FUSION CONVENTIONS

Last Thursday the fusion element
of the Demo-Pop party of this ju-
dicial district met in convention in
Chanute to nominate judge for
this district.
Three-fourths of the Pops and
Democrats of the district, as near
as we can find out, were opposed to
placing any candidate in the field
against Judge Stillwell. but few OF
the politicians and particularly our
friend Lapham, who has long had a
"bee in his bonnet, determined
that they must have candidate for
Judge, and hence the convention.
Mr.. Lapham was the only men,
Der of the party in the district who
was willing to be sacrificed, so, of
course, he got the nomination.
We suppose the only object Mr..
Lapham has in seeking the nomina-
ton is to get little cheap advertis-
ing. No one takes the candidacy
seriously and it is looked upon gen.
orally as a sort of joke,
There were very few delegates
present outside of Neosho county
and the immediate vicinity of Cha
mute. No enthusiasm was mani
tested. The resolutions of the
county convention were rehashed
for the occasion.
The convention soon completed
its work and adjourned to the hall
where the Democrats were in ses-
sion. Mr.. Brown, of Altoona,
acted as chairman and w. S.
Marks, of Savonburg. secretary.

publican economic and financial

publican economic and financial
legislation. And yet there. are mil
lions of voters in the country whose
folly cannot be removed, though
they were brayed in mortar, and
who will continue TO follow their
looney leader through the swamps OF
cheap money. And thereare still
good many thousands, equally
looney devotees of Free Trade, who
would exchange prosperity for stag
nation, for the sake of their notions
as to what theoretically should be
our policy, and squelch the rising of
our new marine progress by free
ship theory, which has never had a
logical leg to stand on.
Give us another four years lease
of Republican legislation and exc
cutive control, and the United
States will lead the world without a
contesting rival.-Lowell Mass

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENTS

A miner going from Joplin to
Central City, on the electric line,
handed the conductor a nickel, as
the Carthage Press tells the story,
and said: "They are drawing the
net closer each day on the laboring
man. 1t used to cost a quarter to
make this trip, and l could walk and
save two bits. Under this con-
founded plutocratic administration
1 can only save nickel by walking.
'Rah for Bryant" 81 will not vote
the Republican ticket next time,
said merchant. Under the good
old Democratic rule could order
supplies from the factory and the
order would be filled at once. Now
there are so many orders ahead
that l have to take my turn like they
do at the general delivery at the
postoffice. journal.

CATTLE AND HOGS KANSAS

Kansas reports great increase in
the number of cattle and large ie-
crease in the number of hogs in the
state this year. The cattle number
1886, o6S, or aS2, oo3 more than
were reported in the state a year
ago, There are a,34I,ooo hogs, a
falling off Of 4a5,o79. This great
dlminution in the number of hogs in
the state, in the face of the expan-
sion of the cattle industry, is attrib-
atable to several causes, one of
which is cholera or the fear of it.
Not much trouble with this disease
has been reported this season, but
it is evident that many farmers have
reduced their herds through fear OF
loss from contagion.
Another reason for the falling off
in the number of hogs is the wet
spring which made It difficult to raise
young pigs. This latter cause is
the more important of the two.
There has been a reduction in other
states as we'll as in Kansas, and con-
sequently porkers are much more
valuable than they were a year ago.
Hogs are selling now for about 20
per cent more than at this time last
year, so the aggregate value of the
2,34I,ooo hogs in Kansas now is
greater than the value of the 2, 766,
600 reported year ago. Both the
number and the value of cattle have
increased. There has been a con-
tinuous increase for four years, and
in that time the gain has been more
than a million head. There was an
increase of about a million in the
number of hogs from 1895 20 1893,
but nearly half of this number was
lost in the past year.
With the exception of the great
loss in hogs last year the live stock
industry of Kansas has made a
growth in the past FIVE years that is
without parallel in any state in
the Union.-Kansas City Star.

PROSPERITY AND POLITICS

Prosperity has fairly congested ouI
railroads, business having grown
until there are not cars enough to dc
the carrying. There is one thing
President Mckinley may well con-
graduate himss'f upon, and that is
the grand redemption of the promis-
es of his campaign, that business
should revive with the return of the
republicans to power. One dy-
speptic organ Of the other side re-
calls that in 1873 we had panic,
while the republicans were in con
tro!. This is a fair specimen of
mugwump reasoning and fairness.
The exceptional conditions follow
ing the war and our universal inhat-
ion of both currency and business
are in all fairness to be considered
in judging of the situation in 1873.
But in the present case we had only
to knock out the Democracy and its
laundering incompetency and re-
store what the Republicans had be-
gun to achieve under Harrison
to set the wheels of industry and
commerce humming again, as they
were in 1892, when the people,
with such folly, were not content to
le'"vell enough alone, but must give
Mr.. Cleveland and a Democratic
Congress chance to monkey with
the business of the country.

raign of 1896 have a rare chance ,,00

predictions that prosperity would

THE WORLDS BEER BILL

With every tick of the clock s35
worth of beer vanishes down the
worlds throat; every minute So, 100
worth disappears; every hour the
world pays $1as,ooo for its beer,
and every day it swallows the yearly
income of 5000 middle class famil-
les in nearly 3 million dollars'worth
of TIE "brown beverage" Stupen-
dous as these figures are, especially
when we consider that the world S
beer bill for a year amounts to I
billion dollars, the figures which
represent the quantity consumed,
are almost incredible. The beer
which is consumed throughout the
world in single year would make
lake six feet deep, three and
three fourths miles long and mile
wide, or a,3I9 acres in area. In
this vast lake of beer we could east
ly drown all the English speaking
people to the number of 100 million
throughout the entire world, or, we
could give beer bath to every man,
woman and child at the same time
in the entire continent of America;
while all the peoples of England,
Scotland, Ireland and France could
find standing room on its bed

rice fields, up to their knees to

the principal object in marketing corn

How Pu.s Sees In ne DARK.

Pussy can see as well in the dark as
in the light. Many animals are able to
do 80, among them tigers, lions and, in
fact, all of the cats cousins, including
the owl, which IL not an animal at ALL
but bird The reason of this is because
these animals have the power of max
ing the pupil. the dark center of the col
ored part of the eye. grow larger or
smaller at will. 1t is through this dark
spot which is really the window that
communicates with the brain. that the
picture of what is looked at is tele-
graphed to the brain by the nerves
spread out inside the pupil When the
cat is in the dark. she enlarges the pu-
pill of the eye so that more rays of light
can pass through it to the brain than is
ordinarily the case. and the impression
is therefore stronger one than is pos
sible to the human eye.

II Is impossible 10 pick up a
newspaper these days without
reading of the organization OF one
or more trusts. Every object of
ordinary use is rapidly passing in
TO the control of some monopoly,
and the sigus of the times indicate
the extinction of the independent
manufacturer and small tradesman.
This tendency is not encouraging
to the laboring man, for the prime
object of trust is to get along
with rs few men as possible and
pay only the lowest wages. Besides
this, the absence of competition
enables the trust to dictate the
price of the labor it employs. for
many men must work for the trusts
or not work at all. Victor Record

Big Chief sherman.

Representative James s. Sherman Of
the Twenty fifth New York district
knows more about Indians than any
man in congress. Mr. sherman, how
ever, is not an Indian. On the contrary,
he is one of the best specimens of the
true Anglo-Saxon race For many years
he has made study of the red mar,
and there is not a custom, race pc
culiarity or habit which has escaped the
eye of the New York representative.
As chairman of the house committee on
Indian affairs Mr.. Sherman is brought
into close contact with the red man, and
it is not uncommon to see a score or
more of the 'old inhabitants" congre-
gated in Mr. Sherman's committee
room waiting for the big chief as he is
facetiously called. The Indian appro-
priation bill was under consideration i'll
the house recently, and when Mr.. Sher-
man was engineering it through half
dozen Indian chiefs, with moccasins and
furs and full regalia, We're seated in the
