SKULDUGGERY IN WASHINGTON.

Kansas republicans are not alone
in the fendlsh work by which they
hope to defeat the uprising of the
people. Olympia Wash, papers
contain information of a plot at
tempted IN that state which was dis
covered by the plotters themselves
becoming involved in broil. They
hired a republican named Charles
Gloystein who had been quite active
in republican politics, to disappear
mysteriously from Spokane county,
and gave it out that he had been
murdered by Populist enemies. It
was the purpose of the managers to
bring their Populist sdversarles into
disrepute by subjecting them to this
suspicion of murder; but there was q
split resulted in the ranks OF the
faithful on account of the manner in
which the spoils were distributed at
the republican convention and the
scheme leaked out, aud Mr.. Gloy-
stein turned up alive and well. Thus
another republican argument was
lost. Our Kansas managers ought
to send few Of the Greer supple
ments relative to DIR. Pitcher out to
Washington. Washington repnbli-
cans seem to be as hard up for argu-
ment as their Kansas brethren.

monthly reports of mortgages re-
leased" that were so popular in the
campaign two years ago. The
sheriffs are doing about their ac-
customed amount of business, and
no doubt the records show about the
usual number of releases through his
agency. The Capital might gather
up this information and make its
accustomed showing of prosperity
from it. Its editor has always been
an expert In all matters relating to
mortgage indebtedness, as reference
to its files will show. For instance,
criticising the Wichita Eagle May 10,
1890, before the results of the late
census were known, he said:
The Wichita Eagle fears that this mort
gage census business will do Kansas great
injury. We doubt chat. The census will
disclose the facts, and lies will have TO be
put down. Kansas will be shown TO have a
farm mortgage indebtedness of not cent
over so million dollars.
The people Of the East who do not al
ready know Kansas to be what we know IL
here, are the victims of that reasonable
democratic lie, the Galloway circular, de-.
claring the farm mortgage indebtedness TO
be 2S6 million dollars-a greater sum than
the farm mortgage indebtedness Of any
three states in the union. The census will
completely and for all time, and in every
mind, refute that dsspiOable slander and no
doubt cause a rsVulsion Of feeling among
the misinfOrmed to the advantage Of Kan
sas.
How the census has refuted that
despicable slauder the people very
we'll know, and they have learned,
too, how to place a proper estimate
upon the jugglery of the Capital
upon this subject. We ought to have
the monthly reports of mortgages
released" Notwithstanding. They are
amusing. By all means revive them.
IT the editor of the Capital has lost
the form of blank to be sent to county
clerks upon which to report the in
formation, we can furnish him a copy

The cesspools and sewers have been
raked dry this year for republican
arguments until decency reVolts al
thought of Kansas politics.
Last week the republican commit
tee bought lot of slush from the
gambling outfit at Kansas City,
which Nels. Acers, one of the gang,
had been trying for two weeks to get
the Populist committee to put up
money to have suppressed; and this
was brought out in the Sunday pa
pers, republican and democratic
alike, as a great sensational expose
Of Populist corruption. The repub-
lican committee has dropped on to
a rich lead in this strike. Mr.. Le-
land can go among the gamblers and
disreputsble characters of Kansas
City and get any kind and any
amount of campaign material he may
desire in his line, from now to the
end Of the campaign by simply pay
ing the market price for it, and as
long as the Populist committee re-
fuses to be blackmsiled and declines
to put up hush money, 1t appears
that he has a monopoly of the mar
ket, and with no competition he
ought to buy for less than $500 a
revelation.
There are other schemes, also, by
which it is thought advantages may
DO gained over the Peoples party,
and one of them is to deface or de-
stroy the bills advertising Populist
meetings. This was practiced under
Buchs0's administration in 1890, and
the plan is again revived this year.
j. w. Stewart OF this county an
nounCes that he put up some fifteen OF
twenty bills few days ago adver-
tising the late rally in this city, and,
although they were put up with
paste, he found the next day that
every one Of them had been torn
down. This outfit hopes, by pre-
venting Populist meetings from
being advertised and by having spe-
cial trains kwith free transportation
on all the railroads for republican
meetings, to make a showing that
will compare with the Populist
rallies, but even with these advsn-
tsges the hope is vain. Modern re-
publicsnism is the most consummate
fraud of the age, and the people are
fast finding 1t out.

JUSTICE HARLAN OVRRRULEs THE COR
P0RATI0N TOOL.

that tool Of monopoly, Judge Jen-
kina, relative to the right of labor
ing men to strike. In his decision,
Justice Harlan says:
We have said that if employees were un-
willing to remain in the service Of the re-
oeiveFs for che compensation prescribed fox
them by the revised schedules, it was the
right Of each one ON thst account TO with
draw from such seEvic. Itwag equally their
right, IUithOtt reference to the effect upon the
property or upon the operation of the road,
to confer with each other upon the subject
OF the proposed reduction in wages and TO
withdraw in body from tn q service of the
receivers because Of the proposed change.
Indeed, their right ss a body of employees
aft ected by the proposed reduction in wages
TO demand given rates Of compensation ss
a condition Of their remaining in the SER
vice was as absolute and perfect as was the
right Of the receivers representing the sg-
gregatiOn Of persons, creditors, and stock
holders interested in the trust property and
the general public, to FIX the rates they
were willing to pay their respective en-
ployes.
He goes further, and says that
courts can only enjoin the men from
the commission of violence, and the
commission of violence ia somethinU
that no sane man ever advised, and
something that the strikers did not
prsctlCe. In the late railroad strike,
MIR. Debs constantly advised the
members of the American Railway
union, not only to avoid violence, but
to keep entirely away from the prop
erty of the railway companies; and
there has never been any evidence to
show that they anywhere departed
from that advice. On the other
hand, there is strong evidence that
the destruction Of property which
actually occurred was the result of
conspiracy between those who man
aged the affairs of the companies
during the strike, and a gang of
toughs who were employed to do the
dirty work in order to prejudice the
public against the strikers. The
railroad companies could we'll afford |
to have a good many of their old
dilapidated freight cars destroyed
when the laws provide that localities
where such destruction takes place
are responsible for the loss. If they |
can make the people of Chicago pay |
them the price of new cars for the
old ones burned, they gain a finan-
cisl advantage as we'll as an advan-
tOge of sentiment against the work
ingmen.
In Justice Hsrlan's decision the
workingmen have gained all they
ever claimed, and it is difficult now
to see how Judge Wood can do
otherwise in the contempt case
against Debs and his associates than
to dismiss it, 1t is certainly refresh
ing, when the courts of the country
are SO almost universally the tools of
monopoly, to find an occasional
judge who still has little regard for
the vested rights of men, as we'll as
the vested rights of capital. It is

4 SUGGESTION WORTH CONSIDERING.

Inc IW9n6A9L0 OonGuEy VI Oep"
tember ~, gives some statements of
fact upon which il bases a sugges-
tlon that might be considered with
profit by the people of Kansas, and
in fact, every other state in the
union. Itssys:
II is stated On the authority Of the Over
land Monthly that in California it costs
921S cents TO raise 100 pounds Of wheat on
ranChts Of 1000 acres; IS cents on ranches
Of 1000 acres, 75 cents on ranches Of 5000
acres; 60 cents on ranches of 1900 acres;
50 cents on ranches Of 10000 acres, and
40 cents on ranches Of $4,000 aOres. Is il
not plain that small farms are doomed
under any system of competition? Though
we have paper money Of the most approved
sort, though We have nRtiOnRlized railroads
and cheap freight; though we have good
roads and honest congressman; though we
have even the single tax; all this under
competition will not prevent the great
farmer or farming corporation from under
selling and running the small farmer. MI.
d. A. Wells says that il is coming TO be the
opinion OF the best authorities that the
only possible future for agriculture is 10 be
found in large farms, worked with ample
capital and organized labor. Now unless
we are TO have a regular GLASS Of capitalist
landlords and wretOhsd peasant workers,
we must have cooperative farming. But
email cooperative farming is impossible.
IL must be very large. Does not that lead
US at once to socialism, Why should not
some county that is to-day controlled by
the POpulists, institute agricultural So
Cialismp
The editor goes on to suggest that
the farmers Of any given county
might all, or as many Of them as
choose to do 30, put their farms into
a common pool and organize co.
operative association to conduct the
whole together with united capital,
with united effort and with improved
machinery, just as like operations
are conducted upon the great ranches
Of California. 1t would be a saving
Of labor, a saving of machinery and
a saving of capital in many ways, be.
sides insuring to all q proper share
OF the product Of the united effort.
But a cooperative association thus
organized should not stop with sgri-
cultural production. It should en-
gage in every possible industry With
a view Of supplying IS many as possi-
bls of the needs Of the people. It
should buy nothing that it's own CO.
operative labor could produce. Its
aims should be more to produce
everything it's members require
rather than to produce agricultural
products for sale at the ruinous
prices which they command.
The organization Of such Commu-
mites and rendering them as far as
possible independent of surround
ing conditions by the home produc-
ton of whatever the people need
and the home consumption Of their
own products, seems to be about
the only way to escape the effects Of
protection and democratic
free trade and the other suicldal
measures of the pirate crew that has
