Sound Advice.

Don't dispute with men who are
slaves TO the ideas that control this
system. Avoid loud voice. Soft,
calm, dispassionate reasoning, is the
way to make an impression. You
can't get anyone to reason or see the
plainest problem if he gets angry or
excited. Always bear in mind that
the man you talk to does that which
seems best for himself. He does not
knowingly injure himself and his
family. Show him IN that quiet tone
Of voice that disarms prejudice how
he may receive greater benefits for his
labor than he now enjoys, without in
jury to his neiGbbor. Ask him il
such changes could be made il it
would not be better, and then show
him how easily they could be made if
the voters could be made to see it.
Never assume that you are totally
right and he is totally wrong. Such
cow creations land they should never
be allowed to take any other charac-
ter) will leave his mind IN that state
of compo sure that will receive i'm
presslons When you have him so,
give him some paper or pamphlet to
read. A few thousand men keeping
this up at every opportunity for the
next twogears will do the work! AL
ways have some book or pamphlet
with you to explain your position.
The men who will control the desti
MES Of this nation will come up from
the walks Of labor largely, during the
next two years agitation. Win your
spurs. Coming Nation.

WHO IS "WRo9

A republican who has been kept by
public charity or 10y the charity of
friends nearly every winter for the
past seven years, WAS heard to say on
the streets few days ago, that "Un--
der Harrison WE had all the pros
perlty that anybody could want"
The republican speakers claimed
the same thing this fall, They knew
it was false. And for the benefit of
those who can think, we submit the
following from the Greensburg Qnd)
Freeldnd:
1T is true. as the republican speak
ers are claiming, that I'VE" had mar
velous prosperity under Harrison;
but who do they mean by "we"?
If they mean the national bankers,
they were right. I'VE" national
bankers were prosperous under Har-
rlsou.
Ifthey mean interest. mongers, they
are right. I'VE" landlords were pros.
porous under Harrison.
II they mean protected capitalists,
they are right I'VE" protected capt.
talists were prosperous under Harri-
son.
Ii they mean coal barons, they are
right 1--WE" coal barons were pros
porous under Harrison.
II they mean the robber trusts, they
we're right. I'VE" robber trusts did
prosper under Harrison.
II they mean the extortioners Of
the private railroads or private tele-
graphs, or the private pine land rob-
pers, or the Havemeyers, Carnegies
or Pullmans, they are right. All
these prospered under Harrison, and
prospered at the expense of the peo-
pie.
But If they mean the people, they
lie. The people were as systematic-
ally robbed under" Harrison as un-
der any other republican. And how
could 1t be otherwise? Is not Harri-
son one of those patriotic" American
statesmen" who believe in making
the rich secure and the poor con-
tent 7"--F'ocus, Conton, Ohio.

late you for beng one of the few who

In looking around for a suitable
man for the Office of sdjutant gen.
eral, the governor should not over
look that most excellent, loyal and
patriotic old soldier, Ritner Smith. Of
Phillipsburg. The sixth congression-
al district is entitled to good posi-
ton, and no man in that district is
more worthy than Comrade Smith
He is not chronic Office seeker nor
a plug.hat politician, but ia qualified
for such position, and is respected
by every man, woman and child of
Phillips county. Columbus Advocate
The Advocate selection is certainly
a good one. But Mr.. Smith is hard
ly the kind of man the republicans
have usually given good appoint
ments. he is genuine old soldier,
besides being well qualified.

ONE Of the greatest men in the re-
publican party Of Kansas to day, is
Gen. j. Z. Caldwell, of Topeka. If
the old soldier is Tin it," rs they told
us before election, why not send him
to the U. S. Senate7 His selection
would not only please the rank and
file of the g. OPP, but Of all people,
regardless Of party. An honest and
honorable man, he is also by far the
ablest speaker IN his party in this
state to-day. But no, when the Offices

old solder,is left out, and the smart
politician steps into the good places

The Ellsworth Messenger INDUCED
IN little modern history" two weeks
ago, in which it is shown that Expert
Moore, who investigated" the finan-
cial affairs Of that county short time
before the shortage Of Sill, 500 in Ex-
Treasurer Dicks accounts was dis
covered, and reported everything all
right, is either an incompetent or an
unreliable bookkeeper. His examin-
alton showed the treasurer's books to
be all correct, and just as soon as
Dicks successor took charge of his
Office the discrepancy was found.
The Lincoln Beacon of last week,
shows that Mr.. Moore walked away
from that county with 81 200 for an
examination that did no good at all.
So his examination in this county was
not needed, aud he simply has $1,000
of this county's money for looking
over aud 90 K,"ing what the treas
urer's settlement showed. And all
because the Disrdtch and a few re-
publican officials cried SO loudly
about shortages" and circulated pc
itions asking that the popuIist off
cials be investigated Let the people
judge whether or not they want many
more such extrayagant expenditures.

GovRRNoR-ELECT MCINTYRE, of COL
orsdo, says he is not "crank" on the
subject Of gambling in Denver, which
means that he will allow the gambling
bells Of that city to run wide open.
He further adds: "This matter of
raiding private clubs, where friendly
games are in progress, is simply in
frlnging upon private rights" That,
of course, is what elected him-hls
known friendliness to the gamblers.
And yet the women of Colorado
helped to do it.
