STARVATION IN TEXAS.

GAA10 AAAON AN AEAA0s
A petition signed by thirty-three
citizens of Bexer. county, Tex, has
been presented to the county COM
missionerp, IN which they certify
under oath that they are without
grain or meal or work, and ask for
work on public roads to earn food.
Judge McAllister Certifies that he
knows the men and knows them to be
good citizens. Others testify to the
same fact. Here seems to be good
opportunity for those who have been
looking through long range telescopes
for starvation in the czsr's dominions
to lower their instruments and take q
view Of the situation nearer home.
These starving Texans have simply
become desperate, and made known
to the authorities their condition
rather than resort to unlawful means
to obtain food. Thousands of people
all over this country are driven to the
other course by the same condition.
Other thousands are eking out q mis-
erable existence upon the sCsntiest
fare that will serve to keep soul and
body together. Every city in the
laud is full of such miserable beings.
If they have work at all il is at q
price absolutely inadequate to provide
necessary food. The thousands who
are unable to find work at all are
compelled to resort to unlawful meas
ures to secure the means to perpet-
uate a miserable existence. Our
civilization has no place for them
until they have committed an offense
against the majesty Of the law. Then
they are spprehended and fed and
punished.
In the face of all this misery aud
want we hear the cry of overproduc-
tion as a cause of low prices of food
products, and the farmers and labor
ing men of this great country are ex-
pected to be silenced by this hypo-
critical cant and keep out of politics.

DEMO.REPUBLICAN FUSION IN 1892.

DEMO-REPUBLICAN FUSION IN 1892.
From the WyandOtte Herald, Dem.) Mays.
There Is and has been vast amount
of talk about the Democrats and ALI
ance men fuslng In this district for the
purpose Of defeating Congressman Fun
ston. II Is admitted that IL the opposi
tlon to Mr.. Funston could be united his
defeat would be inevitable. The trouble
is to agree upon the man. The Demo
Gratis will never agree to support an ALI
ance man, and there are so many candi-
dates for the place in the Alliance party
that they are not likely to agree upon
any Democrat for the place, There is
so much opposition to Mr.. Funston In
his own party that il looks to US as II the
only way to defeat him is for the Demo
Gratis to nominate some man that viii be
acceptable to the Republicans who are
opposed to Mr.. Funston. Indeed we be-
lievs that with the right kind of man the
Democratic candidate would draw more
votes from the Republicans than they
would get from fusion with the Alli-'
snce party.

INCONSISTENCIES.

The Capital challenges DR.. McLal-
lin "in order to prove to his readers
that there is no inconsistency to pub
lish the two letters that of Presi-
dent Polk, and his own-"in parallel
columns"
This IS not at all necessary. The
readers of THE ADVOCATE understand
the matter now. They read the pro-
ceedings of the st. Louis conference,
and they have seen the platform of
that conference, together with the
additional resolutions" in all the re-
form papers of the country ever since
the adjournment of the conference,
just precisely as they were adopted.
The readers of the Capital would
understand it also if the Capital
would tell the truth about it.
Now permit us to make sugges-
tion which may save the Capital and
others of it's ilk large waste Of wind
if they will "catch on" to its import.
The campaign this year will be
fought on three distinct issues ma
tionally; and on such state issues as
shall be mapped out by the Wichita
convention. The three national issues
relate to reform in our financial, land
and transportation systems. These
issues the Republican party will have
to meet fairly and unequivocally, and
they cannot be evaded or their i'm
portsnce obscured by any kind OF
subterfuge whatever. Prejudice will
play no part in this campaign. The
people are outgroWing that very rap
idly, and all attempts to blind them
to the real questions at issue by sp-
peals to prejudice will fail. We are
willing that the Republican party
shall define its own position, and we
will accept it as the party defines it.
We shall make no attempt to deceive
the people as to what that position is,
but we shall show them that the posi-
ton is wrong. If Republican jour
nalists will attempt to do tho same
thing with us as honestly as we shall
do with them, they will find they
have plenty to do, and they will be
entitled to far more respect than if
they pursue the policy of deception
they have pursued hitherto since this
Peoples movement confronted them.
The issues are clearly defined,
and they are at liberty to pitch into
them and show the people just where
in they are wrong in principle, or
would be injurious in practice.
And now, finally, in order to show
that there is no inconsistency in the
Republican party and in the Capital
Office especially, we challenge the
Capital to publish in parallel COL
umns the silver plank in it's national
platform of 1888, in the state platform
of 1890, and the Republican senate
resolutions of 1891; and in the oppo-
site column, a statement of the pres.
ent policy of the party on that ques-

MORTGAGES OF CHEROKEE COUNTY.

MORTGAGES OF CHEROKEE COUNTY.
From Modern Light, Columbus, Kansas.
The number OF real estate mortgages
fed during April was 81. The number
released during April, "a. The amountof
real estate mortgages fled during April
was $4085669. The amount of real estate
mortgages released during the same
month as nearly as can be shown by the
records Of the county, as some OF the re-
leases were only partial releases and they
only described the property released
without stating the amount paid and we
estimated that the amount paid on these
partial releases was as much as the aver
age Of the mortgages released, (prObRbly
the record kept by the Advocate Of
this city, tells the exact amount paid on
these mortgages, il the county records do
not), was $26G94 60. Excess Of real estate
mortgages filed during April, $l4, ,16496.
Number OF chattel mortgages recorded
during April, 1902 Number released, 18.
Amount OF chsttel mortgages filed, Sill
O2310 Amount released, $3,2595G.
Increase Of chattel mortgage indebted
ness for April, s7,7G354 Total increase
Of mortgage indebtedness 10 this county
for April was S9l, l,92S50. The average
amount OF the real estate mortgages filed
during the month was s669s3. Average
amount OF the mortgages released was
S49435.
Does It look like our people were re-
1ucing their mortgages very rspidlys
The Advocate, Of this city, In Its issue
Of April %, attempts to "explain" away
the real estate mortgages to the amount
Of e43, 1916 05, that were filed during March
and succeeds Ia relieving the mortgagors
Of all this debt, but lone new farm mort
gage for 5000 that was not for purchase
and two mortgages that were In
creased, one by $50 and one by 800,
which increase was not In payment for
commission" Now as the Advocate
was so successful by It's explanations in
relieving our people Of the necessity of
ever paying the $43, ,27665 OF mortgsgelu
as filed against the real estate
Of the county during March, probably
they can also "explaln" away all of the
mortgages filed against our people
during April and relieve them of the me-
cessity Of paying them. II they can 1t

EDITOR GLOBE I'm the case of Nettie
Robinson's arrest for the alleged distur-
bance of a religious meeting at this place,
which your millions of readers have al
ready had history of from Cowboys"
pen, desire to call attention TO several
expressions in his articles, which were
an injustice to the young lady.
| attended the trial, and in the judg-
ment of those not interested in the pros
ecution, it seems to have been, in Miss
Robinson's case, one mainly brought
about by personal spite and malice, and
all it lacked of being worthy of the 18th
century was the power.
"Cowboy" said the girl "got out of the
scrape somehow" There was no some
how" about it. She had her examina-
ton before fair and impartial jnry, and
was found mot guilty." The complaint
was so worded that if it failed to prove
one thing, it would try another. An at
tempt was made to show that she placed
pepper on the stove, and she was proven
innocent beyond doubt. The prosecu-
ton then, like drowning man catching
at a straw, tried to make out that she
disturbed the meeting by smiling. Bah !!
She was also justly proven not guilty on
this charge. The whole concern was a
miserable farce, and the prosecution GER
tainly ought to feel ashamed of it.
fCowboy" tells us also that the costs
were assessed to Coleman, which is
mistake. The Justice fined him $40
and hall the costs to the time of plead
ing guilty. As to the way the rest of the
costs were settled, | have not learned;
but if the Justice has as good sense as |
think he has, he assessed them to the
prosecuting witness. Yours for the
truth. L. S. O.

over all and a plurality over Harrison OF

and will appear in correct form next is

1892, it will be seen that all the doubt
ful states in the Union went democratic
at this election, including New York, Ill
inois, Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Wisconsin and California. Delaware
is the only state that went demo-
cratic in 1888 that gave Harrison plu-
rality at this election. This sweeping
victory for the democrats is tabulated as
