KANSAS.

While it is claimed that Kansans are
kickers, there are no people on the face
of the earth that have more grit and are
more loyal to their state. No class of
people get more satisfaction out of next
years crops, or, who believe more i'm
plicitly in the good things in store for
those who will hold on for a few years.
The hard times have made many people
dissatisfied, but the depression is the
same all over the country. By compari-
son Kansas is in good shape. and should
be one of the first states to take on pros
perity, and her rapid recuperation will
depend upon her people. Kansas has
shown what she can do under favorable
circumstances. Her wheat crop of 1892
and corn crop of 1889 are record that
no other state can approach. There is a
great future fer tine state, and within
the next decade more people will find
homes and competency in Kansas than
in any like area on earth.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1894-08-28

What has caused more people to leave
the state than all other things COM
bined is the excessive freight charges
on the things they were compelled to
buy, such as coal, bailding material and
agricultural implements. Many who
have contemplated making Kansas their
home have been shrewd enough to look
into these matters before they located
and the result was they changed their
plans and went elsewhere, When the
roads adopt the plan Of encouraging
people to settle in Kansas she will grow
and prosper as she never has before and
the people will stay here and take their
chances, realizing that there is no other
soil or climate with more advantages,
and with an even chance they can COM
pete with the world.

WILL THE UNITED STATES srANDF

Does the man who does not think that
the PopulIsts are dangerous to this gov
eminent, know what he IS talking about:
There are hundreds of sensible Populists.
Two years ago there were thousands.
What has caused the decrease? The
thing that has caused the decrease is the
realization of the mon who were sup
porting the Populists that they were
keeping company with men and follow
ing leaders who were enemies of the
government and enemies of humanity.
Some things have transpired which
have shown the serpeHt's head of the
Populist leaders since the last vote was
counted.
Now as a matter of fact the Populist
leader is harmless In normal condition.
Surrounded BY sensible men he is sensi-
bic. Surrounded 10y lunatics, he IS a
lunatic. So long as the Populist leaders
ale in hopeless minority in this coun-
try they are not dangerous. They can
do nothing of themselves. Whatever
Legislative measure of national extent
they accomplish must be after it has
been scrutinized and pared down and
purified by men of sense and stability.
Let the Populist once get control Of
our national government aud there will
be no national government.
Why? In normal condition the Pop
ulist has to be sensible. In periods of
extraordinary excitement he is not. Go
back to the time of. the strike. The
whole nation was excited. In the SEN
ate sat a quiet mild old man named PEI
fer. He is the foremost Populist in this
country. His counsel is the highest
When the strike was at the highest what
does he d.? Just like all the rest of the
Populist leaders he loses his head. He
rises in his place and foams and froths.
He proposes to appoint a representative
from each state to come to Washington
and rule the government.
That was more than jeff Davis dared
TO propose. Davis did not have the
courage 10 destroy the form of govern
merit. The Confederacy had its presi-
dent and its cabinet.
But PETER proposed to destroy the
government of the United States. He
was laughed at. Why? Because he was
one of only four Popullsts in the United
States senate. If there had been a ma
jority of Populists in the senate and the
house what would have happened? The
rest of the PopuIists would have thought
as PETER thought, and IN twenty-four
hours this government would have gone
to pieces.
PETER was not joking. He meant it.
The Populist leaders are against a re-
publican form of government Under
stress they become Anarchists. So
great is this feeling with them that even
gentle PETER broke cut and wanted it
abolished. What would tie more rabid
desire.
Just think of this if you are thinking
Of voting the Populist ticket either in
county or state.
Look over the candidates on all tickets
ard decide which men are safe. Judge
the men, not rs they would act in
peaceable conditions, but as they would
Conduct themselves in periods of great
peril The Populist leaders are danger
Gus, and the sensible men N the Pom,

FREIGHT RATES DEPoPULATE

If the shareholders and directors in
the lines of railroad that make up the
roads of Kansas have any design or
hopes OF putting their property upon a
paying basis they should make an in
vestigation and arrive at some of the
causes for their present condition.
Under favorable conditions all the lines
in Kansas, with very few exceptions,
ought to be good paving property. The
soil is here, and the climate is here,
there has been nothing TO change them,
only for the boTter, since they were built.
Crop failures have caused some 10
abandon their farms, but in most in
stances they abandoned farms that never
waSs adaptsa for agricultural purposes.

HE HELPS HIS FRIEND-soMETIMEs


Out of the black darkness of this
party perfidy and dishonor" busine 8S
there shines one pickering light for the
real supporters of Democracy. Ii is the
beacon held up by President Cleveland
for the much maligned Whiskey Trust.
The German Wilson-nondescript bill
imposed a duty of 20 cents per gallon on
whiskey, which amount was to be
charged up against some $500, 600 gal
Ions now in bond, but by the presiden is
holding the bill till the last day the
Trust was enabled to scratch around and
raise the money 10 take said whiskey
out of government ware houses. This
saving of 81, 800, 900 is neat little plum
for the Trust, though by signing the bill
at once it would have been paid into the
public revenues. Whether the price
paid for the presidents loyalty to his
friends is little high or not, will be a
simple matter of opinion. As a matter
of cold figures it would have made up
the losses under Democratic rule for four
DAYS at least. There is nothing, how
ever, like whisky in sight for the Dem
Ocratic party.
But how did the whisky barons know
the bill was to become law? Borrow
ing all this money before it received the
presidents signature looks like the ante
cedent lettering in after subsequent
event.
Queer congress queer president
smart whisky trust.
