Third Party Talk.

Harper's Weekly, which was for years
leading republican authority, says:
The Reform Club in Boston is con-
sidering, or proposes to consider, the
advisability of calling an independent
or mugwump convention at some time
during the spring. The suggestion
alone, whether such convention be
called or not is very suggestive fact.
1t shows what we have often pointed
out, the extreme difficulty of reform tcithin
party. The mugwump movement of
1884 was treated by republicans very
foolishIy. Nothing could have proved
more clearly the want of political pei
ception among republicans leaders than
the attempt to belittle it,"

be reclaimed?
T. Should railroads and telepraphs
be under government management?

elected by direct vote of the people?
6. Do the farmers pay their share of
the taxes?
z Do the railroads pay their share
of the taxes?
6 How can the law taxing notes and
mortgages be enforced?
9. Should the Australian ballot law
be passed?

The Cresset raves of "demagogueism,

The Cresset raves of ''demagogueism"
when it means "demagogism,' or
"demagogy," and charges the alliance
with some of that sort of truck because
it does not cut salaries to 81 per day
for county officials, or thereabout, and
says the republican senate was willing
to meet the alliance half way in the
cut. The senate was quite willing to
cut the salary of alliance men, bat it
had thirty years in which to cut saIar-
les before the alliance came in. and it
never cut cent. If it was 80 willing to
cut, it must acknowledged that salaries
were too high. If too high, who made
so, and how long had they been so?
Why did not the republican legislature
cut them ten years ago? We will get
at the official salary soft snap when We
get an alliance senate, and will not
starve officials, but will equallze salar-
les somewhat in accordance with the
times. The Capital and the Cresset
make Kansas so prosperous and full of
money that the alliance has not had
the cheek to reduce the salaries of alli-
ance officials.

releases of farm mortgages during the past
eight months to the amount of $l4,0OO,OOO."
Yes! yes! The Capital was swearing.
about one year ago, that all the farm
mortgages in Kansas did not amount to
this sum. And ever since that time it
has had the monthly releases by sheriff
sales to show the wonderful prosperity
of Kansas farmers. If our debts are
evidences OF our prosperity, why should
not the Capital grieve oyer the release
OF these debts?
