POPULIsTs OPPOSE CLICK.
Fusion Upon Him for State Senator
Denoun ced in Atchison County

The Populists of Atchison county are
making a vigorous fight against George
w. Click who is a candidate for state SEN
ator, his friends claiming that he has
been regularly nominated by the Dem
ocrats and POpulists.
This claim the POpulists dispute and
assert that Mr.. Click was not nOminat-
ed by their party and the county COM
mittee, after an official meeting, au-
thorized the publication of the following
good and sufficient reason" why the
Populists should refuse to support Mr..
Click:
''First-That he is not a Populist.
'Second.-That there is no communi-
ty of interest that entities him to the
votes of PopuIists.
''Third.-That it is aamaxim in morals
that a man who accepts favOrs must
grant favors: that man who rides on
a pass owes the road over which he
rides an obligation payable on demand.

PURSUING THE sTooKYARDs.
Suit Brought to Compel Location of
its Offices in Kansas

Attorney General Boyle today COM
rnenced quo warranto proceedings in
the supreme court to secure the forfeit
ure of the charter of the Kansas City
Stockyards company and asks that the
company be compelled to show cause
why it's general offices should not be
established in Kansas in accordance
with the provisions of the state law
under which the company was incOr-
pOTated as a Kansas institution.
Through all the years of the existence
of this company, it's general offices have
been maintained in Missouri, while near
ly all of it's yards and property are 10
Gated in Kansas. This is in violation of
the laws under which the company Sc
cured a charter in this state.
The reason for the bringing of this
suit today is found in the fact that the
existence of offices in Kansas City, Mo.
and the maintenance of yards in Kan
SaS City, Kan, has given the company
an opportunity to contend that the en-
actment of laws in Kansas cannot af-
feet it's business because it is an inter-
state organization.
This condition is responsible for one
of the difficulties experienced in Secur-
ing compliance with the new law which
is now in litigation in the federal court.
Anticipating that the same difficulty is
likely to arise in the future, Mr.. Boyle
desires to compel the company to locate
its offices in Kansas.
This suit is brought, not to drive the
company from Kansas, but to compel
the removal OF ITS general ofhceS from
Missouri into this state. The demand is
simply one in which the court is asked
to compel the company to comply with
Kansas laws.
1.-The statute is unusually explicit on
this point" said Mr.. Boyle today, and
we ask that the court compel the stock
yards company to comply with the pro-
visions of its charter. The law pro-
vides that the cOmpany's general offices
stall be maintained in this state, but
nothing of this kind is done. The bust
ness is transacted in Missouri

DIAMOND DYES AHEAD.
Women Know by Practical Expe-

It's the easiest matter in the world
to dye with Diamond Dyes, as thous-
ands of women know from practical ex-
perience. BY using these simple home
dyes. one can make old clothing look
like new and save a great many dollars
in the course of a year.
Do not accept limitations of the origi-
nal Diamond Dyes from any dealer. no
matter how strongly he may recon-
larger profit on them they do not dye
as much as the Diamond, nor equal
them in fastness of co1ors. When poor
dyes are used, both your money and
labor are thrown away and the goods
are spoiled forever. Use the Diamond
Dyes only and get results that are
equal to those of the professional dyer,

[Capt. Kilbourne's defense of the
Kansas National Guard is somewhat
tardy and covers ground that has al
ready been gone over. 1t is we'll known
that no one is to blame for the failure
to secure rations but the officers of the
Guard themselves. That matter was
left with General McCrum at his own
request and it is foolish to hold any
one in Topeka responsible The trOu-
BILE between the police and the mem
bers of the National Guard was some
thing which was also beyond the jur
isdictiOn of any one except the parties
interested. There were undoubtedly
cases in which the police officers abused
their authority, but in times of excite
ment an officer cannot stop to make a
judicial investigation. Capt. Kilbourne
seems to think that the Kansas Ma
tiOnaI Guard conferred a great honor
on Topeka by coming here at all. He
fOrgetS that they were here at an ex-
pense of nearly SO, 600 to the citizens
and that the people of Topeka had d
right to demand that they conduct
themselves properly. He says nothing
about the members of the Guard and
even some officers helping people to
elude the gate-keepers at the fair
grounds and doing all they could to
ure.

Elsewhere we print a communication
from Mt. c. j. Hillyer, calling attention
to what he believes is a concealed trap
in the TARIFF bill, and urging bimetallists in
the Congress not to let the measure pass
without first adopting means to avert the
danger he thinks he recognizes.
The argument presented in MT. Hillyer's
letter is conclusive to the point that
Senators who do not wish to see gold
standard contraction farther advanced
ought to take counsel with each other and
act promptly In this matter
It is not generally believed that the pro-
posed patchwork tariff bill will produce
any Treasury surplus; still there is per
haps the possibility that it may. In the
first cese, safeguard like the Stewart
amendment can do no harm; in the other
it would become a question of enormous
and vital importance. And the facts in
the case seem to be mere matters Of opin-
ion. Republican concessions. that the bill
will not produce what, formerly, they claim
ed for it, may or may not be honest, and
we do not hear that its opponents have
any very clear idea as to what its Treas
ury results may be.
That being the condition of affairs, If
the Republican leaders are innocent of any
conspiracy against the national legal
tenders, they will have no reasonable
ground for objecting to some action like
that proposed by Senator Stewart. But
If they are guilty, they will fight every
such proposition, tooth and nail.
There has been visible and unsatis-
factory air of contentment around Wall
street, in connection with the approaching
passage of the tariff bill, that may not
all be due to any particular interest the
denizens OF the locality are supposed to
have in the general subject of commodity
