In q conversation at Evans Brothers
Drug Store, on Wednesday evening of
this week, in the presence of the
members oftbat firm and of A. w.
Beck and number of others, Mr.. c.
s. Ritter. the fusion candidate for
county attorney, and the unquestiOned
leader of the free coinage forces in this
county, admitted in so many words
that "the election of Mr.. Bryan eOould
bring upon the country q panic" He
stated that in his opinion gold would
go to premium the moment the cleo
ton of Bryan was announced. The
duration of the panic would depend
on the action of Congress. IfCongress
acted promptly along the lines
that would be recommended by Mr..
Bryan, the panic might be brought to
an end. If it did not then the con-
ditiOn Ofuncertainty would last until
the next election. The only reason
Mr.. Ritter gave to excuse himself for
working for the success of a candidate
whose election would, in his own
opinion bring upon the country a
period of distress and panic, was that
when man was sick it was some
times necessary to give him medicine
that would make him worse before he
could become better. That may salts
fly Mr.. Ritter's conscience; but what
do the business men think of that sort
of craftsmanship? Has it been their
experience in the past that a panic
was good investment as a course of
medicine? And do the laboring men
of this town think that they would be
richer in four or five years from now
if the capital of the country is tied up
or scared into retirement for the next
year or two? Mr.. Ritter is undoubt-
eddy right in his conclusion that
Bryan's election would bring panic.
Mr.. Bryan has made the same ad-
mission himself. But is a panic what
we want? And have you heard any,
body, even a POpulist charging that
the election of Mckinley would create
q panic? On the contrary doesn't
every body know that the election of
Mckinley would at once restore con-
fidence, release the capital that is
now tied up by fear of Organism,

Rev. Jerry BOtkin, whose feet are
all twisted out of shape in his efforts
to stand on three platforms at the
same time,-he being the nominee of
the POpuIist, Democratic and Nation
al party for cOngressman-at-large.-
came TO hold a meeting In lola on
Monday afternoon, but there were so
few of the faithful out that the meet
ing was postponed until Tuesday
evening. At the latter time the G.
A. r. hall was comfortably filled
with an audience which listened re-
specially to an entirely harmless
speech. Mr.. BOtkin is a great relief
after the common run of POpulist
speakers in that he is neither vulgar
nor abusive. Here is AN accurate
analysis of his audience: Whole

were talking about how the "blamed

Another statement attributed to Mr..
Choguill is that the Republican plat
form declared for the use of gold as
the only money, and that if cKinley
were elected all kinds Of money would
be demOnetized except gold. And
then some fel lew with keen sense of
humOr Clipped in, Eyes, and they
will not coin any of that in pieces of
less than $780," The only difference
between these two men is that Cho-
gull knows better while the other
fellow probably doesn't.

The Commercial Club is in cores
pondence with a man who wants to
start brick yard here. He says we
have material for making brick, vitri-
fed brick, drain tile AMI sewer pipe,
and he is figuring on putting in a
plant that will give employment to
fifty to 100 men. But he says ne will
make no binding contracts until Nc
Kinley is elected. Isn't there a
pointer in that for the voters who
want lola to grow and prosper?
Toronto Republican: One of the
stock arguments of the popocrats is
that there is not enough money in the
country to do business, and, small as
the per capita circulation is, that
the people of the western states
have not their share. 6. 81. Lamb,
candidate for senator, in his speech
at Neal last Saturday, proved that
such statements regarding our. cir
culation are false, and he proved
it from pOpulist authority. He
wrote to John w. Breidenthal, state
bank commissioner, for a statement
Of the amount of money on de-
posit in the state banks of Allen
and Woodson counties, according to
official reports made last June. Mr..
Breidenthal answered that there was
on deposit in the state banks of
Allen county S215, 1851. and in
Woodson county, S126,954; add to
this the deposits in the rational

Justices, r. NJ. Purdom and H. W..

to be Democratic caucus, the same
candidates were named. 1t seems a
little funny to see one paper bearing
the sworn statement that man is a
Democrat, and another paper swear
ing that the same man is Populiat.

all along to be Repu blican.

bank at Humboldt, 1900, and
we find there wac q per capita de-
posit of money in the two counties
of $1T33. Should we fairly esti-
mate the cash on hand lin the pOck-
cts of the people and in the cash
drawers of stores) the fact is clearly
demonstrated that we have, at least,
our share of the circulation per cap
ita, which on June last was $31.35.
Mr.. Lamb, in his speech, submitted
additional evidence from the same
pOpulist authority regarding the de-
pOsits in the entire state. In the
souvenir book of Kansas, lately pub
Iished by Secretary of State Ed
wards, is an article by Mr.. Breid-
entbal on the banks of the state. In
that article MIR. Breidenthal says
the 116 national banks in Kansas
had on deposit. Feb. % last, $16,-
914, 666, and the 267 state banks aud
the III private banks had On deposit
5,522, 033. This gave the people of
Kansas money circulation, actually
deposited, of SO. 73, which would be
greatly augmented by the cash on
hand by individuals and firms for use
in their daily transactions. 1t seems
that we are not as badly impoverished
and pauperized as is made to appear.

COACHING.

The sound Of laughter gay
Then word to start Is passed.
And the tally-ho rolls away.
Out OF the city's street.
Far from the noisy throng,
Into tho country sweet.
II rumbles gayly along.
Over the cool green hills.
And down through the wooded dales,
Fragrant with daffodils.
And vocal with calling Quails.
Happy each youthful face.
Merry the mirthful wits
And. 10! in the footmans place,
Trumpeter Cupid sits!
