AS OTHERS SEE THEM.
From tbs Cheney Herald,

from ms Cheney herald,
L. S. Naftzger. the Republican candi-
date for probate judge, is a gentleman
in every sense of the term. Like the
rest of the ticket, he is liked by all with
whom he comes in contact. Being a
man of acknowledged ability, he will be
a worthy successor to Mr.. Buckner, the
present incumbent.
j. S. Carson is acknowledged to be one
of the leading educators Of this county,
therefore the wisdom of the Republican
party in nominating him for county
superintendent of schools. Being better
qualified to fill that position than his
opponent you should vote for Mr..
Carson.
Our candidate for commissioner, D. A.
Nickerson, is man whose character is
above reproach. He is now, aud always
has been, farmer, and by dint of hard
work and frugal living has been able to
lay up something for a rainy day. Care
full III his own business affairs, he will
make good, safe man to Handle the
county's business for the next two years.
Vote for Nickerson.
Senator Bentley is the man Sedgwick
county must have in the senate this win
ter, because Ed O'Bryan has promised to
vote with the Peoples party ON all i'm
portant questions. The maximum
freight bill will likely come up again,
and if it is like the one introduced in
the house two years ago, we want Bent
ley there to help kill it, because such a
law discriminates in favor Of the long
haul.
Mr.. Newt Bridgeman, candidate for
district clerk, is deserving man and
will run ahead of his ticket in the
county as well as in the city. Being a
man of the farm he will draw large
support from the farmers throughout
the county.
Colwich Courier.
Irwin Stratton, the pop-dem candidate
for probate judge and prohibitionists,
said to some friends that he left Indiana
because the community he was in were
all Dutch and Irish, Stratton evidently
thinks he is too good to associate with
Dutch and Irish. He isn't too good to
write up false statements about the "Col-
wich Drunk"

There seems to be hitch among the
Kiowas about signing the treaty for the
Kiowa aud ComAnche reservation. TIE
commission has left Fort Sill and taken up
quarters at Anadarko to confer with this
tribe especially We understand the head
men of the kiowas signed the treaty at
Fort SILL but as their people are raising
objections TO the terms OF the treaty, these
head men now say they did not fully
understand the terms at the time OF sign
ing. and general pow-wow is the result.
But as the Comanches, the most numer-
Gus tribe, have readily signed the treaty. it
is not probable the objections Of the
kiowas will cause any serious break in tho
transaction after once understanding the
terms The AoacIes will concur in what
the kiowas and Comanches decide =

Several bills introduced or in prospect in
the Creek council are of general interest to
the people of the Indian Territory. We
quote the following from the Eufaula
Journal:
An act directing that the chief appoint
two citizens to accompany the United
States surveyors in the survey of the Creek
and Seminole boundary line provided for
by the United States to See that the Creek
interests are properly protected.
A an act prohibiting the supreme and
district court judges from employing nom
citizens AS clerks with penalty of removal
from Office.
Numerous pasture bills have been con-
sidered Without result.
The matter of negro property rights was
referred to a joint committee. It's report
it is understood is rather lengthy and
urges the necessity Of the negro property
rights or privileges being separated and
curtailed.
1t is probable that the council will ap-
propriate a million or half million dollars
for per capita payment is generally
favored, but there is division as to the
amount.

excuse himself for not having done all
III his power to assist his old soldier con-
stituents to secure pensions; nor has any
other Republican congressman from
Kansas.
Commissioner Raum's reply is en-
phatic and needs no explanation. emo
such order has ever been issued by this
bureau or by the interior department. y
Could anything be palmer?
The probable truth Is that Jerry Simp-
son is too densely ignorant to know a
pension claim when he saw one. And
the order issued by Secretary Noble
made it necessary for congressman to go
and look up these matters themselves,
rather than loading them on to the de-
partment, and consequently Jerry s
ignorance excluded him. He did not
have the will to do SO in the first place,
and didn't know enough in the second
place. He is nothing but mouth.
Why any old soldier should sport a
man who thus wilfullv and knowingly
lied to avoid doing them favor we
cannot understand.

THE ANARCHIST, DID SAY IT.

The EAGLE few days since published
the statement of Mr.. Amos Hill of
Walnut, Kansas, who declared that he
and several others heard Jerry Simpson
say on the train at Erie, that the Dalton
boys were no worse than the national
bankers and than thousands of others in
Kansas who are engaged in pretended
lawful business, ect. The EAGLES de-
claration has been, and is being, vehe-
mently denied by Jerry's follows as well
as by the fusion bosses who have made a
dicker with him for the federal patron
age for the next two years. IL will be
remembered that tue EAGLE gave the
names of two other parties who heard
Simpsons declaration. One of these
gentlemen, Mr.. D. A. Rich and another
whom we did not name. write under
date Of October &c, from Chanute, as
follows:
son Oct. IS, 1892, while we were 60
ing down to Walnut, Kan, to work,
Mr.. Jerry Simpson, being on his way to
Pittsburg. Kan, to make speech, as
learned that day, while on the cars en-
tered into the subject of the Dalton rob-
berry and murder at Coffeyville when he
used the following language.
They, referring to the Dalton gang,
were no worse than the National bank
ers and thousands of others in Kansas
who are engaged in pretended lawful
pursuits while they are robbing the peo-
pie. They are to be no more condemned
for their acts than the bankers they
robbed"
Mr.. Rich concludes his letter by say
ing that the above is true and that it
seems very strange that such an express
sion would be INDUCED in by an Ameri-
can and representative in congress of
Kansans; that Simpson talked as if ad-
dressing fools or something worse and
that he, Mr.. Rich, fears that sure enough
the fools are not all dead yet.

THE SOCKLESS HYPOCRITE.

The Capital has it. and from a reliable
source, that Jerry Simpson has doubtless
been playing the broker in the pension
business to the tune of several thousand
dollars year, probably getting a per
cent of the fees paid by the old soldiers
living in bis own district. An attorney
named Legg, formerly of this state, now
located in Washington, is the party
through whom Jerry works his little
game upon deserving patriots. This
cheap attorney is supplied by Jerry
with list of the names, addresses and
particulars of the cases of all residents
of Kansas writing to him as congress
man to look after their pen
sions. This go-between tool thus
being supplied with the necessary data
puts himself in communication with
the applicant and when the pension is
allowed, and which allowance is only a
question of time-said attorney collects
the attorneys fees and doubtless divides
with this man Jerry WHO supplied the
information and who puts in his time
riding pneumatic tired bicycle up and
down Pennsylvania avenue and bowling
calamity on the floor of the house in
stead of attending to the wants of his
constituents. AS there are several
thousand Of these claims favorably
passed upon in the course of the year
for which from ten to twenty-five dollars
of attorneys fees are collected, it will be
seen that if Jerry got but "divvy" of
one dollar in each case he could well af-
ford to sail down to Harvey's big fash
ionable restaurant, as he is in the habit
of doing, and there dining on sea crabs,
shrimps, oysters and other delicacies be-
tween his sips of wine, the meanwhile
laughing in his sleeves over the way
with his sockless condition and calamity
walls he pulled the wool over the eyes of
fool fellows out on the Kansas prairies

SENATOR PEFFER's CLOTHES LINE

From the Fora Scott Monitor
Senator PETER Is credited with the re-
mark that ''the Democrats of Kansas
were simply the clothes rack OF the
Peoples party. That they were simply
holding the Peoples party clothes while
the Peoples party were fighting Repub-
licans." He said this in speech at Salina
last Tuesday evening.
He did not say whether the clothes
held were the old or the new clothes
whether it was the clean or the dirty
line that they hung up on the Demo.
cratic clothes line.
AS he did not qualify the use made of
Peoples party clothes it may well be
presumed that upon 1t is hung all kinds
of Peoples party garments. And we
congratulate the Peoples party on hav.
ing so good a ''clothes rack"
1t would seem, however. to a man up
a tree, that some Democrats iii
Kansas would not permit them
selves to he used for such purposes.
Yet we know of some who would "hew
wood, ''draw water" anything, Lord, y
to curry favor with these men of long
whiskers and of wild speech. Some of
them are near by. Does it not seem
humiliating that the party of jefferson.
Jackson and Tiiden has degenerated to
such uses2
And yet the language of PETER gives
exact expression to present situation in
Kansas. What other occupation the
Democratic voters in this state who are
supporting the populist ticket have, we
have been unable to ascertain. They
simply, meekly and quietly hold the
linen while these shouting calamityties
do their shouting.
It is q matter of sincere congratula-
ton that large number of Democrats
in Kansas spurn the job and will not
touch the unclean thing, who are manly
for principle.

ANARCHISTS.

A few of the thin skinned So called
Populites profess to be very indignant
at the charges of anarchistic tendencies
of that party and the open teachings of
its leaders in favor of revolution. The
exact language of many OF their speak
ers on that point has been quoted time
and again, and still the thin skinned
try to deny or explain away. State
Printer Snow is recognized authority
with that party, and stands in such high
favor in its councils that he was given
the best paying Office in the state by the
party's legislature less than two years
ago. Here is what Snow says in his
newspaper, the Ottawa journal, short
time ago. which is a hundred fold
stronger than any Republican paper or
speaker has ever charged that party or
any of its leaders with even entertain
ing:

This language needs no Interpretation.
1t is plain and emphatic and upon it an
action could be sustained on charge of
melting to rebellion and treason, and the
reason such action is not taken is
no doubt because of the confidence that
had in the patriotism and virtue
of the masses of the people and that they
will condemn and by their action
through the ballot box put an estopel to
the public career and utterances of those
who promulgate such doctrines.

THE ADVENTURES CAUGHT AGAIN

From the Meade Republican.
In his speech here and elsewhere in
the district Jerry Simpson gave as a
reason for not attending to the requests
of his old soldier constituents to obtain
the status of their claims, that he could
not do so. He said the commissioner of
pensions had issued a circular which
prevented congressman from access to
the pension department for this purpose.
He said. ''most likely the editor of the
Republican has received a copy of the
circular" We said we had not. And
j. NJ. Brannan, one of Jerry's follow
ers, said he had, Fully believing that
no such circular had been issued we
wrote the commissioner Of pensions to
ascertain the facts. The following,
which may be seen at this office by any
one. is the reply and is here published to
prove that Jerry Simpson wilfulIy lied
to excuse himself from attending to the
wants of these soldier constituents:

Kan
DEAR STR acknowledge receipt of
your valued letter of the 4th inst, in
which you stated that Sin a speech made
here last Saturday. Jerry Simpson stated
that you had issued circuler forbidding
congressman access 10 your department
to examine pension claims. lie gave
this as a reason for not attending 10 same.
Ii any such circular has been Issued, or
any from which such inference could be
drawn, please send me copy of same. !"
In reply, have to inform you that no
such order has ever been issued either by
this bureau or hy the interior depart
ment. l. Is true that during the last ses-
sion OF congress, the written applications
of members of congress to
this bureau became so numer-
Gus that it was found impracticable to
comply with their requests, and upon
submitting the matter to the honorable
secretary of the interior he issued IN
order relieving this Office from the per-
Torrance of this work. as it seriously
interferred with the settlement ard al
lowauce of claims: but this order was
not intended to interfere and did not
interfere with or prevent members of
congress from visiting the pension office
and examining the papers IN pension
claims. the fact Is thas during the last
session of congress there was probably
not working day in which scare or
more of senators and members d!l not
visit the Office and examine pension
claims with the yiey of communicating
with their coIsti .uents and informing
them OF the condition OF their claims.
| can bear witness TO the fact that q
number Of members of congress con-
sianily visited the office. frequently

correspondence from old soldiers.

vent Hon. Jerry Simpson from pursu-
ing tie same course If he saw I'll 10 do
