CANDIDATES ARE FIVE

Last nights ratification which brodg ht
so many Republican politicians to Tope-
ka has resulted in the fight for the or
ganization of the house of representa-
tives being opened seven weeks ahead
Of time.
There are already five fully hedged can
didates for speaker and there may bemore
who have determined to be dark horses.
But this has been . bad year for dark
horses. Kansas Republicans this year
demand free open fight
Mr. C. +. Lobdell, the young lawyer
from Dighton, Lane county, who was
chairman of the judiciary committee in
the Douglass house, is a candidate. and
J. K Cubbisoa Of Kansas City. Kans-.
the we'll known orator, IS doing all IN his
power to convince the other representa-
tives that he would make the best pre-
siding officer.
The third candidate is Mr.. 6. s. Bene-
dict of Fredonia, Wilson county. Mr..
Benedict is a tall man with iron grey
hair and beard He was not mem ber
Of the last house. but ne has been in the
legislature and has served two terms as
state senator
BIr. }. Y. Beekman of Arkansas City,
is also candidate for speaker, and he is
popular with the politicians. The only
serious objection to his candidacy is that
COwley county has two candidates for
state printer which may interfere with
his aspirations.
Col Alex. Warner of Cherokee county,
one Of the fighting members of the last
house, is mentioned as a candidate for
speaker COL Warner was one of the
men who were the active participants ia
the settlement Of the difficulties between
the two houses id the last legislature,
and after the war was over he captured
the doors leading to Representative hall
which were battered down with Speaker
Douglass sledge hammer.
There is a seeming disFcsitiou among
the mem BERG elect to choose for their
speaker some man who was a mem Der
of the last house, and if this is to be the
rule the fight viii be between Warner,
Cubbison and LobdelI.

National Coal Miners Organization to
Stop Work.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 1.-The pros
pect Of anoth er national coal miners
strike grows certain. The reduction
fever among the operators spread east
war today, and the Clearfield district is
now concerned. Bell, Lewis & Yates,
who employ 1900 men at Dubois and
Dubois and Reynoldsville, posted no otices
that on account of lower prices IN min
ing IN competitive districts the firm is
compelled to force a reduction 10 30
cents per net ton. The price now being
paid IS 40 cents and prior TO the great
strike last spring it was 40 cents.
The BerwInd- White mining company
in the same district, employing 6.5O0
men, will probably follow this example
Of reduction, and a general lowering of
the scale rate in this district will result
The operators in the Pittsburg district
have threatened TO make reductions and
viii now probably be forced 10 this end.

The Democratic party of Arkan-
sas in convention assembled hereby
re-aflirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles of
the national Democratic party as
expressed IN its platforms and rati-
fed in its legislation throughout
the history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol-
lowing specific declarations;
We insist upon strict compli-
ance with the repeated declara-
tons of the party in favor of a tar
if for revenue only, to the end that
the protection favored by the Re-
publican party and crystalized in
the infamous determinations of the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulled and
a fair competition in the markets
Of the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni
ted States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed.
To the end that taxation may be
distributed ON an equitable basis
and accumulated property pay it's
fair share of the expenses of the
government, which have for so long
a time been borne by the consump-
tion of the people. We favor an
income tax.
We still consider the act of 1873,
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at a ratio of sixteen to
one as it then existed
We believe the constitutional
power to borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event Of great emergencies when
the power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
of the people. Therefore we are
opposed to the issue Of bonds in

Announcement.

To my friends and the general
public l wish to announce, that |
shall open a select school in Texar-
kama, September 10. The number
of students will be limited to just
so many as can be given that spec
ial personal attention, which is nee
essary to secure to each the high
est educational advantages. The
moral atmosphere will be pure
enough, and the general tone high
enough to suit the most exacting.
1t is designed that the school shall
be of the very highest order, both
as to the personnel of the student
body and the character of the work
done. No student will be admitted
whose presence for any reason
would not be conducive to the best
interests of the school. We mod
estly promise that our students shall
have advantages superior to those
offered by any school in the com.
munity, and heartily court investi.
cation as to our ability, to realize
this promise.
