no more appropriate occasion for
these observations than the present.
We hope to, see the new daily en-
courage this unifcation and harmony
Of action. We hope to see it pursue
a polite course IN line with our party
principles, as it is most emnently
qualified to do. We do not wish to
be misunderstood in this last sugges-
tion. By a polite course we do not
mean what is vulgarly called a milk
and-water policy. We do not mean
what is usually denominated a con-
serVstive course, This is a time
when radlcalism is demanded. What
we mean by polite course is an ed
ucationsl course upon the line OF
party demands; and it is here where
we have chiefly differed from Mr..
Corning in that il has seemed to us
that he has been inclined to sgitste
too much outside of such demands.
We donot question his right as an in-
diVldual to do this. We shall not even
question the truth and Justice of his
arguments at this time. We are not
among those who believe that every
thing is cOmprehended in our party
platforms. We do believe this, how
ever, that relief to the people and
deliverance from slavery to a money
oligarChy depends upon the success
of the Peoples party or some other
party through whose instrumentality
modern republicsnism and modern
democracy must both be overthrown
We believe further that to secure
this result ali who are enlisted in the
work should act together harmoni'
ously and upon the lines mapped out
by our party conventions. Not ths
they include everything, as before
remarked, but they include sucE
things as the party deems it expedi
ent to take up for the time being
and in order that a concentration o.
force may produce results, we shoulC
not enlarge our field Of discussion toc
much upon outside questions, how
ever important they may appear
Success is the one thing essential
Let us hope in the future that al
efforts may be concentrated to tina

THE DAILY NEW ERA"

Ism, ana desire 70 make AUS appear
snce the occasion for few statements
that it appears 70 us are Of no little
Importance at this time. First, how
ever, we will speak of the paper itself.
The prospectus states that it is
started under the auspices of the
executive committee Of the Peoples
party of Shawnee county. Cyrus
Corning is it's editor, and he is as
sisted by his daughter, Miss Eva L.
Corning, as associate. No one will
question the eminent ability of the
editorial force to make a paper that
will not only be q credit to all con-
cerned in it, but also power for good
in the party. The ADVOCATE enter
tains no spirit of jealousy to prevent
us from wishing the adventure the
most abundant success. We realize
the necessity of q daily paper, and
earnestly hope that from this modest
beginning, much more may be real
lzed. We realize also, and desire
here to express our appreciation OF
Mr.. Corning's ability in the work in
which he is engaged. He has our
most kindly wishes for success.
Now we desire in this connection
to speak of some other things concern
ing which possibly we should have
spoken before. We have not always
agreed with Mr.. Corning upon mat
ters of detail, and matters Of method
in the pursuit of party interests.
While we have conceded his right to
pursue his own course and act as his
Judgment should dictate, it has
seemed to us that he has not always
been willing to concede the same
right to us. It has seemed that ne
has criticised us at times unfairly. IL
has seemed TO us that he was inclined
to question our sincerity simply on
the ground Of difference Of opinion.
Differences of opinion cannot be
avoided, and are to be expected, and
those who differ do not merit disre-
spect or harsh criticism on that ac-
count.
Another thing that it may be well
to say at this time. Our party has
never achieved any remarkable sue
cess in Shawnee county. This may
be accounted for, of course, because
of the fact that the city of Topeka is
located in this county and Populist
strength is not usually as early de-
veloped in large cities as in the rural
districts. Bat there is another cause
which should not be overlooked, and
which should be removed. There
have been altogether too many per-
sonal and factionsl jealousies among
the members of the party to augur
well for its success. 1t is not neOes-
sary to psrticularize in this respect,
The facts are we'll known to those
concerned. It is our honest judg-
ment that these jealousies are very
largely without cause. Men have
been charged with sympathies and

the birthplace Of fakes and falsehoOdswhich
have made the name Of Kansas odiouB
throughout the world and done moro 10 our
disCrsdit than all the parties and politicians
Che state has ever bred" The Eebuke was
one richly deserved. There is no more
p0instaking and conscientious man in Che
newspaper work in Kansas than Tom Nor
tom, and none knows better the disreputable
methods employed by irresponsible sCEib-
blers than he does. Il is TO be regretted
that he could not call the fakirs by name
and hold them up TO the just condemnation
Of all honest men.
We are glad to reproduce this tes-
timony concerning the true character
of the Topeka correspondence to east
ern papers. The Journal regrets
that Mr.. Norton could not call the
fskirs by name and hold them up to
che Just condemnation Of all honest
men" Why does not the Journal
call them by nsme3 Certainly not
because it does not know them. They
are all good republicsns-every one
Of them. Gan it be possible that this
fact has influenced the Withholding
Of their names by honest CD republic
can editOrs3 Perish the thought
For the accommodation of the
Journal, the ADVOCATE will name the
most conspicuous Of these "fskirs,
and we hope the Journal will at once
proceed ITO hold them up to the just
condemnation Of all honest men,"
It is q question which one is en-
titled to first place by right Of most
eminent service, but as we cannot
name them oil first, we will name
them in succession, and leave them to
settle the question of superior merit.
We will name first in order d. o.
McCray, ex-executive clerk Of the late
Governor Humphrey, the man who,
Ben Henderson says, went to Oowley
county to steal 300 votes from Che
Peoples party in that county as it's
quota Of the number necessary to
elect the republican ticket last year.
Next we would mention Mr.. A. G..
Stacy, whose claims to excellence in
this line Of work do not need to be
bowlstered up by any such outside
: service as that said to have been
} rendered by MCCrsy.
Joseph K. Hudson and his assooi-
ates upon the editorial staff Of the
Capital must not be overlooked. Dur
! ing the early struggles Of the PeO-
pies party in Kansas in 1890, JOSEPH
was the Topeka agent of the assoCi-
. hted press, and every one must re-
. member the meritorious service he
, rendered in the fake line in that early
day.
There are others of less ability in
this direction who could lay no claim
to be mentioned in the same article
, as those named above, but after the
, Journal is through holding these up
to the just condemnation Of all honest
4 men," we may name them In a sepa-
l rate paragraph.

According to Secretary Keep Of the
Lake Carrieros' association the in
crease of the carrying trade Of the
great lakes is large. The figures for
last year show that the value Of all
the freight passing through the canal
i'll 1892 was s135, ILL, 267 against
$12S,17S,2OS in 1891 and s1O2,2l4,-
94S in 1890. This shows an increase
within two years of $50, 992,319 in the
value of freight going through the
canal, and Of necessity this shows that
more vessels were employed. Indeed,
it is stated that in the freight tonnage
there was q gain of 2,325,574 tons
over 1891, while the registered tom
mage increased q per cent. 1t is too
early yet to estimate the amount or
value of the freight going through tie
canal this year, but the present iudi
cations are that very healthy in
crease of business over last year Will
be reported. All railway lines in the
northwest formerly led to Chicago
but now the railroad system OF the
northwest is rapidly changing. In
stead Of leading to Chicago, Lake
Michigan point, FIVE Or six hundred
miles from the base of the supplies f,r
the carrying trade, they are INV
reaching out to much nearer points on
Lake Superior, near to the base Of
supplies and nearer to eastern ship
ping pointsthan is Chicago.

Like the round ocean,"
When steamboat travel was the only
means of reaching the country on the
Upper Mississippi, the beauty of Lake
Pepin, and its tragic legend Of Maiden
Rock, were known to all tourists, and
celebrated in prose and verse. The
coming of the railroads, and the passion
of our hurrying Americans for night
travel, have caused these charming
scenes to be missed by thousands who
would have wondered and admired. In
these delightful nights the travellers who
are fortunate enough to choose the

from Minneapolis and st. Paul to Chi
cago or st Louis, can by consulting the
almanac, and selecting a moonlight
