j. B. Raynor the Colored Populist
Paints the Picture.
In an address to the colored voters
Mr.. ]. B. Raynor, the colored men,
Der of the state executive commit
tee OF the Peoples Party, takes &C.
casion to tell the truth about the
two factions Of the state Repub-
lican party:
There will be five distinct parties
in the next campaign, viz. Lily
White Republicans, Quincy Re-
publicans, renegade or silver DEM
ocrats, Democrats pure aud simple,
and the Peoples party.
Let US examine each OF these
parties and see what their tactics
will be to capture Negro votes, etc.
The Lily White Republicans are
that class of white Republicans
who would not endure Negro de-
nomination in Republican conven-
tions. These men did not quit the
old Republican organization be-
cause they were jealous of or hated
my race (the Negroes), but they
quit because my race sent too
many incompetent and ignorant
delegates to Republican conven-
tions, thus making the delibera-
ton in these conventions ridi-
culous.
The orators in this party will not
speak for Negro votes, but will
strive to capture the business men
men of Texas, and they will glo-
riously succeed, for the business
men of the south are sick and tired
of Democratic legislation.
The orators in this party, to cap.
ture white votes, will appeal to
complexional prejudice. blue veins,
straight hair and business senti-
ments.
The Quincy Republicans are 95
per cent Negroes and per cent
whites. The Negroes in this party
are hotel flunkeys, BARRIERS, dude
school teachers, ignorant preach
ers, saloon walters, etc. The whites
in this party are the mephitic
vap orings from a cadaverous car
pet-baggism. The men in this par
ty are the sordid mercenaries in
politics, and they will make q Re-
publican ticket if the renegade or
silver Democrats will pay them to
do 80, and this will be done just to
keep the Negroes from voting the
Peoples party ticket.
These men nominated a Repub-
lican ticket in the last cam paign,
but, for pelf, they elected Culber-
son for governor and one Pendle-
ton, from Bell county, to Congress.

A Marrow Escape.

What might have been a serious
accident was narrowly averted by
the rare selt-possession OF a lady,
whose name could not be learned,
at the Nolan street railroad cross
ing yesterday afternoon. While
the gates were being lowered to
permit the passage Of a switch en-
CINE, a carriage, containing several
children, their mother and a man,
presumably her husband, attempt
ed crossing the track before the
act Of letting the gates down was
completed. In consequence of this
rash proceeding, the vehicle,
unable to clear itself of the
cross-beams, stood still directly
across the rails, down which the
train was rapidly speeding. Just
at this most critical juncture,
while the occupants Of the car
riage were placed in a very peril
Gus position, there occurred an act
of cowardice on the part of the
male member of the turnout such
as would call forth severe condem-
nation even from a dog. Instead
of driving on or turning back, the
fellow jumped from his seat and
ran down the street, leaving his
family to rescue themselves as
best they could. The woman, how.
ever, instead Of fainting, managed
to obtain possession OF the lines
and with & reat presence Of mind
quickly drove through the half.
lowered gates, thus saving herself
and children and severely rebuk.
ing her chicken-hearten husband
for his cowardice.

KANSAS UNDER THE PLow.

The fields of Kansas make wonder
full showing for the past season. The
amount and value of the farm products
of the state, as shown by an advance
summary issued at the instance of T.
d. Coburn, secretary of the state board
of agriculture, are almost bewildering.
All of the leading crops run into the
millions in value. The table which
we print elsewhere is not only graf
flying study but doubtless will prove
a surprise to many. Upwards of twen-
ty-one million of acres were productive
Of ST. 1858, 664.2S. The value of the
corn crop is more than that Of all other
field crops put together, equalling al
most the total value of live stock, the
wool clip, poultry, eggs, butter, or
chards and so forth. The grand total
produced by the state for the year is
figured at S12S,5O3, 1915. And this
does not include the live stock returned
by the assessors at total additional
valuation of So ,939, 25S.5O. Kansas at
this rate would in a very few years be-
come very rich state.

CONTESTED SEATS.

1t Is reported that there are an ex-
ceptionally large number of contested
seats in the Fifty-fourth congress. This.
of course. especially applies to the
house of representatives. Such con-
tests are at all times to be lamented.
Any shadow of doubt thrown upon the
choice of the people, as lawfully ex-
pressed at the polls, is always to be re-
GREETED. and. il possible, to be ayerted.
These contests are frequently suggest
i've of mere political trickery and parti-
san spite. In every such case, where
the contest is simply an attempt 10
gain a party advantage by defying and
thwarting the popular will and choice,
an irreparable injury Is inflicted upon
our republican institutions By such
means the people lose confidence In
themselves. and grow doubtful OF the
future of their country.
1t Is fortunate that the Republicans
in the Fifty-fourth congress are placed
above all suspicion in this matter. So
decided is the Republican majority in
the house that there could be no rs-
tionsl inducement 10 arbitrary action
for the sake of partisan profit, even II
the majority were SO inclined. With
