Mayors Proclamation.

Another year has again rolled around
and another day Of memorial is ap-
preaching in which we all should par
ticipate and do honor to the brave
defenders Of our country.
Nothing In the history Of these
United States can compare with the
sacrifices made by the gallant soldiers
who faced the eremy's battery, who
were riddled by shot and shell with
no other reward in view than the pat
riotism within their hearts and con-
scienceness Of right, who sacrificed all
home comforts and accepted the can
Opy Of heaven for a covering and
Mother Earth for a resting place, and
for what purpose? Simply that you
and l might euiOy the benefits and
live as happy people wholly free.

smaller, year by year some comrade

A few DAYS ago the Mail said:

Whatever hope there is for free sill
yer lies in international action: what
ever hope there is for international
action lies in the Republican party.
Now comes "SOund Money"
publication from Chicago under the
auspices OF the Mark Hanna fund,
and declares that "at such a con-
ference, there would not be the
remotest possibility of any European
nation taking steps tending in the
least to weaken the gold Standard"
and that all that would be accom-
plished by it would be to perhaps
enlighten little the minds Of many
voters in the United States who still
cling to the notion that governments
might, by united action, bring up
silver to its old value in proportion
to gold" The fellows who voted
the Republican ticket last fall under
protest, because Of the declaration
for the gold standard, hoping that
the International agreement feature
would save their conscience, are
just now beginning to find out
"where they are at" We appre-
bend that all Of these are not ready
to subscribe to the statement that
all hope of relief from the gold
standard dies with the failure to
get foreign countries to help US out.
They will doubtless allow their
minds to run back in history to a
time when this country undertook
to run her affairs independent Of
Great Britain and conclude that
such thing is possible again. We
have the power to make them take
silver for our obligations to them
and if they are not willing 10 meet
us half way in relieving the people
from the distress of the gold
standard we may be just foclhardy
enough to ram silver down their
threats whether they like it or no,

great common people than any other
man whom the late uprising Of the
people has brought to the front.
His memorable campaign of 1896
made a place in history for him
whether he is ever elected president
of the United States or not. 1t
proved his ability and endurance
as a leader. The VOICE believes
there is a future in store for him,
that the people will use him as
standard bearer in their triumphal
march to victory in 1900. We
realize that he belongs to the new
democracy, rather than the Populist
party, but the two elements are so
closely allied in national purpose
and object that but little fault can be
found of him on that score. After
all, what is there in a name where
vital principles are up for final dispo-
sition. 1t would be a misfortune
indeed if for some whimsical reason
the allied forces of 1896 were
asundered and scattered and their ef-
forts wasted in the air in 1900. With
this idea in new, realizing that
measures rather than men are to be
placed on trial, acknowledging with
pride our connection with and un-
dying devotion to that pioneer in
reform-the Populist party, desiring
to avoid any future endorsements
that may arise by exalting person
above principle, much as we admire
and honor the person of William
Jennings Bryan, we omit it from our
masthead, hoping that, If consistent
with the triumph Of our cause, he
may become our leader in 1900
and receive a commission from the
people to right their wrongs.

One Of the ablest champions Of
the silver cause is the American,
published at Philadelphia by Whar-
ton Barker. Mr.. Barker is an old
line Republican who last year rec
oguized the fact that his party had
departed from its early devotion to
the people and had become the tool
of corporations. He carried on a
vigorous and logical fight against the
gold standard during the campaign.
His paper can be had for 81 per
year. Sample copies can be seen at
this Office. The VOICE expects to
extract from some of his able editor
ials soon.

The VOICE neglected last week to
chronicle the advent Of the Topeka
Independent by Griffin & Root.
The Independent will be what its
name indicates. 1t will be edited
by Hon. Albert Griffin who spoke to
the people Of Sumner county near
the close of the last campaign. He
is able and fearless, impelled by the
better attributes and motives of
man, and will accomplish great good
for the peoples cause. The VOICE
gladly welcomes such men to the
fraternity.

The new mayor oil Wellington,
ordinarily good man, has got him
self into trouble already by having
been elected on a partisan ticket.
Soon after his election he appointed
Nick Begley as night watch. Mr..
Begley entered upon his duties and
was giving thorough satisfaction. 1t
only required few days for the
hungry Republican ward politicians
to stir up quite a hornets nest the
buzzing of which became quite
audible to the ears OF the well-mean-
ing but inexperienced mayor-all on
account of the night watchman's
politics; Begley is Democrat. The
fact that the former mayor, although
a Demo-Pop, had kept Republican
in the office Of city marshel for many
months was no alternating circum-
stance-"Begley must CO." And
Begley did 60. The new mayor
went to him and told him that while
he was his choice for that position,
he had learned that his politics was
wrong and much as he regretted it
he would have to give his place to
another. Begley's successor is John
Millard, good fisher, good store
box carver, good all around man
in the shade, and over and above all
good Republican out of an easy
job. The incident only serves to
show the folly OF party politics in
municipal affairs. There is no more
reason for drawing party lines in
municipal elections than in the
management of a country fair OF
church social.

The Kansas City Star is authority
for the statement that the Re-
publicans were in a hole last fall
until John Sherman stepped into
the breach and promised they
would let the tariff alone and give
their entire attention to the money
question. According to the Star
about a million Democrats took
John Sherman's word and voted
for Mckinley, only to find later that
they had been buncoed by the willy
Ohioan. They ought to have known
better. Why should they have
trusted the word Of an old political
on whom they had for
years been showering denunciation.

Anent the aning of Mary Cleveland

Twenty-Five Cent PAPERS,

Twenty-Five Cent Papers.
Never until the VOICE was estab-
lished in Wellington was it possible
to secure county paper here, Re.
publican or otherwise, for less than
$3.50 per year.
A good Populist came in the other
day and protested against paying a
dollar year for county paper when
he could get one at % cents;
thought We ought to be able to
print paper as cheap as any one
else. We explained the situation
but were unable to make it clear to
him, and lost a good patron.
Sumner county is not the only one
that is inflicted with such compe-
tition. The Ottawa Times Of last
week, edited by Governor Elder,
has the following on the same line:
We published recently an expose OF
the methods of the "HOnest Money
League Of New York, the secretary
of whlch-Mark Hanna-is paying
$1,000 year to direct and send out
gold standard literature to farmers
through farm journals and local Re-
publican weeklies. Here is one of
their letters sent out by James Buell.,
secretary, and reproduced by the Chi
cagO Inter Ocean:
THE AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION.
strictly Priyate.)
Dear Sir: Please insert the enclosed
printed slip as leading matter on the editorial
page of your first issue Immediately following
the receipt Of this, and send marked copy
with bill to James Buell., Secretary.
This is how and why our 25-cent
local Republican weeklies are sent to
Franklin county farmers for a quarter.
The publishers just "send the bill to
the secretary"
1t has been an open speculation
in Wellington to the uninitiated,
for many months as to how the Mail
and Star had been able to maintain
itself. The above will perhaps
afford clue to the mystery. Those
who want to CLEAN their political
Pabulum from paper that is edited
in New York, every editorial pull
sation OF which is against their indi.
vidual and collective interests,
subsidized and maintained for the
purpose Of duping and confounding
and binding the people to the
extortions and robberies that are
being practiced upon them Can save
Is cents year by transferring their
patronage; but we apprehend that
there are not many sensible men who
will judge that course to be one Of
economy. The VOICE will continue
to voice the people Of Kansas, rather
than those Of New York, and will
trust to its constituents to stand by
it. The idea OF loaning ourselves
for consideration to a conspiracy
to enslave our people-our neighbors
is repulSive to our inner instincts,
and we reconsecrate ourselves to the
cause of the people, determined to
rise or fall with them-let others do
as they may.
