CANNOT BE SAVED.
Nearly All Hope Abandoned of Saving
the Elder From the
Rocks.
High Winds Cause Heavy Sea to
Sweep Over the
Steamer.
The Result is That She Changes 10 a
Much Worse Posi-
ton.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-Nearly all hope of
saving the steamship Elder, on the
rocks at Atherfield, have been aban-
doned. All the passengers and mails
have been landed, as have also num-
Der of the crew, while lIGboats are
kept constantly by the side
OF the steamer in readi-
ness to take off the remain
der should it beloiue necessary. 1t was
hoped last night that the government
and other tugs would be able to pull
the Elder off at midnight, but all at
temptS in that direction have failed
Throughout the night high wind pre-
vailed raising heavy sea which caused
high breakers to sweep almost continu-
ally over the steamer. The result is
that her position has changed decidedly
for the worse. Her propeller has been
carried away, the size of the leak in her
bottom has increased and the water is
gaining. The lifeboatS were got ready
to take off the crew when the word to
abandon the ship should Ec given.
last attempt will be made to float
the Elder at 1 o'clock, the next flood
tide. Should it fail all hope of saving
her will be abandoned
Acting, it is believed, under instruc~
tions from the agents Of the company,
the officers of the Elder refuse to give
any explanation of the disaster further
than to say that Sunday night was so
toggV that they were unable to see any
of the lights on the English coast while
making their way up the channel
AZ rough estimate the cargo of the
Eidcris valued at $SS, 600, moi including
the specie, which will be saved The

What is the difference between them

Secretary,

SENATOR PREFER would like to give every
body employment on public works. The sena-
tor doubtless means WELL but II ne wants to I'M
mortaliza his name he should introduce bill to
abolish wOrk.-Harper Graphic.
The Republican party has been
giving us that kind of Legislation for
the last thirty years, The only
trouble with it is, it has been too ex-
elusive in its application. Only a
small part Of the people have been
able to take advantage of these laws,
and they have grown immensely
wealthy at the expense of those who
were less fortunate. Senator Peffers
bill contemplates fair remuneration
to those who perform the labor and
create the wealth of the country, and
we would call attention, just in this
connection, to the character of the
above reference to this bill. Instead
of stating the terms Of the bill and
calling attention to any Objectionable
features in it, the great Republican
weapon, ridicule, is brought into play,
and that Is expected to end the whole
matter. We desire to remind the
Graphic that this kind of argument
has lost its force, if it ever had any,
with the people Of Kansas.

KANSAS CITY, Kas., April 8, 1892


EDITOR ADvooATR:-Wil you please give
place 10 the next issue Of THE ADVOCATE to
the following resolution which was passed by
the Reno County Alliance at It's late meeting by
an almost unanimous vote:
Resolved, That we, the delegates to the Reno
County Alliance In session at Hutchlt son on
April 6, after hearing Brother III. w. SanduSky
on eho National Union Company, believe the
system Is In the right direction, and that we
assure our hearty support In furtheriDg 1t to
success.
We notice that you have given place in the
columns OF THR ADVOCATE for resolutions
passed by sub Alliances relative to the National
Union Company. We feel sure II these Alliances
had correct information as to the purposes Of
the Union Company instead Of condemning the
same they would quite generally give it their en-
dorsement, just as the Reno County Alliance has
done. Yours very truly,
II. w. SANDUsKY.
Yes, we will publish the resolution.
It came too late for last week. In
publishing it we take occasion to OBJ
serve that "we feel sure if these ALI
ances had correct information as to
the purposes Of the Union Company"
instead Of endorsing it they would
unanimously condemn it. We are
further satisfied that they are not
getting correct information either
from Mr., Sandusky or from any other
representative of the company. The
ADVOCATE will give another install
ment Of information upon the subject
as soon as space will permit.

JACKSON COUNTY POLITICs,

We are in receipt Of a clipping from
the Holton Tribune giving an account
Of a bar meeting in that city, the action
Of which does not seem to be entirely
satisfactory to the people. The fol-
lowing is the account of the bar
meeting:
The HOltOn bar met Thursday evening for the
purpose Of endorsing Robert CrOzler for re-elec-
ton as judge Of this district. They tried to get
together in the afternoon but failed. By per-
slstent drumming, however, a few Of the old
ring at last succeeded in getting together thlr.
teen.
The endorsement was made, but We have
reason to believe that some Of the members
registered solemn VOW that they would not
vote for him. We also understand that attOr-
neys OF all political beliefs are afraid to oppose
Crozler for the reason that he uses his position
to help drive them out Of practice Not only has
this been done in HOltOn, but In other placeSaS
well. In LeavenwOrth alone four attorneys who
formerly had a large practice are now practl-
cally bankrupt because they opposed Crozler.
What do you think Of a Judge who will so use
his power as to make the lawyers of his district
fear to oppose mis- reelection? Is q man who
VIII use his power to favor his political friends
the proper person to hold q judicial bench7
We cry shame on him and shame on all who
have not the moral courage to stand boldly up
and oppose him! The old ring owns Judge
Crozler, body and soul, and 1t is time that the
people should rally and rescue the ermlne robes
OF justice from the mire.-HOltOn Tribune.
At subsequent meeting of the
county central committee Of the Peo-
ple's party the following resolution
was adopted and ordered published.
It remains to be seen whether the bar
or the people will win.
NO DICTAToRs WANTED.
HoLToN, Kan, April 8, 1892.
Resolved, BY the Peoples party county central
committee Of Jackson county, that we hereby
denOunce the action Of the bar OF this city in at

for judge Of this judicial district. We expect to
have little say as to who win be Judge, and We
are against CroZier. M. B. PARRoTT,

VOLD TO ISSUES.


This year the Democratic party goes into ma
tiOnal campaign upon issues which should In
sure success.
For positive enunclatiOn 1t has tariff for reVe-
nue., strict economy Of expenditure, local and
individual liberty, and integrity Of admlnIstra-
ton. Those are the JeffsrSOnlan principles from
which the party has never varied in ltS plat
forms, and which have run through all the state
and national terms OF Democratic power.
Every one Of these principles has been violated
by the Republican party, whenever from 1860 to
the present It controlled legislatures and execu-
tiVes. Kansas CITY Times
Now will the Times be kind enough
to state just at what point in the mod
ification Of the existing schedule the
tariff would cease to be protective
and become "tariff for revenueP
II the necessary expenditures OF
the government are to continue to be
provided for by duties on imports,
no well informed person Of any party
can justly claim that the present
schedule can be materially reduced.
The Mckinley bill provided for about
all the reduction that can be made
and the necessary revenues of the
government be maintained. This fact
was recognized by the Democratic
party in the famous Mills bill, which
proposed about the same reduction
as that actually effected by the Nc
Kinley bill. True, there was q slight
difference in the details Of the two
bills, but so far as either principle or
results are actually concerned, that
difference is not material. This
pretense Of an issue between the Re-
publican and Democratic parties upon
the tariff question is too transparent
to deceive anybody. 1t is merely an
agitation of dust to blind the eyes of
the people to other issues
The whole tariff system is a fraud
from top to bottom. It is a tax levied
upon the masses for the benefit Of
the favored few. The only tariff re-
form that is defensible, is the entire
abolition Of the whole system. Let
this be accomplished, and let the
railroads, and the telegraph and tele-
phone lines be owned and operated by
the government at q reasonable mar
gin of profit and add to the revenues
derived from these sources q tax upon
large estates and legscies, a gradu-
Rted income tax, and tax upon un-
occupied lands, and some of the most
fruitful sources Of the concentration
Of wealth will be done away with.
Add to this a national currency, "safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the gen.
eral government only, q full legal
tender for all debts, public and pri-
vste, and that without the nse Of
banking corporations" to extort u.s.
ury from the people, and we may
hope to see prosperity returning to
