Lincoln County Convention.
Secretary.


The Peoples party convention Of Lin
coin county adopted the following reso-
lutions:
We, the Peoples party of Lincoln cOun-
ty, Kansas, in delegate convention assem-
bled on the 18th day Of May, 1892, in the
city of Lincoln, for the purpose of select
ing delegates to represent this county in the
state, congressional, judicial and senatorial
conventions, do endorse the demands of the
labor organizations in the st. Louis plat
form, adopted February q, 1892, and we
invite all in sympathy with those demands
to unite with US without regard to previous
political views or affiliations.
Whereas, The railroad board of assessors
for the year 1892 reduced the value of the
railroad property of the state for taxation
over $1,000, 900, and the valuation Of said
property of Lincoln county, Kansas, in the
sum of 29,69O.2O, and
Whereas, There has not been any reduc-
tion in the freight and passenger rate upon
said roads, thereby placing an additional
burden upon the other taxpayers of this
state of about $250,0OO, and upon other tax
payers of Lincoln county nearly $1,000,
therefore belt
Resolved, That it is the sense of this con-
vention that no person who aided or assist
cd in such reduction shall be nominated
upon the state ticket of the Peoples party.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this con-
vention that the judiciary Of this state
should be raised above partisan politics,
and the judiciary should be selected with

actions and course of our state represent

of our fellow citizen, David Ritchie, as a
lawyer and q man of integrity, and his 1T
ness to fill the position of Judge Of the dis
trlct court of this judicial district, therefore
be il
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this con-
vention that the name of David Ritchie be
presented to the judicial convention of the
Peoples party TO be held at tho city OF

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-In an article In
your last weeks issue anent CO. cooperation
1t Is stated that the number of cooper
ative societies in Great Britain Is thir-
teen. believe this statement to be RI
diculously incorrect. There is hardly
an important town In the British Isles
which has not a cooperative society
such as London and Manchester several.
Why cannot people writing on British
subjects refrain from magnifying evils
and minimizing the good? Whence this
extraordinary objection to the truth? As
Shakespeare says, "tell the truth and
shame the devil" AS q co-operator of
some twenty years standing, l know a
little Of the subject.

THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB CONVENTION

THE DEMOCRATIC Gu u eONfENiiO"'
The convention of the New York State
League of Democratic Clubs, now in
cession in New York, promises to ac-'
oomplsh great good for the party.
There is every indication Of most har-
monious session, ald the convention will
doubtless exercise a wholesome Influence
over the II ST Of the country. The mem
b, RS seem 10 be imbued with the spirit Of
activity and energy, and ere buoyed up
in their work by the promise of victory.
Every man must acknowledge that Dem
ocratic clubs are a source of great good
to the psrty. In union there is strength,
and in unions such as these, capacity for
useful work is unlimited. This New
York convention have formulated ring
ing platform donounciEg the unnecessary
and burdensome Mckinley Tariff laws,
End fayorng tariff reform on Logical
lines" which will give us n larger ex-
rort market and reduce the cost Of the
accessories of life. They also denounce
the Force bill as embodying principles
fraught with the greatest dgLger to the
nation. inasmuch as it is a measure not
fer the South alone but for the whole
country, and the tendency of which will
be to destroy that adjustment between
local authority and the Federal power
so long preserved and insisted upon by
the Democratic party 1t also declares,
in unmeasured terms, against the corrup-
lions of the ballot-box rs practised by
Dave Martin and Matt Quay, and
against the reckless extravaganza of
Radicalism.
The platform will be endorsed by the
convention of the National Association
of Clubs. which is also in session, and
through them it will be disseminated and
placed before all the clubs and voters of
the country In reality these club con-
vcntions will mark a Democratic revival,
and from now on the Democratic cam
pagn will be bold, sharp and aggressive.
In fact, these clubs, comprising the State
League and the National Association, will
have a wonderful influence in stirring UP
the voters throughout tie country.
The most notable incident of the con
vention will be the appearance of Mr..
Cleveland, whose address before the as
semblage will be his third public utter
ance since he was nominated at Chicago.
and his acceptance of the invitation to
speak is proof that the deliberations will
be most beneficial TO the party every
whore.
Great benefits TO the Democratic cause
may therefore be confidently anticipated
from these notable gatherings, and rs
State League of Democratic Clubs has
been organized for Virginia in Charlottes-
vile, the work Of organization will be
greatly facilitated and receive a new i'm
petus. The great advantage in these
State and National clubs is that they
unite end coalesce the different divisions
Of the Democratic party of the Union
into one complete whole, therby enabling
into one complete whole, thereby enabling
in the education of the people upon cur
rent issues which will make the party IT.
reSistible.

Senator German, who has recently re-
turned from New York, speaks very en-
couragingly of the Democratic outlook in
that State He says that there is great
opposition to a third ticket being put in the
field. The only reason given by the lead
ers in favor Of such ticket is that it
will bring out many votes for Cleveland
which would otherwise not be cast. The
opposition say however, that a third
ticket would afford an opportunity for
trading votes, which would not exist if
there was only one local ticket out. and
which would be taken advantage of by
the Republicans. The presidential ticket,
therefore, would lose more than it would
gain.

PRAYER-BoOK.

The General Convention will at this time
take its final action in regard 10 the altera-
lions in the prayer-bOck. The book will
then assume its permanent form and be I'M
touched probably for years 10 come.
Most of the changes have been Of 4 simple
character, and many merely legalize what
has for years been in use by the clergy.
The ordinary worshper will scarcely be
able TO detect any marked alteration. The
changes are in the direction CT allowing
more liberty in adapting the liturgy to the
varying needs of our times. and thus en-
aiding the Church TO be more aggressive in
its work. For instance. the clergyman has
the option Of shortening very much the
evening and weekly services.

There can be no doubt whatever of the
general proposition maintained 10y the
Dispatch that where any officer legisla-
tor or other, has a discretion, he is be-
yond the control of the courts. But if
the Constitution confines the Legislature
10 certain limits, whether in apportion-
ments or in any other matter, and the
Legislature steps outside those limits, it
is the duty of the courts to declare its
action void. While within the limits Of
its power lis discretion is subject to no
control. But when it steps outside those
limits il is for the courts to nullify its
action.
