Bryan broke entirely loose from bis
Democratic moorings at Topeka Fri
day and anchored in the waters of
Populism. In speaking to the Pop
legislature he said: ave must make
these states which we now control
shining lights in the galaxy of states. "
The Kansas Legislature is doing that,
William, and as a first requisite is
filling the offices with its relatives
and creating new ones for those I'M
provided for. Oh, yes, Kansas will
shine like gold.

The Eldorado Republican prints the
following bit Of history: Kansas men
were the first to force a rebel to haul
down his flags, and the first flag cap
tured in the rebellion from the south
erners was by Kansas company. On
April y, 1861, Fort Sumter was fired
upon. On April IS, the steamboat
New Sam Gaty" arrived at Leaven-
worth flying the rebel flag. An i'm.
mense crowd at once gathered on the
levee and In short order the captain
was forced to haul down the traitor
ensign and hoist the stars and stripes.

Chicago is seeking to solve the de-
partment store problem. 1t is claim
ed by the small retailers that they
are being forced into bankruptcy and
they want a prohibitive tax levied
upon such concerns. 1t is not only
the retailers Of Chicago who have been
feeling the demoralizing effect Of big
department stores but the merchants
of towns like Abilene are hurt by their
competition. We believe that if the
banks, express offices and post Office
department would give up their
secrets not less than 25 per cent of the
trade of each county goes to these big
city department stores.

Dispatches from eastern states tell
of the reopening Of mills which have

the running hours Of Others which
have been in operation are significant.
The bank clearances recently reveal
steady gains over the corresponding
periods u months earlier, and the
figures of the commercial agencies

prediction Of the croaker that the
post-election revival Of business would
not last is being gloriously unfulflled.

G. c. Clemens, the new supreme
court reporter, has addressed an open
letter to the legislature in which he
severely condemns the proposed re-
duction in salaries. He predicts the
death of the Pop party if the salary
bill which has already passed the
senate becomes law. The bill pro-
poses cutting the salaries of his
two clerks to 1920 per year, for which
amount he says competent men cant
be hired. He winds up by threaten
ing to resign. Clemens gets upon the
right side of a question once in a
while.

Joe Bristow has traced the origin Of
the Populist party to the time of Job,
which shows that Methodist educa-
ton may at times be useful as well as
ornamental. 1t will be remembered
that Job was down in the Third ward
Of the capital Of Uz one day talking
politics or religion or something Of
that nature with Bildad and lot Of
the other agitators, when the Lord
appeared to him and said: "Who Is
this that darkeuoth counsel by words
without knowledge"

Hon. Z. l.. Wood, the Populist
leader OF Texas. was in Kansas City
at the Midland last week and was in
terviewed by the Journal. He has his
own ideas on the political situation,
and is free to express them:
There are at least $4,000 Populist.
In Texas who think somewhat as do,
and who supported Mckinley" be
said yesterday. "These may emf
crate with me to a warmer climate
than Texas some day, but will never
return to the Democratic party. We
do not believe there is much in the
free coinage Of silver-except to the
mine owners-and only accepted it at
first as a substitute, hoping that it
would hold the Northwest in the Pop
ulist party; but as soon as this con-
stituency discovered what seemed to
them a chance to get silver through
another party, they LAY down on us.
If anything has been demonstrated in
American politics, it is the incom-
potency Of the Democrats to run the
government, and in our judgment
four more years Of Democratic admin
istration would have been infinitely
worse than any standard or no stand
ard.
1.-The Demo-fusionists can force the
party into an assignment, perhaps,
but can never deliver the 'middle-of-
readers to any trustee who will hold
them for the use Of the Democratic
party; and whenever it is necessary
for the followers OF the notorious
hundred and three TO take their
choice between the Democrats and
Republicans, | honestly believe that
80 per cent will 60 with me into the
Republican camp"

DR.. Buckley's declaration at the
New York Methodist preachers meet
ing last week that he "did not believe

have such an opinion, but it startled
his hearers that he should give ex-
preston to it.

When there isn't any more places to

body. The 161 members have 265
persons to wait on them and help

fore let us make their stay in that

TWO MEASURES.
Ono Of Which Should Become Q Law
Kill the Other.


The legislature has now before it
many bills for its consideration. Some
Of the measures should become laws,
while others for the best interests Of
the state should DO relsgated to OBJ
livion from which their authors should
never have emerged. One Of the mer-
itorious bills was introduced by Sena-
tor Hanna to prevent the fraudulent
manufacture and sale Of filled cheese
and artificial butter. The measure
has passed the senate and should be
passed by the house. The opponents
Of this bill contend that it will iniure
the cattle industry Of the state. There
is no ground for this objection. The
cattle industry Of this state does not
need to be protected by fraud and de-
ception. The dairy interest is an i'm
portant and growing one and should
not be subjected to the unfair compe-
tition Of bogus compounds, made to
initiate cheese and butter. Oleo but
ter is manufactured largely from cot
tonseed oil. Neither tallow nor butter
enters largely into its composition.
1t is base fraud and ought to be sold
only under its true name and in such
form as will prevent the ueceiving Of
consumers as to its true character.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat gives
the formula for making filled cheese
as follows:
"Filled cheese is made from the
bluest of skinned milk, to which
pork fatis added in the proportion Of
one to three. The havoring ingredi-
ents are bisulphite Of lime, borax,
orris root, butyric acid, glycerine,
caustic, potash, slippery elm, and a
few other ingredients. Arich yellow
coloring material completes the deli.
cacy."
The legislature is making a record
at the present for killing fool bills
and one Of the greatest humbugs be-
fore it is the patent medicine bill.
This bill provides that before any
medicine can be offered for sale the
formula Of Its composition must be
filed with and passed upon by state
board. This would practically ex-
clude the sale Of patent medicines in
the state as the value Of all COM
pounds is in the secrecy Of its form
ula. 1t would cripple if not entirely
destroy many Kansas institutions
which are now furnishing the people
with meritorious remedies. The pub
lie protection nstinjurious patent
medicines lies in the druggist, drug
gists' associations and druggists
trade papers. They have done more
than legislatures will or can do to
destroy the market for injurious COM
pounds masquerading as valuable
patent finds in medicine. Patent
medicines sold by any reputable
druggist are really beneficial and none
Of them is harmful. In a recent is
sue drug paper exposed a certain
fake patent medicine which was being
advertised for $S dozen bottles and
is now offered for cents bottle
with no buyers. The Legislature can
well afford to let the reputable drug
gists Of the state handle the drug bus
mess without interference.
