r1LrBusrER1Na REPUBLICANS.

Joe Bristow, who was Morrill's pri-
vate secretary during his recent term of
office as governor of Kansas, has ex-
pressed himself as follows in regard to
the filibusterlng republican minority of
the legislature:
I'VE do not think the republican mi
nority is justified in 6libustering to
prevent legislation. They can protest
against wild and dangerous schemes of
the Populists and make every possible
legitimate effort to prevent them from
enactIng unwise and dangerous meas
ures, but to resort to tilibustering and
bubbles and delays is republican.
1t has always been the policy of the
democracy. Reed as republican lead
er has made place IN history by break
in up this custom, and the republicans
in the Kansas legislature will not gain
anything by dropping into this old DEM
ocratic custom. We think that Mr..
Weilep did right in running the band.
wagon over them. If any of our repub-
lican leaders had been situated as he
was and had to deal with a refractory
Populist minority, they should have
done as he did, and the same republic
cans who howled at Weilep would have
cheered their own man. If the Popu.
lists proposed measures are bad, the re-
publican minority should convince the
people of Kansas that they are by argu
ment, and not attempt obstruction BY
filibusteringp

The daily press is doing
considerable growing just
now about how the mortgage
Indebtedness has been de-
creased in Kansas during the
past few years but it is not
showing how the decrease"
was brought about. If these
papers would just go a little
farther and say that the enor-
nous decrease had come
about by reason of foreclos-
ure proceedings they would
receive the credit for telling
the whole truth. If there is
prosperity in the land we
would be as glad to note 1t
as anybody but we fail to un-
derstand where it can be
found. We don't believe
that numerous mortgage fore
closures are any of its signal
marks.

If international bimetal-
lism is a good thing why is
not American bimetallism.
This is one of the questions
Hon. w. J. Bryan propounded
during the campaign but no
republican statesman has ev-
er answered it. Even Nc
Kinley, in his inaugural adj
dress, failed to answer the
question. The republican
party acknowledges the prin-
ciple of bimetallism to be cor
rect but when it comes to car
rying the principle into effect
the Rothsehilds say no, and
that settles it.

ANOTHER week has passed
and still no sign~of prospect
ty. If the republican adj
ministration is going to give
the people relief, those who
opposed McKinley's election
will receive it as cheerfully
as those who supported it.
The republican party is in
full control and there is
nothing to hinder it from
carrying its hobbies into eff
feet. When these measures
fail to provide a remedy, as
they surely will, the people
will then know to a certainty
that the republican platform
is fallacious and, when strip
ped of it's technicalities and
superfiuity Of verbiage sc,
amounts to nothing more than
buncombe. 1t affords us a
great deal of satisfaction to
know that their theories
are being put to a practical

The fee and salary bill became law
last week. Tie law affects each coun
ty according to population. We have
not seen copy of the bill since itpass-
ed the senate but 1T is said that the SEN
ate amendments do not in anv way
change the house bill so far as Barber
county is concerned. Under the pro-
visions of the bill the compensation for
officers III this county will be as follows:
County clerk, 5000 per year ana $50 an
nually for deputy hire if allowed by the
board of county commissioners: treas
urer, $1,000 per annum and $500 annual.
~ Tor deputy hire provided it is allowed
by the board of county commissioners:
probate Judge, all fees provided the an
nual receipts do not exceed $500: clerk
OF the district court, all fees provided
they do not exceed $500 annually. but
II there is an excess the fees must be
turned into the county treasury; regis.
ter OF deeds, $500: county superInten.
dent, about $3.50, depending on school
population each year; county attorney.
$3.50; sheriff $500 in fees collected;
county commissioners, So per day, pro-
vlded no commissioner shall receive
more than $l25 per annum: coroner and
surveyors fees remain as they now are.
The law will not affect present incum-
bents but will be in force after their
terms of office expire. In every in
stance except that of county attorney
the salaries are greatly reduced and the
county will be greatly benefited. This
was one of the leading demands of the
PEOPLES party and its passage is being
well received.

Profitable Dreaming.

As a rule, dreams are very unsatis-
factory; they are Incomplete, and mark
ed by absurd contradictions. Yet in
stances have occurred which seem to
prove that though the body be asleep,
the brain is still able to exercise a
thinking and reasoning power Saye
a well-known author: fancy, If 1t were
possible TO ascertain the truth, 1t would
be found that large proportion of the
cleverest books in our language owe
their conception, directly or indirectly,
to dream. The famous story of Doc
tor Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde originated in
this way. Justin Mccarthy dreams
many of his stories. One of them, call
ed "A Fellows Love Story" was ac-
tually dreamed by him In its entirety.
When he awoke, he recalled the whole
of it, and he wrote it, word for word,
with just as much ease as If he were
copying something out, and with no
brain exhaustion whatever, Many
complete passages in his book maid
of Athens" were also dreamed by him,
Some of my own most successful ideas
presented themselves to me during the
hours devoted to sleep. AS a rule, the
dream is simply productive of a sug-
gestion, but on one occasion have ac-
tually dreamed the entire plot of a
novel, from beginning to end. A re-
markable example of complete dream
was that of young man who, while
fast asleep, witnessed comedy. The
plot was fairly original, the dialogue
good, and the company consisted of
living members of the dramatic profess
sion. Fortunately he remembered suf-
ficient of his dream to actually write
the play, and 1t was subsequently per-
formed with considerable success.

Columbus, Ohio, July President
Blatchford of the United Mine Workers
of America says Of the miners strike,
Juy d:
"The exact date of the national sus-
pension has been matter of specula-
ton with newspapers for weeks past.
We are very thankful for the friendly
mention which this movement has re-
ceived from every quarter. With the
press and the public shoulder to shout
der it is not question should it take
place, but rather question when shall
the movement for living wages be in
augurated. Independence day was chos-
en- as g day well befitting our demand.
1t is the anniversary of our political in
dependence, let it also mark the begin
ming of an era of industrial freedom. and
as our revolutionary fathers freed them
selves from foreign rule, let the miners
of the country free themselves from the
domination of their oppressors. Our pres
ent suspension is not of our choice. 1t is
forced upon us by continuous reductions
in wages until the point is reached where
living by our industry is no longer pos
sible. Our miners everywhere throughout
the country are ready for it as last re-
sort and there is no doubt that it will
be the biggest movement of its kind this
country has ever seen.
81 am not fearful that the miners will
in any case violate the law. This will
be a peaceful contest, and violence
must not enter into it in any degree.
Public opinion is with us; kilograms and
letters from men in all walks of life are
pouring in, indorsing our action. The
great body of the people are on our
side, and we mean to retain their support
by strict observance of law and ORDER
