Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-09-14

TWENTY EIGHT of the past thirty
two years the Republican party has
ruled the country. The laws under
which we live are Republican laws,
and whatever of evil we are now
suffering from unholy laws can be
fairly charged to the Republican
party. This being a fact it is really
amusing to see Republicans squirm
when their attention is cited to the
fact that it is not Democratic legis-
lation that has brought such fearful
woe upon che country. God knows
the Democratic party has sins
enough to answer for, and it is eX
tremely cowardly to attempt to put
upon the party that of which it is
not guilty. But we cannot expect
anything better from Demo crazy
than Republicanism has given us.
The vacillating conduct of leading
so called Democratic statesmen since
Inauguration day gives unmistakable
evidence that greed will hold the
balance of power until Cleveland
and the rotten party he represents
are retired. With both the old par
ties greed grows apace. For the
sake of good government they must
be sent into retirement and new
order of things instituted. For this
the people are making preparations
and 1896 will ring the knell of un-
thinking party servitude.

For long series Of years, Demo-
Gratis have exhausted the vocabulary
of epitaths IN heaping excavations
upon old John Sherman, and now,
the stool-pigeons of the party who
are following in the wake of the
stuffed prophet are down on their
knees worshipping him as devotedly
as does the Hindo his Juggernaut
The cohesive power of wholesale
plumber has brought them together,
and it will hold them firmly to one
line of action. John Sherman, like
the Democratic party, has outlived
his usefulness. Had he died when
he was a patriot-when, like Leoni-
das. he stood in the breech between
a vandal horde and gathering patri-
OTIS, his name would be revered by
posterity; but he has a record-a
record covered with infamy-an in
fanny so damnable as to obscure
every patriotic act. Benedict Ar
nold's name is by-word.

Can the Peoples party expect the
Democrats to support their ticket
when the organs of said party IN
dulge in SUCH ignominious lying
about the president? This same
organ drove the Democrats away
from the ticket in 1891, and caused
Bob Avres' defeat, and it will cause
the defeat of the entire People s
party ticket this fall. No voter who
has his manhood will be insultcd by
such low lying class of newspaper
men.-Garnett journal.
Tn another article, same column,
Bro. Highley draws on his magma
tion for fuel to feed the flame OF
preiudice in the minds OF the Demo-
Gratis (?) of his ilk, and in his frenzy
he fairly yells for Democratic
ticket and platform with three
main planks in opposition to prohl-
bition, high protection and woman
suffrage. He don't mention silver,
finance, land or transportation ques-
tions, so probably he would keep
silent on those questions. The
trouble with Tom is that he wants

is in a very unenviable position,
certainly. He wants to please
Grover and the gold bug gang, and
he'd like to continue in the good
graces of the Western Democrats.
His continual Topping and fiounder'
ing and pandering to the baser ele-
ment of humanity has Disguised the
decent, honest Democrats and men
of all parties. He has no influence
with the better classes. All know
that his every move is to secure the
the postoffice A few days ago, he
wanted fusion, but he saw in the
daily papers of the 9th inst. that
Senator Martin is about to denounce
fusion and renounce all allegiance
to the men who elected him to the
senate, and as Tom depends upor
Martins influence to secure thu
postoffice, he concluded he'd bette

not. we propose to tell the truth.
We are unlike George Washington
we could lie, but we won't. And
while we're talking about booze IN
high life, we will state that John
G. Carlisle, secretary OF the treas
urv is a notorious drunkard and
libertine, and about the time Grover
was taken to Buzzard's Bay, Car
Isle was con a loot" and was met
by an acquaintance on the street in
Washington. Carlisle occupied
LARGE norton of the sidewalk anC
had both hands full of money. The
friend secured the money and hus
tied the drunken member of Cleve
lands cabinet off the street. Bro
Highley will probably say we lied
again, but we don't care-we know
he says such things just because he
wants the postoffice, and not because
he is worrying about any principle
involved in the matter.
We want to say a word about the
charge that the AGTTAToR defeated
Bob Ayres in 1891. There is not
man in this county who does
not know that Bob was defeated by
the so called Democrats-the Repub
lican aid society--the "stall-warts
of the county. 1t will be remem
bered that $40, $40 and $25 checks
were not so scarce then as now
Tn fact. we have heard several Dem
ocrats (?) say since that time, 'W c
done Bob Ayres up. Well teach
such fellers that they can't have oul
votes if they're goin stand on the
Calamity platform +" 1t was thai
class of voters that defeated Bot
Ayres.
As to the ticket this fall-well
that's in the future There is one
thing certain, however, and that Is
that the true, honest Democrats will
no longer allow themselves to give
aid and comfort to the gang o
gold-bug traitors, who would sci
their souls for few postoffices aho
other little places Of profit. A little
taste of public pap is to them sweet
err than honey, and sniff OF public
patronage has a pleasanter effec
upon their olfactory nerves than TIT
aroma of burnt incense. They''
rather capture few little postoffice
than to occupy front seats arounC
the Great White Throne.
Again we say, the real honest
Jeffersonian Democrats cannot b.
held in line by a few Clevelan'
Demopublicans who are after moth
ing but the spoils.

is after the postoffice, and everybod.

The Jews made a golden calf on
the plains of Sinai, and nearly all
the nation worshipped it. The con-
gress of the United States is schem-
ing to make another golden idol for
the Jews, and it looks like that
august body had so far lapsed into
idolatry that the idol will be made;
but there will arise a Moses, under
whose leadership the great body of
the people will rally, and then there
will be mourning in the tents OF
Israel.

A Washington dispatch quotes
Senator Faulkner as having observed
that the election was but another case
of history repeating itself. Il am of
the opinion, said Mr.. Faulkner,
THAT the result of the elections held
yesterday may be attributed to sew
eral causes. First, the division among
the representatives of the people of
the Democratic party in both branches
of Congress ON so great and impor-
taut question as was before Con-
gress i'm the session just ended result
cd necessarily in some division in the
States TIE uncertainties in refer
ence TO change in the tariff, to some
extent affectin g the business activity
of the country the opinion that had
been incuIcated IN the mind of the
old soldier element that the Demo-
cratic party was hostile to pension
Legislation, the dissatisfaction and
disappointment which always follows
the inauguration of new administra-
ton and the distribution of federal
patronage are the causes which led,
in my opinion. to the results shown
in the elections of yesterday"
When asked what should be the
policy of the Democratic party on the
tariff, in view OF the verdict express
ed by the elections, Mr.. Faulkner
continued: Regardless of this senti-
ment expressed in this vote, the Dem
ocratic party is fully conscious that
they occupy, in the interest of the
~. 81.
position in reference to tariff revision
and its leaders are satisfied that a
practical operation of the revenue
tariff will be fully Endorsed by the
public sentiment OF the country. The
other cause TO which l have referred,
in connection with local matters, has
been more potential in producing the
result of yesterday than the uncer-
tainty which surrounds proposed tar
! iff legislation"

catarrh, Not Local, But Consti
tutionaI.

DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physi-
clan. in n magazine article says: "A radical
error underlics nearly all medical treatment of
catarrh. 1t is not disease of the mans
nose; IT. Is disease of the man, showing it
self in the nose-a Local exhibition of Con-
sfitutional trouble" Therefore, he argues. the
use of snuff aud other local applications is
wrong. and while they seem to give temporary
relief, they really do more harm than good.
Other leading authorities agree with DR..
Lewis. Hence. the only proper method of
cure for catarrh is by taking a constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla. which, reach
ing every part of tie body through the blood,
docs eliminate all impurities and makes the
whole man healthier. 1t removes the cause
of the trouble and restores the diseased mem
brane to proper condition Ihat this Is the
practical result is proven by thousands of peo-
pie who have been cured OF catarrh by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

then reached oyer the fence for his
gun, took hold of it by the muzzle
and commenced to lift it up when

trigger and discharged it, and its
contents were driven into his hand
