JIMMY TROU IMAM.

The Newton Republican has been doing a
little "6ggering, and finds that, in 1894, Trout
mans heaviest vote came from Wichita, Atchi-
son, Kansas and other resubmission strong
holds, where he received many more votes than
Morrill,.
In recent interview, Troutnan told Kan
sas City Times reporter that he is not running
for governor as prohbitionist bnt that he
will be satisfied with any kind of platform
the Republican convention may adopt When
asked if he would enforce the prohibtory law
he if should gain the nomination and election,
he refused to answer the reporters question.
So you see, if Troutman should become gov
ernor of Kansas, he would exhibit about the
same amount of backbone as is being exhibit
ed by Granny Morrill,.

The Woman's Relief Corps of Blue Rapids
will decorate the graves of their dead soldiers
May 2otll, instead of the goth, as has been
their custom. The reason they give for the
change is that May 3oth or Decoration day, as
now observed, has been given over to beer
drinking, horse-racing, dancing and general
carousal-an Insult TO their dead. My very
soul has rebelled every Decoration day at the
seeming mockery, because of these very things.
| have often thought if the dead can look back
across the river and see our Publications the
day we set apart sacred to their memory,
they would, very naturally, think we must be
VERY glad that they had died. Let us do away
with this manner of celebrating, and really and
truly hold connemoration services.

MR.. HENRY CLEws, in his last financial cir

process of forming combinations for the regu-

dustrv to another, and promises to place the
current over-production under wholesome re-
straint" How greatly encouraged the people
should feel when informed that there is no dam

market than are absolutely required, and that
the prices will be maintained regardless of the
continuous decline i'll the values of agricultural

A "SLICK" SCHEME.

"Applejack Cy" Leland is "slicker,' and
no mistake. His latest game is one of the
cutest schemes on record. Cy knows that
lot of Republicans hate him "worse'n pizen,'
and that much of the kicking against Morrill,
was on his (Cy's) account, SO he set about to
devise scheme to bring these fellows back In
to the fold-and the plan worked pretty well.
Here's the scheme:
Cv pretended that he was going to oppose
Morrill-desert his old friend in time OF need.
He told the newspaper reporters that he had
told Morrill, that he couldn't support him; and
he also limited that he would bring out Sam
Peters for governor, knowing full we'll that
Peters would not 1un. Cy understands human
nature. He knows that the sympathies of most
people are with the under dog, and he shrewdly
Guessed that if he made the people think that
he. the big Republican boss, had gone back on
Morrill,, they would forget their past grievances
and rush to Morrills aid. Had Cy really
brought out candidate, and staid by him, his
scheme would not have shown itself so plain
" but. after Peters had declared himself for
Morrill,, Cy said he had no candidate-and now
he is busy saying nothing.
Well. the scheme worked quite well. Sew
eral papers which had opposed Morrill, are now
for him, and are vigorously "cussin' " Cy.
Even the Topeka State Journal, which opposes
Morrill,, says if anything would cause it to sup
port Morrill,, it would be Cy's opposition to him.
Yes, "Applejack" is pretty smooth.

SECOND DISTRICT REDEEMERS.

The Republicans of the Second congressional
district, after a long-drawn-out fight in their
convention at Lawrence, succeeded in nominal
ing 7. P Harris, of Ottawa, for congressman
Harris is national banker, pronounced
pold-bug, and is said to be worth $2oo,ooo. He
has probably never produced a dollars worth
Of ANYTHING in his life, but is said to have got
his start in life by loaning and investing the
PEOPLES money, for his own benefit, during
three terms in the county treasurer's office OF
Franklin county-two terms as treasurer and
one term as his fathers deputy.
Harris secured his nomination through the
SEATING of the Barnes-Tricket delegation from
Wvandotte county, which was opposed to Blu
chan. A history of this scheme to down the
Buchan crowd would occupy too much OF our
snace. so we will not undertake to give it, but,
while we have no use for Buchan, we must say
# was one of the most damnable schemes ever
devised by man, and it is heartily condemned
NV all honest men. The Buchan delegation
was the legal delegation, but these delegates
were shut out of the convention
This action of the convention has stirred up
bad blood, and the Buchan crowd Will go al
teri the illegally-nominated candidate. Billy
has a great big knife up his sleeve The Kan
sas CITY Gazette and the Lawrence Journal, the
on1y influential Republican papers in the dis
trict, strongly condemn the action OF the con-
vention, and the Gazette boldly declares that it
will not support Harris. Both factions have
declared war to the knife and knife to the hilt
Prominent Republicans have informed us
that Harris money was freely used in the Wy
andotte primaries, and the darkly hint that the
same kind of money was not wanting in the
convention.
Honest Republicans declare that it is de-
nlorabe state of affairs, and that such dishon
est nractices must be rebuked at the polls.
SENATOR DUBOIS, of Idaho, says: "In the
event the St. Louis convention adopts gold
bug or stradde platform, or nominates gold
bug or straddle candidate, shall bolt the con-
vent;on. I believe that l have sufficient
nersonal following in Idaho, added to the fol-
lowing which I will get from the other parties
on the silver question, to defeat the Republican
party in Idaho"

A LOT of Democrats of Topeka held love-
feast few nights ago. Ex-senator John Mar
tin made speech, which was mainly devoted
to the silver question. Among other things,
he said: owe hope to send delegation to the
national convention unequivocaly in favor of
the free coinage of silver at I6 to I; and we
will nominate a Democratic ticket on a
Democratic platform pledged to that policy
Then, short time AFTER the great silver con-
vention will meet at ST. Louis, and we will APP
pear before them and ask them in the name of
the great common people, to indorse our can
didates. The silver convention will do it.
Then we will appeal to the wisdom and sense
of justice of the Populists at their national
convention, and believe they, too, will ndorse
our candidates." 1t would seem, from this,
that John Martin always carries his gall with
him. Wonder, now, how those Populists feel
who helped elect him to the United States SELL
ate. Proud of it, amt you?

THE Second district Republican convention
to select one presidential elector and two dele
gates to the national convention met at Ottawa,
Tuesday, and put the slate through in about
thirty minutes. Chas. F. Scott, of lola, was
chosen as elector, although his county delega-
ton opposed him 1t was useless to try to
break the slate. Mckinley Morrill, and Le-
land were endorsed.

THE Republicans of Missouri have been hay
ing high old time in their state convention at
St. Joseph. Boss Filley had set of delegates,
and Boss Kerens had set of delegates When
they reached St. 10, the Kerens crowd got the
drop on the Filley crowd and shut the latter
out of the convention hall. Then the fun be-
gan. Filley and his crowd ripped, snorted and
swore and bombarded the front door; but their
efforts to effect an entrance were of no avail.
Then the Filey crowd began to smash in the
windows, and then improvised batterins- ram
and tried to force an entrance through the back
door. The police force was called to the scene
of the disturbance. After lively scrimmage,
the Filey forces were defeated, and the Kerens
crowd held the fort. And now, harmony pre-
walls CD. "Behold, how good it is for breth
rem to dwell together in unity"

Some Tall Walking.

Have you ever thought of the distance
you travel while you are out for an hour S
stroll? asks Pearsons Weekly Possibly
you walk three miles within the hour but
that does not by any means represent the
distance you travel. The earth turns on
it's axis every "a hours. For the sake of
round figures we will call the earth's cir
conference $4,000 miles, and so you must
have travelled during your hours stroll a
thousand miles in the axiel turn of the
earth. But this is by no means all. The
earth makes a journey round the sun every
year, and long but rapid trip It is The
distance of our planet from the sun we
will put at 5000, 900 miles This is the ra-
dlus of the earth's orbit-half the dame
ter of the circle, as we call 1t. The whole
diameter is therefore 1874, 900 900 miles, and
the circumference, being the diameter
multiplied by 3.1416, is about $4,000, 900. This
amazing distance the earth travels in it's
yearly journey, and dividing it by 365 we
find the daily speed about 1,584,00 Then,
to get the distance you rode around the
sun during your hours walk, divide again
by "A, and the result is about 5000 miles
But this is not the end of your hour s
trip The sun, with its entire brood of
planets, is moving in space at the rate of
1855 100000 miles in year. This Is at the
rate of a little more than $4,000 miles a
day, or 1890 miles an hour.
So. adding your three miles of leg travel
to the hours avail movement of the earth,
this to the earth's orbital journey, and
that again to the earth's excursion with
the sun, and you find you have travelled
in the hour 1903 miles.
