been one of the parties who
entered into collision to have Henry
Georges book printed and distributed at
public expense. He is a candidate for
reelection and his farmer constituents
are after him for endorsing the single
land tax scheme. His opponents were
making such inroads into his ranks that
Mr., Stone was forced to explain. He
referred to the fact that the permanent
record shows that this highly anti-far-
mer measure was Endorsed by
Jerry Simpson as part of
his speech. Stone says if he
had been foolish enough to endorse such
chapter he would withdraw from the
race and give his farm to his opponent.
OF course this explanation from the
Kentucky congressman will be accepted
by his constituents as satisfactory, and
while it may be literally true, as far as
it goes, it does not abaolve him and his
party from responsibility in the matter.
Jerry Simpson could not have secured
the insertion of the Henry George matter
in the congressional record without the
consent of the majority party in the
house. In point of fact, it was regard
ed as sharp political trick by the DEM
ocrats and was connived at by them for
the DELIBERATE purpose of securing, as
they supposed, party advantage.

MRS. LEASES NEGRO BRUTE.

the Republican ticket and the white men
are going to vote for Mr. Cleveland.
Brother Weaver and sister Lease come
down here and tell us we are poor and
want money. Don't we know that? But
they don't tell us how to get it. Then
they tell Us about free coinage. Mr..
Thomas Watson, who calls himself the
great financier of the age, has done told
us that if we have free coinage it won't
give us but thirty cents apiece. Amt
that limited? Oh, no, brothers these
folks can't fool us. We are going to vote
for Mr.. Harrison and the niggers of
Georgia are going to vote for Governor
Northern because the Republicans have
no ticket in the field and the Democrats
have given us schools for our children.
These folks want Us to put them in
Washington to milk the COW while we

do it. There is no more chance of
Brother Weaver being elected president

WHO WAS HE.

The agent who wrote the Associated
Press report of the Columbian demon
stration at Chicago on Friday, and which
appeared in the EAGLES Geographic
columns yesterday morning. was more
equal to the occasion than any one Of all
the famed orators and poets who were
permitted to appear before the vast as
semblage to link their names with the
historical event. Probably some un-
known boy, working for al, insignificant
salary did it, but his powers of descrip-
ton no less than his mastery of language
are remarkable.

There are scores and hundreds of
Peoples prrty men throughout this dis
trict who, becoming thoroughly dis
gusted with the acts and declarations of
Jerry Simpson, will not vote for him at
the coming election. regarding him as
they do, and rightly, a failure as rep
resentative and a detriment to district
ard state. These men will drop Jerry
in perfect good faith, but intend to sup
port their party state and county ticket,
unmindful of the fact that he is can
didate for the United States senate, and
to vote for the Peoples party candidates
for the state egislature-senate and
lower house-is to vote to place Simpson
in position where he can and will do the
state and district infinitely more harm
than he has and can in congress. A
vote for a Peoples party candidate for
the legislature will be a vote for Jerry
Simpson for the United States senate.

provided at station houses every few miles

other, taking a fresh horse at each and
leaving his tired animal, and when himself
too tired to 20 farther gave the mail to an
other rider and stopped to rest. The distance
was trayersed by he ponies in about seven
and one-half days or at a uniform rate of
about twelve miles an hour. 1t was the
