ANOTHER PLANK SHIVERED.

From the Kansas thief.
Hon. J. w. Ady. who is making a
canvass of the state, is ripping into
splinters one of the choice planks of
the alliance platform-government own
ership of railroads. He shows that it
would be only detriment to the pub
lie and especially to those who are clam
oring for the measure.
The government never pays damages
or losses. Take the mails as an illus
tration. All possible care is taken to
prevent loss of valuables sent in the
mail, and if lost, all possible diligence
is used to recover the property; but the
government never makes up such losses.
The government of the United States
cannot be sued. If there is wreck,
in which men are killed or goods de-
stroyed, car of cattle or hogs smash
ed up, or grain dumped out in the mud,
there could be no suit for damages.
If the cars should kill farmers cat
tie, there could be 70 recovery for dam
ages. If man should undertake to
cross the track IN front of locomotive
running at full speed, and should be
hoisted off and his thumb knocked out
of joint. there would be no chance for
him to recover $4,000 damages, half of
it to go to the lawyer who urged him
to bring the suit.
If the locomotive set fire tC wheat
stack, and destroyed a hundred bushels
of wheat, there would be no way for
the farmer to recover $4,000 for the
wheat.
Government pays no taxes on any of
its property. As it now is, the rail-
roads pay large proportion of the
taxes for the expenses of running the
state, the counties, and the schools.
The railroads now pay not less than
S2,OOO,OOO taxes in Kansas. If the
government owned them. they would
pay not a cent, but that amount of
money would come out of the pockets
of the farmers and other citizens of the
state
So that - will be seen that the alli-
ance bobby of government ownership
of railroads, like all other of it's hob
bies, and like the alliance itself, is de-
fusion and a snare. If the jackleg
lawyers who are running the party
knew anything about law, they could
enlghten their deluded brethren.

work OF all kinds Of buildings, giving
them a prior lien for wages, and in all
ways protecting them from rascally
contractors.
Miners, who pass their lives under
ground, have been cared for by laws
which require operators to make safe all
mines. Not content with the laws a re-
publican legislature created the Office Of
mine inspector, whose duty it is to see
that these laws are regarded.
This list might be indefinitely ex-
tended, for all through the statutes Of
Kansas are to be found laws designed to
protect the masses and having constant
~ IN view the betterment of the condi-
ton Of the poorer classes. They have
been protected by laws against the
adulteration of food, for the inspection
of meats, and in every way that would
protect both health and property.
When the one peoples party body Of
the legislature had the opportunity, not
one solitary measure was introduced
that would benefit in any manner the
workingman or improve his condition.
1t is sad fact that the time OF that
body was devoted to making campaign
and calamity record, with some instances
of attempted reputation, but never did
the welfare Of the workingmen receive
attention. The opportunity was theirs,
but instead of endeavoring to pass laws
that would improve the condition Of the
masses, the members of that body fol-
lowed the shadowy vision of finance and
investigation, all for effect among an
already too much deluded people.
No member of the peoples party can
point to single bill containing provi-
sions of helpful character which orig
mated in the last house of representa-
tives, unless it was introduced by re-
publican.
The time has come when the citizens
of Kansas must choose between contem-
plated misrule and anarchy, or good,
healthful and beneficial government by
t.standing up for Kansas"

THE WORKING MANS FRIEND.

The Republican Party has Proved
to be the Friend Of the Working
Man in all Instances.
The average Kansan feels proud of
his state and all that it has done for its
citizens. Coming into the Union under
republican rule. the first thought OF the
men who had the making of our consti-
tuition and laws was to preserve to the
families of all their homes, no matter
what adversely might come to them.
This was done by exempting the
homestead from seizure for debt, and
saved the little that may have been ac-
cumulated in this way to the wives and
children of many men who through i'll
luck became involved. Not only was
the homestead preserved, but the tools
OF the workingmap were also exempt
from seizure, showing the wisdom of the
republicans in guarding the interests
of their fellow citizens.
Having done this, the party sought to
protect families when the head died.
Taking lesson from those States which
have always been democratic, where
women were worshipped and at the
same time unprovided for, the republi-
cans of Kansas said: 1--WE will care for
the widow and the orphans when death
robs them of their protector. The re-
suit was the passage of law that gives
to the wife one-half of the husbands
property after his death. and bars him
from willing that portion away. If he
dies without will, it all goes to the
wife, if there are no children, and is
equally divided between mother and the
children if there are any of the latter.
Those staunch democratic states of
Missouri, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana
and. all the rest, only provide dover,
which may be taken away by will.
More than this, in these democratic
states, should the husband have in
process a suit for any damages at the
time of his death, all action ceases, and
what might have been a comfort to wife
and children is forever lost to them. In
Kansas the nearest kin continues the
suit and RECEIVERS damages, which may
partially provide for those left to battle
alone with life. A republic party has
done this.
1t has done more. Should the head
OF family be killed through the negli-
gencs Of q railway company or any OF
its employees, good republican law
permits the recovery of $4,000, or
double the amount that can be recovered
in any other state Nor does the guar
dianship SO far as railways are concerned
cease here. In case of damage to stock
or to property by fire, good republican
laws provide that the railway compa-
MES shall pay attorney fees and court
costs az we'll a. damages.

TWO THOUSAND WACE-EARNERS
ADDED

The Mckinley tariff made the profit
able manufacture of down quilts posi-
BILE in the United States. Previous to
it's enactment down quilts were a luxury
used only by people who had plenty of
money. Ninety eight per cent of these
goods were imported from England.
Only one small factory for their manu-
facture existed in the United States
To-day there are six American down
quilt factories doing prosperous bust
ness. The price of the finer grades Of
down quilts has fallen from $50 to SIT
and Of the cheaper kinds from s12 to
Sc. Two thousand workers are already
employed at American rates of wages in
this industry, which the Mckinley law
virtually created. And this reinforce
ment to the great army OF American
wage-earners is likely to increase many
fold as the industry is further devel-
oped. 1t is facts of just tn sort that
make votes for the republican party and
protection.

KANSAS HEALTHY CONDITION.

Why Not ''Stand Up for Kansas"
When 1t IL Shown By the United
States Census to be the Most
Prosperous State in the Union?
There are men who delight in warp
ing and twisting figures in order to
show that their state is deep in the mire
of distress. Prosperity is a bitter pill
to them, which is taken with wry faces.
The fact is that Kansas was never in
healthier condition, and no other state
in the Union equals its prosperity.
There is heavy bonded indebtedness,
but the collateral is 90 good that it
might be increased four times and yet
We would 5e able to pay every cent and

The true value OF all property in
Kansas, taxed and untaxed, is estimated

The mortgage indebtedness of the state

all property in the state.
The assessed value of taxable acres in
Kansas in 1889, the time when the
enumeration of mortgage indebtedness
closed, was s173,sO1, O1O; the mortgage
indebtedness against acres was $751;
5000, difference in favor Of the acres
of $6,655,971; this on assessments OF
land conceded to be at one-fourth of the
cash value. The assessed value of town
lots was $76,330,671, the mortgages
against these being s6S.34O,069. This
gives margin of s7,99O,602, at valu-

1t is fact worthy of consideration
that man who is arogue at heart, or
little in mind, will always mistrust
the honesty Of purpose of his fellow
men, and stands ever ready to detract
as much of the truth from their utter
anees as lies in his power, and never
loses an opportunity to try and make

AIRY. There are such men, who pos
sess very little of the milk of human
kindness, but they belong to that class
ofindividuals properly called "cranks"
In some instances, no doubt, they are
mentally incapable of comprebending
what is just and honorable, and in
such case are more to be pitied than
condemned; but in a vast majority of
cases it is the giving vent to the pure
unadulterated ''cussedness" of their
willful dispositions. Weaver Signal.

The Fight Fer The Northwest.

Both parties have arranged for a
branch headquarters in Chicago, which
indicates that an earnest struggle will
be made for the possession OF the
Northwest. Ever since 1884 the Dem
ocrats have been casting longing eyes
on that section, and in 1888 they
thought their chances SO favorable
that their leaders made frequent
boasts during the canvass that several
States of that locality were to be TAX
en- out of the Republican column.
Their predictions failed of fulfillment
then, but they are being repeated now
with more vigor than before This
time the Democrats are going about
their purpose, however, in more
practical way. Early in the campaign
the Democratic leaders decided to
establish carbohydrates in the
section to be attacked, ard Chicago
is the place selected. While the
Chicago branch is to receive its orders
from New York. it is to be in direct
charge of the details of the campaign
in the States west of Ohio and north
of the Missouri line. The heavy work
of the campaign, of course, will not
begin anywhere until September, but
in that month and October the chances
are that it will be more active In the
Northwest than it ever has been thus
far in Presidential years. In order to
give encouragement to the party the
Republicans will manage a campaign
over this field from the same point.
The Western voters will receive some
of the same attention this year that
the voters of New York and Indiana
have been monopolizing in the past
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Tarsney eight-hour-law, in its ap
plication to all government contracts,
has gone into effect and it has already
raised serious question for the law
officers of the United States. Accord
ing to the construction placed upon
it in the treasury department it will
practically prevent the erection OF a
federal building in the United States
until every mine owner, quarry owner,
owner of a sawmill, rolling mill or
brickyard in the country adopt eight
hours as a days work for his en-
ployes The law requires that in
every contract awarded the
contractor shall be required to adopt
the eighthour system in the employ
ment of his men; and, further than
. this he must use no material which
has been prepared under any other
plan of labor. If he has the contract
for cutting and setting stone work
his material must be secured from a
quarry where the men are employed
eight honrs only each day, and paid
a full days wages for such employ
lnent His stone cutters are placed
under the same basis. Bricks used
must be made in yards where the
laborers are paid for a full day of
eight hours of labor. In structural
iron and interior furnishings the same
rules apply, and, according to the
treasury officials, it will be necessary
for the contractor to secure a bond
from each person from whom he pur-
chases material that it is prepared
under the eight hour system.
