A Discussion About DR.. Kirkpatrick'a
Visit to Russell County
DR.. Kirkpatrick writes from Color

DR.. Kirkpatrick writes from Colorado
in regard to his expense account for
the trip recently taken by him to Rus
sell during the recent diphtheria cpl
demic:
I am not aware that I had present
ed a bill of expenses for that visit.
Whenever I present an itemized quar-
terly expense account to the board, and
it is audited and endorsed as a part Of
the proceedings of the board, I have no
fears but that it will be paid. the at
torney generals decision to the contra
ry notwithstanding.
I can point to bills of like nature
that have already been paid, since Ger
tain decisions have been given, so
have no fears that a bill that was in
CURED for the best interests of the peo-
pie of Russell, that every humane per
son in Kansas will say is but just and
right, will be paid I assure you that
I shall call attention to these bills when
I return"

According to the New Mexican's infor-
nation, the best advised republican au-
thorities in the Territory virtually con.
cede a democratic majority In the council
and only claim a tie In the holse, but, In
the light of the ~facts,it is believed that The
house as we'll as the council will be demo
cratic. In the absence OIL properly anthem
ticated certificates of election, however, 1t
is impossible to give the names of those
composing the W houses with absolute
cetainty.
The thirty second legislative assembly
will meet Ia the city OF Santa Fe, on the
third Monday in January, not on the first
or second Monday, as some of the Terri
torial papers persist in publishing, and the
assembly will continue in session for the
full period of sixty days, or until March
18th, 1897.

A telegram from Denver says that one OF
the plans considered by vice-President
Paul Morton, Of tho Atchison railroad,
during his recent visit to Colorado, was
the removal of the railroad shops from

least 5000 a month will be saved by
having the shops on the north side OF
the Ration mountain; So. 900 a month means
SOC, 900 q year, and is an item Of considera.

SHOULD THE North and the West
unite as they did thirty-one years ago,
against the South, and support the
force bill, high tariff, anti income tax,
civil service law, State bank tax and all
other.republican measures, the Southern
States are perfectly safe for the demo
cratic ticket, and are SO considered by
all intelligent people even in the North
familiar with the true condition OF
Southern affairs. Therefore railroads
having business in the South are any
thing else than wise in their conspicu-
Gus opposition to the democratic ticket,
for Southern people are human, and
the men they elect to their State legls'
latures are fair representatives OF their
constituents. So far, at least, such leg
islatures have it in their power to enact
anti-railroad legislation, and certainly
thew will not be deferred from doing
so by the interference of railroad com
panies in the political affairs of theil
States.

BRYAN in North Carolina

CHARLOTTE, n. c., Sept. 17.-Halt
past eight this morning was the early
hour set by William ]. Bryan in com
plying with the request Of his Charlotte
supporters to make speech here. The
special train furnished Mr.. Bryan by
the North Carolina State reception
committee arrived from Asheville at a
late hour last night and was sidetrack-
ed while the candidate slept. AtSa. N.
Mr.. Bryan left the train and under es-
cort of the local Knight of Pythias, the
Hornet Nest Rifiemen, and numerous
horsemen, proceeded to the post Office
park where he addressed several thou
sand people at $50.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan said among
other things that the republican party
has been legislating to make a dollar
dearer and then deny that legislation
has anything to do with the dollar. l
want this morning, in the very short
time can keep your attention, to call
it to the conditions in the volume OF
our money. Now want to assert at
first, as proposition that cannot be
disposed of, that the money of the coun-
try must keep pace with the popula-
ton OF the country and with the indus
tries of the country, and that unless
the money does so we shall find that a
dollar rises in value all the time. Now
when dollar rises in value it simply
means that prices will fall, and falling
prices are an injury to the men who
Drodpoo tba 1poeltb of this country and
when the products of their toll buy
money, falling prices are good for the
man who has and wishes to use that
money to buy the things falling in price.
What provision does the republican
party make for the supply of the money
that you need? None whatever. 7
am not surprised that even men who
have been republicans all their lives are
now in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer.
At Concord, Salisbury and Green's
boro Mr., Bryan was greeted by thou
