THE KANSAS CITY TIMES" SHOULD BE
A LITTLE MORE FAIR.

A LITTLE 4OkE FAlks
The Kansas City Times in it's issue
of April 10Th comments on some
things THE ADVOCATE said, and sew
eral things it did not say relative to
the attitude which western Democrats
might consistently assume toward the
Peoples party this year, in view of
the fact that the present Democratic
house Of representatives has demon
strated the utter hopelessness Of OBJ
tanning needed Legislation from the
controlling element of that party.
We only wish to refer to this editorial
reference to THE ADVOCATE for the
purpose Of making two observations.
First-It would be much more far
and satisfactory in criticising the po-
sitionof another journal to permit that
journal to define its own position, and
not undertake to hold il responsible
for things it has not said.
Second-The Times will find The
ADVOCATE will go farther upon the tar
if question than il dsres to go. The
whole tariff system is q fraud and
should be abolished altogether. 1t is
the most vicious kind of class favorit-
ism, taxing one class of American
citizens to enrich another.
Notwithstanding this fact, in our
present condition, financial legisla-
tion of the right character will afford
more and greater relief to every in
dustrisl pursuit and every legitimate
business interest than any tariff tink-
ering that could possibly be hoped
for. What we distinctly object to is
the disposition to ignore other issues
and divert attention from them by
the everlasting cry Of protection or
tariff reform by the old parties, with
a difference between them of less than
S per cent. When we do under
take to reform the tariff let us make
a finish Of it andSsplace every Ameri-
can citizen upon an equal footing in
the pursuit Of fortune.

shall so continue. The partisan press
has taken advantage of the opportunity
and has advertised the state lecturer as
using his official position TO further his
political aspirations. Allow me to state
that any officer of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union found guilty of the
above charge, should at once be removed
from his present position.
The lecturers duty is Of such chsrac-
ter that he is privileged to meet the
most enthusiastic people In the cause OF
reform. 1t often occurs that several &C
counts Of the same meeting are sent to
our state papers, some Of which, in the
last month, have been very personal. /
have requested the editor of THE ADvo-
CATE to modify them, but he stated they
were regular correspondence, and,
therefore, not subject TO revision. In
view of the above facts, ! hope the
friends viii desist from personalities as
far as possible In their account Of meet
ings. AS to the result Of the grand con-
ference of June 10, 1892, the people will
be there; personal preference will come
to nsught; Kansas will choose her
standard bearers, who will never allow
the banner of reform to trail In the dust,
and will lead US on to victory. Yours
for the cause, s. M. SCoTT,
State Lecturer.

THE ISSUE WILL BE, RESTORE THE
CREDIT OF KANSAS,

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
The Hon, E. N. Morrill, Is reported to
have laid down the Issue as above in his
speech at the reciprocity rally in the
Sixth congressional district. Who and
what has impaired the credit of KansasH

In the Clay Center Dispatch of

space would permit. It shows that

party house. Not measure was pend
ing that in any manner looked to repudi-
alton or scaling down Of debts; not law
that In it's terms or intent disturbed the
relations of creditor and debtor as APP
piled to existing contracts. The house
we'll understood that obligations Of con-
tracts could not be impaired and stand
the racket of the courts.
The interest law, or law to tax evil
dences debt, did not affect an eastern
loan.
The credit of Kansas was impaired by
the false howl Of daily and unfrlendly
newspaper, and the local loan agents.
The,latteF saw their occupation was 60
ing, They had guaranteed interest in
some instances on their loans. The IN
terest payment was In default. They
could not meet 1t, Then they charged
1t up to the Alliance legislature,
Money in the hands of capitalists is
timld. Senator PETER was vehemently
assalled for telling the tale out Of school
that Kansas had mortgage debt Of $3.50
100000. But when the census expert
came out under penal lao to tabulate
the private mortgage indebtedness of
the people, the Republicans found
they had caught tarstr, and when this
disclosure made 1t fully $l45,O00,000,
these Republicans began to hedge by
showing falsely the fabulous amount Of
this class Of indebtedness was being
paid off 80 rapidly that eastern capital
began to write letters and inquire as to
what the character of that pending legiS-
lstlon was
Capital was justly alarmed when the
official statement Of mortgage indebted
ness was published. They said; "The
people OF Kansas are bankrupt. Like
the Argentine Republic, they have no
more security to offer. If they do offer
1t, there are so many mortgages being
foreClosed, ETC., that l will withdraw my
capital from Kansas" A gentleman
from New York told the writer in Ottawa
six months after the legislature ad-
journed, that eastern loaners are begin
ming to learn that the credit of Kansas
was injured more by daily newspapers
and lmprudent local loan agents than by
the Alliance legislature. This opinion
is becoming general In the east. So let
Mr.. Morrill, point out and bring forward
the acts that have impaired the credit Of
Kansas, and let us reason together. 1t
was one Of the methods resorted to to
kill of the Peoples party-howl them
down-but they did not 60 down, but
stand out as the first party in numbers
In the state. Another method Is to tell
our members that they have done irrepar-
able injury to the very men they pretend
TO befrlend. ~ want to renew my loan
and can't do 80 on account Of the un-
friendly attitude of the Alliance"
told him heard forty years ago that all
the speeches and pamphlets made and
sent out against slavery, only bound the
slaves chains tighter. The shareholders
were tightening up the laws and punish
ments. So the money power is repeat
ing history. "You can't renew your note,
borrow any money or extend you mort
gage while this Messiah craze of the AL
lance Is In possession Of Kansas" So
the corporations and money power said

THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
UNALTERARLY OPPOSED TO FUSION.


THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
UNALTERABLY OPPOSED TO FUSION.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATES:
Within the last thirty days l have re-
celved so many letters lnqulring about
fusion with one Of the old parties that /
am compelled to make this statement to
the public. These inquiries have all
grown out Of the reports that the old
party press have been sending over the
country, They are all pure fabrlcatlons
without single word Of truth in them.
Mr.. Fish, of Minnesota, writes: "That fu-
sion matter Is the rankest kind of q fraud,
a lie OF the deepest dye" The same re-
port comes from Kansas, Nebraska and
the Dakotas.
The following Is a resolution offered
by Mr.. Washburne, at a session of the
executive committee at st. Louis, June,
1891, which was unanimously adopted, and
will show how the committee stands on
this question, and what fusion advocates
may expect from us:
Resolved, That the national executive
committee is unalterably opposed to fusion
with any other political party, and will not
recognize any individual, committee or or
ganization that proposes or enters into such
fusion, as affiliated with the Peoples party.
Fusion means confusion, and will
lead to nothing else. We want all the
votes we can get We want every Demo
crat and Republican to come with US,
and we would like to have every office
within the gift Of the people, but we
can't afford to secure either votes or
Office by bartering away our principles.
The very moment we use them as trad
ing stock and peddle them around to the
highest bidder, to secure an office, we
will sink into oblivion, and we ought to.
There is but one thing for US to do
"Keep in the middle Of the road" hoist
the black flag and neither give nor &C.
cept any quarter. Anyone who expects
any Of the old parties to give us any f.
nsncial reforms by fusion, in my opinion
Is mental deformity.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION

The election of a superintendent and
teachers is now pending before the
board of directors Of the Fairhaven dis
trict. Fairhaven is noted for its bright
children and the enterprising spirit of
its people, Its public schools ought to
be at the very front in the state. Sc
attic and Tacoma have men of great
force and fine culture at the head of
their schools. Their superintendent
are men who are leaders in their re-
spective cities, men of energy, men Of
individuality, and as a consequence
the teachers and pupils have attained a
deserved prominence in the educa-
tional associations of the state.
The patrons of the public schools in
Fairhaven are entitled to the very best
talent and most competent services
obtainabie in superintendent, for the
compensation that can be paid in
the district. The taxpayers pay their
school taxes freely, but they want first
class material at the head and in the
control of the schools. 1t is hoped that
the board of directors will canvass
thoroughly every applicant for the
place and settle on someone having the
highest standard in qualification and
fitness for its duties. Sentiment in the
selection of a proper person ought not
for an instant to weigh against fitness
and high attainments for the position.
The HERALD has little knowledge of
the applicants, and has no axe TO grind
In the election. It's interest in the cleo
ton springs only from its interest in
the welfare Of the children and youth
of the city. Give the bright children
Of the district the benefit OF a superin-
tendent having some snap, some pride
In his profession, a full knowledge of
the branches to be taught, and thorough
capacity to impart to others the knowl-
edge he has. This the people certainly
have right to expect, and look TO the
board for determination of this ques-
ton so rs to reflect honor on the board
and the highest benefit upon the
district. With such determination
they will rise up and thank the board.
Any other determination ought to
carry with 1t its own condemnation.

The testimony Of the late Sir John
A. Macdonald concerning the work
fngs Of the tariff is conclusive in prov
ing that If the tariff is a tax it is paid,
not by Americans, but by those who
ship their goods to the United States.
The Canadian premier said:
1t is a tax, and I'll prove 1t to you in A
sentence. Suppose had 1,OOl bushels of
barley on this (the Canadian) side which
l desire to sell in the United States.
Under present law In America | must
pay 10 cents per bushel, or $50 in all
upon my 1000 bushels, before am per
mitted to cross the line with my barley.
and when | do cross the line with It how
mach do | get for IL? Why, I get the
American price, the same that barley Is
selling for over there. don't add TO that
price the IS cents per bushel that paid
In at the customs house. Therefore. "the
tariff Is tax" but unfortunately IL is a
tax upon our people who ship their pro-
duce to the United States.

Crop reports collected by the New
York Times confirm previous impress
sions as to the two great staples of ex-
port. Instructed by the rulnously low
low prices of last year, the result of
worldwide over-production, growers Of
cotton have restricted their acreage.
devoting part Of their fields to corn.
On the other hand, farmers in the
spring wheat region Of the Northwest,
encouraged by the accidental high
prices of last year, have increased their
acreage of wheat from 10 to 40 per cent.
In different states. II is not unlikely
that the conditions will be in a meas.
ure reversed this year and that the
wheat growers will experience a radical
drop In prices while the cotton growers
will have another inning and score
well.

Yet another ingenious and important
adaptation of electricity is device for
making it ring the chimes on church
bells. This seems so reasonable an in
vention that the wonder is nobody
thought of it sooner. However, g. F.
Atwood, Of Orange. N. j., appears to be
the first man who has made the idea
practicable. Put into words, which do
not tell 1.-THE of the trouble it has cost
Mr. Atwood, he has attached electrical
wires to the various bells which ring the
chimes. The other ends of the wires are
attached to keyboard similar to that of
a piano or organ. The player sits quietly
down to this keyboard, which is fixed
near the church organ, and plays the air
to be rung out by the chimes. Each
touch upon the keys completes the cur
rent which acts on the bells, and up in
the church tower they ring the air the
organist plays upon the keys hundred
feet below. A photographic attach
ment enables the player to hear the bells
playing, 30 that he can give the express
sion he wishes to the music.

A floating bottle containing a note
has made record as a globe girdler fit
to go along with that of George Francis
Train, and did not make half the fuss
about it. j. S. Hoffman, at sea off Cape
Cod, threw into the water a bottle con-
tanning note requesting the finder of
the bottle to communicate with him.
This happened June ID, 1885, The bot
tie drifted eastward and eastward over
the ocean till at last, June %, 1890, two
years and fourteen days afterward, it
was picked off the coast of New South
Wales, Australia. The finder was Mr..
James Jonathan Clafworthy, of Port
Talbot, and he Immediately wrote a
note announcing the fact to Mr.. Hoff-
man, who in due course Of time re-
ceived the letter at New Orleans. after
1t had travelled after him through three
postofices. II is difficult for even a
bottle to be lost in our enlightened age.

Progress of the Country Town.

An eastern man travelling westward
had occasion not long since to stop over
night in Springfield, o. Springfield has
a population not far from 1000. TO the
man who thinks there is no city in this
country but New York, Chicago or Bos-
ton as the case may be, Springfield is of
course a mere rustic village. The stranger
stepped into the street from his hotel in
the evening. What he did or did not
expect TO see he does not say. But what
he did see was city as brilliantly
lighted as the finest streets of New York
itself. An "opera house" so called, was
near by. He entered and found it as
elegant and splendidly appointed as
many of the best eastern theaters. One
of the most popular plays of the win
ter in New York was at that time
being performed upon its boards in
manner which would have been credit
able to the theaters in New York.
The eastern man opened wide his eyes
in establishment. How much had New
York to offer in the way of city advan-
tages that this country town out in Ohio
did not possess? He has not answered
the question satisfactorily to himself
yet.
Springfield is only type of the grand
young towns throughout the country
While New York was fighting over the
bill for electric street cars many small !
cities had already for years possessed a |
splendid system of rapid transit of this
kind. Being newly laid out, their streets /
are not narrow, crooked and dingy, like |
the older thoroughfares of eastern cities, /
but are broad, clean and beautiful. /
Every such town has its free public 4
library. Where are there such in the
older cities?
Invention and modern progress have
steadily pressed forward to the aid of
the country town. Village improve
ment societies are making it a 10y
forever. Roads are becoming solid
and beautiful, noble trees line the
streets of the country town, tiny parks
in front of every dooryard are bril-
liant with flowers. In many village
streets there is not so much as a scrap
Of paper to be found. Electric lights
make the night of the village as brilliant
As that Of the great city Fruits and
all come to the market with
The fresh flavor on them. In towns of a
few thousand inhabitants water works
supply pure water in abundance. Ere
ong there will be electric lights in pri-
rate houses.
Each town has its own tasteful and
irtistic "opera house." Some of these
village public halls are gems of beauty.
Here the great lecture, the concert, the
popular play are given exactly as they
ire in the city. The public schools are
better than they are in the big city, for
hey are out or politics. Modern inven-
ion has made the city yield up its treas
ires to the country, and cooperation,
is the magic that has
wrought it all. The village has the ad-
'antages of the city, and pure air, blue
ky and green trees besides.

After the public lands in the west
have all been taken up by the boomers
