The Total Registration of Jefferson County Is 17,912-How the Vote Is Divided as
 to Color

All of the beats of Jefferson county have filed their registration books with the county registrar and the figures giv- en below show how the vote stands as between the white and colored in the county. The registration of 1894 was about 1S,0 GOO and the vote cast about 5000. As Jefferson county is to be made the battle-ground, it is safe to estimate the vote in August at or above 15,000 and of this number the democrats will poll not less than 5000. The following are the registration figures by beats and by color.

Yet hopes escape from jealousy and spite
Twin foes that fan his glory's growth would

In honeyed words and hypocIitic lies.

TO UNITE ALL FORCES.

Topeka, KAs., Dec. o.--The Democrats,
Populists and Republicans of Kansas think
alike about the questions which agitate the
zations. Governoi-clect John w. Lcecy wants
them to unite in one great party and under one
name.
"When the Populist party begcn its clreer,"
Mr.. Leedy said in a conversation with The
Times correspondent ''it was customary for
people TO make inquiry REGARDING thc former
politics of those who were brougII, forward as
leaders of the new movement remember
that at our early conventions when a candidate
would be placed in nomination for Office dele
gates would ask rs he Democrat or Il Repub-
lican?'
now. No Popurst cares about the former pol
itics of any other Populist. p,pniSis ale
fighting for certain principles, and tie party
names and prejudices OF the past are as nothing.
This is as it should be.
"Fighting shoulder to shonld,r with us in
the contest are the Democrats and silver Re
publicans. We are different only in name. In
the late campaign it often occurred thai three
men would stand up in the same meeting and
speak for the cause of humanity, vet one would
be classed as Democrat, another a5 a Populist
and the third as silver Republican.
"I want to see these factions united. If
those who fought i'll the ranks OF the allied sill
yer forces this fall would organize into one
great party, under one name and one banner,
Kansas would never again 90 back into the Re-
publican column
81 shall do all i'll my power TO bring about
such a union of forces In the exercise of the
appointing power of governor shall treat
Democrat, Popnlist and silver Republican APP
plicants for Office as if they !onged to one
party.
"In this respect | think | voice the sent-
ments of those who will be my associates in the
incoming administration.
"Have you thought over plan for tie union
of the silver forces % was asked
'No. That is matter for the leaders of
the different parties to decide.'
"When do you think the union ought to he
effected ~
"The sooner the better. The work OF get
ting together ought to be commenced at once"
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1896-12-11

This kind of policy was agreed upon at
conference Of the newly elected state officers
i'll .his citv shortly after the election. Mr..
Leedy was the first to put it into effect. The
first appointment he made was that Of silver
Republcan--Mr. Littlc-to be his private sec
retary.
There are two clerkships in the Governors
office to be filed They are the positions now
held by Prof Hill and Charles Hull. Mr..
Lecdy has not yet announced the appointments,
but it is said that one of the places will go to
Democrat, the other to a Populst Mr.. Leedy
has appointed his niece-Miss Hayes, of Kan
sas City-to be his stenographer, but there
isn't any politics in that
Attorney -Genaral-elcct l.. c. Boyle has three
appoints to make. His views regarding the
proposed union of forces are similar to those
expressed by Mr.. Lecdy. 1t is generally be-
lieved, therefore, that he will name Demo-
crat, Populist and 4 silver Republican for the
positions.
A Topeka Democrat, who is personal friend
of Mr. Boyle, says that Rankin Mason, the
present assistant United States attorney under
Mr.. Perry, likely will be selected to be assistant
attorney general. 1t is known that Mr.. Boyle
is great admirer of Mason. Notwithstanding
Masons connection with the Cleveland admin
istration, he has all along been all enthusiastic
advocate of free coinage
Messrs. Bush, HeAebower, Morris and Striker,
who have appointments to make, announce
that applications of Democratic aud silver Re-
publicans will be given the same consideration
as those of Populists
1t this policy be carried out, it is believed
that the fusion leaders will have no trouble in
arranging a union of forces in time for the
two years hence.-K. c. Times.

THOSE Eastern papers that are bowling so
much about Kansas, and are constantly abusing
and slandering her people, certainly neglect
their duty towards those poor orphans and
waits that are being gathered up on the streets
of Eastern cities and shipped into Kansas vii
lagos and distributed on Kansas farms. If
Karsas people are so ignorant, so devoid of all
principles of honesty, fairness and decency as
those Eastern newspapers are trying to picture
them, it seems to us they ought to try their ut
most to keep those waits in the East and feed,
clothe and educate them, where they first saw
the light of day. Why don't they? Don't
their very actions belly their words? Talk
about sectionalism! Talk about preiudicing
one class OF people against another! If these
bowling drrvishcs Of The Eastern press don't
quit their abuse OF Western people, they will
get dose of ''sectionasm' that will make
them sicker than they are now,-Le Roy Re-

THE COLONEL'S DREAM.

The Infdel sat in his easy chair
And lazily puffed his cigar.
For the Christians God what do care,
Or what do they care-ah, ha!
For manhood's bought and manhood's sold
And lawyer must feather his purse,
And it pays me we'll to argue for gold,
Though the nations have found it curse
If ministers worship the golden calf,
Why shouldn't worship it, too?
And doesn't it make the Devil laugh
TO see them kneel to the lew?
For the poor of the land they humbly pray,
But stand in fear of the rich.
Sure, both of us look out for our pay
And which is the sinnel-which?
And God is good to us both, you see,
In giving the rule of gold
Gold for them and gold for me,
Though our children to Jews are sold.
No more to me will the Christian fling
The name of Infdel.
No more shall we hear of Lazarus saved,
And the rich man sent to hell.
For Hanna shall sit at the head of the board,
And Morgan, and Pullman, too.
Here's to the men that thriftily hoard!
Here's to the saving Jew!
Just then spirit rose to his eyes
A victim of Pullman's strike.
"The Christians God you boldly despise;
His faith you do not like
"But God will free the slaves of to-day,
AS he freed them long ago,
When they fled from Egypts toll away,
And the cruel Pharaoh.
"The mighty from their seats shall lalh
While they of low degree
Shall come at last at the peoples call
Ane set the captives free.
ooh, little you know the Christians faith,
And little knows the priest
1t is not justice after death,
But sees Christ in the least,
"And prays for Heaven here on earth
Prays, and expects it, too,
And sees in each new reform the birth
OF Savior, good and true"

COAL TRUST TO SQUEEZE,
PicrpOmt Morgan Say. when II Gets Colder
Coal Will Go Up.

NEW YORK, Dec 4.-Every person who has
bought coal within the last few weeks has
found that the dealers are charging nearly 81
ton more than they did year ago. This IS
one of the results of the coal mining railroads
which was engineered by J. Pierpont Morgan
soon after he began the reorganization OF the
of the broken down Reading railroad.
Out of the deal which went through last
spring, and which now is carried into effect,
Mr.. Morgan and his friends will get little
more than $50, 900 900. OF course the Reading
road will not pay mis-. The persons who
compelled to pay dollar more ton for
their coal will pay it.
The poor who can only afford a pltul at
time, and those who bus i'll twenty-ton los,
alike pay this tribute to Mr.. Morgan and his
coal trust.
1t was understood recently that the trust in
tended to add IS cents to the cost OF coal to-day,
but it was reported ycs'crday that Morgan had
determined to wait until cold weather made
the demand greater.
Then the squeezing of the freezing will begin

THE LIQUOR TRADE IN POLITICS.
Republicans Buy stock In Whisky Paper.

The Washington Sentinel relates the fate of
the Wine and Spirit Gazette, of New York.
Several years ago. it made the mistake of sup
porting the Republican ticket, in that fateful
year when Warner Miller "fel outside the
breastworks." F." The consideration was $4,000.
This sum was taken in the stock of the COM
pany by the Republican state committee, New
York 1t is, as our friend Shylock says, "a
good round sum- But subscriptions and adj
vcrtsements fell off, and the paper went to the
wall. The Sentinel seems to think that the
moral of the story is that all liquor papers
should eschew politics.
The Champion thinks the moral is that a
liquor trade paper should keep clear of partisan
politics. The Champion holds that
the personal character of candidates is the true
test When men who stand for Office are of
known liberal principles, they are worthy of
support by the liberal electorate. If they are
cranks, or are of doubtful stamina or anteced-
ents, mark them for defeat The liquor trade

ical party kite.-Champion of Freedom and

The Postal Telegraph Company isl coming to Little Rock and it is evidently coming in strong. Yes terday afternoon it filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State, and while the amount of the capital stock was named as $1, GOO, right was reserved to increase the amount to $1, 100000.
 Judging from the articles of in corporation, the first line is to be constructed from Little Rock to Benton, and afterwards the system is to be extended throughout the State.
 The articles of incorporation re- cite that the new eompany's place of business is to be located at Little Rock, and ifs office for the trans action of its business shall be in Little Rock, or at such other places as the board of directors may select. The general nature of the business proposed to be transacted by the company is that of telegraphy.
 The general route of the line will be from Little Rock to Benton and from Benton to other towns and villages in the Stale of Arkansas, along all railroads, bridges, streets and highways.
 The amount of capital stock of said corporation is one thousand dollars, of which the whole amount has been subscribed by the eorpo- rators, aforesaid, with the right to increase the same to one million dollars, by adding thereto 9,990 shares of par value of one hundred dollars. The capital stock is divi- ded into ten shares of $lO0 each.

Prof. J. E. Demotte.

Character Building" was the subject of an interesting lecture at Merrill Institute last night by Prof. ]. D. DeMotte, of Harvard Univer- sity. By means of steropticon Prof. DeMotte threw various pictures upon the wall which explained the lecture and made it much more interesting. He showed that most of the acts of ones life were committed involuntarily and by direction of the different nerve eenters, which centers were enlarged by being repeatedly used, and their mastery fastened upon our actions. Thus it is that habit con trols our lives, often subjecting the will. Repeated commission of trival crimes familiarizes the nerves and brain cells controlling such action and results finally in sub iecting the will to their influence, thereby leading one to commit crimes unawares. Prof. DeMotte also showed upon the wall the different vibrations of the air particles which produce the different sounds, and it was a revelation to all those present. The Professor gives another one of his interesting lectures this evening, and everyone should hear him.
