Republican Pledges Kept.

One feature OF the discussion OF the
Dingley law which attracted much at
tention was the protests from foreign
countries, which were more numer-
GUS than in any preceding tariff dis
cussion, and which were pointed out
by those opposing the protective
tariff theory as an evidence that the
adoption Of the new law would result
in the loss OF our trade with those
countries. As the countries making
those protests included nearly all of
the leading commercial nations Of the
world, the effect Of the adoption Of
the protective tariff in the face OF
these protests has been watched with
much interest. In nearly every in
stance our sales to those protesting
countries have been greater since the
adoption Of the Dingley law than in
the corresponding months Of last year
under the low-tariff Wilson law, the
total sales to the fourteen countries
in question being nearly $3.50, 900, 900
greater in the first ten months Of the
present year than in the correspond
ing months Of the preceding year.
The importation Of wool in 1897
was Sl2,94l, 900 pounds; in 1898 the
new tariff law cut it down to 1884,
$4,000 pounds. The effect Of the
improved conditions among manu-
facturers and oil our foreign market
has been felt by the farmers not alone
in the increase in the price Of wheat,
but in the price Of practically every
article which they have to sell, while
In many articles which they must
buy prices have fallen.

Dangers of Matrimony.

1t is getting to be dangerous
thing to get married in this city. No
couple for months has dared stay in
town the night after the wedding
ceremony II there was any social for
mality attending the event. But 60
ing away is nearly as bad. There is
a wild chase to the train, the deluge
of rice and the possibility Of broken
ribs resulting from old shoes hurled
at the innocent and embarrassed pair.
At recent wedding not only was
this done but all the bride and groom's
baggage was tied with white ribbons.
1t is even limited that some liberties
were taken with the contents Of the
satchels. An Enterprise couple the
other day was escorted to the train
by a banner reading ave are just
married and so happy" This with a
cute high chair was carried on the
train and put near the bridal couples
seat. 1t was fun for the perpetrators
but alas for the modest and shrinking
objects Of so much attention. 1t is
not exactly known what would hap
pom II a prominent couple should get
married here and stay in town-there
would probably be riot or something
Of the sort. Matrimony has become
positively dangerous and only brave
and hardy spirits can be expected to
enter upon the severe trials attending
it. Things should not be so-the
way Of the bridal couple should be
strewn with roses instead Of brick bats
and they should be showered with
good wishes instead of with musty
rice. As things are, however, about
the only way to escape trouble is for
the bride and groom to leave town
separately a few days before the we'd
ding, have the ceremony take place
30 miles away-and then never come
back. /

The Women's Share.

These are days when the brave
Kansas women are doing their full
share in helping along on the farm.
A man who drove across the county
yesterday says he met 30 teams and
only one was driven by man. The
others were in charge OF the wives
and daughters Of farmers who we're
taking milk to the creameries, going
to town after Irvine, taking supplies
and food to the harvesters and doing
all in their power to assist in the har-
vest. One woman was driving a
binder, several girls were riding lead
horses on harvest teams and every
where was there evidence that valu-
able help was being rendered in the
management Of outdoor affairs, not
to mention the house cooking in hot
kitchens for harvest help.
TO the Kansas women is due all
honor for their untiring labors. They
have helped build the homes and pay
for the farms, they have struggled
and scrimped and toiled that the
mortgages might be wiped out. If
some Of the men OF the county had
the energy and push of their wives
and daughters they would be a hun
bred times better off.
For their work not alone in the
harvest but all the year round the
women should have some new rock
ing chairs for the house, some shade
trees for the yard, proper protection
over the doors to keep out the nerce
summer heat, new dresses and II
possible few days Of outing when
harvest is over.
The average farmers wife works
too hard, she deserves much and
should have all that can be given her.
Kansas owes much Of its greatness to
her self-sacrifce. May her path
grow easier and happier as the years

LLOYD & N0TT0RF,
Calls It Betrayal.

Not only did the Dickinson county
delegates at Atchison vote against the
remarkable proceeding Of the Demo-
cratic convention in endorsing all the
Populist ticket but the party in this
county seems to back them up in it.
The Abilene Democrat reads the riot
act in this iorcible language over the
title democrats Betrayed:
The so called Democratic conven-
ton which met at Atchison last week,
and slobbered and lallygagged with
and over the Populists, was one Of the
most sickening puppet exhibitions
ever given in the State. 1t was a
transforming burlesque on a farce
comedy. The chief performers, Love,
Atwood, johnson, Overmeyer, Billie
Pepperill and the usual supes and
roustabouts didn't have their lines
properly committed and had to be
prompted by telephone from Governor
Leedy's office.
Barney Sheridan, Joe Lowe and a
few others who went there to attend
a Democratic convention we're SO
thoroughly disguised that they left
befor the bum "thing" was out 1t
was noticed that they refused the re-
turn checks that were rendered them
as they passed out. The meanest
thing about the Demo.Pops and Pops
who had charge Of the show was they
called tia Democratic convention. To
show their contempt for Democracy
they put on burlesque. The Demo
cratic state convention will be held
later on, and genuine Democrats not
ake-believe burlesque transformers,
will have control OF it.
As there are at least a dozen other
Democratic papers in the State, sew
eral Of them in this district. which
are talking the same way 1t will be
seen that the sell.out was not COM
plete success.

The Oregon Democrats.

Democracy in Oregon mas been fus-
ing with the Popullsts since 1890 and
at last the Pops have absorbed the
whole party. The process has Been
going on in Oregon until in this
months elections the Republican ma
jority over the "allied forces was
greater by nearly 50 per cent than
any Republican majority over the
Democracy alone before 1890. In 'SS
the Republican vote was $4,000, in
'92 it was $4,000, in '94 it was 41,00O
and in '96 it was nearly $4,000. The
Democratic vote in '88 was $4,000, in
'9S it was $4,000, in '94 it was 1900
and in '96 and '98 it was swallowed
up in Populism. The largest Repub-
lican plurality in Oregon over the
Democracy was 6,769 in 1888. This
year the Republican majority over
fusion Of Democracy, Populsm and
free silver "Republicans'' was 1854.
The same result may be expected in
Kansas. People like party that has
some principles Of its own and even
the Democrats will vote for Republic
can candidates rather than be sold
out without even mess Of pottage in
rnturn

By careful process of illogical
reasoning the News has at last entered
the same binding Irvine hole out of
which it came three weeks ago. In
finding that certain prepared prod
ucts for Irvine have a tariff of one
cent pound it omits the provision
that this is only when the material
comes from countries that tax Amer
lean products of the same kind. The
entire tax OF this kind amounts to on
ly about $1,000 year for the whole
American nation. This was shown
to the News two weeks ago but Of
course it will not be fair in its argu-
ment. Tariff-for.revenue papers don't
argue that way.

Albert Griffin explaining the beau

the Populists will win them votes all

votes it will win them the respect and
confidence Of voters" And II it fails
to win them respect and confidence it
will probably win them an over
