ABOVE PARTS ANsHIP,

Again we call attention to the i'm.
portance of the election next Tuesday.
Its importance cannot be over-estlmated.
| Republicans and Democrats alike all
over this country are watching with in
terest the result. The success Of the
Peoples party ticket will confirm in the
minds of the. people all the misrepre-
sensations and ISLANDERS emanating from
PETER, Simpson and others. 1t could
not be explained, and they will natur-
ally conclude that the cause of these
men could only succeed where desola-
ton abounds. The great need of
this state today is immigration,
and we can only hope for it by instilling
it into the minds of the home-seekers
that we are prosperous-and we are
prosperous, for if half the truth were
known the state would stand much
higher in the estimation Of the people of
this country. It's our reputation that is
hurting us. and now is the time for Kan
sas to redeem herself. The reputation of
new state is an ali-important factor
in settling it up. Missouri has always
complained that the million and half
Of people that have settled in
Kansas had to pass through much bet
ter state to get to Kansas, and they be
lieve and know, that the reputation of
Missouri initiated against them. They
believe that the reign of the James boys
very materially retarted the growth of
the state, and large sums were offered for
them, dead or alive. The James boys
were outlaws, and the injury they did
Missouri was incidental to their pursuit
and crimes and not their object in
life. Here in Kansas we have gang
holding high positions, and honored by
the people, who are doing infinitely
more to damage Kansas than ever the
bandits did to injure Missouri. Jerry
Simpson from the time he made the re-
mark ''ain't it HI that should be cleo
ted to congress" up to the present hour,
has never failed when an opportunity
presented itself to knife Kansas. Unlike
the James boys, who took from the few,
Jerry Simpson has touched the pocket of
every man owning a dollars worth of
property in Kansas, and worse than all,
impugned the purity of her women.
1t cannot be that the people are so
stuck on Simpson that they would rather
see the state sink and have Jerry, than
to prosper without him. Jerry himself
said that it was craze that sent him to
congress and we cheerfully admit that
nothing short of q craze can account for

From the dispatches it seems that the
Democratic leaders throughout the coun-
try are trying to run bluff on Uncle
Sam in regard to the orders of the attor-
ney general as to supervisors and mar
shals at the polling places next Tuesday.
Such acts only bring those who engage
in them into rIdicule before the public.
They would have the public believe that
the orders of the government and the
laws under which they are Issued are
simply Republican schemes to intimidate
Democrats and prevent all except Re-
publicans from voting. while in point of
fact it protects all citizens in the free
and unrestrained exercise of the elective
franchise, Democrats as well as Repub-
licans. Nor will Democratic threats and
buster deter the officers of the law from
the efficient and impartial discharge of
duty. The Democrats will get the full
benefit of all they are honestly and fair
" entitled to, but will not be permitted
to take anything more than that.

A PECULIAR BICYCLE.
It Can BE Taken Apart and Carried In Q
Hand bag.

Hand Bag.
A French inventor has designed
bicycle the popularity of which is that
1t can be taken to pieces, doubled UP
like a camera and transformed into
gentleman's walking stick and small
tourist bag, while the solidity and rigid
ity are the same as any other machine.
He has designed two models, and tho
following is his description thereof:
The first has steering by pin and balls,
solid rubber tires, ball bearings through
out, tension from back wheel, steering
wheel Is centimeters, back wheel 20
centimeters, suspension saddle which
can be altered, raised or lowered AT
will; j. also has adjustable handlc-b bars,
brake and cranks. All the pieces Of
the machine are of hollow tubing.
Further, it has lamp bracket, foot rests,
horn and saddle bag under the saddle.
No. is like No. /, except that IL ia
Humber frame, steering by balls with
out pin, and il has mud guards The
model has twenty nuts-twelve In the
frame, four IN the wheels, two Ia tho

models can be fitted with either pneu-
matte or solid tires.
The whole of the machine, wheels,
saddle, chain wheel, chain, handles.
etc, is inolosed in a walking stick and
tourists bag, the shape of which can
be altered. The bag is the saddle itself,
and it incloses the pedals. chain wheel.
chain, handles, axle and five pieces of
the tubing forming the frame. All the
remainder OF the machine is in ths
stick. The stick is 81 centirneters long
and ~ milimeters ia diameter. Ths

A FRIENDLY AIMING.

From the Colwich Courier.
There is not reader of the Courier but
knows Ben McNair, and have IN their
hearts warm regard for him. Every
man, woman and child in Colwich and
vicinity will bear witness, and gladly
too, that Ben McNair always told the
exact truth. We learned to put implicit
confidence in his manhood and integrity.
For this reason what Ben says oil how
Kansas is regarded by the people of
other states will bear a weight beyond
dispute. No one can dispute Ben about
this, for everyone who knows him knows
that he speaks the exact truth.
The following is an extract from a
letter written by Ben to n. A. Stems of
this city.
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. II, 1892.
The feeling must be GOOD down in Fan
sas over the crops. / have an uncle who
is interested pretty heavily out there and
seems to think Kansas one of the greatest

convinced that it is dead and worthless. /
have had farmers ask me how l could live
so long among such squaior and hunger,
and when tell them Kansas people live
better than they do. they quote Jerry
Simpson and feel sorry for me.
Ben MCNAIR
Ben McNair is a Democrat, but we
guarantee if he was here how he would
be found with the stalwarts and 'stand-
ing up for Kansas with terrible earnest
ness. Ben Nc Nair has no use for a
calamity bowler, when the howiers have
nothing to howl about. It Is crime
against God and humanity TO lie about
ourselves. our people and our state.
This is the stock i'll trade OF such fellows
as Kies, Simpson q Co. There are some
awful good men IN the Peoples party,
but they are in bad company. Down
the whole concern, Snow them all I'M
der with truthful, honest votes

The property interests of the citizens
of the entire county are largely in the
hands of the county commissioners,
which fact renders the selection of true,
faithful and competent men TO that posi-
ton a matter of direct personal
concern to every citizen of the
county. Such man as this is
presented TO the voters of the Third
commissioner district IN the person OF
D. 4. Nickerson. There is no citizen OF
that district or of the county more thor
oughly identified with it, by long resi-
dence and property interests than Mr..
Nickerson. and as evidence of the high
esteem and implicit confidence in which
he Is held by those who know him best,
it is stated as an uudeniable fact that

ceive the entire vote'of his township.

aside their party preferences IN his case
and giving him their cordial support.

The registration of voters in St. Louis
was so outrageously fraudulent that pop
ular sentiment demanded that the books
be purged. Accordingly the board of
revision, the majority OF whom are
Democrats, struck IL, 047 names of that
were illegally registered. The same
state of case existed in Kansas City with
a like result. The Democratic hope of
carry Missouri is thereby lessened 10 that
extent The effect of this expose ought
to be to defeat that party overwheiG-
insly.

With D. A. Nickerson elected to the
board of county commissioners the Re-
publican party of the county will be
chargeable with and responsible for the
management of the county's business
affairs. With his opponent in the board
no responsibility could be laid upon
either party for any dereliction the board
might be guilty OF, and every body knows
that there are many ways in which the
county's best interests could be dam
aged without eliminating themselves
personally or in any way involving their
bondsmen. and for which the party con.
trolling the board alone could be held
TO account. There is no more impor-
tant position to be filled at the next
Tuesdays election, and the voters of the
Third district should consider these i'm
portant questions and vote so as to best
conserve their own and the county's ma
teriai interests

In his speech a day or two ago at
Larned Jerry Simpson went out of his
way to slap the railroad employees of the
state in the face. He boldly declared
that, whenever man has an incorrigi-
Bile boy he always went to the pententi-
airy or to railroading." Evidently Jerry
does not expec; any railroad votes and
verify he'll not be disappointed by re-
receiving any.

equals of peni1entiary convicts.

An American travelling in Europe
writes to the New York Tribune that he

Enlistment of free trade would be a
great benefit to Europe, no matter about
its injury to the United States. He
adds:

While Mr.. IIowells will not during

tatiyely announced that he has entered
into a contract With The Ladies' Home
Journal whereby his most important
work will, for some time to come, first
see print in the pages of that magazine.
His new novel, The Coast Of Hohe-
mia" begins in the Christmas issue of
the Journal, and Immediately upon its
close Mr.. IlowcllS Will begin in the
magazine a series of editorial auto
biographical papers, in which he will
trace the influences which led him to
a literary life, his course of reading
and his favorite authors and books.
The articles will practically tell the
story Q. the famous nOyelists life, and
promise to possess in a rare degree
