question proposed to all polit-
ical parties this year is what
do you propose to do to put the idle
men of this country at work that will
enable them to live deCently; and
what do you propose to do to raise
prices Of farm products above cost Of
production? The issues of this cam
psign are economic and social issues ;
they are ISSUES involving the right Of
lsboring men and women TO live upon
the face of the earth, and to be pro-
tected in the common rights Of hu-
manity and the enjoyment of a fair
share Of that which they produce.
These are the questions that are to
be met this year, gentlemen, and you
cannot escape them by any cry Of
corruption which your political sCav-
engers can raise against your oppo-
nents. Above all the din and noise
of your Mckinley tin horns, and
above the odor of your cesspoOl cam
paign, one fact stands out as clear as
sunlight, that in all contests between
organized capital and labor your
sympathies and your efforts are all
in behalf of capital; and though this
fact, for the time being, gives you
power and secures you fsvors, the
power of numbers and the principles
of eternal justice are against you and
are sure to overwhelm you at last.
The day of reckoning is at hand.
What have you to propose for the
improvement of existing conditionsG
The echoes die away in the distance
without answering, and there Is no
answer to be had.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.


Over in our neighborlng city of
Lawrence the city officials, who, by
the way, are good orthodox republi-
cans, are charged with taking bribes
Of jointists for permission to run
their joints unmolested, and the good
republican Lawrence Journal is hor.
rifed that anyone should think Of
Crediting the story on such testimony
as has been offered in support of it.
Here is what the Journal says about
it in the issue of August /:
One Of the convicted jointists now "doing
time" on the city rock pile, is said TO have
made affidavit that he had paid money for
the privilege Of selling liquor unmolested.
Such statement made under such Circum-
stances and By a man found guilty Of such
a charge has not great deal of weight
with anyone. That the ChaEges made have
any foundation, except in malice or for DO
ifc6l ends, is not believed. And particu-
larly Is this the case a. far a. Mr.. Spangler
is concerned. He has not only made a
thoroughly efficient city attorney, but has
been unquestiOnAbly honest in his every
action.
Now, we have a case here in To-
peka that has some features of re-.
semblance to that IN Lawrence. Our
good republican city authorities had
q man here in the county jail who
was not only q jointist but a notori-
ously bad character all around. He
was under various charges, and has
several names that he takes on and
puts of as circumstances require. It
seems that our good republican
county attorney put up job with
this fellow to make affidavit that he
had bribed our POpulist chief and

they chose 7. J. Hudson, and let the
red'slipper statesman out This dis
gruntled Clover so that he then de-
clared he would not support the
Peoples party ticket in 1892, and for
once, SO far as can be learned, he
kept his word. He had himself in
terviewed to show that he did not
approve of Popullst methods, and
made himself generally ridiculous
during that campaign.
Following all the trouble men
toned above came a divorce suit
instituted by Mrs. Glover, in which
our congressman figured as defend
ant, beng charged in the petition
with extreme cruelty and several
other faults. The suit went by de-
fault, and Mrs. @. obtained her bill
Of divorce. Here it must be added
that one Of the last acts Of Clover's
official life, the only one to gain for
him any notorlety was introducing a
bill in the house to amend the divorce
law so as to afford better protection
for men with fsult-fnding wives. And
one Of his first unofficial acts after
the expiration Of his term was to
marry the woman with the "red slip
pers." The former Mrs. Glover is
the inventor Of the term "red slip
pers" as used in connection with this
case.
During 1893 Glover moved to Kan
sas City, Mo-, to engage in the live
stock business, and whether he is
now resident Of Missouri or Kansas
is of as little consequence as is the
matter Of which party he affiliates
with. His announcement was in the
shape Of an address TO my Farmers
Alliance friends" stating that he in
tends to support the republican
ticket.

A HUGE BURLESQUE.

The most ludicrous joke Of the
campaign is that of Ben Glover, Of
Missouri, announcing through the re-
publican press Of Kansas that he has
left the Peoples party and gone back
to his old wsllow. If some defaulter
who had skedadled to a foreign ooun-
try to avoid disgrace and punishment
had sent back a similar announce
ment, it would not have caused any
less disappointment, though less
amusement, than this did.
It will be remembered that this
man Glover was once president Of
the State Farmers Alliance, and that
he was in 1890 elected congressman
from the Third district, his home
being then in Cowley county. At
that election his greatness ended. OF
all the Populist congressman elected
in this and other states, he was the
only one who was of neither use nor
ornament. He fell down, figuratively
speaking, before he was in congress
a week, and he has been houndering
around ever since trying to get his
head high enough above the earth to
be noticed. The nearest he came to
success in this effort was when he
got mixed up in a scandal with q
young woman whose red shoes at
trscted the congressmsn's attention
to such a degree that he neglected to
vote on several important questions
in the house. It is recorded, how
ever, that on one or two occasions,
even the young woman and the shoes
failed to keep him awake during an
important session.

No POpuliSt paper or speaker has en-
deaVOred TO answer the Gazette's question,
how could the government honestly get
possession Of the railrOads2- -Emporis Ca
zette, August 2.
That is where you are mistaken,
as you usually are. The ADVOCATE
answered your question some time
ago, but in order that you may not
be disturbed about it in your dreams
we will answer it again. Let the
government begin the work Of OBJ
tanning possession by forecloslng the
mortgage upon the Union PsCi fc
system just as an eastern money
loaner foreCloses the mortgage upon
a Kansas farm when payment Of
interest or principal is defsulted.
After obtaining possession Of this
system and beginning the operation
Of it in the interest Of the people,
it will then be time enough to sug-
gest a method for obtaining posses
sion of other roads. Has the Gazette
any objection to this plan!

We have observed for several days
past, the announcement in republic
can and democratic papers that Mrs.
Diggs has gone to Colorado for her
health. AS long as this announce
ment wss confined 10 those papers
we did not think il worth while TO
notice it, but it is beginning now 70
appear in Popullst papers, and it IL
therefore time to contradict it. Boys,
when you see such things IN the old
party papers they are not 90. Mrs.
Diggs has not gone to Colorado, nor
is she intending to 60, and she viii
continue to make things interesting
for Kansas republicans until after
the November election. The wish
was probably father to the thought
with the inventor Of this story.

REPUBLICAN papers are now pub
fishing the tale that President Debs
rode from Chicago to Terre Hauts in
a Pullman car. The story was started
by the Chicago Herald, one Of
Banker Walsh's organs-the one
that he offered TO devote to the cause
Of the strikers if the American Rail-
way union would transfer its de-
pOsits to his bank. Having failed in
this speculative scheme, the Herald
has filed its columns daily with
falsehOOds concerning the men its
owners sought to blsckmail, and
every plutOcratiC sheet in the coun-
try is repeating those falsehoods as
fast as they appear.

FIVE FlREMEN INJURED.

Burned Out

A serious fire broke out today In the top
story OF the Phenix Building, which ex.
tends from Exchange place to Westmins-
ter street In Providence. Underneath on
the next floor was the armory OF the
Providence companies OF the Second Reg
iment, for which great concern was felt
as the encsmpment OF the militia
begins next Monday ana II their equip
ments were destroyed or damaged IL
would seriously Inconvenience the en-
campment.
The firemen responded quickly and
streams Of water were quickly turned on
and the new water tower did good service
10 deluging the top story of the building.
Before the fire was extinguished a large
portion OF the top story fell, as did also
some OF the side wallis of the building
which seriously damaged the adjoining
building which is occupied by John Nc
Manus q Go. clothiers and gents
furnishers, and as a consequences his
stock was considerably damaged by water
and smoke.
Five tiremeu were quite seriously In.
iured during the progress OF the hre by
falling walls and timbers and were re-
moved in the ambulance, some tn their
homes and ahe more seriously injured
ones to the hospital.

In the beginning OF the game. Bannon
came to the bat ana obtained his first on
a bad tumble at third. Hannivan fol-
lowed, but retired with q fly to short
stop. Mcdonald was the next victim, but
went to first on an error at first. Roach
obtained q safe hit, which sent Bannon to
third and Mcdonald to second. Davis
knocked fly to center field and Bannon
started for home.
He reached the home plate as soon as
he ball, but Rollins put him out. Ii was
a tight place to be In and Rollins came
away with the forefinger OF his right
hand broken. He left the game and Ru-
pert was put In bis place. He took OF
his uniform and went down street, and
after having the finger dressed returned
to the scene OF the fight and was an In
terested spectator during the rest OF the
game. Both teams failed to score until
the third, when the visiting team made
three runs and the home team one.
The home team succeeded I'm keeping
the visitors down to three runs until the
seventh inning, In the meanwhile scoring
three runs themselves. In the sixth in
ming Fournier made base hit, went TO
second on an error of third base and stole
third. Moore was close behind him, and
on a hit by MeakiD both came In. Four
nIer reached the base all right and then
turned around In front OF the catcher,
thus stopping him from putting Moore
out. The umpire saw the act and called
the man out. Bannon won the hearty ap-
plause OF the crowd ny scoring his
first home run of the season. He had had
two strikes and three balls called on him
and was waiting for the next bali. He
got II right where he had been wanting
one and sent IL over the left field fence.
