"Staud Up for Kansas"

We praise the Lord for Kansas
For her prairies grand and free;
For her climate, for her people
Full OF life and energy.
For her laws promoting justice
She may we'll the leader be,
As she goes marching on.
CHoRUs-Glory glory halleljah etc.
Once We looked with pride on Kansas
AS o refuge for the slave
Now our hearts with Joy are swelling;
'Tis refuge from the grave
For the victim OF the gold bug,
By our laws we hope to save,
AS we go marching on.
Then rally to the ballot box,
Ohl rally once again
We love the state OF Kansas
And will her name defend.
We are standing up for Kansas
BY supporting Kansas men,
Aswe go marching on.
We have man In Kansas,
(His name you all can guess)
He obtains his bread and butter
-~,- By subsIsting en- the rest, 5000 .-~------
And when he travels in the East,
He says, "pm from the West"
AS he goes marching ON.
Then, hurrah for brave Lewelllng,
All DER our glorious state.
We will rally TO election,
And we'll vote both soon and late,
And We'll snow the rascal under
Who's ashamed OF Kansas state,
AS we go marching on.

How POpulists Are Going to the G. o.. P.

How POpuliSts Are Going to the G. o. P.
EDITOR ADvoCATE:-The g. o. p. bosses
are becoming 30 desperate that they re.
sort to al kinds of fslsehoods and sem
sstional schemes in the hope Of being
able to redeem Kansas" Especially
is this true in the Sixth district. Vitu-
perstion and abuse not accomplishing
what they hoped for, they next turn
their attention to the inventlng of fake
"reports" Of great stampedes from the
Peoples party to the republican party.
The following clipping appeared in
the State Journal Of the 9Th inst:
HAVE LEFT THE PoPUL1sTs.
The republican state central committee
to-day received a letter from ]. @. Postle-
thwait, member of the committee from
Jewell county, saying that he has a list of
fourteen patrons Of the postofioe at the
little town of Jewell City who have left the
Populists and will support the entire re-
publican ticket.
The writer, desiring to know the truth
in the matter, sent the following letter to
Hon. G. 9. Vandeventer, Of Jewell City:
PH1LLIPsBURG, KAs., August 9, 1894.
Mr. O. C. VGndtUenter:
DEAR SIR AND BRcTHRR:-I send you q
clipping relating to your town. Please let
me know just how it is. Return this letter
and clipping with your reply. Fraternally,
E, 9. JOHNSON.
The following is Mr.. VandsVenter's
reply:
JEWELL CITY, KAs., August 12, 1894.
+. O. johnson, PhilIipsbtrg, KdS.:
DRAR SIR AND BRoTHBR:-Yours Of August
9 at hand, and in reply win say; This man
Postlethwait is a loan agent and a man
with record for lying, who reported TO the
state committee two years ago that the
PoTulists had left their party in this county
1000 in number, and would vote the old
party ticket straight. He is the man who,
when John Martin was elected United
States senator, represented himself as q
very prominent democrat TO Martin and
wanted to name the federal officers for this
county. There is no truth in his report this
time, but on the other hand, we have many
recruits in this county and will carry the
county by a largely increased majority.
Ellis lies about Bakers bill, have hurt him
(Ellis) here. l will attend the Rocks
county convention on the 18th. Yours for
honesty, @. G. VANDKVENTBR.
The republican party is making q
campaign Of abuse in this district.
The writer Of this has listened closely
70 the speeches Of every republican who
has been sent to this place. Not one Of
them has spent any considerable amount
OF his time in speaking on the principles
Of the republican psrty-if it has any.
Major Hudson spoke for two hours at
the court house in this city on the 10Th
inst, and the nearest he came to REFER
ring to the platform was when he said:
"The republican state platform declares
in favor Of coming all American silver,
Twill refer to this and read the plank
later" He forgot to attempt 10 fulfill 90
hard q promise. he never mentioned

POLICE COURT NOTES.

A Big Grist of Sinners Who Did Not
Practice the Christmas Sentiment.
Judge Hawkins was kept busy Thurs
day attending to the cases of a miscella'
neous assortment of sinners who neg
lected to practice the Christmas senti.

to men,"
John Riley attempted to make him.

longing to Strain Bros. which stood in
the alley in the rear of their store. II
was not small enough to go into a stock.
irg, but still it was small enough for q
good, husky fellow like Riley to walk
away with. A policeman who saw him
staggering up the alley with his burden
took compassion on him and relieved
him of it. He will spend New Years
day where he spent Christmas, as he got
a t~hirty-day sentence, and Chief Burns
will keep close watch on him to see that
he does not steal the hose cart.s
VIM. Bitner was arrested on suspicion
and on his person was discovered a very
wicked looking slung- shot, made of lead
and attached to a strong piece of elastic.
1t was not the kind of a weapon a gen.
tleman usually carries, and Bitner has
not been keeping very good company OF
late, but the court concluded to let him
go this time under a suspended sentence
for carrying concealed weapons, on &C.
count of his having a family to support
He said be carried the deadly weapon of
a thug for the benefit of a dog which
had bitten him some time ago.
John Tring and Thomas Tring, father
and son and both professional beggars
buns and drunkards, were before bis
honor for the third or fourth time in the
last month, and this time got IA days
each.
L. Piper, accused of vagrancy, was
committed for three days to the city
Jail.
John McClair, who was drunk and dis.
orderly on Christmas day got six days.
Ole Olson will have a job cleaning off
sidewalks for the next three days, be-
cause he treated himself to 80 per cent
alcohol and forgot to reduce it enough
John f. Ferguson also went on a
Christmas spree beyond all reason and
decency, but as he had $3.50 to settle
the damage with he was allowed to 60.
Peter johnson, being of a humorous
turn of mind, employed his Christmas
holiday in kicking in doors or the North
side and otherwise enjoying himself, and
paid Sl3 to the court for his fun and to
square a charge of being drunk and dis
orderly.
Archie McMath charged with being
drunk and a vagrant, seemed to the
court to be we'll adapted to the work Of
handling a shovel and was accordingly
added to the chain gang for three days

could scarcely take it all at first, coming
so very unexpectedly on him.
He replied: "Mr. Atkins and gentle

how or what I have done to merit your

A BAD MAN CAUGHT,

George Rice Will Have to Answer to a
Charge of Burglary.
Detective Germ caught a man Thurs
day who has been wanted for several
days and who is not by any means a de-
sirable citizen or a safe one to be at
large.
His name is George Rice and he lives
near Fifth avenue and Seventh street
south. He was arrested some time ago
for beating his wife. The police state
that he has done no honest work for
some time and suspect hat a good deal
of petty thieving on the south side is
traceable to his industry at night. Last
Friday about midnight Hattie Shaw
found him up stairs in her house appar-
emily witout any good excuse, and no.
ticed at the same TIM a silver basket
sticking out of his pocket. After he left
it was discovered that two of the girls
room had been entered, the locks of their
trunks skillfully picked and sundry arti-
Giles stolen including the silver basket
mentioned, a seal skin mutf, some jew
elry and $50 in money. Miss Shaw gave
the detective so good a description of the
man that he recognized him yesterday
eneaking up an alley and arrested him.
A search warrant was ATTAINED for his
house and the stolen goods found there.
1t is said that hs has recently been offer
ing coal for sale by the sack and it is
thought this fact has some connection
with the surprising rapid;ty with which
some OF the neighbors found their fuel
oo1 amed.

HARD CRITICISM
The Administration Has Done the

SAYS PRESIDENT ]. J.. HILL
Does Not Think There Will Be Any
Financial Legislation This
Session.

ST.. PAUL, Dec. 26.-"There is not q
word of truth in it," raid President Hill
this morning in reply to a statement
made in a Washington dispatch that
there would be a conference this week
between President Cleveland and Presi-
dent Hill and other tinanciers of the
country, to consider a new substitute to
the currency bill. "As far as the effect
on the country is concerned, I think the
administration has done all the harm 1t
is capable of doing. The public must
look for relief from another quarter.
The present want of harmony in the ma
jority in congress makes it impossible for
any good legislation to come from this
congress. They should appoint a COM
mission of q members from among the
bankers of the country, political conom-
lists and business men to investigate the
whole situation and prepare some fnan-
cial system, and when that is done let
congrese go to work and pass a bill"
