"SrAND by Nc Kinley" is the long
drawn out and doleful wail of the
republican speakers 1t echoes over
the prairies of Western Kansas like
the howl of a poisoned coyote, and
rumbles down the valleys of Eastern
Kansas like the moan of lost calf.
"Stand by the president" they say, as
if anybody wanted to hurt our good
president, Mack. Why, you poor,
deluded partizians. every democrat,
every ropulist. every free silver re.
publican in Kansas rel ices that free
America has proven herself capable
of taking care of herself against all
comera; every anti republican voter
in the land is proud of the success of
this country in its little scrap with
Spain and willing to give credit to
our president for all the good and
wise things he has done during the
conduct of the short war. But what
has that got to do with who is best
fitted to conduct state or county af-
fairs? It can't be that you mean by
"standing by our president" We must
gain turn Kansas over to the con-
troll of the school book trust, the stock
yards trust, the coal mine owners
combine, the railroad and insurance
corporations? In standing by McKin'
ley" must we turn down McNall, and
Boyle, and Stryker, and Leedy, and
all the other men who have bravely
stood up for the rights of the people
against corporate greed and avarice?
People who cannot ge out of To-
peka any other way are going ont by
the suicide route. Four suicides q
week is the record -Hoisington Dis j.

more people want to get out of that
beastly republican town, or We miss
our guess Because all the rest of the
state is going democratic

because so many young folks in the

DUEL AND ITS CAUSE.
Two Men Lie In Precarious Condi-
ton at Louisville. XIV.


Louisville, KY, Feb. IA desperate
duel was fought with knives and pis-
tolls between George Voght and Arthur
Waldron at Fourth avenue and K
street. Fred Voght, the son of George
Voght, was also drawn into the en-
counter. AS Il result Waldron is lying
at the city hospital in a orecarious con-
dition and is not expected to live. Fred
Voght is at the Gray street infirmary,
badly wounded. and the elder Voght is
in Jail charged with malicious shoot
ing.
The primary cause of the trouble was
a murder case tried in the Jefferson
county court about eight years ago.
The elder Voght was up charged with
murder and the father of Waldron was
one of the principal witnesses for the
state. In consequence a bitter hatred
has always existed between the two
families.

HARDSHIP ON THE WEST.

The senators and members from the
mountain states are opposed to the pro-
position to extend Yellowstone park,
and hostile to any further forest re-
serves. Senator Cannon says: I'VE of
the west are made to pay a double lum-
Der tax by the timber reserve plan.
Congress imposes a duty of 81 per 1000
feet on lumber. Then it refuses our peo-
pie permission to cut their own stand
ing timber. This means that they can
not build houses without importing the
lumber from some other state. The
visible lumber supply for the mountain
states is in Washington and Oregon.
These states are protected against Can
adam competition by the 81 duty and
against competition with the mountain
state timber by the timber cutting or

have on Oregon man in charge of the
