The Emerson Piano.

These instruments have enjoyed a
high reputation for more than forty
years. Are Brilliant and Musical in
Tone, and afford most beautiful
accompaniment to vocal music-the
tone having that rare sympathetic quail
ity which blends admirably with the
human voice. They are durable, being
constructed of the Best Materials, by
the Most Skillful Workmen. They have
earned an especial reputation for Keep
ing in Tune, and also for retaining in a
most remarkable degree their original
fullness of tone-never growing thin
or wiry with age.
The Emerson Upright Pianos es-
pecially have obtained a remarkable
success during the past few years, and
have invariably received a hig1 award
wherever exhibited. In all the essential
qualities of first class instrun ent they
are second to no pianos manufactured
N the country.

The War is Over, Oaraway

To the cranky, unreasonable blow
hards who still ''vote as they shot" and
can see TO honesty in their fellow men
who differ with them politely, we
have only to say that we regret that
they were not hit harder and shown
more plainly their weakness and imbe-
cility. Dem ocrats do not want to make
friends with such bowling fanatics; we
do not desire that they ever join our
ranks.-DEMOCRAT.
Now our old soldier friends under
stand the matter. They must quit vot-
ing as they shot and help send brigadiers
to congress, and then you can have the
little Joint defenders" permission to
join the democratic party. We do not
believe that the rank of the democratic
party endorse such an expression as
Stokey has made. They can take a
little mud and make better looking
man. and little quick lime and manu-
facture more active brains than he
exhibits. If the statement had been
made in Mississippi it would have
caused no surprise, but an editor(?( of a
democrat paper, away out In bleeding
loyal Kansas, to indulge in such SANDER
GUS and villainous vituperation of the
old soldiers should not be expected.
accept it complacently, is an impossi-
bility.-Register.
We had supposed that there still re-
mained sufficient manhood and common
sense with the editor of the Register
to enable him to learn by the experience
of the last few months that the war is
over, and that his methods of con-
temptible y;llifcation, lying misrepre-
sentation, and the use Of hard names
and slurring insinuations does not
meet with the approval of the majority
OF the people of Barton county and this
congressional district. His own read
ers tell him openly that he is response
BILE for the defeat of Chester /. Long
by reason of these same methods of un-
reasonable abuse which he used against
Jerry Simpson; and yet. he continues
to keep to his idiocy by singing out the
editor of the DEMOCRAT and opening
the same nd of a fight on him.

CONCERNING the so-called stalwart
democrats Of the state, and the charge
that Ex-Governor Click was playing in :
to their hands or having anything to do
with them, the following from the
Wichita Beacon of the Sd inst, would
seemingly show Mr. Clicks position:
Ex-Governor Click came down from
Atchison yesterday and bought car
load Of sheep OF J. r. Brown, who lives
six miles north of Kingman, for breed
ers for his farm. He claims that the
outlook for wool is bright; that there
will be demand for all wool goods,
instead Of shoddy made from rags cast
off by the pauper labor of Europe.
Speaking Of the Crouch-Mitchell-Ha
Iis end of the republican campaign he
said: They do not have as good stand
ing with the national committee as the
Kansas republicans. They are con-
sidered fraud. We are willing to
take.them back in the democratic party
when they purge themselves OF repub-
lcanism and bura their records in this
campaigu.''

he Was From Kansas,

An amusing incident occurred il the
city court yesterday, says the Nashville
Banner, of November IL. A nicely
dressed old gentleman who sported a
silk hat and pair of gold trimmed spec
tacles was prisoner at the bar, being
charged with drunkenness. The respect
able appearance of the old gentleman
attracted the attention of Judge Bell
and he scanned the prisoner before him
with more than usual interest.
'You are charged with being drunk
on the street, sir; what have you to
say?" asked his Honor.
The prisoners face lit up with a
smile as he said: Judge, am guilty,
1 suppose, but if you will bear with
me moment will explain. You see
l live in Kansas and am a democrat.

Graf, and do it in bleeding, loyal
Kansas" too; and every man of intel
ligence and sober thought will stand
by us in the position we take.
There are, we regret much to say, a
number of men. grown to the age of
accountability and sufficiently educated
to enable them to read and inform
themselves, who have stood on the
streets of Great Bend and asserted
that the reason why they proposed vot-
ing the republican ticket was because
they still ''voted as they shot," and
that it was mot necessary to give any
other reason"
Would any man of reason make such
statement? And do the people of
this enlightened day believe that such
cranks and thick headed nincompoops
help the cause of any party they may
profess to train with?
No, Caraway, you can no longer fire
the prejudices OF the people to such an
extent that they will longer vote against
their honest judgment; your ELUSIVE
outburst of indignation and misrepre-
sentation can no longer be endorsed by
the people of Kansas. The lessons of
the campaign just closed should have
taught you that. There are many 10y
al old soldiers in Barton county who
still believe that republican principles
are right and are ready and willing to
give their reasons for thus believing;
and we have the utmost respect for
them, because we know they do not en-
dorse or commend the fanatical senti-
ments expressed by the few whom we
have referred to and whom YOU take
as your ideal old soldier. There are
also many loyal old soldiers who are
democrats and peoples party men, and
they. hold in deepest respect the politi-
cal beliefs and faiths of all comrades
who remain within reason and do not
act like bowling fanatics.
The cruel war is over, Caraway, and
if you must still believe it is not and
must keep on fighting it-on paper
you will have to hunt some more con-
genial territory; some place where peo-
pie have not been bored to death by
your sole and only stock in trade your
detestable melting to bitter quarrel by
stirring up the lower grade sentiments
of the human heart. There may vet
be hope of your reformation, but we
doubt it. For the last eight or ten
years you have been growing worse
and worse as political bigot and bull
dozer, until you have become so soaked
and infused with the destroying mala-
dy that you cannot even keep the devil
in you under CONTROL in private or busi-
ness matters; SO we doubt if there is
longer hope for your reformation.
You may find forgiveness for your sins
at the throne of God, but we doubt if
you can ever be forgiven for the wrongs
you have done long suffering public.

Is THIS CALAMITY

Lieutenant Governor Felt, who pub
fishes the Atchison Champion, a red
hot republican sheet which always
championed the cause of the state
house ring and fought hard for the re-
publican ticket in the recent campaign,
has been awakened from a dream, as it
were, and publishes long, two column
editorial on the political situation
which sounds SO much like arguments
of the papers which have been success
full in leading the people OF Kansas in
to victorious rebellion against the mo-
nOpoly party that 1t should be immedi-
ately dubbed by the rest Of the repub-
ncan press as calamity sheet"
Here are some Of the plain truths the
article contains:
Reform or revolution! Which shall
it be2 There has never been time in
the history of the world when SO many
people were giving patient, thoughtful
study to financial questions as at the
presant moment. There Is something
vitally wrong and the people know it..
The people know they are sick. They
think they know what ails them.
They are seeking the remedy. Affairs
are rapidly assuming condition when
it will be the struggle between organ
lied capital and organized citizens.
Trusts and combines govern the coun-
try. They elect congress, make and
unmake laws, are intrenched in courts
and dictate party platforms. The
struggle is bound to come. Resolu-
tions cannot prevent it. Party promi-
ses cannot stay its course. There
must be prompt, absolute reform in f.
nancial affairs OF revolution In par
ties. The people know that a policy
which makes combines rich and indi-
viduals poor Is radically wrong. Dol
lars combine to double their value.
The people are combining to save their
own. The issue is here. It must be
met. To attempt to evade it is abject
folly. To refuse to listen to its de-
mand is to invite disaster. To make
the fight in the interest of organized
means revolution! To say that the
ground SWELL is all caused by dema-
gogues and shysters is to initiate the
imbecility of George the Third, who
regarded Washington as rebel, Han
cock as a demagogue and Patrick Hen
ry a political adventurer. There are
many grains of golden truth hidden in
the train loads of buncombe offered by
the populist movement. To disregard
those truths is both unwise and unpat-
riotic and swings wide open the gate
way of chaos.
''When the Armours can fix the
prices of every hog and steer grown on
Kansas prairies, it is time to demand
halt. When the banks of Boston and
New York can in one hour close every
bank in twenty-five states and cause
the loss of hard earned millions in the
interior cities and towns, is it any
wonder there was general distrust?
When ring of soulless grain gamblers
in Chicago and New York can dictate
the price of the cereals of all the west
and Uniied States senator can touch
a button and raise the price of coal Oil
so per cent; when the coal kings in
Pennsylvania can say whether you
shall pay six dollars or twelve dollars a
ton for anthracite, is it any wonder
there is revolution? And the tariff
had nothing to do with it?''

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
GOOD Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

Iae Pacific Improvement Conapanv has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
Iano IN the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land TO
land Of far average quality, and is offered at
nom SO TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 12o, $50 and $50 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the paw
ment Of interest only for three years at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual nstallments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal IS to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay fve equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate OF 2 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured That this is an opportunity 10 purchase

The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject or this advertisement will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
al acre and for qualities grading down 10 fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands TO actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
Body OF land was the breaking up of a largs
