The Kansas Populists,

The Belleville (Ill.) News Demo
crat, in recent issue, prints the
following under the above head:
ave plead guilty having a great
deal OF admiration for the Kansas
Populist. He comes perhaps, nearer
to possessing the fearless spirit, the
rugged independence and the de-
fant iconoclasm of the revolutionary
fathers who hated kings and broke
the idols of despotism and gave to the
world the priceless boons of liberty
and equality. That same detested
Kansas populist has, as a rule, de-
voted years to the study of economic
questions, where the ape who imi-
tateS the silly twaddling of hireling
Eastern newspaper mendicants has
yet to learn that a science like
political economy exists. Where
the latter fawns and cringes and
crawlS, the Kansas Populist bowls
with fog horn voice charged with
evidences of rich, robust and vigor
GUS manhood. The bowling Kansas
PoPulist cannot be coerced, bull>
dozed, 5ullyragged nor driven.
He never ticks the dust nor is he
subject of nor lackey 10 the richest
nor the most profusely titled man on
earth. He is peer, possessed of
pluck and individuality, even if he
does wear a SLOUGH hat, long
whiskers, overalls and jumper and
rawhide boots on sockless feet. We
confess We have liking for him.
We sometimes think he is the real
patriot"

From The Kansas City Times
Here is the political horoscope tor
1900:
President, William J, Bryan; vice
president, Charles A. Towne; plat
form, free coinage of silver; govern
ment sole issuer of money; direct
legislation.
Whether We like it or not, free
silver imperiously insists upon being
the text of political discourse. Silver
is in everybody's mouth and out of
everybody's pocket. Silver doesn't
seem to worry nor be ashamed OF
itself because it "isn't broad enough
to be national issue" The silver
tide just rises-all flow and no ebb.
This is how it is now out among
the people, and this is how it will
continue unless some great event
shall whirl things into space and
change the map of the nationwide

| am not at all disturbed by the
present tumble of parties, or the
Jangle of factions. The war OF
words must 90 on, and this or that
clique will declaim that real reform
Can not come except via their
cherished programme. Sincere de-
votion will heroically strive to get
the whole gamut of national needs
into party platform, and will labor
to wake the mighty chorus from
Atlanta to the sea. And none Of
such devotion, and none of such
effort will be lost. Sometime all
that is essentially good will get it
self into human government. Let
the talk roll out, let ihe education

Longs Latest Deal.

W. E. Stanley of Wichita, has de.
cided to make fight for the Republi.
can nomination for governor and has
come to an understanding with Ches-
ter L. Long and his supporters in
Barber and Kingman counties. This
arrangement for mutual support, nee
cessary on Longs part on account of
the A.P.A. fight on him in Sedgwick
county and the statement of C. H.
Luling, a Republican politician of
Wichita and president of the A.P.A.
State league, that every council in
the Seventh district will be instructed
to work for Longs defeat. After
Longs refusal to iEdorse Newt.
BFidgeman, the A.P.A. candidate for
the Wichita postOtfice, Luling gave it
out that Long would never be nom.
mated again if the A.P.A. could de-
feat him.
"When Long made his first race for
congress" he said, "there were only
eight councils in the district. There
are fOrty-twO now, well organized, and
we will be against Longs renomina-
tiOn. If he nominated we will fight
him till the campaign is overs
Tiis movement also helps Long to
get rid of ex-senator o. H. Bentley as
candidate for congress. Bently was
in fair way, by uniting the A.P.A.
element in Wichita with the dis
gruntled politicians who wele turned
down in postoffice fights, to secure a
delegation from Sedgwick county
which would be against Long, if not
for Bentley. Judge BOtkin has come
from Hutchinson several times to
confer with Bentley and together they
have polished the situation down to
naming the men who will be anti.
Long delegates from all the counties
in 'Botkin's, as well as judicial dis
trict, and from Reno aud Sedgwick
counties.
Longs agreement with the Stanley
men is his first movement TO hedge.

If Brown Of Pratt" wanted to make
fight now on U. S. Senator H iris,
he should have commenced il on the
first day of the last session of the
legislature. Senator Harris introduced
his railroad bill, which sidetracked
the house maximum rate bill, the first
day Of the session and about two weeks
later Mr.. Harris was given additional
prestige by ele5ting him US. Senator
to succeed Mr.. PETER. Brown ofPratt
wants to succeed Jerry Simpson in
congress and charges up the defeat of
the house maximum freight bill to
Senator Harris and Congressman
Simpson. As far as Simpson is con-
cerned Brown OF Pratt is mistaken. as
Simpson never did oppose maximum
freight legislation. In our opinion it
will require much better man than
Brown to defeat Jerry Simpsons re-
nomination to congress next year.

representatives and senators is GER

representatives and senators is GER
tainly unjust and unwarranted.
The third charge is an alternative
one. Mr.. Brown says that the rail-
road bill Senator Harris introduced
twas drafted by bevy of railroad
attorneys" and then evidently per-
ceiving that he had made a statement
he could not prove and that would
hardly be accepted on his word
alone, he adds cor they had the
privilege Of reversing and amending
it,"
Now the facts N regard to the
Harris railroad bill are that the
senator devoted much time after his
election to its preparation; and not
only that but he sent Mr.. Joseph E.
Riggs, a prominent attorney of
Lawrence, to Des Moines, Iowa, at
his own expense, to study the work
ing of the Iowa law and interview
the commissioners of that state.
The Harris bill was by no means the
bill | wanted, or that l thought the
people who elected the majority of
the legislature had a right to demand
OF it; but it contained the same pro-
vision as the Hackney amendment
sought to introduced in the house
a provision empowering and direct
lnglthe railroad commissioners to
make and put in force schedule of
maximum rates. Had the Harris
bill been enacted, instead of the
committee bill, it is not probable
that there would have been any
veto. The whole bill was a copy OF
the Iowa law with the exception of
one section added; and this is per-
haps the most stringent railroad law
now in force in any state in the
union. The assertion Mr.. Brown
makes that the railroad attorneys
drafted or fixed up such bill is not
a reasonable one on its face, and
seems to be supported by nothing
In saying what l have for Senator
Harris, | have been actuated BY a
sense of justice. l was not one of
the original Harris men in the sem
atorial caucus; | supported maxi,
mum rate bill, instead of the Harris
bill or the committee bill; l Joined
with other senator's in protesting
against the bill that was vetoed by
Gov. Leedy; and I WAS not at ali
pleased with the treatment of nv bill
to regulate Pullman car rates re-
celved at the hands of Senator
Harris committee. But cannot
allow any feeling may have in re-
gard to that matter to lead me to en-.
dorSe such extraordinary and un,
warranted charges as Mr.. Brown
makes against Senator Harris.
