Some Populist Logic.

pltIllCS III Iut Cuuhty. ~ 10 q" az
tempt to galvanize into semblance
Of animation the Peoples Party corpse
which was laid ont last winter at To-
peka by the stupendous and unblush-
ing boodleism that dsgraced the
state. 1t is thought by the bosses
that by getting the farmersout in the
woods and then jumping up and
down before them on plank speakers
stands some OF the excitement OF the
Alliance craze Of 1890 can be simu-
lated. Tie leaders have evidently
forgotten that the records of Lew
cling, Willetts, SNOW, Van Prather,
Gaines, PETER, Lease and the rest are
still fresh in the peoples minds; they
fail to take account Of the ruin Of the
State Agricultural College, of Doodle
ism in the legislature, Of prostitution
of state funds and institutions for
private gain, of incompetence, extrav-
agance and rottenness beyond any ex-
perience Of this or any other state.
In spite Of all this the spell binders
are trying to fool the people and the
picnic route is the particular method
they have adopted. At these picnics
they make speeches. The farmers
who were told last fall that McKinley's
election meant 70 cent wheat are cur
ious to know what the Pop takers
will have to say--and It is really an
interesting study to note the double
reversible, ball-bearing, back action
construction Of their minds.
A picnic was held out in Rucas'
grove near Holland last Saturday at
which one j. NJ. Senter, a clerk in the
railroad commissioners office at Tope-
ka, and that astounding businessman
and financial genius whose brilliant
record in Abilene has so dazzled the
world, John X. Lane, were the speak
ers. OF course they poured balm on
wounds Of their Populist brethren,
and assured them that Mckinley,
Mark Hanna and the Gold Standard
had nothing to do with the rise in
wheat. This was a decided relief to
some. They told the dear people
that the demand for wheat was the
cause Of its high price, thus repudia-
ting their own arguments made last
fall, that the law Of supply and de-
mand had nothing to do with prices.
They did not mention its relation to
silver.
They also said 80 cent wheat for
The farmer meant starvation for the
Eastern laborer; that high price for
wheat meant hardship for the wage
Garner. In the same breath, almost,
hey roared that II Bryan had been
elected and we had free coinage OF
silver, wheat would be now worth
$3.50 per bushe. they did not men
ion the condition of the wage.earners
lnder such circumstances.
At another gathering farmer who
vas skeptical was called aside and
old that farm hands are getting too
much now and that it was wrong for
wheat to be so high, as the farmers
IRE making too much money.
Sometimes one wonders If these
Pop spellbinders who go out into
country neighborhoods and spout
such stun are knaves or just simply
10 not know any better. The latter
$ the more charitable view and prob
IDLY the one taken generally. The
posses compel the poor fellows to
make the speeches whether they with
% or not and they just have to fill in
he time.

OPIUM N MEAT BLOCK
KAPPA WAS TOO CLEVER FOR a
Willy CHINESE.
One Way of Hiding Opium-A Chinese
Dive Raided by the Police-Two
Men Arrested.

Everybody who knows. Detective
David Kappa is well aware that he is
natural born sleuth but that he pos
sessed the faculty of looking clear
ly surprised even his most intimate
associates.
1t was in this way.
For several days reports kept com.
ing in at the police headquarters Of
the prevalence of opium" in Chinese
dive on Maunakea street. Each time
the rumor had been carefully investi-
gated by Kaapa's men. 1t was not un-
til Saturday night that KAPPA decided
to include the reported dive in his
usual night raid on evi, doors in
Chinatown.
The place was invaded during the
earlier part of the evening. The
moment that the cunning eyes of the
Celestials caught sight of KAPPA there
was CONSERVATION among them. Ka-
apa remained motionless in the center
of the room with his eyes riveted up
on a Chinaman who had the air of
proprietor. The scrutinizing look of
the detective worried HIM. He began
to get fdgety and nervous and at last
picked up a heavy block of wood and
flung it out of the window.
Kappa went after it. Upon investi-
cation he discovered that there was a
false door on one side and that the in
side was filled with opium. The block
was used as a meat cutter. Two of the
Cinnamon were taken into custody. At
the police station they gave their
names as All Fat and Hunhui. They
were booked for having opium in pos
session.
