A few weeks ago the report came from
Finney county that the alfalfa louise was
eating up the bloom and would damage
the seed crop, but on further investi-
CATION it proved to be something else
that did not do any damage. A few
blossoms were withered by heat but that
does not seem to amount to much, as
yield of seed is larger that ever. One
farmer reports thirteen bushels to the
acre.

Extracts from report OF Labor Com
missioner for 1889:
Number of women employed in fac

Wages paid range from 90 cents to 81
per day; average, IS cents. Average

In commenting upon the employment
of women in these factories, the labor
commissioner uses the following lam
guage:
public sentiment can only be
aroused in opposition TO great wrongs
by exposing them. Slavery could never
have been abolished had not the con-
science of the nation been quickened
by the exposure of the horrible details
of slave life; and so the horrors OF fac
tory life. Slavery itself is scarcely
more degrading, its horrors scarcely
more revolving, and its effect scarcely
more damaging to good morals and
good government. than Is fast becoming
the result by the displacement of men

facts may hencefOrth Oe covered up.
Such is the condition of affairs in Nc

A FEW months ago some of the most
prominent populiSts in the county told
the writer that they hoped the demo
Gratis would nominate straight tickets,
from state down, so as to draw the
party lines true and distinct" Yet
today some OF those same men are bit
terly denouncing the democrats for do
ing just what they professed to want
done. Inconsistency and unfaitbful-
ness to pledges or friends were large
factors in the disruption and over
throw of the republican party, and the
same things are today working against
the populist party. Our advice to
these men is: Quit blufing and play
politics.

The republicans in Kansas are this
year making the most desperate fight
In the history of that party to capture
the state; and especially are they desir-
Gus of getting the national representa-
lives. The most of their efforts are
being concentrated upon the election
of congressman in the varions districts,
and representatives in the various
eounteis. Remembering the past, and
the treatment the republican party has
given the democratic party during the
long CONTROL Of republicanism, no self
respecting democrat can give that life
long enemy any encouragement in this
the hour of republican travail No
conscientious democrat can vote to send
any republican to either branch of our
national congress. By keeping Kansas
republicans out of the house and senate
of the United states. Kansas democrats
can accomplish much in the way of
preventing a return to McKinleyism
and all its attending evils. Should
there be any democrats in Barton
county who have for moment thought
Of aiding McKinleyism we earnestly
hope they will pause and consider we'll

FROM their own former experience
with the lottery boodlers and policy
shops the republican managers are ably
prepared to work up the charges they
are making against the populist admin
istration. The thing for all decent
voters to do in order to keep the state
out of the hands of either gang, is to
vote the democratic ticket. Jim Leg
ate never could break into the demo-
cratic party; Cy Leland nor Bill Buchan
could not gain pulp with David
Overmyer as governor; and Pete Kline
could rot in a st. Louis felon's cell till
the end of time before he could work
schemes with democratic state admin
istration. "a plague on both your

JAMES W. CLARKE will make a
county attorney whom the people will
have confidence in. No one charges
him with being a knaye and hypocIit,
as they do one of his opponents. No
one has for moment questioned his
ability to at all times be equal to the
task OF looking after the interests of
the tax payers, as they do his other
opponent. He will run away ahead of
his ticket where he is best known. for
the people generally recognize that he
is the best of the three candidates for
the position. His republican opponent,
hardened in sin and slick in subterfuge,
will make every effort possible to fool
the voters into the folly of voting
against Mr.. Clarke; but we hope such
efforts will fail. The populist candi-
date is making decent and gentle
manly campaign, but is not in the race
by several hundreds of votes. Our faith
in the good judgment Of Barton county
people makes Us feel that Jim Clarke
viii be the next county attorney.

The A.P.A. has gotten the Missouri
republicans into 'pretty kittle of
fish" Being a republican machine it
grew Dold and averacious. and some of
its leaders are charged with boodling
on large scale. 1t is strange that the
Great Bend organization of the A. P
a. is never mentioned by the Great
Bend republican papers; and the editor
of one of those papers an A. P A, too.
Why this studied silence? When the
Register a week or so since spoke of
Elrick Coles denying that he belonged
TO a secret political organization"
why did not the editor say plainly and
bluntly that the organization referred
to was the A.P.A.? And why did he not
add, that from his own personal knowl-
edge he could make affidavit that Mr..
Cole did not belong to the aforesaid
anti-CathOlic branch of the G. O. D.?
Nothing is so much admired by the
American people as a straightforward,
plain statement of facts. Neither
Elrick Cole nor Joe Strothman are our
candidates neither one is democrat
but we would like to see each one
fairly treated; and if either one of them
is being fought by a secret, cowardly,
treacherOus, un-American organiZa-
ton, because of any religious cOnvic-
ton or belief. we earnestly hope that
the loyal, liberal. patriotic and brave
voters of the county will rally to the
aid of the man who is being thus fought
by such sneaking night hawks and
plotters against the constitution of the
land and the right of freedom of relig-
iOus thought.
