REEDS ESTIMATE OF FARMERS.

That was humorous but forciple
allusion of Speaker Reeds to the Pop
ulists' interest in the farmers. He fall
ed to see. in his Wichita audience, 1.-THE
poor devil which adorns the orataons VI
the urprovided when they get to con-
gress." BE saw "men who had done
well but who ought to have done bet
ter" He satirizes the Pop speakers for
their effort to convince the farmers
that they are the salt of the earth, and
In so doing, have appointed themselves
wet nurses extraordinary for every
man who essays to sow or reap. Mr..
Reed goes direct to the motive of these
hypocritical advisers who, in their cow
ardly whine over imaginary wrongs
to the farmer are only putting n their
best word for their own advancement
IF the discounted, sore-headed FOp
sneaker is anything, he is trimmer.
II is easy enough to work on his hypo-
critical platitudes about the woes or
orr we'll TODD farmers, but the facts
sre that there is not an industrious
farmer in the Missouri valley whose
prospects are as dark. or whose Dusi-
ness is so run down at the heel as the
political prospects OF these same
speakers There is nothing in their pro
lesson of sympathy but the deliberate
ATTEMPT to deceive for the sake OF pat
ronase. They care for nothing but the
farmers vote. They presume upon ms
ignorance. and follow the presumption
BY enumerating abuses which the iar-
mer has never dreamed OF. But the
farmers in Mr. Reeds audience gave
evidence that they were not deceived.
The great statesman from the Pine
Tree state showed to his hearers that
he had measured the standard of their
intelligence by addressing them as
..men of sense" This goes further with
voters of that class than all the senu'
mental gush of all the Pop orators IN
the field. OF all men on these fertile
plains none are more competent 10

sense and sheer demagogy than the
farmers upon this plain proposition

AWAITING RETURNS.

Who is the merchant that withhoids
his order for goods until the result Of
the election is known?Who waits for
election returns before putting money
into real estate or staple supplies?
Who defers contracts for labor, and
makes it his business to reason with
the wage Garner upon the evil cOnse-
auences of irredeemable cheap money?
Is it the loauacious. itinerant Popocrat
who appoints himself to speak at the
ward meeting or the country school
house? Is it the persevering place
hunter who has wasted his life in seek

Is 1t the grown-up street gamln with

these, but it is the merchant who. by
safe business methods has acquired a

REED AND TIE BLIND MEN.

Populists are very strange birds.
They most frequently injure their own
cause ny their own narrowness.
We have just had with us some Of
the greatest orators Of the United
States and some Of the leading men Of
the New World. Thomas Brackett
Reed, it is generally assumed all over
the country, Is man Of some brains
and some ability. None Of the real
rabid Populists who heard him last
Saturday in Wichita appear to think SO
They don't see anything in Reed" In
their eyes he don't know much about
public questions after ALL" 1t Is their
repeated opinion that "he's mighty
small man mentally" and that Jerry
Simpson can beat him all hollow talk
ing"
These poor deluded creatures affect
to believe that Reed amounts to moth
ing at all in fact; that some madcap,
silly fortune has raised him to his pres
ent high place; that some good fairy

the whole Democratic party in con-
gress and gain from them the title of
"czar." These poor Populists have an
idea that all the congressman In the
United States merely through idiocy Sc
leeted Reed as speaker; because, in fact
no other congressman wanted the place
and they gave it to Tom because he
was a harmless sort Of fellow.
These Populists do not allow them
selves to know that Reed is the peer of
all congressman; that his selection as
speaker is in recognition Of that fact;
that he is debater that few men dare
meet; that he classes as thinker and a
talker, and as An executive giant away
above the average of political man.
kind; that as a parliamentarian and a
director Of legislative bodies he is with
out an equal on the globe.
No Populist can see this II he is will
fully blind to it and it Is the choice and
desire of their leaders that they will
not see.

1.ooK OUT FOR THE FAKE.

The Popocrats will never get over
Archbishop Ireland's letter. They nave
utterly failed TO counterfeit It's sleoge-
hammer effect. The first effort to sink
its truths out of sight and render II nun
was to send out bogus dispatch an
nor,ncing that the Pope was much as
nIeased with its enunciations and that
he had reprimanded the venerable
prelate. But that claim was soon ex-
ploded. Now 1T is learned that The
BRYAN managers are maturing a
scheme which is to be sprung this
week, or ON Monday next, which 1t Is
expected will knock out the effect OF
the patriotic declaration Of Archbishop
Ireland. 1t is practically another
letter plot and is expected to turn many
Catholics who are for sound money
and Mckinley. The charge VIII De
made in a specific form and supported
by proofs apparently genuine, but real
IL false and forged. As in the case OF
the Morey letter. an attempt may be
made to forge the very handwriting
and signature Of Mckinley himself.
The charge will be so direct and the
evidence apparently so convincing as
to REQUIRE immediate refutation and
perhaps counter-afidavits, arrange
mepts will be made TO furnish Bryan
with an advance copy of the charge
and specifications, and he will use
ther, as effectively as possible In the
closing speeches Of his campaign
which will be made in large cities.
The Indianapolis Journal was the
first paper to get wind of the arrange
ment. and It's information seems 10 De
unouestioned. Whether this plan Will
he carried out the Eagle cannot say
but the warning will do no harm. Inc
Journal declares that its information Is
positiye and reliable. The exact form
of the charge, the pretended proofs
and the manner of bringing them out
are not within the knowledge OF the
Journal, but the main fact Is beyond
question. That it should have been de-
cided upon at all, or even considered. Is
evidence Of the desperation of the Bry-
an managers, and if carried out, it VIII
be a fitting elimination of a campaign
of falsehoods. fakes and forgeries.
