VICE PREsIpENr FIELD HOPES n
MAKE CLEVELAND PRESIDENT.

OMAHA, NEE, July 3.-Among those
who have been named for candidate of
the peoples party for vice president is
Judge J. w. Field, of Albemarle coun-
ty, Va. who was for five years attorney
general of the state of Virginia, elected
on the democratic ticket, but who left
the party and was chairman f the
recent state convention of the now party
and is here as one of the delegates at
large. Delegates from a number of
southern states have urged d1nsidera-
ton of his name for vice presidential
nominee.
Speaking of the situation of affairs in
the southeast, Judge Field said to-day:
''Virginia is for any good man, but
strongly prefers that he should be taken
from the northwest. We we're all fc-
Gresham because we believe that be-
would have brought great personal
strength to the new movement and was
a man of purity and uprigbtness in
sympathy with our principles. Wea-er
would be acceptable to us. Yes, we
would all support Kyle, but he is in the
senate and we don't think it would be
good policy for us to take away sol
der from his post of duty and put him
in another place.
1--WE want to keep all we've got and
get all we can. Frankly, 1 do not
think that with any man, unless it be
Judge Gresham possibly, we can elect
our man; but I think We can carry
enough states to throw the presidency
INTO the house and also elect enough
congressman to make the peoples party
representatives a balance of power
which will prevent all hostile and vicious
legislation and hold things until We can
go back to the people and let them see
to it that their representatives, who,
under the caucus DEGREES of the old par
ties, no longer represent the people, do
what the people want"

many Farmers % foolish that they do
not realize the injury which calamity
howlers and repudiators OF debt have
done to the state. and not many who
enjoy seeing Kansas placed in the atti-
tude OF pauper state before the world
Settled largely by eastern and northern
men, who do not forget the outrages by
which invaders tried to force slavery
upon freedom-loving settlers, Kansas
was not the most likely Of all states to
help the democratic party in its emer-
gency, and so soon as it became clear
that the alliance movement had become
mere tender to the democratic ma
chine, the reaction to sturdy republican
ism was only question OF time. Now
it is evident that 1t comes this year.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Eleven new members were taken into
the Second Presbyterian church, North
Topeka, Sunday.
The members of the First Christian
church of Topeka have decided to CON-
plete their church building. Last Sun
day Rev. Smith asked for subscription
for this purpose and A,700 was offered
in short time. This is certainly q
splendid offering and indicates the cour-
age and devotion of the membership of
this church.
Last Sabbath witnessed quite large
ingathering to the membership of the
First Presbyterian church Of Topeka.
The total number received was forty six,
eighteen by letter and twenty-eight on
profession, mostly from the Sabbath
school, which was gratifying to the
workers in that department. OF tho
number received fourteen were baptised;
there were also five little children hap
tised at the same time. The communion
services were attended with unusual in
terest, and the new pastor. d.. Alder
son, has reason to feel amply compen-
stated for his earnest efforts for tho al.
vation Of souls during his few month";
labor in his new field. His good
audiences would indicate an acceptabls

A HEAVY LOAD.


rec".o OF Adlai E. Stevenson rivals in
brevity the chapter on snakes in Ice
land.
Philadelphia Call: Mr.. Stevenson is
now an uncompromising democrat,
though he has been republican, a
greenbacker, and an Independent repub-
lican in turn.
Philadelphia Call: Stevenson, by ad-
hitting that he not only was green
hacker but that he still holds these
views, is not helping his ticket very
much. Mr.. Stevenson is talking more
than Is absolutely necessary.
Fort Dodge Messenger: With Cleve-
lands pension vetoes in one hand and
Stevenson's bitter wartime copperhead
record in the other, the democratic par
ty makes a great bid for the soldier
vote. We think we see the old soldiers
falling over themselves in their eager
ness to heap honors on these two men.
st. Louis Star-Sayings: Adlai E.
Stevenson, the democratic candidate for
vice president, it appears, was candi-
date for presidential elector in 1864 on
the platform which declared the war q
failure. The old soldiers of the country
will see to it that Mr.. Stevenson's cam
paign this year turns out most dreary
failure.
Philadelphia North American: To
the question ''Who is Stevenson?" we
reply, Mr.. Stevenson is one of the rem
nants of the old greenback party. He
was nominated to catch the riff-raff of
the old fat money craze, but it is rather
doubtful if he can even gather up that
scattered wreck of very attenuated
matter.
Albany Journal: The Hon. Adlai E.
Stevenson's 'war record" seems to have
been made as assistant postmaster gen.
eral. He did valiant service, decapi-
tatmg no less than 45,373 republicans
who held presidential postmaster
ships. It was all done in the interest of
Grover Cleveland and the sacred cause
of civil service reform.
Albany Times Union: Since the Hon.
Adlai E. Stevenson was put on the tick
ct for vice president, it has recalled to
mind that one of the last official acts of
Mr.. Cleveland, while president, was to
nominate Mr.. Stevenson for justice of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, but the republican senate
failed to act upon the nomination.
New York Press: The spectacle of a
robust and roaring spokesman like Can
didate Stevenson posing on a platform
which seriously declares it's devotion to
the sacred cause of civil service reform,
is enough to make even the Tammany
tiger forget bis many wounds and split
his lonesome ribs with laughter. As
serio-comic act in politics it beats any
thing the country has ever seen.
Milwaukee Wisconsin: Since it has
been discovered that Adlai E. Stevenson
has damaging war record, the demo-
Gratis are compelled to fall back on
Cleveland to represent the soldier ele-
ment. It will be remembered that
Grover answered his country's call by
buying a substitute. But the last New
York legislature passed bill to refund
the money which Grover and others
spent for proxy patriots.

THE FRAUD" PLATFORM.

From the st Joseph Herald.
Let it not be forgotten that the dem
ocratic platform does not stop with de-
nouncing the Mckinley law and prom
ising it's repeal, but that it describes all
protection of all kinds in any degree as
"a fraud" and pledged the party to an
tagonize it. There is the issue, clear
and unmistakable, and the republican
party is more than ready to meet it.

DEMOCRATIC HELPS.
From the Kansas City. No., Journal.

From the Kansas City, No., Journal.
The democratic party enjoys one i'm
portant advantage in national elections.
The third parties, whether Intentionally
or unintentionally, are its coadjutators
or assistants. This is the result of what
has seemed to be enduring political con-
ditions. The south ordinarily is set down
as safely democratic to start with, no
matter what new parties or new issues
may arise. 1t is only necessary then
for the democratic party to roll up a
big enough majority among the saloons
and slums of New York city, and to
carry to or three other close states, and
it comes out victorious.
Four-fifths of the states which give
their electoral vote to the democratic
ticket are not affected by issues or can
didates; they are democratic through race
prejudice and war prejudice. The slum
vote of New York is even more needless of
principle, if possible, than the e1-rebel
vote of the south.
When new parties start up they must
look for converts and recruits to states
which are controlled politically by ideas;
hence to states where the republican
party, the party of ideas, is in the as
cendant. 1t is, consequently, in repub-
lican states, or republican communities,
that the third party gets it's strength
and does it's mischief Its membership
is mostly drawn from the republican
ranks and the republican party is the
loser, and the democratic party the
corresponding gamer from it's exist
ence.
In New York, in 1884, the prohibition
party made an earnest campaign
throughout the rural districts, and drew
enough votes from the republicans to
throw the state to Cleveland, with the
aid of the frauds committed in the city.
In this way the republican party suf-
fered its first and only national defeat
since the war. This year the new ALI
ance party, if it does anything at all,
will do for democracy in a few western
states what the prohibition party did
for it in 1884. In South Dakota, Iowa,
Nsbraska, Kansas, and one or two other
states which have heretofore been re-
publican, the democratic party is build
ing it's hopes upon the alliance move
ment. If a democratic president is
elected this year it will be because some
of these states have been lost to the re-
publicans through the efforts Of the
peoples party.
These third parties never accomplish
anything; that is, for themselves. They
spring up, do little indirect service for
democracy for few years, and then die
out. Others arise from their ashes and
go on doing the same thing. Each ex-
poets to perform wonders and in few
years to supplant one or both of the
old parties. But they seldom grow to
proportions big enough to carry
states.
1t is an evil that cannot be prevented,
hence mnst be endured. 1t is one of
the unfair inequalities against which
the republican party is forced to con-
tend, in its efforts to secure the coun-
try good government, but in spite of
which it fortunately has generally
triumphed. There is no very gooa rea-
son for supposing that it will not sue
coed in doing 30 this year.

THE democratic plank on the ques-
ton Of reciprocity is simply this: We
denounce the work Of the republican

labor be admitted freely to come in COM
petition with American factories and
American workmen-Lincoln, Neb.,

The democratic party kindly presents
to the American working men chance
to elect to the presidency a man who
stands upon platform which distinctly
declared in favor of placing them on the

The American workingman will go for

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

From the New York Press.
In nominating Stevenson or vice
president the democratic party confers
honor and distinction upon the hum
griest and most defiant spokesman who
figured in tho public service under the
Cleveland administration. That's the
kind of civil service reform party the
democracy Is.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
It is all very we'll for Stevenson to
say that he was in favor of the war for
the preservation of the Union, but the
ugly fact remains that he was a candi-
date for presidential elector on the
democratic peace-at-any price platform

men from Maiden and Bloomfield, Mo-,

He had lived in Indian territory since

him. 1t was believed they were mem
bers of regularly organized band of
horse thieves and they were arrested.
There was regular battle in the court
room where the men were being tried
for horse thieving. Miller and Moore
fired on Mayor Cooper and Marshal
Sprinkle. The second shot pierced
Cooper's heart. Sprinkle was shot three
times and Moore was wounded in the
hip. He ran into field near the town
and killed himself to escape capture.

Arid Lands Legislation.

WASHINGTON, March Sit is claimed
that the bill introduced in the house
yesterday, and which will be favorably
reported from the committee on arid
lands tomorrow, stands very good
chance of passing the congress. 1t is
claimed that lying west of the twenty
seventh meridian, where the line. be-
tween arabic and arid lands is drawn,
there are $4,000 900 acres of land,
which under this bill will be turned
over, to the states and territories in
which they are situated. The mineral
lands are reserved, and the states are
prohibited from disposing of them in
tracts greater than 100 acres. The adj
vantage clsimed for this plan is that it
will take the land department practic-
ally out of the hands of the government
except for the settlement of land now
taken and awaiting patent. 1t is
thought it will lead to greater saving,
as the land department is little more
than self-sustaining now. The passage
of the bill is an attempt to prevent for
all time any expenditures for the
reclamation OF the arid lands of the
west

fired a revolver at the stranger. The
wife threw lamp at the husband, set
ting fire to the bed. He continued to
empty his revolver, and then cut his
wlfe's throat. The blaze from the burn
ing bedclothes called out the fire depart
ment. The fire was extinguished with
out loss. Mason surrendered and was
locked up with Mrs. Helen Walker and
Henry Sharey, the two who were in the
house. Mrs. Mason was then taken to
