THE Pratt Union, one of the editors
of which Is Judge w. 0. Bashore, con-
tanned the following complimentary
editorial reference to Judge Geo. w.
Mckay last week:
Judge Mckay concluded his March
term of court, at this place, on last
Saturday, giving general satisfaction.
The Judge makes warm friends among
our citizens on each returning visit,
many of whom are really beginning to
admire him as quite gentleman and
as an honest and upright judge. If we
had a sufficient number of McKavs
the toiling masses would not feel, as
now, that they were entering upon a
night illumined by no star OF hope, or
embarking upon an ocean whose fur
ther shores no mariner may ever find. -

CLEVELAND ENDORSED

It is very seldom that an instance
can be found wherein our presidential
monstl osity RECEIVES an endorsement
and it is therefore with considerable
reluctance that we note an instance
when it is unveiled to a suffocatlug
people. But suffice to say that over in
Missouri and in the county of Madison,
a democrat convention UNANIMOUSLY
adopted the following resolution, and
we have no comment to make, no
criticism to offer, no suggestions to
make, apd it is the first endorsement
that the Tub Of Fat has received to
which we can ring In a hearty "Amen!''
''REsOLvED, That we congratulate
our weightJ chief executive, Grover
Cleveland, upon his newly acquired
reputation as successful duck hunter,
and that we greatly regret that he has
not given more time to waging an un-
sparing war upon the f1ocks of threat
enlng and dangerous mallards, spring

ness of an already oyerburdened people

REASONING from one stand

lGEASONING lrOm one SCdIlO-
point a puppy has more sense
than some men. For in
stance, it only requires nine
days for a puppy to get it's
eyes open whereas some men
are apparently blind
throughout a lifetime. But
there is one thing that is
causing most Of the people
of the West to expand their
eyelids, and that is exorbi-
tant freight rates. Scarcely
a day passes but what you
can read an account of ship
pers meeting in conference
and otherwise for the pur-
pose of battling against high
rates and the newspapers
of the West in general are
devoting a good share of
their space to the condemna-
ton Of enormous freight
rates. But Notwithstanding
the interest that has thus
been taken, most of the agi-
tators are vet in the dark as
to a true remedy. The quick
er men learn that it is futile
to appeal to a corporation
for justice the quicker they
can expect relief. Reduction
of rates. if it comes at all,
must come by legislation, and
it never will be accomplished
in any other way. The only
way to solve the transporta-
ton problem perfectly is to
put the government in con-
troll and it is our belief that
the people will followthe pup
py's example and get their
eyes open when they find
they can no longer bear the
burden of corporation op,
preston.

The Kansas City Gazette
which has heretofore tried to
identify itself as an indepen-
dent free silver republican is
making a strenuous effort to
get back into the fold. It
wants to leave the entire
question of currency to the
judgment and disposition of
congress and have the people
satisfied with the results.
Whoever advocates such a
proposition is a man without
a backbone. One of the
greatest ailments affecting
the people now is the man
ner in which they have been
manifestly trusting every
thing to the judgment of
congress. 1t is time the peo-
pie we're taking the matter in
their own hands and seeing
to it that when a man goes
to congress or the White
House he is right on public
questions and in sympathy
with the masses. By this
means most people might
once more have a chance to
honestly make a decent liv-
ing.
