REPUBLICAN newspapers and indi-
viduals are now poking all sorts of fun
at Kansas, comparing her with AR
kaDsaw," Mexico, etc., and threaten to
leave the state. That's all right, gen
tlemen, If Kansas isn't big enough to
contain you pack your grips and get
out. Your room is more valuable than
your company. BY the way, who was
1T that was yelling, stand up for Kan
sas!' few years ago? Who is 1t that
is now bemeaning her in the most bit
ter terms? 1t is the same fellow who
was aching to stand up for Kansas only
few years since. a man who will
condemn his country because the peo-
pie refuse to allow a few fine haired
politicians run its machinery is too ig-
norant and too narrow contracted to
live in an enlightened state. The
quicker he goes to "Arkansaw'' or
Mexico the better it will be for the HUI
man race. Let him descend to the COM
partnership OF his intellectual peers.

MCKINLEY owes his election to the
votes of the most ignorant class of peo
pie in the United States. In the big
cities Mark Hanna had the unfortun.
ate victims of capital driven to the polls
and voted like beasts. They were told
what to do and they obeyed the man
dates of their masters. Wherever ig-
norance was most prevalent among the
people from thence came the largest
majorities for Mckinley. Wherever
education had the greatest hold and in
huence from thence came the greatest
majorities for Bryan. The West has
always been noted for it's superior in
telligence and nearly every state in that
division recorded its vote for the great
est statesman since Lincoln, William
Jennings Bryan. But truth and right
must prevail and four years more will
educate even the eastern people up to
the idea that self preservation is the
first law of nature.

TOO MUCH LAWLEssNEss.

SHARON. Nov. 9, 1896.
For some time past there has been
carried on in and about our burg good
deal of horse racing and other forms of
law-breaking on Sunday. Citizens who
believe IN law and order and a quiet
Sunday have for a long time been
thinking 1t should be stopped but were
slow about taxing any definite action
in the matter. But finally on last Sum
day citizens meeting was held at the
church to take steps for a more quiet
Sunday. The meeting was well attend
ed and free discussion of the matter
showed that all were IN favor of hay-
ing law breaking on Sunday stopped.
A committee of three good men, one of
whom is constable, was appointed to
carry out the wishes of the meeting.
They were instructed to notify vio-
lators once and if they then persist in
their lawlessness the committee will
have the guilty parties arrested and
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. The committee, or at least two
who were present. stand pledged TO do
this and believe they will do their
duty. We hope, however, that it will
not become necessary to arrest anyone,
but that single warning win be suffi-
cient. 10. HAHN.

AWFUL, BUT rzuEi

When we went to press last week ev-
erythiEg pointed toward the election of
VIM. J. Bryan. president of the United
States. But since that time the tide
has changed and we are confronted with
the awful fact thatMcKinley is elected.
With this calamity comes the election
of gold standardHoLs and it is almost
certain that the Senate will also haye
majority for Hanna and his crowd.
This means four years more of suffer
ing and oppression among the masses.
1t is said that we will have temporary
relief but even this IS doubtful. If all
iota of relief does come 1t will be very
brief and when the reaction sets in it
will be many more times as severe. AS
we look into the vista of future proba-
bilities an involuntary shudder creeps
over US. There can be no hope for the
American people under the present f.
nancial system. If a tariff measure
were passed every day between next
March and March 1900, no relief could
follow. You can manufacture and pro-
duce world without end but when there
is no buyer there is no prosperity. And
without buyer there Will be no manu-
Notwithstanding. We would hope that
the much promised prosperity under
McKinleyism would come If there were
ray of hope to be seen. We would be
glad to welcome it if it would come, but
it will not come.
If four years more of the British gold
standard does not educate the people OF
the nation sufficiently to throw off the
capitalistic yoke, then this Republic il
doomed. But we will hope and we con
idently believe that national indepen
dence will triumph In 1900.

NOTWITHSTANDING our boosted SUI
periority over Mexico in every respect,
it seems that she is able to borrow mon
ey on the national credit at a lower rate
of interest than we are. It's announc-
ed that our southern neighbOr has just
succeeded in funding her floating debt
with an issue of five per cent silver
bonds, which were all taken readily in
Europe. According to the prevailing
method of calculation five per cent sill
yer bonds are the equivalent of q per
cent gold bonds. Two and half per
cent is much below the rate at which
United States bonds were sold by Mr..
Cleveland and they are declared to be
payable in gold by the policy of the gov
ernment.-Topeka Journal.

GOVERNOR LEEDY's POLICY

Gov. Leedy In an interview with re-
porter for the Topeka State Journal
last Thursday is credited with the fol-
lowing language in regard to his policy
as governor of the state. It sounds
just right and we are confident that he
will make the best andmost satisfactory
governor the state has ever had:
Governor elect I4eedy came up to To-
peka in response to a message from the
state central committee. He went to
headquarters and was greeted by a
crowd. He made them short speech,
thanking them for their efforts in be-
half of the ticket.
After shaking hands all around and
talking with Chairman Breidenthal, j.
Mack Love, r. w. Turner, Webb Nc.
Nall and others, he went to the Nation
al hotel, where he stops when in town.
To Journal reporter he said:
81 think the people of Kansas have
rendered verdict on this silver ques-
ton by this election. The causes of our
success are: The people have examin-
ed into the Lewelling and Morrill, ad-
ministrations and have come to the
conclusion that as far as dollars and
cents are concerned, the first was as
good as the latter. have had many
republicans tell me they could see
through the way the present admins
tratlon manipulated figures, and that
they were satisfied that they were no
better than the last one.
Again, the people of this state are
in favor of silver. The rank and file of
the republican party are in favor of it.
They have been taught it by good re-
publican papers, such as the Kansas
City Journal, the State Journal and the
Capital, and when the party leaders tried
to turn them over to the other side they
considered that they had been sold out
and refused to be delivered.
There was quite disposition on the
part of the republicans at the begin
ming of the campaign TO voice their pro.
test by voting for Bryan and support
ing Morrill,. But the party leaders, in
stead of saying to to them that they
had better do this, applied such choice
epithets as regulators, anarchists, Ii.
ars, thieves and the like, and they sim.
ply would not stand it. Then again
these campaign lies that have circulat-
ed about me have helped me personally
"They have told that am Catholic
an A. 2. A, prchibitionist, drunkard
and every contradictory story thai
would prejudice people against me.
I'm several places they have stirred
the people up SO that they would come
out TO meetings just to see what such 6
mean man looked like and our speakers
got hold of them and they voted witt
US.
II can't say what my policy will be
l will have policy, though when tht
time comes for one. 1t will have for it,
object the welfare of Kansas and hel
| citizens.
1T will be all my own, and if it does
not succeed shall be prepared to stand
all the blame. will go into the office
without being bound by promises, and II
don't make a creditable administra
ton, it will be because I don't know
how"

OFFICIAL PAPER OF BARBER co.

WIN. J. BRYAN has refused an offer
of S25, 600 per year from a New York
law firm to practice law in that city.
Mr.. Bryan answers that his time for
the next four years will be devoted to
the cause of bimetaIllsm and education
of the people on that subject. Bryan is
a statesman and man of deep convic-
tions. lie is in the struggle for the sal
walton of his country and not for his in
dividual financial welfare. We firmly
believe that his labors will yet be
crowned with victory.
