ALL EYES ON US.

eastern people have regsined con-
idence in Kansas" said T. w. Harri-
son in the Topeka Capital, after re-
turning from Boston. ''I talked with
people throughout New England and
in several cities in New York recently,
and they were all anxious to hear from
Kansas and of our great corn crop.
They regard populism as wiped out
and feel assured that the people of this
state will pay their debts"
Eastern people who are looking for
honest and legitimate investments are
not 80 much concerned about popu-
lism as they are about spectators and
sharks of the Harrison stripe who have
been skinning them. What they want
to avoid is the Western loan and rail-
road building schemes, such as Col
onel Harrison is familiar with. Yes,
and there are some home people who
are haunted with sad recollections of
the colonel's East Side circle railroad
project.
A man who has been repudisted by
the people of his own town, as Hsrri-
son was after serving term as mayor,

HOW THEY LIE.

For several days past the daily press
and the "me-too" country papers have
been running the associated press dis
patch telling the horrible tale Of how
Keir Hardie preached anarchy to the
Chicago ministers, and how they made
such rumpus that he was obliged to
sit down and finally retired in disgrace
from the meeting where be had been
invited to speak. The story, it seems,
is characterized by the usual degree
of reliability of associated press dis
patches. Here is Kier Hsrdie's state.
ment The associated press is known
to have weakness for things that are
untrue while Kier Hsrdie is not. The
reader can jndge between the two:

ministers meeting in Chicago were greatly

MONEY PLENTY If YOU HAVE ANY

The market columns of the Kansas
City World, September 6, contained
the following:
W. W. Cowen, local manager Of Logan & Co.'s
commission house. received to-day the follow
ing query by wire from Wall street broker:
AT what price for corn will farmers stop
buying coal and selling corn, to induce them
to burn corn? What do you think Of it2"
The Burlington Courier, comment
ing upon the dispatch, says:
The Wall street brokers' inquiry is signif-
cant. 1t means that farmers may expect to
receive price just sufficient to keep them
from burning their corn rather than to sell 1t
And it means the farmers themselves
have nothing whatever to say about
the price they are to receive for their
products, that being fixed by q gang
of gamblers who never did an honest

The following from the Emporis Ga

mate of the ground of hope of silver
republicans that their party will do
anything contrary to the wishes of the
Eastern gold-bugs:

that all these wise philosophers prate
upon. We do not propose to 90 into
q history of cooperative efforts to
show that there have been great sue

Somehow there Is strange inconsist-

scribblers advise people to avoid mer-
camille pursuits and not to engage in

Governments also fail. Reflect for

that lie streWn all along the pathway
of time. Not to go back to more re-
mote ages, permit US to inquire where

establish governments because the
proudest Of those of past ages have
gone down in ruin and decsy2 1t is
contrary to the nature of man to cease
TO strive for conditions that are toler-
able simply because men have failed

a work of merit and one to be encour-
aged rather than discouraged when
people undertake to establish condi-
tions in any part Of the world where
want cannot exist except as a result of
voluntary Incidence. Such is the per
versity of human nature, however,
that these efforts must succeed, if they
succeed at all, in the face of a degree
of opposition from those who are in
no way concerned in them, that no

PROPHEsIES OF FAILURE.

The great dailies of the coGntry are
msnifcsting q wonderful interest in
the Colorado cooperative colony.
They have given 1t an immense amount
of free advertising which has brought
letters from q multitude of honest in
quirers in ell parts of the country.
For this we are grateful. Their proph-
estes of evil will hurt nobody and if
they afford the writer's any satisfaction
we ought not to complain.
1t is truly amusing to read some of
the calamity representations that sp-
pear in the daily papers. They exhibit
such utter lack Of knowledge of the
principles of cooperation and such
total ignorance of facts relating to
cooperative efforts that one who really
knows anything about such things can
only laugh at their absurdity. For in
stance, we have an editorial in the
Buffalo Express of September 8, now
before us, relative to the certainty of
failure of this Colorado colony. The
editor is sure that it will follow in the
footsteps of all such efforts and wind
un in disaster. But we cannot refrain
from giving our readers the reason as
signed why ultimate failure must
come. Here 1t is:
In every such colony q majority OF the men
and women are thrifty, industrious and saw
ing, but the balance are just the opposite.
The work that is given them to do soon grows
tiresome, and IL Is not long before they be-
| come dFones In the hive, dependent on others
for support. The hard workers find that the
burden becomes to heavy to bear, and the re-
suit is general dissatisfaction, which usually
ends in dissolution OF the colony and dis
trlbution Of the funds.
Now, anybody who has the least
knowledge of cooperative associations
of this kind knows that drone could
not live in cooperative hive. When
conditions are established which sf-
ford every person an equal opportu.
nifty to earn bread, then, and only then
can the edict pc justly enforced. "If
any will not work neither shall he eat. "
In the present state of society, to say
that would be the rankest injustice,
for the reason that millions of willing
hands are to-day seeking In vain the
opportunity to work. The very first
thing cooperative association of this
kind proceeds to do is to establish con.
dltions which afford equal opportu-
mites to all its members. If there be
any, then, who are too indolent to
avail themselves of these opportunities
there is no way In which they can en-.
joy the fruits of others toll and
thereby become burden upon the as.
sociation. The means of subsistence
depend upon the industry and thrift
of the individual. This is the very
foundation principle Of cooperation,
and when any person talks about
drones in the cooperative hive becom-
ing q burden upon the thrifty and in
dustrious too heavy to be borne, he
simply hetrays q degree Of Ignorance

ticularly ardent Republican, but she de-
s1res the Republican nomination for the
very good and sufficient reason that the
Republicans have a majority in the dis
trtct. As TO principle, she thinks there
Is very little difference in the great politi-
cal parties-
She wears q white ribbon as feeler for
the Prohibition vote and makes a bid for
the liquor vote by declaring for a lower IL
cense fee. She IL a German, as her maiden
name, Sarah Ulrioh, shows, and from this
fact she expects the German vote. She
married a gallant Irishman known as
California" Kelly, and consequently has
high hopes Of capturing the Irish vote, and
as she lost nine male relatives In the civil
war and wept because she was q woman
and could not fight herself she believes
the Grand Army Of the Republic should
give her Its cordial support. There are
few other strings to her political bow,
among them promised appropriation for
an orphan asylum in Honesdale, but these
must be omitted here, owing to lack of
space.
Mrs. Kelly is an interesting personality
as a politician, but she has won moro fame
as a bard. She has written her autobiog
raphy in rhyme and has dashed of impas-
stoned verses on the silver question and
other inspiring things. In mourning the
man she wishes TO succeed she sweetly
sings:
The people are mourning q statesman today.
Congressman Wright hath indeed passed away.
The man who was always so kind In his time
Was going to vote for the Just bills Of mine.
Mrs. Kelly has two reasons for desiring
to go to congress. She desires to be made
national poetess and to receive pension
as a soldiers widow. If she gets TO con-
gress, she will be a candidate for president
in 1896, she declares, with Governor Flow
