According to this reckoning, the
Peoples party and Democratic votes
combined would have been 4,64l in
stead of 4,Oj7, this year.
The Republican vote would have
been 2,9l6, instead of 3,jO3.
Now, with what party did the l ,262
vote on the Sth of November?
Let's see. The Peoples party cast
in 1890, 2,77S votes, the Democrats
1,O9O, total 1863. This combined vote
taken from the combined vote of 1892,
viz: 4,O57, proves that 1S9 of the in
creased number cast their ballots
with the "POpuliStS." The Republi-
cans cast in 1890, 2,43O, and in 1892,
1903, which also proves lob of the
newcomers voted with the Republican
party.
Query; If this wOnderfullyincreaSed
vote is legal expression of Sumner
cOunty's increased population, how
does it come that nine out of every
ten voted the Republican ticket in
the face of the fact that a reversal of
this policy was nearly universal all
over the United States?
The total vote cast last year 1891
in this county was 5000. This year
1860. An increased vote this year
over last of 1,55l, which is 25'per cent.
of gain. To say the least, this ar
ray of figures is surprise when we
reflect that even last year the cam
paign waXed warm and bitter. The
charge that the Peoples party of this
county cast more votes than they were
entitled to by the Republican press
certainly falls fiat of its own weight,
and is characteristic of the thief cry
ing, "StOp, thief" 1t also gives the
lie to the charge that the success of
the Peoples party was depOpulating
the state. READ, REFLECT & Co.

The Monitor seems to have gotten
over its period of calamity dumps"
and draws some consolation out Of
the result. 1t says it was "time a
break was made in its long political
supremacy for the Republican party's
own good" 1t adds that there will
be as many strikes, lOck-Outs and la
Dor troubles under Democratic ad-
ministratiOn as under Republican
rule, trusts will be formed, railroad
stocks watered, the GOulds and Van
derbiltS will continue to heap up CO.
lOssal fortunes under Democratic tar
iff-fOr-reyenue, the same as under the
Mckinley bill" Why, of course!
But maybe by the time we have had
four years more of Democracy the
people will have discovered that there
is something deeper than the tariff
that is affecting the nation. How
are the Democrats going to reduce
the tariff when the treasury is salready
bankrupt, unless they inaugurate an
income tax and thereby take a step
toward changing the system? But
hear the statesman further: "The
country was bound not to be satisfied,
discomfort grew more rife with each
successive legislative concession" +"
Concession is good. Who gave you or
your party anything to concede? Why
are not the people the rulers yet and
their officials their servants? Talk
about a hired man "cOnceding" any,
thing to his employer You be-
nighted son of plutOcracy, have you
forgotten the initiative principle of
this government-a government of
the people, by the people and for the
people? ut is a wretched and thank
less job to attempt to make laws in
the present restless and discontented
mood of the popular mind" Well,
we are glad you are rid of that job
and since you have shown an utter in
competency to keep pace with the
progress Of intelligence and the
logic of changing conditions, we leave
you to sit on the fence and cry IAN
archy," socialism" ETC., while the
rank and file of your party walk out
and leave you with the shell, just as
the Republican party served the old
Whig party before the war. GOOdby,
old "mossbacks." When you find
your constituency all gone, you will
come following in. Your party will
never make another national contest.

In 1890, there were cast in the sew
enth Kansas district, 57,7S4 votes Of
which Simpson received 32,6O3, and
HallOwell received 25,lSl. In 1892
the same district cast 66,9O9 votes, Of
which Simpson got 1888. Long 81, 1893,
and Woodward, the Prohibition can
didate got 7O5. In Barber county the
home of both Simpson and Long, the
vote stood in 1890, Simpson 1l56, Hal
lowell 800, Simpsons majority 1856.
In 1892, Simpson 1887, Long 967, Simp-
sons majority $40, which proves con-
clusively that Simpson was popular
at home two years ago, and that he is
still more popular there than is his
neighbOr, ChesterI l.
1t will be seen from these figures
that this district has gained 9l25
voters in two years, which according
to low estimate on population,
would make an increase of population
in the district of $500, in the two
years that the republicans claim that
Simpson and PETER were running Kan
sas by keeping people away and max
ing everybody ashamed of the state

Through the kindness of DR.. Wall
ing we had the privilege yesterday OF
perusing Congressman Tom WatsOn's
paper, "The Peoples Party Paper" of
Atlanta, Ga. 1t is full of rich and
racy reading. How it would do the
heart of the average Kansas Democrat
good, to read how Tom talks about
Democracy. Down in Georgia they
are "rascals" but up here in Kansas
cousins" Down there they pull
hair in regular Old-fashioned style;
up here they eat ice cream and peach
es together like young lovers. Down
in Georgia they fight with bramble
bushes and fOrked fire; up here il is
all soft soap Establishment and arm
in-arm promenade. Down in Georgia
a Democrat is a sinner, in Kansas he
is a saint. What strange cOnglOm-
Grafton it would make to seea Georgia
Populist reading Tom Watson's PeO-
pie Party paper and Judge Naugles
Peoples VOICE. 1t would make a
dose for him equal to a mixture of gall
and molasses. We can see picture
Of one of Toms patrons now, as he

There was some talk of building a
brick hotel on the old Philips house
site, as the town is certainly needing
better hotel accommodations. The
plan has been given up mainly for the
reason that every dollar Of the invest
ment would have to be home capital,
it being impossible now to borrow
money on city real estate in any town
in Kansas no matter how gilt-edged
the security, City loans have not
proven very substantial securities in
the past few years, and the danger Of
further Alliance legislation has alb
solutely closed the pOcket-boOks Of

Thelatter shows an increased vote
over 1890 of 1852, being 20 per cent of
gain. This gain, if attributed to
emigration or other legitimate causes
of increase, would naturally flock
about equally to the support Of the
three political parties. In that event
the Peoples party will have been en-
titled to 555 of the increased vote, the
Democrats 2l8 of the increased vote
and the Republicans 1856 of the in
creased vote. This vote added to the
vote of 1890 would make this showing:

1t is not generally known that the
Chesapeake famous for her historic
encounter with the British ship
Shannon, in 1918, is in existence to-
day, as sound and staunch as the day
she was launched, but is used in the
inglorious capacity of -four mill, and
is making money for a hearty Hamp-
shire miller in the little parish Of
Wickham.
After her capture by Sir Philip B.
V. Broke she was taken to England
in 1914, and in 1920 her timbers were
sold to John Pryor, miller, of Wick
ham, Hants. Mr.. Prior pulled down
his own mill at Wickham and erected
a new one from the Chesapeake tim
bers, which he found admirably
adapted for the purpose.
The deck beams were 80 feet long
and Is inches square, and were placed
unaltered horizontally in the mill.
The purlins of the deck were about II
feet long, and served without altera-
ton for joists.
Many of these timbers yet have the
marks of the Shannon's grapeshot,
and in some places the shot are still to
be seen deeply imbedded in the pitch
pine. The metamorphosis of a
sanguinary man'of-war into peaceful,
life-sustaining flour mill is another
evidence of the progress of civilization
and the general amnesty and increas.

turned them into the fields adjoining
his ranch, and beyond satisfying HIM
self that they were as good as he had
been led to expect, paid no particular
attention TO them. The ranch owned
by Mr.. DeNabb comprises 125 acres Of
fertile land. He had 80 acres of it in
hops last year. Late in September
when the hop pickers were at work
the siwashes whom he had in his EN-
ploy occasionally threw handful OF
the foainy beverage producers toward
the cows. which freqently strsyed near
the hop field.
The COW, which eventually developed
into the freak Of nature which has so
sstonished its owner and all who have
seen it, manifested love for the hops
which soon attracted attention among
the siwashes. Before the hop picking
season was over the cow would visit
the hop field and the Indians would
feed her on hops. 1t was not long be-
fore the beast began to walk through
fields OF grass without eating any of it
or showing in any that she had any
desire for it. During the winter and
up 10 the present time the COW has
eaten nothing but hops, and Mr.. De-
Nabb gets all the beer that he cares
for without purchasing it in the same
manner that his neighbors are COM
PEELED TO pursue.
