James A. Ray, chairman of the ''sil-

nounces that there can be mo such thing
as "silver party" in Kansas, and has
joined the populists. Judge Ray is right
Free silver means dishonest money, land
populism' basic principle is row and
alwayshas been deprecated currency;
no man who believes in deprecated
currency can be either a republican or a
democrat, for whatever else their faults
may be, both of these parties have al
vocated honest, sound, good money.
A man who believes in any comprom-
Use in this matter is populist; he can

things, Judge Ray is to be commend

tied. They were sure something was
wrong, and free coinage or any other
old thing that would make times bet
ter was what they wanted; the cleo
tion came and Mckinley was elected
by the largest majority any president
of the United States had ever re-
ceived.
Those of the republicans who had
stood by their principles through
thick and thin were happy, those who
were side tracked were not much cast
down; many voted for Bryan who will
never tell it, and the world will be
none the wiser, and it is well that it
is so. Mckinley has been president
less than three months, and there is
not one product that farmer has to
sell but brings ten to twenty-five per
cent more than it did one year ago.
Voters know this and are satisfied.
Considerable space is used by the Gre
form" press, poking fun at the wave
of prosperity Prices did not go down
in day, neither can they come back
to the Harrison standard in day, yet
they are slowly but surely improving,
Look up prices of one year ago and
compare them and you can't help but
be convinced. Take wheat, corn, hogs,
cattle, chickens or any other product
and compare it with one year ago and
you cannot help being convinced that
we are on the up grade. Take the
bank clearings Of Kansas City for in
stance and you will see an increase Of
25 to 40 per cent over year ago. Kan
sas has had enough booms; it Is regu.
lar steady growth that will do US good
and we are having it. Most Of the
republicans who quietly voted the "re-
form" ticket one year ago, will as
quietly vote the republican ticket this
year, and while there will be no state
officers to elect, the compiled vote for
county officers will show that Kansas
is still republican by from 10000 to
10000.

Republican.

= No one can dispute the fact that
many Kansas republicans jumped in
the silver band wagon and rode it to
defeat, and are kicking themselves for
their error Many of them came out
boldly and joined silver clubs, while
Others quietly went to the polls and
cast their votes for the silver cham
pion. These fellows were Conscientious
in the course they pursued; they had
been educated to this course, partly
by some of their party leaders. Up
to the time the st. Louis convention
met, many individuals and some Of
the republican newspapers were toying
with the silver fallacy. We had had
four years of democratic mismanage-
ment, times were getting harder and
harder; everyone knew something was
wrong somewhere, and many had
come to the conclusion that it was the
money question that was bothering us
most, that money was too valuable, too
hard to get sc &c sc. The st. Louis
convention nominated McKinly on a
platform declaring for honest money.
A majority of the republican party
were satisfied as the party as whole
had always advocated currency that
was honored the the world over, yet
there were those who had been follow
ing the cratic footsteps of Ingalls, anC
Others until they had become unset

Eakirs.

Hardly week passes but some pat
ent medicine man or other fakir
strikes the town; each has some kind
of remedy that will be sure cure for
some imaginary disease that the aver
age citizen can dig up. 1t is disgust
ing to see people with fair amount
of sense, patronize them; it looks as if
some time our people would drop onto
the fact that these travelling special
lists are frauds. If they were one-half
what they claim to be, they could make
all the money they would know what
to do with in some large town or city.
1t seems that about all fellow needs
to do in order to sell his goods is to
put on a good suit of clothes and silk

of their own town in the same bust

and taxes and help keep up your town
and who, nine times out of ten, are
better fitted to prescribe than the trav-
cling specialists. But the average man
must be buncoed in order to become
educated. Soap men use the same
games, electric belt men give you the
same talk, and travelling doctors the

Ia If you do not believe that farm
land is higher than it was year ago,
try to ouy farm. You will soon con-
vince yourself that farmers have be-
gun.living on their farms, and since
they have become better acquainted
with them, like them better than for
merly and have concluded that Kan
sas real estate is not bad property af-
ter all. The time is past when you

mhe legislature.

i If anyone thinks that the aver
age Kansas populist is proud of the re-
cent legislature, all he needs to do to
disabuse his mind of the fact,is to talk
to few of these "eX-reformers" and
he will soon be convinced that there is
trouble in the camp. The pops from
the rulal districts are not saying much
but are keeping their thinkers work
ing little along at odd times. Ifyou
think they have forgotten the
pranks played by their misfit legisla-
ture, you are again wrong. Just poke
them a little; they are little harder
to start than formerly, but when
stirred up they can diagnose the act
ions of the reform legislature to fare
you well.

FirenrOof1np Wood.

Another method of fireproofng wood
has been brought forward-this time
ut Nottingham, where the British Non
inf1ammable Wood company has given
an exhibition designed to demonstrate
the security against fire of buildings
constructed with timber treated by
their new process For the purpose of
the experiment two buildings about 1
feet square and 80 in height had been
set up-similar in all respects, except
that one was made of treated timber
and the other Of ordinary timber, each
being also furnished with chimney for
the purpose of creating strong draft
and facilitating combustion. Outside Of
these houses, on the windward, firewood
and shavings were piled, which were
set on fire simultaneously. In five min
utes the building of ordinary timber
was we'll on fire and in about half an
hour reduced to ashes, while the other
structure remained intact save for the
charming of the woodwork on the side
exposed to the direct action of the
flames. A further test had meanwhile
been applied by igniting pile of shaw
ings and fagots inside, but again the
effect was merely to char the wood,
which did not break into flame. A box,
too, made of the treated wood and
which had been placed in the midst of
the ignited material was afterward
drawn out practically uninjured-
