Col. TOM FENLoN, of Leavenworth, one OF
biggest Democrats in Kansas, is out for Lewell-
ing, and he takes great big slice of the Demo-
cratic party with him.
THE Democrats of Lyon county held meet
ing at Emporia, Tuesday evening. They
adopted strong address urging all Democrats
TO work for the success of the Populist ticket.
New YORK women have started i'll to clean
ont Tammany, and it is more than likely they
will succeed, for when women begin house
cleaning they never stop till they clean from
garret to cellar
COLORADO Populists have nominated three
women as members of the state legislature.
The Populists out there seem to understand Just
what "equal rights to all, and special privileges
to none" means.
SYDNEY Cook Democratic nominee for lieu
nt-governor, says: "The amendment may
carry because of the indifference of the people,
the fanatics OIL any question always vote, while
those who are opposed to them are not so
particular whether they vote or not. Of course
am fighting it with all my power, but there
are great many people who will vote for just
because the Democrats are opposed to it. II
the angel Gabriel were Democrat, and would
come on earth, there are great many who
would stop their ears and refuse to listen to his
trumpet. State Journal.

MOORE A GOOD AID SOCIETY.

COL H. L. Moore, the congressman from the
Second district and Democratic candidate for
reelection, is in the city to-day.
"Do you expect to withdraw from the race?"
asked Journal reporter OF Col. Moore.
81 know nothing about anything of the kind,
he replied 81 ain now satisfied that there will
be no change, and that the fight will be made
on the present basis"
"What will be the result? Do you expect to
be elected?"
'No do not, and there can be but one result
the election of the Republican candidate.
Three candidates in the field in the Second dis
trict insures Republican success"
"What do you think of the position of Sena-
tor Martin in the campaign?"
81 have but little to say about it. Senator
Martin is evidently anxious to defeat the Re-
publicans. Topeka State Journal (Rep.)
In other words, Col. Moore is doing all he can
to elect Miller, the Republican candidate.
Maybe he's getting back some of the 'stuf'' it
cost him to run two years ago.

Again the United States army has been called
into service to protect corporation. This time
it is the Pacific Express company; the scene OF
operations is to be the Indian Territory. Cor
porations are continuity becoming more burden
some to the people. After being granted all
sorts of special privileges they are always call
ing OH the courts or army for assistance. Ordi-
nary people or business enterprises do not re-
ceive any such fostering care from the govern
ment. After being the recipients of so many
special favors, if the corporate enterprises can
not take care of themselves, it might perhaps
be as we'll for them to surrender their affairs to
some one else and go out of business. In fact,
if the government must furnish men enough to
run the express business of the country it might
as we'll operate the whole thing i'll the inter
est of the people. The patrons of the company
are now compelled to pay double for the service;
once to the company and once to the govern
ment to see that the service is performed: The
complaint is made by the company that the dep
utv marshals are in league with the robbers.
Let them hire their own protection and perhaps
they will get better article. Another con-
plant is that it costs SO much to catch the rob-
bers. If they would spend some of their funds
in preventing depradations, it might be less eX-
pensive 1t is about time that corporations
were left to take their chances like other people.

IT is said that Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell
the brave woman, widow of one soldier and sis
ter of another, who may be considered the lead
er of the woman's movement against Tammany,
was recently told by friends on the Committee
of Seventy that she might draw upon them
all the money she wanted for her campaign,
and that she replied that woman's cam
paign was a woman's, and that women paid
their own election expenses. If Mrs. Lowell,
in addition to giving Tammany "sounder" be-
tween the eyes, can devise way to rid politi-
cal campaigns of the evils growing out of the
raising and disbursing of "funds," she will be a
benefactress of her country.-K. c. Star.

HURRAH FOR KANSAS!

Hurrah for bounteous Kansas!
Her people reused at last
To listen to the oncome
Of Freedoms rushing blast
It's sweeping DER her prairies,
O'er her valleys and her hills,
And the dawning rays of liberty blaze
Till all the land it fills.
And the north winds and the south winds
Bear it DER the waiting land,
That Kansas, now as in the past,
Repels the slaver's hand.
Her soil, baptized with freeman's blood,
A freeman's soil shall be.
Here shall her SONS and daughters dwell,
In plenty, peace and liberty.
The spirits of nations dead
Bend over Kansas soil
To urge that he who tills the land
Should own the fruits of toll.
Oh by our brave and martyred sires,
We'll ring the bell of usury's knell,
And Kansas shall be free.
The marshalling hosts of Freedom
United, swift and strong.
"The home against the mortgage"
Was the burden of their song.
The plowinan left his furrow,
The farmer his ripened grain,
To Join the hosts of Freedom,
Singing Liberty's wild refrain.
Hurrah for sun kissed Kansas
Hurrah for the Populist band
That drove from our fertile prairies
Monopoly's greedy hand
We thank Thee, Oh God of battles,
For this peaceful victory won.
Oh Liberty bell, ring Slavery's knell.
Greedy Shylock's race is run.

MRS. LEASE IN MISSOURI.

Mrs. Mary E. Lease spent all of last week in
Missouri, and reports reach us from the various
points visited by her to the effect that her meet
ings were all most enthusiastic, and that great
good has been accomplished by her visit to
that state. The good people of Missouri urged
her to work in Missouri during the balance of
tine campaign, but she is loyal to sunny Kan
sas, so came back, and has been doing herioc
work in our state ever since, and will continue
to work here till election. Mrs. Lease also has
numerous urgent calls from New.York, Chicago
and California.

THEY DON'T AGREE.

When the Republicans held their powow Ill
Garnett, few days ago, some of the speakers
declared that silver has never been demonetized
at all, while others said it was done at the de-
mand of a majority of the people, as expressed
in the Republican platform.
January ID, 1891, Senator ingalls, said III
speech in the United States senate: "There
is. Mr. President, deep-seated conviction
among the people, WHICH | FULLY SHARE, that
the demonstration of silver in 1873 was one
element of great conspiracy to deliver the ils-
cal system of this country over to those by
whom it has, in my opinion, finally been cap
tured. | see no proof of the assertion that the
demonstration act of 1873 was fraudulently or
corruptly procured, but it is impossible to avoid
ne conviction that it was a part of deliberate
plan and conspiracy formed by those VINO nave

the value of the standard by which their accl-
mutations were to be measured THE ATTEN-
TIoN OF THE PEOPLE WAS NOT CALLED TO THE

ro,nena of legislation. That bill was pendlng
IN IFS various stages, for four years, IN both
houses of congress 1t passed both bodies by
decided maiorties 1t was read and re-read,
and reprinted thirteen times, as appears by the
records 1t was commented upon Ill newspa-
pers it was the subject of discussion III hnan-
c;al bodies, and over the country, and yet we
have the concurrent testimony of every senator
aud every member of the house of representa-
tives who was present during the time that the
LEGISLATION was pending and proceeding, that he
knew nothing whatever about the deilionetiza-
tiou of silver and the destruction OF the coinage
of the silver dollar AS say, II Is
I one of the phenomena and anomalies OF leglS-
,ot;or and have no other explanation to make
than this | believe that both houses OF con-
Horess and the president of the United states
,e1Ns have been hypnotized. So great was the
Sr of capital, so profound was the impulse,
so persistent was the determination, that the
nromoters of the scheme succeeded by the oper-
rat;o, of mind power and will force i'll capturing
aud bewildering the intelligence of men of all
parties. of members of both houses OF congress,
and the members of the cabinet, and the presi-
dent of the United States"
Also. at the aforementioned Republican
meeting. Z. N Morrill, said the government
cannot create dollar.

Representative Bryan OF the first Nebras-
ka distric; has sent letter TO the chairmaa
Of his congressional committee, Judge J. n.
Broadly OF Lincoln. declining to be a candi-
date for reelection. His reasons for re-
firing from congressional life are that he is
unwilling to enter into a contest which. TO
be waged successfully. would confine him to
his district during the campaign. The dis
trict is republican by 6.500. and IN the last
election Mr.. Bryan won by the narrow ma
Jority OF 40: and as he wants TO take a
more active part In the state campaign than
he could do with a doubtful congressional
campaign on his hands. he has decided to
decline renomiration.
In his letter to Judge Broadly he expressed
some doubts as to the future OF the demo-
cratic party, saying. IF the Presidents
financial policy becomes the policy of the
party l do not see any reason for the con-
tinued existence of the party. because the
republicans, having followed that policy
longer. are better prepared than we TO sup
port it. If. on the other hand. the party
regulates Mr.. Cleyeland's financial policy,
and renews Its devotion TO the common
people. IL may yet become an effective in
strument in the securing OF good govern
ment."
Mr.. Bryan states that he will resume his
law practice in the city OF Lincoln.

He then gave notice Of the resolution that
on and after Monday next, until otherwise
ordered, the daily sessions of the Senate

thattthe Senate has found itself without a
