A FAKE.

Mrs Lease repudiates the interview
reported to, have been had with her and
published in the Chicago Inter Ocean
and which has been sent out all over
the country as republican campaign
literature. 1t shows to what desperate
straits the old party has been driven in
order to keep afioat a sinking craft

Arter the Postmaster..

George W. Blake, chairman of the
independent state committee of Ne
brdska, proposes to make charges af-
fecting the postal service. He claims
that the Independent committee has
experienced great trouble in receiving
and sending mail. OF late the commit
tee has been keeping tab, and it has a
list Of 800 letters mailed from head
quarters which have never arrived at
their destinations Notice to local com
mittees of assignment to their towns of
public speakers have been delivered
long after the date fixed for the meet
iBgs Mir. Blake says the trouble is
that many postmasters are too partisan.

Kansas All Right.

Hon. Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, in a
late interview said: 'That democratic
victory in Georgia is not going to have
the least effect on the vote in Kansas,
They cannot get peoples party men in
Kansas to go back into the republican
party by telling them that peoples
party men in Georgia went back to the
democratic party. Because one man
makes a mistake is not an argument
why another man should make one.
Kansas, tell you, is all right The
entrance of Ingalls, into the campaign
will have the effect of driving all the
democrats in Kansas into our party"
After sizing up Ingalls,, Mr.. Simpson
continued: 81 have made fifty-seven
speeches in Kansas and expect to make
twenty-siX more before the campaign
is over. The Weaver electoral ticket
will have $4,000 majority, and 90 per
cent. of the voters will give their suf-
frage to the fusion ticket, which means
an entire defeat for the republicans.
The republicans have the railroads to
carry voters to meetings free, and yet
their meetings are small They also
brought their big men-Alger, Foraker
and others-to stump the state, but it
was of no avail. Kansas is all right,
and know what ! am talking about"

The Egg Argume 1t.

The egg argument always precedes
the success of a new party. Many will
read this who can remember when
eggs and stones were thrown into anti
slavery meetings, when anti-slavery
speakers were mobbed and even mur-
dured, and when anti-slavery newspa-
pers were burglarized and their mate
rial thrown into the streets History
is repeating itself. Gen. Weaver is
treated to rotten eggs by the plutocrats
of the south, and Congressman Otis was
recently egged on the steps of Kansas
hotel in a town where he had inst
spoken by the plutocrats of Kansas. In
the south those who threw the eggs are
called democratsi in Kansas they are
called republicans, hut in principle and
method they are precisely the same.

people. Mt Vernon Qll.) Progressive

Old Soldiers In Line.

Col w. A. Harris, populist candidate
for congressman at large, spoke at Hia-
watha, Kan, on the 18th. The people
paraded the streets headed by brass
band. Col. Harris was met at the de-
pot by a procession of citizens 100 strong
and escorted uptown. Among those in
line were fifty old soldiers who fell into
line and marched up the street in two
ranks, one headed by union soldier
carry the stars and stripes and the other
by an ex-confederate, who also carried
the national emblem The meeting was
presided over by union veteran, a
member of a Wisconsin regiment, and
was grand success. Col. Harris spoke
for over two hours in the open air and
was listened to by an audience of 1000
people.

Housing Up Missouri.

A prominent peoples party man has
this to say of the prospect in Missouri:
eve are going right along and the
most conservative admit that we will
poll at least 100, 900 votes in the state.
We hope to defeat NJ. S. Hall, who is
running for congress in the Second dis
trict. Our man in that district, Mr.. ].
j.. Jackson, is good speaker and cam
paigner, SO much so that Hall has fatty
refused to meet him in joint discussion.
IN the Third district the peoples candi-
date, R. NJ. Reese, is making vigor-
Gus canvass against his opponents with
fair prospects of success. The state
ticket is composed of good men who
are able to defend themselves upon the
principles they represent upon the
stump, Mr.. Leverett Leonard, candi-
date for governor, has made several
speeches throughout the state and al
ways has la.ge crowds wherever he
goes. We expect to elect several con-
gressmen and a large number of state
representatives. Altogether l can say
that Missouri is coming to the front in
the reform movement nobly."

At the end of ten years one-fifth of

while the population having increased
to $4,000, 900, the per capita cost of rail-
road facilities would be reduced from
s16 to S12, gross reduction of 25 per
cent and an average annual reduction
OF 279 per cent, while the met annual
surplus" would furnish fund Of $780,
600, 900 year for all necessary uses.
The bonds being noW payable at the
option of the government, the sum of
$160, 900, 900 of such bonds would be paid
each year, thus effecting an annual re-
duction in interest charge of "a, 600, 900,
and adding that amount each successive
year to the surplus revenue and saved
interest fund of the year before, such
saving in interest charge and the net
annual surplus amounting during the
last forty years of the fifty years term
to the enormous sum of So, 800, 900, 600
or an average of 5000, 200, 600 each year
for the term of forty years. This fund,
thus furnished, would build all neces-
sarY additional trackage, and also CON
struct second or double tracks to our
principal trunk roads, and would fur
nish fund for the payment of any ad-
ditional force of employees that might
be employed, as well as shortening the
hours or labor and Increasing tie wages
OF these 1- ;liready employed.
At the end of fifty years the roads
would be fully paid for, and the whole
sum of 1850, 900, 900 be available for
operating expenses, which is equivalent
to saying that the people would get
their railroad facilities at cost. The
population having increased at the ex-
piration of fifty years, or IN the year
1884, to at least 1000, 900, the cost of
railroad facilities with one-half as much
more mileage than at present, or 24O,-

nation for woman no longer young.

or high sashes, fat or folded, the
whole being set of with dainty figaro
or natty bolero or a trim walters jacket,
all 90 to show that the long, slim, trim
figure is to be the summer fayorite.
and woe betide the poor girl who falls
into the category Of dumpy. She will
be obliged to use all her powers of fas-
cinatioE to keep pace with this sprite of
the fashion plates, who looks so superb
ly tall and willowy. But some girls
succeed in spite of such a drawback as
a dumpy figure. There is no walters
jacket, no matter how becoming it may
be, that can Offset pair of fine eyes or
fill the place of satiny skin, with the
glow Of the peach in the cheek and the
red Of the cherry on the lips.
These little jackets, OF which l have
spoken, look we'll in contrasting mate
rial or in guipure, black or white, lined
with color. To attain the full possibil-
tiles of these charming little garments,
you need some sort of a tasty front Of

must strive for curve and contour, and,
above all things must she display hg-

not run to waspish senderness, but 1t
