Uncle Sam Will Object to Diseased
Horses Shipped From Germany.

The embargo which Germany has just
placed against American cattle may have a
sequel which the German authorities have
not anticipated, viz, an investigation rs to
tho glanders and other diseases with which
affected.
Secretary Morton called attention In his
last report to tho lack OF inspection OF horses
coming from abroad aud suggested that 1t
would be well to provide for quaran-
timing horses At tnut time there was
such comfy between this country and those
OF Europe IN the shipment OF live stock that
the horse inspector was not urged. Now,
however, with Germany closing her ports
against American cattle, the Secretary's sug-
gestions of protection against diseased horses
becomes pertinent.

4 REAL aExPOsE.s

While some brass collar Republican
papers are whining about the STATE
JOURNAL, the Republican state central
committee, knowing a good thing when
it sees it, has just issued many thou
sand supplements for Kansas papers in
which the leading article Is the STATE
JOURNALS own expose, striking one OF
the most telling blows Of the whole cam
paign against the hypocrisy Of the Pop
ulist administration
The s5xDose" Is noteworthy as being
one Of the few which is unanswera-
BILE. It cannot be answered There is
only one side to il, and that We have
stated The article in question is the
one about Pullman passes and the re-
duced Pullman assessments.
Several members Of the administration
admit they have the passes and the rec
ords show the reduction of the Pullman
assessments.
This particular supplement with the
STATE JOURNALS article as the leader
appears with the last issues of scores Of
Republican papers Of the state.
The.trouble with the s'whiners" il that
they are afraid to even whimper about
any corruption, errors or mistakes in
evidence against any but Populists.
The way to maintain ascendancy in the
Republican party is to keep Republican
rascals out, and unless they are kept out
all the Republicans viii be turned down
again two or four years from now as
they were in 1892 The STATE JOURNAL
has never believed all the Kansas Re
publican leaders to be immaculate and
neither do many other Republican pa
pers believe SO, but they are afraid to
say so.

Do NOT BELIEVE 1T.
Nobody Willing to Give Credence
to the Story
ABOUT THE ALLEGED MANIFESTO
TO Re Issued by Martin and Click En
dOra1n@ Governor LeweAIImE.

TO BE Issued by Martin and Click I'm
dOrs1nE Governor LeveAIInE.
The story that Senator John Martin
and Pension Agent George W. Click are
to issue a joint manifesto calling on all
Kansas Democrats to vote for Governor
Lewelling and the Populist state ticket,
created a sensation in political circles,
but most Of the politicians today declare
there is no truth in the story.
Chairman Richardson of the Demo
cratic state central committee says: SIT
is a lie. The story is false. Sen ator
Martin Will not take any part in the cam
paign, although be il ia sympathy with
the Democratic state ticket and Governor
Click has been and is now making Dem
ocratic speeches.
Fred Click who ia his fathers private
secretary, said today that there was no
truth in the story as Senator Martin and
his father have not meet for sever al
weeks and in all their spondence
there has not been ono word said about
state politics.
A Democratic politician said: II don't
believe the story; but if it were true it
would change not less than five thous-
and votes. If Senator Martin
alone should issue a manifesto
asking the Democrats to vote for
LeweIIing it would cost Overmyer sew
eral thousand votes. Every Democratic
postmaster in Kansas would follow Mar
tins instructions, and would take his
own part ocular crowd of Democrats with
him.
In Populist circles no one claimed to
know anything about the story, although
il was generally admitted that such
manifesto would at this time be a well
come document at Chairman Breiden-
thal's headquarters.

a EEL FARAER NOW.

Farmer Smith" writes a long letter
published in the Topeka Capital, in
which he afirms the story given in the
STATE JOURNAL a week ago To the effect
that he is not making campaign speeches
because he sis poor man and can't af-
ford to run around during the campaign
to the neglect of his farm and personal
business"
Mr.. Smith is getting right down to
business and we have no doubt he viii
bring himself around to old time pros
perity. His case is simply one Of many
wherein political farming has not proved
most remunerative. He gives words of
encouragement to the Republicans and
at the same time tells a pathetic story as
follows:
mo one realizes more fully than [ do
the importance of electing the entire Re-
publican ticket, and / hope that every
friend I have in this state will be loyal
to the ticket, true to Republication and
active on election day. Never was there
a time in the history Of Kansas when
there was as much at stake; 30 much to
appeal to ones state pride and to his pa
triotism and love Of party. as there is in
this campaign and the only reason that
I am not more active in this canvass Is
because i cannot afford it financially. As
you are aware, the campaign OF TWO
years ago was a very expensive one to
me, and when the lights went out on that
eventfuI November day in 1892 I found
NV bank account exhausted and myself

THE WICHITA PoPULIsr RALLY.

A Pretty Big Political Parade Held There.
[From the Wichita Beacon. 1sth.l

before the rain stopped, wagon loads,
buggy loads, carriage loads and people
on horse back began to arrive IN the city.
BY 10 o'clock the corner of Main and
Douglas, First and Main and Market and
Douglas were pretty well packed with
men wearing Lewelling badges.
As a burlesque on the badges some
few came out with 'SpOOner'' dodger
pinned on, but there were not many Of
them. BY noon the streets looked as
though circus was to appear in parade.
As matter of fact the crowd was not so
large as had been predicted, although it
was by no means a small affair.
Col. Fred Close Of Topeka was here
and shook hands with the local politi-
clans.
The fair grounds were properly decor
ated and the leading Populists were on
dress parade and exhibition.
About noon the parade began to pass
along. It was very large and it is safe to
say that the proportions astonished many

In BOTH Georgia and Alabama, Popu-
lists are voting with Republicans for the
election Of Republican congressman.
Any kind of combination is justihable in
those southern states where a select ring
of Democrats have held political power
since the war They mean to hold it by
fair means or foul They began by stuff
fing the ballot boxes to keep the black
man out, and they now resort to the
same crime to defraud their dissenting
white brethren. Such an Organization of
political scoundrels ought to be over
thrown, no matter how.
