Republican paper that was support
ing A. W. Smith for governor, it is
presumed that we may now say good
bye to the farmer.
The Ulysses Tribune and the Jet

the Peoples party, and it begins to
look as though it would be necessary

Mr. Crank, who was employed in the
Republican Office, became suddenly
very much incensed against the pub
fishers and against the Republican
party and withdrew from both. He
sought Miss Gsrvin in this state OF

THE Alliance statlstclans are trying TO figure
out how there can be so much greater distress ln
the countries Of Europe than in the United
States, when there is no plutOcratic Republican
party nor John Sherman over there.-EmpOTta
Republican.
The Republican is mistaken. The
Alliance ststisticians are not trying
to figure ont any such thing. The
Alliance statisticians are well aware
that there is very little difference be-
tween this country and Europe in re-
gard to the distress that really exists.
The trouble is with Republican sta.
tisticisns, who are trying, in the face
of all the facts, to figure out condi.
tion Of universal prosperity in this
c. untry when no such prosperity ex'
lists. It is not necessary to use tele-
scope in order to discover want and
misery and starvation. Every city in
our land affords abundant examples
Of human misery if the Republican
politicians would narrow the scope oI
their vision sufficiently to see it. We
have little sympathy for that long
range charity which overlooks OF
denies the existence of all the misery
and want among our own people, and
wastes so much wind concering thai

HOW THE ALLIANCE HERALD" WA
GOBBLED,


GOBBLED.
We are in receipt Of copy Of the
Stafford Republican, containing clip
pings from many Republican papers
OF the state, telling their readers Of
the absorption of the Alliance Her
aid by the Republican, and speaking
10 very discouraging manner of the
Alliance and the Peoples party in
that part Of the state. We quote q
couple Of their clippings in order to
show the spirit of them:
The Stafford Republican has absobed the All
dnce Herd Of this town. The Republican IS a
typical party paper-the Republican party Il alb

The facts relating to this absorp-
tion are something as follows: The
Alliance Herald was formerly pub
lished by Miss May Gsrvin, bright
young lady, who was ss true to her
patrons as the needle to the poll.
The Republican did not seem TO relish
the existence of the Herald, and made
frequent unsuccessful attempts to

That is the argument used against
the Peoples party in the south, while
in the north it is said to be an auxil-

that we should have, IN the RuISe Of drug stores,
places that are really salOOn',
There is more good solid sense en-
bodied in that resolution than in all
the prohibition agitation that has
prevailed in the sate Of Kansas dur
ing it's entire history. The PrUhibi-
ton party has been IN existence near
" as long as the Republican party
and, Notwithstanding all the scknowl-
edged evils OF the rum traffic, it has
failed to attain sufficient strength to
make it an element to be seriously
considered in the political contests OF
states or of the nation. Evidently
the masses even Of temperance peO-
pie do not consider prohibitory legis-
lstion the best remedy for the evil,
otherwise the party would have drawn
to it the large temperance element OF
the country.
thoughtful men and women all
over the land are beginning to real
izs that the first step towards the ex.
tinotion of the evil is the removal OF
the element of profit from the traffic.
That done, limitation Of the sale to
legitimate purposes is an easy matter.
This can be accomplished by nation
alization of the entire business OF
manufacture, shipment and sale, and
it can be done effectually in no other
way. We have long advocated this
method of dealing with the liquor
question, and we are satisfied our
party will be ready to accept this
solution whenever the temperance
people are ready to take the STEP
forward to such a platform. The
Peoples party of Ohio and of Massa.
cuhsetts placed such plank in theil
platforms last year, and the Republi

thus constantly presenting the temptation to an

SUBSTANTIAL ANSETS OR WIND.

From the Farm, Field and StOckman.
One of our Kansas subscribers finds
fault with us for "lumpiDg on the Nation
al Union Company with both feet" He
argues that the farmers are completely
at the mercy Of trusts and combines and
this one "promises" to sell goods at less
than others, they ought to be given a
chance. While 1t is true to large ex-
tent that the farmers are at the mercy of
trusts and combines we cannot agree
with our subscriber that they should
give up the fight and quietly submit to
whatever exactions trusts choose to make.
The farmers are organized for self pro-
lection, and if they will act instead Of
talk they can protect themselves. If
there were assurances that the National
Union Company was responsible and
sincere In Its intentions, the Farm, Field
and StOcEmGn would be the last to Jump
on them" Their actions throughout have
been, to say the least, suspicious. They
seemed always to have something in the
background which would not bear the
light. These "niggers In the woodpile"
seem to be their connection with the
twine trust, and their inability to show
up sufficient financial hacking to warrant
the Issue Of $4,000 600 in bonds. IL will
be remembered that this concern pro-
poses to buy up Alliance and other stores
until they have one established in every
county In the United States-abOut 1000
paying for the same, not 10 cash. but In
"debrnture" bonds, running thirty years
and bearing per cent. interest. Such
bonds are nothing more nor less than the

tate or any tangible property IN addition

rant the issue aud affords security for
such bonds, and can fix 1t in such way
that 1t will remain as collateral for their
security, and can furnish satisfactory
evidence of it's ability to earn and pay 8
per cent interest on the bonds, they
would be "a good as cash. Up to This
time, although frequently lmportuned TO
do so, they have not shown upsuch assets

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND PR0HI-

The Capital speaks Of the resolu-

they have caused some queer ''sensa-

is between the devil and the deep sea
on this question; and the Capital de-
clares that the demands Of the minis
ters must not be ignored. As we
have before stated, the Prohibitlonists
