POLITICS IN KANSAS

Prospects for Lively Contest IL the Dem.
| "crats and Alliance Combine.
TOPEKA, Kan, May 22.-The campaign in
Kansas is on. though the state tickets are
not yet nominated. The republicans opened
the ball at Hutchinson, and in the nomina-
tion of ex-Gov. Geo. L. Anthony, the recoe-
nized champion of hard money in Kansas.
| for congressman at large, challenged the
opposition to meet them Oh this issne.
Governor Anthony is unalterably opposed
! to the free coinage of silver and has made
| over fifty speeches in Kansas on this issue
IN the face of the alliance UPRISING when
other republicans halted and doubted tho
expediency and policy of such u campaipn

more OF all Endorsement of his radical views
and OF bis power az CAmpa lgner than any
thing else. 1t showed also the Iadical
change OF sentiment among the republicans
of the state since 1890. when the district
ard state conventions tried to out. Herod
the alliance in resolving in favor of tho re-
forms demanded by the new political
movement.
There ia no doubt that tho alliance and
democrats will come together on u cundi-
date for congressman at la rce to pit against
Governor Anthony. This WAS tacitly under
stood at the late meeting of the democratic
state central committee at Salinn, when the
Gull lOr IL htate nominating convention was
made Tor Topeka July 6. In that call no
provision WAS made for the nomination of a
candidate for congressman at lntge or the
selection of candidates for PRESIDENTIAL
electors. 1t WAS understood that the demo-
Gratis would vote the Ieople's party electo-
raj ticket. and in return the Peoples party
were to nominate a well-kuown democrat
for congressman at large. Nothing has
transpired to Illustrate this plan, aud 1t is n
reasonable certainty thnt David Overmyer

convention at Wichita June II. This il tho

and all things are now drawing to a satis-
factory close in the Indian camp. Some
thirty of them will take their departure for
the Flathead agency this week, while the
others will soon follow. The Indians who
intend to cross to the British side are de-
TERED for the present from the fact that
the British custom house officers at the line

compels citizens to pay customs. A decision

The Iron Hall, one of the first and
strongest of the get-rich-quick life in
surance companies, has yielded to the
inevitable. The scheme was to paw to
each member at the end of seven wears
after he is initiated 81 900, although
during that period he has paid into the
treasury at most $500. The life of the
order decends solely upon the acquisi-
ton of new members, each one of
whom is supposed to exert himself to
induce other men to join, with the ex-
pectation that the new members will
contribute their money to pay the
claims of the earlier members. 1t was
claimed in asking for a receiver that
the concern had only 100000 assets,
with liabilities within the next three
years of $22,OOO,OOO.
The 5000 members of the order
whose homes are in Philadelphia are
just beginning to take a hand in the
tight WHICH was started in indianapolis
last week, and it looks as though here
after they would be active participants
