Calamity.

The Newton Kansan a ''loil'' g. o. p.
papers, has this to say about peoples
party meeting in Newton:
"Mr. Allen picked up the yarn where
Judge Bashore dropped it and under
took to confirm the views of his party by
quoting the fool calamity planks in the
republican state platform, and some
editorials written by damphool repub-
lican editors who were soured because
they had not been adequately sub
sidized."
1t is coming to pretty pass when a
republican paper is compelled to de-
nounce its platform and declare. that
its own party papers are subsidized in
order to make show of answering the
argument of the opposition party.
The above would indicate that all
the g. o. p. papers are subsidized, but
the Newton Kansan thinks some of
them have not been sufficiently reward
ed for their support of plutocracy. It
would be interesting to know just how
many republican editors the Newton
Kansas classes in its ''damphool" list

How Lewelling Appears.

Last Friday night very good audi
ence assembled in Rose Dale park to
hear 1.-the next governor of Kansas" !"
Hon. L. D. Lewelling of Wichita talk.
He had been detained because of miss
ing train at Lincoln and of course,
was pressed in for a speech at Sahna.
At first glance the stran ger is led to
ask, ''And is this the next governor of
Kansas?" He begins to take a full sur
vey of the gentleman and III spite of
himself begins to feel at ease in his
presence. Lewelling proves to be an
ordinary looking man. Y ou see nothing
of the pompous plutocrat in his make
up. He is such an one as you will often
see upon the busy streets of city ply
ing the honest but sLrewd methods of
the American tradesman. He is free
from austen tation, doesn't even wear
a Prince Albert, but appears in good
business dress. He looks like hearty
eater and good sleeper, but there is no
surplus flesh and nothing tending to
'pussyness" about him. In fact be is
an everyday business man, and goes
about among his fellows with that ease
born of daily contact with the people,
as one accustomed to earn his bread.
His toll in early life as poor boy, his
success later ON in business all conspire
to give him that peculiar home like feel
ing, which says to you, 81 am at ease
among American citizens" Il know
what it is to earn my bread and know
what it is to battle with the odds
against the bread winner"
Mr.. Lewelling doesn't appear like a
speech maker. He just gets up and
talks about the management of state,
just like the merchant will talk about
his business with his clerks. If certain
line of action is thought best, he will
consider the advisability of changes, and
SO the Hon. Lewelling talks along
easily, taking up a thing of disadvan-
tage and showing why thing of ad-
vantage should take its place. He never
gets away from the practical side of
things and does not theorize. He is GER
tainly the kind of governor Kansas
needs.-Salina Herald.

E. Howard and Mrs. Mary ]. Doonan.
These young people are well and favora-
bly, known, Mr.. Howard being one of
Barton county's most successful teach
ers, and the bride one of the first ladies
of Kansas. After the ceremony an ele-
CANT lap supper was brought forth and
the guests did their best to do justice
to it. The next thing in order was view
ng the prese nts, and certainly there
were some nice ones to be looked at.
These young people are to be congratu-
lated, and as they launch forth upon
the sea of marriage life they carry with
them the best wishes of their many
friends.

Opinions.

What is my opinion of holding Office?
1t never gets tiresome to the holder.
What is my opinion of watching the
public official? 1t is the one who makes
money out of his job.
What is my opinion of the average
statesman? The newspapers are the
making or breaking of him.
What is my opinion of this great
and glorious Republic of oursY She is
worth every cent she can cost rs.
What is my opinion OF abolishing
politicians9 Take away the gate re-
ceipts and you viii have mighty few
What Is my opinion of poor human
nature? 1t is too full of its own griev-
aDces TO have any pity to spare. If
you show a man big boil on your arm,
he will tell you be had one twice as big
as that, on the same spot last year.

Real Cause.


That there is tendency to demeral-
ization is admitted by all thinking per-
SONS and every man or party has pet
remedy which will alleviate all ills and
grievances and make life one long
sunny day. The democratic party
calls for a reduction of taxation. The
republican party thinks the higher
taxes are piled the nearer an individual
will approach state of pristine happi
ness. The populist has another scheme
while the prohibitionist ascribes all
the woes of earth traceable to bad
whisky. The preacher and the moralist
come in for their say, too, each of
these reasons taken separately is from
biased view and would answer but a
particular phase of the. trouble. Pow
erty, intemperance, religion and op-
pressiye condition all no doubt contrib
ute to the cause of lawlessness.
But there is deeper cause back of
these: 1t is neither new nor original.
1t has harrassed society from time i'm
1hChO1 iQl Oub Will OuC PlCOOhG RCuOld d.
ton seems to have gained new lease
of life. A mad rush for wealth and an
unequal distribution of the fruits of
labor have destroyed the equilibrium of
| the American people. The relentless
greed of great corporations for colossal
wealth is the disturbing element in the
labor troubles of Pennsylvania, New
York and Tennessee. Money leads
individuals to commit sickening crimes.
| Yet true that there are revolving crimes
i'll which pecuniary gain could not have
been a motive. These are explained
upon the broad principles of genera
cussedness. Conscience no longer
speaks. Money has made our people
unscrupulous and corrupted the laws
of the land. Its victims in dispair OF
relief aud blinded by ignorance throw
off the yoke and plunge into the reck-
lessness Of fAnarchy.-Holton Signal.

The "I,evel of Wares. y


There is no greater dishonesty than
that involved IN the protectionist claim
that difference in the level of wages
between Europe and America" con-
trolled the Mckinley division of our
tariff.
The fact has been officially disclosed
many times that the ''level CT wages"
is higher in free-trade England than in
any protected country of Europe-and
most of these countries have tariffs
for protection.
The ''Ievel of wages" varies as much
in different states of our union, under
the same tariff, as it does between this
country and England.
The fact was admitted by the Tribune
some weeks ago that "the higher eff
cheney of labor secured by higher wages
here to great extent eounterbalanees
the difference in wages paid, ;" and that
1.-The advance in wages of labor does
not. therefore, involve anything like a
corresponding advance in the cost of
labor Secretary Blaine demonstrated
this in his famous report on cotton
manufactures here and in England.
A manufacturer of clothing has just
given the labor cost in his industry at
43R per cent. The duty is 90 to IS per
cent. The average total labor cost in
manufacturers is less than half the
average duty.
The talk of the relation between
tariffs and the ''level of wages'' Is pure
humbug.-N. Y. World
