Tuesday evening of last week FIRE.
broke out in some manner oabout $50
O'Clock in Sam Thomas livery barn,
and the whole business was consumed
in short time. The barn stood north
of the Santa Fe depot, and just across
the street from Fairs Rlmber yard.
Only the heroic efforts of the citizens
saved the latter from destruction also.
Mr.. Thomas lost the buildipgsQ most
of the vehicles, harness, and six head
of horses. This is the second time Mr..
Thomas barn has burned down, and
the third livery barn to be burned in
Eilinwood in as many years. Ellin-

A Friend in Need,

The Cimarron JacksOnian is one of
the exchanges we always prize. We
can always find something original in
the Jacksonian worthy of reproduction.
Here are some of the good things Bro.
Garten gets off last week:
The next to rolling off log, the
easiest thing is to Tell other people how
they should bring up their children.
DO not think for an instant that you
are Indispensable. There are hum
dreds, perhaps thousands who can take
your place and do even better than yoa
are doing.
And there are others. If you lose
the risk you are after-there are others;
if you're duped by liars rare, don't
succumb to fell despair. nor your under
garments tear-there are others. If
your friend deserts and mocks you
there are others; if your best girl flirts
and shocks you-there are others; you
are not the only jay who has been
treated in this way. and you can al
ways gaily say-ther6 are others.
Every business has its ups and
downs and the average publisher of a
newspaper is no exception to the rule.
says Press and Printer. This week
you print an article; some man gets
mad as blazes and orders his paper
stopped. The same article pleased
others and they resolve to subscribe.
In the next issue of the paper there is
an article which the man who stopped
bis aper would not have missed for
several times the subscription price.
He then becomes borrower of the pa
per from his neighbor, and wonders
how it continues to exist since lie
discontinued his subscription.

As to Fusion.

A meeting of a number of leading
ka last week for the purpose of discuss
ing the political situation in Kansas,
and apparently to decide upon what
course should be pursued by that party
in order to secure uniting of all the
forces of the state opposed to republi-
canism of the pres ent national standard.
AS it was purely a meeting of Populists
it appears to us that few leading
democrats who gathered there at the
same time and if newspaper reports
are correct-demanded certain things
of the populists, was little premature,
and will be inclined to elicit the
antagonism of conservative democrats
throughout the state. So far as we
are informed, no man or set of men,
either in the popuhst or democratic
ranks. is empowered to say what the
voters of the state desire to do this
year.
Our individual opinion is that there
should be an open meeting of represen-
tatives of the democrats. poPulists and
silver republicans, such representatives
selected by the voters themselves for
that express purpose, at which plans
for a uniting of all the forces opposed
to gold monometallism should be de-
oil oonh
sented fair and honorable representa-
ton on the state and congressional
tickets.
1t is true that the populists adjourned
their conference to meet on the I2th
inst, at Topeka, in joint conference
with democrats and silver republicans,
but the date should have been a month
or so later, and the place Of meeting
should have been nearer the central
part of the state and more easy of
access to men from all localities.
There is no doubt but that the voters
who ioIned forces and male a victo.
rious fight in Kansas in 1896, under the
leadership of Silver's great champion,
William ]. Bryan, desire continuation
of such companiouship this year in or
der that in 1900 the cause of bimetal-
lism may be made even stronger than
in 1896. But such combination of
forces must be made by the PEOPLE,
and not by self selected leaders. We
L
our noble cause. The issue must be
one of principle, not of men. "Come,
let us reason together" and let US do
it with the laudible and patriotic end
in view of Strengthening the cause of
bi-metallism and freeing our glorious
land from the grip of gold. Let US not
quibble over local state issues or over
individual political aspirants. Success
will crown the efforts of THE PEOPLE if
directed FOR THE PEOPLE.
