THE republicans of Kansas, like
those of Iowa, are in position where
they can neither turn around nor go
toward without estranging some fac
ton. With the women suffragists be-
labOring them on one side and the pro-
hibitionists on the other, the young
men of the party thoroughly dissatis-
fed with the manner in which they
have been denied recognition, and the
peoples party dragging into light at
every step fresh evidences of republican
ring methods. the future of the q. O. d.
in Kansas is not at all suggestive of
hope. Meanwhile, the re organized
democracy is gathering up the schreds
of power as they are dropped by the
other parties, and the outlook for a
confident, aggressive, though concilia-
tory fight becomes brighter every day.

Notice was brought to this Office for
publication to the effect that Mrs.
Anna Diggs would speak in various
places in the county next week, con
the leading issues of the day of a non
partisan nature" Mrs. Anna makes
the mistake of not stating that she
will talk on behalf of female suffrage,
as it is we'll known that such is her
business Had she so announced her.
self she would have got out to hear
her all the women who think their
men don't know enough to do the
voting; all the women who want to
wear the pants and the men who think
the women ought to, and all the re
publican politicians who hope by
favoring female suffrage they can
again get ccntroll of state affairs.
Mrs. Anna is a slick little politician
but we doubt her ability to make
much of strike in this county. The
dates of her meetings are: Claffin the
18th, Hoisington 18th, Pawnee Rock
18th, Dist. 40 the 10Th and Greai
Bend the 21st.

MIR. sEALEY's SUGGESTIONS.

Hon. r.. @. Mills, the distinguished
genator from the Lone Star State, is
IA receipt of the following telegraphic
lggestions from Mr.. George Sealey,
4 Galveston, Texas:
GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 12.-Hon
q @. Mills, Washington; Wlllyou as
list in ending the panic and distressed
condition of the country by suggest
lug to those higher in authority that
100000, 5O,OOO,O0O or 1O0,0OO,00C
silver dollars be paid out by the gov
ernment against clearinghouse certifi
Gates as security, being redeemable in
currency?
The certificates are as good as gold
being guaranteed by all the associated
banks. 1t is the duty of the govern
ment to relieve the existing distress
The government is now the Democrat
ic party. Future success of the party
depends upon present action. Tht
country can stand no delay. Silver
dollars, under existing conditions, viii
be acceptable to the people.
A starving community will gladly
accept cornbread temporarily, from
necessity, as a substitute for wheat
This will enable the government tt
place into circulation with the peopl,
millions of silver dollars which, up tt
this time, they would not take. If WI
are compelled to purchase currency a
from l to 8 per cent premium, it vii
work great hardship on the planters
as owners of cotton and other produces
will have to stand the cost.
Consult with Secretary Carlisle ant
if he has not the authority to do this
introduce a bill, if you agree with me
authorizing it and it will pass boil
houses with little debate, the necessit!
being so imperative.
GEORGE SEALEY.
Senator Mills was asked what b,
had done in regard to the suggestion
and said

,S- BLAcx-DRAUsH1 tea cure, Constipation.
The Violent Commotion

In the stomach and bowels produced
by violent purgatiVe and its conse-
.!uent drenching action, never are, be-
cause it is impossible they should be,
followed by permanent good effects.
No specific which weakens and con-
vulses the organs for whose relief it is
used can do good. Blue pills, calomel,
podyphyllin, salts and SIENNA, vegeta-
BILE or mineral purgative pills, are
drastic remedies generally void of
benefit. A reliable and effective sub
stitute for them is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which effects change
both natural and thorough in the
bowels when they are constipated. A
sufficient and regular secretion Of bile
by the liver and sound digestion are
also promoted by its use. Malaria in
I'll its forms, rheumatism and kidney
rouble are obviated by this fine re-
former of disordered conditions of the
system. A winegiassful three times a
day is about the dose.

SAD BUT TRUE.
The ofice-Seeking Horde Held at
Bay By The Presidents Firm
Decision.

No more appOintsments until after
the repeal of the Sherman law, seems
10 be the settled and irrevokable rule
ct the white House.
The President does not appear to
have laid this rule down in SO many
words, but it is logical deduction
rom his action. 1t is noteworthy
hat he has not sent nomination to
he senate. Members of Congress
Who have called upon him with ref
erence to changes in their local offices
say that they have met with a very
chilling reception.
The President in private CONVERSE
ton before the meeting of Congress
several times expressed his disgust
that members of the two houses came
to him to talk of nothing but patron
age when the fate of the nation was
hanging in the balance.
NECESSITY OF THE HOUR.
He has felt long time that the re-
peal of the purchase law was the su-
preme necessity of the hour and that
party politics should be thrust into
the background to promote the un-
ion of all patriotic men in favor of re-
forming the currency.
He is giving a practical illustration
of his belief by refusing to dicker
over appointments while the financial
issue is supreme. An Assistant Sec
retary of Agricultural an Assistant At
torney General, an Assistant Register
of the Treasury, a Director of the
Mint, and two-thirds of the places in
the consular service have yet to be
given to Democrats, and many of the
places have been vacant for months.
More important still to the average
/ Member of Congress are the local
offices, the collectors of internal rev.
enue, the district attorneys, the mar
ehals, and the collectors of customs,
nearly all of whom are still Repub-
( licans.
KEEPING THEM IN SUSPENSE.
The President is quite willing that
members who desire recognition in
the way OF these appointments shall
be kept in suspense until they have
voted on the Sherman law, but he
looks at the matter from the higher
point of view, that they should per-
form their duty to the country before
they expect the President to perform
a duty or a favor for them and their
constituents. 1t is doubtful if a sin
gle nomination, except in cases OF
special emergency, goes to the Senate
until the repeating hill reaches the
White House.
The President substantially made
up his mind to this when he called
the extra session. He has given re-
cess appointments in few cases
where change was demanded for
the good of the service or where va
cancies needed to be filled, but there
will be no distribution of "plums,'
from the spoilsman's point of view,
until Congress acts on the silver pur,
chase laW.-Wa Washington Post.
