NOW THE PENALTY OF FUSION.

The elimination OF Spoils from poll

fight, and if they had not been robbed
by the Democrats, would have gained
a great many offices. However. it
should be said that Populism has never
been anxious to hold Office. 1t merely
wants to relieve the people. In the
north the PoDuliSt party had a similar
anxiety to release the people from the
bondage of corporate greed and other
dreadful monsters. But along with
this anxiety for popular relief they
have also cherished an anxiety 20 get
an Office or two for which purpose they
have united with the Democrats in the
north.
Today these office-seeking Pops are
meeting in St Louis. They are COM
pairing notes. The western Popuiist
finds that he hates the Republican and
loves the Democrat; the southern Popu-
list discovers that he is out of tune by
loving the Republicans and hating the
Democrats.
What will the result be? If Bryan
is Endorsed the Populists of the south
will be forced into the Republican
party. Kalb of Georgia viii throw
himself into the arms Of Georgia Demo-
Gratis who have stolen the election from
him several times-in horn. The
Populists all over the south who have
been abused and brOwbeaten along
with the negroes, by the regular Demo
Gratis, will now vote for the Democrats
nominee. They certainly will do moth
ing of the sort
And If the Populists at st. Louis
should refuse to indorse Bryan the
western Populists will get up in indig-
nation and leave their own party. 1t
will be their strong belief that after the
PopuliSts have the man and the plat
form they want they senselessly go
back on it The Populists will pick
UP their doll-clothes and pull out OF the
POpulist camp in disgust
This has all come about because of
the faithlessness Of Populists. Had
they stuck by their original declaration
that the office should seek the man, and
had they taken no offices except those
which came TO them through their own
organization, there would be NO trouble
at St Louis today.
The difficulty is that the Populist
leaders are human, and, thinking just
as much of official salaries as other
partisanS, have emasculated their party
forever by their own selfishneSS. This
week comes the penalty Of unprincipled
fusion

WHAT ED. HoCH THINKS.

The Republicans OF Kansas will be wise
If they do not draw the line ON each other
TOO closely on the financial questions. There
are honest differences in the party on the
subject. Neither the brains nor the con-
sciences ara all on either side. Upon al
other questions Republicans are agreed
and harmonious. They believe the re-
turn of their party TO power is necessary
to the country. and they can afford TO be
tolerant toward each other on this ques-
ton. We ought to be able to agree 10
disagree on this subject. Let US differ
as friends and not as opponents. The Re
publican party IN Kansas must be big
enough and broad enough to allow great
latitude of opinion among its members Il
it would carry this state. This fact night
as well be understood at the threshold
OF the campaign.-Marion Record.

HITS THE KANSAS FARMER.

The livestock growers of the Trans
missouri country are interested in the
most direct way in a protective tariff.
Under the Wilson bill the Cleveland
administration perpetrated an outrage
upon the farmers of the west. 1t will
be remembered that the newspapers OF
the west not only protested against
Carlisle'S action in admitting Old Next
can cattle to our markets. but that
meetings We're held and formal de-
murrers were sent to Washington. In
1895 S6S1, 1915 of live stock came into
the United States from Mexico under
the Wilson German bill, as against an
average of $4,000 per annum under
the Mckinley bill. and for the ten
months ending April 30th, 1896. under
the Wilson bill. S2,616,4SO worth Of
these runty cattle and inferior stock
was rushed into the markets of the
United States, depreciating the value of
American cattle in q marked degree.
These ratty Mexican steers We're
valued at $3.50 per head and taxed
S1.35, and were consigned principally
to Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City and
Omaha. These figures are from the
official reports, which show that the
amount of beef realized from them in
the last ten months amounted 10 221,-
292, 800 pounds, enough meat TO feed
the people of several states, largely at
the expense of the western farmer and
cattle raiser Bryan is a Golden club
adherent and believes in throwing
down the bars absolutely, in which
event Old Mexico would furnish fully
Une-half the beef. one-third the sheep
and one-feurth the horses demanded
on American markets.
