There is a good deal of unnecessary
ridicule of Gov. Lewellings north and
south railroad project to the gulf. A
deep harbOr and north and south

That is all true but it is not original

That is not true, Mr.. Eagle, and
well you know it. Nobody has ever
suggested road from the North to
the South to be built by the people
until the suggestion came from Gov.
ernOr Lewelling. There has been a
great deal Of talk about deep water

plan has ever been suggested before
looking to the cooperation Of the
states as now advanced by Governor
Lewelling, and it is quite certain that
no former governor of Kansas has
ever suggested anything of the kind.

Those Resolutions.

EDITOR VOICE:-ResOlutions pur.
porting to have been adopted at a
meeting Of the Peoples party club of
Caldwell, denOuncing the Journal
were published in your last issue, and
in the interest of truth and justice we
think you will not refuse Us space to
make reply.
The attack on the Journal by Mr..
Dill is purely personal.
In the first place there were but
four men present at the meeting when
these resolutions were adopted. These
four constitute the sO-called Peoples
party club" of Caldwell. The enmity
of these men was first aroused against
the Journal in our city election last
spring and later by our position
against fusion. Last spring the Jour-
nal supported S. H. Horner for Mayor
Of Caldwell. Mr.. HOrner is a Repub-

Aug. 1.-THE past week has ripened
corn in the bottoms very fast.
j. W. Allen and family visited with
friends and relatives in Kingman
county this week.
1t is a good plan for farmers to save
all the fodder they can. Feed will be
scarce this winter. Hay is not worth
cutting in some places.
We predict that the repeal of the
Sherman bill will not be as easy done
as some seem to think.
We are pleased to know that our
worthy township trustee Yewell
Griffith was nominated for Com.
missioner. Our only regret is, he is
not Peoples party man.
Our merchants report business
rather dull. When the farmers get a
good price for their grain merchants
are doing a good business. When
wheat sells at present prices, by the
time taxes and interest is paid there
is not much left for anything else.
1There will surely be suffering a.
mongst the poor people this winter,
both here and elsewhere. One family
of nine, moved out Of town last week
with nothing to eat and no money.
They camped on the COwskin a few
days, and then went north, did not
know where to.
There will be considerable wheat
Sown here this fall. Some people ex-
pect good price next year.
Corn is good only in spots around
here, and the potato crop Will not be
very big.

A Call For Populist Meetings.

Chairman Breidenthal issued the
following call to-day:
TOPEKA. Kan. Aug. Il. iS93.
To the Chairman Of the Populist Central
Committees in Each County of the state o;
Kansas:
You are earnestly requested to call
a mass meeting Of the Populists and
all citizens who favor bi-metalliSm, to
meet at the earliest possible date, not
later than Monday, August 2l, to pro-
test against any law being passed
other than for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at ratio of l6 to l,
and to forward by wire the action of
the convention to our United States
senators and congressman from Kan
SaS.
JNo. W. BREIDENTHAL, Chairman.
All voters favorable to Bi-Metallsm
are requested to meet at the court
house in Wellington at . o'clock p. m.

to above call.

llcan, but his candidacy was endorsed
by some Of the leading men in both
the Democratic and Peoples party in
this city. His opponent was a straight
Democrat and was endorsed by the
Woods faction" lProhibitioniStS. )
There was no Populist ticket in the
field and we were left TO choose be-
tween two men-nOt parties. The
principles of the Peoples party were
not involved in the contest, and moth
ing could be gained by the Peoples
party from the election of either tick
ct, 1t was wholly and entirely local
affair and the POpulists had nothing
whatever at stake.
We asked Mr.. Dill for a copy of
these resolutions for publication, but
could not obtain them. Mr.. Dill has
not been allowed to mould the senti-
mentS of the Journal to suit his
whims, and this fight is the result.
Last fall he was opposed to fusion, as
was the Journal, since shen a great
change has come over him, and be-
cause the Journal still remained true
to its fixed principles, he attempts to
brand it as Republican paper. The
Journal is, has, and always will be. a
straight POpuliSt paper, but no ring,
combination or caucus of four, will
ever control its voice or cause it to
swerve one inch from its principles.

SENTIMENTS
OF Democratic Newspapers in the South
and West.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
President Cleveland's message fav-
OrS and indOrSeS the Republican policy
of repeal, and entirely ignores the
Democratic policy. If he is right.
the Democratic party is wrong. and
has been wrong for twenty Years. If
he is right, John Sherman and his Re-
publican colleagues are right. The
duty of the Democrats in congress is
plain and easy. The party in the
south must be held together; but it
cannot be held together if the people
become convinced that the financial
policy Of the Democrats is identical
with that of Sherman and the Repub-
lican party"
Lawrence Gazette.
While not unexpected, the views
expressed in President Clevelan ds's
message to the extra session of con-
gress are disappointment to his
western friends. They. are not in &C.
cord with the opinion of a great ma
jOrity OF the Democratic party, which
believes that gold and silver should
stand together as money. This was
lald down by the Democratic nation
al convention In its platform and
there can be no doubt that it express
es the'views )f the mass Of the party.
Topeka Press.
1t ia too bad for the good OF the
country that President Cleveland did
not put in all his time at fishing while
at Gray Gables, and save the public
the infliction OF that goldbug message.
Or, it would have been better still
had he not called the extra session
until September, as he had formerly
planned, and then devoted his mes
sage strictly to the tariff upon the
right side, which he could speak to an
applauding country. Time is entire.
ly too short since receiving the mes
sage by wire this afternoon to review
it in this issue. About all we have
time for is to arise and remark that
we don't like it one bit. And we be-
lieye majority Of congress feel as we
do about it, We nope so, at least. and
trust that they will have the courage
Of their convictions.
Wichita Beacon.
President Cleveland's message to
congress will of necessity prove a
great disappointment TO the vast
number of democrats throughout this
broad land who honestly believe in
the free coinage Of both gold and sill
yer. That President Cleveland is
honest in his convictions that a sim
gle gold standard is essential to a
restoration OF commercial confidence
and that an unconditional repeal OF
the so-called Sherman silver purchas-
ing law is necessary 10 relieve the
present stringency, no man has reas-
