AN HAY PARTY.-The Hay Party
given by Charlie Lewis on last Fri
day evening was a great hit. About
fourteen couples participated in the
fun, and in their ecstacy yelled
themselves hoarse They met at
the residence of Hon. J. S. Spencer,
on East Main street, and were
chaperoncd by Mrs. Spencer. The
party left town about 8 o'clock and
after driving about twenty miles in
the country, returned to Mr.. Potter
S. Lewis, where they were welcom-
ed in to refreshments and enter
tanned in elegant style. Dancing
was then inaugurated and contin-
ued until l o'clock when the merry
hay party, again took their seats
in the "new mown hay" behind
four fiery steeds, and were driven
h, me. 1t was easy to tell the next
day who took part in the pleasure,
for the boys voices sounded like
the filing of saw. Hay rides are
very fashionable now, aud this was
one of marked success.

The latest development at Homestead
Is the arrest on warrants for high treason
against the state Of Pennsylvania, of the
members Of the advisory committee of
the locked.O out men. Instead of warrants
Of arrest, gold medals ought to be
awarded them; for had 1t not been for
their influence the Carnegie works would
have been In ashes three months ago.
The persecution Of these men is a con-
fesslon Of spite and weakness on the part
of the Carnegie people which not even
the stsunchest monopollst organs care to
defend. Legally there is not a leg for
these actions to stand on, and while the
accused men may be subjected to incon-

Peoples Party Rally at Mcpherson.

The Peoples party rally at this place
was q grand success. The procession
surpassed all expectations. Twenty.slx
loads OF wheat were In line as a donation
10 the cause Of reform.
Republicans are working Ike beavers,
but the tide is against them. The grand
army had fine reunion, many Peoples
party soldiers participating. The "stand

with the regular yellow badge. Taking

was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Last, but not least, came Hon. John Mar

great necessity for the common people to

man in the state. Eleven Thousand six

yet he wants to sell more. Mr.. Brady and

AMERICAN LAND AND IMMIGRA
TION COMPANY.
Lands for Actual Tillers.

This title Is the name of company lately
incorporated under the laws of the state,
with headquarters in Topeka, and under the
management Of J. H. Brady, real estate
man of sixteen years experience.
The stockholders and officers of the organ
ization comprise representatives of almost
every reliable land and loan company doing
business in Kansas. The object and pur-
poses, as set forth in their charter, are "to
sell lands, raw and improved, to invite i'm
migration, to grow cersls, etc.
The company owns choice land in every
county of the state, and has for sale more
than 1000 farms. Three million dollars are
invested in farms and city property in every
part of the state, and many improved
farms are offered at nearly the cost of the
improvement alone. There are hundreds Of
opportunities for those who wish to till the
fertile soil Of the best state in the union to
secure farm for almost nothing, for it will
pay for itself in half the time offered. The
wonderful advantages Of Kansas; its Italian
climate; it's altitude, just high enough for
healthfulness; its schools, the equal Of any
in the union; its fertile soil, and its moral
and intelligent people make an investment
in land here more sure of rich returns than
in any other section of the country. The
ents on the sterile farms of the east can,
by pluck and energy, here own farm clear
and free in short time.
Mr.. Brady will take pleasure in showing
how easily it can be done. His agents are
everywhere. There is one in each of the
100 counties of Kansas, and $50 are dis
tributed through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa, ready to serve the visitor to Kansas or
the purchaser of home in the heart of the
continent. A postal to Mr.. j. H. Brady,
asking for his "Course of Study for Home
seekers and Investors" will we'll repay the
interested.
A word, in justice, must be said Of Mr..
Brady. His selection to manage the intri-
cate and responsible affairs of this company
was wise and judicious. His general bust
ness qualifications, his universal acQuaint-
ance throughout the west, his knowledge Of
values, his experience as a seller Of land, his
reputation as a king of rustlers, his genial
disposition and his strict prObity, Ht him
above all men in the state TO be placed at
the head Of such vast institution. He has

states that the government should Issue
all the money directly to the people with.
out the intervention OF banking corpora
tlons; also that the volume of money
should be increased to $50 per capita
These demands are defnIte and specific.
In regard to the methods and details Of
issuing this money the demands are not
80 definite and specific, but recommends
the sub. treasury CT some better system,
clearly indicating that we are willing to
consider various msthodS aud take the
best.
Republican orators are shouting them
selves hoarse about the impracticibility
and unconstltutlonsllty of our demands
in regard to che finance reform. Repub-
llcan editors write long editorials to
prove the Sbsurdity and the visionary
character Of our demands. Some Of
them seem to be completely horror
stricken with the thought that farmers
and other common folks should have the
lmpudenCe to ask the government to loan
them money on the same terms ss ma
tional bankers obtain. Yet, opposed as
they are to our finance reform, they seem
to be able to point out the better system
to put more money In circulation. Sena-
tor Sherman has introduced bill for the
government to guarantee $lOO,OO0,00O Of
bonds running 100 years to build the Mic
aragua canal. President Harrison, in his
late letter Of acceptance, calls attention
and recommends government aid to the
project Ny good republican friend, you
do not realize what that means. IL means
nothing less than the bonding Of your
self, your children, and children's child
rem to the amount Of $l00,O00OO0; or
more, to transfer this enormous amount
to the pockets Of a few millionRIres. This
party of plutocrats who has not, and will
not do anything in the interest Of the
common people Is ever ready to assist
those who are already rich. A republl-
can victory this fall means the carrying
out Of this colossal swindle. Remember
this is the same party which gave to the
Pacific roads $64,OO00O0, has been so
kind and psternSl as to not collect the
interest, has kindly exchanged q first
mortgage for a second mortgage, and
could not think Of foreclosing, because
It would be 80 cruel and heartless.
Do you not see that when milllonalres
can get millions or hundreds of millions
from the people through legislation, that
Is all right and perfectly proper; but to
help farmer to save his home from the
grasp of ShylOck by loan, oh, that
would never do!
Government bonds bearing 80 per
cent. can be sold at par, that would only
be 100000 of interest annually, and
only SS0O,0O0OOO interest In q hundred
years, and the bonds could be used as q
banking basis, and the danger that the
national banking system would have to
bs abandoned on account Of not having
any more bonds for q basis would at
least be delayed. Why, the same gentle
men beggsrs who would pocket the $780,
100000 could, under the national bank
law, get $9O,OOO,OOO more to help them

The splendid. popnlar ovation which
is being rendered to ex-Chancellor Bis
marck Is a greater tribute than
the most brilliant reception of roy
atty could have been. Nothing in
the Princes career should give him SO
much satisfaction. He is dearly beloved
by his own nation. OF that he has had
ample evidence. But his worship of his
own country has been such as to lead him
at times to be not over scrupulous of
other nations. His policy of exalting
Prussia and the German Empire has
not always been compatible with the
apparent interests of neighboring ma
tions. Austria has especial cause to re-
member him. 1t was he who with
William I. united Germany into sim
gle state under the leadership of Prussia.
II was he who to accomplish this result
compelled the abdication of Austria's
supremacy in the confederacy. 1t was
he who thus made Germany one of the
four leading States of Europe and
lowered Austria into the second class.
One generation ago Bismarck was the
best hated man in Austria. To-day he
is received with open arms. Whether
this feeling arises from sympathy for
his loss Of power or from his well-known
opposition 10 the Kaiser's foreign policy
and consequent desire of the Austrian
people thus to insult William III. are
questions = little moment. The fact
remains that his deeds for his father
land and his opposition TO Austrian
power are apparently forgotten.

blotted out, and Bismarck, the private
citizen, is receiving attention that would

WILL ALASKA ELECT HIM.

The New York World denies that the
Territories nominated Cleveland, but
how can it get around the figures?
Without the 10 votes they furnished
him his nomination, under the two
thirds rule, would not have been possible
on the first ballot. Without the Terri
tories he had but 597 votes. Alaska and
Oklahoma gave him the victory in con-
vention, but what can they do for hiin
at the polls?
The Democratic press Is sore over the
published demonstrations of Clevelands
strength in safely Republican States and
his weakness in doubtful and D,mo-
cratic sections; but the figures warrant
even more emphatic statements than
have been made. From reliable Repub-
lican States Mr.. Cleveland had
36S delegates; from reliable Demo
cratic States he had but 229. The West,
which will not be with him in No
vember, gave him 2Sl votes; the solid
South gave him only 1853 1-3, the East
nearly equaling that with her 153.
Missouri gave Cleveland her electoral
vote four years ago, but not one other
of those Western States which at Chicago
furnished that sections chief contin-
gent of enthusiasm for him. Con-
necticut voted for him in 1888, but
she was alone in the Eastern group. The
Democrats who are in the minority at
home have forced Cleveland on the
Democrats who must furnish the ma
jorities and the electoral votes in No
vember. This fact may or may not be
Of large Importance, but it is fact cer-
tainly.
