tors of the Union Pacific Railroad

railway, aside from the branches not
covered by the government lien, to
have been for the last fiscal year 81
927 est or Just little short of enough
to pay per cent interest on 800, 700,
600 of debt And the total amount of
the first mortgage debt and the

We are quite aware that q mendacious
press, if not mendacious administra-
ton, is spreading the report that the
government got every cent OF the face
value of the claim. But under date of
September b, and when the agree
ment of Elk Attorney General Harmon
to sell the road and sinking fund for
$45, 753 059 was still unchanged we have
the government directors writing in
their report that from the then ex-
pected realization from the foreclosure
sale of the railroad property, and of
the sinking fund of S45 754 059, it would
follow that the loss of the United States
will be about $25, 600 0o0." Since then
the hid for the property and sinking
fund was raised by $l2 $50 600, or to
S5S 900, 600 vt which price he property
was sold. How much then, according
governm MT tand TO lose by the sale?
Clearly ST. 750 900, and apparently the
cover am mt directors to k no account

The list of the committee is publish
ed in this paper for your benefit. They
are your servants and will do what you
want done, if you will let them know
your wants.
If you want an early convention at
which you can readjust your lines for
the battle of 90 you should make your
wishes known to the members of the
Executive Committee from your Con-
gressional District. 1t wouldn't be
amiss for the chairman of the different
counties to call meetings at once and
appoint delegates to attend the State
Convention whenever it is called. If
we are going to make fight in '9s we
ought to be sup and doing" right now.
The present legislature is going to
hack and haggle about the convict
lease, the educational interest and 9th
er reform legislation, and do nothingV
We ought to be ready to take up the
fight where they leave off, and press
these N alters before the people while
the spirit is on-while the iron is hot.
We need the convention, to reinvig-
crate those who have been sick by the
fusion tactics of Butler, Allen aud
Weaver, and to kill any fusion germs
in the future.
The State needs the convention to
prs vent the ''men who control" from
trading the rights of the people for q
mess of pottage from the pie counter.
Every county should hold meeting
within the next 80 days. MAC.

A solid fusion was forced in all the
counties in Kansas this year except
nine, and the result of the election
shows that the oppos ton to the Re-
publican party has registered d loss of
5000 votes. In counties like Elk
where the Populists in years gone by
have been able to elect their entire
ticket when they stood up and fought
. straight, middle-of-the-road fight,
this year, with fusion ticket, they
were wiped off the map and the Re-
publican ticket elected This means
something. What is itP Simply that
the people have no earthly use for the
rotten old Democratic machine, and
that when they are forced to embrace
1t, they will rebel and kick out of the
traces. When fusion is banished for
ever by the Populists of Kansas, the
state will come back into line as a
Populist state, choose clean men as it's
standard bearers and become so thor
ougly Populistic that all the powers
of the Repu olicau party and it's twin
relic, Democracy, cannot prevail
against it--Girard World.

an easier position to fill than that of

work, more idle time and better pay.
Somebody dn't want him on the Rail

vacancy on the bench of the Supreme
Court for him and rendered it to him.
Harris, being man who knows what

and considerable self-respect when he
declined to be used as foot mat.

Hal Lewis. Lewis wanted a position
On the Railroad Commission, just as
Harris did, but the Governor wouldn't
give it to him. Lewis wanted to be
United States Senator when Bacon was
elected, but the Legislature, forrea-
sons not necessary to state, preferred
Bacon. Ever since the nomination of
Bryan by Lewis at Chicago, Halls
friends have been wanting to give him
something and Hal, it appears, had no
objection, in 1gct Barcas was willing
He is now Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. Gov. Atkinson has
appointed him and he has accepted.
He will make a good one. He's got the
brains, the pluck, the ability-and the

But why he would lay aside law
practice that paid him twice the salary
of judge-a law practice that was
growing as the people became acquain-

to assume more onerous duties for less
pay must be relegated to the "Serbo-

the legislature cannot afford to deny
to the people the right to express their
will on this important question.
We have some curiosity to see on
what line the opposition to Senator
Hopkins's bill will be made. He will
be an ingenious man who can present
an argument against it, aud he must be
bold man who defends the present
plan of electing superior court judges
and olicitors.-Atlanta Journal.
The Savannah Press calls attention
to the fact that judges and solicitors
general are fiocking to Atlanta from
all parts of the state since the bill tc
provide for the election of such officers
by the people has been favorably re-
ported.
The presence of these gentlemen a.
the capital may have no connection
with the pending bill, and we hope il
has not. If there is one thing certain
about the state of public opinion in
Georgia it is that popular elections fol
judges and solicitors is demanded.
The Savannah Press says:
1.-The feeling has been growing fol
seve al seasons that election by the
general assem- bly, is vast mistake In
the light of the trades, mbinations
and abuses which crop out during
every session of the general assembly
where these elections are carried on
the people of Georgia have been seri.
ously considering change in this re.
spect 1t will be remembered that the
constitutional amendment increasing
the number of judges OF the supreme
court was never ratified by the people
at the polls until the election of these
judges was placed in the hands of the
people themselves. This was straw
which showed the trend of public opin-
ion in Georgia. The election of judges
and solicitors take up great deal OF
time of the earlier session of each gen.
eral assembly. 1t is impossible to
transact business while these crowds
are present and these elections impend-
ing.
1.-The amount of trading in votes and
shifting of combinations in the last
elections opened the eyes of the PEG
pie, aud, we trust, of the legislature.
The present method, fixed in the con-
stitution of 1877, has been found cum
bersome and unsatisfs ctory. The best
possible judic' airy is that appointed by
the governor, if that official is always
a man who selects men on account OF
fitness and CHARACTER. But as politics
too often creeps into the executive
office it was thought necessary by the
trainers of the present constitution to
take the appointive power away from
the governor and place it in the general
assembly,"

shylock Can't Stand Before Good Gov

A statement of great interest, says
the farmers Voice, is that recently
Issued by Bank Commissioner Bridea-
thai of Kansas, in which he shows
that the farmers of that State will this
year pay off at least S25, 0'0, 900 of their
mortgage indie btedness and will release
about $40, ZOO, 600 more under the Kan
sas law that permits mortgagors to
make partial payments of 500 or null
tiples of that sum. After it has been
paid there will remain only about $780,
900 600 of the mortgage indeb edness
on the farms of Kansas, which in 1887
amounted to fully $3.50 00O0 900. The
people have prosper ed and reduced the
debts which had been stealthily fas-
tened upon them wherever they have
united aud turned the old party politi-
clans out of power. 1t is seen that
with the assistance of few wise laws
enacted by the people in their own in
terest, the looping off of superfuous
officials whose only service was to
pocket big salaries, the farmers OF Kan
sas, under Popuiist government, have
paid Fl two hundred million dollars of
debt in a very few years, thus saving
to the State at least twenty million
dollars annually. So it was here at
home in Paulding county. In the brief
space of four years the Populists paid
twenty thousand dollars of debt the
politicians had created, brought coun-
ty warrants up to par from IS cents on
the dollar where the politicians had
run them down to for the benefit of a
few spectators, and had seven thou
sand dollars in the treasury when the
politicians wormed themselves back in
to power and celebrated the event by
an increase in the tax levy on thirteen
thousand dollars more property to levy
on than the Populists had. The poll
ticians always look out for their own
welfare; If the p 4ople are So smart as
the politicians they will promote their
interests by dispensing with the SER
vices of the professional politicians
everywhere as tbev are largely doing
in Kansas.-Dallas Herald.
