gates at large for each county and one add
ttonal delegate for each $50 votes or major

A REPUBLICAN, MINISTER.

Inc following extract from a repub
lican minister's address on decoration
day, should be carefully thought Oyer
by every old soldier as well az
those who support the parties
that have brought these conditions
upon us. 1t isYery unfortunate that SC
few have the courage to proclaim the
truth on these occasions. We clip the
extract from the Anthony Bulletin;
and ask everyone to remember that il
is an address from a republican and not
calamity" pop.
The Rev. Arthur S. Henderson, of
theCongregationalchurch ofWellington
in delivering the Memorial address for
the Grand Army in the pulpit of the
Rev. Botkin, last Wednesday, said:
wrong that was conquered when it
assumed the shape of rebellion has
since then assumed other forms and is
today assailing the interests of multi
tudes of our fellow citizens and threat
ening the life of the nation itself. It
assumes not one form but many. There
is the bitterness into which men have
fallen and which causes them to deny
the patriotism Of those who differ from
them on political questions and which
causes them to magnify the difference
until they lose sight of the interests
they have in common. There is the
political corruption which is abroad in
the land, which enables demagogues to
sit in the places which statesmen can
only fill and gives the boss supreme
power in the decisions Of elections and
the formation and policy of adminlstra-
tions and puts municipal governments
under the control of the worst elements.
There is the anarchial spirit and teach
ings of certain classes of the foreign
population which unrestricted immi-
grafton has added to our great cities.
There is the increasing differentiation
of classes caused by our unjust social
few men to lay hold on and control the
wealth of the country without produc-
ing dollar of it, while those who pro-
duce it get the merest pittance of it.
In the Newspaper we read of the strikes
and riots. The militia is called out to
quell them. The nation is in a deplor-
able condition that depends only upon
military and police force to preserve
peace. There IS depression and inn.
morality on every hand; women are
given the alternative of starvation or
prostitution by the richest employees of
the city. They call this a Christian
nation, but it is not Christian nation.
AS nation governed by Christian
principles, this nation is woefully de-
ficIent."
The speaker called upon the Grand
Army to fight these wrongs, as it had
fought armed wrong. The Rev. Mr..
Henderson Isl republican. The Grand
Army does not know what to think of
the address.-Bulletin.

81 believe no greater calamity could
befalI the farmers of Kansas than such
a crop as either that of 1891 or 1892. y
G. Wood Davis.
Mr.. farmer, how does that sound to
you? Doyou believe that your only
saviour is found in the failure OF crops?
Carrying that theory out, the more bad
seasons we have the more prosperous
we would become. Over-prOduction is
a very lame argument, especially when
there are millions of people starving to
death and many more millions that
subslst on very small portion of the
breadstuffs to which they are entitled
and which their hunger Graves. Our
capacity for consumption is as great as
our production. While the store rooms
and ware houses are overloaded, count
less millions of American citizens are
dependant upon a cold uncharitable
world. Able bodied men falling be-
meath the keen sword of starvation in
a land of plenty simply because vicious
legislation has thrown them out Of en-
pioyment. We take these bright ~
sayings of Mr.. Davis, from a republic
can paper which approves all that he
(Davis) says. II a drouth is blessing
we were abundanuy blessed last year,
but we hope we won't get the second
blessing this year. It's too thin breth-
rem, it's too thin. Suppose you spring
something new for a change.

SOME democratic papers can max

SOME democratic papers can make a
great hurrah for free silver, but when
anyone says aught against Grover, the
Fat. or the policy he has pursued, how
quickly their ire raises and causes the
miserable imps to go off half cooked.
Among the above mentioned is the wee
small 1x4 Tomahawk, or sparrow hawk
or wild hog fed on prunes whose pro-
prietor's brain capacity is infinitely
smaller than the sheet Mr.. Petit John"
fain would edit. IT'S of no use to try
to dodge; GroverCleveland has betrayed
the people and he deserves all the re-
Duke he is getting. 1t may not be dis
cussipg the silver but it IS cussing the
champion of tyranny who has given his
whole attention to the disFnpting and
bankrupting of the American people
1t may be 'idiotic'for one to dare 70 say
hard things about. or to condemn the
great King Grover; but we have a
different name for it.

A Special Offer.

Or the many populist exchanges COM
ing to our offica, none spends so much
money to get the suppressed Washing
ton news before its readers as the Nom
copformlst. Yes, suppressed news.
What the plutocratic papers have been
careful to keep their readers from find
ing out, the two tireless correspond
epts of the Nonconformist have dug up
and sent the paper for the benefit OF its
thousands of readers. Many q secret
has thus leaked out that the plutocracy
never meant that the common worka-
day people should know.

whereby We can send the Noncoatorm-

THE congressional committeeman of
Barber county has received word from
w. L. Brown chairman of the com.
mittee, that the convention will be
called some time in July probably about
the 18th or 18th. He also asks where
Chester is, saying that he seems to
have dropped into utter oblivion, since
his unfortunate denomination. Where
is Chester? Geographically, he is in
Barber county, politically he is in the
soup, and social admirers will scorch
their fingers badly in their vain efforts
to answer his piteous appeals, and he lp
him out.

MCKINLEY Will speak at Ottawa, the
latter part of this month. His talk
doesn't go far with Kansans. The rob-
Der tariff champion was here in years
past but was of no valuable service to
his party,as amply demonstrated. The
people of Kansas are aware of the fact
that Mr.. Mckinley is the author of a
bill which largely contributed to the
cunning of the western people and they
won't be honeyed by an artful, deceitful
tongue.
