THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

a Kansas Democratic newspaper, the
Eureka, Greenwood cou2.ty, Messenger,
tells its Democratic readers the situation,
in the following words:
CATER all that has been said upon the
subject. we still find a few Democrats
who do not yet understand how a vote
for the Weaver electors in Kansas helps
Cleveland. The situation is very simple
and easily understood. Suppose that
Cleveland should carry the solid south,
New York, Indiana and New jersey.
but should lose Connecticut. He would
then have 220 electoral votes, or three
less than enough to elect. Now suppose
that Harrison carries the remainder of
the country with the exception OF Kan
sas. He would have PA votes or nine
less than enough to elect. Now If the
ten votes of Kansas should be added to
the Harrison column they would make
a total of PA, and Harrison would be
elected with one vote TO spare. On the
other hand suppose that the Weaver
electors carry Kansas. In that event,
neither Cleveland nor Harrison would
have a majority and the election would
be thrown into the house Of representa-
tlves, where Dir. Cleveland would be
chosen president by large majority.
Thus it Is plainly apparent that the
presidency N, y depend upon the result
III Kansas. No person who wants to see
Cleveland elected should fail to vote and
work for the Weaver electors"
No one who is intelligently informed
on the subject will deny for one moment
the correctness OF the foregoing. We
commend 1t to the thoughtful considera-
ton of those Populists who are in the
movement from sincere motives but
who have no sympathy for the Demo
cratic party and lis undecided and vacil-
lating policy on the tariff and money
questions. The contest IS between
Cleveland. with the promise of repeti-
lion of his former four years of Demo
cratic misruie, and Harrison, with a con-
tinuation of his splendid administration,
under which the country has grown into
a condision of. prosperity unsurpassed in
the history OF the country. Which do
Won prefer?

ABOUT THE WEATHER,

A month ago Professor Hicks told the
public that we would have an early fall
and an unusually hard winter. He also
said, at that time, that we would have
some very decided weather demonstra-
lions about the 21St of September, last
ing until the close of the month. As to
the latter features the professor missed
his guess: there never was so undemon-
stratIve an equinox, not even a shower
OF rain falling at or near that period. So
far there has been but one frost observa-
bic, on the 9th inst, with every prospect
at present for continued mild fall wealth
er for several week.
Now comes some of the old time sway
down east" weather prophets who pre-
dict late fall and mild winter. One
of them says the tree toads and grass
hoppers all act as they do when there is
to be a late fall and mild winter He
also notes the fact that where the dande-
lions are in blossom as late as Oct 1, and
the golden rod blossoms are bright and
the mountain ash berries late in getting
red, 1t is sign of reasonable conduct on
the part of the ice king.
All this brings to mind the old "saw"
OF all signs Of rain fail in dry weather,
AMI until the rabbit foot, the goose bone,
the corn husks, the fur on the wild
varmints, and the score of other admon-
ishers shall have been consulted, forecasts
will be premature and mere guess work.

Mr. G. Wood Davis figures the corn crop
of Kansas at less than 100000 bushels,
while Secretary Mohler places it little
over 140 600, 600. The discrepancy is ac-
counted for, probably. by the circum-
stances that Mr.. Davis figures up where
the Sun shines, while Mohler does his fig
uring down where the corn grows.
The Cheyenne county agriculture fair,
held in St. Francis last week, was nota-
BILE success in the magnificent agricultural
displays from the several townships. A
year ago the late Senator Plumb attended
this fair and said it was most wonderful
surprise to him to see such grains, grasses,
vegetables, etc, grown in that section and
that Der displays would be a credit to the
state fair.
Despite their reservations to the con-
trary there is widespread suspicion that
Weaver, Lease g. Co. are not eggs-actly
satisfied with their reception in the south,
and that hens-for they will do 10 more

nothing for Kansas Republicans TO crow
over.

man Of unquestioned integrity. Good
reports continue to come from his dis
trict regarding the prospects for his
election. The EAGLE has taken pains to
investigate his standing among his
neighbors, and finds nothing but words
of commentator from Republicans,

SAYS WHAT HE THINKS.

Honest ''old Gabe" Bouck, never afraid
to say what he thinks, has hit the
Democracy Of 1892 hard blow between
the eyes. In an interview printed in
the Milwaukee Sentinel, Wednesday, he
says he cannot understand the asinine
leadership that would set itself up
against the supreme court in the gerry
manGer cases, and is very sewers on the
ruling dynasty of tie Democratic party
in that state. In regard to his going
upon the stump this fall he says:
"Do you suppose that | am going out
among the people who know me and
advocate return to the old state bank
money and argue for free trade? And
if went on the stump and didn't men,
ton either, and some fellow should ask
me what l thought about them, what
could | say? Its nonsense. These fell
lows talk to suit everybody. Tom
Jefferson recognized protection and
Democracy should be as it used
be, TO give the protection
to those who need it. Jefferson favored
a national money. The people don't
want money from state banks or private
banks. They don't want to go back to
the times when the money was most val
liable to the fellows who shaved discounts
on It. There are too many people alive
who remember when dollar wasn't
worth anything the minute you got out
out of the state in which it was issued.
Take it right here with us. We know
that Old Kellogg's bank was all right,
and that Old kellogg's money was just
as good as gold, but you take one OF his
bills down TO New York and you would
run up against discount of from ! TO
per cent. There is no choice between
the parties on the main ISSUE" continued
Colonel Bouck. Il believe with that
preacher down south, Sam Jones, that
the old party is ruled by knaves and the
third party by fools | do not think
that Cleveland is dishonest, but he is

island as the realm over which / would
rule. Pete was perfectly willing to be-
come my subject on condition that
there would be little to do and plenty
to eat; so one night we loaded an old
scow with provisions, sueaked a single
barreled shotgun, and set out on our
voyage. We reached the island all

the scow and built hut. We then

A Farmers Tariff This.

What the Mckinley law has done for
agriculture:
l. 1t has saved to the American
farmer a home market for his barley,
worth over S., 900, 000 yearly.
2. 1t has saved to tie American
farmer a home market FOR his tobacco,
worth s., 600, 600 yearly.
3. 1t has saved To the American
farmer home market for his potatoes,
amounting to $1,000, 900 yearly.
4. l. has saved to the American
poultry raiser home market for his
eggs, amounting to 81, 100000 yearly.
D. 1t has saved to the American fruit
grower a home market for his raisins,
his prunes, nuts and other fruits, worth
over 50 .250, 900 year.
6. 1t has saved the American wool
grower from utter ruin by protecting
him from disastrous competition with
foreign Scent wool, keeping the price of
American wool at an average of 80 )
cents per pound by comparison with an
average of 1871 cents per pound, as
shown by quotations of similar grades
at corresponding dates in Philadelphia
and London. Difference in favor of the
protected grower. 1853 cents per pound.

aggregates. according to latest summary
of reports, 261, 104, $40 bushels. At an
average price of 40 cents a bushel the
cash value OF these crops amounts to

the other crops and live stock of all
kinds and the grand total will go far
beyond 100000, GOO. If this places the
state and its citizens on the verge Of

we have thus far examined is healthful.
The drainage is everywhere good. The
low valley lands. especially of those run
ming from vest to east, as those of the
Black Bear and Red Rock creek, are
probably somewhat maiarious and we
would regard it as important to the
health of indians located on the high
lands.

preston that the chief difficulty con-
sists in determining the amount of al
lowance which ought to be made in
view of the fact that these lands are for
Indian occupancy aud settlement only,
and consequently less valuable than
lands open to white settlement. We
have devoted our attention carefully to
the consideration this subject. Our
conclusion is, that in view of this re-
striction placed upon their use, these
lands are worth about one-haf As much
as they would be it open to settlement
by white people. AS far as made, our
appraisal is, in our judgment, in con-

DisfranchiSement.

From The Fort Scott Monitor.
The idea of DISTINGUISHING one million
voters, as is proposed by the People
party platform is now to be seriously
considered by the people. 1t is directly
affirmed in the Omaha platform.
Don't it strike the ordinary citizen
that if the government should begin to
disfranchise any portion of the people
on account of their occupation, that the
final result would be that nobody could
vote except the favored few. The rest
of tie people would look on and take
what would he melted out to them.
it is really SO utopian and unreal that
we must ask the forbearance of our
readers Tor even speaking of it. And
yet there are thousands of foolish people
who support and advocate it.
