THE CAPITALS SPECIALS.

Speakin g of the ADvocATE's crlti-
Cism upon the lying report OF the
X ingman meeting, that hypOcritical
journal says:
In order to discover the full facts in this mat
ter we sent the foregoing Screed the ADvo-
Gates cOmment.) to our esteemed Kingman
correspondent, with request for an explanation.
Thereupon the esteemed corre-
spondent" confirms his former report,
as might be expected. In another
column will be found q communi-
cation to the ADVOCATE from a man
who is not ashamed to sign his name
to what he has to say, who proves the
Capital correspondent a liar, and also
exposes some other falsehoods Of
that great moral teacher of the peo-
pie.
But the report OF the Kingmsn
meeting is not the only false report
Of our meetings found in the Capital.
Its report Of the Emporia meeting
contained scarcely a word Of truth.
It made a great ado about the failure
OF the parade as compared with that
of two years ago, in order to convey
the idea to its readers that the inter-
est in the movement had largely
fallen off. The fact is, the parade was
entirely abandoned on account of the
excessive heat, and everybody went
to the grove by the shortest route. It
would not do for the Capital to state
these honest facts. They would not
answer its purpose.

RATS II

Those having charge Of the Carne-
gle iron works at Homestead are con-
stantly giving ont the information (D
that they are securing an abundance
of new men and that they are getting
along swimmingly with their work,
and Jay Goulds Associated Press and
the plutocratic journals of the entire
country are aiding the Carnegie out
fit in the attempt to deceive the peo-
pie respecting the situation; but has
anybody seen any account of any
shipments made from the works since
the lockout? Do these plutocratic
gold-bugs take the people for fools!
The Homestead works are evidently
not turning out great amount OF
material, or some Of it would be
shipped to the navy yards where
work has been delayed ever since the
beginning of this difficulty for the
want of it. Give us something fresh.

THAT CAMPAIGN OF ARGUMENT

Some time ag0a we directed few
interrogatories to the Republican
candidates for congress respecting
their views upon certain public ques.
tions, and Offering them the columns
of the ADVOCATE in which to make
their answer. There is no medium in
the state through which they could
reach one-hslf as large q Kansas con-
stituency. We sent a marked copy of
the paper containing this proposition
to each candidate, but up to date not
one has responded.
Gentleman, don't be backward. We
offered you an opportunity to reach
the people that you can get nowhere
else. The offer is still open. Don't
neglect it This is to be a campaign
of argument, you know, and we want
our people to see some OF your srgu-
ment.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-08-17
THE PEOPLES PARTY WILL AT
TEND TO IT.

It is so seldom we find anything in
the Capital that we can agree with
that we quote the following with a
good deal Of pleasure:
We can't see any sense in the attempts Of a
few Republican papers to make campaign ma
terlal out Of the Watson investigation as indi-
eating that the Democratic house was made up
Of ''jags." Both parties are equally responsible
for the government saloons In the national
capitol and the best thing the Republican party
can do is to wipe out the national disgrace or
keep quiet.
There is very little in the Watson
investigation for the Republican pa
pers to make campaign material out
Of, any more than there is in the
Pinkerton investigation. They are
responsible for both. The Pinkerton
thugs and the capitol saloon will be
two evils that will receive immediate
attention when the Peoples party
comes into power on the 4th of March,
1893.

THAT CAMPAIGN OF ARGUMENT.

The Capitals treatment of John
Martins letter is fair sample of it's
treatment of every public question,
and every argument that is submit
ted to the people from an anti-Re-
publican standpoint. It is simply
ridicule, with no attempt whatever
to answer an argument presented.
The Capital is wise, however, in not
undertaking to answer it. It is un-
answerable. 1t is one Of the most
statesmsnlike productions that has
been given to the public since the
campaign opened. The Capital says
it should have been given to that jour
nal or to the ADVOCATE If designed
to reach the Peoples party. Don't
worry about the ADVOCATE. 1t will
publish the letter all right. Will the
Capital do 80 much? Will it dare tc
permit its readers to see this letter
instead Of a half column of ridicule
Of it in its columnsG

We have often heard Of Geo. 7.
Anthony's eloquence, his shrewdness,
his ability to deceive the adversary
as we'll as his friends, and we have
even heard something about his war
record, when the railroad men Of Kan
sas threatened to destroy the govern
ment; but we have yet to find a man
who ever accused him of being honest.
This is the kind of a man the stand
up" crowd want to have represent the
state Of Kansas in congress. A lovely
specimen, surely.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-08-17

SPEAKING Of insults in public places
reminds us Of little incident at
Washington, Kansas, the other day.
During the Peoples party rally some
Republicans brought out q banner on
which was "We are the riff-rsff of the
Republican and Democratic parties,
and we all want Office" This was
put up in a conspicuous place on the
line of the procession. No doubt it
was the means Of winning great
many voters from the Peoples to the
Republican party.

DROP The THING.

We observe some of our exchanges
are still running the Gilruth fake,
"The Imperialism of Capital" Know
ing Gilruth as well as we did, the
source of the thing was enough to
condemn it, and the ADVOCATE never
published it. Now, brethren of the
reform press, there is devilment
enough to be found in the Congress
sionGI Globe and Record and other
official publications, the responsibility
of which the old parties cannot es-
cape, to everlastingly damn them.
Let us stick to these and other facts
that we can prove, and our position is
unassallable. Leave fakes to the
enemy. They always react on those
who use them.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-08-17

The only hope of Republican sue
cess in Kansas in the coming Novem-
Der election is based upon the claim
that former Republicans who voted
the Peoples party ticket in 1890 and
'91 are going back to the old party.
Suppose Republican editors, who are
SO sure of this stampede, give us the
names and addresses of a few Of these
returning prodigals. They ought
not to be hard to find where there are
80 many of them.

GEN. PAUL VANDERvooRT is said to
be just as good a Presbyterian as the
president is, but that does not pre-
vent him from entertaining a holy
hatred for the methods of brother
Harrison and his whole outfit. He
says: "T denounced Harrison when
1 was a Republican and when 1 was
commander-in-chief Of the G.. A. r.

worthy the respect Of honest men,"
The generals feeling in the matter is
Hsrrison's treschery to the cause Of

EDITOR CHAMPION: II notice In your Issue Of

Is surely nothing In common among the old SOL

cannot afford to do this. see, In this county at
least, q large majority Of the old soldiers sup

Life remains to any Of US who still remain here to
enjoy the free air of liberty that we sacrificed so
much TO preserve. In the name OF all that Is
dear to the people Of earth, beseech you not to
drive the wedge any further. Get yourself upon
q broader plane and let no further violence be
done tOmar the true fellowship Of every comrade
Of the late war. As wrote you few days ago,

LICK OBSERVATORY, CAL, November 29-The
Holmes comet has been systematically ob-
served here since November Sth, but stormy
weather prevented observations during the past
week. Its position has been accurately mea-
sured by Professor SchaleZerie with mefl-
dian circle aud By Professor Barnard with
tWelye-nch telescope. The latter has also SO
cured a good photograph OF the comet. MT.
Campbell has observed its spectrum Visually
and photographicaly with the great equatorial
The observations show that in many respects
il Is the most remarkable comet CT recent
years. On November Sth It's diameter was one
sixth Of that OF the moon. Ii was 50 Sharply 90
fined that il resembled a planetary nebula.
Near the centre OF the ball called the comma
was an unusual nucleus, slightly elongated.

Observations here differ from others reported
The apparent size OF the comet has continually
increased, until now IL is about two thirds the
diameter OF the moon. IL Is quite dihused and
elongated and has tho appearance OF an Orul-
nary comet Though IL has grown larger II Das
also grown fainter, and Is barely visible to the
naked eye.
COmputers agree that IL Is not Biela's comet,
and that Ii is neither close 10 nor approaching

sisted by Rev. DR.. S. ID. Alexander as
stated clerk and Rev. DIR. James II. Hoad-

From an early hour the galleries of tho

them being many ladies. The bad weather
prevailing apparently had no ehect on the
attendance. The case continues 20 excite

CIyCINEATI, O., Novemb Der 29.-The entire
forenoon session OF the CINCINNATI Presbv-
tery was spent IN discussion of the sufti-
cheney in form and legal effect of the third
charge and specifications against Profes-
sor Henry Smith. Yet, as in nearly all the
preceding discussions, the speakers have
wandered from the form to the substance,
and have in effect been treating the case as
if il were before them TO decide upon Pro-
fessOr Smiths guilt or innocence, rather
than upon the merits of the work OF the
Prosecuting Committee in its effort 20 pre-
sent proper charges and specifications.
CHARGE THREE SUSTAINED.
At the afternoon session, after two hours
more of discussion, yea-and-nav vote was
taken on the question Of sustaining the
sufficiencv IN form and legal effect of the
third charge. 1t showed what had been
fOreshadowed in the two debates, that at
least two members of the court had come
over TO the side of the accused. Ono was
Rev. ii. Gilchrist, pastor of the church IN
which the court SITS, and the other was Rev.
f.. G. Walker. The latter, IN his remarks
on the discussion, said that If ministers
holding the views which Professor Smith
has taught are to be subjected TO trlal the
presbytery Will have enough heresy trials
to keep 1t busy for three years.
THE FORMAL TRIAL.
The sufficiency of the third charge was
sustained. The specifications were oil
approved. The court Is now ready to be-
gin formal trial.
