GENERAL.

and biting the undertaken, which should
not now be forgotten.
Wichita Commoner (Pop.): Kansas
must give to Nebraska the honor OF
being the leading Populist State in the
Union, that State having elected Pop
ulist Governor three terms in succession.
Wichita Beacon (Dem): The Topeka
Capital prints an appeal for aid to the
destitute and a eulogy on the Dingley
bill on the same page. 1t is very nat
ural that distress and high taxes should
go hand in hand ever, though the Cap
ital did not intend 1t that way.
Clay Center Dispatch (Pop.): Every
interview of the kind ]. Mack Love and
other prominent Democrats are, giving
out these days means just that much OF
an addition to their stock of regrets for
1900. The cooperation propositions
may be coming from the Democratic
side about then.
Olathe Tribune (Pop): Senator Hanna
admits that the Dingley tariff is fall
ure as a revenue getter, and, therefore,
tea and coffee will have to be taxed and
the war stamp act continued. The cleo
tions are over and the people will now
have taste Of the latest there is in
practical republicanism rigidly applied
to their pocketbooks.
Medicine Lodge Index (Pop.): An
old-fashiOned Populist campaign, says
John Breidenthal, will carry the party In
Kansas to success in 1900 He does not
believe in catering to new fads every
year, and he attributes the indifference
of farmer Populists to the fact that too
little attention was given during the
campaign to vital reform issues. Mr.
Breidenthals head is level in this in
stance.
Parsons Eclipse (Pop.): The rural
Populist vote in this county that stayed
at home on election day is now being
heard from. In the vast majority OF
cases it was over-confidence in the
chances of the success of the fusion
forces and as they are now regretting
their action, they will have an Oppor-
tunity to regret it more and more dur
Ing the coming two years OF Republi-
can administration.
Marion Times (Pop.): When the
facts as to the management Of the cam
paign are made public Chairman Riddle
will receive the credit due him for hav-
ing conducted the campaign with the re-
sources at his command financially cir
cumscribed within extremely narrow
limits with good judgment and SKILL
wisely aggressive, and always in q spirit
Of fairness and honor in contrast with
the bribery, duplicity and falsifying of
the peculiar genius" on the other side.
Spring Hill New Era (Rep): Senator
Hanna believes that some features OF
the war tax must be made permanent.
Our larger military establishment, oul
Increased navy and the necessity OF
maintaining both military and naval
protection in new and distant quarters,
will be an expense until such time as
these possessions may be made to yield
sustaining revenues. That's it! There
is nothing in the expansion business to
the ordinary man but increased taxation
to support large standing army to
keep in subsection a lot Of half-breed
natives.
Mound City Torch Of Liberty (Pop.):
To-day word is brought by the dailies
that another bank under the "best bank
8ng system the world ever saw" at En-
pUgaR, has had its doors closed. And at
che closing it is found that over four
teen thousand dollars of the money
gathered from the people In the form Of
taxes was tied up in 1t, also that officers
of the bank are bondsmen for this
money, and also that the president Of
the bank is a heavy borrower. OF course
the circulating notes issued from this
bank will be made good by the govern
ment but the depositOrs will have to
take pot luck" and get what they can.
Clay Center Dispatch (Pop.) The
boast Of the Republicans in the late
campaign that they were the only pa
triots in this country ought to have de-
feated them il there had been no other
