Som Of the stand.up crowd ex-
isted before the war. They stood up
for the United States and declared
that slavery was a divine institution
and he who denounced il was a traitor
and calamity howler. They finally
learned better, but they are still q few
years behind the times. It was then
that the Shylocks, who were also
stsnd-up patriots, threatened to with
draw their money from circulation If
the people did not cease their sgita-
ton Of the perplexing questions then
before them. And the people said:
"Withdraw and be damned. We will
fight it out if we never see q cent"
And they did.

THE Capital and the other journal
istiC representatives Of the "stand up"
crowd are making howl because the
business house in which Mr.. Level
ling is interested at Wichita was not
decorated during the recent reunion
in that city. The facts in regard to
this matter are these: Mr.. Lewelling
was absent from the city during the
reunion, and his partner in business,
who is a rampant republican, failed
to decorate. All the glory and the
political capital there is in this cir
Cumstance for the republican party,

tions Of the ADVOCATE. Come again.

"SOMB CALAMITY MISTAKES"

Under the above title Mr.. w. E.
Kesrns, in a communication to the
Capital, calls in question the truth
of the claim that tenant farmers are
on the increase in Kansas in conse-
quence of mortgage foreclosures. In
his communication he says:
am not converSant with all the figures per-
tanning to the matter.
He might have omitted this state
ment. Any one who is conversant
with the figures would have dis
covered hls ignorance Of the entire
subject upon which he presumes to
write for the information Of others.
Listen to the method by which he
says these calamity mistakes" are
made:
The farm population Of the state Is estimated
at about 100000 persons. On the basis Of Eve
TO each family they estimate that there are about
100000 families or heads Of families. From this
number they subtract the number Of farms
known to be cultivated by the owners, assuming
the remainder to show the number OF tenant
farmers.
Now if Mr.. Kearns had possessed
the slightest knowledge upon this
subject he would have known that the
calamity howler" did not arrive at
his conclusions by any such method
as that above indicated. In publish
ing the increase of tenant farmers the
calamity papers" have simply pub
lished the fact as given in Mr.. Porter's
Census Bulletin No. Is, and they
were not under the necessity of max
ing any mathematical calculations
whatever in order to arrive at the con-
clusion. Mr.. Porter himself has made
the entire calculation, put down all
the figures in cold type, and all We
calamity howlers" have done is to
reproduce them. Mr.. Kearns' COM
munication Is fair sample Of the re-
publican literature of the present
time. The writers are usually in utter
ignorance Of the subjects upon which
they assume to write.

A FEW more tramps will walk out

sale dealers and the retailers Of the
entire state, has this characteristic
comment:
From the above extract It can be readily seer
that consistency and honesty is not one Of the
component parts Of the representatives Of the
so-called "People'S party" II the editor Of the
ADVOCATE can be termed as such. In one issue
Of his valuable (2) organ, he asSalls the trans
pOrtati0n companies for their excessive rates. In
the most irrational manner, and then as seen by
the above, when an effort Is made 70 render re-
lief by an equalization Of rates, dishonest and
senseless howl is raised by this champion Of
''the people,"
If this "freak" voices the sentiment Of the
peoples party, &c would behard to tell just what
they do want, when in one Issue he h0wls about
excessive rates and capitalization, with all the
assurance OF one who knows what he Is talking
about, and In the next condemns our railway
commission for rendering relief for the same
and pours out the Vials Of wrath and Vltupera
tion on them for complying with the demands Of
justice. Right here It would be well to request
this ADVOCATE to rise aud state juse the
exact amount paid by the 'plutOCratic" whole
sale grOcerS on the Missouri river for the above
intelligent deductions on the freight rate
problem. AN INTERESTED CITIZEN.

in sssailing transportation companies
for excessive rates, and bowling when
"an effort is made to render relief by
an equalization Of rates."
We deny that any effort has beer
made to equslize rates. As we have
shown Beyond cavil the action of the
board in question was the most out
rsgeous discrimination ever at
tempted to be imposed upon any
people, and every rational man knows
it. The courts have 80 declded, and
"Interested Citizen'mskes no attempt
to dispute the proposition. The most
interested citizens in the city of To

ers Of the city. Suppose the Capital
should consult them and publish their
opinions upon this subject.
The ADVOCATE is requested "to rise

WEATHER SIGNS.


The Proposition for an Observatory in
Golden Gate Park.
Robert i. Kerkam, Chief of the Weather
Bureau of the Pacific Coast, has been in
structed by the Government at Washington
to report upon the feasibility of establish
ing an observation station for meteorologi-
cal work in this city.
Mr.. Kerkam is making arrangements to
comply with his instructions. and will soon
visit the park in company with the Com
missioners to select a site for the proposed
observatory. The cost OF the building will
be about $1,000, which the city will be ex-
pected to BEAR as in New York, ST. Louis
and other Eas tern cities. The equipment
would. OF course, come from the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington.
Mr.. keTkam is not particular concerning
the site, bat thinks that the park would be
the most suitable location. Concerning the
matter he said yesterday:
at is desired 10 have the building used
permanently for station of observation.
An observer would be constantly in the
park. II the Park Commissioners wished
to occupy space in the building not required
for the observations and instruments. of
course they would do so. We need q bat
tery-rOem, observatory and roof for the in.
stTuments only. The Weather Bureau has is
sued a circular letter to all concerned SINH
lar to the one received by me in reference
to park and suburban stations of Observa-
ton. Snch locations give greater accuracy
in observations made for the benefit of agri-
culture than location on house top in the
center Of a city. There are no obstacles to
accurately recording wind velocties at the
park that could not be surmounted by the
use Of telescope rods rising above the tree
