In there were anything needed to con-
vince the people of this State of the sin
cerity of the Republican party in carry
ing out their pledges of reform in the
various departments of the State and
city governments. il was convincingly
proven to them here ON Wednesday in the
House Of Delegates by the boots and
jeers and derisions that was heaped up
on Senator Bruce and his friends by the
hoodiums of the Republican Clubs from
Baltimore city. 1t was a disgraceful
scene. and no doubt put many of the
hest elements of the Republican party
to blush on that occasion. The only regret
is that it was not witnessed by those
who before the election cried out for re-
form, reform. They will get it too, with
a yeCeance.

A most useful accomplishment
FOR either young men or young women
with their own way to make in the world
is knowledge Of the Spanish language.
II is not very difficult to acquire. There
will be now constantly more and more
demand for clerks, stenographers, agents
and travelling statesmen who can speak
and write Spanish. Our trade with the
spanish speaking countries is rapidly i'm
creasing. and will continue to do so. In
commercial circles there is quite as
much need for a knowledge of Spanish
as Of French or German.

THE EXCHANGE WON.

Greer, Mills Co.'S Litigation Defeated by
the Kansas Supreme Court.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 2.-The state SUI
creme court has issued an order re-
fusing TO allow the suit of Greer, Mills
& Co., live stock commission agents,
against the Kansas City Live Stock ex-
change, to be certified on from the
court of appeals for review. The
plaintiff sought TO enjoin the exchange
from expeliing it from that body for
its refusal to pay a fine imposed upon
it, In the appellate court it claimed
that that section of the rules of the
exchange giving it authority to assess
a fine was unconstitutional It was also
charged that the exchange was an
illegal body. The court, in deciding
the case, said that if the exchange was
an illegal organization, as charged.
then a member of it had no right to
come into court and ask for relief. The
court is satisfied with the decision of
the appellate court and has refused to
hear the case, and, SO far as the courts
of Kansas are concerned. the exchange
can expei the plaintiffs at once.

HANNA AS A JOURNALIST.
a Great Money Collector But an Editorial
Failure.

Failure.
As the financial manager of a POI
.itical canvass Mr.. Mark Hanna is an
imposing success, but as managing
editor he has not as yet exhibited the
smallest ability. The gold-standard
press of the east is being conducted
with a stupidity that amazes, and neces-
sity must soon compel a changefn the
plan of campaign if the fight is not to be
given up. Bawling cannot be sustained
at concert pitch with good results for
months al a stretch, and so far Mr.. Hanna
mas newspapers have given their
strength to bawling. Unmistakable
hoarseneSs has ensued, as a matter of
course. Everybody who can read has
been long aware that the single-standard
press wishes to be understood that any
man who offers an argument in favor OF
bimetallism is fool, lunatic, a re-
pudiator, a rogue and a loathly foe of
the national honor, of which Mr.. Hanna
and the contributing trusts and syndi-
Gates are, for this occasion only, the
special guardians. If the gold-standard
press has anything else to say on the
subject of finance, the time has certainly
arrived when it should utter itself with
some effort at coherency.
The readers of Mr.. Hanna's news
papers this side of the Alleghanies
know good deal more about the money
question than they did few months
ago. They have learned that there is
plenty of sanity behind the silver cause.
For one thing, they have been listening
tc and perusing Mr.. Bryan's addresses,
and such of these readers as desire to
remain gold men not unreasonably
yearn for something better in reply than
dull jeers and cheap abuse. The hum

SECRET FRIENDS OF M'klNLEY.
ShalIowness OF the Gold Democrat Pre-
tense.

ShalIowness of the Gold Democrat Pre-
tense.
What a hollow mockery is this third
ticket movement, to he sure. Will any
one assert seriously that the men call.
ing themselves democrats and shouting
against Bryan viii try to elect the third
ticket? Such a thing is preposterous,
They are Mckinley men, every one, and
advocacy of third candidates is the
means by which they hope to retain
the name of democrats, so as to par
ticipate in party affairs hereafter
should they, instead of the people, be in
q position of party control
If they were disinterested, if they be
lieved in what they preached. if they
were patriots, as they say they are
why should they refrain from doing
openly and honestly what they are
doing by stealth and deceit? In the
name of democracy they are seeking
to vitiate the will and defeat the pur-
pose of vast majority of the party as
represented in both the state and ma
tionai conventions.
They say they are democrats, that
supporters of Bryan are not democrats.
Who is the judge of that which consti-
tuteS democracy DOeS the possession
of enormous wealth impart a superior
intelligence? Is the man worth a mil
lion more a patriot than he who re-
ceives $3.50 day? Is Russell Sage,
the miser. better man than an hon
est charitable farmer?
If, as the third ticket men say, they
are the real democrats. why didn't
they elect delegates to the regular
democratic state convention? They
did not elect a single delegate to the
convention, although they attempted
to do so. Why didn't they? Because
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-10-08

they are small minority. They don't
represent popular feeling. They are
a class. They form a coterie of dis
satisfied and disgruntled democrats
whose personal interests would be af-
fected by expansion of the present close
listed currency medium. They sacri-
flee the substance of democracy by
repudiating its principles, but they wor-
ship the shadow of democracy by
falsely retaining its name.
They should do openly what they
are doing secretly. They should de-
clare for Mckinley and not try further
to hoodwink the people.-Buffalo On,
W Times

blest man who has read Mr.. Bryan's
Brooklyn speeches is fully competent
to answer everything that he has heard
from the gold advocates, and to supply
them with great stores of needed infor-
nation besides. In those speeches Mr..
Bryan exposed the dangers, the folly,
the criminality of our existing system
of finance, gave sound reasons why we
should reopen the minis to silver, and
in his comprehensive, mastery way met
and overthrow the objections, sincere
and pretended, of his more rational adj
versarieS. The average man can under
stand these clear presentations of fact
and these strong arguments quite as
well as any of the literary gentlemen
who serve MIR. Hanna, and whose only re-
Spouse is mere yelling of the tiresome
cries that insult the intelligence Of the
American voter.
That ugly trail'' which Mr. Bryan
left behind him on his previous tour of
this region, and that so alarmed the
''sound money" men, is being broad
ened and made uglier each day. His
appeal is to the good sense of his hear
ers, to- their patriotism and the self
interest that is to be served by the gen.
eral prosperity of the country. He
leaves it to his opponents to make ap-
peals to the PREJUDICE and non-social
self-interest of the rich and selfish.
Votes against the gold standard,
against the further manipulation OF the
currency, against more bond issues.
against continued vassalage to Europe.
against hard times, are being secured
by the thousand every "a hours by these
speeches. Mr.. Hanna cannot but be
aware of this, yet such is his incapacity
as managing editor that he permits
his press to pursue course that enor-
mously emphasizes the effect of the adj
dresses. AS collector of money, Mr..
Hanna is a Napoleon. but IN journalism
he is away down at the crossroads level.
and should Mckinley be beaten and he
himself, by the loss of his fortune. find
it needful to go to work, we fear that
it would task all his journalistic powers
to fill an editorial position.-N. Y.
