The 10Th Of September has beer

before the committee Of Congress or
the sugar and rice interests. 1t viii
then be decided whether the duty or
rice and sugar will be dropped Oh
whether reasonable duty will be
adopted and made part of the tariff
scheme. If the duty is entirely
dropped, foreign sugar will come in
and sell at such low price that il
will be almost impossible for oul
planters to produce it. Mr.. Blanch-
ard thinks, however, that fair and
reasonable duty will be retained on
both industries.

ing editorially, says:
If not in the next Congressional
contest, then in the State campaign
will be witnessed one of the most
stupendous controversies that have
taken place in many years. 1t will
not be SO much party fight, but a
factional one composed of elements
different from any that has ever
been seen before. On the one side
will be arrayed the politicians and
their pensioners, the hangers on,
camp-followers and henchmen, while
confronting them will be the people
defending States pride, honor and
storehouse. The fight will be a
royal one as it ever is and has been
when Right and Justice take the
field to ssdethrone" usurpers and
destroy their reign. 1t is coming
and the battle may as well be fought
now and better too than to wait
until the foe is more securely en-
throned. The politicians are organ
lied and under good discipline, and
it is time the people were following
their examples.
We agree with the Progress. 1t
will be battle of principle, State
pride and honor against usurpers,
placed over us by the votes of four
men, chiefly among them John S.
Young. Never in the history of
Louisiana have the people been so
awakened to sense of factional OPP
preston.

The Columbian Exposition.

The Columbian Exposition opens
for September the most brilliantly, 10
spite of the financial strIngency, aud il
is evident that the month will not
only be the most brilliant in poinr OF
attendance, but SO much ahead of the
others that comparison will be impos-
sible. The attendance has long since
passed the 100000 point. and never
falls as low as that point except as that
point on Sunday.
For the week days of September the
average aidattendance has been 1885,
$50, aud as it is steadily increasing we
may look for close on 100000 per day
average for the month, and total at
tendance of between 100000 and g.
100000. The Chicago Exposition is
already far ahead of the Philadelphia
Centennial in the total attendance co.
981, 088 to dafe), with two mouths
more to run, and the indications now
point to q total of over 10000, 900 vis-
itors, running the Paris Expeditions
closely aud distancing all others. This
is certainly wonderful showing, es-
pecially when made in the face of
such an acute financial crisis as has ex.
listed in this country. The average
daily attendance by months has been
as follows: May 1891, June 89,704,
July 92,0e8, August 113,403, Septem-
Der $4,000. July was somewhat Of
a disappointment, but since then the
Exposition has satisfied all cxpecta-
tions.-Timcs-De Democrat.

A KIND OF DEMOCRACY THAT HAS
THE RIGHT RING TO IT.

Pin-headed editors have recently
been expendlng their feeble efforts to
show that Congressman JEFF Hudson,
of the Third Kansas district, has re-
pudiated his Populist constituents
and gone, body and breeches, over to
the democracy. They say he is 80
registered in the congressional di-
rectory; and, Notwithstanding, he has
said, over his own signature, that
this registration was without his su-
thority, and that he had nothing to
do with it, and knew nothing about it,
these nincompoops continue to reiter-
ate the senseless rot and talk as
though they expected sensible people
to believe it. The following letter,
written in reply to a letter OF inquiry
as to his views, from the Cincinnati
board of trade, be it democracy or any
other kind of ocracy, is good enough
doctrine for us, and ought to salts
factorily locate the congressman from
the Third district:

ANOTHER plutoorat, who died lately, has
left million and quarter dollars for
free public library for Chicago, Rs we'll as
half million to the Presbyterian church
and missions, and other minor bequests for
goods. We don't see much objection to
that kind of ''plutoorst." Heis far better

dependent.
It is not to be supposed that the
editor of the Independent could be
led to see any objection to plutOcrat
of any description. He has not the
capacity to see much of anything. 1t
will occur to the intelligent reader,
however, that when q man devotes his
life to the robbery OF his fellow
men, and, on his desth-bed, seeks to
atone for his crimes by founding
libraries in the great cities OF the
land and endowing churches and mis-
sions with the plunder, that the credit
for these benefactions is usually be-
slowed upon the wrong person

Yes, republicans are getting their

cages, as the Capital stated it; and
the official census of 1890 shows the
figures Of that "treRsable" document
to be approximately correct. But
the point we desire to make is this:
that from 1883 to 1890, there was no
reduction of the aggregate debt. The
crop of 1889 was an abundant one,
prices averaged higher than in any
sbundant-crop year since that time,
the financial stringency has been
constantly increasing; and if the peo-
pie were unable to reduce their sg-
gregate debt from 1888, when the
Galloway investigation was made, to
1890 when the United States census
was taken. there is no good reason for
believing that they have reduced it
since the latter date. In fact, it may
be conclusively shown that the ag-
gregste surplus products of the state,
if sold for cash at the prices that
have prevailed, would not pay the in
terest upon the public and private
debt, and the taxes upon the property
of the state, as shown by the census
of 1890. This proposition is suscepti-
bic of absolute demonstration. The
census has disclosed the facts" but
the 'lies have not been put down."
The Buffalo editor, after drawing
so heavily upon his imagination for
the facts of his paragraph, says:
No wonder the occupation Of the calamity
howler is gone and that Kansas is returning
to the republican party.
It is an old saying, "Go away from
home to learn the news" If the
aforesaid editor will possess his soul
in peace until the people of Kansas
get another rap at the republican
party, he will see how they are re-
turning to 1T. The Peoples party of
Kansas was never as strong or as de-
termlned asst ID to-day, and it gain
ing ground every moment that passes.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-06-28

THERE is no more important work
that can be undertaken by the women

placed on record; and, when the nom
mating conventions meet, let no
enemy of woman be placed on the
ticket. If, perchance, one such
should secure a nomination, let him
be defeated. no matter what party he
may belong to. If this is to be a war
to the knife, let us have the knife to
the hilt

The editor of the Pittsburg Kan

ties in Kansas. He says that the Kansas
farmers have recently paid off 80 per cent.
Of their debts; that the wheat and corn crop
of the last four years have brought in $780,
5OO,O 900; that in the same time hogs in
creased eight times, and cattle four times in
number. In forty-four counties Of the state
there is not a single pauper. No wonder
the occupation Of the calamity hOwlers is
gone and that Kansas is returning to the
republican party.-BufslO Express, June
II, 1893.
There are not as many errors in the
above paragraph, perhaps, as could
be crowded into the same space, but
the writer has done very well. In the
first place, John r. Mulvane has not
made any such examination Of the
official county records as above indi-
Gated, and if he had, he would not
have found data for any such state
ment with regard to the payment Of
mortgage Indebtedness. John r.
Mulvsne has sufficient other business
to engage his attention without visit
ing the county seats of the 1O6 coun-
ties of the state to look up statistics of
the payment of debt; and he has not
done it; nor has he ever made any
pretense of doing 1t.
There is no doubt that some farm
ers IN the state have paid their mort
cages, and there is nothing more
certain than that others have gwen
new mortgages and others still have
increased the old ones. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful, leaving out OF the
question the mortgages cancelled by
the sheriff, whether the aggregate
real estate debt of the state has been
reduced by a single dollar since the
census investigation was instituted IN
1890. OF course, there is no accurate
data to sustain this opinion at the
present time, nor is there any to sus-
tain an opposite one. There is this
fact, however, which should not be
overlooked by fair-minded people
who are looking for facts, rather than
weaving sophistries to sustain the
fortunes of decsying parties. In
the presidential campaign OF 1885
certain parties undertook an inVesti-
CATION of the mortgage indebtedness
of the state at great expense and at
the cost of immense labor. This In
vestigation resulted in the issue Of
what was known as the Galloway cir
cular in which the debt was stated al
about $235,OOO,000. Then what q
howl there was from the republican
press. This circular was branded as
an infamous lie until the official CEN
sus of 1890 proved its truth.
AS late as May 10, 1890, the To
peka Capital, speaking of the pro
posed census of mortgage indebted
ness, said:
The Wichita Eagle fears that ''this mort
gage census business will do Kansas a grea'
injury" We doubt that. The census vii
disclose the facts, and his will have to b'
put down. Kansas will be shown TO have
farm mortgage indebtedness of not CEN
over $6O,0C0,0O0. = g.
