CAPT. JOE'S FUN.
His Speech ON Silver at the Free Silver
Meeting Last Night.

| His speech Silver at the Free Silver
Meeting Last Night.
! When P. FL. Coney introduced Captain
Joe Waters at Albert Griffin's silver meet
ing last night, he said he was a man
| ''who had never boarded dollar or re
| fused assistance to q friend"
81 never could start at 10 o'clock al
night to make silver speech" said Mr..
| Waters. ''Some night / am going to take
| all night to it. 1t will be at the national
silver meeting at ST. Louis in July.
am going down there and / am going
with a speech fifteen minutes long that
can say backwards, and I am going 10
give it to 'em red hot from the shoulder
81 am Republican but first am for
free silver No such antiquated politi-
tician as George T. Anthony who is as
rock ribbed and fossillizsd as the gold
god he worships shall ever again make a
financial platform for me to stand on.
Nsver can he pumptime full of his polit-
ical virus and say to me Waters, you are
full of liberty
Il am for silver because it is our inter-
est TO be. l am Republican and l be-
lieve in protection, but what do we want
to yell for protection for clear out here
In Kansas where we haven't a factory
that is capable of making the woodwork
to jewsharp?
"If l was in congress I wouldn't fool
away my time with garden SeeQS and
postotfces, I'd endeavor to do something
for the people of the country. I'd say to
the Missourian who raises pawpaws, If
there is anything on Gods earth that
can do that will increase the demand for
pawpaws or raise the price of 'em for
Gods sake let ime know what it is and
I'll do it if l can.
"Aud still we cry for Mckinley and
protection in Kansas, where there isn't
smoke from furnace fire nor factory
chimney
"And I've got a crow to pick with
Lucien Baker, too For years 1 followed
him around in his political wanderings
because | had faith in him. But now
that he has got back east and mixed
with the big fellows of the east and been
dined and put his feet under the ma
hogany, he has gone square back on the
west.
81 am going to take hand in Kansas
politics this year. Not for office,
mind you. 1 don't want any
to take hand in politics just for the
devilment there is in it. If there is one
thing l regard as quite as good as get
ting next to the saving grace it is to
raise little - here in Kansas.
1.-THE trouble with us is, however, that
we have had too much politics. Why,
the only hourishing Industries there are
now days are those of railroad receivers
or holders of government positions"
There were 500 people present at the
meeting and some solid arguments were
made in favor of the white metal.

Lieutenant Harry A. Smith, now at BENZ
cha Barracks, Cal, has been transferred

G.. Cavanaugh of the Thirteenth infantry

cultural school at Manhattan and to rath-
or assist in looking after and improving
the state militia.
Lieutenant Smith used to live at Atch-

There is to be a general shaking up
of the Z. N. G. of Kansas and its eff
cheney will be increased thereby. Ad-
jutant General Fox says the affairs of
the state militia have been run very
loosely heretofore. When he went into
the Office there were $4,000 worth of
supplies most of them commissary that
ad not been accounted for. An almost
endless revision of reports has discover
ed them all.

A TRIBUTE.

In MEMORY of LEWIS pBERr Died Septembs
5th, 1896, aged IL years, 6 months and 25 days.
Our hearts sad aud dreary
And filed with grief to-day,
For one we loved SO dearly
The Lord has called away.
Yes. Little Lewis, must part
From you kind and mild,
1t grieves fathers and mothers heart
To lose their Oldest child.
Now to the Lord be honor given,
He ''doeth all things well -
Hes taken Lewis home to heaven,
With angels there to dwell.
Dear Lewis, God called him away,
On earth We ne'er will see him more,
If we faithful will meet him
There, where parting is no more.

The great advantage of free silver
lies in the fact that it will introduce
an era of expanding currency and
rising prices in place of the falling
market that has so long depressed us.
Although the immediate effect of free
silver may be to lessen the volume Of
the curreacy by driving our gold
away, yet very soon the influx of sil'
yer will more tn IN make good the
loss of the gold and the volume will
rapidly expand. The consequence
viii: be that prices will rise, commerce
and manufactures will be encouraged,
labor will be in demand, many who
are unemployed will get work, com
petition for employment will become
less severe, wages will rise. and, III
the end, workingmen will be benefited
as we'll as merchants and manufacture
ers.
Debtors who have been wronged by
the shrinkage Of prices will secure
at least partial justice and be able
to ply off their notes and mortgages
with something like fair equivalent

miles west and south to attend the

and Chester Long on that day.
The Tribune acknowledges that edi

iefunct republican Claflin Leader.
Good. This is one more thing we can
agree with the Tribune man upon.
A free silver democrat made a
drunken McKinleyite measure his
length on the floor, and free silver
republican threw another fellow in the
same condition out of saloon door,
at Ellinwood last Saturday.
During the balance of the campaign
we shall ask all parties sending com
dense as much as possible, as we have
not room for extra long articles.

most excellent newspaper ability. The
Leader is credit to the town.
