everywhere either shut down or rum
ming on short time with reduced
forces because there is an insufficient
demand for their products to enable
them to do otherwise. At the same
time farmers and others who need
these manufactured goods are unable
to buy them because they cannot
sell their own products. We say
that there is something wrong, and
we have proposed a remedy for it.
You say our remedy is nonsense.
What is your remedy? II it is better
than the one we propose, we are
ready to accept it.
The difficulty has been, since this
Peoples party movement started, to
get any republican paper or speaker
to mention these questions, except to
ridlcule them. We have been de-
nounced as Cranks and demsgogues
from the first, and this has been the
kind of campaign that has been con-
Quoted sgainst us, and all the while
the "crsnks" have kept on increasing.
Do you propose to continue thus
method, or will you get down to bust
ness and discuss fairly and honor
ably the specific questions of differ
ence between our parties? We offer
you the opportunity now to begin
fair work. Will you accept 1t?

A PLUT0ORAOY IN FACT AND IN
NAME.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch ofDe-
cember "a has q London special of
something over column from which
we clip the following:
The special correspondent Of the London
Chronicle, who has been sending a notable
series of letters on the Chicago fair and
American institutions, writes that in a re-
cent interview with q New York editor that
perSon Uniformed me quite seriously that,
il he had the power, he would limit the suf-
frage entirely 10 the capitalist class, thus
formally and definitely converting the re-
public into the plutooracy that it is fast
practically becoming"
That this is the sentiment of the
ariStocratic element Of the east there
is no manner Of doubt; and if the
people generally continue to vote
these elements into power, they will
have no reason to complain if the
program here indicated Is carried
out.

TRAlPs NOT RUSHING TO KANSAS.

After all the slush published by re-
publican editors upon the subject of
the "tramp circular" SO called, and
the doleful tales Of tribulation to
Kansas from the invasion of the state
by hordes Of worthless vsgabonds
from every part Of the country, the
said vsgsbonds have failed to ma
terislize, and the Kansas City Star of
December %, publishes this testi-
mony upon the subject:
A railroad man said this morning: "These
fellows are going south in swsrms, They
are rarely seen around the Union depot but
get OF the cars away out in the yards and
take the first trains for the south. Some of
them are shipped here by employment
agencies at Omaha. They 60 up town and
make arrangements with the first employ
ment agency they find TO go TO work out
ting ties in Arkansas or doing something
else in Oklahoma and Texas. Il doesn't
cost much TO ship men for work and they
get their fare paid, but they don't work
when they reach their destination. They
pull out without delay for a still warmer
climate. Governor LelUeLltnO's letter has not
Increased this class of trdueI tolCard Kansas,
They dOn'b 60 that way because the climate
is too cool. The idea that a well bred
tramp who knows his business would stand
out and shiver in the 10y winds that will soon
sweep across Kansas, just because the gov
ernor makes them Welcome and tells the
police not 10 arrest them and put them in
q comfortable, well warmed jail, is all nom
sense. They dcn't 60 that way. They know
too much about the world to make such
mistake.
The only testimony that has ap-
pesred in reference to the increase of
the unemployed in Topeka was pub
lished In the republican papers .of
the city; and in that 1t was stated that
several men had come here seeking
employment after the publication Of
news that work would soon begin
upon the Ksw river dam. And still
the falsehood and the abuse 90 on.

The State Journal seems to be
troubled in spirit because the ADVo-
CATE failed to publish Governor Rob

pearance. We would remind the
Journal that the ADVOCATE is, unfor-
tunately, only q weekly paper, and it
cannot publish everything that sp-
pears IN all the republican dailies Of
the state. If the Journal will ex-
anime our present issue, however, il
win probably discover that We have

MRS, LEASES REMOVAL,

On Thursday, December Is, Gov
ernor Lewelllng sent Mrs. Lease a
notice of her removal from the board
of charities, copy of which notice is
published in this issue.
OF course this action of the COVER
nor created q great furor, especially
among representatives Of the press
who are always on the alert for any
thing that is sensational; and espec-
tally when the sensation relates to
the Peoples party. The governor
states his reasons for this step in his
letter, and from what ID known OF the
antagonlsms in the board, it is doubt
full if harmony could ever have been
secured without a change OF some
kind.
OF course, Mrs. Lease feels indig-
nant, and has submitted to various IN
tervieWs by interested newspaper cor
respondents in which she indulges
freely in charges Of corruption against
the administration.
It is not now the purpose of the
ADVOCATE to take up the questions OF
dispute upon either side. We give
the information which our readers
are entitled to and withhold our
opinions which tbeloDg to us for the
present. There is one thing, how
ever, which we desire to say at this
time. Mrs. Lease makes some very
grave charges against the admins
tration. They are all, however, gen.
eral in their character and unsup-
ported by evidence. If she knows
the charges to be true it Is her duty
to make them specific and back them
up by such evidence as she possesses.
When she does this, she will find all
honest members of the Peoples party
ready to condemn the corruption as
much as she can do. She must know,
however, that these general charges
unsupported by evidence ere lisbletO
be interpreted as q result of bitter
ness prompted by her removal Fur
ther than this we have no opinion to
express at present, If there is cor

publican that "the political issues OF
next year will be railroad Legislation
and the relief Of the supreme court" "
The Reflector thinks the issue will be
'the completion Of the job Of purging
Kansas Of socialistic nonsense" and
determining whether Kansas shall
be known as the endorser Of rotten
money and crank government"
Now, as the Reflector comes to our
table this week for the first time with
q request to exchange, and as We
have been endesvoring for some time
without success to induce our repub-
lican exchanges to take up and dis
cuss the real issues that are actually
before the people, we propose to try
the Reflector at the very beginning
Of our new relations and see if it is
willing to meet as upon any fsirer
basis than other republican papers
have done.
We presume the Reflector will
sgree with us at the outset that the
object of all political parties when
they 90 into a political campaign is
success. To achieve success, every
party needs votes. To gain votes
from an opposite party it is necessary
to convince men Of the error Of their
present convictions and the correct
ness Of the doctrines of the party
they are asked to support, and we
would remind the Reflector that this
cannot be done by first denouncing
them as 'fcranks' and their ideas as
socialist nonsense" They may be
cranks and their ideas may be nom
sense, but the best way to convince
them Of it is not to begin IN that way.
We desire TO PROFOUND certain
questions to our new friend to which
we solicit fair and candid answers.
(D Fiat money is declared to be
rotten money" Will the Reflector
point out to us q species Of money
now in circulation that is not fiat

California will pay dearly in the
end for the bounty OF S. granted for
every coyote scalp presented to the
State Treasurer, predicts the New
York Tribune. This bounty law was
passed to protect sheep, but it has
been costly. Last year over $500, 900
was paid out, and this year it is esti-
mated that $500, 900 will be needed to
satisfy the claims. As the coyotes live
on jack-rabbits, the slaughter of one
pest will simply lead to the increase
Of the other.

The Province Of Quebec has law
bestowing 100 acres of Government
land on every father of family who
has twelve living children. Up to the
present time ia, 200 acres have been
given under this law. Not all Of
these fathers, however, are satisfied
with the amount of this bounty, for
families of twenty children are not
rare, and the fathers of these want a
proportionately higher reward. One
old gentleman, Paul Belanger, OF
River du Loup, wants 800 acres in
recognition of his family of thirty-six
living children.

New Use for Natural Gas.

The possibilities of natural gas evil
IDENTIFY have not yet been exhausted.
The latest use which would seem to
have been found for it is the making
of ice, the idea being to simply expand
the gas from its usually high initial
pressure down to or near that of the
atmosphere, nature having done all
the preliminary work of compression
and cooling, making the gas ready to
absorb heat from its surroundings i'm
mediately upon being released from
continent, All that would be neces-
sary would be suitable coils or cham
bers into which the gas could be al
lowed to expand. 1t has been calcu-
lated out quite plausibly, in fact, that
with an ordinary gas well, furnishing
$500, 900 cubic feet per day, some
thing like fifty tons of ice could be
turned out daily at an expense of
about fifty cents a ton. The gas
loses nothing but its pressure, retain
ing all It's calorifc value, and hence,
all its virtue for rolling mill and glass
works use, for heating brick, lime and
pottery kilns, and the endless number
of other furnaces to which it is adapted.
In certain way, therefore, the gas
may be regarded as affording some
thing for nothing-a desideratum to
which many in this world are con-
stantly looking forward. st. Louis
