SPEAKING of the restoration of ICON
hdence and prosperity" since the cleo
ton of Mckinley, we are this week
most forcibly reminded of an instance
of this kind within stones throw of
our own latch string. Now, dear read
er, we do not wish To convey the idea
that this wave of prosperity has strick-
en- us nor that it has even threatene d to
strike us, but we have learned of at
least one gentleman in our burg with
whom 1t has come in contact with all
It's force and power. That same gen
tleman is none other than l.. NJ. AK
line, the editor and publisher of tie
Medicine Lodge Cresset-a sheet which
speaks so much about protection, Nc
kinley and prosperity. 1t so happens
that our friend, in connection with
running a gold standard newspaper.
does little farming on the side and
frequently employs labor, hence it was
that we had an opportunity OF learning
the dimensions and solidity of the pros
perity chunks which were coming in
his direction. Upon inquiry we learn
that this apostle of Napoleon Nc
kinley is Offering the enormous sum of
20 cents per day for the labor of a man
and teaml Now who will dare to saw
That confidence and business have not
been revived Brother Axline is man
who practices in accordance with the
doctrine be breaches; he promised the
laborers of Barber county that if Nc.
kinley should be elected high wages
would follow and he now comes man.
fully up to the rack and offers IS cents
day for man and team which is
equal to 374 cents day for man with.
out team. He gets all the labor he
wants for this money and. even with
his almost unlimited capital, IS unable
to supply all corners. Whatever we
may have said in the past we feel
thankful that prosperity is in the land.
Wages, S7a cents per day; let us pray.

JUST now Mark Hanna, the gold stan
dard editors and the eastern bankers
are making things merry by indulging
in banquets and receptions galore. All
this aristocratic jollIfcation is paid for
by the poor mortals who can hardly exc
out an existence by working almost
night and day. And then to think that
this merriment and endless celebration
Is because of the fact that principle
has triumphed at the polls which, if al
lowed to remain in force for any consid-
cradle length of time, will reduce the
masses to state Of serfdom! The sim
gle fact that mlllionaires and bond and
money sharks feel so Well over McKin-
ley election and the gold standard
victory ought to convince all reasonably
intelligent men that it is not what the
laborers and producers of the country
need. We hope and believe that four
more years of Hanna rule will induce
the American people to effect radical
change in government affairs.

STILL CROAKING.

Some foolish talk is still being indulg-
ed in by those who have been disap-
pointed in the outcome of the election
in Kansas. They insist that Kansas is
ruined; that not another dollar Will be
loaned or invested in the state. If this
is the policy to be pursued by the hold
ers of capital toward states which vo-
ted for silver it will shut them out of
nearly half the states of the Union and
more than half of the entire territory.
In many OF the states which voted
for the maintenance OF the gold stand
ard there is all the money needed and
little room for profitable loans or inyest-
ments. What then will the capitalists
do with their money? Unless they do
something with 1t by which it will be
placed in circulation there can be no
return of prosperity as promised either
for them or for the country. If on the
other land they put their money into
the channels of business and restore
the lost prosperity does anybody imag-
ine that Kansas can be prevented from
sharing in the general good of the coun-
try?-State Journal. Rep.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Washington, Nov. 1.-The President
todayissued the following Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation:
BY the President of the United States
The people of the United States
should be ever mindful OF the gratitude
they owe the God of nations, for. His
watchful care has shielded them from
disaster and pointed out to them the
way of peace and happiness. Nor
should they ever refuse to acknowledge
with contrite hearts their proneness to
turn away from Gods teachings and to
follow with sinful pride after their own
devices.
70 the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, it is fitting that on a day
especially appointed we should join to-
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplication.
Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland, Pres
ident of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
twentysixth day of the present month
of November. to be kept and observed
as day of thanksgiving and prayer
throughout our land.
On that day let all our people forego
their usual work and occupation. and
assembled in their accustomed places
OF worship, let them with one accord
render thanks to the Ruler of the Uni
verse for our preservation as a Nation
and our deliyerance from every threat
ened danger; tor the peace that has
dwelt within our boundaries; for our
defense against disease and pestilence
during the year that has passed; for the
plenteous rewards that have followed
the labors of our husbandmen: and for
all the other blessings that have been
vouchsafed to US.
And let us through the mediation of
Him who has taught us how to pray.
implore the forgiveness of our sins and
continuation of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the poor and needy, and
by deeds of charity let our offerings of
praise be made more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States, which have caused to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this,
fourth day OF November. in the year of
our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred
and ninetysix, and of the independence
of the United States of America, the
one hundred and twenty-first.
Signed: GROVER CLEVELAND.
By The President,
RICHARD OLNEY,
Secretary of State

ONE Of the sickest redeem
ers in the state since the cleo
ton, is none other than Sir
Morton Albaugh, editor of
the Kingnlan Leader Courier,
and at present holding a So.
600 job on the state Board of
Charities under Gov. Morrill,.
He uses his columns to call
Leedy, Doster, Botkin and
Simpson all manner of mean
things and condemns Kansas
as only a republican editor
can. If Albaugh don't like
Kansas and her people he
can take the next train and
never show his carcass again.
Nobody will weep.

KANSAS is progressive. Kansas
leads. She has set the pace, other
states have followed and more will fol
low in the future. Kansas was one of
the first states to demand financial and
other reforms and she is one of the few
states which still persists in demanding
those reforms. Kansas is inhabited by
the most enlightened people of the
world and their superiority over those
OF the eastern states has been album
dainty manifested during the past six
years. She was then a republican state
by $1,000 majority but the party aban-
doned its principles and new party was
born. 70 that party Kansas people fled
by the thousands, and from that party
they hope for relief. They will cling to
that party as long as it proves itsel
faithful to it's pledges, but no longer
Kansas is not worshipper of false idols
She asks for equality and justice among
men and in that demand she has ever
been and will continue to be aggressive
1t should be pleasure for all men tc
live in such state.

yet there were few, and very few,
that were misled by the Door subter-

of the voters being so well informed on

Now that the POpullsts have COM
plete control of the law-making ma.
chlnery Of the state they have duty to
perform. If they fail to carry out the
pledges, so fa- as possible, they have
made TO the people they will deserve de-
feat two years hence. However we are
confident that the people will get relief
so far as state laws can give it to them.
The men who compose the incoming
administration and majority of the
legislature are not the kind of people
who violate their pledges or neglect
duty. All around, this will be the most
creditable administration the state has
ever had.

LET THE GOOD WORK CONTINUE.

The partial defeat of the Peoples Par.
ty and the principles which it repre-
sents, at the recent election, should not
discourage the friends of financial re-
form. The local victories which have
attended our efforts is sufficient to over
balance national defeat. When it is
remembered that all the wealth, COM
bines and corporations were united
against the cause of free silver lu Is not
strange that Bryan was defeated. It
would rather have been almost marvel
lous had he been elected.
The Peoples Party has been in exist
ence only six years but during that time
it has accomplished much. 1t is the
| PARTY that forced the democracy TO
''clean house" and recognize the cause
of silver; it is the party that forced the
republican party TO plainly declare in
favor of the gold standard and cease
straddllng the financial issue; and il is
the party that in 1900 will cause polit-
| ical revolution in the interest of the
masses. Had there been no Peoples
party there would have been no free sill
yer agitation and the South and West,
instead of presenting an almost solid
front in the demand of financial
reform, would today be in line
with the East in the attempt to deliver
this country and its people to the mon.
led aristocracy of foreign nations.
So we say there is no cause for the
friends of bimetallism and other re-
form measures TO become discouraged.
These principles have trlumphed
throughout the entire South and West
during period of six years of agita-
ton, and have strong following in
eastern localities. The American peo-
ple-the majority of them-will in time
do their own thinking and with the tai.
ent now in the held educating them
there is little doubt but that our meas
ures will triumph at the next general
election.
1t is the history of all nations that
great reforms were never accomplished
in moment. False theories are al.
ways put to thorough test before the
lngs, but when that has been done theil
day is at an end.
In this instance the republican party
has been put in complete control, ma
tionally, and when they fail (as the GER
tainly Will to bring relief to the mass
es, that party's reign is ended. There
are, therefore, the best of reasons why
the education should be kept up. Pop
ulist demands must succeed sooner OF
later or the Republic will go down and
the American people have too long en-
joyed the fruits of freedom to tolerate
serfdom in this day and age of The
world.
Don't be discouraged and dlshearten
ed, but keep at it everlastingly. Sue
cess will ultimately crown your efforts

IT is expected that the next congress,
which will be republican, will retire the
greenbacks and delegate the power to
issue money to the national banks ex-
clusiyely. This will deprive the people
of large volume of money and prices

farther. Thus the pauper-making ma
