TWO NEW" CANDIDATES.

THIS week two good men, one
each from the Fourth and Fifth
District announce themselves as
candidates for the Office of county
commissioner in their respective
districts. In neither case is the
man seeking the Office, butt is al
the request of representative citi-
zens within the limits of their
district that each have consented
to make the run. In the Fourth
District the friends of w. L.
Drury consider it as wise action
on their part and deserved COM
plimemt to that gentleman to
urge his candidacy for county
commissioner. In the Fifth Dist
riot the residents of Olga township
have decided that they are right
fully entitled to representation on
the county board and have picked
on II. G. Golf and old resident,
fair-minded citizen and success
full business man as their prefer.
ence for the Office. With all due
respect to other candidates in the
field, including the present in
cumbents, We can fairly say that
the record of these two men is
sufficient to warrant their being
placed in charge of the commits
sionership of the Fourth and
Fifth Districts. There are no
better men in the county-none
who will do more sfor the county
or look better after it's interests.

THE KANSAS WIZ.

Strange news is coming out of
Kansas these days. In fact, very
little news that isn't strange
escapes the quarantine of the Sum
flower State.
But the latest bit of information
pertaining to the trend of affairs III
Kansas is so remarkable as to be
worthy place among the curious
happening of the year. 1t is that
Kansas farmers actually are en-
ploying shotgun as a means of en-
forcing their privilege to pay their
debts. 1t is questionable in all
business transactions if the man
who insists upon paying his note
before it falls due is not as bad 3
debtor as the man who has to be
sued. But as Kansas usually defies
all old rules and set up new stand.
ards, under which they have pros
pered very we'll, this doubt should
not apply them.
These reflections are occasioned
by the conduct of Butler county
farmer in the bustling Kansas
metropolis of Eldorado. The
farmer went to bank there
Saturday and told the cashier that
he desired to pay off a $500
mortgage on his farm. The cashier
looked up the mortgage, and
finding that it was drawing 9 per
cent and was not due until next
February, told the farmer that it
would have to run to that date.
The farmer thereupon laid the
$500 on the counter, pulled out a
bulldog revolver, laid it beside the
money ana SAID that ne was going
to pay that mortgage. This was a
new sort of hoId-up to the cashier;
but what was he to do? It was
either accept the money or make a
hasty preparation to 60 to that
bourne cages. So he delivered up
the document and took the coin.
If this had happened in any other
state than Kansas there would be
q lawsuit over the transaction.
But they do things differently out
there. Populism and dollar
wheat is too strong combination
to fight.

GOOD INVESTMENTS.

A North Dakota correspondent
of an eastern agricultural paper
writes an interesting letter which,
while the estimate of the aggregate
crop of the state may be slightly
exaggerated, will serve to show
the world that North Dakota is
rot asking odds of any state in the
union when it comes to average
prosperity of it's residents. The
letter says in::part:
Our harvest is over and thresh-
ing has progressed SO far that we
can tell about what the results will
be. The average Of the state will
be about thirteen bushels per acre,
aggregate about 100000 bushels
of wheat. That will bring into
North Dakota, if present prices
continue, about s35,000,00C, after
deducting seed and sufficient for
bread for the state for wheat alone.
Our commissioner of agriculture
and labor computes that the pro-
ducts of this state for 1897, ex-
elusive of the profit in manu-
featured goods and mercantile
transactions, will give over $500
to every family in the state, or
about $500 per capita. Had the
promises of the early part of the
summer been fulfilled, our receipts
would have doubled, but even with
this we can fairly challenge any
state in the Union,to comparison
That North Dakota IS prosperous
is evidenced by the fact that there
is constant stream of people
coming in looking for investments
and home, and yet we have room
for thousands, who can leave pow
erty in the east, and with industry
and good management come out
and become independent in short
time.

BRTANS POPULARITY.

A good many republican papers
are fond of asserting that the silye,
issue is dead and that Bryan il
played out. We may admire thei,
zeal, but can't hardly commend
their judgment. tits poor policy
to under-rate the enemy, and the
phenomenal crowds which gathe,
to hear Mr.. Bryan wherever he
speaks indicate that he still has 6
hold on the public which cannot
be ignored. Whether it is due tc
his attractive personality or to the
fact that free silver has strong
hold on the public mind, it makes
Mr.. Bryan formidable political
factor, and it will be we'll for those
who expect to beat him if he hap.
pens to run for president again
not to forget it.
He spoke at Kansas City on the
9Th, and according to the associated
press report, 10000 people gather.
ed to hear him. The crush was sc
great that fences were broken
down and many people we're in.
jured. The eagerness of the null
titude can hardly be attributed to
curiosity, for Bryan is we'll
known figure in that region. he
has been speaking throughout that
section for years, from the stump
and the platform and it is probable
that everybody who is in the habit
of attending public meetings has
had the opportunity of hearing
him more than once. It is only
since he became representative of
the cause of what he calls col
metallism," that his popularity,
his defeat at the last presidential,
election, and the slump of silver
and the rise of wheat, do not ap-
pear to DO able to kill. This is a
stubborn fact to be reckoned with
and tho wise politician will reckon,
with it and endsavor to analyze it
whether no is supporter or an
opponent of Bryan and Organism
friend of free silver or of sound
money.-Minneapolis Tribune.

PROSPERITY OR LDLENESS.

II re " EdCTS.

Since silver was demonetized in
1873 it has lost the silver produc-
ers 800, 000,00O,MO. Ithas lost the
wheat growers A,000,00O.000. II
has lost the corn growers 100000
100000. It has lost the cotton
growers S., 100000, 900, making a
grand total loss to the people of
the United States of $4I, 100000
600, an amount almost beyond
comprehension. Now if the farm.
ers could have saved this loss on
wheat, corn and cotton it would
have wiped out $I9,000,0O0,OO OF
mortgages on the farms. and all
branches of business would have
been that much more prosperous
And all this loss has been caused

SCHOOL .MO.NEY LOANS.

It is said there will be q renewal
of the proposition for the state
school land board to loan school
money on farm mortgages and the
matter will have serious considera-
ton soon. In Indiana and possibly
in other states, It is stated, the
counties are made responsible by
the law for the interest and prin-
cipal Of the amounts loaned,
through county boards Of apprais-
al consisting of the commissioners
treasurer and auditor. The i'm
preston seems to prevail at Bis
marck that under the law which
would govern the looming of the
school funds in this manner, the
expense, to say nothing of risk of
loss, would be more than the in
come derived. Under sufficiently
careful restrictions there seems to
be no good reason why the school
fund surplus could not safely be
loaned as far as the return of the
principal is concerned. but it is
doubtful if in the end the expert
ment would be profitable over the
present plan of getting interest for
idle funds by the purchase of
public securities.
The fund from which loans
could be made consists wholly of
revenue from the sale or rental of
lands given the state by the govern
ment and its investment is nota an
easy matter in the channel which
is now prescribed. jamestown

Boston, Jan. 1.-THE Globe today
publishes a lengthy letter from a spec
ial correspondent sent to Pinar Del Rio
to substantiate the reported death of
MaceO. and to present the actual facts
bearing on the situation among the
insurgents in that province in Cuba.
The letter was sent from San Cajento
on Jan. l. and at the outset says that
unless assistance of many kinds come
to the rebels in this province within
the next month or six weeks, there will
be no rebels to assist
Rivera, who has not received any in
timation that ne is TO succeed Maceo. is
practically in hiding on the northern
coast with his force. who are without
ammunition and without hope. prae-
tically. General Rivera warmly greeted
the writer, and discussed at length the
situation. The best of what he said fol-
lows:
Il do not wish to cTiticise our friends
IN the United States. We here in Pfnar
del Rio have been sOmeW hat neglected.
We have been depending upon our
strategy and knowledge of the province
TO keep US out of serious trouble We
have dynamite sun and two shell
pieces, DuJ Tor some time since we have
not had ammunition Tor them. We
are not in need Of men at all You
may think this a strange statement
as YOU look about and see me in COM
mdnd of only few hundred. But in
Cuba the whole native population is
with US. and L am confident an army
OF $4,000 could be placed in Havana
province before winter IS over. if We
had but the arms and ammunition to
give the men, our Cubans are brave
ana patriotic. and willing to die for our
republic, but they are not crazy enough
TO face an enemy's bullets with empty
hands. Tell the American people to
give us 10000 rifles and a supply of
cartridges and we viii whip hell out OF
Weyler and MS trocha.
The force with which MaceO entered
the province has not been killed off
by the enemy 1t was disbanded be-
not be handled with advantage TO our
selves. AS it is. l am able to keep
10000 or $4,000 troops of the enemy

Gus loss. The enemy has concentrated
all his attention upon this province,
and While we have not suffered i'm the
lasting way we have demonstrated
that we could remain i'm the province
and fool a big army and many gen
erals. While Weyler has directed all
his efforts against US. Gomez has been
well preparing for his march west

that the Cuban leaders are ready TO treat

emphatic in the statement that the Gu
