all the silver and gold in the treasur,
and for all that shall be- offered, an,
for the issuing of enough paper t.

says he does not consider the coun

Governor Lewelling has given or
ders to the Kansas City, Kansas

A number OF policy men have beel

Ottawa Journal.
Every one-horse Republican poll
tician in the state wants to get into
prominence by tryingto get up a de
bate between himself and the gov
ernor. First, Douglass issued chal
lenge which the Governor has justly
passed in contempt. Now Ed Hocl
goes this one better by Offering tc
give $25 to the Populist campaign
fund if the Governor will debate
him. The Governor can not afford
to disgrace his office by kicking Re
publican schemers into notor,ety
He cannot afford to disgrace his higl
position by entering into political
bull-baits with lying Republican
ranters.
Buff Douglass or Hoch (the two
leading officers of the Republican
house want to really have this
matter discussed before the people,
then the Populists are perfectly viii
ling that Dunsmore and Semple the
two leading officers of the Populist
house, shall meet them. So far as
the Populists of Franklin county are
concerned, they challenge either
Douglass or Hoch to come here and
debate that question with Semple,
and the Republicans are welcome to
all they can get out oft. We know
Douglass and Hoch. We know the
faces in the case and we know Sem
pie. And we cheerfully say to Re-
publicans: "Trot out your man."

REFORM PRESS POINTS.

Inc RepuDllcan party mas gone
Democratic in Iowa on the liquor
question. Verify the lines between
the g. o. p., and the d. o. r. are
rapidly disappearing.
Shylock sits in room clipping
coupons, when three men enter
armed to kill him. They all pre-
pare for battle. Each of the three
claims the right to do the work. A
quarrel ensues, and the three fight,
and Shylock says, Flight on, you
fools; while you are fighting between
yourselves, you don't hurt me"
This is the position of the reform
parties of to-day.
Farmers Advocate.
Isn't it rather remarkable that the
Republican politicians who are howl
ing so fercely now about the pater-
nalism of the Populists have never
realized that the Mckinley law is
the very essence of that doctrine?
AS the Republican leaders in Kan.
sas find their voters very much
divided on the silver question, the
bosses advise that Republican
speakers not discuss the money
question, but tear around about the
tariff, the force bill, and the "late
wah."
State Journal.
They don't like Cleveland down
south any more. A rank Democrtic
paper down there says, eff Cleve-
land had to pick cotton at thirty-6ve
cents hundred to buy the baby
dress, he would be yelling for free
silver as big as anybody.
The Truth.
In all the Democratic state con-
ventions that have met since the
present session of congress began,
the presidents policy has been en-
dorsed. This action puts the free
coinage Democrats out of the party,
or else they must recant, succumb
and fall in line, which means that
Cleveland is the embodiment of
Democracy, and that Wall street
controls the machine.
And now comes Elk United States
senator Cole (of California, a life
long Republican, and says to the Peo-
ple's party, am with you, and
together we will march on in the
middle of the road. The next fight
will be between the Demo Reps and
the Peoples party. AS Mr.. Bryan
said in closing his great speech in
the house on silver: Will the Demo-
Gratis of Texas beat retreat or make
a charge?

The only difference between Kan
sas Republicans and Mississippi
Democrats is that the former argue
with sIedge-hammers and Win
chesters, while the latter use re
voIvers and shot-guns.

They had "a big race in the Chero'

but it was not near SO great as the

For thirty long years the Demo

as they claim, to do something, and
when the chance came, the only
thing thing they have tried to do il
demonetize silver.

A collision occurred on the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway a
few days ago, at Ferguson, Iowa,
because the engineer had gone to
sleep, having been worked until he
was utterly exhausted. Dividends
on the watered stock of railways
must be kept up, hence train men are
over-worked to cut down expenses.
Salaries of presidents and railroad
attorneys, ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 year, are never touched
when it comes to reducing expenses,
but the trainmen and public are
