Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1894-04-19
THE HARvEsT.-Chicago Herald.

at the last national election the people
of the country denounced with a near
or approach to unanimity than any
party has attained in years. There is
dissatisfaction because some of the
servants of the people at Washington
are not complying with the orders
they have received from those who are
the real rulers of the country, and
there has been an expression of resent
ment.
But all this does not go to the root of
the matter. Men do not abandon 9
creed because some of those protesting
it prove unworthy. nor do they surren-
der political convictions because some
of those whom they have trusted prove
recreant. The evils of a protective
tariff are as great as they ever were,
and at no previous time have their dis
astrous effects been SO apparent Tho
menace to a sound and honest financial
system was never more aggressive than
it now is. The wrath of the people
betrayed them, not upon the principles
which they indorse or the party which
is committed to the support of such
principles Republicans are united by
| the cohesive power of plumber and have
no higher purpose than to be in power.
Democracy is the party of independent
thought, and when it expresses indiR-
nation at men or methods it has no
thought ofAbandoning the great work
of reform on which the safety OF the
government depends. = Detroit Free

In finish.
Approximately speaking, everything
IN millinery is fiat and low with the
trimming mostly in the back. Jet,
transparent embroidery and lace, pop
ular as they have been in the past, are
not less so in the present. So, too,
with the aigrette, which has been in
several seasons, and yet almost every
other hat, large or small, plain or more
elaborate, boasts one or more of these
effective ornaments among its trim
nings. All tits goes to show that last
pears trimmings, provided they are in
good conditionl may adorn this years
hat with perfeet impunity.
The black roses that came in late
last summer and were so immensely
popular have close rival in the black
VioIets showing green stems. They
show to particular advantage on the
new round otOques with gold en-
broidered crowns. The flowers are
laid loosely around the brim, the long
stems being held in place by soft bows
OF MORE ribbon drawn through jet
ssequins. Such a hat as l have de-
ascribed would cost at the stores from
ten to- eighteen dollars; but, luckily,
these pretty hats can be bought and
the trimmings put on at home at much
less cost and with just as good results.
Almost all the new artificial flowers
are black and irredeemabiy ugly; but
the pretty jetted ospreys and tiny
black ostrich feathers powdered with
Jet that obtain SO largely now atone in
2 great measure for the sins of the mil
Miner who brought out these monstrosi-
tics
Can you make pretty ribbon bow?
If you can it is an accomplishment to
be highly appreciated just now, for the
bow is the trimming of the hour,
whether 1t be of black MORE ribbon
Perched high in the back or of jet and
lace in Alsatian fashion.
The so-called Dutch bonnet is march
ing right along in its career of popu-
fErity, and those made of lace, en-
broidered all over with tiny steel Sc
4uins, and just trimmed at the back
with an osprey, and one or two steel
powdered ostrich tips, are extremely
pretty and stylish.
I saw a bonnet recently that I GOV.

plethoric dimensions. This particular
bonnet was small, not much larger

Republican Lies

Every intelligent person knows that
for the past two years the republican
newspapers of the country, almost
without exception. have been asserting
that the public debt was decreased
under Harrison by a much larger
amount than under Cleveland The
amount usually given is SIS. 600. 600. If
any correspondent questions and asks
for the figures he is given those Of a
bonded debt, the republican editor
paying no attention to the increase in
the unbonded debt This erroneous
statement has been reiterated so often
that there is no republican, and hardly
democrat. who has not accepted it as
true. 1t is useless to show a republic
an that he has been lied to. Lies are
his daily food. But there is no reason
at the present time, when he is not ex-
cited over political matters, why he
should not have little truth thrown
at him, and the proof that the public
debt was decreased under Cleveland

A BREEDER or RIOTS.

american J.abosers Damaged by the Pro-
lection Policy.
Perhaps there is no more serious mem
ace to American institutions than is to
be found in the conditions prevailing
in the mining district of Pennsylvania.
where the late riots have thrown an
extensive community into a state of
terror and almost of anarchy. The
latest phase of the strike is that the
Huns and Slavs accuse the Irish and
Germans of having worked up the riots
in order to create prejudice against the
former, and thus secure their expulsion
from the region Thus the conflict is
seen to be one in which foreign popu-
lations fight out their national differ
ences.
Under our high protective system we
have carefully excluded the product of
the ''pauper" labor OF Europe, but we
have thrown wide our gates to the
paupers themselves, and the American
laborer has no protection against the
competition of class of men whose
antecedents and native surroundings
render them dangerous to free institu-
tons, as well as incapable of properly
assuming the responsible of Ameri-
can citizenship. The Poles, the Huns.
Tile 1GdliduS, Cn0 JCWS come
among US and establish their own COM
munities- They drive out the Amer
lean laborer, because they are accus-
toned to live more meanly than he,
and will work for less wages than he.
The protectionists who hire them pre-
tend that their object in asking protec-
tiop is chiefly to make wages higher.
and Tom Reed, of Maine, who is the
spokesman of this party, an2ounces a
new school of political economy which
makes wages the measure of coun-
try's prosperity; because, he says, I'M
less wages are high. wage-earners will
not spend much money. That is the
whole argument offered by him. Yet
in the most highly protected region of
the United States labor riots are OF
more frequent occurrence than any
where else in the land, and these riots
are invariably the work of pauper
Europeans, who have come here to be
employed by the men whose solicitude
for the wages of labor does not prevent

Booth at this time was almost GER

When the ex-confederate soldiers,
whose names are given as Jett, Rug

the hour of reckoning was near at

By accident this party came TO the
same ferry by which Booth and his
companions had crossed the Kappa
hammock. This ferryman swas ques-
toned closely, and finally confessed
that he had taken party of five men
across the river the day before. OF the
five he had known one, Capt. Jett, per
sonally. Taking Rollins, the ferry
man, with them, the soldiers proceed
ed to Bowling Green, where they
found Jett in a tavern. Driven into a
corner, the trooper made clean breast
of his connection with Booths es-
cape, and accompanied the soldiers to

AN Analysis OF the Great Crime OF April

Theatsr-The Arch-Conspirator's
Escape, Capture and Death.
Especial Letterl

History and romance are interviewer
closely. Every time the anniversary
of President Lincoln's death comes
around we read versions of the tragedy
differing from each other in many par
ticulars- OF late years some writers
have delighted in picturing John
Wilkes Booth, the presidents assas-
sin, as an enthusiast who considered
himself a worthy imitator of Brutus
and other heroes of the stage and of
history. Anyone who looks at the as
sassination of April IA, 1865, dispassion-
ateiy cannot lake sides with this NOR
bidIy-roE1antic school of would-be his
torians. Booth may have thought
he was doing a deed of patriotism
when he fired the shot which killed
Lincoln, but it would require q re-
markable torturing of facts to make
him out a successor of Brutus, who is,

The old farmer swore that the two

The new capes reach only to the

Republican Exrberanee Over the Rhode
Island Election.

Republican Excberance Over the Rhode
Island Election.
One of the encouraging signs for de-
mocracy is the eagerness with which the
opposition seizes upon the slightest POI
litical event that can be tortured into
evidence of popularity regained with
the people. The republican organs of
high and low degree are especially
jubilant over the news from Rhode
Island. A clear view of the situation
fails to justify their exuberance. The
republicans were in minority at the
previous state election in Rhode Island,
but they were in power and simply as
serted the right of possession, despite
the fact that they were outvoted by
the democracy. The democrats of that
state polled about the same vote that
they did year ago, but six Thousand
new repu blicans put in an appearance
from some unexplained quarter and
scored a victory.
If it could only be assured that this
new vote was brou yht out by patriotism
and not by cash the outlook for the re-
publicans in Rhode Island would be
more encouraging. They held the
government as against a superior num-
Der of democrats, and it is better for
