Will Wash its Hands.

The suggestion of the VOICE that
the Reform press of Kansas should
wash its hands Of the false attitude
in which it had been placed by Abe
Steinberger, its president, seems to
have struck popular chord. A
number of the Populist papers in
the state have endorsed it editor.
tally. A meeting will not be called,
but protest has been formulated
and will be published in a few days
with the signatures of nearly all the
Populist editors in the state.
The Mound City Torch edited by
Laura L. Lowe the vice president
Of the association says:
Above We give a clipping from the
VOICE, edited by Lyman Naugle. Sec.
rotary Of the Reform Press association
of the state of Kansas. We are in
hearty accord with the secretary, and
as vice president of the association
would second the suggestion of the
secretary that the executive COM
mittee call the association together
for action.
In 1861 party lines were obliterated
and the loyal patriots, true to the re-
public, said, "We will preserve the
Union, if need be, with our lives.
Give us one country, over which oar
beautiful stars and stripes can float"

A vote for FOrney, Hackney and
Harbaugh is a sure vote for lower
freight rates. Why should Kansas
people pay higher freight rates than
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois or Missouri?
For no other reason on earth than be-
cause we allow them to charge them,
and the Republican party has fought
every movement of the people to re-
strict them.

A Tribute to Judge DOster.

On Wednesday afternoon at 2
O'Clock Judge Frank DoSter spoke
in the opera house. He spoke at
Conway Springs the same night.
Judge Doster is the Peoples candi-
date for Chief Justice. His opponent
is Judge Carver of Salina, who was
nominated by the Republicans
through the influence Of the railroads,
against the present Chief Justice
David Martin. Carver owes his NOM
inatiOn to the railroads. No Repub-
lican will deny this. Judge Martin
had MADE himself obnoxious to the
railroads by his many equitable de-
ciSiOns against them, and by his
famous decision on the homestead re-
demption law. The representatives
of the railroads told Martin to his
face that he was not safe man and
the Republican party turned him
down at their bidding.
Judge Carver has always been
corporation attorney. If elected he
will feel all the more urder Obliga-
tions to his creator, the railroads.
This being the case interest turns
to the man who is pitted against him.
He is Kansan from youth and one of
high attachments.
1t has been the fashion for years
not only among Republicans, but to a
considerable extent also among Dem.
OcratS, to denounCe IudgesFrank Dos
ter as an anarchist, and as a man un-
worthy of confidence and support of
the voters Of Kansas. This unfavCr-
able opinion which is based almost
entirely upon ignorance, does Mr..
D0ster a great injustice.
Mr.. Doster, who is in reality a true
humanitarian as we'll as one of the
foremost juriSts in Kansas, is the
very opposite Of what he is supposed
to be by some Of his prejldiced de-
tractors. He is not a noisy agitator.
He is a quiet, cultured gentleman,
conservative by nature, yet richly en-
dowed intellectually, withall his in
stincts on the side Ofhumanity. Just
as rapidly as Mr.. Doster becomes
really known, he makes fast friends.
A more unselash man does not exist
in Kansas.
H. Clay Park, the veteran Demo
cratic editor Of Atchinson, confesses
the wrong that has Deen done Judge
DOster 10 such handsome terms in
recent letter, we cannot refrain from
quoting his words as follows:
Recently Mr.. Doster addressed a
large audience. He was one Of the
few public men of Kansas had never
seen or heard. l had read of him,
and l confess frankly l went to his
meeting expecting to see and hear a
lOng-haired and wild eyed anarchist.
l saw him and heard him, and now
l make another confession. never
heard man on platform who was
milder and kinder, or more logical or
convincing than this man Frank Dos
ter. In my opinion his historical
epitome Of the financial legislation of
this country was more accurate,
and more tersely and honestly present.
ed that that of any public speaker l
have heard during this campaign; and
his speech altogether was one of the
most patriotic and best have heard
during the campaign.
May it not be possible that some of
US old Democrats have fallen into Re-
publican grooves when we denounce
this man, Frank Doster?"

The st. Louis Republic prints the
following interview with Col. Thor d,
Shell, Of Dewitt county. Many peo.
pie in Sumner county know Tom
Smell:
"D-n the farmer who is for a
single money standard! No man has
yet felt more keenly than have the
runious grip Of the gold standard.
Even three years ago / could have sold
my Dewitt county land for 800 an
acre. Today l couldn't get $50 an
acre If should offer it for sale. The
cause Of this rapid decline Of land val.
ues is so plain and simple that a rank
fool ought to underestimate. Contrac.
tion OF the currency has sent money
up so high that 1t takes twice as much
farm products to buy dollar as il
formerly took. The decline in land
values has naturally followed the fall
ing prices Of farm products. What.
kind OF fool farmer is it that can't
see this? And what sort OF a fool
farmer is it that is going TO vote for a
continuation Of the financial policy
that is impoverishing him! / don't
believe that many Of them WILL"

WASHING THE HEART.

Quite a novel surgical operation has
been performed in Parma, Italy, by Prof
Camille Nerdilli in the presence of all
the physicians of the Parmese Hospital,
and with very satisfactory results. The
new operation was the washing of the
heart. 1t was the first operation of the
kind and Prof Verdell employed the
washing apparatus recently invented by
Prof Riva. After making an operative
incision Prof Ncrlclli first cleaned the
pericarlium of the patient, Il twelveycar-
old-boy, of the pus which had accumula-
ted therein, and then proceeded to wash
the heart with strong solution of soda
bborate (boraX). The operation was very
successful, inasmuch rs no further com.
plications have arisen. The boy is now
doing very well, and is on his way to
complete recovery. Prof. Verdcli has re-
ceived numerous congratulations for his
success with the new operation from sur.
geonS all over Europe. -Scicnce
