Referring to the rumor that the presi-
dent OF the South African Republic has
asked President Cleveland for the moral
support OF this great republic against
Great Britain. the Inter Ocean hands
over the sympathies Of the people Of the
action In the matter, to all republics
throughout the world which are making
an effort to resist the intervention Of
monarchical powers and then adds:
The United States rejoices that the
South African Republic has expelled the
British invaders. 1t r%ejoices not because
it is unfriendly with Great Britain but
because it is concerned in the mainten-
ance and spread Of the republican idea.
The United States is glad that the re-
publican cause in Africa is under guild
ance of shrewd heads and under protec-
ton Of strong arms and brave hearts,
The trouble with the Inter Ocean in
this attitude is that it does not dlscrim-
-inate closely enough. 1t is giving way
to prejudices one hundred years old and
then makes a wrong application Of the
prejudice. 1t takes for granted that be-
cause the British people have a mon
archical head they are not democratic in
government when in fact the will OF the
British people is better expressed in
their government than that Of the peo-
pie of the United States is in theirs.
Here the people get an opportunity to
express their will once in four years and
no o~ftener. and not always then by
reason Of the multiplicity Of questions
neutri.lizrng the influence of each other.
There the government stands or falls on
a single issue Of the people, at IA time.
and frequently several times in four
years. But even then the British gov
III has disclaimed any Interference
10 the affairs OF the South African Re
public. The issue there WAS the desire
OF the residents Of johann esburg to have
a voice in their own government. They
are being heavily taxed and have no re-
presentation. They demand the latter,
the very thing for which our forefathers
fought and out Of which grew the pre-
judice upon which the Inter Ocean now
stands. Nay, more than that. The I'M
polling cause of DR.. Jamieson's INVASION
to assist his countrymen In securing the
republican rights the Inter Ocean SO
strenuously advocates, is alleged to have
been further prompted by a movement
to unite in q grand republic, indepen,
dent Of Great Britain, all the colonies
and republics OF South Africa. The
Inter Ocean should not show such great
heat without first manifestlng greater
discrimination.

Ireasurer upton,s Request.

Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, as treas
urer, has sent out her annual letter, re-
minding tho members of the N. A. W.
S. A. that their contributions are now
due. Accompanying this letter, Mrs.
Upton has sent out a printed slip which
reads as follows: "Do you not know

vancement who may not care to take an
active part in local, state or national
work, and yet who could become q mem

you asked her personally or sent her the

member? Will not every member act on
this suggestion?"

The war situation Is Kaleidoscope.
England is likely to open negotiations
again with Venezuela direct; the Ger.
man Emperor has drawn in his horns
aud admits he was overlhasty. His sub,
jects In johannesburg have notified him
to mind his own business. The United
states has asked the British government
to use its good offices in protecting
American citizens in Johannesburg
which it is going to do; and now the
new British fleet is said to be destined
for Constantinople to bring the Turk t.
time, with France to help her on waite,
and Russia on land. The irritable Ger
man empire is left out in the cold. Al
this reads very nicely, but what 0
tomorrow?

THE SCHEME OF MR.. JONES.

Anxious to Serve the Cause of silver in
Connection with the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-It is under
stood about the senate that Senator
Jones of Nevada is quite as anxious to
serve the cause of silver in connection
with the tarill bill as he is to promote
the sugar interest. Many Of the silver
men are Of the opinion that the plan
Of the anti silver Republicans is to get
the house tariff bill through both houses
and have it sent to the president. by
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-01-14

whom they think it will be vetoed.
This would raise the tariff question and
have a tendency to make it the sole
issue in the approaching campaign.
The silver Republicans suspect that this
is the wish Of their anti-silver col
leagues, and some of the former class
are determined to, if possible, prevent
the contamination of this scheme. They
think this can be done by putting a
Free Coinage Amendment
on the tariff bill, and it is altogether
probable that an effort will be made in
that direction. 1t Is considered more
than probable that Senator Jones would
cooperate heartily with his Republican
silver friends in this direction. He is
acting as a Populist and it is remem'
bered in this connection that the Popu'
lists, in their caucus a few weeks
since, declared for the silver amend.
ment in the tariff as we'll as on the
bond bill. 1t is also considered good
tactics in the fight for the silver substi.
tute bond bill to hold the tariff bill il
suspense for the present.

OBITUARY.

Died: Wednesday, January 22nd,
1896, at the home of her son, Alonzo
Clark, west of lola, Mrs. Margaret
Clark, in the S1st year of her age.
Margaret Camerrer Clark was born
near Lancaster, Ohio, in 1915. When
quite a young girl her parents emil
grated to Edgar county, Ill.,, where
she grew to womanhood and where
she was married in 1881 to J. G.
Clark. Ia 1857 the family came to
Kansas, settling on a farm three miles
north west of lola, where they lived
until the death of Mr.. Clark some 8
years ago. Mrs. Clark was the
mother of eleven children, seven of
whom are still living, Mrs. J. r.
Young, Mrs. ALT. Richardson, and
Alonzo Clark in lola, James Clark in
LOngtOn, Kansas, Grant Clark in OF
tumwa, Iowa, Joseph Clark in Fair
haven, Washington, and Mrs. Mag
gle Mcdonald in Dallas, Texas. In
the name of ali of these we are asked
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1896-01-31

to return sincere thanks to the neigh
bors and friends for great kindness
shown during the last illness and af-
ter the death of the departed one.
Mrs. Clark was a member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church,
and died in that faith. She was a
woman of great of character, tireless
in devotion to her family, generous
and hOspitable in disposition, and for
her many admirable qualities greatly
beloved by all who knew her.
Her last illness was very brief. She
had been suffering somewhat with
cold, but only on the Monday before
her death was her condition thought
to be at all serious. The cold had
developed into pneumonia and in
spite of the utmost skill and the most
tender care the patient grew steadily
worse until Wednesday noon, when
the end came.
The funera! services were held on
Thursday at the sons residence. Rev.
Croker officiating, and the remains
were laid to rest in the lola cemetary.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
1t will be held Wednesday, Feb. l2tb,
and every Farmer in the county ought
to make it point to attend.

AT the call of Chairman Pearson the
committee appointed to select time
and arrange program for the next
Farmers Institute met in the REGIS
TER office last Saturday and after due
consideration fixed upon Wednesday,
February II, as the date for holding
the Institute, and decided upon the
following program:
Called to order
Adoption of plan of work and election of
officers.
Address, -"Sub-soiling." by C ]. Norton.
Address, -"Kafir Corn" by L. B. Pearson.
Address, Diversified Farming" by Hon. E
Address, THE Hog Business" by J. T.
Treadway.
Miscellaneous business.
In addition to the foregoing it is ex-
pected that there will be an address
by some member of the Faculty of the
State Agricultural College at Man
haitian, or by some other distinguish
ed visitor.
1t is the expectation and urgent
request of the members of the COM
mittee that every topic be freely and
generally discussed by all present,
the addresses or papers being intend
ed not to finish subject but to begin
it.
The REGISTER joins the committee
in the hope that there will be large
attendance, as the meeting cannot fail
to be of great benefit to every stock
man, hOrticultuist and farmer. The
meeting will be called to order at 10
O'Clock, at the court house, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, and it is
hoped that all who come will endea-
vOr to attend both morning and after
noon sessions.

POLITICAL POSSIBILITIES.

The fact that the National conven-
tions are to be held so early has start
ed the fires earlier than usual under
the local pots and kettles and things
so that there is already good deal of
simmering. The principal county
officers to be elected next fall ale the
Clerk of the district court, probate
judge, county attorney, supeerintend-
ent of public instruction and repre-
sentative. Ofthe present incumbents
of these offices, Mr.. Smith as probate
judge, and Mr.. Dewitt as represen-
alive, are serving their first terms,
and so far as yet appears they will
have no opposition. Mr.. Bennett is
also serving his first term as county
attorney, but will not be so fortunate
as his colleagues as there is talk that
George Amos, of Humboldt, and pos.
sibly one of the Cards, will con-
test the nomination with him. We
understand that superintendent
Jones has given his friends to under
stand that, agreeable to precedent in
his office, he will not be a candidate
for third term, and those mentioned
as contestants for the place are G. w.
Smith, of Deer Creek, Grant Billie,
of lola, j. Q. Roberts, of Elm, and
possibly S. F. Whitlow, OfMarmaton.
The precedent in the District Clerks
office is rather in favor of as many
terms as the incumbent wanted, and
Mr.. Travis has not yet made up his
mind whether he will ask for a re-
nomination or not. In any event the
names of H. M. Miller, and c. L.
Whitaker, both of lola, will probably
go before the convention.
Other names may be under con-
sideration for some of these offices but
those given are the only ones that
have come to our ears. We mention
them at this time in order that the
voters may begin to look up their
pedigree and to warn others citi-
zens who may be contemplating sail
on the "vitriol sea-" that 1t is about
time they are getting their boat in
order and under way.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
AN EXPERIMENTAL ROCKPILE.

AS noted last week, the county
commissioners are contemplating pro-
viding a rock pile as authorized by
law, for the employment of prisoners
confined in the county Jail in default
of payment of fines and costs. The
REGISTER would like to see the eX-
pertinent tried. In our judgement it
would have two or three beneficial
results. In the first place it would
tend to discourage the tramp who
commits a small misdemeanor at the
beginning of winter for the avOwed
purpose of being housed and fed at
the public expense during the rold
months. One of this kind was heard
to say while at Garnett, II believe l
will go down and get into Jail at lola.
They have natural gas down there,
and l have heard that the sheriff
feeds the boys pretty we'll" In the
second place it would result in col
lecting a great deal of money that
is now lost to the county. In numer-
GUS cases men who might have raised
the money to pay their fine have re-
fused to do so and gone tOjail knowing
that after a month or two the COM
missioners would let them out rather
than, have the county put TO farther
expense. But these same men would
have got the money in hurry rather
than have gone to work on the rock
pile.
In the third place We think that a
good many small crimes would never
be committed at all ifthose who contem-
plated them had the rock pile in view.
There are plenty of people who care
but little for few days or a month
in Jail, who would think several times
before running the risk of being sent
to the rock pile.
For these and other reasons that
might be given we should like to see
the experiment tried. The Commits
sioners seem to be hesitating chiefly
because they do not know whether a
market could be found for the broken
rock. 1t seems to US that considera-
tiOn should not be given too much

THE HUMBOLDT BANK CLOSED

The announcement was received in
lola with much regret on last Mon
day morning that the First National
Bank of Humboldt had closed it's
doors. AT the time of this writing
the causes of the failure are chiefly a
matter of speculation. 1t has been
known for sometime that a number of
those who had been its heaviest de-
positOrs had recently withdrawn
their deposits and placed them in lola
banks, and it is understood that last
week there was quite heavy run on
the bank, caused doubtless by a feel
ing that the bank was not entirely
sound. These withdra walls, together
with slow collections, furnish the
most obvious reason for the closed
doors.
The bank is now in the hands of
the United States authorities, and a
receiver will be appointed to wind Up
its affairs. The last published state
ment of the bank showed assets to the
amount of more than double the liza
bilities, and unless it should appear
that very large proportion of these
are worthless there seems no doubt
that the depositOrs willbe paid in full.
We are told that there is very little
uneasiness at Humboldt, the feeling
being general that every body will get
his money.

GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
The Best Way To Get There is Over The
Santa Fe Route

The fabulously rich gold mining
district of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is
attracting hundreds of people. By
spring the rush bids fair to be enOr-
nous. That there is an abundance of
gold there is demonstrated beyond
doubt. Fortunes are being rapidly
made.
To reach Cripple Creek, take the
Santa Fe Route, the only standard
gauge line direct TO the camp.
Through Pullman sleepers and chair
cars. The Santa Fe lands you right
in the heart of Cripple Creek.

weight. Of course it is desirable that
the rock should be sold, and we have
no doubt it can be, first or last. But
in our judgment the investment
would be paying one for the county
if it never sold load of the stone. AT
any rate it would not cost much to
try the experiment for six mouths or
year,
