A PARTY THAT MOVES FORWARD.

Kansas City Gazette: The Republican
party is the party of human progress
and human rights. 1t boasts of no ira
ditions. 1t has no followers, for all are
leaders. 1t has given the world the best
government ever administered among
men. 1t has exalted labor, dignified the
home and made the waste places pro-
duce plenty. In the track of its marches
are seen million factories, surrounded
by happy and prosperous agricultural
communities. 1t Is the party of honest
money and fair equivalents. 1t permits
its citizens to be free and contends for
equal advantages before the law for all
men. 1t declares to the children of the
rich and the children of the poor that
the child of any American citizen can
achieve anything possible in this great
country

A CaIsdid Opinion.

General W. W. Guthrie was inter-
viewed by the Kansas City Gazette on
Monday, and that paper reports that he
said: II believe that the large majority
of Democrats in Kansas will not vote
this year, or if they do many Will vote
the Republican ticket. They are not
satisfied with the fusion idea and there
is no doubt but that they understand
that the Peoples party will dictate TO
them in the future If the latter succeed,
both in the state and at Washington.

questionably expresses the sentiments of
about every Democrat in the countr7,
though they haven't the hardhood to
express them except in the south where
the new party, as political organization

Commercial says:
We do not profess to believe that the

gree OF wisdom and of StateSmanship We
confess that we have been disappointed IN
ITS record, though we ceased To have any
very bright antIcipatious when the house
was so organized As to p0J its light
weights in the front and Danish its tried

blame for this state OF things, however
lies chiefly with the Alliance Democrats in

PRovoKINGLY PROSPEROUS.

The New York Herald, true to its in
stincts, desires the defeat of the Repub-
licans, but looking facts squarely in the
face it is bound to confess the prosperity
Of the country under the wise admins
tration of President Harrison and the
operations of the Mckinley law. No
wonder it is provoking" to such organs
as the Herald, which says:
''The business of the country is in a
provokingly healthy and fiourishing con-
dition. Imports during the fiscal year
ending June 80 were greater than those
Of any former year, amounting to 1898,
600, 900, while exports also exceeded the
highest record and reached the enor-
nous aggregate of S1,027 100000. Rail
road earnings for the first six months of
the year are greater than those for any
similar period in history, and the
output of manufactures has been
greater than ever before Bust
ness failures for the first half of
the present year have been one thousand
fewer in number and forty million dol
lars less in gross liabilities than they
were during the corresponding period of
1891. New industrial enterprises for
manufacturing iron, cotton and wooden
fabrics are going into operation in vari-
Gus sections, and willie the margin of
profits is small, business is on solid
foundation, and the outlook in every
direction is hopeful and encouraging.
The grain crop is promising, money is
abundant, and collections are easy. In
the face of such condition of things the
calamity howeler must remain silent.
His bowling will scare nobody, not even
himself, for he is too smart not to realize
that the country is in marvelously
prosperous condition and likely to re-
main so.

true to Kansas and ought to have a
modifying effect upon the politically

The Atchison Champion wonders why
it is that when man gets the trichina
and becomes an opposition orator the
burden of his song is abuse of Kansas.
4 fellow from Kansas named Scott, is
down in Tennessee telling of ''the woes
of bloody, bleeding Kansas" The
Champion wonders why he didn't tell
the truth. We quote from the Cham
pion:
A Kansas man in Tennessee talking
about bleeding Kansas" Why didn't
Mr.. Scott tell his Nashville interviewer
that Kansas had made more material,
mental and moral growth in twenty years
than Tennessee has made in a century?
Why didn't he tell them that the church
and school property and public libraries in
two congressional districts in Kansas, cost
more money than all the libraries,
churches and schools in all TENNESSEE?
Why didn't he tell them that Kansas has
invested more money in school houses,
school libraries and teachers wages since
1S65 than Tennessee has expended for the
like purpose in a hundred years?

ON TO THE GULF.

All the railway systems in the west
have >an eye set upon some gulf port as
a southern terminus and an outlet for
eastern and Transatlantic commerce.
The Rock Island will, as soon as the heat
ed term is over, resume work on its eX-
tension to the south, with a view of
reaching the gulf before midwinter.
The line has been extended in the Indian
Territory during the past six months,
and the southern termin0uS is now at
the Red river in northern Texas, about
midway between the Santa Fe's line and
Fort Sill. One of the engineers, in talk
ing about the extension, said that the
corps of engineers had only been given
a vacation during the hot weather, and
that they would go TO work again in a
few weeks. The Rock Island does not
propose to be outdone by other lines,
and will in short time reach the gulf
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas will
at once build the gap in the Texas line
from Smithvllle to LockharU, thirty-six
miles, and the extension from Doggy
Tank to Houston, eighty miles. This
work will be carried out and completed
during the present year, and the st.
Louis extension from Franklin, Mo-,
will be completed during the year, 1t is
expected by the management that trains
will be opeIated-freight and passenger
through from st, Louis and Kansas
Clty to Houston bv Jan. 1, 1898. over the
companys own main line.
Both of these extensions will give
Wichita as many additional direct lines
to tide water on the gulf, the benefits of
which in the matter of freight rates will
be next to incalculable.
