Without intending it, Lebbeus 3. Ward

bid that has yet been framed. He shows
that by accepting this supply, in prefer
ence to the present contract with the
East Jersey Water Company, the city

years to pay half the cost of the plant.
His argument is embodied in a letter

Some Rank Demagoguery.

Last week the Clay Center Dispatch
printed column Of names, alleged to
be those Of old soldiers for whom Con-
gresham Vincent had secured pen
sions and made it an argument for
his reelection. The Clay Center
Times punctures its claim thus:
ut is a dishonest claim the Dis
patch makes for Congressman Vim

lot Of pensions he had no more to 40
with than have hundreds OF ordinary
citizens of the district who did moth
ing but express their sympathy A
few in the list were allowed before he
went to Washington at all, but the
great majority were secured BY pen
sion agents who. individually and
alone, worked up the evidence and
made good the requirements OF the
departments. All that Congressman
Vincent did in most cases was to
direct a page to carry a little slip OF
paper over to the pension department
asking the status Of q certain case
which simple action gave Mr. Vincent
''record." Any man in Clay coun-
ty or in the Fifth districtOcould have
done as much real good as did Mr..
Vincent in most instances. The
whole claim with the list as brazenly
printed last week is the cheapest,
most transparent, nerviest piece OF
business ever attempted in higher
politics out this way. It's disgrace

Growth in Exports.

David Overmeyer in his Pop speech
at Marion last week told with tears
how protective tariff has ruined our
export trade. The Kansas City Jour
nal spoils it by giving a few facts.
This table has to do with the exports
by four.year periods, and it is COM
piled from figures given by the treas
ury department:
lss1-4 president Arthur, ....... S,2l6WO,O 600
1868 president Cleveland, So. 2,SS',0OO,O 900
1sS0-a2 president Harrison).. 3,8lS,OOO, 900
1858 8 president ClevelandD. ... 5000, 900
1878 president Mckinley. 2,3l2,OOOO 900
The Mckinley, administration is
given for but two years. II the same
ratio is maintained for the remaining
two years our export trade will show
grand total of $4,624, 900, 0OO or an
increase Of $l,196, 100000 over the
last Democratic administration. Dur
ing Cleveland's first term our export
trade fell off 1888, 100000 from what
it had been under the Arthur admin
istration. During Cleveland's second
term 1t fell off $3.50, 900, 900 from what
1t had been under Harrison's admin
istration. In other words, every
Democratic administration this coun-
try has had for nearly forty years
witnessed falling off in our export
trade, and every Republican admins
tration gained not only over its Dem
ocratic predecessor, but also over
what had been accomplished under
Republican policies in previous ad-
ministrations by that party.

Another Army Scandal.

Another terrible army scandal has
been unearthed. A yellow paper
printed tn other day horrible story
Of how a soldier was thrown into a
coffin while yet alive and suffered
torture until just as he was to be
buried when he was discovered to be
alive and was roughly dumped out,
dying later from the treatment.
When the authorities at Washing
ton read this story their Indignation
was aroused to high pitch and an
investigation was begun immedi-
ately.
Inquiry at the hospital revealed the
fact that no soldier by the name
given in the story had died at the
hospital, but that such man was a
patient who was rapidly GONZALES
cling.
The reporter was questioned and
said soldier had told him the story
as had written it, and gave the
authorities the name Of his inform
ant.
Before ordering a court-martial,
which was practically decided upon,
the investigating officer sent for the
soldier and asked him why he had
circulated such an outrageous false.
hood.
The man admitted that he had told
the story to the reporter, but added
he had also told the reporter that he
had dreamt 1t.
Thus ended the investigation Of one
Of the most horrible outrages Of the
war.

Here is little testimony on public
meetings from an independent paper,
the Atchison Globe: "Mr. Stanley
spoke at Turner hall in Atchison, and
was greeted by full house. The at
tendance was double what it was at
the recent meetings at the same hall
under the auspices Of the iusionists. v
1t is the same in Dickinson. Both Of
the only two meetings held in this
county by the Populists have been
failures. Boyle's great afternoon
meeting here tizzled and in the even
ing there we're only enough to barely
fill the court house seats, perhaps
200; Botkin at Herington is said to
have talked to less than 20 people. II
was such a failure that the Pop papers
did not mention the meeting.
