Character is diamond that

There is little influence where there

Silence is the wit of fools and one

True friends visit us in prosperity

Let us help the fallen still, though

Il AN democrat" said. John Mar
tin when called before the popnlist
caucus at two O'Clock in tie morning.
Upon what he said at that time de-
pended his fate as a candidate for
United States senator. The vote was
a tie between him and populists Yet
he had the courage and the manhood
to tell those members of the Legislature
that if they elected him senator be
would 60 to Washington as a democrat
and not as populist- Most men would
have eYaded that point. But John
Martin was honest enough to:tell them
the plain truth. even if 1t. should cost
him senatorship. His frank utterances
impressed bis judges with his honesty
and strength OF character and when
another ballot was taken he was aomi-
mated by good majority:-Lawrenee

OUR DEMOCRATIC SENATOR.

Il am Internationally in favor of
sense, but tariff reduction of radical
character. / am in favor of the least
possible tariff rates that can lie laid on
the necessaries and placing higher rates
of duty upon articles of luxury.
Il am in favor of unconditional and
unlifnited coinage of silver and without
limitation as to its debt paying power.
81 am opposed upon principle to ma
tional banks or any other financial sys-
tenn that compels or indsces partner
ship relation of financial character
between the government and private
individuals. l believe that all national
bank currencies should be retired and
the deficiency supplied by additional
issue of treasury notes in volume to
supply the business demands of the
country.
Il am in favor either of an income
tax or what may be even better,
graded property tax, as suggested by
jefferson to Hancock in his letter of
1892.
Il am not in favor of the subtreasury
system, for l think there is something
better, the plan already suggested, OF
gold. silver and treasury notes or
greenback currency based ON the whole
property of this country, without limi-
tations and receivable for all debts
public and private.
Il am in favor of a radical control of
the railroads rather than ownership,
but confess 1 have great fears as TO
the practicability of such control, so as
to make it effective and thoroughly III
ehe interests of the people.
Il am in favor of electing United
States senators by direct vote Of the
people"
These are tie manly, logical, straight
forward expressions of Senator John
Martin of Kansas. and tDey are the
same sentiments he expressed while
canvassiDg the state in the interests Of
the winning ticket in 1882. Safe in the
know ledge that be was RIGHT, firm IN
thoughtful people of Kansas would
stand by the man who thus took lis
stand, he went straight ahead in his
honesty of purpose and intent, and
swerved neither to the right nor to The
left, until his noble efforts were
crowned with the laurel wreath of
victory, and the men who admire
honesty and integrity, who despise
political trickery and chicanery, named
him for seat i'll the highest law max
ing body of the land. -
And the populists were consistent Ill
selecting him. Though a democrat, he
did more towards bringing about the
defeat of the party which opposes ali
the things he above enumerates. than
did or could any one man OF the pee
pies party. Votes are what win i'll Il
political battle, and without the proper
number of votes there is no political
success, and without political success,
there is no opportunity for law
making or reforming. The dem
ocrais who saw the needof partial
party sacrifice with view to
defeating a strongly entrerched
enemy, are we'll rewarded Dy the
selection of their leader, John Martin,
for United States senator.

TIE appointment of Judge Jackson,
of Tennessee. to the supreme bench.
by PresidenI Harrison. does not please
the republicans. In this instance, as in
one or two others during President
Harrison'S administration, he has
arisen above his party and made an
appointment on its merits and not be-
cause of some certain republican pull.
OF course such course sill loI sc
down well With the politicians in his
plrty; but President HARRISON doubt
less believes n pleasing the living

Which Fate do You Prefer2

Twenty years ago, when a small boy,

Tt Makes q Diffarence.

The st. Louis Republic has a pretty
good idea of Kansas republicanlsm. 1t
says that "republicauism i'll Kansas tor
lack of Scruple; Tor reckless disregard
of tue constitution; for that species of
republicanism that is always ready to
violate any contract; to trample down
any law that interferes with any scheme
of republicanism to obtain or TO retain
power.
''As long as this be true Kansas
democrat can never do his own party
aud It's principles greater injury than
by siding with republicans III their
schemes of retaining the power they
have so long abused.
ssWhoever is for the republicans is
against democracy. That is true every
where, and there is nothing in the Kan
sas situation to change it"
AS proof that the Republic is right,
the course of the party in the senatorial
election can be referred to.
The republicans claimed with some
show of justice that the members of the
legislature who held certificates ought
to be admitted and then unseated if it
transpires that they were not legally
elected.
That is all right. But when John
Martin goes to Washington with cer-
tificste of election, these same republi-
cans ask the United States senate to set
Mr. Martins s certificate aside and ad-
NIT Mr.. Ady, who has no certificate.
1t sometimes makes great difference

years old, arrived from Norway Friday

cars of grain per year becomes law,

the season was the social at Mrs. Nor
ris' Monday night. A very large num-
Der of persons were present. The even

returned home
The firm Of Nichols & McDougal are
rustlers. Last week they bought the
stoc of Geo. Daniels and added it to
their already large line of confectionery
goods, making nearly a $500 stock.
But the crowning act of rustling was

ice yesterday with the thermometer 10

HAVE you noticed that the little,
two-for-a- cent newspaper editors who
