CONGRESSIONAL TICKET.
COUNTY TICKET.
WE MUST PAY THE DEBT.

We have claimed, all along, that the United
States would finally have to pay the Cuban
debt or, rather the debt (bonds) saddled upon
Cuba by the Spanards, to get money with
which to Cypress the Cubans. Our prediction
is coming true.
The first step toward this is the assuming of
Sac, ZOO, 900 of Philippine bonds by the United
States. According to McKinley's instructions
to the peace commission at Paris, we will take
all of the Philippine Islands, and assume the
bonds of those islands, which Mckinley says
he "guesses" amounts to S4o,ooo,ooo but
which, in reality amounts to a great deal more.
But, many of these bonds are held by Ameri
cans so we must make them good.
And now comes the next step.
In last Saturday Topeka Capital appears
dispatch from Washington in which appears
this paragraph:
ssThe United States has not assumed nor
guaranteed the so-called municipal debt of
Cuba or Cuban municipalities, but it is expect
ed that such debts will be paid by the munich
palities mourning them, tor by no reasoning
could they be charged upon Spain Our gov
eminent, it is said in official CIRCLES would look
upon any attempt at evading the payment of
such debts as reputation and dishonest, and
whatever government is established in Cuba
will be expected to see that these obligations
are carried out in good faith. Moreover, some
of the bonds of Cuban municipalities are
held by citizens of the United States, and the
United States might insist that the investments
of her citizens be made good"
Friends, how do you like it? Is it not time
to elect men to office who are not constantly
scheming to saddle more debt upon the people,
for the benefit of few bond sharks?

FALSE ASSUMPTION.

The Kansas City Journal says, i'll substance,
that the Republican party is opposed to nlonop-
olies, and that the difference between the Pop
ulist and Republican parties lies in the fact
that the Popuist party wishes to ruthlessly de-
stroy the rights and interests of corporations,
and the Republican party recognizes their use
fullness, and only wishes to control.
The facts present very different showing.
In the case of the stock yards law, was there
ever hint of destruction? On the contrary,
here is clear case of an effort to control, and
to which every prominent Republican stands
opposed.
Again, take the screen and scrip laws, and
the effort is to control, and to which every
prominent Republican stands III opposition.
Do Republicans sanction those laws?
No prominent Republican from the president
down to Bailey and Bowersock, have at any
time, announced his intention of even making
an effort to control corporations.
If the assumption of the Journal was tine,
there would be no Populists. In thirty years
of Republican misrule, corporations have
grown into trusts and combines until there Is
scarcely corporation in this great nation that
does not Cypress some or all OF the working
people, The railroads have a history whose
pages are full of watered stock and eXtorton.
The manufacturing and coal companies have
ground thei, employees and customers without
mercy. The sugar and oil trusts have laughed
to scorn Republican "prosecution." No COM
bine is under control through Republican effort
Thirty years is ample time in which to show
by works, where any party stands. Washing
aud Jefferson carved nation in less time--rev-
olutionized government and laid the foundation
for the grandest of all civilizations.
Words don't 60, in the face of facts, with IN
telligent people, and the facts in this case are
are that the Republican party has permitted
the corporations to ruthlessy destroy the people
in their rights and interests. Facts reverse the
Journals statement.
There is no disposition on the part OF Re
publicans to control, because the Republican
party is part aud parcel of the combines
Strike either one, and you have hit the whole
Line up in battle against either, and both are
at your front.

THEY ARE SWEATING BLOOD.

The Republicans, being unable 10 get as
much Doodle as common from the usual sources,
made die er with the eestern insurance conf
panies, whereby these companies were to fur
1ish so much Doodle for the privilege OF llam-
ing the next insurance commissioner. These
eastern colnpeuies are fighting the fraternal in
su ence organizations. Kansas has many thou
sands OF fraternal lnembers. Webb McNaIl's
font against the eastern companies is, indirect
w, their fight, and they are for McNall. This
is what worries the Republican committee.
They are afraid the monev furnished by The in
surance companies will not offset the opposition
of the fraternal organ zation. They are truly
in pitiable position. We'd pity them if they
were not such internal tricksters.

DUTY OF THE HOUR.

Ere another issue of the AGITAToR, the
election will have been held and another CAM
paign will have passed into history. The duty
of the hour is obvious. Let every friend of re-
form grid up his loins for the day of election.
If the reform ticket is beaten, it will be by
the stay-at-homes. No reformer has a moral
right to stay at home. There is too much at
stake. 1t is not question alone of who shall
have the ofhces-it is more. 1t is question OF
governmental policy. On the one hand, we
have men who are tried and true to the people,
and on the other We have men who make no
open promises to the people, and are secretly
pledged to corporations.
vote for Hon. J. D. Stevens, our candidate
for representative, is vote for further legisla-
ton in the interest of the people. A vote for
his opponent is a vote for no wholesome legis-
lation, and the possible repeal of good laws
now on the statute-books. vote for Leedy,
Boyle and the rest of the Peoples ticket is for
clean administration and an honest enforcement
of law. vote for Stanley and GODDARD and
the rest OF the Republican ticket is a vote to
lie down to the corporations. A vote for our con.
gresslnen is vote tor government of the peo-
ple by the people and for the people. vote
for the opposition is a vote for government by
the corporations and for the corporations.
Be not deceived by the many false cries OF
the peoples enemies. The whole battle cen
tiers on good government or bad government
1t is not question of men; but if it were, Our
men are better and nober than the men of the
opposition
Environment tells the whole story. Corpo-
ration attorneys lead the opposition They
were chosen to lead, by corrupt ring of IN.
principled politicians, the ring being owned by
the peoples oppressors.
A stream of water does not flow up hill, and
we might as reasonably expect such phenomena
as to expect that the Republican nominees will
give the people just measures or clean adj
ministraton. Be the nominees ever so good,
personally, the road to any reform is barred by
the men who stand in the front of the Repub-
1ican party. The unprnciped ring manipu-
lates conventions dictates policies, formulates
measures.
A vote for the Republican nominees is vote
to place in power the office-seeker, who cares
only for spoils. On the other hand, every man
OH the Peoples ticket has earned his salary by
faithful effort to perform the duties of his office,
and we unhesitatingly affirm that, in quarter
of century, Kansas has not had, OIL the whole,
so faithful and earnest set of state officers as
the present incumbents.
Vote for every man the ticket; also for the
woman; and, by so doing, show your apprecia-
ton of Peoples administration
Go to the polls early, and stay late, and see
that all the friends of reform perform the duty
of good citizenship.

Joseph Letter Said to Have Purchased thu
Rhode Island Locomotive Works.
New YORK. Oct. 3l.-A special from
Providence says: It is stated on author
ity which appears to he unquestioned,
that Joseph Letter, of Chicago. has pur'
chased the Rhode Island locomotive
works, and that 1t is his purpose to be-
gin the manufacture Of locomotives un-
der the patents the concern holds. and
also manufacture the Wheelock station
airy engine under patents owned by a
Chicago firm. The price paid is thought
to be near a million dollars. Mr.. Letter
is understood to represent a syndicate OF
rich iron and steel men. The plant was
originally built for the manufacture OF
the Burnside rifles, and during the civil
wal many thousands of arms were made
and sent all over the world. The fac
tory gave employment to 1000 hands.

The union meeting in the opera house
last evening under the auspices OF the
w. G. Il. u, vas we'll attended and the
entire program good. Music was fur.
nished by members of the Methodist
and Presbyterian church choirs, assisted
by Rev. J. V. Rosewarne who led the
congregational singing and also sang as
q solo, "Ninety and Nine"
Rev. G. NJ. Cline spoke on 1.-THE Sa-
loon, an Enemy to the Home" He said
the saloon is an enemy to the homo in
that it takes q mans time, which be
ought to spend with his family instead
OF amid the demoralizing influence Of
the saloon; also because 90 many men
spend in the saloon the money needed in
the home, thus depriving their family Of
comforts and even necessities. He said
he could give the Of children
right here in Madison who had gone hum
cry to bed night after night, when their
fathers were spending money in the sa-
looms in this city. The saloon also robs
the home Of its boys, sending them to
jails and penitentiaries.
He thought that most women were
doing what they could with their lImi-
ted opportunities to oppose the liquor
traffic. aud he hoped their sphere OF use-
~fulness would soon be enlarged. Only q
few men, however, had the backbone to
stand firm against the saloon. He won.
dered what our city council was think
ing about that it should vote down the
curfew ordinance, and the very same
evening license another saloon.
Mrs. Dawson read "The Tale of a Ser
pent, or q Woman's Logic giving an
account OF a mans effort to keep a rat
tlesnake from biting his little boy by
tying the snake and telling the child to
keep away from the serpent, the mother
affirming that a rope strong enough to
tetner a snake was strong enough to kill
it, and thus prevent all possibility Of it
injuring the boy.
Prof. Dempster gave reasons why the
suffrage amendment ought to pass. He
thought intelligence and not sex should
enable one to vote. and that it is an in.
suit to the cultured women OF this ooun-
try that ignorant foreigners who could
not read the ballot, were given the cleo.
tive franchise denied to noble American
women. 1t is unjust that taxpayipG
women should have no voice in deciding
what taxes should be imposed, or that
a mother should not have the right t.
vote against q saloon or any other evil,
threatening the safety Of her children.
In answer to the common objections
against equal suffrage, he referred to
the results in places where it has been
tried, and where oven those at first op'
posed to it now say that equal suffrage
has proved beneficial in every respect.
He quoted the words OF persons OF ma
tional reputation that favor equal sui
frage, among them Abraham Lincoln
