THE TOPEKA ADVOCATE.

This years campaign will be the most
important one since the war. 1t will
be particularly interesting to Populists.
Every intelligent citizen should keep
posted on the situation. The Topeka
Advocate prints more general news
than any Populist paper in Kansas. 1t
contains something for every member
of the family. 1t is clean, truthful and
reliable. Its fight for the people this
year will be particularly strong. Its ed

HAZELTON.

On account of the rain and change
from very warm to rather cold on Sat
urday night, the Bryan and Sewall
free silver club failed to have their reg
ular meeting This will cause George
B. Johnston and Stephenson's speeches
to be kept over until the next meeting,
as they were booked for speeches, and
were no doubt loaded for bear-or gold
bugs.
1t has been talked here by the repub,
licans that Chester l. Long has skinned
Our Jerry and hung his hide on the
fence out west, where it will be permit
ted to remain till after election, and it
has been also reported that Jerry has
skinned Chester and his hide hung on a
barb wire fence where it will have to
remain for an indefinite time as it
would spoil it to even try to take it
down. And now we, the people of Ha-
Zelton, or a goodly number of us, are
going to take in the debate at Harper
Tuesday and see for ourselves Just how
those two men look after being skinned
and used up in the way we hear they
have, and If after we get good look at
them we should find that both have
whole skins, there is going to be some
one called up for brief explanation.
We are willing to admit, and in fact,
have every reason to believe, that Jerry
could skin MIR. Long In the latest style
in debating the present questions that
are bothering the people, but We are
not ready to take 1t for granted that he
has done Sd for we don't think Jerry
would be so cruel as to get man down
and then, just because he could not
help himself, deliberately skin him.
No one ought to expect MI Long to
make much of an argument when it is
known by every one that he is trying to
make an argument against his honest
belief. It would be about as much as
he could do to hold Jerry level even
when he was arguing what he relieved
and had the people on his side. and for
anyone to expect him to 90 against his
own belief and the belief Of the people.
and meet Jerry half way is asking too
much for any ordinary man, and no one
will eyer attempt 10 claim that MI
Long is any more than very ordinary
man at the best.
One day last week we heard poor
laboring man trying to hold up for the
gold standard party, and he said if he
could only have some one to explain to
him how he was to get hold of any of
this free silver he would be ready to
vote for Bryan. 1t was not our put in.
so we said nothing. but we could not
help thinking that if the gold standard
won at this election he would soon be
wanting some one to tell him how he
was to get hold Of some Of the gold
Now there are but two ways to get
money that we know of, and one of
them is to work for it, and work hard
at that; the other is to get it through
speculation. Under free coinage of
silver the man that got it by work
would have few more opportunities
than he now has. However there is a
third means of getting hold of money if
one is willing to take the risk, and that
is TO steal it; but to do this and be safe,
it will be necessary to steal a mighty
big lot or otherwise you Will get into
serious trouble. Little thieves DON'T
have much show in these times.
