Thanks to the Sentinel.

The Sentinel highly compliments the
ADVOCATE upon an expression Of an opin-
ion on an act of the President that was
contrary to alleged general sentiment. We
return thanks to our esteemed neighbor, and
regret that we cannot return the compliment.
A journal that runs along with public
sentiment, whether that sentiment is right
or wrong, is more of detriment than a
blessing to a community. People are some
times led by excitement to do very foolish
and rash things, and political sentiment
sometimes runs to extremes. Under such
circumstances the only hope of the country
is the conservative press. The people are
always right when reason has its sway, and
it is the duty of the press to stay extreme
action at all times
And the party press, what value is 1t if
it is to run blindly along with the party ?
Its duty is rather to see that heresies do
not creep in, that the organization is not
used for selfish ends and that it keeps in
the line of its principles The paper that
does not criticise wrongful acts of individ-
uals or of the party, or the wrongful acts
of the Administration when its party is in
control, lacks that independence that alone
can give it power and influence for good
While thanking our neighbor for Its
praise, we cannot recall single instance OF
the Sentinel criticising the extreme meas
ures Of its own party. 1t goes along and
applauds every act, or maintains dead
silence, and often defends individuals, high
in its party councils, when their bad records
have been attacked Let the Sentinel fol-
low the ADVOCATES policy of combating
error wherever found, and of turning pub
lie sentiment, in or outof the party. in the
right channel.

Suffering in Western Kansas.

DENVER, Aug 1T. c. Henry of the Col
orado Land and Immigration Company has
Just returned from Central and Western Kan
sas. To United Press representative he
said
MANY counties in the western third of the
State of Kansas have already lost at least
four .ffths of their population, and in some
county organization cannot be maintained.
The condition of the people is appalling in
many districts | saw hundreds of teams
going eastward with loads of household goods
thrown hastily into hay wagons.
''The condition as compared with former
droughts in Kansas is without a parallel.
Heretofore the farmers have been able to
procure loans on their farms TO make up the
shortage in crops, but now they have no
equities left, and il they had the loan COM
panes will MOI let out dollar on Kansas
land. There is no new corn, no vegetables,
little stock, horses are worth nothing, and in
the central counties where there is q little
wheat crop it is worth but 80 cents bushel.
The people are literally impoverished, and
the business men are caught the same as the
farmers.
"Up to three weeks ago there were the
finest prospects for good corn crop. II
vas almost made, and farmers obtained credit
ON the strength of it. Three days of hot
winds burned it up, and now they have nc
possible chance to pay.

Tariff Agreement-Duty of Demo-
Gratis.

An agreement on tariff bill now seems
probable and it is well for the Democratic
party that it is Sc. The long delay in
action is not only keeping the country in
suspense, but antagonists among the rank
and file of the Democratic party are daily
growing, owing to the violent and often
senseless talk Of the press
All Democrats are for tariff reform-a
tariff for revenue-that freer trade with
other countries may be established, that
wider markets for our agricultural prod
nets may be found, and that an expansion
of foreign trade in American manufactures
may follow Upon this all are of one
mind, but Congress has found some diff :
Guilty in fixing schedules. In the mean
time some Democrats have regarded one
bill as the only true tariff reform measure
and some have just as decided views as to
the other. These opinions are not the
result of real information concerning either
bill, but they might as well be, for they
are as tenaciously held as if they were.
And in this lies danger to Democratic sue
cess in the coming elections. Each house
of Congress will have to concede something
to the other, and the bill agreed upon will
be neither the House nor the Senate bill.
The serious points of disagreement were
very small, or were confined to but two or
three schedules, but the party divided on
them Just as the two houses did. The
Senators and Representatives can harmon
ize and all support the new bill, not be-
cause it is what all desired, but because it
is the best bill that could be agreed upon,
because it will give some relief from I'M
necessary and therefore unjust taxation,
because it will tend to give us freer trade,
wider markets and general revival of
business, and is in line with the Democratic
promise to impose taxation for revenue
rather than for protection. But the rank
and file, who have become deep partisans
of one or the other measure will not so
readily surrender their opinions, and dis
appointment will result in lukewarmness.
When a bill is passed it will be the duty
of every Democrat to forego his individual
notions ON this or that schedule, and to
heartily uphold the measure. 1t will be
the duty of the Democratic press to explain
the bill to the people and to show its bene-
hts. Nothing but harm can come Of con-
tending for individual notions. Every
tariff bill that has Deen passed, from the
foundation of the government to the pres
ent day. was the result of compromise and
concession-not compromise Of principle,
hut a concession of individual opinions on
tax rates. Every regular appropriation
bill goes to conference committee, and
items of disagreement are by it compro-
missed.
The duty of Democrats is plain-get
together and support the tariff bill as
it is passed. Those who cannot do this
have more regard for their own ideas, more
pride in their own opinions, than they have
interest in Democratic success.
