EDITOR HERALD Hon. Jerry Simp-
son made one of his "non.partizsn"
speeches in Kirwln last Saturday, o.
tober 16. Notwithstanding the fact
that it began raining Friday evening,
and kept on most of the night and
the greater part Of the day, every
seat in the big rink was taken and
two hundred persons stood up while
the sage Of Medicine Lodge expound-
cd the gospel of the peoples party.
Mr.. Simpson spoke mostly from
the view point OF National issues.
He made strong arguments in favor
Of the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l of gold;
showed the inconsistency Of the re-
publican administration In claiming
that the United States has the best
system of finance in the world, aud
then asking for a commission TO for
mulate new money system" He
referred to the fact that the republi'
can platform declared for bImetalllsm
through international agreement, and
then demonstrated that they (the re-
publican leaders) did not want such
agreement, and were bending all OF
their energies to take the govern
ment out Of the currency business"
as per the plan Of the Baltimore, and
other Bankers conventions, led by
Gage, Sherman, ct al. He showed
up the Inconsistencies of the claims
made for the Dingley bill, made a
strong plea for the principles Of the
peoples party and closed by urging
voters to be diligent, to get out on
election day and work for the success
Of the cause OF the people by voting
for the men who are opponents Of
such cause.
There was good singing by the Nc
Intire brothers Of WoodSton, Rocks
county, and by the four sisters quar-
tette composed of the Misses Aulgur
Of Kensington, Smith county,
Mr.. Simpson was compelled to cut
his speech short in order to reach
Phillipsburg, where, Notwithstanding
the rain, which fell In steady down
pour, he spoke to the court house full
of people who had been waiting for
some time to hear him. Jerry"
pleased the people OF this and ad-
joining counties, and the fact that
Messrs Long and Troutman have
since been here to answer" our
speakers is encouraging as tending
to show that our friends-th enemy
have at last concluded that there is
something on our side to reply to,
The reform forces are IN excellent
shape and will win the battle.
F. @. JOHNSON.

1T may be that the American Book
Company will lose some Of its repub-
licun friends. In a new history just
issued by this company it tells the
rising generation on page 65S, that at
a convention of Alliance men and
Knights Of Labor held in 1890, q
peoples Party" was formed, state
ticket nominated and elected Many
peoples rsrty men have believed that
Mr.. Willis was elected on that year,
but cor :ect history has it that Lyman
U. Humphrey filed the Office.

ATToNEY GENERAL BOYLE has COM
menced quo warranto proceedings in
the supreme court to secure the for
fixture of the charter of the Kansas
City Stockyards company and asks
that the company be compelled to
show cause why Its general offices
should not be established in Kansas
in accordance with the provisions of
the state law under which the COM
pany was Incorporated as Kansas
institution.
Through all the years Of the exist.
ence of this company, It's general Of
fees have been maintained in Missou-
ri, while nearly all Of lis yards and
property are located in Kansas. This
is in violation Of the laws under
which the company secured q charter
In this state.
The reason for the bringing of this
suit is found in the fact that the ex-
lstence of offices in Kansas City, Mo,
and the maintenance of yards in
Kansas City, Kas,, has given the COM
pany an opportunity to contend that
the enactment of laws in Kansas can
not affect Its business because it is an
interstate organization.
This condition is responsible for
one Of the difficulties experienced in
securing 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 it's Offices in
Kansas.
This suit is brought, not to drive
the company out of the state, but to
compel the removal OF its general
offices from Missouri into this state.
The demand is simply one in which
the court is asked to compel the com
ply with Kansas laws
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 provisions Of its charter. The
law provides that the compauy's gen
eral offices shall be maintained in this
state, bat nothing of this kind is done
The business is transacted in MIS-
soun." ("

The Topeka Mail and Breeze Of
late date IN a pictorial write up of the
iurists who interpret the laws of this
state has the following to say OF
Judge Geiger Of this district;
Judge Geiger was born IN Cedar
county, Iowa, January II, 1868 He
was raised on farm and schooled in
the common schools. At 10 years Of
age he entered the sub freshmen class
of Carthage college and graduated in
1882 He had a high standing in his
classes and in the annual oratorical
contest Of 1881 carried OF the Tress-
Ter prize for oratory. After his
graduation he taught school, worked
on the farm and read law. Ia 1885
he was admitted to the bar 10 Cedar
county. Iowa. In 1886 he moved to
Oberlin, Kanss. In the fall of 1856
he was elected county attorney Of
Decatur county, In 1890 he was
again nominated for county attorney
by the populist party and endorsed
by both the republican and democrat
ic conventions and elected without
opposition. In the fall of 1893 he
was elected Judge of the 18th ju-
dicial district as a populist but seems
to have established reputation even
among his political opponents for
fairness and integrity. HIS district
is composed of the counties of Phil
lips, Norton, Decatur, Rswlins and
Cheyenne"

The election this fall is what is
known as local affair, that is the
tickets are IN the main made up of
candidates for the various county
and township Offices. Tbs election
however is important to the people
from the fact that it will have bear
ing upon the election next fall when
a governor and Legislature are TO be
chosen. Without disc ussing any To-
cal features OF the question we ask
the voter to support the peoples par
ty or democratic ticket for tho reason
that should this ticket be chosen 1t
will strengthen the present admins
tration that much. National issues
80 Ear as law making is concerned are
settled until another presidential
election. The issues then of this and
the next campaign are such as are Of
special interest to the people of this
state. As every reader knows the
present state administration is en-
gagged III a 6ght with the stock yards,
the school hook, the insurance combi-
nations, and with the various railroad
companies that do business ia this
state. These battleG are being waged
in your interests, Mr.. Voter, and il
won will edd to your income and re-
duce expenditures. If it costs less
to handle and tranports your stock
and grain you make that much more
profit. II your insurance and school

babies better batter Osred for. Re.

The Dispatch in it's anguish cries
aloud and asks in pathetic tones;
''Are the men who do the voting in
this county, and who reap no benefit
from the Of holding Office going to
allow themselves to longer sacrifice
everything they hold dear to them,
in order that some member Of the
fusion parties may draw a salary from
the public treasury SO long as
the editor of the Dispatch holds an
Office 1t hardly seems falr that he
howl so long and painfully because
other men want them too. We be-
lleve that majority OF the voters
will prefer the men nominated on
the peoples party ticket this year
and will elect them. This fusion
deal that Bro. Royce is so much
worried over is a thousand times
more honorable than was the fusion
attempted in the Rogers deal last
fall. Royce was very mum then.

The Atchison Champion is for sale
owing to the i'll health Of Mr. Felt.

So long as American manufactur-
ers sell goods in all parts Of the
world in direct competition with the
nations of Europe, the cry OF pauper
labor loses some of it's weight.
