The rebels who were sworn in to
aid the Douglass (rnmp) house in
opposing the state government, un-
der the command of the Santa Fe
railroad managers and fixers, have
received pay for their Services"
and the taxpayers of the state must
foot the bill. We want our readers
to take this matter home and think
it over. Do you intend to continue
to be overrun and robbed by the
Santa Fe railroad company and its
lackeys, pimps and strikers? Those
Santa Fe deputies pulled over five
thousand dollars out of the state
treasury in three days. Do you
want to see this repeated two years
hence Then, let every man who
is opposed to railroad rule say so at
the ballot box.

ROAD BONDS.

How wonderfully interested in
good roads are all the bond breeding
newspapers at this particular time.
The light has come to the whole
crew simultaneously, and in ca
dence transcendently beautiful they
AL sing the same song. The unin-
formed would be led to think that
our public roads are an inferior class
of cow paths-sO bad, indeed, that
the hearts of these editors become
rent from stem to gudgeon, and their
heads drained OF the last drop of
lachrymose fluid in weeping over
the bad roads over which the hay
seeds of the nation must haul the
products of their farms.
They are all down on their mar
row-bones, praying the legislatures
to come to the rescue of the farmers
aud give them good roads.
Good roads are grand thing, but
to get them on the scale and in the
time these newspapers suggest dis
closes a colossal "nigger in the
wood.piIc." All who are compelled
to use the highways are pleased with
good ones. Suck as are demanded
at the instance of the manufacturers
of bicycles will cost millions Of
dollals. There's millions lying idle,
not productive. They want some
new form of bonds in which to in
vest their idle money, and by inter
esting manufacturers of bicycles and
the editors of venal papers. they
expect TO create another special
privilege.
The demand comes from hundreds
of papers east and west, north and
south, simultaneously They come
with u pathos that would excite
sympathy if the cloven foot did not
protrude so conspicuously. That
we need good roads-at least, much

j. s. CLARKsoN-he of not very
savory reputation-wrote a letter
to the Republican League, recently
in council at Topeka, in which he
told them the Republicans of Kan
sas were of the unapologizing kind.
This was pure buncombe, and just
about as near the truth as they
usually get. They have apologized
for every crime committed against
the rights of man by the Republi-
can party ever since the party cut
loose from the moorings of the po-
litical fathers. For every infraction
of justice, for every violation OF
sacred pledges, for every insult to
labor, for the sluice of slime and
filth turned out from the majority of
it's printing offices-for all these,
and whatsoever else OF political
despicability chargable to the party,
they have apologised and then they
have the brazen effrontry to pose
before the world as pure. minded
patriots Think of Joe Hudson
opening the Capital food-gate of
faIsehood upon all who do not wor-
ship at the Capital shrine, and keep
ing it open; and Douglass and his
rabble breaking down the state
house doors and-but this is
cnough-all these base acts they are
excusing. jeff Davis excused the
assanation of the grand Lincoln, by
saying: IF it must be done, it
were we'll that it were well done. :"
II they must lie, their experience
is such that it will be well done.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-03-16

During the campaign last summer
and fall, the whole Republican phal-
anx were busy sanding up for Kan
sas. They stood up for Kansas in
various, devious and grievous ways.
The way of come county clerks was
to make false election returns, and
some election boards resorted to the
time-worn method of counting out
the Populists by substituting Re-
publican for Populist tickets. The
Republican state canvassing board
introduced the lottery plan, behind
closed doors, with none but Repub
licans present. Then, later, they
tried conspiracy against the peace
of the state, and as there were not
enough of the conspirators to stand
up solidly, they imrorted thugs from
L1C CLUES WlCIllU uuu OuC Vi hduSdo,
and then the Republican chief, with
rabble at his heels, stood up for
the state by hammering down the
doors of the state house and now,
the last and greatest effort at stand
ing up for the state is the supreme
gall of the chief Annanias of the
stand ups publishing, in pamphlet
form, his foul screed against Cover
nor Lcwelling, to be used in future
campaigns as an electioneering
document-a screed foul as an I'M
cleansed ulcer, and disgusting as an
offal pit. These stand-ups are
clearly lot of political charlatans.

The Dayton, Ohio, Journal of
March 18th is nothing but bitter
screed against the new administra-
tion and all connected with it. A
spirit of low devlishness is apparent
in every paragraph in which the
least reference is made Cleveland,
his cabinet or any of his appoint
ees. If Bickham had been born
and raised in the far South, he
would to-day be much meaner reb-
ell than ever was Bob Tombs or any
one of his hind. He is malcon-
tent of the most pronounced type,
and can see no virtue or patriotism
in anything but the thoroughly-ex-
posed robber laws and their credit
ors and their defendants. His
malevolence must have an outlet
still we think his readers must be
getting very tired of his bitter
vaporings.

4 Machine That Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Every Hour.
There are various rumors and tales
floating about town among those in the
business concerning some wonderful ma.
chinery over on the west side of the city
in a certain monstrous bookmaking es-
tablishment.
The novel machine" is a large wei
press similar to the kind newspapers are
printed on. but arranged to take curved
~electrotypes of each page of a book in
stead Of a single large metal cylinder
casting. There are two cylinders. or
each Of which IA pages may be screwed,
and AS the long strip Of paper goes
through, first II side is printed and Their
h other, making it possible to print 2ss
pages at every revolution. The strip Of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink, is cut, folded and
brought together i'll the shape of a small
volume. with the edges all trimmed. Ev-
cry time the great cylinder goes round a
novel Is printed. folded and trimmed. and
5000 OF these are turned out every hour,
while. If it We're necessary. 1000 or 5000
might be the quota.
From he printing press these books
are carried to a little machine that looks
like a sewing machine. and Two wire
stitches are taken in the back of each.
The stitched volumes are then carried to
the covering machine. where they are put
side 10 side in IA long feeding trough. At
the end of this is a little compartment
large enough to take a book, carried on
an endless chain running over wheels at
each end. Indeed. there are a series of
little compartments on this chain, and
as the chain moves along ZACH one re-
ceives a book. As the book proceeds a
wheel running in a gluepot presses
against its back. smearing it with glue.
A little further along there is a pile of
covers that comes up at just the right
moment, leaving a cover sticking to the
gluey back of the book.
In this way SO books can be covered
every minute. Two hundred and fifty
thousand OF these paper covered novels
are thus turned out every two weeks, and
extra editions of $1,000 or so are often
worked in besides New York CONNER
