Of warfare is carried on by democrats
and republicans both, with a view of

reliably ascertained from the officers
and men who served with him than
from the partisan newspapers that are

The Antis.Conyention,


The republicans of Kansas are play
ing for desperate stakes. They see
that their cause is hopeless if the
democratic phalanx cannot be broken.
There is good reasons to believe that
the movers III the ants-convention
are paid big money for the work they
are doing. They have been discovered
closeted at republican headquarters in
Topeka, and coming out Immediately
making the call.
The railroads are back of this lob.
Passes were sent out to democrats all
over the state to secure attendance.
We publish in another column evil
dence of this fact. Notwithstanding
all this, the said boiling convention
was dead fiat failure.
In one aspect of this case the call of
this convention was a fight on Martin
and Click, But on the other side it is
presumptive evidence that it is re-
publican scheme and that the manipu-
latOls are getting Doodle galore out of
tho deal.
Any thoughtful democrat can see
that it is trick to divide the party
vote and perpetuate republican SUI
premacy in the state and nation.
The straight democratic convention
nominated the peoples party cleo
tors and state ticket. The sue
cess of this ticket is democratic
success. The defeat of this ticket is
democratic defeat. Will democrats
secure their own defeat? We think
not The scheme will fail.
The peoples party men will stay
with their ticket. II is nothing against
it that 1t has democratic endorsement
in the state. We want to elect Weaver
electors and the entire state ticket of
the peoples party. We want to elect
state senators and representatives. 1t
means the election of h United States
senator to fill the vacancy made by the
death Of Senator Plumb and his regu-
lar successor. Here is where the
fierce fight centers. Let no peoples
party men waver or be absent from
the polls on election day. DO not let
personal preferences swerve you nor
any personal interest deter you,
Eight the good fight of faith"
The democrats know these things
and appreciate the interests at stake.
They will vote solid for the nominees
that the regular democratic convention
has put upon their ticket. The peo-
ple's party cannot help appreciating
this support and will remember it in a
substantial way.

The Chrrency Report.

We have recently received the 1891
report of the comptroller of the cur
rency. We learn some peculiar things
from its perusal. We come to compre-
bend the assistance rendered by the
banks in an enlarged currency vol
ume. We find that in 1874 the banks
held their largest amount of bonds,
being 1891, 100000. We find that they
never owned less than $500, 900, 900
prior to 1888, while in 1891 they held
but $142, 100000, q reduction of over
one-half. We find that in 1865 they
held $155, 900, 900 bonds for other pur-
poses than security for circulation,
while in 1891 they held but $50, 900, 900
for such purposes. We find that in
1882, 2,301 banks existed, while in 1891
there were 1864, and in spite of this
it was asserted that the business does
not pay, In 1865 they had $3.50, O0O,-
900 of circulation out, while in 1891
their bOnd-holdngs were but $780,
100000 and their bills out but $780,
100000. This volume shrinkage has
come even when the ratio Of bond
holdings have been largely reduced.
These released bonds have been a
large source of profit by reason of
their enhanced value. The people S
assistants have failed to keep the
amount Of currency out which they
might, under the law, shrinking their
currency volume to less than half the
maximum.
Commencing on page l25, volume
/, comptroller's report for 1891, the
interested reader may find much in
reference to the peculiar methods Of
money making employed by the banks
through law processes of manipulate
ing the debt to absorb produced
wealth.
1t would seem as il every law Gourted
by the banks was enacted even to the
surrender of $3.50, 600, 900 of their bond
security. With a possible issue of over
$400,000,000 they have shfunk it 10
$l52,0O0,000. The most of this de-
crease Of circulation has been accom-
plished during period of universal
clamor for more money by all pro-
ductive industries, which demand was
used as an incentive for large bond
purchases to save them from general
ruin.
Isit difficult to understand why they

nothing but praise to speak of him as
an officer whom he believed to be I'M
justly maligned.
General Weaver was n most etii-
cient soldier" said General Dodge.
"He entered the Second Iowa infantry
as Il private, was chosen lieutenant of
company e, and. on the promotion Of
Colonel Tuttle to brigadier-general,
after Beauregard's evacuation of Cor.
inth, became major. The regiment
had previously covered itself with
glory at Fort Donelson where it lost
in killed and wounded 1917 men out Of
not much over 600 engaged, and took
conspicuous part in the battle Of
Shiloh. The regiment now bears
upon its banner the proud legend,
First ut Donelson. "
At the great battle of Corinth, the
Second Iowa also suffered severely,
and Colonel Baker was MORALLY
wounded. In April, 1868, Colonel
Weaver being in command, the regi-
ment had engagements with the enemy
at Little Pear orchard and Town
Creek. In the summer of that year it
moved to La Grange, Tenn, and in
October next into winter quarters at
Pulaski, its principal occupation dur.
ing the year having been to keep open
communication between middle and
west Tennessee, while Grant was
operating around Vickburg. IL was
as commandment Of the post at Pulaski
that the most serious charges are made
against General Weaver. for his
alleged levies upon the people of the
surrounding country and oppressive
conduct generally toward part of the
state that was intensely and Vigor-
ously hostile to the federal govern
ment. When the Second Iowa left
Pulaski in April, 1864, it was in Cen
eral Elliott W. Rice's brigade, attached
to the 10th corps, commanded by Gen.
eral Dodge.
General Dodge Insists that in the
position Colonel Weaver then occupied
it would have been impossible for the
latter to have committed the inhuman
and barbarous acts that are charged
against him. 1t there were acts com
mitted that warrant in any degree thu
wholesale criticism now being passed
upon by the politicians. they were
done not of Colonel Weaver's instig
nation, but in obedience to the com
mands of his superior officers.
II have no doubt" says Genera
Dodge, "from my personal knowledg,
Of the man, that the statements mad,
by the post commander as to his act
at Pulaski, which there seems to be
concentrated scheme to discredit, ar
entirely true, and should be accepted
in justice to Colonel Weaver, and hi
complete exoneration.

CAUGHT BY A CLAY CENTER DEMOCRAT
The "StraTghtOut Democratic" Confer
ence Met in Topeka, October q,
A Railroad Combination.

If there is u voter in Kansas who
doubts that the so-called straightout
democratic conference which met in
Topeka, October Z, is scheme of the
republican state central committee
and the railroad companies of Kansas
let him read the following:
About ten days ago a gentleman of
this city, who is we'll known to be an
honorable man and a consistent Demo-
clat. wrote to j. NJ. Simpson, chair
man of the state republican COM
mittee. requesting that worthy to send
HIM railroad passes for himself and
another straight democrat" who
wished to attend the kickers' conven-
ton. Mr.. Simpson replied that he
was sorry that he could not grant the
request. The gentlemun thought that
this settled the matter, and that his
trap would not work. Little more
was thought Of it and no more CORE
spondence took place until Wednes-
day morning, when he received the
following letter:

with tickets from Clay Center to Topeka
and return, to be used by yourself and an
other straight democrat, who will stand up
for Kansas, and straight democracy.
Yours Truly,
W. Nj. MITCHELL,
This letter explaines the inwardness
OF the whole business. The railroad
plssess are in the hands of the afore-
said gentleman and may be seen upon
application if there is anyone who
doubts the truthfulness of this state
ment. w. M. Mitchell is the demo-
cratic member of the board of railroad
commissioners, elected by republican
state officials.
Mr.. Simpson the republican chair
man did not dare send the passes di-
rect, so he turned the matter over to
his tool Of the republican party, No
application was made to Mitchell for
passes and he could have had no
means of knowing that passes were
wanted except through the republican
state central committee.
Like every other intelligent man the
democrat who made the application
for the passes knew that the ''straight.
out democratic" conference was put
up job by the monopolists, and he hit
upon this plan to prove it The
scheme worked to perfection and it
will require an immense amount of
gall for any man to longer deny that
there is combination between the
republican state committee and the
Kansas railroad officials to defeat the
peoples party in the coming election.
w. M. Mitchell, who was sending out
railroad passes was one of the leading
men in working up the Topeka con-
ference. He was not only distributing
free passes, but he was sending out
circulars urging democrats to attend.
The proof is now positive that the So
called "straightout democrats" are
into the railroad republican combi-
nation up to their ears.-Clay Center

Among Chicago's industries is a fac
tory where the manufacture of shoes for
corpses is carried on exclusively.
Out of five neat black boxes a repre-
sentative of the firm yesterday took as
many different sizes. These were adults
and children's shoes. The material cor
responds with the purpose of their use.
The shoes are certainly nice to took at.
The soles are cut out of pasteboard and
are covered with grained paper. The
uppers arc a combination Of quilted
satin and crochet work. A ribbon, in
serted at the top and tied in a neat bow
knot, holds the shoe to the foot.
MEMS shoes are always black" it
was said. Occasionally we turn out a
lot Of brown ones. We have had special
orders for mems white shoes, but only
in a few instances. Shoes for women
and children are always white. They
are not expensive; five to fifteen dollars
will purchase a dozen pairs"
The burial shoe is a patented article.
1t was designed by a Joliet Qlls.) woman
milliner, who now enjoys the profits Of
her idea. The Chicago company has
been in existence for nearly a decade,
and is catering to an ever increasing de-
mand. The firm employs a travelling
man, who covers all the territory be-

II Is a well known fact that milk is
especially apt to soul during the preva-
len,e Of a thunderstorm, and from this
1t has been surmisel that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the tactical fluid. An Italian OK
perimenter, Que Professor G.. Tolomei,
has been making trials Of various sorts,
the object being 10 throw some light on
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience heIassed an cleo
trio discharge from a Holtz machine be-
tween two balls Of platinum hanging
two inches apart in a bottle containing
a quart Of fresh milk; secondly, by send
ing a current between two strips Of
platinum at the bottom Of a V tube
filed with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subjecting milk in n test tube I'll the &C
ton Of q strong battery current through
a silk covered copper wire wound spi-
rally around the tube.
In each one Of these experiments,
which were as thorough as any lover Of
science coull wish, it was proved that
acidulatiOn Of the milk was delayed in
stead Of fastened, as had been expected.
Three equal portions Of milk from the
same milking thus treated began to
grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions Of it which had not been treated
with electricity was ranlly acid on tho
evening Of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory Of lightning
being the direct cause Of the acidifca-
ton Of milk, Professor Tolomei tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent of milk souring. In his second
trial Of ozone lac brought the surface Of
a quantity of milk close to the two balls
of the machine used, and the fluid al
most instantly became acid in conse-
quence.
Here at last n mystery that has puz-
zled professors and peasants alike has
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.
