The Pittsburg Dispatch, leading
Republican paper, thus responds to
the demand OF the Eastern gOldbug
press that Democrats and Republi-
cans unite in crushing the few Popu-
lists in congress and the senate. 1t
says:
Any attempt on the part of Repub-
licanS or Democrats, or both, to
deprive the third party Of all the
representation in the senate to which
the last election entities it will prove
pretty poor policy in the long run.
Americans are wont to resent in
justice even from politicians when il
becomes too glazing. And the third
party will surely profit by any proofs
1t can adduce to demonstrate that
either by deals" or steals" legisla-
lures were ''steered" in directions
contrary to the wishes Of the voters
expressed at the polls.
There is a great deal of "high
politics" in the above wise counsel.
The American people love justice and
fair play, and the two old parties
could not do the young free coinage
giant greater favor than to attempt
to ushit."-Ex.

enough money stolen in the erection
Of the present building to put up

question of time when the state
capital must 60 further west. If the
proposition ever gets before the peO-
pie there is no doubt of its being
carried by an overwhelming vote.
The present agitation is of course
due to the strong anti-PopuliSt Senti-
ment in this town, but the plan for
removal will suggest itself to western
Republican legislators who will wish
to build up their section Of the state.
The POpulistS are. expected to vote
for it irrespective of geographical
location on account of their intense
prejudice against Topeka"

POpuIists' Wise Course.
Toledo Daily News, Saturday;

Toledo Daily News, Saturday:
Wise consideration of the interests
of the people and the honor and dig
nifty Of the state has marked the
course of the Populists in Kansas,
They declined a Sanguinary conflict
with the anarchal representatives OF
the money power in order hat the
state might be saved the stain OF
blOOdShed. The Wall-St minority
backed by Doodle enjoys the barren
victory Of sitting in the legislative
hall working on legislation like
children building cob houses. The
POpuliSt majority has a hall outside
the state house and is working in
harmony with the senate and the
governor and other state officers to
push forward public business.
1t was Judge Gresham who said,
during the campaign last fall, that
he had grave doubts if the power of
Wall-St. can be diSlOdged without
bloodShed. Startling words these,
coming from a judge of the United
States court. But we see them veri-
fled in Kansas. We behold the
miniOnS of monopoly, backed by
Doodle and bayOnets, usurping the
rights of the peoples government.
This is indeed an object lesson.
We see a subsidized partisan press
of both parties unfolding the
usurpers. These are indeed object
lessons that set the people thinking,
The Ousting Of such a machine from
control of our national government
did not come a day too soon. All
eyes are turned toward Grover
Cleveland. Will he be able to hold
out against the machine, backed by
Doodle on one side and a pack of
cranks, who expect impossible things,
on the other?

The Monitor calls the silver pur-
chasing act Republican law through

should have voted to repeal it. If
the Monitor had stated that the act
was compromise measure between
free coinage and the total extinction
of silver, and that this repeal move
ment is simply intended to accom-
plish now what the Republicans
failed in when the bill was passed,
the actions of the POpuliSts and

Says the Wichita Eagle: Senator
John Sherman, in speaking against
free coinage of silver and of the fact
that after 1907 there will be no out
standing bonds upon which to base
national bank circulation, is reported
as saying:
why not have the government of
the United States issue its own
money? 1t is the richest nation on
the face of the earth. We reduced in
thirty years war debt Of q billion
dollars to now about ! billion dollars,
and to the amazement Of all nations.
Our credit is renowned. We now do
a national banking business on the
faith OF the government. The same
confidence given to a bond of the
nation ought to be given to the note
it might ssue. The government
should issue its own money!"
When did he say this? Can it be
that old John Sherman is converted?
Are the Republicans trying to get
over on our platform?

The vindicitiveneSs of the Republi-
can press is well illustrated in their
ADJUST of Adjutant General Artz.
They would make people believe that
he is desperate border ruffian and
red-handed criminal, a fugitive from
Justic and rascal generally. In this
as in all their treatment of citizens
who choose to think differently from
them politically, they do not hest
tate to assassinate the truth. The
writer is personally acquainted with
Mr.. Artz, lived just across the street
from him for months, has had deal
lngs with him, canvassed with him,
and know him intimately. He is a
gentleman and good citizen and his
reputation is good wherever he has
lived. Is is true he had a little
trouble at Colorado Springs, and was
fined for contempt of court, but no
one who knew him intimately lost
confidence in him as an honorable
man on that account. He paid his
fine and squared the account and is
again entitled to the confidence of
honorable men until he shall prove by
his acts that he is unworthy. Many
a lawyer has been fined for contempt
OF court, and many have been guilty
OF worse acts than the one charged
against Mr.. Artz that never were
fined, probably because they were in
political sympathy with the presid.
ing Judge, and yet the Republican
editors would have you believe that
this one act should forever damn the
former good character of a fellow
citizen. Time will fully vindicate
Mr. Astz and prove his worth as an
honorable man.

OF INTEREST TO OLD SETTLERS.
Columbus Starr Courier.

One day last week we fell into CON-
pany with an old frontiersman, a man
who saw what is now known as Cher
okee county when it was wild; away
back when there was not hedge
fence in sight, the land being one vast
stretch of prairie upon which thous-
ands of cattle could be seen from al
most any point.
ut was away back in the sixties,
when there wasn't q town of any size
in the county," said the old gentleman.
IL went to Baxter Springs in 1865.
There was no town there, nor no sign
of one. In 1866 I was there again.
They had just begun to build a few
houses. That year and the next every
thing was on rush. The Gulf road
was being built south from Kansas
City. I 1869 came down OIL the cars
to Columbus. The road was finished
only to that place, and staged 1t to
Baxter from there. a few board
shantips was all there was Of Column
bus. These were about the depot and
the prospect for a town was not very
encouraging. believe Judge Fry
lived there at that time, but l am not
sure.
"In 1870 the road was finished to
Baxter. I believe the town at that
time had 1900 people in it and was
lively. l suppose 1t was as wicked Il
town as you can now find anywhere
in the Rocky mountains. 1t was no
uncommon thing for man to be
killed there. remember there were
seven men hanged there one night.
That was along in the high times OF
the place. 1t was the trading point
for all the country, and all the thieves,
gamblers and rough characters. men
and women, gathered there. AT one
time within radius of twenty-five
miles there were six hundred thousand
cattle feeding on the prairies, but the
legislature passed some kind of a cat
Tie law forbidding the driving of so
many and then Baxter began to go
down, until lately they say it's picking
an solue. Charlie Daniels, / under
stand, is booming
Here the old gentleman stopped to
take chew Of tobacco and some one
came along and wanted to speak with
him aside, and that was the end of an
interesting story.
