A distinct alternative is presented
to us-Stanley or Leedy. PETERS
candidacy is only important as it may
contribute to the election or defeat
of one of these men. The distance
between these two men and what
they represent is so great, that no
man with a glimmer of sense ought
hesitate moment in making choice.
Stanley is cultured. dignified, reli-
gious; Leedy is ignorant, boorish, pro-
fame. Stanley has judgment and
courage; Leedy mistakes insolence for
independence. Stanley is man of
high ideas, Leedy thinks bravado and
buster as craftsmanship. Stanley
has intelligence enough to interpret
the constitution and statutes of the
state, and honor enough to obey an
official oath; Leedy stands convicted
of an utter disregard of his oath and
notorious collision with joints and
dives for booze and Doodle. Stanley's
election will elevate the state;
Leedy's election will debase it.
Populism is dead everywhere but in
Kansas, and next November's election
should strike it with the blight of
death in our state.-James A. Trout

MY P0PULIST FRIEND.
Was It the Crime of 70 or the Blunder of

E. G. Pipp in American Economist.
''Y cure the most eXaSperating wOm-

any other critter in the feed lot" said
my Populist friend, as he planked
himself into the chair with such force
as to burst the cane seat. Then, jerk
ing off one boot, he threw it at the
corner, missed the stand and hit the
cat. Forgetting the other boot, he
continues: aren't you ever going to
let up? Must you continue world
without end? Am 1 to hear it for
ever and a day on this side of Jordan,

ears as go sailing through the pear

With that he run his long, bony fin
gers through his disheveled hair. set

bootless foot high in the air.

side the table, on which was a lamp

away at her husbands stockings, I'M
ruffied, undisturbed, unmoved
My Populist friend is big-hearted,
quick-tempered,h honest, whole-souled
uncouth farmer, who learned to

and ever since has fought life's bat

kind, forbearing, devoted, patient,
Shrewd and tantalizing. They live
out in Kansas, and that day he had
been to the Kansas City market with
car load of fat cattle. Tenderly he
had cared for them, regularly had he
fed them, with a feeling of supreme
satisfaction had he watched the
market rise as the cattle gained in
flesh, joyfully had he contemplated
the time when he couki bring home
to the good wife portion of the
profit. The time to sell had come;
he expected much, but sold at the

/ bought those yearlingS less than
two years ago, that they would bring
that price now? There is a bit of it
for you," and he placed the crisp bank
bill beside the lamp.
The little woman glanced at it
quickly; the old familiar. mischiev-
Gus smile began to play about her lips;
and turning to her husband she bland
ly asked, ''What's the price of silver?'
1t was this innocent little question
that caused the storm-clouG to burst.
But when it had spent its force she
said, with mild manner and placid
tone. 'Your reference to the time of
buying brought to mind the condi-
tions then existing. Let's see; it was
in August, L believe; yes, August, '96.
Nothing on earth, according to your
notion, would ever bring up the price
of cattle and hog and corn and wheat
but the free and Unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to 1: commod-
tiles and silver went up and down to-

At this my fopulist friend jerked
off the other boot, threw il in the
other corner, said not word, but
listened to his wife, who continued:
Il told you that what was needed
was employment for the then idle
hands: that wages for the workers, so
that they could buy beef for their
families, would help you and me;
that so long as our country bought its
goods of other countries our laborerS
could not be employed making them
and could not have wages with which
to buy what we have to sell. You
voted for silver, but in spite of you
the men of the East voted you down,
voted for employment and Protection
to the workers of mill and mine and
factory, voted to give them chance
to earn money with which to buy the
beef of the steers that we fatten and
ship to market. But where is silver:
What has become of the yoke that
hitched the white metal and the
steer together? Cattle are up in price;
silver down.
s'But I really thought McKinley's
election would make money scarce
