Meeting at Marion.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-The People rally
at this place on Saturday, October Twas
one Of the most successful rallies ever
held in the coun9y. The people gath.
cred expecting to hear Mrs. Lease, but
as it turned out that she could not be
here, the committee procured Governor
LSwelling, Ex-Governor Willitts and
State Superintendent Gaines, Judge
Dostsr occupied place on the platform
with these gentlemen.
Central Park had been fitted up with
q large tent and seats for 1000 people.
It was soon learned that the seating ca
pacity was inadequate and it was greatly
enlarged. Hundreds were compelled to
stand. For four hours and q half these
gentlemen held the audience with the
closest attention. The disappointment
Of the people at not hearing Mrs. Lease
was great but it was apparent that
everyone was glsd that he had come none
the less. The speeches were fOrciblo,
logical and just the kind inquiring
minds like.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-10-11

At night there were about the same
number Of people present. Many
farmers remained in town, but
the audience was about three-fourth
republicans from the city. The Same
gentleman addressed the crowd in
the evening. The republicans gsvSfully
as good attention az the farmers had
given in the afternoon. At the close OF
the governors evening speech, Hon. q.
w. Hocb, speaker pro tom Of tho Doug
lass house, undertook TO place the gov
ernor on the witness stand. It was
apparent at the start that the legislator
had a big job on his hands, and
the crowd yelled with delight
as tho governor parried his blows and
HoCh retired completely routed. HoOhs
conduct was severely denounced by Pop.
ulists and republicans alike.
Governor Willis remarks in the even
ing were devoted largely TO the point
thstit is the interest Of the business man
Of the towns to stand shoulder to shoul-
der with the farmers. Perhaps no speech
ever made in this community by Popu-
list was so thoroughly appreciated. All
Of the gentlemen did themselves and che
cause great good by their speeches. The
couty campaign will begin at once.

The State Fair,

Although favored with q week Of
bright, pleasant weather, the eleventh
annual state fair in Topeka last week
was not brilliant success. No fair out
side Of Chicago has been successful this
year. The attendance here, however,
was larger than at any other fair west Of
st. Louis this year.
The failure Of the old management TO
pay it's premiums in full last year was a
serious obstacle to overcome. Exhib-
itors could scarcely be induced TO COM
pete when the prospects for both
premiums and visitors were 90 bad. With
less capable management the fair would
have been complete failure. As it was
the receipts are only about $4,000 behind
the expenses.
The most serious mistake made was
that Of advertising prominent political
speakers before being assured that they
could be present. Peoples party day
brought q great many Populists to the
city, but on learning that the speakers
advertised would not be present, most Of
them stayed away from the grounds.
However, a fair audience was there to
hear Mrs. Krekel, OF Missouri, Prot.
Gaines and Fred ]. Close. Gov. Level
ling was attending the ST. Louis silver
convention.
The machinery exhibit was limited. A.

Of the hedge. Windmills are represented
by Topeka and Perkins mills.
The Page woven wire fence occupied
space with the machinery, and Its merits
were explained by q local agent. Their
home Office is Adrian, Mich.
An sppreciAtive crowd surrounded the
Farmers' hay press Of Kansas City, and
watched the operation Of bailing hay.
The Aurora Qn.) Road scrsper and
Grader Company exhibited one Of their
popular machines.
The hogs were confined to the three
leading breeds, Berkshires, Poland
China and Chester Whites. The Berry
ton, Kas., stock farm took all In sight on
the first, it's premiums sggregating e112.
G. J. Higgins, WGmegO, and the Walt
mires, Of CarbondRle, divided the prem
iums on the Chesters, while W. II.
Underwood, Hutchinson, and j. H.
SsyleS, Norcstur, Kaa, divided money
and honors in Poland Chinas.
The sheep pens were all filed with fine
specimens. Samuel JeWett, Lawrence,

premiums on long Woola II. GlasOock,

from our shOreS, ana leaves US IN the
condition Of the people Of Ireland who
toll to support an RristoCracy who spend
their revenues in the foreign and distant
cspitols Of other nations.
Seventh-ThRt we call aloud and upon
every party and pursuRsion to join US in
repelling the imputstion and sssump-
tion that we cannot have q currency
aside from the will and dictstion Of
Europe, as akin to the Hsmiltonisn idea
presented at the birth Of our govern
ment; that our institutions must be
modelled after those Of England, and
that in our estimation q currency con-
fined to our limits and territory would
be uniform and auctustinG by reason Of
it's non-lisbilitY to withdrawal, and such
q currency would constitute protective
tariff that all could approve, since our inn
ports would necessarily be limited to our
exports, and the vexed problem of the
balance of trade would be solved. But
above all we invite the friends Of re-
publicanism, Of whatever name, to unite
with us In resisting the foreign invasion,
which, through corporate greed, assaults
our national liberties by usurping our
lands, monopolizing our highways (rail-
roads), absorbing our wealth, Seizing our

Eighth-We are now rssping the re-
suits Of q quarter Of q century Of suicidal
legislation in the depression and ruin Of
all the industries Of the country; and
while Populists take little satisfaction
in that they have protested against such
Legislation for long years, and been
abused, insulted and traduced for 30
doing, they continue to demand more
money to enable the people to pay their
debts and discharge their membranes,
to transact the business Of the country
and revive trade, and that scarce money
means dear money that will buy more
and more Of the products Of labor two
bushels of wheat instead of one, and six
Of corn instead Of three, and two days
work Of the toilsr instead Of one), and |
this means falling prices, business de-
preston, enforced idleness, men unem-
plOyed and the tramp abroad in the
land.
Ninth-We have repeated evidence Of
the mingled hatred and contempt Of
overgrown wealth and corporate mag
mates for democratic institutions, and
their utter defiance Of the will Of the
people as expressed in legislation, and
therefore we view with alarm the con.
centrstion of ZIG different corporations
in one great railroad Of the country (the
Pennsylvania rsilrosd) and 80 Of most
other corporations Of every description,
and the monopoly Of the coal lands Of
the nation by such corporations; and
therefore We declare eternal hostility to
any party or statesman who will not
exercise his or it's utmost efforts to rec
tlfy or suppress these unparalleled
wrongs against the body pOlitic and the
family Of man.

Sublimity on Pixies Peak.

One of the sublimest effects in nature
is occasionally seen by those who climb
the tall and isolated peaks of the Rocky
mountains in Colorado. The dryness of
the air and the strong heat of the after
noon sun cause rapid evaporation from
the brooks, springs and snowbanks on
the mountain sides, and this moisture,
rising on the warmer air. condenses as it
reaches the cooler, thinner atmosphere
about the mountain top. The traveller,
looking down, sees clouds literally form
ing below him and growing thick and
black every instant, so that as they
reached his level they roll skyward and
in huge masses of vapor that eclipse the
view and bury him in darkness. Light
ming occasionally leaps from the clouds,
and mountain top is IA particularly bad
place to be in at such time. The stone
signal service station on Pixies peak has
been nearly wrecked by lightning more
than once.--New York Sun.

Near Dayton, Or, there is well 10
cally known as the well of frozen air"
In drilling it stratum of frozen clay

sharp gusts. The escape of the air from

bushels per acre, while those that We're
not transplanted only produced a06
bushels. The transplanted onions also
ripened several weeks before the others
and were of more uniform size. better
in quality and more attractive to buy
ers when placed upon the mar,.e:. The
method of transplanting is easy. Holes
are made across the field with a sharp
instrument by one man. and another
follows quickly to insert the onions in
the holes. A third person comes along
and places the onions one inch deep and
presses the soil firmly around them. The
work is then finished, and one can de-
pend upon good crop. This is called
the new onion culture.
