Canadian Debt and StagnatiOn.
The startling growth OF the debt of
Canada, which has increased from $751;

1891. with population almost at a
standstill and a stagnant trade, is stir

and attention is drawn to the fact, that
while the United States Government has
reduced its debt from $50 to $3.50 per

up hers from $21 to SAT, and the results
or returns do not compensate for the

Some tu o weeks ago W. E. Barber

Some two weeks ago w. e. Barber.
of Bertha, father of W. Nj. Barber. depu-
ty postmaster of Long Prairie, had an
experience with wolves which he does
not care to repeat. He had been down
to Broweryille, and the train being late
that evening he did not reach Hewitt till
after dark. He lives about FIVE, miles
from that village and did not want to
walk the distance, 80 concluded to stay
oyer night with Irwin Stone, who lives
only vile from Hewitt, When he had
covered about halt the distance he dis
covered that he was surrounded by
wolves and that they were intending to
form closer acquaintance than was de-
sirahle. They came out into the road,
before and behind him, swapping and
sna ling, coming so near that he could
see their elar;ng eyes and their teeth. At
the same time he heard them on either
side of him in the brush. He yelled and
also pre- pared to defend himself as best
he could, managing to keep them off till
he got out Of the brush, when they left
him. The people Of Hewitt heard the
wolves and thought they heard him yell,
also, but no one went to his assistance,
supposing some boys were yelling. When
Mr.. Barber goes through the woods
alone another time he will be prepared
to give such unwelcome visitors warm
reception. This circumstance is another
proof that it is not safe to travelthrough

CONCERNING MR.. IVES.

We desire to say a word at this
time in justice to Attorney-G General
Ives. 1t is well known to readers Ct
the ADVOCATE that we were opposed
to placing his name upon our state
ticket. This was for public and not
private or personal reasons. 1t was
our opinion at the time that it would
improve our chances of success to
nominate other men. After the ad-
iournment of the Wichita convention,
we had no motive for further opposi-
tion to hlm, and we do not approve
the spirit with which he has been
pursued by some parties since that
time. Mr.. Ives desires to remain
with the Peoples party. The party
needs his vote, his influence, and the
influence and votes of his friends,
and it is not good politics or good
sense to pursue any member of the
party to such an extent as to force him
over to the opposition in order to
maintain his self respect. Mr.. Ives
proposition to participate in the re-
cent campaign might have been more
generously entertained than it was
without injury to the party. How
ever, the past cannot now be recalled,
and we should in the future pursue q

STAND UP FOR KANSAS.

The stand up crowd has manifested
great solicitude for the credit of
Kansas. There has been great fear
expressed that the calamity howlers
would say or do something to impair
its good name. At the same time all
the scandalous reports concerning
Kansas and her people that have gone
to the country have emanated from
those who have expressed so much
anxiety lest the credit of the state
should suffer in some unaccountable
manner through the success of the
opponents of republican rule. This
was the case in 1890, and 1t is the
case in 1892. The following special
from Topeka to the Lansing Evening
Nelcs of November % is a fair sample
of this kind of work. This is the ar
ticle to which Mrs. Emery refers in
her letter which appears in another
column Of this issue:
CRY FOR BLOOD.

policy that will unite and consolidate
our forces for the next contest. Let
US practice no ostracism and pursue
no man with anything like spirit of
persecution. The very opposition
which has been persistently waged
against him by few individuals has
caused his friends to suggest his
name as a candidate for the United
States senate, and while he has other
things in view, and does not design
entering the senatorial race, opposi-
ton which may appear like persecu-
tion, will create sentiment in his
favor.
The ADVOCATE has no candidate for
the United States senate; and while it
will from time to time have a good
word to say for all worthy candidates,
it regards the legislature (if it should
be a Peoples party leglslature) as
fully competent to make proper Sc
lection from among those whose
names will be presented for the posi-
ton.
