The democrats can kill the people s
party by enacting every law demanded
by the populists and by no Other
method. 1t was reform, not Grover

Kansas has fully demonstrated her
claim to first place as Il wheat produc-
ing state. Last year we produced a
total of 1858. 900 bushels. Indiana
was our strongest competitor, hut she
fell $4,000 900 behind the Kansas
mark California was 100000 be-
hind, while both the Dakotas combined
did not reach the Kansas figures by
nearly 100000 bushels. But the
wheat business in Kansas is only in its
infancy. We could produce five times
100000 if deed Hutchison

If the populist party in Kansas is to
survive. populist newspapers must be
sustained by the party. In the dis
pensation of patronage by the state
administration these newspapers must
be remembered, and in the counties
the local papers must be given a fair
chance for existance If publishers
are compelled to trade around with
the political enemies of the party that
they may keep the wolf from their
door, party success is not sure nor can
the party be kept intact. Wichita

Parents who expect their children
to grow up without knowledge of
the evils that are in the world are
making great mistake. The father
should instruct and warn his sons,
the mother her daughters. Many
children become the victims of vile
habits because of ignorance. The
mock modesty which closes the mouths
of parents to certain: important physi-
illogical and sexual facts, and leads
them to reprobate the newspaper
which sometimes finds it necessary to
speak out plainly, is, to put it mildly,
terrible mistake. Scranton Times.
Senator Sherman is becoming prosY
and tiresome. His assertion that sill
yer is deprecated because to much of
it has been produced is silly and
childish. An ounce of silver will pur-
chase now as much Of 200 commodities
as it would twenty years ago. The
immense silver production of the Com
stock and Leadville did not depreciate
the price of silver. 1t is the enchance-
ment of the price of gold by Wall
street and European shylocks which
depresses silver. rhe American peo-
pie will get their work in on the gold
bugs by-and-by. The crash will come.

The poor fellow whose necessities
have driven him to strain the law is
accorded little mercy from the courts
Though starvation doomed up about
him, mercy is absent. He is one OF
the mudsil,s-the under strata Of
society, and must be kept down while
the one that steals millions according
to law is hoisted on the pinnacle OF
fame and given front seat in the
mammon serving churches. Hunger
impels the one to commit petty
theft, and avarice, the Other one to
steal thousands. The petty thief be-
comes felon, and the despoilers of
widows and orphans is lionized and
honored by the unthinking mass

1t is to the credit of the republic of
Hayti that it Is in advance of any
other foreign country in the compile

United States will view with no slight
attention such evidence as the colored |
republic may give of its PROCESS in the
arts of civilization The history of
Hayti, as known to the outside world,
has been chiefly marked by. inter
necine conflicts and revolutions. and
it will be of interest to note what the
Haytians have been able to do for
themselves in the intervals between

climate and rich natural resources,

The supreme court of Kansas has
done very sensible thing-apart
from legal considerations deciding
that a man does not have to be a
lawyer or know anything about law to
be recognized as prosecuting attorney.
