CORN, HOGS AND LARD.

Prices of hog products were never
before so low as they have been dur
ing the present season. Lard is so
cheap that. on the basis of present costs
of cottonseed oil and oleO stearine, it Is
cheaper to produce western steam lard
than the compound product which has
so largely been made in substitution
therefor The price of corn, which Is
the food basis of bacon and lard. is also
fundamentally low, and values of other
grains are down TO or below the lowest
previous records. If there be any in
centive in low prices, there should be
during the next few months consider
able increase in the export demand for
these products of American agricul-
ture. 1t will require big increase in
the quantities exported, however, to
cause any enlargement of the aggre-
gate value of produce shipments at the
present low range of prices. What is
wanted is improved home markets,

tend that he is the Democratic cam
didate, and that no surrender will be
made to the other branch of the Popu-
list party which met in St Louis. But
Senator Jones displays lack of polit-
zeal wisdom when he attacks the Popu-
lists for standing by their party organ
iaZtion. by declaring that the members
of that party in the south are "out for
nothing but spoils." OF course Sen
ator Jones does not like the southern
Populists. He knows that the men
for whom Tom Watson stands have
been fighting the Democratic party
for years, and that they simply repre-
sent a revolt against the old Demo
cratic machine which has stuffed ballot
boxes and falSified the count at cleo
tons in that section for a quarter Of a
century. The Bryan manager may
succeed in fooling northern Popufsts.
but he cannot accomplish such result
with the southern Populists.

GREASY LEEDY.

This man Leedy, the Coffey county
| Pop, nominated at Abilene as the fu-
sion candidate for governor. had public
attention first directed to him by hav-
| ing his character thoroughly punctured
in the state senate by Ed O'Brien, state
senator from Sedgwick county. He
came to the state a Republican, and
seems to have been everything since
that time. AS a man he is not to be
named on the same day with Governor
Lewelling. whom the Simpson-Breiden-
thai combination turned down only be-
cause they couldn't run him. Leedy is
a fat, greasy yawper of the jumper
stripe Il Dunkin of Punkin without
Dunkin's good pumpkin sense. He
can do just one thing, and only one
thing, and that is work his jaw. He
can talk from Abilene to November
end lie innocent of less decency and
guilty of more abuse and blackguard-
ism than any man in the Pop party.
He. in al seriousness, made PROPOSE
ton to build new capital in the CEN
ter of Kansas without expense to the
state, the legislature to give him full
and exclusive speculative privileges
over the new site. If his brain de
velopment eQualled his abdominal ro-
tundity he would be immense. AS it
is ne is a slick-tongued freak. The
exact counterpart of his force of char
actcr can be found in the clapper of
any bell, whether slugn to the neck Of
a cow or hung in church steeple. The
friends of Governor Lewelling are COM
manded, and the Democrats are solicit
ed TO vote for this jibber-j ahber. who
seems to have attempted the Bryan role
of oratory, but who was really NOM
mated as a tool of the Simpson Breid-
enthal clique. and in pursuance of
ring scheme which is to run every
thing in Kansas in the way of state and
federal pap in the event of success.
His very name is enough. and coupled
with that Of Boss Breidenthal and

has Col. Alex. III. Mcclure, the veteran
editor of the Democratic Philadelphia
Times. The colonel has surveyed the
present political situation with care
and his conclusions are interesting. In
Col. McClure'S judgment the following
eleven states are certain for Mckinley
Connecticut, Delaware. Maine, Mary

New Jersey. New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island and Vermont; in the ioi-

states the chances are five To one in

probable by the largest majority ever

BETTER FOLLOWED THAN LED.

The man who shifts prodigious
changes in the air always misses badly
when he guesSes at their distance. The
Populists of this state have been regal
inS Kansas for the last six years with
the story that the old parties must go;
that there must be a complete political
revolution; and that he vicor of it all
would be the POpuliSt party.
In the beginning the average Kan
san 5eleved that the PopuliStS were
right on all three of these propositions.
that the old parties must go: that there
must be complete political revolu-
ton and that the victor of il all would
be the Populist party.
Thousands of Kansans left the Re-
publican party when they first heard
an enunciation of Populist principles
principles which demanded nothing in
particular. but demanded everything
reform .atiye IN general. But thousands
o. Republicans did not IRISH into the
Topulist party. because they had ser
iouS objections TO the management OF
the new party. The Clemens and
CorningS ami Rightmires and Willitts
and DosterS of the new party frishten-
ed the average citizen. who while own
ing he was in the frying pan did not
desire 10 leap into the fire. A Re
publican so neSitating stood by his
party for two years longer hoping 10

manned the same. but the party was
