SATURDAY, july l, 1893.

NEXT Tuesday will be Independence
Day or Fourth of July. The Fourth is
distinctively an American holiday. 1t
commentaries the birthday of our nat
ion. On that day of all days there
should be no partisanship; no North,
no South, no East, no West. 1t is usual
for the Fourth of July orator to COM
mence at the landing of the pilgrim
forefathers and trace the progress OF our
nation at each successive step, con-
trasting our present greatness and pros
perity with that of our nation in its
infancy. This retrospection is very
pleasant and profitable to all patriots
and we have a right to feel proud that
we are American citizens and entitled to
the protection of the American flag.
We have right to feel proud of our
past achievements, present greatness
and future possibilities, and the orator,
who in recounting our nations history,
can make his hearers feel proud that
they are part of this, the grandest
nation that eyer existed, will perform
his allotted part well. And, when he
has succeeded in impressing the lessons
of patriotism, when he compels you to
see and realize that we have the best
form of government on earth, then you
cannot help but remember that it was
our brave boys in blue who preserved
the nation as it now it. Then you must
believe that our nation owes our veter-
ans debt of gratitude, a tangible, exist
ing obligation that can never be repudi-
ated. Had it not been for them we would
have no Fourth of July celebrations.
Instead of free and united nation we
would be rent in twain, discovered, dis
cordant. There is no partisan politics
in this. Old soldiers are found in the
ranks Of all political parties, and how it
is possible to make Fourth of July
Grafton without a plea for these brave
men we cannot comprehend. Our gov
eminent must be just, and all its obi
cations must be fully liquidated. We
are the greatest nation in existence TO-
day and are only in our infancy. We
believe in our country's fulfillment of its
noble career. We believe in the glor-
ions Fourth of july.

ing men, whose friend they professed to
be, and whom they were going to pro-
tect from robbing trusts. Well, the
Harper county alliance met, last week,
for the express purpose of looking after
the interests of the laboring men. They
entered into a combination Chat is, a
trust) for the purpose of keeping down
the wages of farm hands, and especially
to prevent them from obtaining an in
crease during harvest. That's the sort
of friends to the laEoring man they are.
They are particular friends to them
selves, and when they are in need of
laborers, will grind them down to the
last notch. Another thing: They are
great advocates of eight hours as days
work, but who ever heard of an alliance
man permitting farm hand to get off
with eight, or even ten hours as days
work? The calamity people are great
fellows to regulate prices for other

THE stalwart democrats of Ellsworth
county look at it in this way: We are
surely big and valorous third; if we
run and get our point, We stand right at
home with the administration and are
our own folks, but if we join in and help
to elect the populists, which we can
surely do, we may gain something and
we may only have dirt paved in our
faces. Between the two, we would
rather be beat than to be mudsills and
the dirt catchers of the people we elect !;
unless we are to have fair show and an
even divide wego alone and We'll maybe
go alone anyhow.-EHswOrth Messenger

'WHITHER are we drifting?" is q
question it is well to consider in the
light of recent events. When the gov
ernor of great state like Illinois, in the
exercise of his pardoning power, turns
loose such socialists as Fielding,
Echwab and Neebe who were tried and
found guilty before as fair and learned a
court as ever tried case, it is time for
Us all to stop and seriously consider.
Not only has the governor committed a
great and inexcuseable outrage, but has
added insult to injury by denouncing
the court and assuming to himself the
role of both judge and jury. We do not
believe that the decent, respectable and
law-abiding citizens of Illinois are In
the minority, and this miserable dema-
goguery of Illinois governor viii be
rebhked at the next election, in such
strong and unmistakeable terms, that it
win be notice to the world that social
ism will never be tolerated in that fair
state.

Politics VS.. Patriotism

The Kansas City Times is a democrat.
ic newspaper. 1t cannot, therefore, be
accused of undue prejudice when it says
in plain terms, through its Topeka
bureau, that the Populist campaign will
be opened in Kansas on the Fourth OF
July. The Times gives the news. 1t
states exactly what every populist who
is posted knows and what all intelligent
Kansans have gilt-edge reasons for be-
lieving. Here is the concluding portion
of the Topeka bureau article in the
Times of last Tuesday:
''The Fourth of July is to be the great
est picnic day of all. Elaborate prepa-
rations have been made in every con-
gressional district in the state for a
grand celebration, at each of which
Peoples party orators alone will be
given an opportunity to talk. Every
state officer is booked for political
speech on July f. This making of indie
pendence day time for political parti-
san discussion was inaugurated in 1891.
The success which attended it then was
so marked that it was repeated last year
and will be again this year.
The rural vote must be captured, and
picnics and fireworks, sandwiched in
with plenty of oratory and ginger bread,
viii be used to do it." -
That is unquestionably the Populist
program in Kansas counties that are
close politically. In few counties,
however, where Demo-Pop majorities
last year seemed to justify the conclus-
ion that the republicans are not to be
feared the coming fall, the program
will probably be varied. In other
words, in these counties the celebrations
Matched in the alliance, and carefully
kept under alliance control, may seek to
deceive people on the outside by select
ing Republicans for speakers. But "and
others''-meaning alliance speakers to
wind up with-will be found on the
bills.
Any set of men, we care not what
their politics may be, who will deliber-
ately undertake to prostitute the ami
versary of the Nations birthday by
making it avehicle of partisan politics,
instead Of lofty patriotism, should be
tortured to their political death on the
rack of outraged public opinion. Peo-
who believe in patriotism should have
absolutely nothing to do with this polit-
ical prostitution. The success of any
just cause does not rest on stealing the
livery of Heaven to serve the devil in"
Furthermore, Pop. speakers are billed
for some points where the public senti-
ment is against them, and where their
promised appearance proves that the
people generally have not been con-
suited. For instance, Lewelling and R.
S. Osborn are said to be billed for
speeches at Wa-keeney on the Fourth.
If the people at large are not to have a
hand in the celebration of the Fourth,
1t were thousand times better that it

THE Kansas Farmer, Senator PETER
paper, has been making weekly state
ments from bank cashiers throughout
the state in regard to the deposits in
their banks and estimates that two
thirds of all the bank deposits belong to
the people who produce wealth from the
soil SIN the far western counties the
showing is small and represents the
condition of the tillers of the soil in
that section, but even there there is a
growing disposition of farmers to be
frugal, indicating that the settlers on
the Kansas prairies are men who have
come to stay" John W. Briedenthal,
chairman of the populist party, has
travelled extensively through the state
since he became State Bank Commits
sioner says that wherever he goes he
finds growing accounts to the credit of
the farmers. This, he says, sis especi-
ally true in the agricultural belt just
east of the center of the state, where
farmers own from one-half to three
fourths of the deposits. In the eastern
half of the state, the accounts of the
farmers are of course larger than in the
west, but their proportion is not so
large on account of the commercial
industries which prevail and whose
supply of cash is much greater than that
of the farming classes" This is per-
haps the highest authority that we can
give upon this subject. If the state
ments came from other sources they
would be branded as emanations from
the subsidized press" They show
that the farmers are, at least, as pros
porous as those engaged in other pur-
suits and perhaps even more so than
any other class in the eastern portion
of the state. We would be accused of
partisanship if we were to suggest that
this condition of affairs, with respect to
our Kansas farmers, were brought about
under republican rule. We will not say
1t but we will affirm that when you
hear an individual assert that our Kan
sas farmers are paupers on account of
partisan legislation, you may safely con-
clude that the mind of the speaker is
enveloped in dense ignorance or that he
is demagogue or both.

property. is received, the real extent of the
storm becomes known. II is
impossible TO get the names
OF the victims, however. aud in
most instances the accounts OF destruction
wrought are incomplete. Even in some
places where communication has been re-

duty of caring for the injured In the care
of the dead and In the putting together
what was once their happy homes.
Fifteen people are known TO have been
killed, thirty or forty were injured. while
numberless houses as we'll as smaller
property were destroyed. Much stock
was also killed. Fruit trees were broken
and twisted and hay stacks were scattered
in all instances and some anxiety is felt
lest there be a shortage in fodder. In
