AS THE days go by the Peoples party
chances of electing their entire state
and congressional tickets assumes a
more roseate hue. The people of Kan
sas cannot bring themselves to the
point of supporting a ticket made up
of. lawyers and bankers, with rank
goldbug at the head OF the ticket. They
want an administration for the masses
and not for the classes. And are going
to secure it by electing the Populist
ticket.

THE Republicans of Kansas are max
ing strenuous efforts to make out the
Populist state officials a corrupt body.
In every issue the Topeka Capital pub
fishes a tale of woe-lies made of whole
cloth-without regard for truth or de-
cency. A campaign, such as they are
making, bears evidence of the anxiety
under which they are laboring. 1t is
the last desperate rally in the face of
certain defeat.

WITH the initiative and referendum
the people could get what laws they
want and reject what they didn't want.
This system would abolish "the house
of lords,' trusts, monopolies and the

this system which would put the power
of government where it belongs the
hands of the people.

box with the Peoples party.

Currency Roforrn.

The most important feature Of Mr. Carlisle

rency reform. In the course OF which the
administrators plans for n new system of
currency are set forth In detail. Mr. Carlisle

forced until after July /, 1895.
"But there is reason TO believe that the

early date and continued upon q scale
which will yield large revenue from that
source during the remainder OF the year. and
