for this reason that the ticket was put

ers to pay off debts is not good IL pro
portion to the bountifuIness Of the
crops Populists used to be laughed
at when they said che farmers Of Kan
sas seldom received more for a big crop
than little one, but it seems to be
true just the same. The farmers are
getting their eyes open at last.

WITH the miniOns of the money pow
or in control of the legislative, admin
istration and judicial branches of the
government, liberty falls to the dust
and the regimen of financial serfdom is
ushered in. This is the condition that
confronts the American people today

AN eastern broker wants to know
how low corn can get before the peo-
pie begin to use it as fuel. The grain
operators evidently want to keep it
close to the burning point. Farmers,
what do you think of it? Don't you
believe it time to commence voting for
party whose purpose it is to destroy
and blot out laws that give a clique of
men privileges to control your pro
ducts and keep prices below the cost OF
production?

An evidence Of the hoggishness of
trusts was exemplified last week when
the railroads cut the rate on anthracite
coal $50 per ton. Instead of letting
the public get the advantage of the re-
duotiOn the coal barons raised the price
of coal just that much, thereby grab
bling the advantage that was intended
for the consumer. The trust is the
enemy Of the consumer and will con.
tinue to ley tribute until the people
demand that its members meet the
same justice that is meeted out to
other kinds of robbers and thieves.

If Spain doesn't quell the rebellion

your Uncle Samuel has promised to

CONSIDERABLE space is devoted by
Kansas papers to the great corn crop
that is alleged to have this year grown
on Kansas soil. But at 1215 cents the
profit is an unknown quantity and the
farmer goes into the winter worse off
than he was in the spring.

rHE coming congress will be COM
posed mainly Of goldbugs-men that
have an interest in maintaining the
gold standard as it Enhances their
credits at the expense of their debtors
and traitors, men who have been
bought to betray their trust to the peo-
pie. This combination viii seek to
forever fastsn upon the nation a policy
that is antagOnistic to the constitution

people, policy that means riches to
the rich, and poverty TO the masses.

The gold forces have further uncoy-

The Populist convention still acts as
red flag to The News. The attack
upon the honesty Of the convention
springs from a brain diseased, and the
people are not so foolish as to let such
an eruption of pus influence them IN
deciding the on-coming election. The
candidates of the Peoples party con
ventioR are the choice of the majority
and any cry Of ring and pTe-arranged
details is as false a statement as could
possibly be made. The howl from the
opposition political parties and The
News but speaks the high merit and
popularity Of the next county officers
nov found upon the Peoples party

TAKEN FOR A GHOST.
An Amusing Experience Of a Young Irish
Traveller In Client.

Traveller In Client.
Many years ago an Irish student hav-
ing obtained travelling scholarship at
Oxford, went abroad 70 see the world,
of which he knew little. Crammed with
the classics. he had not the slightest
knowledge Of any modern language
save English.
On landing at the sleepy town Of
Client he put up at an old many pas
saged hotel and sailed forth in the even
ing to see the town. Shortly after 9
o'clock he returned TO the hotel through
streets ominously silent. He found the
doors shut and saw no signs Of life
within. After making noise enough to
rouse the "sevcn sleepers" he heard the
sound of some one moving within.
The door was stealthily unbarred.
and some one.-whethor man or woman
be could not tell-holding a dim oil
lamp reluctantly gave him admission.
Then, barring the door and muttering
unintelligible sounds, the figure disap-
peared. The guest yelled for the waiter
and was answered by a hooking echo.
He groped his way up the creaking
staircase and felt along the passage till
he came to an open door. Thinking it
the door of his room. which he had left
open TO guide him, be entered. A shrek
was heard, and a grui voice called out
in French, "Who are you." He re-
treated and heard the door angrily shut
and bolted.
In little finder box he had some CT
gar fuses and n wax taper. He lighted
one of the fuses, but before he could ap
plv the flame TO the taper it went out.
! After exhausting his stock Of matches
and filling the passage with a strong
sulphurous odor he was left in the dark
ness of despair.
He regained the staircase, descended
it and found his way to a subterranean
massage. There suddenly he heard
piercing shrek and then a fall like
that of a carpetbag. Arushing Of many
feet was followed by a light.
The feet were those Of walters anc
chambermaids. The fall was that Of 4
plump English lady maid. The bearei
of the light spoke English, and from
him the stranger learned the cause O
his rescue.
The fruitless attempts to light his ia
Der had covered his fingers with phos
nhorus from the matches. His gestic
ulations had rubbed the phosphoru
over his clothes. and in the dark pas
SAGE he glowed with unearthly light
Tho lady's maids nerves were upset
and she went into Mysteries. Havinl
explained these facts, the waiter showe'

WILD FIRES.
