The Same Man.

The way those farmers who have decent
crops this year are paying off their mortgages
gives the lie to the Republican howers of the
Topeka Capital stripe, who have for years been
seeking to create the ,inpre sson that our farm
ers (and they constitute the rank aud file of the
Populist party) were a lot of repudiators and
only studied how to avoid paying their debts
These farmers who the Capital now praises so
vociferously are the identical Grangers aud Al
lianec men who i'll 1880, 90, '91 rose in re-
belion against the eastern shylocks aud formed
PROFESSIONS from five to fifteen miles in length,
marching into every considerable village and
town in the state, proclaiming their resolution
to free themselves from the cred dragon'' Of
Wall street.
1t was then that the Capital got in its work
and submurged the sevolting farmers beneath a
food Of deMunciaton, invective and billings
gate never before cqualed.
But the farmers were true to their purpose.
They lived close to the line of bare existence.
They pe1sisteds they refuse to add another
ceut to their Indebtedness.
They toied day and night,
They garnered such hasvests as came to them
and began getting out from the clutches of the
tgreat red dragon"
This year in nlaav parts of the state they
have been rewarded by big crops ei wheat and
better prices than usual,
They are taking advantage of this and push
ing the debt paying feature Of their resolution
Of go to the limit
Strangely enough, the Capital and papers of
that ilk are in ecstacy over the "honesty" of
the farmers and their zeal to pay up, and are
constantly inviting Wall street and the world at
large to notice what splendid lot of deht-pay-
ers the farmers of Kansas are.
They carefully conceal the fact that these very
farmers whom they would now cover with glory
are the despised 'per capiter" farmers that
made the prairies of Kansas jingle with her
protests against the "great red dradon" in go
and 81.
Exactly the same men.

WHERE THE MONEY WENT TO.
Republicans Free With the States Money.

Some interesting facts are coming to the sur.
face in connection with the deficit in the state
treasury Just before going out CT Office last
January, the Republicans resorted to almost
every scheme on the calendar to use up the
funds on hand.
One item of $5,967, for instance, it is shown,
was expended in having 900 copies of the ad
jutantgeneral's report for the year 1894 re-
printed Governor Leedv says that he knows
of no earthly use for the reports, except that
they furnished all excuse to the Republicans in
making raid OH the treasury He also in
sists that IS 90 copy is an outrageous price to
pay the state printer Tor the reports.
There is another item of SIG POI. .o4, which
was audited January 9. This money was also
paid to the state printer. 1t went for IL, 900
copies OF the tenth biennial report of the state
board Of agriculture, reprinted On the same
day bill of $4,673.6I for miscellaneous
work was allowed the state printer.
About this time also the Kansas City Stone
Sidewalk company drew IS 900 from the treas
ury for sidewalk around the state house
grounds.
The large Withdrawals of money during the
last few days of the Republican administration
has led to an investigation, which promises to
bring many interesting things to the surface

POpuIiSt Voters, Take No
tiCc.

ut does sure enough look, :" sadly remarks
the editor of the Fl Dorado Industrial Advocate
as he looks over last years election returns,
'as if the Democratic whale had swallowed the
Populist fish, Perhaps this lesson will teach
those Popuists who voted tie Democratic ticket
last year some sense.-EN.
The fact that the Populists last year voted
the Democratic ticket instead OF their own was
a great blunder, and is the cause OF the Popu-
list ticket having the third place on the ballot
this wear The law SAYS that the party casting
the largest number OF votes for the highest Of
flee voted tor in the county at the last preceding
election shall have the first place on the ballot,
and the party casting the next largest number
shall have the second place, and so on, arrang-
ing the tickets on the ballot in the order OF the
number of votes cast by each party. The lea
son the Populist were urged to vote the Demo
cratic ticket last year was TO avoid the possible
mistake of voting the so-called middle of-the-
road Watson ticket, and thus cast half vote
for the Republican ticket instead of the Bryan
ticket This act came losing the Popu-
lists a place on the boot this year in some
counties. While the Democratic and Populist
tickets are exactly the same this year, so far as
candidates are concerned, and differ only in the
party appellaton or name at the head of the
ticket, yet it is quite important that every Pop
uiist vote his own party ticket and thus avoid
any complications concerning the placing of
their ticket on the ballot when it properly be-
longs in the first or second column. We thus
preserve our party independence and indvidur
atty, Populsts, vote the Peoples party ticket.
Don't fail to do this. .-Olathe Tribune.

State Insurance.

Among the recent Associated Press dispatches
from Germany is the following:
The government is preparing bills providing
for compulsory life insurance throughout the
whole empire and for old age insurance for the
laboring classes.
Commenting on this the Milwaukee Advo-
cate says: Gone of the best posted and most
prominent men in the state has figured that state
life insurance, figuring interest and everything
else as it is now would cost about four dol
lars year to each person in order to insure
each head of family three thousand dollars at
death.
'"The statement may be wrong-it looks pre-
posterous--but if we had state insurance, it
would certainly cost more than nominal
sum to insure either life or property.
"Suppose we had fire insurance by the state
BY increasing taxes not to exceed IS cents on
the $Ioo---probabiy not more than 10 cents
every piece of property in the state could be in
sured. There could be fire coroner in each
county, who,e duty it would be to lnpanel
Jury in case of fire, and just as the coroner to-
day holds an Inquest in case of sudden death.
Investigate the cause and assess the damages if
no incediarism was committed by the party who
sustain-d the loss
'Many millions of dollars that are now paid
to home and foreign money sharks, additional
millions that are now wasted for Office rent,
printing, advertising, canvassing, etc., would
be saved, and every person would rest secure
against loss in case OF conaagration.
"There would be no appeals to charity, no
need Of begging to help unfortunate sufferers i'm
such case and the loss would hardly be felt"

Please Answer.

In the last summer month of 1891, at
meeting of the Young Mems Republican
lie; que Of Kansas, held at Topeka, commit
tee of nine, composed of sx lawyers, two ed
iors and one banker, were appointed to Issue
an address, which sets forth the reason for the
manifesto as follows:
, CAT the recent state convention of Republic
an Leagues, the undersigned were appointed a
committee to prepare an address designated es.
pecially to refute the ISLANDERS upon the state OF
Kansas by the advocates of the People party"
In the body of the address are these words:
'''Our debts stand for our investments, and
not for our losses. They represent our enter
prise, and not our misfortYnes; our property,
and not our poverty"
In the face Of such lying demagoguery and
hypocrisy, will some Republican please tell US
what the payment ofssosniany debts in Kansas,
this year, stands for? Will some hoodlum Re-
publican who is bowling that prosperity is here
please apswer2-Ft. Scott Lantern,

From The Kansas City Journal, Rep.
TOPEKA, KAs., Oct. 24.-(Special). What
has become of the books of the defunct Gar
nett State bank? This question is bothering
the mind of District Judg, Riggs, in whose
court the affairs o. the bank are being wound
up, and it will be the subject of a judicial in
vestigalon this week. Judge Riggs will go to
Garnett, Tuesday, and says he will stay there
until the books produced or he sends sew
eral people to Jail
The Judge was i'll the city, to-day, consult
ing State Bank Commissioner Bredentha

he to the bank commissioner, i'll the presence

I shall follow the advice of Deputy Bank Com
missioner Waterman, who examined the re-

Wind up the aft ,irs of the institution speedily
In his report, Deputy Waterman had the fol-
lowing to say, under the head Of general re-
markSi

the receiver for the following reasons: He is
