THE SHAM STILL works.

From the Kansas City, Kan. Gazette.
Chairman Briedenthall says there viii
be great number of farmers in Topeka
at the Inauguration; that they never
saw an Inauguration and that they
never elected governor before, and
they will have some curiosity to see him
inaugurated. The money lenders, COM
mission men, bankers and broken-down
lobbyists, running the peoples party
evidently take the Kansas farmers for a
lot of yawps. OF the ten governors Kan
sas has had up to date, three of them,
Robinson, Harvey and Click, never did
anything else than farm; and they re-
side on their farms yet. Carney was q
merchant, Martin newspaper publisher,
Crawford, st. John and Humphrey were
lawyers, and Osborn and Anthony gen.
eral hustlers. Carney was the only
one among them that had any means,
and leading manipulation of the
peoples party to-day helped bleed him
into bankruptcy. Every Legislative
body that ever assembled in Kansas
contained majority OF farmers. There
is not law on the statute book to-day
that was not made by farmer votes in
the legislature. How tiresome this
farmer racket is! and how long can tho
sham be worked?

AMERICAN DOCTRINE,

From the Atchison Champion.
Our London cablegram is q pretty
etectual answer to the democratic cam.
paign liars. 1.-THE robber tariff they
said was the cause Of the ''strikes,"
''tramps' and poverty" in this coun-
try. The horrible condition in England
and Europe where 'the blessings Of free
trade" and the much boosted democratic
unrestricted trade" have full swing,
seems to show that the democratic cam
paign liars are confronted by "a condi-
ton, not q theory" and very serious
condition it is too. Another thing Mr..
Cleveland and his friends will do well
to bear in mind is, that the "single gold
Standard prevails in those countries
where famine, strikes and tramps are
now doing their deadly work. Free
labor, and plenty of it, is the American
doctrine.

JERRY'S TREACHERY,

A Washington correspondent says
"Simpson's treachery and hypocrisy
assisted in it's defeat last session. The
cattlemen on the strip had promised to
vote their cowboys for Simpson if he
would play the role of traitor to the
wishes of the people of the Seventh dis
trict.
"He followed out his part and it is
now known that illegal voters from the
strip we're permitted to vote at certain
places where all the election judges were
alliance men, and they came in strong
enough to save Simpson from defeat.
His connivlng with cattle plutocrats on
the strip extended his job and salary
two years. This much he got out Of
it that is visible to any one who has been
in position to get at his schemes here
and knows how the cowboys voted on
the border.
"Those who are deeply interested in
opening the strip have no hopes of get
ting Simpsons support. They, know
ing he was controlled by the Cherokee
strip cattlemen before, of course will re-
main their lobbyist, as the job having
paid him so we'll SO far it will not be in
the makeup of bis appetite to give it up.
"It has always been true that the
strongest opposition, in fact the only
formidable opposition. to getting lands
open in the territory has come from
the cattlemen, who are financially inter-
ested. They put up the financial oppo-
sit:on, which is power when it hits
certain class of office-holders. They will
fight the treaty ratification bill just as
hard this session as ever, and, it is
feared, will control Simpson and others.
How to overcome the same old enemy
is the question.
1.-The talk to day between Secretary
Noble and Senator Flatt had also some
Thing to do with statehood for certain
territories, Oklshoma included. The
secretary favors statehood for Oklahoma
just as soon as congress can act. He
is heartily in favor of legislation to this
extent, and also favors opening the

THAT FRAUD.

a correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Havana, shows
that there was, in 1892, an increase of
Cuba's imports from the United States
of S9,5S6.S62. He says that the reduc-
tioa of the duty on -four, brought about
through the reciprocity treaty, gave
the American mil!ers complete control
of the Cuban market, the price of -Four
having been reduced 81 and SIS per
barrel in that market in consequence. I"
And while this is true it is also true
that meats, lard and many other classes
of provisions which were formerly
brought from other countries are now
imported from the United States.
and yet the democratic platform
rrocounces reciprocity fraud, and the
people have placed that party in power
that IS pledged to give our markets to
the foreigner instead of making him
ray for them.

products, because ard only because We

STOCK AND FARM.

Lebanon Criterion: L. w. Baker, OF
Stuart, reports that corn in his neigh
bornood is yielding from twenty to
forty-five bushels per. acre, and thinks
the average would be about thirty.
Grainfeld Cap sheaf: The jackrab-
bits are destroying the Catalpa trees on
our timber claim. Those who ale plant
ing trees should be careful to select
varieties that rabbits will not destroy.
We find that the Russian mulberry,
white ash and tho honey locust are the
best varieties.
Stafford Peoples Paper: At the
horse sale Tuesday the stock sold very
low indeed. Colts which will be very
a year old in the spring sold for s7.75
to $40 each. Grown horses sold at
about 500. The horses we're rather
light but fairly we'll bred, and would
make good driving horses.
Buffalo Advocate: It is said that
there is getting to be large number
of cheap plug" horses in this part of
the country, and that the feeding of
them this winter will be quite an item.
There certainly are great many more
horses around here than there is any
need of, and they are too 'pluggy" to
sell on the market.
Cedar Vale Star: G. NJ. Carpenter is
feeding $4,000 bushels of corn to stock
cattle this winter, but is full feeding
none. He has only missed full feeding
one winter in the past twenty-five until
this, but thinks he will never winter feed
another bunch of cattle. He will put
corn into them, though, taking them
through the winter in good shape, and
market from grass in June and July.
There were more feeder buyers at the
Kansas City, Kan, yards than for some
days. The break in the market 0f
25@3O cents per cwt. Friday brought
back number of buyers that were here
the first OF the week and returned hcme
without any cattle. They saved by

TOTAL POLITICAL DEPRAvrTY.

There is much talk about the sensa.
tional trip of German, Carlisle and Brice
to New York. The best authority puts
it down as q rank political fake. It is
known to a certainty that the particular
trio now in New York would do every-
thing in their power to prevent the SEN
ate from being democratic. They are
not in New York for the purpose OF
making the senate democratic, but to
see if anything can be done secretly, &C.
cording to Germans plan of doing bus.

They want the senate to remain repub-
licrn SO they will not be expected to
keep their campaign promises. This
may startle the honest people of tho
country who do not understand the
total depravity of the German school OF
politics.

rrwAs NOT CUFF.
"a Kansas City. Mo-. journal.

From tho Kansas City. Mo-. journal.
It will be the natural tendency oi
those who do not read for themselves to
look upon the result of the late election
as q proof that all the arguments Of
the republicans were pure inventions
for campaign purposes. Especially is
this likely to be the case in regard to
the Mckinley tariff law and its relations
to the American laborer. But little
study of the news columns of the daily
papers, now that the election is over
and all foreign news can be considered
solely on its merits, will show that at
least one important argument used by
the republican press was not only we'll
founded, but that the predictions that
were based upon it are already being
fulfilled.
The voter was told that the policy of
the democratic party, call it free trade
or by any other name, is the policy that
has the full sympathy Of the English
press and public. He was told that the
law which closed the doors of the Eng
lish factories was opening the doors Of
hundreds of factories on our own soil
for the employment of American labor.
Ee was told that laborers employed
on this side the water would consume
American farm products, and that the
building up of competitive industries
would provide against extortionate
prices under the law that provides pre-
lection agar st foreign competition.
The very first dispatches from Lon
don following the announcement there
that the 'tariff for revenue" party had
gotten control of the government, tell
of the joy that prevails among all
classes. The outcome of the election is
the most gladstone news that the cable
has ever given them, In dispatc.s to
the st. Louis Republic, good demo-
cratic authority, it is stated that sin
the great industrial csnters Of popula-
ton throughout the midlands and the
north, in every shipping port, and in
fact, wherever throughout the kingdom
men of affairs gathered together on
Wednesday, this subject drove every
other from their thoughts and talk"
II this means anything, it means
Just what republicans undertook to i'm.
press upon the minds Of the voters. It
means that England rejoices in the sue
cess of Cleveland because it's own in
dustries we've being wiped out by the
policy of the republican party. There
peed be no dispute as to the meaning
OF free trade id this connection. Eng
land knows what free trade is, and it
knows what tariff for revenue means
as we'll. The London Times says the
tariff proposed by the democratic plat
form is what is known in England as
free trade. It is the triumph Of that
painciple that all England is celebrat-
irg. The circumstance is worthy of
mention now simply as proof that the
republican party made a campaign Of
honest arguments.

Supreme Court Decision,

Supreme Court Decision.
Among the decisions handed down BY
the supreme court during the presen,
sitting was the one in the case of j. M
Myers ct al, against Sallie O. Smith, ir
which case the decision was in favor o.
Mrs. Smith. The case involves the title
to over 1900 acres Of land in Wyan.
dotte county that is worth, at very
moderate estimate, fully $4,000. II
| includes the TOWNSHIP of the village oil
Vance, and the farms Of J. N. Myers
prominent citizens there.
The point in the case is the validity
of the will of the late Isaac Johnny
cake, who was chief of the Delaware In
dams until he met tragic death down
in the Nation, about fifteen years ago.
The tract of land was occupied by
him for years and was known as the
Johnnycake homestead. Shortly after
his death paper purporting to be his
last will and testament was produced,
fled in the court and probated. The
will was drawn according to the laws
and customs of the Cherokee nation,
and was probated in Cherokee court
and supposedly in due and legal form.
By the provisions Of the will the entire
estste was left to his sons, being divided
into a number of large farms. The
widow and daughters were left out en-
tirely, and as such an act created much
comment, and after q time, when the
sons hid sold the farms to the present
occupants. and they hsd been improved
and become very valuable, Mrs. Sallie
o. Smith, one Of his daughters, having
become convinced that the will was void,
began ejectment proceedings against
the parties.
It was fought through the lower
court and finally landed in the supreme
court, where it was argued and submit
ted. The court took It under advise
ment and tho decision has long been
delayed. IN order to give ample time for
its consideration.
II was not proven positively that the
paper was the will Of the late Mr..
Johnnyoake, and the further fact was
demonstrated that tho viii was not pro-
bated properly and according to hw. 80
that tie carrying out Of its PuEportsd
provisions was without the warrant OF
law and consequently illegal.

GROVER SIGNED 1T.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The "15, 900 survivors of tho Mexican
war, with 1000 widows" who are on
the pension list, fill an evening contem-
porary with surprise because ''the
United States never had much over half
of $4,000 men actually engaged in the
war with Mexico" Quite true, but
Grover Cleveland signed pension bill
giving a service pension to everyone
who had enlisted for the Mexican war
and been a short time on the rolls,
whether he ever went to the front or
not. And, it will be generally remem-
bered that the Mexican war pensioners
referred to were, almost all Of. them,
confederate soldiers later on.

number of English as we'll as continental
investors who are interested in various

been considered identified in an especial
degree with the interests of the south;
while the converse has held good with
regard to the republicans. The shifting
of political power which has just taken

REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION,
From the Eeloit Gazette.

From the Eeloit Gazette.
As proof of the wonderful extrava.
canoe and corruption OF the republican
party, the alliance journals should lay
before their readers the fact that the
Kansas state board of charities, during
the two years ending July 1, 1892, re-
turned to the state treasury So, 933. Sc
of the amount appropriated to run the
several state charitable institutions
during that time. The largest surplus
was from the fund for the Topeka in
sane asylum,-$1s,265.74. OF the In
dustrial school appropriation, 1902. 10
was not used. Such facts as these give
the lie to nine-tenths of the idiotic
howls made during the recent state
campaign.
