The next chapter, page 4OI, IN an
act providing for the assessment and
taxation OF the property photograph
and telephone companies, another
class OF property amounting to many
thousand dollars that has escaped
taxation until the Peoples Party
came Into power. This was law
passed making the property OF these
corporations bear their Just proper
ton OF the taxes, Why did not the
Republicans pass such u law? Be-
cause these corporations were their
friends.
THE BANKING LAW.
Everywhere today there Ia moth
ing but good words for the banking
law passed by the last Legislature
(See page 9S). Drawn by n Populist
bank commissioner, John w, Brel-
denthal and passed by Popullst
Legislature It has brought the bank
Ing interests OF the state under con-
troll and added to the security OF
every man or woman who has dol
lar on deposit.
GRAIN INSPECTION LAW.
Every farmer in the state who has
had grain to ship has protested In
the past against the system whereby
his grain was inspected and weighed
not by dlslnterested parties but UNI
der the direction Of the boards OF
trade and grain gamblers, Theiarm-
ers could get no relief however until
the Peoples Party legislation came
into power when by one stroke (See
page 300) this power was taken
away from the boards OF trade and
vested in the state where 1t belonged.
STOCK SHIPPERS LAW,
The small farmer who has but a
single load OF cattle or hogs often
feels that 1t would be to his interest
to market his stock himself but the
railroad companies put up u bar
against the small shipper by refusing
return transportation to the shipper
OF n single car OF stock. This injus'
tlce the last legislature corrected by
requiring railroads to furnish return
transportation to all shippers thus
putting the small iarmeron the same
basis with the heavy shipper. (SeC
page 3DO,
ANTITRUST LAW.
An effort was made by the last
legislature to check the inroadf
the trust system IL making and n law
was passed prohibiting the iorma
ton OF such institutions In the state
OF Kansas and providing penalties
for violation Of the same.
FEES AND SALARIES LAWS.
Three laws were passed by the last
legislature directed against the sys
TEN OF fees and salaries, The first
one, page 273, reduced the fees and
salaries OF county officials and com
pei u record OF all fees collected. The
second, page 2l5, put the Clerk OF thu
Supreme Court on salary and re
quired him to account to the State fol
all fees collected. The third, page
POI, required the Clerks OF Appellate
Courts to account for the fees they
collect,

ATTORNEY GENERAL BOYLM

ATTORNEY GENERAL BOYLE.
The heroism of David OF old doeN
not compare with that Of Attorney
General Boyle. David fought only ono
giant; Boyle has fought and vanquish-
ed score, He has met no Waterloo.
Every battle Of his has been an Auster-
litz or Marengo, His hardest fights
have been where humanity was weak
eat, He has brought hope where there
was despair and turned tears into
smiles.
SUPERINTENDENT STRIKER.
superintendent Stryker raised tho
standard of public education, He sepa-
rated the wheat from the char. He
drove the drones from the hive and as
serted the doctrine that no one but a
scholar can teach the children OF Kan
sas, His unwayering fidelity to hon.
esty drove the American book trust
from the state and saved the people
hundreds of thousands Of dollars. In
three months he accomplished what
the Republican party, during the sew
enteen years Of It's greatest power fail~
ed TO do.
WEBB M'NALL.
Superintendent McNall fought twen-
ty battles against the insurance corpo-
rations and won every one OF them. He
smashed the insurance trust and saved
the people hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars thereby, He took the insur-
ance swindler, whose prey was tho
widow and the orphan, by the throat
and made him settle up. He has turn
ed more money into the treasury than
any superintendent In the history OF
the department He defled the assum-
cd power Of federal judges and today
he has all his enemies on their knees
craving for mercy.
In the eighteen months ending juno
80, 1893, the insurance department COLI
lected and turned over to the proper
parties the sum OF 1888, 3G3,7S, as COM
pared with the sum of $l16,733, col
lected during the entire two years OF
the Morrill, administration.
JOHN PRUDENTIAL.
Commissioner Breldenthal has OUT

rant and prejudiced financial combine
and has made every state bank In
Kansas walk the chalk line. The de-
posters now know that II bank fails
II will have something more than the
paper Of Republican politicians for as
sets. His administration Ia a guaran-
tee of security which no deposltor will
doubt He has converted the banker
from politician to what he should
be, business man.
SECRETARY BUSH.
Secretary Of State Bush wiped 5000
fake corporations off the records OF the
state and made the balance come to the
front and prove that they were legiti-
mate and trustworthy. He did It
without fear or favor,

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
The railroad commissioners have
saved thousands Of dollars to the poo
pie Of the state In the case wherein
the hundred pound rate on cattle was
wiped out a saving amounting 10
thousands OF dollars was secured and
there are plenty Of similar cases.
" THE SUPREME BENCH.
kfThe Populist judges have the respect
Did confidence Of the bar and the peo-
Vie The supreme court is a tribunal
that Is above suspicion for the flrst
time in a great many years with the
exception OF the time David Martin
was a member OF 1t, He was n Re.
publican in politics, but q non-parti-
san on the bench.
THE STATE CONVENTION.
All good things, however, did not
come from officials. The Populists In
the ranks have done things, At the last
state convention they demanded the
abolition Of the metropolitan police
system and like q true public servant,
Governor Leedy established the prlnci-
pie Of home rule upon Its ruins.
1t declared for constitutional con-
vention to remodel the rule and guide
Of law. Only one man in seventy now
living in the state voted for the consti-
tuition that governs them.
II declared for state insurance at
cost. While insurance companies have
been taking several dollars out OF the
state in premiums for every dollar re-
turned In losses, II has become appar-
ent TO the people that protection could
be obtained through the state at
great deal less cost than under tho
present system.
It declared for the operation Of
stock yards by the state at cost. BY
this means II Is intended that the ex-
cessive charges now being paid BY
shippers shall be reduced to the actual
cost Of operating the yards
II declared for better labor laws for
the protection Of the man who forms
the base Of the real greatness Of tho
state.
II declared for reform in many other
ways; reform that interests the citi-
Gems who want Kansas to be the first
state In the Union in progressive gov
eminent.
1t demanded railroad legislation OF
a character that will injure no railroad
employee, no railroad company or
citizen. A law that will be fair to all
and legitimately beneficial to ALL Pop

enemy to the man who works for q
livelihood and no railroad employo

IT'S MISSION NOT ENDED.
The mission Of Popuism is not yet
ended and will not be ended until fair
play, fair dealing, complete equality,
complete security and indiscriminate
justice shall prevail permanently. To
these ends continuation of public
confidence and public cooperation In
implored.

MINNESOTA BOYS
OFF FOR MANILA
Four train loads Of Minnesota
young men passed through
here Tuesday morning.

Every since it has been known that
the Minnesota volunteers would be
sent to the front, the movement of
companies has been watched with
great interest. It was expected the
regiment ordered to Manila would
pass through here Sunday, but sup
plies not being furnished the soldiers
the start was delayed until Monday.
1t was the intention of the people
here to give the boys as they passed
through here, renewed encourage
ment by demonstration of consider
able size but on account OF the un
timely hour the plan conld not bt
carried out, but there was large
number of people waited at the de-
pot all night to see the train pass
and greet some of the boys from this
place. Those from this county wh<

held up for their study. Had I the
apt pen of Ian McClaren might
bring out some of the rich beauties
OF Robert McCune's character. In
the short time he labored with us, he
was rapidly uniting and building up
dismembered church. He was rap
idly recreating a reverence for Gods
house and the religion of Jesus
Christ among the young men of our
village, to whom religion had become
a laughable farce, owing to the mode
OF worship Of some religious sects
which had labored in our town. His
courtly, dignified appearance on the
street commanded respect and i'm
PEELED young and old to doff their
caps to him. His deep spirituality
and inense earnestness in the pulpit
had it's fruit in the deep interest and
close attention of the audience. He
was ever polite and courteous to all.
AS good "listner" himself, he expect
ed, demanded and received the clos
est attention from those he addressed
Being SO we'll informed along all
lines and having had such wide ex-
perience, he was ever ready to give
SONS good Thought on any question
under discussion. His devotion to
Congregationalism was only surpass-
ed by his devotion to Christ. He
preached the good old gospel in all
its simplicity. So intense was his
desire to proclaim Christ, that after
receiving the reluctant consent of his
physician, he preached his last Scr
mon to us while seated in an easy
chair on his rostrum. AS he sat there
and spoke to us with voice preg-
nant with emotion, it almost seemed
as though the baptism of the Holy
Ghost had been poured out upon him.
It may have been his white locks
play n3: upon his temples; it may
nave been the CLINT of the morning
sun upon his features: the tremor in
his voice may have been due to his
physical weakness. I say it may
have been due to this but l think
that the whole indescribable effect
was the result of the holy spirit
which had taken possession OF the
man. [ noticed young men went
from the church that morning with a
thoughtful expression on their faces
and that they trod reverently rs they
left the building. There appeared
to be holy quietness in the saluta-
tions of the congregation that morn
ing, which said plainly ''Surely God
is here"
To sum up the mans character I
will only say He was loyal citizen
a loving husband and father, a
thorough gentleman, profound and
logical reasoner, an entertaining con
versationalist, faithful friend and
consecrated pastor whose only re-
gret at death was his inability tc
labor longer in the Masters vinyard
where 40 much was to be done and
s Iso few laborers to be had.

if your kidney be affected, you have a
pinched look. SEIZURE good health, and
you will surely have g00c looks,

ROADS ON THE FARM.
Why They Should Be Improved with
Quite as Much Care as the
Public Highway.

In the consideration of better high.
ways it is well to remember that it is
not these alone hat assist in promot-
ing the welfare of the farmer. 1t is a
good thing, and a very important thing,
for him to have a hard, permanent road
to town and to the railroad station;
but, in working to ecure this, the farm
er comes to realize how bad are the
roads Cracks or paths would be a bet
ter name) about the farm, over which
he is continually hauling loads.
In his daily work there is manure to
be hauled to the fields, and hay and
other crops to be brought back, over
roads that receive the name by cour
tesy only, and which often are much
worse than the highways. Paths with
deep ruts, lined with stones, are COM
mon on farms. On them wagons are
strained, aXles sprung and teams
abused and made balky by the execra-
BILE conditions of work. Men are gen.
orally more careless about. the condi-
ton of the roads on the farms than
about the public roads; but they suffer
from them more constantly, and in the
end to as great an extent as from the
bad condition of the market roads.
If good highways are profitable to the
farmer, good farm roads are equally so.
To make them permanent, the small
stones gathered from the farm can be
used, after the top soil has been taken
off for use in n of the many ways in
which it can be advantageously en-
ployed on a farm. The road must then
be arranged so that water will drain
off easily, as nothing is so injurious to
a road as moisture. \ few inches of
gravel spread over the stones will in
sure a good, serviceable highway.-L

Six Rest Winter Annlen,

The best six kinds of apples for fam,
ily use in winter and for market as well
are the King. Spy, S~pitzenburg, Bald
win and Greening, for sou apples; and
for sweet apples, Pound Sweet for early
use and the Belle Bonnie for late use.
This last apple is a great keeper, Of
most delicious quality and a great bear
er. 1t is an old Connecticut fruit and
has been crowded out of sight by in
ferior sorts. To this list might be added
Hubbardston, Nonesuch and Seek-No-
Farther as apples almost sure to return
clean crops. 1t is remarkable how well
these apples resist the attacks of in.
sects and fungi.
