no fealty to this selfish junta that proposes
telling the Republicans of Kansas what to do.

Quite number of Republican papers are
making kick against bossism in their party;
and doubtless they really desire to rid the party
of its barnacles However, the bosses are in
the saddle, and they will dictate the ticket (al-
though they may appear to be in the back
ground), and these kicking papers, or editors,
will swallow the tait, hook and all, as they
always do.-E0ITOR

The Small Farmer Doomed.

The American farmer who imagines that he
can escape the fate of all small producers when
placed in competition with organized industry
backed by unlimited capital, should read the
following from the Knoxville Tribune and then
sit down and thnk-if lie has ANYTHING to think
with:
"The largest farm in the country, aud prob
ably in the world is situated in the southwestern
part of Louisiana. 1t extends 100 east and
west. 1t was purchased in 1883 by a syndi.
cate of Northern capitalists, by whom, it is still
operated. At the time of its purchase its r..
500 900 acres was vast pasture for cattle belons-
ing to few dealers in that country Now it is
divided into pasture stations or ranches, exist
ing every six miles. The fencing is said to
have cost $50, 900. The land is best ADAPTED
for rice, sugar, corn and cotton. A tract, say
half mile wide, is taken, and an engine is
placed on each side. The engines are portable
and operate cable attached to four plows. BY
this arrangement thirty acres are gone over in
a day with the labor of only three men. There
is not single draught horse on the entire place,
if we except those used by the herders of cal
tie, of which there are 10000 head on the
place. The Southern Pacific railroad rur
through the farm. The company has threa
steamboats, operating on the waters of til
estate, of which 800 miles are navicable I
has also all icehouse, bank, ship yard and ice
mills"
In less than ten years farming will be revo
lutionized. The small farmer will be crowde
to the wall His mortgaged farm will pass ii
to the hands of a farming syndicate, and if h
is lucky he may be permitted to work for SINAI
wages on the land lie once owned. This is nc
a prediction--it is fact.-New Time.

Count TOlStOi'S Theory.

New YORK, Nov.-Count Tolstoi, who has
been for many years one of the most famous So
cial reforners in the world, his position in the
sight of Russia being altogether unique, now
seems to abandon the peculiar features of his
own ideas of community ownership of land in
favor of the single tax theory of Henry George.
The following cablegram from him appears
in to-day's Journal
"London, Nov. 2.-Henry George has fornlu-
lated the next article in the program of the
Progressst Liberals of the world. l admire
his spirit, which was so christian; his style
which was so clear and his metaphors,
which were so striking. His ideas will spread

have the whole land held by the community,
cultivated and owned in common. But when
explained Henry Georges idea they all agreed

be appropriated without dishonesty, without
compensation, as matter OF principle; but as
matter OF eXpediency I think compensation

Gscaton." LEO TOLsTOI"

A Confirmation

1t will be remembered that, last summer,
when it became known that the Walcott COM
mission was having unexpected success, Presi-
dent Mckinley suddenly became anxious to
have National Monetary Comm ission appoint
ed, and was with difficulty restrained from send
ing special message to Congress on the SUBJ
ject, even after he had been told that doing so
would prevent the passage of the Dingley bill,
and did SO Immediately upon its passage, at
though he knew it would not be acted on.
We then called attention 10 the fact that the
natural effect and, therefore, the evident in
tention-of this course was to neutralize the
representations of the men we had sent to Eu-
rope, because it would be accepted abroad as a
notification that he Intended to insist upon
maintaining the gold standard, and we de-
nounced such conduct as perfidious. We did
this with great regret, because we had held
Maj. Mckinley personally in such esteem that
we had not believed it possible he could do SO
base deed
But Mr., Adams statement shows that the ad-
:ninistration did even worse than we then sup
posed. 1t will probably be denied, but all the
known facts iii the case sustain Mr.. Adams
statement, aud it now looks as though Maj.
McKinley's Presidential record will break the
record for unsavoryness Cleveland's course
was infamous, but he simply followed his brutal
nature, while Mckinley, whose instincts are
right, has gone wrong because he is too weak
to disobey the men who made him President
and to whom he looks for re-election.-To-
peka Independent.

AS Taylor Sees 1t.

Hannis Taylor, ex-United States minister to
Spain, delivered all address on the Cuban ques-
ton, at Cornell university, last Friday, and
was heard by more than 2 900 people. The
audience was strictly in sympathy with the
speaker, who said i'll part:
"Events are moving fast, and no man-not
even the president-can stop them. No real
statesman ever tried to avoid crisis by turning
his back upon it, or by self-deception If the
president makes the fatal mistake of attempt
ing longer to muzzle congress by putting his
imprimatur upon false hopes and empty illu
sions, before the ink is dry upon his message,
events will discredt all his predictions.
"Let congress but speak the final and en-
phatic word-Recognition- in ninety days
the long and bloody tragedy will be over, the
whole Christian world will rejoice and say
amen; Spain will b. rescued from an impossible
situation; there will be no war with the United
States; Cuba will be free

Cotton Prosperity.

We notice the price of cotton has not gona
up to correspond with that of wheat, and yet
the conditions are very much alike. Repors
from all over the country show short crop,
and the farmers of Carroll, all we have seen,
corroborate other reports by statements of the
condition OF their own crops. 1t is estimated
that there will not be over 40 per cent. of an
average crop gathered in Georgia. 1t is very
hard TO understand why, under the circum-
stances, the price should continue so low. If is
evident that the cotton grower was not includ-
ed in the prosperity program at all-Advocate,

Anarchy in High Places.

The hold which the corporations have on
some OF the leading dailies of this nation was
strongly illustrated after the recent wholesale
massacre Of unarned men by the sheriff and
his deputies at Lattimer, Pa, Even according
to the statement put out by the sheriff himself
after he had caused the murder of mole than a
score of unarmed men there could be 10 pos
sibe excuse for the wanton and brutal butchery,
while the condition of his clothing and body,
no less than the testimony of the principal and
assistants Of the Grammar schoo, and others
who witnessed the massacre, proved the story
of brutal assault upon MS person TO be false.
The fact that the men were nuarmed and that
almost all OF them were shot in the back, and
that the shooting continued when the poor
creatures were mady fleeing for their lives
demonstrated still further the brutal and bar
barous character of this massacre; and yet III
the face of these facts many organs of the cor
porations praised the brutality and glori6ed
murder The New York Sun, which has re-
Gently gonc over to the Republican party, in
its zeal for its masters and its frantic desire to
be counted worthy by the soulless corporation

TALLY brutal utterances OF some of the leading
papers of this country in the presence of one of
the most stupendous crimes of this generation
should be enough to rouse from lethargy every
American who has particle of respect for the
sacredness Of life or the rights OF men. The
battle which is Oh between the corporations and
the people, money and manhood Let the ed
itors and owners of those daily iornals which
are the slaves OF corporate greed prate no more
about law and order. They have outraged hu-
manity, and in the interests of their soulless
masters have sold their birthrght fo- the mess
of pottage which the corporations are ever ready
to give those who aid in enslaving men. They
haye either justified or praised wanton murder,
and have defended crime which is essentially
anarchial and destructive of all respect for JUS
tice, humanity and order. Unlike fabled Her
cules, they have deliberately put on shirts steep
ed in the poisoned blood of Nessus. Go where
they will say what they may they can never

dation or clean themselves from the foul poison
with which they have wrapped their soulless

GOVERNMENT ARMoR PLANT.

liSh 1t.
The armor producing companies having
declined to furnish the Navy Department
the arnr6r needed for the three battle ships
now building at the price of $500 ton.
fixed by Congress, Secretary Long has
taken the second step in the line marked
by Congress and has called upon the ship
building companies themselves to submit
propositions for providing and fitting the
armor. One of them. the Union iron works
of San Francisco. has already responded
declining, like the armor companies, the de-
partmentS invitation.
There is little doubt that the others will
make like answers, although there Is a
small chance that some of the shipbuilding
companies may combine to secure the con-
troll of one of the plants which the armor
makers profess their readiness to SELL and
turn out the armor they need for the ships
in their hands. If, however. as is expected
all of the shipbuilders' replies are unfavor-
able. Secretary Long will proceed one step
further and appoint board of officers to
carry out the direction of Congress and
frame a plan for the establishment of
government armor plant.

Will he Sent to Halifax.

Secretary Long has ordered the big bat
tie ship Indiana to Halifax TO be docked
and cleaned. 1t is felt to be necessary 10
do this IN order to prevent injury to the
hull Of the ship from corrcsion. The de-
partment would have much preferred to
send the Indiana to Port Royal, 8. c., for
this purpose. but the opinion of the best
navigators in the Navy Department was
that 1t would be decidedly risky, I'm the
present unsatisfactory condition of the ap-
proaches to the dock there While The
naval officers naturally deplore the ueces-
sity for thus sending one of our finest ships
to foreign dock, they say the practice is
not new nor uncommon. She will not be
ntted with bilge keels at Halifax. This
work must wait until the repairs are COM
plete at the New York dock, a work which
1t Is estimated will consume a year.

BUSY TINES At NEW HAVEN
New Tarfn Sets the Factories Gotu
mt Once.

A dispatch from New Haven, Conn. saws.
No sooner did the tariff bill become law
than the almost dormant industries of New
Haven gave unmistakable signs of revived
activity. The New Haven Clock COMPANY,
which since the passage of the Wilson law
has been only running spasmodically. this
morning gave notice to its large force of
employees In the movement department that
they would be expected to work thirteen
hours day until further orders.
The company recently received some very
large orders conditional upon the passage
OF the tariff bill. and this increase In the
number OF hours from ten to thirteen a day
at remunerative wages is the result.
The l.. Candee Rubber Company is an
other enterprise to manifest the effect of
the settlement of the tariff question. Its
1,SOO employees were put on full time this
morning. The company reports some
heavy orders and is hopeful of brisk busi-
ness for an indefinite period.
The two big corset concerns, Strouse Ad-
Ter & Co. ard Newmans, which have been
sailing close TO the wind and with a re-
duced force for some time, also went on
regular schedule time today full-handed
Sargents vast manufacturing industry in
hardware specialties reports a favorable
outlook, but as the head of the concern Is a
free trader. the company Will not admit
that the passage of the tariff bill has had
anything to do with the improved condition

Il do not think it possible that any op-

United States will take any more extended

OF Japan in those islands may not suffer

Many careful housekeepers are insisting
that the water used for drinking purposes
be boiled during the autumn, when fevers are
apt to be prevalent. If the water is boiled
daily and regularly it is very little trouble.
