As permanent institution, and To es-
tablish themselves as a "Southern aris-
tocracy,' they deluged this nation
with iraternal blood, sacrificed the
lives of over million of the nohlest
and bravest fathers, sons and brothers
Of the land. ltmatters not under which
flag they fell the responsibility of their
lost lives rests with those whose amhi-
tions brough on that fearful struggle.
We are confronted with a similar
effort today. A certain class of ;,oliti-
clans are busy arraying one section of
the country against another, the west
and the south against the east. How
much of their clamor is due to their
ambition is n subject for thoughtful
men and women to consider. As has
been shown. the most proSpe. Gus and
progressive times this nation has ever
known have occurred since silver was
demonetized. Ask yourself, "Did this
clanIor for the reconciliation of silver,
which is arraying father against sou
neighborhOod against neighborhood,
section against section, originally come
from the people, or the politician, did
1t not originate with the ambitions Of
the would-be senators Of the state of
Nevada: Is ii not true that when the
Comstock began no longer to yield it's
dividends the property of Virginia City
IN consequence began to deteriorate in
value: that then, aEd not until then,
was the first clamor raised for the res
monetization of silver. When there
wa. period of depression in Colorado,
the politicians Of that state took up the
cry, and rs Montana, Idaho and Wash
!ngton IN turn were admitted, each
having silver mines, they Joined with
their neightoring states in the interest
OF free coinage, hoping thereby to at
least benefit their own constituents.
Is il not true that when the Demo-
Gratis came INTO power, they assaied
every industry of the west: Is it not
true that Mr.. Bryan was member OF
the ways and means committee of the
house which reported favorabIy the So
called Wilson bill: Is it not true that
when the hill was reported, lead was
placed upon the free list, and almost
every other product of your state and
the state of Idaho: l. it not true that
MIR. Bryan made n forciblc speech in
favor of free lead, free wool~-tree every
thing which we have: l. it not true
that we owe il to the Republicans in
! the senate that we secured the three
fourths " a cent protection which lead
now enjoys:
Then, II these facts bc true, pleas.
explain t" your readers how we may
hope for revival Of our industries and
all advance IN the prices Of what we
produce 10y the election of Mr. Bryan
rs president.

Frakes had better standing with the
department than Reynolds, but that
passed when he joined hands with the
free silverites and Reynolds took the
other horn. Colonel Reynolds was
appointed receiver of the Wa-Keeney
land Office at the same time FrakeS
was mined as register. They loved
each other so dearly that the same
building could not hold both. 1t soon
simmered down to a question as to
had the biggest ''pull." Frakes won
out and Colonel Reynolds walked the
plank. Now the colonel sees a fine
opportunity to get even. He has filed
written charges with the department
against his old enemy, and Frakes has
been notified to show cause why he
should not be discharged. His visit
here to-day is for the purpose of get
ting some of the administration dem
ocrats to intercede in his behalf.

Big Boom in Mining Lands Along the Sa-
lire River-Genuine Search for the Min
erals in Russell and Ellis County.-For
Coal and Zinc Thought to Be There-Im-
proved Machinery-At a Consideration
OF 100000 Sites Have Been Secured.
From the Topeka Journal.
Messrs f. NJ. Smith, Theodore
Stegner and 3. II. Chapman, of Kan
sas City, who are financial agents and
promoters and handlers of all classes
of listed and unlisted securities, have
just made a large number of mineral
leases on land along the Saline river
in this county, says the Russell Jour-
nal.
They are handling eastern capital
which is seeking Investment for the
purpose of developing the mineral re-
sources of this part of Kansas. They
have been doing considerable pros
Decting ana have come to the conclu-
sion that minerals exist here in kinds
and quantities that will justify the
performance of development work.
1t is their intention to bring machin-
cry into the county and to ascertain
in a practical manner how rich the
minerals actually are. 1t has not yet
been stated when work will be COM
menced.
A few persons have refused to lease
their land, claiming that the terms
were unsatisfactory, but sufficient
leases have been secured along the
Saline bluffs, which is the only land
desired, to permit the promoters to
test the richness of the minerals
which exist there, and if successful to
StabliSh d new and Important indus
try in Russell county.
The gentlemen have been looking
over the eastern end of the county
this week.
A number of leases have also been
secured in Ellis county, according to
the following from the Hays City Free
Press:
another new mining deal has
struck Ellis county. PrOSpectOrS for
coal and zinc are now making mineral
leases on many of the Saline farms,
from Fairport to the Barnes ranch,
which gives them the right to pros
pect for minerals they to give a GER
tain per cent as rent of all minerals
found, if they are found worth dig
ging for. They claim that within so
days they will be in there with ma
chinery filling that section with holes
to see what is under the surface. 1t
is remembered that sulphur and coal
indications were found out there by
Pennsylvania prOSpectOrS years ago."
MeSSrS. Stegner and Chapman, who
have visited Russell several times re-
Gently, have just bought $4,000 acres
of Union Pacific land in Kansas, the
consideration being nearly $500, 900.
1t is said most of the land is for farms,
but evidently good deal of it has
been purchased for its mineral wealth
