The Kansas City Times arose yester.
day to remark that "the pension Office
is having a high old time and tht
attempts to cut off the robberies and
plundering which aid in swelling the
slS7 100000 of yearly pensions are
being stubbornly contended against.
Secretary Hoke Smith started in to cut
down pensions $26, 900, 900 a year and
1t 10 to be hoped that he will succeed.
There will be at least 100000, 900 of
plain everyday stealing In the balance
then" This means that in the est
nation Of the Times nearly one half
Of the pensions paid are obtained by
fraud aud perjury. Such is the opinion
that the principal Cleveland organ Of
Missouri expresses of the old soldiers
who fought for the Union. The at
tempt Of Mr.. Cleveland's secretary OF
the interior 60 save money to the gov
eminent by multiplying the pension
laws and undoing the work Of his
predecessors, and suspending pensions
by Wholesale which were granted In

against loyalty, an outrage against
public decency and an insult to thl
hundreds and thousands of brave mer

An Infamous Lie.

Is itu part ola scheme that you RepuOll-
can politicians are playing TO make com
plant before tho pension department ana
have some old oldicrs' pensions suspend' Il
In order that you may announce "another
change" Such a course IL lower down in IN b
moral scale ana more contemplate than Is
the suspension OF the pension.
Another question we would like TO ask you
and that IL, how Il comes that IL Is always q
Democrat or u Populist whose pension Is
suppandedY Some one who has "voted tor Il
change and has now got IT."
Your little game has been discovered and

soldier. but are beneath thu contempt OF old
soldiers and honest men.-lThe Monitor.
There are only two exchanges that
come to our office which are low
enough down in the scale of human
depravlty to make such base, infamous
and false insinuations against the old
soldiers and those who have always,
not by their mouths only, but by their
works and deeds, proven themselves to
be the only friends the old soldiers
have among the political parties of the
present day. One Of these is the
Monitor, the other is the equally dis
reputable and unreliable Clay Center
Dispatch. We undertake. 70 say that the
insinuation that any Republican has
made complaint before the pension
department" or anywhere else, with a
view or thought, or an intention con-
corning the suspension of any soldiers
pension, is as false as hell. And we
under take to say further that the
writer of the above article never saw
nor heard of any such complaint being
or having been made by a Republican,
but that he wilfully, deliberately and
mallciously penned the above infamous
falsehood solely for partisan purposes

sensations would steal an old soldier

STRIP DANGERS.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept 10
Grave dangers will confront thousands
who take possession of the great Chero-
kee strip next Saturday. This fact is
not apparent to those most directly in
terested. II is TO those who are famil-
lar with western prairies and the
obstacles which they present to
pioneers who attempt to transform
them from barren wastes to productive
farms
To-day the Cherokee outlet is plain
sixty miles wide by two hundred miles
long, There is scarcely building
felt the touch Of the plowshare, For
years IL has been used as ranges for
the profit of cattle barons and usually
IT is covered with healthy growth
of nutritious grasses Drought has
withered and dried vegetation and miles
may be travelled without the slightest
signs OF n drop of moisture. In its pres
ent condition the broad acres comprise

fires have Tapped up the rank growth
of dried grass and left the ground black
and bare Nothing can be found In
the borders that will assist In sustain
ing life in man or beast. In most por-
tions fuel is unattainable and water in
the springs and small streams is at its
lowest ebb.
Next Saturday night practically
every quarter section will contain some
occupant Nearly II not all OF them
will build camp-fires with which to
cook much needed meals. That these
fires will spread in those sections where
anything is left upon the surface that
will burn is certain and all old from
tiersmen agree that IL is highly prob
able that long lines Of fire will illumi-
nate the heavens and drive the strippers
onto the ground that is already charred
and barren OF food for the flames.
Without water and the air filed with
smoke and fire, homesteaders will have
hand-to-hand battle for their lives,
unless heavy rain should fall and
thoroughly drenoh the parched earth.
Many of those inexperienced in life on
the plains must lose their lives. I'm

For some incomprehensibl reason
the News feels very much offended and
disappointed that the Republican
county convention, In its resolutions
slighted the Democratic party. Just
why the News should be interested in
the Kansas Democracy is not clear. SO
far as we have been able to discover by
a careful perusal of that paper, II has
not said one word In favor of a Demo.
crat party for more than two years.
For the benefit Of the News we would
suggest that 1t read the last resolution,
Of the convention Of last Saturday.
That strikes at the only opposition the
Republicans of Kansas have met for
three years. II there is any organized
Democratic party In Kansas. 1t must be
modelled after the Pops, and held all
its meetings behind closed doors, with
Its members sworn TO eternal secrecy.
The Republicans never fan the air. In
that iast resolution they strike at the
only tangible, visible enemy anywhere
discernible, and judging from the in
cessant howl which has continuously
waited on the breeze during the past
week. We Judge they sent solid blow
somewhere mighty close where the

practically abandoned their organiza-
ton. At their county convention held
last Saturday they adopted tho follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That this convention shall
be known as the" Citizens convention
and the ticket nominated shall b.
known as the "Citizens' ticket"
