A REPUBLICAN paper at Topeka ad-
yises the members of its party to throw
away all factional feeling and personal
disappointment. Well, what else is
there to republicanism. To get at the
pie counter is the only hope republi-

The only way the republican party has
of keeping its followers in line is to
make theDi believe they will get some
thing III the sweet bye and bye.

THE Japs buy our silver at Sc cents

WE are now living under republican
laws. Should Mckinley be elected
president no different legislation would
be enacted. Why shouldn't we have
the same conditions now as we would
have then? There are no two men in
the United States who are nearer to-
gether on public questions than are
Grover Cleveland and Bill Mckinley.
An election of Mckinley can have nc
other meaning than perpetuation OF
present conditions.

Now comes The Medicine Lodge IN
DEX and asserts that T. A. McNeal, of
the Topeka Mail and Breeze, owes that
Office bill. Mr.. McNeal is one of the

been publicly dunned will undoubtedly
hasten to maintain his credit and that
ofKansas by promptly meeting the bill.
