DIR. Abbott a Reformer.

The Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott
was the principal speaker at the
meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa
alumni meeting a few nights since
in New York. His subject was
'Scme Aspects of tie Industrial
Problem"
Among other things DR.. Abbott
said:---"Socially and politically we
are democratic community bat
an aristocratic community fnanci-
ally and industriatly. I believe the
end will be to establish an indus
trial democracy. Among other
things this will mean that taxes
will not be regulated by expendi-
lures, but upon incomes and pos
sessions. The government will un-
dertake those common industrial
powers that can be carried on by
the public for the public at a bet,
ter advantage than could be done
for the public by individuals.
National resources belong by
right to the people. Why should
they be concentrated in the hands
of a few? Democracy is putting its
finger. on the railroads.; whether
more than a finger will be laid on
depends on how the railroads are
managed in the future.

Senator German Makes a Speech.

NJ. G..Ellzey, in NATL Waterman.
Senator German came direct
from the national Democratic com
mittee rooms to make a speech at
his Maryland home. He said a
few notible things, and pretty near
" demolished the Chicago plat
form: Concerning the State bank,

those things, which in the confu-

A Review and Encouragement for the
Future.

The election is over and we
can now settle down to sound
reasoning of principles, relieved
of the necessity of defending the
private character of individual
leaders of the Peoples party.
In the recent campaign SLAM
der and ridicule have taken the
place If argument, while for
sound reasoning, bragadocio and
bombast have filled the mouth of
the big orator.
The little country editors have
taken up their space commenting
on the personal character of high
toned christian gentlemen, and
have in some instances taught
their weak-minded readers to-
say in public places of broad
minded honest men, that they are
contemplate Lengthy articles
have been written and big speech
es delivered containing but gilt
tering generalities and empty
platitudes, with never an idea
expressed of true reasoning. In
a word the great campaign of ed
ucation has been carried on with
out ever teaching anybody any
thing of true governmental poll
cy. The issues have been sell
dom defined and less often
touched upon by those who at
tempted to discuss. The party
success has been the effort of the
party orator while questions OF
grave importance have boon rel
egated to the rear. With these
Misrepresentation continuously
dinned into the ears of the peo-
pie by well organized press and
a hundred orators for months
past, it is no wonder that many a
man has forgotten his true inter-
est and voted for a continu alton
of present conditions. Then since,
some have been bulldozed and
intimated and misled into voting
against reform, what is now the
duty of the patriot? But one an
swer can be made-the one made
by John G. Calhoun, when he
said "principle is eternal" The
man who is in earnest is unsha-
ken by hundred defeats. The
principles which were contended
for by kossuth or O'Connell or
even our own Patrick Henry,
were not obtained in day. The
reformation was not accomplished
till crowns were threatened and
thrones were lettering, and the
Christian religion after nearly two
thousand years spent in battling
against the devil, has notgotten
deep enough INTO the hearts of
some people to keep them from
thinking it no harm to tell cam
paign lie. But constitutional lib
erty is now guaranteed, liberty
OF conscience granted and Chris
tlanity must continue to spread.
We have an abiding faith in the
final triumph ofright. Our griev-
ances are as firmly founded on
justice as those of ded martyrs of
the past, and as surely to win.

Cannot Deliver the Goods.

The three political parties of Fort
county have now had their convention:
: and the campaign will soon begin in ear
nest. The democrats and peoples par.
ties have united, but the republican or
ganization stands alone and strictly per-
pendicular. When peoples party lead
ers first began to arrange for fusion in
this county, it seemed as though the sue
cess of the scheme would insure to the
managers the -spoils of office for this oc-
casion, but now that amalgamation is an
accomplished fact it looks as though they
would find themselves in the predicament
of the dog who in crossing stream of
water with chunk of meat in his mouth
saw the reflection in the water and think
ing to secure a second mOrsel dived after
that. only to find after he had lost the
substance the shadow had eluded his
greedy grasp, and he was lift with moth
ing. Those peoples party leaders who
have abandoned their principles by bar

the offices now find themselves to be lead
ers without followers and generals with
out an army at their backs. They hire
commodious opera houses, spare no
trouble or expense for advertising, and
then speak in brilliantly lighted halls to
empty benches and few people attract
ed by curiosity. So long as they kept in
the middle of the road their followers
were enthusiastic aud determined; they
felt bound by the action of conventions.
But now that democrats have nominated
peoples party men and peoples party
leaders propose to put democrats on their
tickets, party ties do not bind as former
ly upon the rank and file of either organ
ization. Free and enlightened people do
not exactly fancy the idea of being bar
gained away like flock of sheep that
manipulators may enjoy the offices.
Many mutterings Of discomfort may al
ready be heard among straight ont men,

ic faith. while quite considerable num-

or two in advance of the main show.
The commodious hall, capable of holding
thousands of people, was brilliantly
lighted. The speaker of the occasion.
accompanied by B. F. Milton. took the
platform and faced an audience of eigh-
ty-two persons-men, women and chill
dren. About one dozen of this cumber-
some multitude were actual farmers,
something like fifty were republicans,
while the remainder were mostly eX-
democrats. The representative of the
Golden club of England was there to see
that free trade was not ignored.
Mr.. Lands commenced with an apollo
gy for the preamble in the peoples par
ty platform with reference to the awful
predicament in which some parties con-
sidered it pictured the people of the
| United States. He said a lie in the pre-
| amble of platform was not of much
| consequence. His rich cOntraltO voice
did not fill the hall very well, so the
scribe could not from what the speaker
said fully understand why lie in the
preamble of the national platform of
| great reform party was not much damage
to the subject matter therein contained.
| OF course such lie as this would natur-
ally be some damage to an article guar
anteed to be strictly pure. all wool and
yard wide, but we will admit for the
sake of peace and harmony that a reform
platform intended to deceive the people
for their own good, might be all the bet
ter for d lie or two in the Introductory
preamble.
Then he tackled the tariff, and talked
against protecting American industries
until the English gentleman who sat i'm
mediately in front of him, and is at pres
ent acting as chairman of the Ford cOun
ty peoples party central committee.
stamped his feet in reckless abandon of
tumultuous applause. lie even went so
far as to advise tax on farm lands by
the general government, same as they
have over in Ireland, so foreign manufac-
turers need not be pestered with even a
tariff for revenue only" The fact is
Mr.. Lands deserves medal from the
Golden club as reward for the most ul-
ira free trade argument ever made in
western Kansas, and is certainly entitled
to an especial appropriation from that
society's political expense fund to help
carry his senatorial district this fail.
The remainder of his address was vague,
visionary and long drawn out. In fact.
so much of it was rather tedions and mo-
notonous that a number in the audience
got sleepy and quietly withdrew. The
speaker may be a worthy gentleman. for
aught we know, but his position on levy
ing tribute on lands to take the place of
duties on imports certainly units him to
represent an agricultural constituency.

The Black Bogey.

After committing exceptionally afro
ciOus murders, even case-hardened viii
lains are sometimes tormented Dy visions
of CHASTITY phantOms and horrible appa-
ritiOns. The peoples party manipulators
have likewise begun to be disturbed by
dire and heartrending visions as a result
of the unholy and impious miscegenation
which they have accomplished between
the democratic and peoples parties. That
which would otherwise attract no more
than passing notice last week assumed
the grisly aspect of big black DOGGY.
1t was the arrival in Dodge City. on a
west bound Santa Fee train, of a party of
cOlored ''men and brethren" No sooner
had the train halted and the men disem-
barked than peoples party leaders, with
fear-d distorted faces, began to rush
through the streets and proclaim that the
Santa Fee was shipping in darkeys to car
nv the election. In their terror stricken
hearts they could think of nothing else
than politics in connection with this quiet
and unassuming company of men, and
their organ, the Times. came out with a
cry of alarm that was truly pitiful.
White strangers who came seeking
work in our ripening harvest fields a few
weeks ago, and even those Mexican la
borers whose arrival was in like manner
to these colored men, had no such terri

has been progressing from east to west
almost uninterruptedly for years. The
''steel gang has been operating in Ford
county for several months. hiring all the
men they could get at premium over
section hand wages. Many of our own
farmers have thus found remunerative
employment at times when crops did not
need their attention. But when harvest
commenced they quit the railroad work
and went forth in the fields to save the
golden grain. leaving the company to
find men the best it might. Even section
hands caught the contagion for harvest
ing and left their bosses alone to walk
the track in quest of broken rails and
washouts. Traffic and travel over this
great transcontinental highway was
greater than ever before in its history.
Wages were raised to a higher price than
has ever been known for such work. |
Boys hardly able to handle shovel, to
say nothing of steel rails, were taken on
and tried in vain.
Business over the line showed no sign |
of abatement and the great Worlds fair
coming next year made it still more nee
essary that track and roadbed be in per-
feet condition. Therefore laborers were |

Peoples Party Meeting

For some time past the peoples party
organ of this city has been advertising a
meeting to be held at McCarty's opera
house, in Dodge City, with Lands as
the attraction. They had rented the old
skating rink opera house because it was
feared kelly's would not hold the crowd.

One of our honest and sincere farmer
friends called this week to secure infor-
nation concerning the reason cOmpa-
MES of cOlOred men have in many cases
been transported free of cost from their
homes to other parts by the various rail
roads. Elsewhere we have fully ex-
planned the matter so far as it relates to
this particular region, and doubtless
careful investigation in other instances
would bring to light equally legitimate
causes. In connection with this matter
we wish to say the frequent lynching of
colored men accused of crimes and Of
fences account for the tendency of those
people to be more than usually migra-
tory this year. While the difficulty to
secure farm hands to save the unusually
heavy harvest Of wheat in some parts of
the country have caused transportation
companies to adopt more liberal poll
cy than usual toward those wishing to
seek employment away from home.
Railroad companies may not be too good
to use improper methods IN politics, but
they are too shTewd to COLOMBO voters
simply for political purposes, as it would
surely become known aud cause a very
disastrous reaction of public sentiment
against them among the people, thereby
defeating the very object sought. We
do not, therefore take very much stock
in these sensational political rumors.
