pure Peoples party, and will meet
anyone from the lowest up to the high
est, and substsntiste the charge.
Dear ADVOCATE, this scratch is not
burst Of any wild idea Of your CORE
spondent. / am not only supported by
the party Of Miami county, but by the
leaders Of the party in the state from
it's inception; I am disposed to suffer all
these shorter miDgs Of individuals or
our boards in the flesh, and, while l
should do scme hard thinking, would
say nothing were it not for the constant
prosdings / get from Populists when l
leave my rural home to get my mail or
dispose Of some butter and eggs.
If the head wishes the people to stand
by it the head must do as it agreed to-;
if it has made q mistake, which it un-
doubtedly has, all the people want is
that mistake corrected-though the
heavens fall.
It is now "throwed in my face" as
Samantha Allen says, that the late sp-
pointed assistant physician is a POpu-
list" My answer TO that is, "give me
such positions to hand out, and l will
convert every republican in Kansas to
the Populist faith in twenty. four hours
and will not lose q hair from one Of
them"
The action Of the board as to the Rsy-
lum here is looked upon by all Populists
as an outrage on the Populists Of the
state, and worse than that on those Of
Miami county. Many Of the citizens
here as we'll as the writer hereof, have
suffered the outrages of the republican
party for about thirty-dve years and ex-
pected nothing better. We do expect
and will have better treatment OF the
Populists or know the reason for it.
Respectfully, JIM M. KANE.

Rice County,

EDITOR ADvooATE:- A large per
cent. of the people OF Rice
county were here to-day to hear Messrs.
Taubeneck and Snider, who addressed
all who could squeeze into the opera
house.
Mr.. Taubeneck reviewed briefly the
prominent part he played in Illinois
politics when DR.. Moore, Mr.. Cockerel
and himself were elected to the legis-
lRture by the Peoples party and there
held the balance Of power in electing q
United States senator; how for weeks
they held out demanding Peoples SEN
stor and how his two friends finally
yielded and voted for Palmer, who gave
them most specious pledges and prom
ises to maintain their principles in the
senate. Senator Palmer had violated
every solemn pledge he had made and
was now the bitter political enemy of
the people.
Mr.. Tsubeneck is a logical, scholarly
speaker, and has arranged his facts and
statistics in q convincing way.
"Aow to prevent the Capitalization Of
wealth" was discussed. Improved ma
chinery creates wealth rapidly. Three
hours work Of machinery creates the
same wealth that eleven hours Of labor
did. Five million dollars more Of wealth
is created in the United States every day
than is consumed. There is a profit
upon labor, in other words, of that
amount. Who gets it? The wealth, not
the money, OF the United States, is esti-
mated at $65, ,OO0,0O0,OO0. Well known
statistics show that $1,000 men in the
United States own S360O0,OO0,O0O of its
wealth, or more than one-hslf. One
man owns more than do Gil the people Of
four Of our smaller states. Another Is
worth more than the estimated value Of
the entire United States at the close Of
the revolution. The profits Of the pro-
ducer or laborer 60 70 those men through

New York and Kansas City, went into
the hands Of a receiver q few weeks ago
and Kansas City paper at the time
published an interview with their mana
ger. He said;
"During the past year the sudden
withdrawal Of losning capital from the
western and southern states has made il
very difficult for borrowers TO obtain
time loans on real estate, although the
security offered might be Of undoubtsd
value"
It will be seen that he said nothing
about the Peoples party or that il was
more difficult TO obtain money for Kan
sas than other western states. Money
has been withdrawn from circulation
because Wall street contemplated
coup d'etGt, but has not been scarcer
here than in Missouri, Minnesota, or
any other neighboring commonwealth.
The credit Of the state has not been so
badly injured but that the editor of the
Wamego Times advertises nearly $4,000.
600 to lend on real estate at "very res
sonable interest,"" though the latter
statement should be taken with salt.
The truth is that the credit Of Kansas
securities will compare fAvOrsbly with
those Of any other state. The city Of
Wichita recently had some bonds that
she wanted to dispose Of and she had no
trouble 10 sell them ct par almost imme-
diatelY. The way Kansas people have
been misrepresented by republicans the
wonder is that the credit Of the state has
survived in as good condition as it is.---

0sawatomie Asylum.


EDITOR ADvcoATE:-I notice q com
niunicstion in your last issue under the
caption Of Reciprocity" in regard to the
insane asylum at this place, signed by
Orson Stsckwell, one of the long
and true reformers Of Miami county.
The statement made by Mr.. Stackwell
is correct as to the officers and assist
ants at the asylum. The crowning act
of the bosrd-for which Sister Lease fell
in with the two republicans instead Of
the two Populists-wss the appointment
Of Mr.. Webb Gear, of Ossswatomie, as
sistRnt physician at the asylum, stiff
republican, who, at the time Of last falls
election, was in st. Louis studying medi-
cine. The republican management at
the asylum at that time made an assess
msnt of 50 on each attendant of the ssy-
lum and 800 on the head engineer, and
80 on, for the republican campaign fund.
(this can be proven.) Mr.. Gears fare
from st. Louis to OsswRtomie-400
miles-snd back to st. Louis was paid
by the republicans to vote last fall to
crush the present state administration
in it's existence in the shell, and now
Sister Lease reaches down into the "rot-
ten chssm" and with the assistance Of
the two republican members Of the
board, exalts this republican voter on
the-wing to one of the best positions in
the institution.
When Humphrey assumed the reins of
state, he 70 ound Hon. Rube Smith, an
English Importation smUggled into
America, steward at the asylum here,
who had opposed Humphreys nomina-
ton in the republican state convention
and for that act Humphrey asked Cap
tain Smith for his resignation, but the
VRlis 1t Smith refused on the plea that
he was appointed for the "term." But
Lyman's board of charities took Captain
Smiths "aid. de-csmps" from him and
"cut down" on the fearless captain to
that extent that the old republican sim
ner, though aged, bald and gray, was
compelled to wilt under the burning
rays of the chief dynsmiter Of the sun
flower state.
The above incident in the ranks Of
the state house door is given
as an example Of the inherent" power Of
that party to perpetuate it's life in the
state. The Populist members, singly
and collectively, Of the present board,
have the same rules, regulations and
laws-innsteAt preserve the life Of the
power that called it into its official ex-
istence as the Humphrey board had when
it administered the Rntldote to Hon.
Rube Smith. The Influence" that

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few years
1t was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced il in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls

among the people, yet the people by
their votes have retained and reelected
men who legislRte their earnings into
the pockets Of the classes. Railways
are built by the people at an expense
nine times their cost and given to cor
porations who extort unfair profits from
users. Billions Of dollars worth Of land
is given to companies with no adequate
return to the people. National bankers
take 100000 to the government and
the people pay them AZ per cent inter-
est on it and furnish them $4,000 in
bank notes to lend back to them (the
people) at from s to 20 per cent. interest.
Upon an investment Of 100000 the
people give the banker the use and con-
troll Of $4,000 Of their own money and
pay him interest and guarantee the
money to be good. "Paternslism" is the
cry If the people ask the direct control
OF their own affairs, yet the banking sys-
tenn is q most paternd one for the classes
and most internal one for the masses.
There was not a known millionaire or
tramp in the United States thirty years
ago. To-day Jay Gould's pitiful fortune
Of $70,0O0,000 is small in comparison
with Mr.. Vsndsrbilt's wealth, estimated
at $500000,000 since he has coFnered the
coal output Of Pennsylvania.
The laws and system by which this
accum ulRtion of wealth is possible were
pointed out and condemned. Continu.
ing, the speaker said that before change
in the laws occur change Of votes must
occur. It is easier for a hen to lay a
new egg than to purify q rotten one. It
is better to elect the right men than to
clsmor for reform from those now in
power. Do as Kansas did and Ingallsize
representatives who serve corporations
and monopolies instead of the people.
The United States census report Of
1890 was cited. II shows 4, 4,008,0O0 farms
in the United States. The total value
OF all products grown in the United
States annually, including that con-
sumed as well as sold, is $2,2l3,O0O,0OO,
which, divided by the total number Of
farms, gives S552 as the average value Of
the products of each farm per year, OF
Sill for each person estimating fam
lily Of five to the farm, which is about 30
cents per day per person on the farm.
From that must be taken the cost of liv-
ing, clothing, taxes, repairs, implements,
etc., and it is not strange II the interest
can not be raised to pay the mortgage.
It is not "overproduction:" it is a con-
traction Of the money. The wheat crop
is hundreds of millions short this year
yet people will starve with so cent wheat.

Snider followed. Mr.. Snider is we'll

every township in this part of the state.

amines the title to the land, and if satisfied,
takes note and mortgage and Certifes the
amount to the county treasurer, who pays
to the borrower the sum loaned. The
county auditor makes full statement Of
each loan to the county board Of super
Visors. If the security is thought to be not
sufficient, the board may require the bOr-
rover TO give additional security. If he
fails 10 do 80 the loan is declared due and
the county attorney is required TO enforce
the payment. The auditor and his bonds
men must make good any deficiency that
may occur in the transaction.
This plan has been in operation since
1874, and is very successful. The borrower
pays per cent. interest. Counties are re-
sponsible to the state for all the school fund
received by them.
The only expense to the borrower, in
making a loan. is the cost of the abstract Of
title. No person can borrow more than
$1,000. Yours respectfully,
J. B. KNoEPFLRB,
State Supt. Of Public Instruction.
The foregoing letters from the several
states 80 completely upset the theory and

4 PRETTY PICTURE.
Hut Not Realistic the Least Little Hit in
 the World.

Hut Not Realistic the Least Little Bit in
 the World.
 Such romantic pictures as one sees in art galleries of demure, Vatican maidens strolling through the loveliest meadows in costumes fit for a reception or ball. The artists quite revel in satin and silk, tinted slippers, elbow sleeves and falls of lace and it makes the rabid individuals who go in for realism al- most foam in helpless rage
 Look at that picture. Look at it, sayw shouted one of these indignant critics one day, pushing me in front of poetical dream from some aristocratic brush. Isn't that enough to make a person lose faith in his fellow mortals? Why, that artist ought to be 'skied' clear through the roof up to the starry canopy for preaching such a lesson of extravaganza to the women who look at his work. What if they all rush off and array themselves in lowered rose brocade, Venetian point, dancing slip pers and silk hosiery and then prance through a country meadow? Why, great Scott, the bank failures would not be in it! If country meadows were all as Moquette-carpet-lik and clean as this painted one, it would be all right, but trailing over wet clover was never known to improve brocade, and the wreck those pink slippers would be in after a half-acre jaunt, quite shocks me.
 "Brambles have no more considera- tion for point lace than if it were five cent cotton, and while torn flags of flounce waving from various mullein stalks mlght be consid cred ornamental by the cows, their appreciation is not quite educated enough to warrant such extravaganza. It's absurd-pooh!' the enraged critic spluttered. And do you suppose any right-minded girl, with hands as soft and snow-like as this piece of folly, would expose her arms to her elbows in the sun to be freckled and tanned? Why, you know she's have on long gloves an inch thick, now, don't you, and broad hat and a veil, and sunshade and powder-puff in her pocket, and be trying to remem- Der that splendid recipe for sunburn. Oh, want to go off and die hard when l run up against picture like this-it disturbs my uttermost soul"' And the desperate person walked hurriedly off to a still-life study of brass kettles.
 But, oh, it was such pretty picture, girls, anyway.-N. Y. Recorder.
