bushels; of oats 43, 722, 4S4 bushels; of
rye 4,042, ,61S bushels; Of barley 3,s42. .954

The only reasonable explanation that
can be given for the extraordinary
action of the ''colored reformers" in
their Indianapolis meeting, Tuesday, is
that the colored voters of large section
of the country are tired beyond en-
durance at their long continued political
enslavement and have fallen upon that
plan to gain the free exercise of the elec-
tive franchise, with the hope that once
peaceably possessed of that high prerog-
ative they will be in position to more
effectually defend themselves by the
ballot than they have been hitherto. In
this view of the case it were hard to
visit severe censure upon them; but it is
forlorn hope. Their votes have been
counted, in the south, for the Demo-
cratic party, and will continue to be
whether so cast or not, so long as that
party remains in control down there.

off, tax on land values can be assessed
wiki more certainty and can be collected
with greater ease and less expense than
any other tax, while it does not in the
slightest degree check production or
lessen its incentive"
''To abolich private property in land is
an undertaking so great that it may at
first seem impracticable. But this SEEM
ing impractibiiity consists merely in the
fact that the public is not yet sufficiently
awakened to the justice and necessity Of
this great change"
With these things staring the
people of Kansas in the face
the defeat of that party's candl-
dates for the legislature throughout
the state is of no less Importance than
the defeat of its candidates for congress,

Here is neat sizing-up of the misfit
congressman from the Seventh Kansas
district which We find in the Atchinson
Globe, paper with very strong Peoples
party leanings:
Jerry Simpson is NOT farmer, and he is
not interested in reforms. He is not a re-
preventative OF the respectable opposition
in Kansas. and should be gotten rid OF.
He makes his supporters ridiculous every
time he opens his month: he is fool who
believes that anarchy snd idiocy mean re-
form. In order to succeed, and accomplish
the best results, the opposition should be
well ofiicered. Every silly thing said by
representatives of the Peoples party hurts
the cause. Only sensible and fair things
have good effect among the people
The Wichita daily eagle., 1892-10-20

The Kansas City Gazette observes that
there is a great deal of material ruin
scattered about Kansas. DR.. A. Randle,
who has been off a month through
Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, says a
farmer at Scott City told him that he
raised enough wheat off one quarter
section to buy two quarters adjoining.
Think of that! One wheat crop from
16O acres buys $40 acres more.

The Kansas City Times says that Jerry
Simpson is working TO succeed Senator
Perkins in the senate, and that his defeat
for congressman in the Seventh district
is likely. There is nothing new in either
announcement, but it is something of a
surprise to find the last statement in the
Times

Mrs. Lease says that the election of

In his uphill race for congressman
He's sure of Long defeat.

He's played role of "Scckless Statesman -

To them he is the Slip'ry simpson

Jerry Simpson says: "This campaign
is wearing on a fellow. I'm getting
thinner every day." The only point of
doubt in the statement is in the possibil-
ity of the latter part of it. He has been
so thin from the start that there was
nothing in him or of him. To be less
than nothing is physical impossibility.

jerry Simpsons campaigning in

Jerry Simpsons campaigning in other
portions of the state is an open announce
ment of his candidacy for the United
States senate. 1t is a dernier resort. He
realizes that he is beaten in this district
and is striving desperately to hedge on
the senate. But it's no use. When he
is defeated in his district his grip will be
gone and he be sent to keep company
with Clover and Otis and Elder and
Willis, ct al.

Jerry Simpson is stating IN his speech
es that the Republican party formerly
stood for tariff for revenue only. Will
the sockless statesman kindly inform US
when that was? The Republican party
has always been the party Of protection;
not only for the protection of home labor
and home markets, but protection of
American freedom and American ma
tionality, against foes at home and
abroad.
