A Fusion for Spells.

The democrats and silver repuh-
licans, or faction thereof, fused
1t were well, indeed, if some ele-
ment except Office had entered into
the negotiations. First the silver
republicans met and adopted a
creed, setting forth formally and
categorlcallv each item of their
political gospel. Then the demo-
Gratis set forth their canons. Then
without changing a word or
syllaoel in their platforms, they
coolly proceeded to a division of
the Offices. AS a result, if both be
elected, Edgar Wilson will 90 to
congress advocating free silver and
protection while Frank Steunen.
berg will remain at home to propa-
gate free trade and free silver and
this is called cooperation. 1t is
the established belief Of all honest
silver republicans that free silver
without protection would not bring
about a normal degree of prosperity
and on the other hand, the belief

Where is He At?

Edgar Wilson will find himsel
confronted early in the campaign
with the question of his exact posi-.
ton upon the tariff and all othe,
issues OF the campaign except sill
yer. His name will appear upon
two tickets as the nominee for con-
gress upon two platforms diametri
cally opposed to each other. On
the one hand he stands pledged to
a republican protective tariff and
the reciprocity of James G.. Blaine,
but on the other hand he is pledged
to denounce the republication
tariff as failure and to support a
revenue reform measure. Silver
republicans who are as good re-
publicans as ever they were except
only their position on free silver
would like to know just where
Edgar is att and democrats who
are not high tariff and reciprocity
men would be obliged to Edgar
tor some more specific statements
as to his position.
Mr.. Wilson has a recor d as a
strong protectionist having helped
to save Idaho by voting duty on
lead, wool and pruues. But a man
inconsistent enough to make the
race Tor congress upon two plat
torms SO opposite as the ones made
by his parties at Boise is not ex-
pected 10 be consistent enough to
abide by his record. MIR. Wilson
must look for his election to thou
sands of democrats who are op-
posed to his lead, wool aud prune
policy. He must concede some
thing to this large proportion of
his constituency. How much will
he concede. and what can he con-
cede, and still be "as good re-
publican as ever he was?'

Counted Twice.

The Lewiston Tribune has
figured out the plurality of the
fusion ticket at 5000 votes. The
main fault with the figures is that
III its effort to build up the hopes
OF the fusionists, it counts the dem
ocratlc votes twice. The Tribune
has evidently forgotten that about
5000 democrats voted the silver
republican or electors democratic
ticket two wears ago, and it will be
safer to bet on results If YOU only
count those democrats once, instead
of also counting them as voting
the peoples-democratic ticket of

Lewiston was on dress parade
yesterday and the general comment
OF the visitors was very favorable.
The magnificent resources of the
tributary country were we'll dis
played. All the hearsay evidence
concerning the products OF the val.
ley was confirmed by the splendid
display made in the exhibition
building. The visitors came, they
saw, they were convinced that the
halt had never yet been told. The
rich resources of the valley are n

charm in the genial and delight

,ion i'll the beyy of beautiful ladies
who were the browning glory of

Harvey County Farmers In
dulge in Combine Business.
Have Decided to Hold Wheat
For Higher Prices
ORGANIZE A UNION
For the Protection of the Poor
er Glass Of Farmers
Who Have Been Previously
Squeezed by Designing Buyers

Newton. Sept. 6.-Harvey county
farmers have inaugurated a movement
which has for its purpose the promotion
of a combine for higher prices among
the men who have wheat to market
this fall.
The matter is explained in a circular
letter gotten UP by William Finn, a
leading farmer Of Harvey county, and
which is suggested to be the rule for
all. Portions of the letter follow:
AN assessment will be made of 2
cents per bushel, or as much as may be
found necessary, to control the deliver
les of wheat from the farm. The OBJ
ject of the fund will be to loan money at
low rate to such farmers as may be
compelled to sell their wheat below a
paying price, and when necessary put
ting this wheat in store till the price
gets to a paying basis.
LAS an illustration: A farmer today
is compelled to sell his crop, say, 1000
bushels of No. 2. wheat. He can only
obtain in this section so cents per BUSH
el. Here the Union steps in and ad-
VanceS him so cents per buShel and Of
fers to store the wheat at the lowest
rate Obtainable. When the minimum
price at which the union has agreed to
sell has been reached, which at present
is So cents, they will advise sale. They
age, which in average cases would not
exceed 2 cents per bushel, thus insuring
him a profit of 10 cents per buShel more
than he would have had without the aid
of the union.
1.-THE wheat belt in each state will be
arranged in districts to conform to their
railroad facilities. They will all be
united in one office, each district to be
custodian of its own funds. Something
of this kind has been attempted before,
but never in this generation have con-
ditions been so favorable to the farm
ing community for such an undertaking.
Never has the visible supply of wheat
been so lOW-SOme 5000, 900 or 5000, 900.
Farm reserves almost completely wiped
out the big storage houses of this cOun-
try practically empty.
Farmers realize that with no re-
serves to draw from the present crop,
big as it is reported to be, must from
the start go into immediate consump-
ton They also realize that the prOpri-
etOrS of the great elevators at all grain
with 40 cent to so cent wheat at the
farm; that when once filled wheat will
be worth 81 per bushel in Chicago be-
fore wheat is raised again. They see
no reason, therefore, why wheat this
August should not at the farm bring at
least so or 65 cents per bUshel.
with plenty of resources of their
own, with no desire to make wheat IN
reasonably dear, with a determination
usually go to comparatively few men;
with a clear brain and a more determ-
ined purpose, without the social drain
of attractions incident to large city life,
they have learned that with cohesion
they are masters"

Whar have you been for the last three
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed IN his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
One wife in Natchez-u nder-the-Hin
And another here in Pike;
A keerless man in his walk was Jim,
BIT he . never funked. and he never lied
I reckon he never knoWed how.
And this was all the religion he had:
To treat his engine well;
Never be passed on the river;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he sWore
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the AIississip,
And her day come at last
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed.
And so she come tearin' along that night
The Oldest craft on the line
With a niger squat on her safety valve,
And her furnace crammed rosin and
pine.
The fire bust out as she cleared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
For the willer bank on the right.
There was runnin' and cursin,' but Jim
Over ali the Internal roar,
II hold Old her 1 nozzle 57l 9gin the bank
Through the hot. black breath of the
burnin' boat
Jim BIudso's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word.
And sure's you're born they all got off
Afore the smokestacks fell
And BludsO's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint-but at Judgment
1 run my chance with Jim
'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty dead sure thing
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt a-goin' to be too hard
On a man that died for men.

TO SAVE JOHN BELL
Allen County's Alleged Murderer Will
Make Hard Fight

Fort Scott, Sept. 6.-The friends of
John Bell, a young Allen county man,
now in the lola Jail charged with the
murder of Byron Cushman, at Hum
boldt, July 4, are making every effort
to save him from the penitentiary.
Yesterday a petition for his release on
bond was fled an the court of appeals
here.
The case had already been presented
to Judge A. W. Dennison, of the appel
late court, who has ordered Sheriff Ho-
bart, of Allen county, to bring the pris-
oner before him at Erie, Sept. 8, at
which time the case will be heard.
The application states that he Is I'M
lawfully held for the reason that the ev-
idence at the preliminary trial did not
show that the crime Of murder in the
first degree, the only unbailable crime,
had been committed.
Cushman, the victim, was a member
of the Knights and Ladies of Security.

will enliven smelling. Plants which
are now shut down will be started up
with better opportunity for good prof

the Pittsburg plants will all be operated

He is firmly CONVINCED that the gas

THE gas so far discovered said he
Indicates plainly that there is nothing
in Kansas but pocket gas, and it is
questionable whether the cost OF put

Everything is in favor of a stimulat-

this city. Pittsburg with its excellent
deposit of reasonably cheap fuel is all
right, and its shelters will again be in
operation and that before LONE"
