Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1896-08-07

We demand laws which shall prevent the
products of convict labor coming into compe-
tition with the products of free labor and re-
wards.
We demand that all public salaries shall be
reduced to correspond with the prices of labor
and its products.
We demand that the supreme court clear its
its docket in justice to the people.
The above was adopted by the committee last
night and to it was added this morning the
following:
"Whereas, the Armour Packing company is
now expressing many workmen of Kansas City,
Kas., members of Anchor Federal labor union
and other unions, be it
Resolved, That we extend to the members of
that and other unions who are being thus OF
pressed our hearty and sincere sympathy"
motion was made to adopt the report OF the
committees, but Harrison Kelley called halt
declaring that the resolutions were not clear
enough on the St. Louis platform and its can
didates. He moved to amend by ndorsing the
platform and declaring in favor of Bryan and
Watson in positive terms.
Mr.. Kelleys resolution was enthusiastically
adopted.
OWING to the absence Of the cold man" at
the state convention this week, the AGITATOR
is not up to the standard in appearance, and is
also day late. Well try to make up for all
Deficiencies in the future.
Col. w. G. COFFIN, of Lawrence, one of the
oldest settlers of the state, and lifelong Re-
publican, has declared for Bryan. He stumped
for "Tippecanoe' Harrison, and also for Ben
Harrison.
THERE is not, and never has been, law pro-
viding for the 500 600, 900 reserve fund that
is giving Cleveland, Sherman & Co. SO much
trouble, nor for any other reserve fund of that
nature.
SECRETARY OF STATE EDWARDS has our
thanks for a copy Of his Kansas Souvenir,

Kansas and her various interests.
WE would like to arrange for Joint debate
between Ex-Governor St. John and some 'bright
light" Of the Republican party. Are the Re-
publcans willing? Speak up.

Yes, Brother Deacon we remember
all about the time we 'uns took you
'uns ferry boat and put all OF your
biggest citizens in the old log Jail.
II we remember rightly, it was year
or two before ST. Vincent got her six
congressman to steal our signal Office
from our one territorial delegate.
We thought these two little neigh.
borly affairs about made US quits,
especially as we tried hard few weeks
ago to help you keep the signal office
you so cowardly stole from US.
Better let by-gones be by-gones
Brother Deacon. There are many
unpleasant memories that would be
better to keep In the graves where
they are buried. Such spooks are
dangerous when evoked, aud there Is
no telling what might appear to the
old sexton sof the graveyard himself,
II he insists on playing the witch of
Endor. Let the dead remain at rest,
and discuss live issues under present
Eetrcunstancss-,

CUBA.

-.Goagress, both the Senate and the
Ha, have passed strong resolutions
fayoring the recognition of the Cuban
insurgents as beligerents, and even 60
further, by saying that our intimate
business relations demand that il the
matter is not settled soon, that be-
cause Of our own interests the United
States should interfere.
There is quite strong war talk
among the Spaniards on this account,
but ordinarily Spain would think 1t
had all the fighting 1t wants, without
a war with so powerful foe as the
United States, but there is curious
idea among some people, that because
Spain is proud she would prefer war
with the United States and lose Cuba
In that way, than to suffer defeat by
the insurgents alone, which is liable
to happen as things are going.

the rRANsvAAL TROUBLE. !

THE TRANsvAAL TROUBLE.
In a careful review Of the South At
rican situation, the editor of the Re.
view of Reviews exposes In the March
number the unreasonable nature of
some of the demands made by the
"Uitlanders" ON President Kruger's
government. The reforms" In that
government are demanded, 1t is
shown, by men who retain their alle-
glance to Great Britian or the Unit
ed States, as the case may be, and do
not intend to become in good faith
citizens in the Transvaal. Although
they claim that they are made to bear
an undue proportion Of the burden OF
taxation. it appears that the Trans
val, government gets q comparatively
small share of the wealth of the gold
mines; most of 1t goes to the cult
landers." 1t is true that the Beers
have thus fur failed TO provide Eng
ligsh schools in johannesburg. but In
most non-English-speaking countries
it has always been customary for Eng
ligsh-speaking coloniststo o provide Eng
lish instruction at their own expense.
This difficulty will probably1be remov-
ed, however, In due time, without
recourse to any radical change In the
government. Both Americans and
Euglishmen have been freely permit
ted to enter the Transvaal and engage
in miniLg. The clamor for change
in the institutions Of what is to them
still q foreign country, albeit an hos
pitable one, comes with bad grace
from these adventurous aliens.

We SAN somsA Ahers this aeESSk. .tnsrs.
ference to the pi6ttorm Of the repub.
lican party ia the coming campaign,
the comprehensive and brief express
sion that mckinley is platform
enough"
OF course the expression was made
by an enthusiastic Mckinley support
er and was intended us boom for Nc.
.Kinley. But it is fact, that the
nomination of Mckinley In itself Ia =
platform. and what is still more re-
markable, the same expression would
be equally true Of large number OF
the leaders Of the republican party.
particularly true of almost all Of the
more prominent candidates, and con-
spicuously SO in the case of the four
leaders, Mckinley, Reed, Morton and
Allison.
They are republicans and represent
republican principles. II either Of
them are elected there Is no doubt
whatever, that the policy Of the ad-
ministr,tion would be the policy of
the republican party. Apolley which
for thirty years kept this country on
the high road to progress and pros
peritY.
AS we turn to the democratic party
the contrast il certainly obvious and
the uncertalat aty manifested there, en-
phasises by contrast, what we have
said as to the republican candidates.
The democratic party. to-day il not
t, e democratic party. 1t has become
80 permeated with Clevelahdism that
it is in a quandary whether to nomi-
nate Cleveland with his mistakes. his
unpopularity,. his third term and his
BOND buying. ot to nominate some
body else; which somebody else at this
writing has not dared TO show his
head.
To-day the great democratic party
stands humbly waiting for Mr.. Cleve-
land to say whether he shall succeed
himself. Or whom he will choose as
his successor; that IS. the nonalnee Of
the democratic party shalt be either
Cleveland himself, or be a representa-
tive of Cleveland.
And this is the pitcahle state of the
old party, Notwithstanding the fact,
that without doubt majority only
wish they could in some way get this
..Old Man of the Sea" from of their
shoulders, aud have q president who
represented his party aud Its platform
and not Cleveland.
