letic sports among Partisan women is
everywhere hailed with delight. The re-
form movement on this side of the wa
ter, which has been ferInenting for the
past 40 years, accordingly takes on new
lease of life. One of the chief attractions
of cycling to the Frenchwoman was the
possibility of novel and fetching gown.
With all her ingenuity, however, she
has vet failed to devise a costume that
respects health, adaptability and chic
The failure emphasizes more conclu-
sively perhaps than the instructive an
tagonism of men the difficulty OF recon-
CLING women. Increased knowledge of
the laws of health, spread of physical
culture, growth of private and public
gymnasiums and the general preclplta-
ton of women into the business world
are effectively contributing to the pres
ent organized revolt against the tyranny
of prevalent fashion. Corsets, tight
bands, pointed toes, high heels and long
or voluminous skirts are irrefutable foes
to the up to date woman of the world.
That costume which will serve the
best interest of health and at the same
time not offend the aesthetic sense Is
crying necessity, especially for women
whose duties lie without the home circle,
is generally acknowledged But the prob
lem of equalizing and combining health,
beauty and adaptability in an everyday
gown continues to confront the reform
er. Never before, it would seem, has the
time been so propitious for its realiza-
ton, since fashion now admits Of infinite
latitude.
The increase of women bicyclists and
of those who go to offices, stores and
factories daily has so tended to reconcile
the masses to women in trousers, knlck-

THE vote in Pennsylvania did not
only show large republican majority,
1t revealed something OF much more
Importance. notwithstanding all the
blow VS. see in republican papers re.
garding the immense majority, the
returns show that there were 81 900 less
votes cast for Galusha A. Grow than
there were cast for Harrison In 1892.
1t is also shown by the returns that he
did not receive majority of the quail
fed voters of Pennsylvania, even
though his apparent majority was SO
large. The truth of the situation as
this clearly shows is that the people
have lost confidence In the old parties
and refuse to vote. Had there been a
populist ticket In the field in Pennsyl-
vania there is no doubt but that it
would have polled many thousand
votes. Now is the golden opportunity
for the party of the people to organ
lie in every state and make as strong
campaign as is possible against the
money of plutocracy.

Editor of the Barber County INDEX.
Dear Slr:-I notice that the Cresset
and qnite number of republican pa
| pers throughout the district are trying
to make a great deal of capital out of
a letter that was published IN the An
thoDy Bulletin, by Mr.. Drake, a popu-
list. l notice the Cresset in printing
this. IN its comments etc, is trying to
get up an i'll feeling between Senator
Lands and myself. Now this is the
same old game that the plutocracy has
! always played; that is, of dividing the
ranks CT the laborers. They think by
working up strife IN our party. to di-
vide us so they will be able to run off
with the spOils of Office, which of course
is all they have in view. Now they
might as well possess their souls in pa
thence for they are certainly barking
up the wrong tree. l presume MIR.
Lands and his friends understand
this game as well as they do; | know |
understand 1t perfectly well and l can
assure our republican friends that they
Will be without success in this move
ment.
senator Lands, like every other man
in the district, has a perfect right to
aspire to any position within tile gift
of the people, We all know the mans
ability, and his work, and appreciate
it all over the district. and if ne is the
choice of the people l am sure he
would have a united party behind
him. l write this so our people NAV

trying to work up.
If Mr.. Axline could create rivalries.
jealousies and dsensions within our
party, they might hope to defeat it;but
they plan without sagaclty on the pre-
sumption that pOpulists are unable to
detect their designs. They will find
that their schemes are exposed and
their purposes clearly seen. The peo-
pie are getting more in earnest every
day, and intend to stick to the great
issue in which is involved all their flu
ture welfare. Let us assure tie repub-
licans in Kansas on every occasion
that the populists are able to conduct
their own business. make their own
nominations aud after they are made
can go to the polls united to elect them.
Let US assure them that our motives
are for the purpose of securing the
best government for the people and
that We can rise above the spoils of
office and there shall be no trouble in
our ranks over the plumber. Let US
set them the example in our party
that no man is bigger than the prin-
ciples he represents, and that all our
nominations shall be fer the one pur-
pose Of securing the men who will
meet with the approval Of the largest
number Of p eople.
Respectfully Yours,

IN the historical reflections by which
the Cresset carried its readers back to
fifteen years ago the editor brings out
the fact that cattle were cheaper then
than they are at present. Since he was
inst then engaged in refreshing peoples
memories he should by all means have
mentioned that the blame was not
shouldered off on democrats and pop.
ulsts, as those were good old republi-
can times, II history fails us not, one
Hayes was president fifteen years ago.
by virtue of swindling Tilden out of
place This state was under an i'm
mense republican majority and yet cap
ital was scared so that it dared not ven
ture out. The republicans did not lay
the blame at other doors because it was
impossible. Otherwise they would
have done so, even though their own
laws were being enforced.

ic this venerable Wall street sycophant
says:
There has never been a time in the
history OF The country when there Was
Such large volume of money as in
1892 or when SO much money was living
idle In the banks as a consequence of
want OF confidence to invest in busi-
ness enterprises as there is today. Our
OaUkS are plethora with money. and
Tor the reason that confidence has been
destroyed and no capitalist will mt
his money into any kind of an enterprise
so long as the government is managed
as at present.
The sterotyDed old ditty that is be.
ing sung by all the little ignoramuses
in the coubtry. He acknowledges.
then, that few capitalists control
this country, so that at their own
pleasure they can bring disaster on 65.-
OOO,0O0 people by their damnable
schemes. We are glad to see him adj
NIT this, for we have been irving to
convince such dolts for some time that
such condition exists. Plenty of
money, indeed, in the hands of capital
lists. There is plenty of water in the
ocean but Kansas crops dry I'D occas
lonally just the same. The statistics
of 1890 showed but one-tenth the
money per capita that circulated in
1865 and yet this man claims there is
larger volume of money now than
ever. Where is it? Who has got it,
how did they get it and what party
made their accumulation of millions
possible? Labor, impoverished to
build Croesus-l!ke fortunes for the
fostered mOnOpOlist, is now groveling
In the mire of poverty, and the party
that separated society into these awful
extremes is asking to be returned to
the seat Of power on the plea of pro-
tecting labor. Confidence destroyed
indeed. Who was in power when con-
tidence was destroyed IN 1873? A man
who says the monetary legislation of
this country has had nothing TO do
with the present panic merely shows
that he has no understanding of the
matter. Talk about deception. the ar
ticle of "McKinlyite" is but conglom-
crate mass of falsity and mIsrepresenta-
ton. His party has brought the coun-
to its present condition and its laws
are alone responsible.

The Cresset says Judge Mckay lis a
candidate right now and has been all
the time" Nobody will dare question
the truth of this since that immaculate
sheet has made the assertion. In the
first place the Cresset is so intimate
with Judge Mckay as TO he infallible
authority on all his acts and motives of
whatever nature. It's love for the Judge
is so great that it continually mourns
his absence, and yet one would hardly
think that 1t would take advantage of
such profound intimacy to publish to
the world what knowledge of the Judge
affairs it had gained by such close rela-
tionship. That was very humanity, to
say the least. In the next place every
body will be inclined to believe this as
seYeration of the Cresset's on account
OF that papers veracity and reliability.
which has become almost pr0verbial.
1t always tells the truth when there is
no lie that will fit the occasion. In
short the Cresset's unlimited KNOWLEDGE
Of Judge MeKay's affairs will probably
have decided effect on the judges
friends who know, absolutely, that he
has requested not to be mentioned as a
candidate for denomination. The Cres-
sets editorial force are habitually talk
ing through hole in their hats, about
subjects they know nothing about. But
there is satisfaction in knowing that If
Judge Mckay is induced to bec,,me
candidate he will knock the Cresset's
candidate into a hat where there are no
holes.
