OFFICIAL PAPER OF TREGo COUNTY.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1893.

IT seems as though it were hardly
possible for the republicans to make
a mistake when they nominate {
candidate for governor next year
there are so many good men spoken
of in that connection. Lets see
there are Morrill,, Douglas, Hoch, J.
B. Johnson and George w. Martin.
Either one of these could be elected
and republicans generally would
rally around the standard Of either
one of the list mentioned with more
than ordinary enthusiasm. We have
thought for several years that we
would like to see Major Morrill, gov
ternor of Kansas. Oh, what a con-
trast that would be to the present
imbecile administration. We have
reasons, that are entirely satisfacto-
ry to US, for believing that, all in all,
he is the best gubernatorial material
in the state. His knowledge of public
affairs, his ability and his honesty
makes him our ideal candidate at
this time. Others may have the
same ability and integrity but none
of them has even a small portion of
the experience he has had in public

ACCORDING to careful estimate
the Wilson bill will create deficit
of $50,000.OO0 annually. Receipts
for the past five months have fallen
off $a5, 100000 and if the ratio is
kept up until June 3Oth, the end of
the fiscal year, the shortage will ex-
coed $5O,OOO,O00. This will make an
annual deficit Of $100,000,OOO. Elk
penditures cannot be reduced much
lower than they are now. There
seems to be but two ways in which
the government can provide sufi-
Gent revenue-an income tax or the
sale of bonds. The experiment Of
an income tax was tried by our gov
eminent, as a war measure, and was
speedily abandoned. 1t was the
most unpopular system ever intro
duced and if adopted now will
ALLEVIATE many from the democratic
ranks. If on the other hand $780,
100000 is added to the interest bear
ing debt by the sale of bonds there
is another class within the party who
will bitterly antagonize this system.
1t is an easy matter to reform the
tariff-to use a democratic express
sion-but money to meet the cur
rent expenses of the government
must be provided some way and no
difference which plan may be adopt
ed there will be a determined war
fare within the democratic ranks.

The following from Secretary
Morton is, of course, from a demo.
cratic standpoint but as corrobora-
tive of what the WORLD has so often
said. We herewith give room for
his opinion Of the leaders of the re-
form movement:
"Each one of these fellows uses
only one pillow, and that is his tongue,
and he does not hold that very well,
nor turn up anything very rich and
all his tillage is to get crop of votes
in the fall and as the results Of his
efforts, "a corner Of an office But
Farmers institutes, and, in fact, all
other agricultural organizations
which bring their members together
for the purposes of swapping ex-
periences and discussing the man
economic and general do
nestle affairs Of farm and homes,
he said he zealously approved"

MARTIN MoHLER, who from his
official position, general knowledge
and observation, can speak more in
diligently perhaps than any man in
Kansas, was recently a guest Of the
Kansas City Commercial club and
responded to the toast-"The Agri-
cultural Condition and Outlook of
Kansas" Mr.. Mohler said:
"First-I make the unqualified
statement that Kansas has never
been in better condition than she
is to-day. [ think [ may venture
the statement that Kansas has never
been in as good condition for perma-
nent growth and prosperity as she is
to-day. | mean by this Kansas has
never been so rich in experience be-
fore-she has never had the lessons
Of business methods and business
sense so thoroughly pounded into
her as she has to-day-so deeply
have these lessons been imbedded in
the sub-soil of her being that the
children as they are born bear upon
their foreheads the impress Of the
lesson. Wisdom by experience may
come high. but, gentlemen, it is the
most valuable in the end.
"From one end Of the state to an
other farmers are falling in line.
Chattel mortgages in the past two
years have about all been paid, and
thousands of farm mortgages have
been released, and even this year the
farmers of Kansas are 6quidating,
not mourning indebtedness.
II want to emphasize, gentlemen,
another thought which [ think is
important.
ain my judgment this up and
down and down and up experience
in Kansas is past. She has been
downed for the last time. Profiting
by the very costly experience of the
past she will advance cautiously and
and not lift her right foot until her
left foot is planted squarely on the
solid ground. Yes, her progress
may be slower, but it will be sure,
and it will be permanent.
'Now, gentlemen, one thing more.
While it is true that with a wise ad-
justment of agriculture to conditions
in western Kansas, in particular
line, agriculture may be and is made
successful, yet the necessity for
more water for best results has in
duced experimental work in lifting
water from below the surface for
irregating purposes, and the success
of these experiments is surprising,
and indeed they are the most en-
couraging feature of western Kan
sas farm life which has yet been de-
veloped.
ALLOW me to say also that, in
my Judgment, in less than five years
from now the farmers, not only in
western but in eastern Kansas and
in Missouri, where there is sufficient
enterprise, will be irrigating, at least,
so much as a fruit and vegetable
garden. And why not?"

1 new party, but admits that il
might be judieious to amend the
| Omaha platform. The average citi-
zen will doubtless not be able to dis
criminate very clearly between the
necessity for changing the platform
of principles merely or changing the
name of the party and it's princi-
pies at the same time. In either
case it would be an admission that
it was all wrong from it's inception.
We would like to know how the
average populist will regard the
whole business. For three years or
more they have been blind followers
Of blind leaders-the leaders admit
it-and now they are asked to take
another leap into the dark, under a
new name or at least under an
amended platform, but under the
same leaders. Governor Waite says
in letter to Chairman Briedenthal:
81 have received a private letter
from Rightmire Of your city, con-
tanning call which he proposes to
issue for a national convention to |
meet at St. Louis, March 20, 1894,
to organize a new party upon the |
silver issue. | had previously leaned
from the public press Of his opera
tions. [ declined to sign any such |
call, and gave my reasons, which
are in no sense confidential, and are
substantially as follows. The Peo-
pies party was organized July 4,
1892, that is, it's platform was then
adopted. Candidates were nominal
ed and campaign was opened.
at is now coolly proposed by Mr..
Rightmire to whistle this party
down the wind thrown aside every
advantage that has been gained and
organize new party.
"Of course | do not maintain that
the principles enunciated in the
Omaha platform are inspired or in
fallible. It may be judicious ig the
coming presidential election to
amend the Omaha platform. In my
Judgment the men who assembled at
Cincinnati in 1891, and at St. Louis
and Omaha in 1892, were and are
honest men, patriots desiring the
common Welfare. Why not appeal
to the peoples party in national con-
vention assembled, or If greater
haste is necessary, make such an ap-
peal to the peoples party national
COMMITTEES as shall warrant them to
call preliminary national conven-
ton to consider what changes, if
any, shall be made? Our national
would have full authori-
ty to amend the platform, and it's
recommendations would doubtless be
adopted, the present organization in
all the states preserved, and the great
army already arrayed in opposition
to Wall street unified; but the prop
osition to destroy our present organi-
zation and create a new party d.
vides our forces and perhaps destroys
our last hopes Of success. However
honest or we'll intentloned these
marplots may be, they could not,
even if they were in the direct pay
Of Wall street (which | don't
CHARGE, cause a more deadly injury
to the people than by it's attempt to
destroy the peoples party" Il

We have it from pretty good au-
thority that Cove county will have
a candidate for place on the re-
publican state ticket next fall. We
have not learned who it is, but if he
is the right material, Trego county
can be depended upon to help it's
neighbor county.

The Presidents message will be
found in full in this issue Of the
WORLD. It is not such document
as we expected, but it is decidedly
tedious and dreary. He favors re-
storing the queen of Hawaii; favors
tariff reform but is rather ambigi-
Gus as to just how this shall be done;
recommends an income tax; does
not outline the financial policy Of
the administration, but gives silver
men to understand clearly that they
need hope for nothing. While the
message is voluminous it is lacking
in vigor, force and strength.

Our farmers and workingmen
will doubtless hail with more than
ordinary pleasure the fact that the
democratic tariff bill, as now propos-
ed, reduces the tariff on champagne
and imported cigars materially, while
paintings, diamonds and statuary
are on the free list. Workingmen
generally, who have been thrown
out Of situation on account of
mills and factories closing down, as
result Of threatened reductions,
can now console themselves with
the knowledge that the articles
specified above will be cheaper than
ever before, while common whisky
and ordinary cigars and tobacco will
remain about as they have been.

To read our daily papers the av-
erage person weuld be likelyto infer
that the chief end of our colleges
and universities was to teach their
pupils to play football. Baseball
once our national game-has almost
gone glimmering with '.After the
Ball" and "McGinty." We believe
in physical culture both at home
and at our institutions of learning,
but there is such a thing as carrying
it to extremes.

LIZZIE BORDEN'S TRIAL
A Sensational Murder Case Commenced
Yesterday.
THE EVIDENCE is cIRcUMsTANTIAL
Accused of Numbering Her Father and
Stepmother at Fall River
Last August.
J EVIDENCE IS CIRcUMsTANTIAL

New BEDFORD, Mass, June 5.-The
trial of Lizzie Borden of Fall River,
charged with numbering her father, An
drew jackson Borden, and her step
mother, Abby Durfee Borden, an aged,
wealthy and highly respected couple, on
the morning of August 4th, 1898, began
here this morning. The most eminent
criminal lawyers of the state are en-
ployed, and the trial promises to be
most interesting and probably sensa-
tional. The evidence is purely circum-
stantial. On the day in question, as far
as is known, the only persons in the
house were the old couple, Lizzie and a
maid servant, Bridget Sullivan, who
was outside most of the morning wash
ing windows. Borden was out in the
morning, returning between 10 and IL
O'Clock, and it was only short time
afterward that Lizzie, after short visit
to the barn, called to the servant to run
for the doctor as her father had been
murdered. Shortly afterward Mrs.
Borden was missed, and search re-
vealed her body in an upper room, she
having evidently been killed some time
before her husband. In both cases
death resulted from blows from some
heavy, sharp instrument, probably an
AK, but the instrument of death has
never been discovered. A certain dis
crepancy in Lizzie's stories and some
other suspicious circumstances led to
her arrest some weeks atterward and
subsequent indictment.

spokane Bank Closes.

SPOKANE, June 5.-The bank OF
Spokane Falls temporarily closed its
doors this morning. The suspension is
taken quietly. There is no run on the
other banks.
The Bank of Spokane Falls was organ
lied in 1879, and is the oldest bank
north of Snake river. 1t has always
been considered the strongest and safest
bank in Eastern Washington. The
hard times of the past year or so in
Spokane, it is thought, has placed the
bank in tight fix for ready money. A.
M. Cannon, the president of the bank,
was an old-time resident of Portland,
and has been long known and identified
with the welfare of Spokane. He has
many and diversified interests in that
country and is reputed to be million
aire.
Bascomb H. Bennett, the cashier of
the bank, and son-in-law of Mr.. Can
non, is also well known in this city,
where he was raised.
The bank has paid-up capital of
$150,00O and surplus of $125, 900.
There has been no statement made of
the liabilities and assets.

York yesterday with his family on the
steamer La Bourgoyne. Referring to
the Behring sea tribunal at Paris, Cool
idge said last night to Tribune re-
porter: ''Mr. Carter opened the dis
cussion for the United States in an ex-
ceedingly brilliant speech, in which he
claimed that seals were not really wild
animals, but that they could he herded
just as oxen can be herded, and that
they live on our property all but few
months in the year, and never mixed
with other herds. The English, on the
other hand, rest their case on the old
three-mile rule, and feel that they have
the law on their side. Russia is taking
no part in the discussion. The forgeries
in the American case were so promptly
disavowed and withdrawn that they
have not prejudiced our case at all. In
order to decide in our favor the tribunal
will have to put in the law some new
principle of International law, and I
think there is very fair prospect of
their doing this. The new law formu-
lated by them would undoubtedly be
approved by all the nations. Even if
they should decide against US, they will
probably devise some means by which
the seals can be protected and preserved,
such as a closed season for instance"

F1eeing FROM cholera.

CoNsTANTrNoPLE, June 5. = Reports
from several cities of Asiatic Turkey say
that the cholera has appeared in many
districts and is spreading rapidly.
Along the lower Tigris and the Shat-El-
Arab rivers the people are dying by
thousands. Whole villages have been
deserted by those fleeing from the pest.
The panic has become SO great that few
families wait to bury their dead, or even
to nurse their sick, but flee to the next
towns to escape the infection. The
fugitives from stricken towns are spread
ing the epidemic with appalling rapid
ity. Letters from Bassora City say that
10000 persons have fed from Bassora
province alone.

CHICAGO, June 5.-On the board of
trade wheat worked off more than a
cent, touching the lowest figure reached
in this market in very many years.
Large receipts in the northwest, fiat
cables, increase on ocean passage and
fears of further failures are the princi-
pal causes.
1t was wild day. Failures and ru-
mors of failures followed each other
thick and fast, causing panic among
traders. At one time July wheat sold
down to 65zs cents, declineof nearly 8
cents. At the close there was reac-

New YORK, June 5.-Rev. DIR. Lyman
Abbott, in his sermon on the Briggs
case yesterday at Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, endeavored to prove that DIR.
Briggs, and not the general assembly,
during the last two years had defended
the true Christian faith, and that it was
not DIR. Briggs who was heretical, but
the general assembly was the one whose
logical result was infdelity. DIR. Alb
bott spoke of the battle which had gone
on from the days of Moses down to the
present between ecclesiastics and the
prophets, the one maintaining that the
institution is the essential thing and the
other that the individual personal life is
the essential thing, and there could be
no religious institution without. He
exclaimed: "Heresy What is heresy

not the father of all mankind, and leaves
no door of access to himself save the one

pleted till the human race had 1onged
