THE Kansas State Dairy Associa-
tion, in annual session at Abilene on
the 10th, unanimously passed reso-
luton endorsing Ex-Governor w. ID.
Hoard, Of Wisconsin, for secretary Of
agriculture IN the Mckinley cabinet,
and has prepared a petition to the
president elect asking for Hoard's
appointment. The various agricul-
tural organizations of the country
will, it is expected, generally take
similar action at their winter ses-
sions, and demonstrate to a certainty
that the appointment Of Mr.. Hoard
to the department of agriculture will
be most acceptable to those directly
Interested in the great industry for
the benefit of which the department
is supposed 10 be managed.

is supposed 70 be managed.

THERE are indications that at
tempts may be made to use the re-
publican members Of the legislature
to boost Wisconsin aspirants orseats
in the cabinet and other federal po-
sitions. Willy politicians know that
the average legislator is easily per-
suaded that he Is man OF first inn
portance, and that his signature Ia Il
petition is equivalent to an express
sion by tile entire population of the
district he happens to represent. No
man is elected to the legislature With
reference to his views upon federal
appointments, concerning which he
may be radically at variance with
his constituents, and it is presump-
tuous in him to assume to speak for
them on such subjects.

Honest Money.

If the exploiting money class did not
risk the general ignorance which charac-
terizes the public on the financial subject,
and especially as to the nature and proper
function of money, no such speech as that
delivered by Secretary Carlisle at the
Chamber of Commerce banquet would be
made by the class who are intent on bum
Going the public. Mr.. Carlisle presents
the disgraceful spectacle of the highest
officer of the national Treasury endeav-
oring to discredit the money of the nation
by sophistry i'll argument and misstating
facts. The greenbacks and all notes issued
representing silver in possession of the
government he has the gall to say before
that band of conspirators, is not money at
all, and recommends that all such be
destroyed and banks only be invested
with the right to issue paper which shall
be endowed with the money function.
This is a recommendation that money
issuing corporations whose main purpose
is to draw usury from the people shall be
substituted for the government.
Had Mr. Carlisle been honest or had he
not risked the ignorance of the people to
escape exposure, he would have advised
that the greenbacks, silver certificates and
treasury notes be called in and to take
their place full legal tender currency be
issued, every note of which should con-
tain the legion This is legal tender
for all debts, dues and obligations, public
and private in the United States' That
would settle the hash of the little band of
goldbug bunco steerers and lift the coun-
try from beneath the heel of England
and the Rothschild gang, where it now
lies, and bring prosperity to every branch
of honest industry. Bank stocks that are
quoted from par to thousand per cent
premium would drop to their normal
value and land and its products rise to
normal price. Not dollar OF gold
reserve" would be needed or held on
which the people are taxed millions of
dollars The four hundred millions of
silver in sub-treasury vaults, lying idle
and worse than useless, would be expend-
ed i'll defraying the expenses of govern
ment in place of heaping more tax on the
people to provide ways and means"
and the silver would go out to the re-
motest corners of the country and remain
in these localities to transact business and
bless the people.
Had Secretary Carlisle been honest with
the people and not counted on their ig-
norance of such matters to shield him
from detection and general denunciation,
he would have told that buuco gang who
constitute the Chamber of Commerce,
these plain, honest truths. Had he done
so the terror of Belshazzar would have
been but little scare compared to the
CONSERVATION which would have seized on
that band of conspirators. The day is
coming, and not far distant, when better
man than Carlisle will tell them from the
Treasury Office these honest truths, and
partner in the Rothschild conspiracy will
not sit in.the White House to betray his
country.

Uniting the Reform Elements.

There appears to be great deal of mis-
taken theory on this subject. Some be-
lieve that ifa great convention of the
reform elements were called that an
agreement could be reached and plat
form built which would please ali and
bring them together This belief is idle.
Such convention would end like the
building of the tower Of Bable, in con-
fusion
Others again seem to believe that if the
different parties and fragments of parties
working for reforms would meet and con-
fer and in the names of the parties, and
by authority of the executive or national
committees of the parties and reform asso-
citation declare union had been agreed
upon, that the fragments would be drawn
together. That is an idle belief also.
There must be beacon light set up
that all can see, and light so strong and
clear it will attract the people who are
scattered and have despaired of any relief
in the old parties. The masses have no
pet dogma. Let the hope of relief reach
them and they will move towards that
light. The small numbers welded to a
pet dogma and who make all the noise
about their beautiful principles and strong
faith may as well be let alone. They will
listen to nothing Let the platform of
the Peoples party appeal to the masses
who seek relief from the intolerable con-
ditions which environ them. They will
come out of all those minor parties and
fragmentary "reform' associations, leav
ing the leaders and noise makers alone in
their glory. Let the platform by the next
national convention appeal directly to the
masses who are beginning to think for
themselves, and give no thought to the
many one-idea fragmentary parties whose
leaders are absorbed in their own great
ness The leaders of these fragments of
reform will never give them up, but like
Ephraim are joined to their idols, and
like him should be let alone.

Tie New York Voice has changed its
head gear and came out on the New Year
with a plain regimental pattern news
paper head, and offers five dollar prize
for the best motto to hang on the wall of
the convention hall when the Prohibition
national convention assemblies. The
MIDLAND JOURNAL offers the following:
''The State Dispensary will Kill the
Saloon"
This is both true and applicable to the
times and condition of the prohibition
sentiment of the country.
Dickie, the national chairman OF the
Prohibition party is kicking like Texas
steer against free silver plank in the
platform. Dickie is such goldite that 1t
is hard to keep from identifying him with
Wall street. and will drive more western
members out of the little party, ten to one,
than he will gain of eastern goldbugs.
The truth is, the goldbug is going to pick
the party he thinks has the best show OF
election, which has gold platform, and
he don't care copper for the rest of the
politics or principles of any party.
Chairman Dickie and his ilk, will keep
the party intact as long as possible as
tender to the Wall street gold ring. The
west is finding this out. The probability
is that free coinage will go into the Pitts
burg platform, and Dickie will go out of
the national craftsmanship, The money
question is going to fight its way into all
parties this heat, and st. John and Dickie
will not pull together. St. John is free
silver coinage, I6 to man to the back
bone, while Dickie is saturated with gold
