candidacy for the nomination to the
office of Appellate Judge of the south
ern department of the Kansas appel
late court.
Humboldt Union: Hon. Oscar Feust
of lola, is q candidate for Appellate
Judge of this district, and his name
will be presented before the judicial
convention at Chanute, April Is Mr..
Foust is so well known to the great
majority of our readers that he scarce
ly needs an introduction. He has been
resident of Allen county for many
years, and has had law practice in
all the adjoining counties and before
the Supreme Court of the State. AS
student of law he will compare
favorable With any in the district
and, if chosen to the position be as
pires, will fill it with credit to him
self and satisfaction to his cOnstitu-
ents. Mr.. Foust enters the contest
with the appreciation and support OF
Allen county, and with encouraging
prospects from nearly all the seven
teen counties in this district, and his
success seems to be almost certain.
We trust he will win the nomination.
Howard Couunt: Hon. Oscar Foust
of lola, was in Howard last week, ac-
companied by his old time friend, j.
n. Bird, of Elk Falls. Mr.. Foust is a
candidate for Judge of the Appellate
court of this district, and is looking
up his chances for the Republican
nomination. He is one of the able
lawyers of the State and has strong
support. He made good impression
on the Elk county people.
Moran Herald: Major Oscar Foust
of lola, has decided to enter the race
for Judge of Kansas Court of Appeals,
eastern division, southern depart
ment. Mr.. Feust is a Republican
who zealously lsbors for his party
principles. He is known over the
State by the profession as a brilliant
lawyer, and stands foremost among
them. He is man of learning and
experience and no one can question
his capability and qualification. In
our opinion, the Republican party
could do no better than to nominate
Mr.. Foust for the position.

TIE THAT BINDS

VIM. Buchan not only carried
Douglass for Congress, but he got a
resolution passed binding the dele
gates to the convention to vote for
him "until he is nominated or with
draws from the race" When a can
didate has lead pipe cinch it is all
right for him to work it; but woe unto
the county upon which it is worked,
for it changes its delegates from in
telligent human beings to mere voting
machines. A candidate is seldom
a wise judge of the hour when it is
time to quit, and there have been
cases of whole counties being dragged
into the ditch by an obstinate candi-
ate who refused to the last minute
to see what had been apparent to his
least astute supporter for days.

CHEAP GAS.

One of the results of the war between the two
gas companies will be TO furnish every house
hold where gas is consumed with gas stove.
A constant procession OF these useful articles
may be seen on the street every day, and they
will enormously increase the consumption Of
gas. thus reimbursing the companies which
give away the stoves. Gas at dollar thous-
and is nearly as cheap as wood or coal and is
safer than gasOline-K. C. Star.
If gas is cheap at dollar a thous-
and what word would you use if you
were getting it at about five cents a
thousand, as we are here in lola
When we talk about "dolIar gas" in
lola We mean not dollar thousand
cubic feet, but dollar for all the gas
we can burn in one stove twenty four
hours day for month. That is the
rate the people of this town are pay.
ing now for cook stoves in summer.
In winter We pay $500 a month for
cook stoves, $3.50 for the first heater
SIPS for the second. and S1.00 for the
third if it is needed. AS matter OF
fact, however, q great many small
houses use but one stove, and as the
fire is kept burning night and day
the house is kept warm throughout
at total expense of $500 a month.
In view of the cheapness of our fuel
and the luxury of using it, together
with other advantages that it would
be tedious to enumerats here, we
have no hesitation in saying that q
family can be kept in comfort and
afforded ali the advantages of schools,
churches and good society, for less
cost in lola than in any other town in
North America.

NOT THE FIRST ISSUE.

That great tolerance is shown among Kansas
Republicans for honest difference of opinion on
the vexed and complicated financial question is
evidenced by the fact that BrOdericki is re-nomi-
mated in the First district In spite of the fact
that he is classed as q free Silver advocate,
while Calderhead, gold standard man, seems
to have no opposition in the Fifth district
where the silver sentiment is much stronger
than II is in the First. This shows first eonfid.
ence in the men, az to their integrity, and Sec
Ond confidence in the party, as to its ability to
settle the financial matter in the best way
poSsible.-0SkdlOOsd Independent
1t not only means these things, but
it means also that the Republicans of
Kansas do not regard the silver ques-
tion as the paramount issue in Amer
lean politics. The great majority of
Kansas Republicans believe that if
this country will take the right kind
of care of the tariff question, the
money question will take care of
itself,

EXPLAIN 1T.

IT is said that Secretary Bristow
and other mouthpieces of the Admin
istratiou were the most active work
ers for Colonel Murdoch. Are we to
infer then that the effort of the Ad-
ministratiOn TO enforce the law at
Wichita was all grand stand play,
and that the apparently vicious as
saults ofthe Eagle upon the Governor
were all part of the wretched farce,
while below it all was a perfect un-
derstanding between both of the
principal actors that it was all for
show? Or are we TO understand that
the Administration regards Col. Muir
docks support of so much value that
it is willing to confess defeat, humili-
tate itself and stultify its party for
the sake of "placating" him? We
ask these questions in good faith and
we should be glad TO have the Ottawa
Herald answer them.

CITY SCHOOL NOTES.

The High School was saddened on
Tuesday morning by the news of the
death of Enos Thomas. No student
was more favOrably known to his
fellows than was Mr.. Thomas during
the tree years he was among us.
Prof. Holder lectures again tonight
upon American history.
School house cleaning ends this
week with the completion of kaIsom-
lining the halls and cloak rooms. 1t
is good to look upon clean walls at
school as we'll as at home. The ex-
perience is refining one for children
and we confidently expect better
work for the remaining two months
of school.

KENTUCKY LAYS IT OVER KANSAS.

kENTUCh1 LAnS H ONEh hANoAo'
The Kentucky Legislature has ad-
iourned after session of sixty days
in which absolutely nothing was ac-
complished, not even the passage Of
revenue or appropriation bills. The
whole time was spent in wrangling
over the election of a United States
Senator, and even that was not ac-
complished. No blood was shed, but
the danger of disorder was so immi-
nent at the last that the Governor
called out the militia to preserve the
peace. And now the State is bank
rupt and il seems inevitable that
many of the public institutions must
be abandoned for want of money to
carry them on. That beats Kansas.
We thought the Lewelliug war of
1893 was the most shameful spectacle
that could be made by any civilized
American commonwealth. But the
Kansas Legislature of 1898 was pa
triotism and wisdom personified in
comparison with the Kentucky Leg
isIatue of 1896. Kentucky Democracy
has made even Kansas POpulism re-
spectacle.

THAT TRAMP ROCKPILE.

The suggestion made by the REGIS
TER two weeks ago, that city rock
pile be provided for the relief of hon.
est men and the encouragement of
tramps, has been copied by a great
many of our exchanges with APPROX
ing comment. And we observe that
at an "Anti-Tramp" convention held
lately in Wisconsin the opinion was
general that the great majority OF
tramps systematically avoid work
and take to the road because it is an
easy way to live in idleness, and it
was accordingly recommended by the
convention that provision be made for
a judicious system of labor for tramps
and all other prisoners in county
workhouses and elsewhere.
We are convinced from the many
expressions of personal approval that
have come to us from all sides since
the publication of our article, that
the people of lola would cordially en-
dorse their council in taking the
action suggested.

SENATOR BACON'S VIEW.
IF the Election We're Today Bryan
Would be Elected.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Bacon
OF Georgia, who has just returned from
the Pacific coast. was at Democratic
headquarters today. In an interview
he said that as the sentiment now ex-
lists in the country, Bryan would be
elected, but that Republicans told him
the sentiment of the people would
cnagne before election.
The senator said he failed to see that
the sentiment of the country through
which he had passed had changed, but
was inclined to think that the money
which the Republicans were putting
into the campaign viii have its effect.
He did not mean by this he said, that
voters will be bought, but that the Re
pubIicans will get their literature more
largely circulated, will have more
speakers and will have more and bet
ter informed men at many places who
will be able to defeat the Democrats in
argument.
He said he noticed at the stations and
other places where there were groups

PERRY AGAINST BRYAN.
The Fort Scott Democrat for the Gold
Standard

A southern Kansas paper, in printing
list Of Kansas Democrats who were
standing by Bryan and the Chicago
platform, included the name of w c.
Perry, United States attorney for the
district of Kansas. This is an error.
Mr.. Perry neither subscribes to the
platform adopted at Chicago nor is he
supporting the nominees of that con
yentiOn. To a reporter he said:
i do not subscribe to the doctrine Of
free silver in any manner whatsoever.
Neither do I accept the platform adopt
ed at Chicago as a declaration of my
political principles. If there is any
thing which could make me lay down
my opposition to the doctrines prOmul-
gated al Chicago it would be loyalty to
the name Democratic, and what I might
conceive TO be my duty in a general
way, which is to sacrifice my personal
preferences and vote FOR the nominees
of my party. But wherever I have
turned for strength in the matter of
party fealty I have been confronted
with declarations from Mr.. Bryan
which urged me to bolt
What L mean is this: Mr.. Bryan
has himself been a bOlter and upon
more than one occasion has declared
that he would bolt his party if it's fin
anciaI declarations did not coincide
with his own beliefs He has erected a
standard of party fealty which would
seem to release every Democrat who
did not believe in free silver from any
sort of obligation to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket"

of men talking. arguing the silver ques-
ton in every instance, as a rule the
Republican was better informed and
could array his argument with more
effect, and when he got the best of his
Democratic antagonist ne was likely to
carry the crowd with him.
This he attributed to a large circu-
latiOn of literature and special work of
the Republicans, who were posting men
everywhere to be able. to argue the
question. Senator Bacon thought that
this was the only feature wherein the
Republicans were succeeding, and said
he had no doubt that all this would be
counteracted by the Democrats.
