WHY Is it the poDulist papers and
speakers won't express themselves on
the present administration at WASH
TOM DO they feel sense of RESPONSE
bllity for it?-Kingman Courier.
Didn't they express themselves over
and oyer again? Isn't it fact that all
reform papers and speakers have been
bitter In their opposition to the Cleve-
land-Sherman- Carlisle conspiracy that
brought ruination and stagnation to
the WestY The populist papers have,
to unit, denounced the national ad-
ministration for the stand taken on
the money question, and for the outra-
geous usurpation of power during the
late strike. But, on the other hand,
we lind such eminent republican journ-
alists as the editor OF the Courier, up
holding Cleveland and the administra
tion in every material step taken. In
fact, the republican party has been the
right bower of Cleveland and Carlisle,
in furtheriDg the deplorable condition
of the masses. Place the responsiDlli-
ty where it belongs-in the demo-re-
publican camp.

A Special Offer.

Of the many populist exchanges COM
ing to our Office, none spends so much
money to get the suppressed Washing
ton news before its readers as the Nom
conformlst. Yes, suppressed news.
What the plutOcrstic papers have been
careful to keep their readers from find
ing out, the two tireless correspond
ents of the NOnconformist have dug up
and sent the paper for the benefit of it's
thousands of readers. Many a secret
has thus leaked out that the plutocracy
never meant that the common worka-
day people should know.
We have made special arrangements
whereby we can send the Monochrome
list and the INDEX from now until jan
uary /, 1895, for One Dollar.

SIMPSON ny ACC, AVIATION.


Last Wednesday, in the city of
Hutchinson, over five thousand people
assembled to renominate the only
efficient representative the Seventh
congressional district has had for a
number OF years. Simpson was unable
to be in attendance, but other promi-
nent speakers addressed theconvention,
Gov. Lewelling, Fred Close and Judge
Doster being the principal ones. Res
olutions were adopted favoring the
free coinage of silver at the ratio Of Is
to endorsing the pOpulist admins
tration, and condemnlng the democratic
national administration. The name of
Simpson brought loud applause from the
crowded auditorium and the meeting
was pronounced by all, the most en-.
thusiastic one ever held in Hutchinson.
Beside this, hearty ovation was given
Gov. Lewelllng when he arose to speak,
ana like all his mastery and logical
utterances, 1t was well received. The
district was well represented and the
sentiments of the whole people were
voiced when the dauntless congressman
was placed in nomination. His cleo
ton Is assured, the people will gather
at the various voting precincts and ell
ect him In the formal and usual manner
and the Seventh district of Kansas
will have trusty and able represen.
tative for two more years to come.
The populist state and congressional
nominations are now completed, and
merit the approval and support of tho
people at large, but are sure to meet
the unqualified opposition of the
corporations and combines throughout
the state. But the people are awake to
their interest and their triumph is as
plain as the MONDAY sun. In Simp-
son the people have bold and fearless
champion of human rights and we are
confident in saying that nothing can
induce them to change him for a de-
ceitful siren.

IT Is not the fact that Hon. w. p.
Hackney and other delegates have
openly arrayed themselves against the

large number of individual quiet vot-

danger is concealed. Why not look
facts squarely in the face and prepare
to meet them NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE fact that President Cleveland is
receiving congratulations from a few
corporation owned judges, on his at
titude on the strike does not in the
least, go to show that he had any law
on his side. The U. S. courts have be-
come a menace to American freedom.
Well can we eXclaim with Thomas JEFF
ferson that, there is more danger to
the liberties of the people from the
agressions of the courts than from
riots and mobs."

JUDGE MCKAY, the celebrated far

has ever had. McKay's election has
been conceded by every one, even the

THE state penltentiary investigation
proved to be another striking example
of ungrounded charges made by dis
appointed office seekers. Not a scintilla
of evidence was introduced to sub
stantlate the allegations of a single
charge set forth, but preponderate
evidence was given generating War
den Chase. The investigation CRATES
harshly on republican ears.

The Atchlson Road May Make Some Lively
Times in Passenger Rates.
CHIeAGos March 6.-Chairman Cald-
well last night handed down his de-
cision denying the request of the Atchi-
son road for 4 boycott against the
seathern Pacific on passenger business.
After going over at length the causes
of the dispute, which have been pub
lished at length, the chairman says:
The Atchison is entitled to no relief
under the association agreement, be-
cause the Southern Pacific has not
been guilty of such action as could
render it subject to punishment un-
der the association rules if it We're
an association line. 1t being at, outside
line the chairman argues that makes
no difference whatever. The Atchison
would be entitled to no redress even if
it were III the association. This will
drive the Atchison from the association,
and Assistant Passenger Traffic Man
ager Byrne will send formal notice that
the Atchisou road will withdraw. 1t
will then, unless,the matter is now set
tied by arbitration, promptly proceed
to make it's fight on California rates
from Chicago, instead of the Missouri
river, and the prospect for some low
rates to California is very promfs ing.
The Atchison once out of the aSso-
citation, it will remain out until the
Union Pacific agrees to become MEM

THE CHEROKEES.
Their Status as Nation Defined by JUDI


Their Status as q Nation Defined by Judge
Cox.
WASHINGTON, March 6.--The status
of the Cherokee nation as party to
litigation was defined in an opinion
rendered by Judge Cox, of the district
equity court. on a motion to dissolve a
temporary injunction granted to Ed
win D. Chadick, of New York, restrain
ing the agents of the nation from sell
ing to R. T. Wilson & Co.. of New
York Sc, $40, 600 of bonds that had been
previously contracted for by Chadick.
The court held that it had no jurisdic-
ton over the nation.
The delivery of the opinion occupied
an hour. A large number of decisions
defining the lawful rights of the Cher
okee nation were cited and also the
constitutional provision granting con-
gress the power to regulate commerce
and make treaties with foreign nations
and the Indian tribes. The treaties
made with the Cherokees were then
quoted as recognizing their existence
| as nation.
The Cherokees, said the court, re-
tanned their own political organization
as sovereign nation with the excep
ton of the power of congress to allow
railroads the right of way over theil
lands, and certain restrictive laws OF
congress The nation, it was held
was not amcnable to suit by private
parties

COMING LEGISLATION.

The CondItiou of national Finances win
Probably Prevent Any Increased Pension
Provision.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-There are
other things talked of in Washington
than the coming tariff bill The dis
cussion of the pension appropriation
bill IA the house for the past two days
and the continuances of this discussion
for at least two of the congressional
days to come, is interesting as tho
treatment of a political topic second to
none except the tariff question After
the pension appropriated comes the
District of Columbia bill, and, follow
ing thai, the sundry civil BIZ,
As to general pension legislation,
! which is discussed along with talk
about the pension appropriations,
nothing definite is kpewn, There are
as many pension enthusiasts on tho
democratic side as on the repu biican.
But the condition Of national finances
will probably prevent any increased
pension provision during this congress
Certainly no widespread pension
granting law, such ~ d sefvice bill, will
be passed. Representative Martin, of
Indiana, the democratic chairman of
the house committee on invalid PEN
sions, speaking of general pension leg
| islatiOn, said; ..-.
Our. committee has only reported one bill,
and that is the bill which passed the senate
unanimously to repeal the clause in an appro
priation bill which cuts OF the pensions paid to
| hOn-residents of this country The law ought
| to be repealed, as 1t does a great deal Of in
! justice, Especially to the mothers and widows
| Of men who, although not nativee OF this coun
| try, shouldered arms and We're wounded cr
killed in defense OF their adopted land
| There are several important MEASURES be-
fore our committee, ts which we will now

general ithpfes ion that it will prove to be an
Enormous expense to the govern ent and

phase of the question My own opinion is
from figures have thus far been able to OBJ
tain. that service pension bill would not be
nearly as costly as is generally imagined

they were interrupted by the appear

track upon which the train was coming

men were enveloped in steam and did

thanks the commons for the supplies
granted and concludes with the remark
that she anticipates lasting advantages
from the laws enacted.
