MORRILL'S SPEECH.

Major Morrill, has come and gone and
We think the republican vote will not
be increased by reason of his speech.
| eral weeks he had been calling popuIiSt
and democratic sinners to repentance.
He delivered his address more after
the manner and tone of a preacher than
a political speaker. He touched the
tariff question:; but presented no new
arguments in favor of protection. He
posed as the cOlored mans friend, and
spent the greater part of his time in
working upon the feelings of the old
soldiers and denOuncing the democratic
administration for enforcing the pen
sion laws made by the republicans. He
told of a numDer of pensions which he
secured for applicants, while he was a
member of congress, which had been
hanging fire for many years. He for
got to mention the equal suffrage ques-
tion, and considered it policy to ignore
the prohibition question, as he had
doubtless been Informed that prohibit
tion was not popular in this locality.
In short his speech was one of per-
sonal praise, abuse of the democrats,
and ridicule of the populists, with very
little logical reasoning. While he did
not make any converts to republican
ism he succeeded in convincing his
hearers that he was "a republican,
The audience was composed of nearly
one half ladies who went there conf

Congressional Committee Acts.

Pursuant to call the democratic con-
gressional committee OF the seventh
Kansas district met in the parlors of
the Grand Central hotel. Great Bend,
at p. m. Chairman l.. SilveY Of Lar
ned called the meeting to order. Upon
roll call % members Of the committee
were present either in person or by
instructed proxies.
The following resolution was offered
and passed by vote Of 20 to s, viz:
WHEREAS. the congressional con-
vention held at Hutchinson, Kansas.
August 9Th, 1894, failed to nominate a
candidate, be it
RESOLVED this committee
now proceed to nominate democratic
candidate for congress in this the 9TH
congressional district Of Kansas.
The name of Jerry Simpson was
placed In nomination, and on roll call
was nominated by vote of 19 for to
9 against.
While there was an honest difference
of opinion as to whether or not it would
be policy to place Jerry Simpsons name
on the ticket, there was not a commit
teeman present who expressed himself
as opposed to the election of Jerry, ex-
pressing the belief that, between Long
and Simpson, the democrats of this
district would pretty generally vote for
the latter, no matter what action the
committee might take.

THE populists endorsed female suf
frage in their state convention, but are
now trying to prove that they did not
mean it. They are denouncing Nor
rill-and justly so-for crawfishing on
his gold standard position, yet they
would themselves crawfish on the suf-
frage question. Let not the pretences
of either fool the people. The populist
party is for female suffrage and Nor
rill is opposed to free silver. The ma
jority of Kansas pcpulists are from the
ole republican party, and as general
rule are the element that has favored
taking up with every new fad that has
been sprung to catch votes, regardless
of what effect 1t might have on the
reputation or financial standing of
Kansas Thousands of the more con
servative pOpulists see this, and will
this year vote with the party which
bravely takes stand for Kansas and
her true interests and attempts to
"crawfish'' on nothing. We cannot
but believe that the majority of Kan
sas voters this fall will vote no on the
amendment proposition, and will not
only vote against" but mark their
ballots for the democratic from top to
bottom, bravely, honestly and Loyalty.

IT IS estimated that the Mckinley
law has given to Louisiana sugar men
yearly a sum which would buy for
every family in the state, 2 barrels of
patent flour, 200 pounds of granU4ated
sugar. 80 gallons of kerosene oil, so
yards of cotton cloth, 80 yards of prints,
so yards of blue jeans, pair of rubber
boots, pairs mems shoes. 2 pairs wom-
ems shoes, 10 pairs children's shoes, 10
pounds coffee. and pounds of tea, be-
sides leaving them S25 or $50 in the
bank. AS thousands of Louisiana peO-
pie have no interest in any sugar indus
try, Uncle Samuel would have been
more equitable if he had distributed
the groceries and clothing to the whole
state instead of turning them into a
subsidy for a comparatively small num-
ber of wealthy persons.-St. Louis

The Road to Ruin,

The newspapers are filed with stories
OF defalcatlons, forgerles and murders,
and in many instances these crimes are
committed by young men of good fam
ilY-well educated, nice young fellows
who are above suspicion until they sud-
denly become full fiedged criminals.
In the great majority of such cases
the young men who go wrong have been
INDUCED by their parents, and have
Deen allowed to live beyond their means
and grow up in idlenesS. 1t is a COM
mon thing TO find ard-wOrking father
who is SO proud of his gentlemanly son
that he cheertully supports him and
supplies him with pocket money, hop
ing that the yOungster will some day
get into light and genteel occupation
in which he can easily make money
without working for it. This hope is
generally disappointed. The mistaken
father foTgets that an idle brain is the
DEVILS workshop. When a lad leads
an utterly idle life for few years, and
sometimes for only a few months, the
chances are that he will form bad hab-
its and bad associations. His eXpendi-
lures will rapidly increases; and he will
soon find it difficult to supply his
wants.
When an idle young man reaches this
point he grows diScontented and rest
less. How can he get large sum of
money without working for il? This is
the problem which he is trying to solve.
He envieS every well-dreSSed man who
displays roll of bills. He complains
of his hard luck, and begins to hate his
more prosperous acquaintances- He
starts on the downward road, gets in
debt, CANDLES and drinks, or if he eS-
ThoS0 UiPPC his brain iG
by his feverish greed.
To such a man temptation is bound
to come sooner or later. Perhaps he
misappropriates the funds of others or
commits forgery. Possibly in an evil
hour the sight of money in the posses
sion of an unsuspecting companion in
lonely place leads to murder. In these
days when the love of money is SO uni
versal there are many such murders
committed by men who are trying to
live without work
The father who supports an idle boy
and encourages him in the idea that in
some way re will be able to go through
life well fed and well dressed. with
money in his pocket, without striking
lick to earn it. is training his son for
the chaingang or the gallows. Even if
the boy is too clever or too timid to
plunge into crime he is looked upon
with contempt as drOne who is Of no
use to the community. Industrious
men are unwilling to have these fellows
visit their daughters or associate with
their sons, and their old playmates
who are making their way in the world
by honest labor shun their companion
ship.
In this country the pariahs of society
are the nan without means who are
determined to live in idleness and make
somebody else foot the bill. If among
our readers there is father with such
a son let him lose no time in forcing
him to go to work. Any reasonable
stretch of parental authority is justified
in such a case.-Atlanta Constitution.

would not know that there had ever
been any hard times.
Chas. Downey, formerly drayman at
this place has moved to Missouri to try
his fortune there for a while.
Sam Thomas now has one of the
neatest and most convenient livery
barns to be found anywhere in the
country.
Gus Schrapel finished threshing
about the middle of the week, being the
last machine to pull in, in this neigh
borhood.
Very few men are irrigation enthusi-
asts, who do not own a farm, and for
the same reason a batchelor does not
like children.
H. E. Turck, who has been working
at the jewelry trade at P. Doherty's at
intervals for the past two months, has
moved to Ellinwood and will devote his
entire time to this business hereafter.
Something quite unusual for this
time of the year-the river is running
bank full. In all probability it will not
go dry any more this fall and in case it
does not it will supply an excellent ice
harvest.
We regret exceedingly to announce
that Prof. and Mrs. Bullock, who have
made Ellinwood their home during the
past ten years. and who enjoy the dis
tinction of being model traits of human
ity, and educators of the first water, to
whom many young people of Ellinwood
and of other points in the state owe
their first elements of success, have
made arrangements to move to King
man, where Mr.. Bullock will be more
conveniently accessible to his farms in
the southern edge of Reno county They
will probably leave about the first OF
October, in order to vacate the house
in which they now live, for Treasurer
Bosse who intends to move back to this
| city about that time.

REPUBLICANS, we want you to re-
member that your papers and speakers
have all along been charging that the
new tariff bill would kill the beet sugar
industry. Do you believe it? Well, if
you do, we want to disabuse your mind.
Only last week, out in Oregon, a com
pany raised one million dollars to be
invested III an immense beet sugar
plant. We want you to remember these
things, Such facts are worth putting
dOWn.-LyOns Democrat.

UNDER our old-time free-wool policy
fiOcks increased in numbers and the
price of wool was maintained because
there was demand for wool. Foreign
woods are needed for admixture with
our own woods in this country, and
when their importation is diminished
by tariff duty the demand for Ameri-
can woods necessarily falls off. Under
high protection on wools- 1ocks of
sheep have diminished and prices for
wool have gone down. Already the
price of domestic wool has increased in
this country since the passage of the
senate bill. A month ago American
woods solo in New. York and Boston
for from 19 to 81 cents pound, accord
ing to quality Since then the demand
has increased, and the prices now
range from % to 81 cents.-Winfield
Tribune.

THE DEMoCRAT editor was favored

Fugate of the Newton Journal and
Capt Q. S. Coffin of the Hutchinson

staunch democrats, unterrifed and un-
conquerable, strong in the faith and
whooping it up for Daye Overmyer. 1t
is indeed encouraging to mingle occa-
SiOnally with these men who have for
so many long years battled for democ-
racy against overwhelming odds; and
we cannot out feel and believe that in
good time they will be rewarded by
seeing Kansas redeemed from the rule
and influence of ism-mOngers and
crank -foundries, and placed in the line
of progression and renewed prosperity.

THERE is nothing ia the national

out all right, and in the near future
democracy will be triumphant.

THAT this country is experiencing

any attention to public matters and

Even some OF the republican leaders Of
national prominence are manly enough
to acknowledge the fact and to give
credit where credit is due. Hon.

said: ''The country is approaching an
era of unusual prosperity, and when it
shall.havesbeen reached it in its fullness
the one class of men that the country
will most despise must be the political
calamity howlers who have sought to
hinder the people in their effort to
recover from the financial and indus
trial paralysis" The truth could not
have been put in palmer words. ard

have the past year been predicting dire
disaster to follow any action of the
democratic congress, should study care
fully this statement from Mr.. Depew

making of themselves. Mckinley.

the only rain an occasional light

That is the first shock felt here in
