OF the republican "plsn Of salvation"
II Populist sinners fad not there inform
alton concerning the proper way OF
Pssching the republican New Jerusalem,
she Door benighted hesthen must perish
in the darkness Of ignorance. Assum-
ing then that the boss evRngel OF the
nsw.old dispensBiiOn-oG the good time
Coming-has shown as in his message
his party's map of the proposed road to
the other side Of Jordan, let as seek in
shat document the answer to our peni"
tsntial conundrum-"Whst shall we do
to be savsdS"
Alas, l had forgotten. The Populists
are not to be saved. They are the 1l5,'
600 sChsming sstsns from whom the l8O,-
600 republican MsssiShs are to redeem
"the state" However, as we are part Of
tho state, It will be part Of the generous
work OF our b0neRactOrs to save us from
ourselves. So let us proceed.
Let us sec what slls US, according to
the diagnosis Of this great physician OF
Che "rsgular' school. The symptoms
are not ali described in one place, but
with Commendabls regard for the pa
tisnt's feelings, DE-. Morrill, scstters the
indications OF our malady. Brought to-
Rather from their concealmsnt in Vsri-
ous paragraphs, they are enumerated as
follows:
"DuriDg the last two years y 1" n
there has been q serious depression n
value and a decreased demand for labor,
which renders our burdens Ear more op-
pressive than they would be ia years Of
prosperity.
"Ths past two years have witnessed q
rapid withdrawal OF capital from the
state, and the amount would have been
much larger if it could have bsen COL
lsoted. It is estimated that 10 millioh
dollars have been Withdrawn tie past
two years by parties in the East who
had loans secured by real estate and
who have lost confidence In Kansas in
vsstments; while nearly all the large in
aurance companies and savings banks
which have been accustomed to make
loans here, "pOsItively refuse to take any
new mortgages"
What causes brought about these con-
ditionsP Governor Morrill, has clear
ideas on this subject. The whole matter
10 quite simple. Hear him. The causes
have been:
C) "The financial panic through
which the country has passed during
the last two years, in some respects the
nsveFest that has ever been known, and
the partial failure Of crops for the same
pePiod." What caused "the financial
panio" which caused the other tribula-
zion is 80 mystery" into which it were
wicked to inquire.
(2) The 15 millions were withdrawn
by "our Eastern friends" because they
had ''lost confidence in Kansas invest
msnts;" and the insurance companies
and savings banks have positively re.
fused to take any new mortgages until
the lave are changed" What laws are

duced rate Of interest. y Under
q prompt foreclosure law the lender
would, in most cases, exercise greater
leniency, knowing that he has the power
Rt any time to collect his debt when he
finds that the debtor is making no effort
to psy. It is g rare thing in Kansas to
find q lender who will not be lenient
with borrower who is making an earn
est, honest, cheerful effort to meet his
obligation"
Such being our ailments and their
causes, what remedy does Governor Nor
rill suggest? Rsmembsr, the people Of
Kansas are the sufferers. What treat
msnt do they need? Says Governor
Morrill, (ths italics are mine): II am not
aware that there is any demand from
the people for a radical change in the
Law. y Industry and eco
nomy wisely directed, will always find
their reward, in q measure, regardless OF
what human laws 'msy decree" So the
people - the sick folks demand no
change in the laws. But somebody else
does. The withdrawing" capitalists
who, through the financial panic"
they manufactured, and their with
drswsl Of Is millions within the past two
years, have caused "a serious depression
in values and q decreased demand for
labor" and thus produced our tribula-
ton - these, do demand "a radical
change in the laws" They demand, and
the governor, therefore, recommends,
the repeal Of the redemption law, and
the enactment Of a trust-deed law like
that iu force in Missouri, under which
homestsads can be quickly closed out at
public sale without waiting for the
judgment Of a slow court in a fore
closure suit. This is the republican
plan for easing up the people who are
suffering from "s serious depression in
values and q decreased demand for Ia.
bor," brought about by "the financial
panic through which the country has
passed during the last two years, in
some respects the seVerest that has ever
been known, and the partial failure Of
crops for the same PERIOD" plus the
withdrawal Of Is million dollars by
Eastern money lenders. Here are the
governors own words:
"Ths proceedings in foreclosure should
be made as simple and inexpensive as
it is possible to make them, with due
regard to the rights Of the mortgsgor.
The Missouri form Of trust deed has
proven, after many years Of trial, very
satisfactory. Something Of that char
Rctsr, with q provision that the mort
gsgOr should have the privilege Of re-.
deception for twelve months, by pay
ing taxes, insurance and interest, would
doubtless be satisfactory to the Dor.
rover and lender. / Rm confident that
the best interests of sll classes would
be promoted by the enactment of such
laws sS would tend to restore confidence
in our ability and willingness to
promptly meet our obligations"
Let as take the measure of this man
who ia to rule over US for two years to
come. Let US consider his ideas thus
put forth concerning the most import.

the people.

heroic Action of three Men Enables IN
Army TO Gross q River.
On or about October u. 1894 a com.
pany of engineers of the Fifth division
of the Fifth army corps reached the
Yalu river. They first of all started
to look for the best point for con-
structing o bridge over the river.
The first thing to be done for the pur-
pose was to sound the water. The
other side of the river being in pos
session of the enemy great care had
to be taken not to alarm the enemy,
and the night time was chosen for
sounding, which rendered the under
taking much more difficult of accom-
plishment
In sounding rope must be carried
to the other side, and some one must
cross the river to carry and fix the
end of the rope. Mlhara Kunitaro a
soldier from the town of Buyo, offered
to undertake the service. He was the
most noted swimmer in the company.
He sprang into the water and began
to wade across, but before he reached
by the cold and was disabled from
swimming. Every effort was made
from the shore to save the hero, but
In vain. He was drowned and drifted
to the other side. Seeing this SER
geant Miyake Hyokichi, jumped into
the river and ordered another soldier
to follow him with rope, and both
arrived safely on the other side. The
preparations for sounding the water
were thus completed. The fact that
the Japanese army easily crossed the
Yalu rivsr was owing to the heroic
deeds o. ;hese three men.

The gray wolves are on the rampage in the
northern part Of GalIatin Couaty, Montana.
Already they have killed hundreds of calves,
and in some instances have been known to
attack steers and cows that became separated
from the herd.
The gray wolf IS the lercest OF his species,
and many nan in the great woods of the
East aud North has been killed by them.
A few days ago farmer in the northern
part OF the county shut two large colts in a
corral while he took his team to field.
When he came back after the colts few
hours later he found both had been killed ty
wolves.
Another stcekman. while riding over the
hills came across two large steers that had
been carrying on an unequal hght with
wolves. The steers were surrounded by a
number of the big gray creatures and several

they were nearly exhausted by the unequal
