Two Hearts that Beat as One.

Mother Lease is quoted as saying:
She wants the democratic party con-
Quered and from this time forth she
has pledged herself to devote her time
and energies to accomplish that end.
1.-The democrat party is not party
at all, said she. lit is protest-a pro-
test against women, a protest against
temperance, a protest against truth,
and in fact protest against everything
that is true and good"
Granny Townsley, in the Tribune of
last week says:
1.-The fact is, the people will discover
very little difference between Cleve-
land now and Cleveland before. 1t is
simply putting the rascals out" and a
new set of rascals in. The democratic
party has no policy, no principles. 1t
stands for nothing but for office. 1t
will in course of time steal the govern
ment poor just as it has done, and its
defaulters will be punished by being
requested to resign and banished to a
foreign consulate, as in the past"
That accounts in a measure for the
old Judges anxiety TO have the Wichi,
ia woman sent to the U. S. senate
Anything and everything that the
Tribune has championed for the last
Is years has failed. and there is no,
much chance for that paper to be sir
Ito in the coming senatorial battle
Townsley knows that if the element in
the peoples party represented by Mrs
Lease should come out on top in the
coming session of the state Legislature
it would be good bye to the peoples
tpa1ty in Kansas hence his advocacy
of Mrs. Lease, and his endorsement OF
her sentiments concerning the demo
Gratis of Kansas who made it possible
for her party to win the state in 1892.
When both the Tribune editor ani
Mrs. Lease learn that vile names ano
abuse never makes friends to any cause
they may possibly be an aid instead O
a drawback to their parties-but no
until then.

the wheat and cotton actually sold, but
nearly 400 times as much wind cotton.
and as much more as the market
wreckeIs had the nerve to offer. And
putting actual products in this stu
alton they call helping to sell it!" 1t
is not, it is helping to give it away,
when they don't own a bushel or a
bale of it.
Instead of this gambling system be-
ing necessary to the sale of products, it
is iact that not only by far the lar
ger portion in quantity and value of
the products of this country are sold
without it, but that even OF those sub
ject to this system of wrecking, only a
small percentage is handled by the
gambling boards.
1t is a misfortune in this country
that product can be graded in order
that men may gamble on it. The
gamblers handle one fourth Of the
wheat crop and about one sixteenth of
the corn, and by knocking down the
price on this small per cent are able to
bleed the farmers on the entire graded
product.
All the arguments against the pro-
hibition of grain and produce gambling
which, if true, would possess any val
idity, derive whatever plausibility they
may have from this pretense of neces-
sity. They all hinge upon it and have
no weight without it; but the pretense
being false, as is proved by the fact
that other equally as large lines Of
products find market without it, that
formerly those products now made the
subject of the most desperate gamb-
the gamblers aic, and that even now
the markets where the system prevails
dispose of but small part of the pro-
ducts which they gamble in, all these
facts proving, we say, that the pre-
tense is false, it follows that any argu-
ments predicted upon it are fallacious
and sophistical, however ingeniously
they may be constructed.
On the other hand, good morals re-
qulre the abolition of system which
demoralizes all who may come in con-
tact with 1t; common honesty and
justice to the producers require that
the law shall be SO framed as not to
permit the systematic Interference
with his undoubted right to have his
prices fixed by the law of supply and
demand, and the point has been reached
when gambling must go OF production
must be permanently crippled by being
made wholly unremunerative. This
being so, no citizen can hesitate in his
duty. Honest toll has rights and real
values and is entitled to the protection
of the law or government utterly fails
of the purpose for which it was estab-
lished; gambling has no rights, and the
market wreckers' fat creations are ent-
tiled to no protection and no tolerance
Choose ye!

We are not an alarmist, and try to
look at questions and men with an un-
preiudiced eye. The Blade reitterates
it's former statement concerning the
tariff, and in the face Of the returns
we cannot see how democratic preSi-
dent and democratic house and SEN
ate can do otherwise than give the
country an equivalent to free trade.
Coming home to our own state, we are
agreeably surprised to find in Lewell-
ing. our gOvernOr-elect, man OF broad
ideas, and we do not hesitate to say
that we believe he will fill the office
with dignity and with honor to the
state. The peoples party buiided bet

JUST keep your eyes open, Col. Bord-
ers, and you will still be more "agreea-
bly, surprised" at the position of not
only the peoples party in Kansas, but
the democratic party in the nation.
You may be conscientious in your be-
lief that the democratic party is pledg-
ed to ''free trade" and you doubtless
believe that the party desires to attain
to that position. But you will fnd
that the democratic party Will do moth
ing hastily because of its mlsconcep-
tion by few republicans. Had your
administration, which by the grace of
the intelligent voters is SO soon to step
down and out, left a surplus in the
treasury instead of a deficit; had it
not run the country SO deeply into debt
during the last four years. the incom-
ing democratic administration could
proceed at once TO a wholesale reduc.

as it is, our Judgment is that the demo.

alarming deficit by cutting eff all in

the pruning act, and some of the most
glaring and outrageous tariff robberies
will stop as quick as congress can act

possible for that party to win. KNEW
well enough what they were building,

wagon at the proper time.

The number OF land buyers from
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Dakota and
Nebraska seeking and purchasing lands
in Kansas within the past fonr months
is evidence conclusive that the peoples

lican party means increased prosperity

THERE were less than 1000 demo-
Gratis who voted the republican ticket
in Kansas this year, and probably
1000 who did not vote at all. The
balance Of the democrats voted to re-
deem the state from republican rule,
and it is done.

You fellows who are raising such a
cry about the democrats being no bet
ter than the republicans to keep their
promises, just keep your clothes on
little while and give the democrats an
opportunity to show whether or not We
will redeem our pledges. We have the
president and both branches of eon-s
gress, and if. as you say, the democrats
will ''do nothing" then here is one
democrat who is willing to join with
the people in 1895 and turn the ''do
nothings" down, as they were turned
down 1892 Will you be as fair and
pledge yourselves to endorse the demo-
cratic party if it DOES do what it has
promised?

CONGRESS meets on December 6th.
The two houses are antagonistic, and
doubtless little will be done excepting
the making of appropriations TO pay the
extravigant obligations incurred by the
republicans. If the senate was COM
posed of men who desired the welfare

complisbed even il the short session:

A IEMOURAT1o THANKSGIVING.

Make me turky sandwich,
Garnished with wolf and deer,
It's the first Thanksgiving pleasure
I've had for many year.
Fry me dozen oysters,
And give me clam juice, too,
Let me eat till my mouth runs over
Giving thanks for '92.
Fetch me bear and bison,
From their Rocky Mountain run.
Bring me buffalo bleeding
From the wallup of Harrison,
Throw me an ace of iapjacks,
Soaked in wild goats cream;
Hold me minute, waiter
Till shrek an old-time scream.
Give me a Jefferson doughnut,
Smothered With jackson juice;
, Knock in the head of a barrel,
Give me . chance to get loose.
o, for bite of pumpkin
As big as a mountain top;
o, for forty horse biscuit
Dipped in some elephant sop.
Strangle me an alligator,
Bring NE terrapin live,
Turn me loose in the honey
And let me route out the hive.
For I've been waiting, yes waiting,
For four years on fast:
But now we've got 'em, yes, got 'em;
The democrats are there at last.
Rub me down with a coon skin.
Shove me in tigers lair;
Pm goat, I'm an old hyena,
I'm wolf, I'm grizzly bear.
Let me give thanks for million!
Let me dance, and yell and sing;
Let me raise up an old Ebenezer,
Let me ride on an angels wing.
Cleveland and Stevenson got there,
For four years we were out
Give me derrick for litter,
And let me raise up a shout.

Kansas has raised large crop of al
falfa seed this year. but the enormous
demand for it for sowing keeps prices
up well. From So. 90 to $500 is being
realized for clean seed in large quanti-
ties.
Kansas has jumped into the first rank
of wheat producing states. 1t is the
best cattle and hog feeding ground in
IN the world. 1t has repudiated the re-
publican party and is now ready for

AN ADRoIT THIEF.

He Is Nabbed, However, by Detec-
tives Auble and Hawley.
Detectives Auble and Hawley have,
after several weeks of incidental watch
ing, captured one of the most annoying
petty-larceny thieves in Southern Cali
fornia.
III. r. Whitson was arrested by the
two officers yesterday morning near the
Southern Pacific "Y." For several
months carpenters all over the city have
complained of the loss OF tools, and in
Vulnerable other petty thefts have been
reported to the police. 1t has now been
found that for many of these sneak jobs
Whitson has been responsible. He was
wont to knock about town looking up
buildings in the process of construction.
He would then apply for job shingling
or lathing, and, while hanging about,
managed always to steal some tool or
other. Another line in which he
worked was the robbing of barns, from
which he took halters, brides, curry
combs, brushes and other small articles.
Since the detectives have started to in
vestigate they have found over a hum
dred carpenters tools and lot of stable
stuff, all of which was stolen by Whit
son. The prisoner will probably be
arraigned today.
