LABOR AGAINST MONEY.
Abraham LincOln's Prophesy OF the
Coming Conflict Brought ForcIbIy
to Mind.

In his address to the railway men
Of America, setting forth the cause

DebS says:
The struggle with the Pullman
company has developed into a con-
test between producing classes and
the money power Of the country.
This was what Lincoln predicted
at the close Of the war, and il was this
reflection thatgave the great emanc.-
patOr his glOomleSt fOrebOdingS. We
stand upon the ground that the work

perfectly confident of success. We

In an interview iu regard to the
probable action Of the government,
DebS says:
Judge Caldwell admits that the
men have right TO quit work. That
is what we contend for and We are
therefore satisfied with the courts

Congressional Candidate.
Hon. w. P. Hackney has wretten a
letter to Col. Dick Blue, the Repub-
lican candidate for congressman-at
large, criticising the position Of the
latter on the money question, and
intimating that he will have to vote
for Mr.. Harris, as it is preferable to
vote for a man who was wrong thirty
years ago, but is right now, rather
than one who was right thirty years
ago but who is wrong now.
A similar letter has been written to
F. L. Bond, of Salina, in which Mr..
Hackney expresses the hope that every
loyal Republican will withhold his
vote from Morrill, and Blue.
DR.. T. j. Reede, who was a member
of the Republican state convention
from COwley county, writes Hon. j.
W. Breidenthal that he will vote the
Populist ticket from head to heel,
except that he may vote for personal
friends on the county ticket.

The Preacher Statesman, Parkhurst

Free Baptist.
The famous New York divine, in
his address before the Union Semi
nary boys, urged them to follow the
old testament prophets in reforming
the state. He said among other
things, these: what God thinks
most OF is not a man in his individual
character, but men in their mutual
and organized relations. Whenever
men rub against one another, there.
fore, the pulpit has something to say.
There is not live question in society
or state today that is not nine. tenths
of it question of morals. Undoubt-
edly the handling Of these matters in
the pulpit means friction, but there
will always be friction when there is
power on its way to effects. History
is going up hill and not down, and
that means heated bearings and
squeak in the wheels.
There are certain moral ideas to be
pushed. Who is going to push them
if the pulpit does not? There are
certain breaches of moral propriety
and decency on the part of the nation.
al or municipal government. Who is
going to protest if the pulpit doesn't?
The old prophets Of the Hebrews
were statesmen. There is not a great
deal Of craftsmanship in the pulpit OF
today, and outside of it there isn't
any-that | know Of. There is pol.
itics, but there is not craftsmanship
Politics is craftsmanship with the
moral gristle left out. Politics in
certain respects is great deal worse
than depravity pure and simple
Thoroughbred deprayity has the
courage Of its viciOusness. About
politics there is just that tincture Of
decency that makes it unreliable.
The politician is like one Of those

J. P. Hlndman, of Olathe, explains
his leaving the Republican party by
saying that he and other Republicans
by joining the PopuliStS are still ad-
vOcating the same measures which,
as Republicans, they advocated four
years ago. But, says he, the sO-called
Republican party of Kansas has now
abandoned every principle set out in
its former platforms. Their present
platform is merely rehaSh of the
views Of John Sherman and Grover
Cleveland. Today the party is as 81
lent as the grave upon every living
issue before our people. The plat
form points to the past, but under
takes nothing for the future. There
was time when the Republican par
ty boldly met every public question
and was the advocate Of every pOlit-
ical reform. Today it is party with
out voice upon the great and living
issues confronting the people of our
state. Its platform, in the language
of ex-senator ingalls,, is "all things to
all men," And this with the avowed
design Of obtaining possession of the
state offices. There are doubtless
many who can still be held in the
party ranks under these conditions,
but thousands of the oldest and trueSt
of Kansas Republicans have fOrsaken
the party and will never return.

tBy Associated sPress)
SEDAN, Kan. Aug. s2A-After q lapse
Of four years the alleged murderers OF
Johnny Fraser. a ppvpinent cattle
dealer In this county, have been cap

and In consequence were Threatened
with death.
They paid no heed to the threats, but
In May, 1890, Gibson was found dead In
hotel at Moline. In June Fraser was
missed, and after a long search his body,
covered with knife cuts. was found In
a neighboring stream. Gibson's death
was thought to have been caused by
heart disease, but the finding of Fraser
body led to the murder theory. Since
then search for the murderers has
quietly progressed, eliminating to-day
