"is nothing more nor less than rob-
b,ry." Now it cannot be claimed
that our mortgage system OF rob
berry" is the result Of ignorance.
It's iniquity has beer pointed out
for years, and at the state Republic
an convention held in 1890, the
following plank was adopted;
The next Legislature should SO
amend the law relating to forecios-
ure and sale of real estate, under
mortgage contract, as shall secure
to the mortgagor the privilege OF
redeeming such real estate at any
time within twelve months from
date of such foreclosure sale, by
the payment of the judgment and
of legal interest from the date OF
sale to date of redemption.
What led the convention to adopt
that plank? and why did the Repub-
lican senate fail to carry out this
Republican pledge? are questions
that Republicans alone can answer.
We can only conjecture that the
uprising of the people led to the
adoption of the plank in the hope
it would stay the exodus; for the
men who formulated that plank
were largely the men who assisted
in erecting our mortgage system.
The failure of the Republican senate
to cooperate with the Peoples's
party house in passing a law in
line with this Republican pledge,
in opposition to the pledge, it is
also conjectured, was owing to the
fact that the senate was ruled by
the loan companies. The charge OF
insincerity is the mildest charge
that can be made, under the circum-
stances, but there is room, without
being uncharitable, for the graver
charge, that Republican politicians
are in league, or are part OF this
and other systems not much better
Certain it is that the system com
planned of grew up under Republic
an rule; certain, too, that Republic
ans must plead guilty to either the
charge of stupidity, or criminal
negligence, whereby hundreds OF
thousands of dollars have beer
swept out of the hands of weak
producers, into the hands OF the
strong non-producing robber.

party of claw and order" but it
is rapidly degenerating. Many of
it's members have violated the liquor
laws, and it is the party, and the
only party in Kansas, that has
burned people in effigy, and threat
ened violence to other parties; also
a part of the Republican party can
not escape the charge that Sam
Woods murder was political MUIR
der. Now as to the power to pay
debt increasing, we nave this to
say: That the power to pay debt,
lies only in the power of increased
production; and producers are not
indebted to the Republican party
for this power. Increased produc-
ton is the result of the intelligence
of the producer, and of the inven-
ton Of labor-saving machinery.
But while paying power has thus
been increased, its force has been
diminished in the final balancing Of
accounts, by contracted currency,
by railroad exaction, and by combi-
nations. This fact is clearly shown
in the many failures of business
men, and in foreclosure OF mort
cages The producer has, under
Republican misrule, been shorn of
the power he created. Now as to
the Republican party defending the
good name of Kansas, it may be
asked, what is the good name of
Kansas? 1t will be admitted that
the people are at least a part of
Kansas, and the Republican party,
in it's journals and politicians, has
basely and maliciously slandered a
very large and respectable portion
of Kansas people. Democrats,
Peoples party men, Prohibitionists,
or Greenbackers, have never been
fairly represented, either as to men
or principles; and in slandering a
part of the people, the good name
of Kansas, as a whole, was lowered.
1t seems to have escaped the observ-
alton of the average Republican
journalist, in Kansas, that the Re-
publican party is not all of Kansas,
by any means; it is even a question
if it ia even half Of Kansas at the
present time. If the Capital means
to convey to it's readers the impress
sion that other parties are repudiat-
ors of debt, it simply lies. Nc
charge can be substantiated that
alleges that the Peoples, Democrat,
Prohibition, or Greenback party,
believes in any but the good, old
fashioned way of paying debt
The Peoples party does not deny
that it does not believe in over-pay'
ing a debt, but refusing to pay a
debt, and refusing to Over-pay a
debt, are entirely two different
th;nrs Even the Capital admits

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 20.-Ed. Cole
man, strapping brunette of about
thirty years Of age, who has beou
working the hotel directory fake in
Lincoln and owns a half interest in
the business OF advertising in the
street railway cars, is peeping discon-
tendly behind the bars OF the city jail,
Ed formally lived in LeavenwOrth
Kas,, and travelled around considera-
bly, on his advertising fake, returning
home occasionally to renew acquain-
with his wife. But when he came to
Lincoln five months since and quit
writing home, his wife became alarmed
and set detectives to work to hunt him
up. She found him in this city but
he did not receive her cordially. Re-
Gently she learned that there was
another woman in the case. About a
week ago she came quietly to Lincoln
with her nine months old babe,
quietly took up quarters in the Grand
hotel and set the city sleuth hounds at
work, TO the end that at O'Clock last
evening the truant spouse was arrested
at Twelfth and 0 stneets and lodged
in Jail to answer to charge OF adultery
preferred by his wife. She claims
that lie has been dividing his atten-
tons between Mrs. Better and Il
Mrs. Craig, one or both of whom can
be found in this city. Frank Ferris,
Coleman's partner in this city, says
that Mrs. Coleman bears a good name
in Leavenworth and has some means.
Coleman says that his wife is des-
perate woman and is trying TO break
up his business; that she harbored a
man named Burns at her home, claim
ing that he was nephew of her first
husband, and drove her husband out.
He says he doesn't know any such
woman as Mrs. Better and that while
he knows Mrs. Craig, he knows moth
ing wrong of her.
