Monday the President sent to the Senate his
third nomination for the Supreme Court va
cancy caused By the death of Justice Batch
ford The appointee was Senator Edward d.
White Of Louisiana. The nomination was en-
tirely unexpected but was received with gen.
eral satisfaction and promptly confirmed
The new Justice is forty-eight years old. and
will be the youngest member of the Court
He is very able and fine lawyer, has served
as 4 justice of the Supreme Court of Louisi-
ana, and has made brilliant record during
the four years of his senatorship. 1t is proba-
bic that the public welfare could not have
been better served than by this appointment,
except for the fact that the Senate loses one
ofits strongest members. BY the opposition
of Senator Hill 10 the previous nominations,
the State of New York, which has been repre-.
scented upon the Supreme Bench almost con-
tinuously since the organization Of the Court,
is now without a representative.

WHATEVER may be said, Senator
PETER is trying to earn his pay. When
ever there is nothing else to do he
writes out another bill and presents it
with speech. The fact, lif it be a
fact that he and his family draws
some $4,000 per annum will largely
account for his untiring effort 10 earn
1t by the introduction of bills.-Salina
Herald.
Come Padgett, don't try to palm off
these old republican lies on to your read
ers. as long as there is plenty of damag-
ing facts, in regard to the way our
country is run which ought TO occupy
that space. The fact of Senator PETERS
case is that he himself gets 5000 a
year, the same as all the senators.
Then he has a daughter who is an ex-
pert sten0gFRpher who holds position
as clerk Oh one Of the senate committees,
and son who is working at his trade
in the government printing establish
ment. All their salaries combined
would foot up less than $500 WHICH
makes difference of SI0,5O0. But this
is small matter-a $4,000 lie, for a
lie, it is hardly worth
neutrality-suspicious. Union.

THEN AND NOW.

TO give our readers an idea of g. O.
p. consistency we append the following
from the Wichita Eagle Of September,
1890, short time before the Mckinley
bill was passed. 1t will be remember
ed that the Eagle Is at present an ar
dent supporter of that Infamous meas
ure:
when the entire West, which is now
paying tribute to the East, beyond al
most her capacity, in the way of inter
est on mortgages and dividends on the
watered stocks of railroads, has been
nnally forecloSed upon all around, and
farther bankrupted by law which, as
MI. Blaine says protects every con-
and manufacturing east, Whit then
will the esteemed Republican say for
the poor thing, poor thing?"
AS for the Eagles reflection upon the
seven Kansas congressman and the
Kansas senators, that is no disparage-
ment to the Eagle. We ought not to
be held responsible for them, and we
don't propose to be. The Eagle stood
by Mr.. Plumb in his glorious and
righteous onslaught on the Mckinley
bill, and would stand by him though
his words threw him outside the pale
OF the senate republican caucus. His
fight was in the interest of Kansas, for
all her people, beyond shadow of a
doubt. With that Mckinley bill un-
modified, or in failure to in some way
..eyen up" its burdens for the West,
Kansas as well as many other western
states. will in '92 dish up wormwood
and gall for the republican candidate
for president"

The basis for said representation is two dele
gates at large for each county and one addi-
tional delegate for each $50 votes or major
fraction thereof, cast for Il. S. Osborne for
secretary of state, determined by adding the
vote cast for him in 1890 and 1892 and dividing
the result by two. Delegates to said conven-
ton will be elected by regularly called cOun-
ty convention of the party and it is recon-
mended that conventions for the election of
delegates to this convention be held in all
counties in the state on the cath day of May
1894 and that the primaries for electing dele
gates to said county convention be held on
Tuesday, the END day of May. at such places
"a may be designated by the call for county
conventions. 1t is also recommended that at
the county conventions held for the purpose
of electing delegates TO these conventions,
the county central committee for the cam
paign of 1894 be selected and that said COM
mittee meet Immediately after the adjourn
ment OF said convention for the purpose of
organizing; that the selection Of the county
committee be made the fret order of busine ss
in said convention after permanent organiZa-
ton. The secretary of said county conven-
ton will forward 10 the state chairman Il list
of the delegates and alternates, together with
a list OF the county central committee as Sc
lected, Immediately after the adjournment of
said convention, 1t is recommended that in
the selection of delegates to said state con-
vention, the several conventions refrain from
electing any state officer or state employee.
1t Is further recommended that all persons
irrespective of former party affiliations, who
believe In the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 10 to / who believe in
more money and less taxes; who believe in
strict economy in government affairs; who
believe in a graduated income tax; who be-
leve in government ownership of railroads;
who believe the promises made by the govern
ment to the soldier when he enlisted, be strict
ly fulfilled; who believe that freight and pas
senger rates in Kansas should be based on the
actual cost of construction and legitimate ex-
pense of operating the railroads and that such
rates should be reduced to correspond with
the reduced prices of products of labor; who
believe that the wages due railroad employees
should be first lien on all property of the
road, payable before any other claim, whether
the road is operated by the company or by re-
ceivers, and that no officer or stockholder of
any railroad should be appointed receiver
thereof, and who believe that the legislation
outlined herein will restore prosperity to the
country and enable thousands who are now
tramping the country in enforced idleness to
secure profitable employment and enjoy the
fruits thereof, be invited to participate in the
primaries and conventions.

WHAT THE pRAson,

IFrom the Lexington MOL IntellIRencer.l
The Kansas City Star, which some.
times claims to be democratic paper,
contains this squlb:
THE seventh district popuIist papers
are making the point against Chester
Long that he is handsome. But beauty
and all, he knocked 1880 popuiist
majority sky high, two years ago. and
he can hit the little old 500 majority
the same kind Of lick this year"
Suppose Chester Long can beat
Jerry Simpson!
Is that anything for q democrat to
crow over?
Would not true democrat, in Kan
sas, walk forty miles to vote for Simp-
son. or any other man, to down a re-
publicanp
Jerry beat Jim Hallowell, the best
stump speaker in the state; he then
heat Chester Long, and IL he lives he
will beat him again, and the Iutelli-
gencer wishes Jerry success IN Kansas.
Out there democrat has no show for
Office; his voice is unheeded, POLITICAL
lV; he is yellow cur at q bench show.
Success to the man or the party that
can overthrow republicanism, and teach
that party little political decency and
honesty. 1t carries prohibition on one
shoulder, and whisky on the ether;
God and-morality in one hand, while
the other hand Is held out for brides
from whisky-sellers. The supreme
bench will diStort law to shield repub-
lican rascals, and reverse itself when it
wishes to rob populist or democrat.
The great howl the republicans made
about the pOpulists' running the credit
OF the state is false. The republicans
nearly ruined the state; the popuIists
and democrats exposed the true condi.
tion Of affairs.
1t is strange that Missouri paper,
to be democratic, should
place straw in the way OF popullst
and fusion succ sss In Kansas.
Call it heresy If you will; but what
ever it IS, it is far better than repuk-
licanism.

THE dem ocracy of Missouri has made
a consummate ass Of itself. From the
way Dick Bland fought for the coinage
of silver in the house. one would almost
have been led to believe that Mr.. Bland
was really in earnest, but all the con-
fidence that the people might once have
had in his sincerity is quickly brought
to naught when they find him endorsing
the administration in the following
vigorous and unwarranted terms.
I'VE commend the patriotism, inteG-
rity ability and courage Of GroverC leve-
land; his earnest efforts in behalf Of
tariff reform, the purity and economy
of his administration

WHY didn't the republican congras.

WHY didn't the republican congress
sional convention at Newton this year
come out in their platform as they did
at Dodge City in 1890, and say, I'VE
favor the free and unlimited coinage of
silver" instead of saying, I'VE believe
that by wise legislation the annual out
put of the silver mines of our country
can be added to the money of the coun-
try without disturbing the equal val
ues OF our gold and silver coin?" Dear
reader, can you read between the lines?
Don't you see that wise legislation"
means a silver dollar at a ratio of
80 to or perhaps even worse? Don't
you see that the platform was espe cal
ly designed to ensnare voters and that
all their candidates are all monomet-
allists? A republican platform, these
days, is a curiosity.

How quick the railroad company
called upon Gov. Lewelling to order
out the militia when the Sanders Army
took possession of q train, and that
too before it was shown that the local
authorities were resisted. The men
didn't have q firearm near them and
were taken under arrest by q single
officer and without the least sign of re-
sistance. These corporation and their
allies, the republican papers, are very

THE bondhOlder is far better cit

Those who served their country faith
fully were compelled to take as their

very glad to receive even that. But
Mr.. bondholder must have his interest
IN gold payable promptly when due; and
the alarming feature of these interest
ing bearing bonds is that the interest
alone, if the issue be repeated, will use
up what little gold there is in this

A SHAM battle over tho tariff. the
