Cheap Lands.


What makes lands so cheap in
Kansas and Nebraska, is a question
very often asked and wondered at by
the tourist, They cannot understand
why lands in Kansas and Nebraska
that are so productive, that raise such
immense crops of corn, wheat, and
all the products known to a temper
ate latitute should be so low in price.
In the first place there has been a
vast territory of farm lands in the
west to settle up. immigration has
been pouring into this vast territory
since 1852, and as long as there has
been lands for sale at the government
price of $4,000 per quarter section,
immigration would seek those lands.
up to the last five years. since which
time lands have gradually been ado
vancing in value, and will continue
to do SO every year. The above is a
very reasonable conclusion, and one
in which all will agree; therefore oil
who want cheap land, or who expect
to buy home in the near future can
do no better with small amount of
capital than to come to Kansas, and
after making selection of one of the
many productive farms, settle down
and make a cozy home. No other
state offers greater advantages, and
no county larger returns for the capi-
tai invested than Phillips county.

The national convention of the re.
publican party re-nominatcd grand
i'a's hat for the presidency, refusing
to recognize the wishes OF
the great west in its demand for free
coinage Of silver. This action will
certainly defeat that party in all the
silver states and unless the Democratic
convention gives the silver advocates
iron clad promises TO that effect, all
these states, with the ones adjoining
at the east, and the majority Of the
southern states, will cast theiI
electoral vote for the Peoples party
candidate. The voters will not be put
off with the promise Of humbue

nothing good will come OF that. Thu

1t looks now that the Republican
campaign was being managed in the
interest of the Democratic party.
The force bill plank in the Republican
platform was undoubtedly put there
for the purpose of trying to sol'dify
the south, which would have the
effect of driving voters in the west
back to the Republican party. The
scheme means that the rank and file
Of the Republican party is to he be-

What Does Il Mean.

Mr.. EDIToR:-After reading your
account Of the meeting at the court
house on Saturday, June 4th, inst
l could but ask myself the question
What does this mean?" Does it
mean that the people Of the county
are losing, or have lost, confidence IN
the leaders of the great Democratic
and Republican parties, and that our
people are not pleased with the adj
ministration of local affairs? Docs
it signify that the masses Of our
people ere just now preparing to make
an effort to free themselves from
bondage? Why not delay little
longer until the chains Of slavery are
riveted upon them? The above meet.
ing, it seems, was not under the con.
troll of Office seeking men, hut from
the best information at hand, this
seems to he q movement favored by
the better element of both the old
parties. In saying this l do not wish
you to cOnstrue my words to make
me say that all the better element
will forsake the old parties and en-
courage the new movement. There
are good men in both barties who can
not overcome their partizan prejudice
Mt this time, but may in the no.
distant future. But do the mer
know the magnitude of their under
taking? Do they know what the,
have to contend with? Suppose thu
party in the minority should decline
to place a ticket before the people
but should rally to the support o
the dominant party do you not know
that in that event the new move
ment would amount to little or moth
ing? Suppose there are three t,cket
in the field and the distinguished
leaders of the Democratic and Re
publican parties of the county shoult
make a through canvase Of the count,
what would bc the result? I cal
imagine even now that l hear TIN
crack of the party lash; the demo
cratic orator saying to the faithful
''stick to your ticket; if you are
democrat he democrat. Do not g
of with the mugwumps. The indie
pendent move is only scheme o.
the part of the Republicans to dow
the great Democratic party in tn

Why not let the people Of the count

The main purpose Of organized
labor is 10 elevate the condition of
the laboring men, and dignity labor.
Whitlaw Reid has been an inveterate
opponent of organized labor ever
since he became newspaper proprle-
tor. While his sentiments upon the
subject have not changed particle,
in view Of his possible nomination for
vise-president, he consented to make
the union Office of the Tribune. He
says it is NEARLY coincidence that
this is done just on the eve of the
national convention. That may be pos

the face of the returns. The record
