The republican bosses feel gloomy as
| to the future IN Kansas. Most of the
| republican vote is in the cities. The
populist vote is in the country. The
cities this year have cast very full
vote. and there has been falling off of
sc, 900 from the republican vote of last
year.-Ottawa Journal.

Republican majorities were reduc-
ed in nearly every county carried by
them last year, while they lose many
of the counties of the state in which
they had large majorities last year.
The vote shows conclusive that 1896
will be populist year.-Harper Advo-

Sufficient unto the day is the evil

tie is left of the republican party in
Kansas will be sent to join the innum-

Under our present system, when
money concentrates i'll the banks and
they get it all, how are people to get
money to transact business if they do
not borrow it from the banks? Peo-
pie are advised to keep out of debt, yet
under our present system business is
transacted on credit and there is no
way for the people generally to keep
out of debt. What harvest it is for
the banks who have an incorporated
legal monopoly of the legal money

Were the inside history of the late

The newspaper man, the editor we
mean, has hard time in this world.
We would as soon undertake to cut a
garment to fit the moon in all of it's
phases as to try to please the general
public. Some readers complain of too
much original matter-say the editor is
egotlstical and wants to ''show off,
others object to too much clippings, y
say the editor is too lazy to write; some
want society items, some prefer anoth-
er kind; but all like to see their names
: In the paper. especially if they are
J ''puffed," yet but few are willing to
pay for personal notices. The best
way to conduct paper is to be indie
! pendent, say what you think, treat all
courteously and ask no favors.-kiowa

Many long articles are appearing in
the public press bewalling the destruc
ton of our forests and the consequen,
long periods of drouth. Men destroy
the forests because they are compelled
to till every acre of land they have il
order to keep their families in decent
respectability. Double the price o.
farm products by doubling the amonni
of money in active circulation and thu
farmer will be able to plant one hal
his land in timber and live as well a.
he does now.-Non Con.
