NOTES AND COMMENT.


Old Jesse Harper, who was once the
partner Of Abraham Lincoln, addressed
the Indiana state PopuliSt convention
the other day. And the way he did
BcorCh the republicans FOR abandoning
the party Of his younger days was worth
going miles TO see.
Here is the way Indiana PopulistS
handled the liquos question at their
stats convention: "We view with alarm
the evil influences Of the liquor traffic.
We heartily indorse the initiative and
referendum system OF Legislation, be-.
lieving by this means that the people
can suppress this and other evils more
sffsCtually than by any other"
The cranks are not all from the woody
West. The Fitzgerald Coxeyites from
Boston went into the capitol building
and nearly frightened the Massachu-
Betts senators to death with their mild
demands, but they found plenty Of sym
pathy among the POpulist senator's. You
only need ask an Eastern senator to
abandon the corporations in order to
frighten him.

the records and pension division Of the
war department, indicted for man

so frightened lenders that we cannot
secure You a new loan" This is all
bcsh. There is no difficulty in &C.
curing loans upon Kansas farms, and
there never has been.
II is contrary to our custom to give
free advertising to any kind of bust
ness, but we propose to depart from
that custom for once and name a few
firms who are soliciting the opportu-
nifty to loan money on just such Sc
Curity and under the precise condi-
tions that the successors Of the
famous Kansas Loan and Trust COM
pany state "hsve 80 frightened lend
ers that they cannot secure a new
loan" Among the multitude Of these
we will name ID. j. Fossen, Of Kan
sas City, Kas.; VIM. T. Sinclair, Of
Lawrence; I. L. Better, Topeka;
Scott & Bryant, HOlton; Fred Per.
kins, Oswego; Alfred Whitman, Law
renee; P. H. Albright & Co., and
Ordway & Orr, Winfield; Sheldon,
Davis & Co., BurlinRsme; Oberlin
Loan and Trust company and Bank
of Oberlin, Decator county; Com
merCial Bank Of KiowR.
We might multiply this list of ad-
vertisers for Kansas farm loans IN
definitely. These are only few
taken from q very small number Of
our Kansas exchanges. The state
ment Of this company whose pedi-
gree, it may be observed, is some
what tainted, is simply a republican
bluff to q well-known Populist. By
such means, it is thought to reconvert
Popullsts to republicanism. 1t will
not work.

Three Conventions.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-Your correspond
emit had the pleasure Of attending three
Populist county conventions last week,
the first one at FairmOunt, Leavenworth
county. To an outsider it seemed to be
one Of the most harmonious conventions
that could be, and / have no doubt it
was satisfactory to all concerned. Every
body had an opportunity to express their
sentiments on all questions, and to vote
for whom they pleased for delegates. Ie
anyone had q slate it got gloriously
broken. Nobody talked fusion. It was
q straight Populist convention. A local
paper made the following report:
"Ths state delegation will be led by
General James Pickens, Of Sherman
township. The delegates with him are
A. McCune, Charles Sproal, Fl. T. Madi-
son, Font. Hoffman, D. Coughlin. H.
BeCkey, ]. Timberlake and E. Thistleth-
waite. A resolution indorsing the
Omaha platform was adopted. A reso-
luton was adopted that it was the sense
Of the convention that Justices Of the
supreme court should be elected by the
people. It was the sense OF the conysn.
tion that those who teach the children
how to vote should be permitted to
vote"

lation get their fingers on the prOduCer's

Do they do anything to mitigate dis

hands to do! Mr.. Minister, offer each
ono OF these Commonweslers the wages

work will be done. Well, il you can't

can. What kind Of integrity does this
minister mesng Does he mean the in
tegrlty Of the Credit MobiIier? the intsg-
rity Of the sugar trustsH Pacific railroad
steals? Star route frauds? Armour plate
frauds? Sherman diamonds? proposed
postage scheme, etc.P
Has not the commonwealth seen men
who "toil not" rise in positions Of COM
fort and ease while his own wages are
cut down, down, till want and woe stare
him in the face? Has he not seen tho
proud, naughty, Haunting array Of show
and wealth made by idlsrs-while he
sweats and digs and delves? May he
not 60 to congress, where all these In
justices were created, and ask q consid-
GRAFTON? And should not every man and
woman administer food and shelter as
one brother should snotherP Did you
ever look into the eyes Of o hungry,
homeless dog? Did you pity himP No?
Then you will not pity or care for those
whose lives have already lost their charm.
But justice must be done. The peace
army Is composed Of men,
Before man make us citizens,
Great nature made US men.
And poor, helpless and suffering as they
are, they will leave their mark in our
country e'er long. A deep down sym
psthy ia already created, and many now
silent ones are ready to help in the great
move. IL the hearts ~ Of congress can
not be moved in the better cause it is
predicted that John Cleveland and
Grover Sherman will be put on boat
and shipped over home to England, and
that congress will be driven into the sea
as another herd possessed Of devils were
about 1900 years ago.
Though with tardy step
Celestial justice comes, that step is sure,
Unerring is her bolt; and where 1t falls
Eternal will the ruin be.

Cient food
But there is another chapter to
this sad story. In the Oyclopedic
Review of Current History for the
first quarter of 1894 is a treatise on
''the business situation" in which the
writer, after speaking Of the general
stagnation of trade and the con-
slant decline of prices, observes:
'Perhaps the most significant feature
of the sltustion has been the remark.
able shrinksge In the consumption OF
wheat" He then proceeds to show
that the actual consumption for sew
eral years past has been from 4O24
bushels per capita to 4645 bushels.
During the past year, however, che
actual consumption has declined to
3.78 bushels per capita. What does
this mean? II means that more peo-
pie than usual have been deprived Of
the means to buy bread. AS result
of the bankers panic and the conse-
quent paralysis OF industry and trade,
there IS more than the usual amount
Of enforced idleness, aud as a conse-
quenoe, more than the usual number
of American citizens insufficiently
fed. Insofar as the consumption
thereby falls short Of the former aver
age, to just that amount is the ''over-
production" increased.
This same writer in the OyclopediC
Review Of Current History further
observes:
In other important commodities besides
wheat, the decline Of domestic oOnsump,
tion Is remarkable. Thus tho sales Of wool
in the chief markets, mainly Of the DO
mestio article, from May, 1893, 10 March,
1894, decreased from 2S9,O0O, 900 pounds to
147,OOO,OOO, and the foreign imports from
125.s2O, ,236 TO 81, ,3SO, ,4S0 pounds.
He proceeds to show q correspond
ing decline in the consumption Of
iron and cotton, and a careful, inves-
tigation would disclose a like decline
in the consumption Of everything
that contributes TO industrial pro.
greOs and prosperity and to the COM
fort and happiness Of the people.
The amount Of this decline in all the
varied products Of industry indicates
the extent OF the increased "ovsrpro-
duCtion," according to the theory OF
republican and democratic eCono-
mists, over that Of former years.
When il is remembered that this
decline in consumption implies di-
minished prosperity ahd comfort TO
the American people, and that it all
results from Liquidation by which the
very few are enriched at the expense
Of the many, and when il is likewise
remembered that the people them
selves are responsible for this vicious
Legislation by retaining the men in
congress who enact il, there should be
an awakening and a change in the
near future by which the declining
fortunes of America may be re-
Vived.

A HeaEtlesS HypOcrite Poses As Christian
Minister,

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-I wonder il all
ministers in our union beratad the peace
army on Memorial day as did the one
who spoke in the Methodist Episcopal
church Rt this place. He said: 81 never
feed tramp only occasionally, and then
/ take them to the table, and / ask them
ag many questions as the meal is worth; !"
and also that IAN idle man cannot be a
ChrigtiRn;" and that "The commonweal
spread disease and disaster wherever
they go;" and that "They preferred the
life Of tramp to ONE Of labor;" and that
"The COmmOnwesl had paraded in Chi
cago q few days ago." "Their banner
said, Our Children Cry for Bread, and
they adjourned to a grove and drank
many kegs Of beer;" and that he "Did
not understand the uprising, but I think
we are on the eve Of o great crisis, and
pray to God that we may pass through
this hour Of darkness, and that this gov
ernment may be preserved in all its in.
tegrity."
He greatly deplored the distressing
condition Of our country; no spoke OF the
greatness OF our country, its resources
and it's freedom; Of our late war and the
great good which had been accom-
plished by the help Of God; Of the great
improvement the negroes had made un-
der our public institutions for educs-
tiOn. Then suddenly he said: N never
feed q tramp" and with q nod and
twinkle Of the eye we saw readily the
maze Of questions with which he could
ply q hungry man for his own smuse-
msnt.
MsthinkB have read Of g band Of
men who travelled over their land about
1875 or 1880 years ago who were penni-
less, homeless and humble advocates of
"Psacs on earth good viii to man."
and although they neither carried ban
ners nor stepped on the grass, yet they
were per0sCuted BY those who thought
themselves perfect. The leader said:
"Foxss have holes; birds Of the air have
nests, but the son OF man hath not
where to lay his head;" and he led them
into fields OF corn on the Sabbath day
and did pluck and eat. AS there were
no railroads, hs con6scated Q colt for his
own use that was tied by the roadside;
he obeyed the first law Of nature, namely,
to eat. Every living thing must have
sustenRnce, and their immediate neoes-
sites were taken as they went on their
way. He did not bow to plutocrsts; he
drove the money-chRngsrs from the
temple; he taught them the samaritan
duty; none were too poor for him to
notice; and he gave ss the second great
commandment, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself." "On these two
commandments hang all the law and the
prophets" And yet they were idle men,
but they were Christians, seeking to do
good. Are not our peace army OF to-day

THE COTTON CROP.
Careful Estimate of the Crop For the
Current Year.

Special to The Statesman.
Houston. Nov. 22.-rhe Post will to-
morrow publish a crop report showing the
number of bales of cotton shipped to
date this season; up to the same date last
season; estimated to be shipped from this
time on; amount shipped from this time
to close of last season. The answers
cover the entire cotton crop belt and are
an index to the whole state, as Houston
and Galveston, being both virtually ports,
are omitted. The summary is as follows:
Answers are received up to date from
104 points in 50 counties. These reports
show that since Sept. l there have been
marketed this season from these places
49J, 479 bales against 347 1853 for the cor
responding period in 1893, or an increase
this season over last in the marketing of
the crop of 1852 per cent Up to this
time last year there had been shipped
221061 bales from these same points.
The corresponding estimate that from
now until Aug. 81, 1895, there is vet to be
shipped 2S3,S62 bales. Allowing per
cent for overestimate and probable loss
leaves yet to be shipped 269,6 500 bales, or
21.9S per cent more than remained to be
shipped from this time forward last year.
The total shipped during the entire sea-
son of 1S93-94 from these 1O4 places
footed up $685. bales. Adding this to
w Dttu SIlppCu HUN SdlN pOlllIS
this season the 269, 500 estimated yet to
be shipped would give a crop of 165, 14S
bales, an increase over last season of
1854 bales. 1t is fair to assume that
these 104 points covering the entire cot
ton belt may be taken as a basis to ascer-
tain the probable crop for this season.
In round numbers the crop of 1S93-94
was placed at 100000 for Texas. BY
adding 34.54 per cent which is the in
crease shown by these points the present
crop would reach 2,556, 260 bales.

AFTER THE TRUST
HAVE BEEN FILED
AT WACO AGAINST ALL
THE MEMBERS
OF the Pierce and Standard Oil
Trust, and it is Generally Be
lieved That Governor Hogg
Has Issued Requisition
PAPERS for Them.

If leaked out up at the capitol yes
terday that indictments had been found
AGAINST all the members of the Waters
Pierce and Standard Oil Trust by the
grand Jury at Waco. Along during the
course of the afternoon the report was
confirmed by a number OF kilograms re-
ceived from Eastern papers, by cores
lDondents here stating that they mad re-
tceived the intimation Of these lndlct-
ments. and wanted to know what Gov
ernor Hogg had to say about it, inasmush
as if was stated that requisition papers
had been secured from him for members
of the trust living in st. Louis, Chicago,
New York, Cincinnati and other Eastern
noints. Governor Hogg was seen with
reference to the matter but would say
nothing. In reply to direct question as
to whether or not requisltlOn papers had
been issued for members OF the trust Ill
the above mentioned cities and other
points the governor replied that the mat
Ter was not in Il cOnditiOnto be discusseda at
present, and there was certainly nothing
for publication. The inference drawn
from this by many is that the requisl-
tions have been granted by the gov
ernor and it is the desire OF
everyone interested to keep the matter
quiet until the papers can be served.
kilograms received by the Eastern cor
respondents have intimated that there
is quite IL hutter up there among the
members of the trust, and in all likell-
hood number of them are. even now
taking to the brush. In case it is the de-
sire of teh officials here to keep the mat
ter quiet the fat is certainly in the fire,
for the news has been thrown broad
cast by this morning, and the birds have
all bnpn warned so that in all DrODa-
bility when the nest is visited it will be
found empty. For some time past it
has been known that Attorney General
Culberson was camping on the trail of
the cottOnseed crushers association, but
there has been no intimation of the stand
ard being in danger, so the news comes
with the vividness of a crash Of light
ming, and the result is liable to be seri-
Gus one.
