Shaping the ImpOsters.

Topeka Press: The impudence and
gall of the nincompoops, Crouch
and Mitchell, who are playing
statesmen in Washington, d. c.,
arouses the righteous Indignation of
lighting Barney Sheridan, editor of the
Paola Spirit, and in a scathing rebuke
he administers the following we'll de-
served castIgation to them:
Their kilograms to Miami county,
that they will name all the postmasteIs
in this section, is an absurd exhibition
of cheek. We have a democratic or
ganization here, sixteen years old, and
believe in home rule. They will learn
later on, that Miami county democrats
accepted the election of John Martin to
the U. S. senate as democratic victory
although they opposed the endorsement
of the populist ticket at Topeka, on the
9Th of last July. The state committee.
with Governor Click, General Blair,
Senator Martin and the delegates who
| helped to nominate Mr.. Cleveland, rep
resented the democratic organization
| of Kansas. Who ever heard of Mitch
| ell in democratic work and democratic
councils? He never was a delegate to
democratic state convention or DEM
ocratic nominee. Not fifty democrats
of this state ever knew of him until a
few years ago, when a republican gov
| ernor appointed him railroad commits
sloner upon a petition circulated by
his friendly associates III the railroad
| business. And as to Crouch, we have
| been fighting democratic battles and
attending state democratic conventions
for more than sixteen years, and we
never heard of him until 1891, when he
attracted attention by a fight on the
democratic state central committee.
These two gentlemen can splurge
around on high living in Washington,
paid for by whomsOeYer it is, but we re-
specially suggest that the united DEM
ocracy of Miami county will pull
through regardless of their officious in
! termedling.''
This rebuke is applicable to these two
frauds in every county in the state
where they have assumed to dictate
patronage or recommend anyone for ap-
pOintment. The impudence they assert
in telegraphing back to Kansas, that
appointments will be made on their
recommendation, is astounding. No re.
spectacle democrat will suffer these
| men to bunco him out of S25 as the
price of their influence. Contact with
them In any shape Or form is contami-
nation and political suicide. They are
simply characterless charlatans, who
are attempting to survive by filching
from the credulous Office seeker, since
they have absolutely failed to make a
| living in an honest way.

Denver Road: The man who claimed
to be able to direct the correct finan cial
policy of the Nation under President
Harrison, has at last fallen victim to
his own principles.
Calico Charley" Foster is in the
dust.
He ought to shake dice with Mckin-
ley to decide which of the two knows
the least about finances.
Currency contraction and gold
craze ideas nave weighed down Mr.
Foster for years. Out of the vast mum
of people who have watched the bull
headed, conceited course of Wall street
tools in the United States treasury,
none will be found who will say that
they are sorry to hear that Foster has
gone into bankruptcy. He richly de-
serves dose of poverty. Would TO God
few more of his stripe might be
dish 3D." A remarkable thing abont
! the Foster failure is the fact that the
Wall street g0ld-bugs who have enjoyed
Fosters fayors for years, absolutely re-
fused to assist him when he got in the
hole. 1t ought to be a lesson to the
little, predetermined jack-asses who are
now on their stomachs crawling to the
Rothschilds combine. In the bright lex
icon OF Hog de Rothschilds there is no
such word as mercy. Banker and
tramp, merchant and mechanic, all
must lie down and deliver Ilp when the
Shiny tentacles of the Rothschllds Octa.

bankers and goldbug sympathizers
are now getting it Just a little harder
than the common people.

The Cresset seems very eager to in

level their paper-wad guns on HIM from

the straight forward declaration of
fundamental populist principles. Be-
cause we have taken a course, temper

LETTER LIST.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country, than all other diseases puttogether,
aud until the last few years, was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years, doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and, therefore. requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F.J Cheney & Co., Toledo
ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally In doses, from
ten drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimon-
ials. Address.

If the Volume of Money Increased as Fast
as the Volume of Business, These Would
BE No Panics.
Rev. Robert Collyer preached on
"Panics, Secular and Sacred He said
that the whisper, 1--WE are on the edge
of a panic, may rise into shout of
dismay and cause wreck and ruin
The terror of the whispers we have
heard" he said, Lies in the hollowness
and worthlessness of what we agree
upon calling business, when there is no
more truth or reality in it's heart than
there would be in raising the apples of
Sodom. When the fever of what we
call speculation rises towards the panic
line from year to year, and the fatal
year of the whisper and the cry arrive,
then we know that there is something
wrong in the values that have been ex-
changed. Those caught in such bus
mess go down in the grip of panic,
unless they unload in time, while those
who only deal in values that are worth
their face escape with diminished for
tunes, if they are strong, while the
weak go to the wall"

The average per cent, of losses paid
by Kansas fire insurance companies in
1892. as compared with premiums re-
ceIved was 1925. The per cent. in the
Alliance insurance order was Slt. This
is owing to economical management
and low premiums. They took from
their patrons last year 100000 less
than other companies took on the same
amount of business.

Cresset: There was an editor in our
town who lied, and lied, and lied; and
every lie was just 80 long and some
where just 80 wide. III we would put a
fact in print-as sure as grass in spring,
he'd read it different, and make it just
the opposite thing.
The conscience of the Cresset, if it
ever had one, seems to be returning,
like Banquo's ghost, to disturb the
eqanimity OF its thoughts.
