"Kiiier whales" Attack Cow whale and

"Eiiier whaics'' Attack Cow whale and
flcr Calf.
An attack made by three killer
whales upon a COW whale and her
calf In a lagoon along the coast just
south Of san Diego recently was ono
Of the most exciting fish fights ever
observed. The COW whale was of the
California gray species, the calf being
three times the bulk Of the largest
Of the killer whales The latter made
alternate assaults upon the old whale
and her offspring, finally killing the
calf which sank in five fathoms of
water. During the terrific struggle
the mother was nearly exhausted, re.
ceiving several deep cuts about the
throat and lips When the carcass
Of the calf settled to the bottom the
three killers descended, bringing up
large pieces of flesh, which they de.
voured at the surface. While they
were thus gOrgin. themselves the

advocates OF gold monometaIlism and in
actively mourn.
The ease with which Grover Cleveland
construed the life out of the national dem
ocratio platform convinced me that the
only hope for true bimetaIIism lay in the
election of bimetsllists to Office, and be-
fore the republican convention was held
had firmly resolve d to vote for no man for
any Legislative Office who was opposed to
the free coinage of silver.
In my opinion, John Sherman L. no
nrmer advocate of gold monometallism
than Is the republican candidate for con-
gresham at large; and although he may
declare himself a thousand times in favor
OF bimetallism, his voice and vote, If
elected, would be given for a single, gold
standard.
Bimetallism is q term Of recent origin.
webster defines bimetallism as the legal
lied use Of two metals in the currency of
. country at a fixed relative value. Both
the definition and derivation of the term
forbid it's use to designate any arrange
ment whereby one metal is favored at the
expense of the other.
No man Is a bimetallist who does not
favor the legalized use of both metals
without discrimination.
No one could claim to be trimetallist
because he believed in the use of copper
pennies in connection with gold and sill
yer. He is no bimetallist who opposes
the coinage of silver on equal terms with
gold.
Blue belongs to the class who assured
"a that the repeal of the Sherman Law
would be followed by wave of une1am-
pied prosperity. SO far as have heard,
Kansas has not been drenched with it.
These men now explain that the pros
emit depression is due to the fear of in
furious tariff legislation. All present
indications denote either no tariff legisla-
ton or immaterial reductions.
30 long as present financial conditions
remain, prosperity will continue to be q
Wtl-o'-th wisp.
The lack of confidence which prevents
Investments is justified by the continued
falling of prices. This depression will not
cease until the volume Of currency in or
culation becomes adequate to the business
demands.

bill should not be passed. The scheme
was to place the name of the republican
candidate or contestant, in all cases Of
tie, In the hands of the drawee, and not in
the hat, so that the drawing would result
IN sure thing for the republicans; later,
TO secure Q deadlock in the house, and
submit case to the supreme court. These
delays, it was presumed, would exhaust the
time of the session, so that all railroad
legislation would be defeated, which they
did.
The legislature of 1898 decided TO sub
NIT the suffrage amendment TO the people
in the election of 1894.
The republicans, in convention assem-
bled, lacked the necessary courage to in
dorse the republican house. They also
demonstrated lack of conscience In the
defeat of all of the prominent leaders in
the legislative war. .------ 49,.
Their platform is a makeehift, and does
not shed ray of light upon the issues of
the hour. The selection of the candidates
and committeeman demonstrates that the
machine is to grind the same old grist,
and that the same old luhricating oil will
be used to run it.
Believing that the peoples party plat
form and candidates embody most nearly
my ideas, of all the parties now in the
field, shall give them my vote and hearty
support. Yours truly, E. B. WHALEY.

From Cheyenne County.

1t ts reported that Hon. T. F. Egan, OF
st. francis, has joined the peoples party.
II the report is true, we gladly welcome
Mr.. Egan to the party of the people,
Att0ood Patriot.
Mr.. Egan has been a prominent demo
crat. Three years ago he was the nomi-
nee OF that party for state senator. He
says: u am with the party that is fighting
John Sherman and his henchmen and
Grover Cleveland and his henchmen." In
other words, he is populist, and is doing
good work for the party
Geo. Lawless, ex -county superintendent,
and for several years secretary of the
democratic central committee, and at
present deputy county treasurer, has
enough of democracy, and will henceforth
be found in the populist ranks working
with all his might for the success of the
party.
Chas. Gates, a rustling farmer of Lawn
Ridge township, who has always voted
with the grand old party, has signed the
populist club pledge, and is now shouting
for Lewelling.
Thomas 81. Williams, a we'll to do farmer
of Calhoun township, and democrat from
infancy, says that party gave him a
chance" to get out, and he "got." He
is populist from the word 60" and
does MT care who knows it.
A. W. and John @. Kackson, of Eureka
township, father and son, heretofore demo
Gratis, have joined the populists. They
are right in the harness, and doing excel
lent work for the party.
W. Don Fowler and q. A. Rathbun, of
Benkelman township, have left the old
psrties. Mr.. Fowler was Q democrat and
Mr.. Rsthbun was republican. Now they
are populists, and are ready to prove It
whenever the occasion presents itself.
Another recent recruit is Ben. GaIloup,
Of Benkelman township. He has always
been q republican, but says he has con-
Guided that republicans are democrats, and
uice uerso, and that the, pOpulist party is
good enough for him.
w. 8. Coleman, of Lawn Ridge township,
a prominent democrat, has got his eyes
opened, and is now "stumping" the
country for the populists, He is a worker,
and is valuable addition to our ranks.
These are only few of the many promi-
nent members of the two old parties who
have recently joined our ranks, and dozens
more are coming. Whoop 'er up, boys;
We II soon have the graveyard filled

Judge J. p. Hindman'S Letter.

The following letter was written by
Judge j. p. Hindman, of Olathe, to the
Kansas City Star, and will explain itself:
Your issue of the 18th inst. contained a
ispatch from Olathe to the effect that I
would be a candidate before the populist
congressional convention, at Paola, and
containing the further statement, that
after the election of 1889 l became a pro
hibitionist, but last year espoused the
cause of the pOpulists, and made some
speeches during the campaign. The first
part of this statement is incorrect In
1890, not only supported the republican
ticket, but advocated the principles of the
party as set out in the state platform
Now, with tens of thousands of the citi
zens of Kansas who were identified with
the republican party four years ago, am
identified with the populist party. If
asked why we have changed our political
principles, we reply We have not changed
We are to- day advocating the same polit
lcal measures, the same legislation, which,
as republicans, we favored four years ago,
But the so-called republican party of
Kansas has abandoned every principle set
out in its former platforms. Four years
ago the state platform demanded the
free coinage of silver. The present plat
form is simply rehash of the views of
John Sherman and President Cleveland
-Four years ago Kansas republicans advo-
GATED reduction of tariff duties. This
year the platform is, "We adhere to the
republican doctriI of protection" In
1890 the party boldly advocated many
measures of vital interest to the people of
Kansas. To-day it is as silent as the
grave upon every living issue before our
people, and its only reference to state
legislation is this: I'VE favor national
and state legislation for the encourage
ment of irrigation"
The platform points to the past, but
undertakes nothing for the present
and promises nothing for the future.
There was a time when the republican
party of Kansas boldly met every public
question and was the advocate of every
political reform. To-day it is a party
without voice upon the great and living
issues confronting the people of our
state. Ite platform, in the language of
ex-senator Ingalls,, sis all things to all
men," And this was the avowed design
of obtaining possession Of the state Off
ces. 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. JP, HIND~AH

F. w. FraSiuS' Letter.
Editor Clud. Voice.

Editor Clyde Voice:
Permit me through your columns to
give my reasons why refuse to longer
affiliate with the democratic party an
der its present leadership. Coming into
power two years ago, it was in q position
to give the country wholesome legislation;
but IL has violated every pledge it gave
and every promise it made in the platform
which secured for it the grand victory of
1892.
In it's platform the democratic party
Recommended the prohibitory lo-per-cent. tax
on state bank issues repealed.
But the democratic Congress killed, with
ont debate, a bill introduced for this pur-
pose. The platform
Denounced republican protection - Q fraud.
But, after the tugglers in Congress COM
plete the tariff bill, it will require Q
powerful lens to discover where demo-
cratic revenue begins or republican pro-
lection ceases.
The platform demanded
The use of both gold and silver ~ the, standard
money OF the country, and the coinage Of both gold
and silver without discriminating against either
metal.
Nevertheless, the democratic Congress
Disseminated against silver by the uncon-
the President, by vetoing the seigniorage
bill, finally completed its overthrow.
The platform denounced
The trusts and comb nations which are designed
to enable capital to secure more than its just share
OF the joint products of capital and labor.
And yet democratic Congress permits
the agents and representatives of trusts
to dictate the schedules and shape tariff
legislation.
Having repudiated its platform, can
not see how the party, with its record of
broken promises, and with the Presidents
settled financial policy becoming the pol
10y of the party, can again go before the
people and expect them to believe in its
sincerity.
The utterances of the party platforms
and the acts of the party leaders cannot
be harmonized. In fact, do not see any
reason for the continued existence Of the
party under these conditions, because the
republican party has prior right to this
policy, and is better prepared to advocate
and support it.
Mr.. Editor, there should be more patri-
Otism and less partisanship in politics.
Since attaining my majority, have fol
lowed the democratic party, but / snail
follow IL no farther. l am not leaving Il;
il has left me. The democrats platform
OF 1899 70 good doctrine to day, and am
still In favor of low tariff that win "lead
to ultimate free trade" free silver coin
age, at the ratio Of 16 to l; an income tax,
and government legal-tender paper cur
rency to replace national bank notes. This
being my political creed or principle,
think can best serve it by voting the
peoples party ticket in the coming else
ton. Respectfully, F. W. FBAsIus.
