teen miles from Richmond, Va, de-
stroyed the following stores with their
contents: George Nixon, drugs; Ma
rian Leake, dry-goods and groceries
D. B. Cox, groceries, and Ford Bros
groceries. Mrs. Sinclair's millinery
store and Mrs. Ratcliffe's dwelling
house were also burned, little being
saved from either. An engine was
sent from Richmond to Ashland, which
rendered great assistance in subduing
the flames. The fire is supposed tc

loss is estimated at $50, 900 and insur
ance $4,000.

CONGRESS WILL meet one week IRON
next Monday, but what it may or may
not DO is what as yet no man can tell
There is no doubt that the silrerites in
both houses will oppose the repeal OF
the bill by which the Treasury is now
compelled to buy four and half mil,
lion ounces of silver bullion every
month. to the utmost extent of their
by no means insignificant power, unless
the substitute be free silver coinage, to
which their opponents, of course, can
not be expected to agree. The result,
therefore, can not be foretold. One
fact, however, is plain to be seen, and
it is that any attempt on the part OF
the United States TO make any thing
else than gold the standard of value,
against the united opposition of all
the other commercial nations of the
world, must necessarily fail.

THERE CAN be no reasonable doubt
of the right of any government to ex-

why Industrious and peaceful Chinese,

The double dealing of the News in
relation to the Democratic ticket has
disguised the Democrats Of the county
and they are not slow to charge that
doodle" is behind its actions. While
1t has had standing advertisement
that 1t would abide by the action of the
convention, feeling certain that enough
Populists could be smuggled in to carry
the thing for fusion. When IL found
the sentiment so strong against Popu-
llsm that ticket was demanded and
secured, II could find no space to say
that 1t was for the ticket. The Dem
ocracy OF the News is one of those
peculiar qualities which no man can
define or find out and its waning
political influence Ii the direct result
Of It's cratic aud unprincipled course.

Disreputable and Anarchistic.

There has gone out from headquar.
ters Of the Populist party Of Kansas a
secret order, probably the most disrep-
utable and inferentially the most
anarchistic ever put forth by that hot.
bed of unfairness and anarchy. 1t is
such an order AZ bears on the face Of 1t
evidence Of an intent to rob the people
of their franchises and their rights. 1t
means dishonesty and fraud. 1t means
a repetition Of the scenes at Topeka
last winter only with the Populist
gang more firmly entrenched and pre-
pared to overthrow the verdict Of the
people In the constitution Of the
legislature.
That order is that everything shall
he sacrificed by the Populists in order
to elect the county clerk. The reason
ia because II is intended to have the
county clerk falsify) the returns one
year hence and give the Populists the
organization Of the house whether they
have the members TO warrant II or not.
There is no denying that such an order
has been sent out or that its purpose is
as stated.
1t is an Infamous and desperate at
tempt TO steal legislative body which
they know they are not likely to hon
orably secure. 1t is presuming alto
gether too much upon the people of
Kansas to supp ose snch plan will
succeed. The people of this State saw
the style Of leaders in charge of the
Populist party, They realize that
nothing is too unmanly, too low, too
desperate for them to undertake. They
will stoop to chicanery that the most
depraved political boss in the back
wards of the large cities would not be
guilty of and this latest plan is on a
par with their other actions. 1t will
miScsrry as 1t deserves to do.

Close Counties.

While this is In a sense an "off''
year II Is In many counties Of the
State most important one. There
are several counties in which the Re-
publican majorities need strengthIng
in order TO carry all the ticket through.
In 10 others where the Populists we're
entirely successful last year fraction
Of the gain made In 1892 will make all
Of them Republican.
In Bourbon we gained 306 votes last
fall and thirty more would change the
county TO the Republican side; in But
Ter we gained 219 votes and twenty six
more will make 1t Republican; in
Cowley we gained 76l and six more
will make IL Republican; In Greenwood
we gained 1884 and twenty four more
will give us the county; in Linn our
gain was 1874 and twelve more will
carry the county; In Lyon the Repub-
lican gain was sos and seventeen more
will make II Republican; In Mcpherson
we gained $50 and need sixteen more
to carry the county; in Miami we
gained 470 and want twenty more from
the fusionists TO carry 1t; In Ness the
Republican gain was l22 and we need
forty eight more to make the county
safe; In Norton we gained 372 and
have only nineteen votes to get; in
Pawnee we gained 1879 and need only
twelve more TO carry 1t; in Rocks we
gained 800 and need nineteen more and
in Rush we gained l6l and must win
over only twenty four more to make it
Republican.
These figures are instructive and
show that Kansas Republicans have no
time to sleep. The way to win all
along the line ia TO hustle "a hours a
day until November 7th.

Irrigation for Western Kansas.

Next week at Salina will be held an
important meeting, the interstate
irrigation convention. Much good
should be accomplished for western
Kansas by this agitation. Western
Kansas must have better supply Of
moisture IL 1t ever succeeds as an
agricultural section. There is no use
in claiming any thing else. 1t has
been tested at the cost of thousands
on thousands Of dollars and the wear
Ing out Of hundreds Of earnest, hope
full spirits. But the land remains as
before -beautiful to the eye, rich in
fertility but lacking in moisture, aud
about three years out Of four producing
practically no crops. II by any means
sufficient water supply can be found
to irrigate western Kansas thoroughly
the greatest empire on earth would be
possible there. Every effort in this
direction should be encouraged. 1t is
better than inducing immigration only
to have the immigrants disappointed
upon their arrival. The government
thinks nothing of spending few million
dollars to aid some southern cotton
planters or to improve some harbor on
the Maine cost. Let 1t try assisting the
people of the west through irrigation
on the same liberal plan.
