Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1896-10-23

A FELLOW by the name of Gleed, from To
peka spoke here last Saturday night, TO very
small audience. His speech was simply
string Of epithes aimed at Populists and others
opposed to modern Republicanism. His TRADE
against Mrs. Lease was SO vile that he disgust
ed Republicans, many of whom left the hall.

C. A. SMART, the Republican candidate for
Judge of the Fourth judicial district, has just
returned from six-weeks' jaunt to California
and other western points, riding on a FREE
PASS. Smart is a railroad attorney and it costs
him nothing to travel. Friends, do the people
of this district want such a man on the bench?
Is it likely that, with a railroad attorney as
Judge, the people will get justice at his hands?
Think about it. On the other hand, we, the
people, have nominee III the person of Sam'l
A. Riggs, one of the ablest attorneys i'll the
state, who has always fought corporations. He
is their enemy and will see that when corpor-
alton and citizen have a case i'll his court, the
citizen will get JUSTICE. Remember this, and
vote for Riggs and against Smart the railroad
attorney.

compelled to withdraw their deposits in
order to pay living expenses. The
great majority of depositors are wage
earners, and during the last 20 years I'M
der the gold standard their wages have
constantly risen and the prices of the
neoessaries of life constantly fallen. The
silver men admit this themselves. Indeed
their chief Indictment against the gold
standard is that it has lowered prices.
Now how should depositor know
that If the gold standard continues he
will ssbe compelled to withdraw his
money to live upon. His experience has
been that his wages were increasing and
the cost of his living decreasing, and
hence his accommodations rising. If he is to
judge the future by the past, and that is
the only way he can judge, be would
"know'' that If the gold standard is to
continue he would not have to draw on
his accum ula ti0ns for his living.

The veto of sewer order by the Mayor

made out by Mayor Mitchell is certainly

Dr.. Nansen, the explorer, left Norway
in June. 1898. His programme was to go
to the New Siberia ISLANDS and thence
north till his ship should be mpedded in
the ice and drift along with it. His
theory was THAT in time this drifting
would carry him to the North Pole.
Some time ago there was rumor that he
had been successful and had reached the
pole; but this proved false. There seems
to be no doubt that the report of the ar
rival of the doctor in Norway is anthem
Ito. What he has accomplished is not
yet fully known but 1t seems to be GER
tain that he did not reach the pole
though he is said to have got nearer to it
than any previous explorer.

Is it true, asks subscriber, that our
silver. dollar is legal tender to the amount
Of five dollars only? No, 1t is not true.
The silver dollar is legal tender to any
amount. II a man owes a debt of ST.
00c, coo. and tenders payment in silver
dollars the creditor will be obliged to take
them or go without his pay, unless the
debtor voluntarily offers some other form
of money. The law is satisfied by ten
der of silver dollars. The act Of 1878,
known as the Bland-Allison act, restored
to ths silver dollar the full legal tender
quality. 1t is quite true that there Ia O
common impression that the silver dollar
is not legal tender beyond IS, but it is an
erroneous one.

Garner under free silverP He would have
to pay in silver from 80 to 100 per cent
more than he now pays in gold for prac-
tioally everything that no needs, while
at the same time he could feel no uncer-
tainty that his wages would be much,

nothing-he would simply have got back

thar IT, his wages would have been in
creased sufficiently in silver to make
them equal to the present amount in
gold. In the meantime he would have
been obliged to incur all the risks and
losses attending the carrying out of the
free silver policy. There is another par
ticular in which free silver would oper-
ate to the wage-earner's disadvantage. Ii
be is of frugal habits he has saved up
few hundred dollars and put the money
in savings bank. Under free siver these
acoumulations will be reduced about one

EThere seems to be practically unani-
nous agreement among the New York
papers that Mr.. Bryan's Madison Square
Garden speech fell fiat. Senator Jones,
of the Delnocratioc committee, privately
admits THAT the thing was failure,
though in public he INDUCES in some
perfunctory praise. Bryan was entirely
out of his element.

likely, too, he has a small life insurance
policy taken out to make provision for
his family in the contingency of his
death. He has been paying the premie
ums on this policy for years, always
feeling that those dependent on . hina
would be we'll taken care OF, at least for
time, through this little fund after he
had passed away. Now he finds that the
allowance is to be cut down one-balf.
In this case. too, free silver offers him
no equivalents for his loss.

Bryan 8 vsit to Maine has been post
poned until September. We are inclined
to think that later it will be announced
that it has been postponed indefinitely.
Indeed after his New York failure, it
would not be surprising il his managers
insisted that he should close his mouth
and sliently steal away to Nebraska, and
let them arrange for the shouting.

Speaking of the crime of 1872 the

other day, Senator Sherman said:
The honorable Senators from Nevada
were for the gold standard AT the critical
time when the colossal crime of 1873 was
committed. While l WAS arraigned as the
chief criminal, opposed the alleged
criminal legislation and voted against it,
while all the representatives of the silver
states in the Senate and House were in
favor of the very legislation"
II the act Of 1878 was a crime it will be
seen that the silver senators were the
criminals. 1t was they, apparently, that
exercised the vacant influence Per

BRYAN is BEATEN.

Mr.. Bryan is beaten. This prediction
may be as we'll recorded now as at some
later day. The candidate himself fur
nishes the complete assurance of its full
tilment. He has come to the first great
test of the campaign and he has wretch
eddy failed to meet it. His managers had
ella borately planned for him vast spec
tacular demonstration in the enemy g

OF INTEREST TO HORSEMEN.
Plan to Prevent JObbing in Harness
Races.
Purses to be Paid on the Heats-An
Incentive to Honest
Racing.

Horse owners are very much inter-
ested in the innovation the Pacific
Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Asso-
citation is going to introduce at its COM
ing meet at the Ingleside track by
awarding purse money for heats, says
the San Francisco Chronicle" The
purses for these special races will be
divided into three equal parts and each
part will be divided in the ratio of 90,
%, 10 and 10 per cent. among the four
leading horses of each heat The races
are limited to three heats. Each one
of three horses can win first money,
though not winning the race. The
minimum number Of entries is five.
No racing under this plan has ever
been done, but such races are now be-
ing arranged in the East, and it is said
the plan is proving very popular among
horse owners there, the entries being
numerous.
Il am of the opinion that the new
plan will bring out some of the best
sport yet seen in California" said Jo-
seph Cairn Simpson yesterday. Heats
will be hotly contested and entries
will be more numerous, because of the
greater chance to win something I'm
Ger this system it is possible for every
one Of twelve horses in one race to win
some money, and most of them enough
to Gay training expenses. Chances OF
winning money are very much appre-
ciated by horsemen these hard times
Every heat will be exciting under the
new plan, and I am confident that il
will be a fixture in racing"
The association has just completed
ARRANGEMENTS for a free-forall pacing
race that will be one of the greatest
events Of the kind ever witnessed in
California. The three great PAGERS
silkwood, Walter ]. and W. Wood
with records respectively Of 2:01, 2:lC
and 2:O7, are already entered, and it is
expected that haywood, 2:1012; Sey-
mour Wilkes, 2:0S1a, and Diablo, 2:O914
will be entered. The purse offered is
$500
Some sensational records are ex-
pected of the host of horses entered in
the 2:40 trotting and pacing events
Many Of those entered are able to beat
2:20, it is said. The entries for the 2:la
class race comprise some of the fastest
animals in the State
