TO Cure u Cold in One Day.
A. KANSAS NEWSPAPER
FOR THE FARM AND HOME
...The...
Semi -WeekIy Capital.


. Edited by General J. X. Hudson
The Semi. Weekly Capital from the
coming pear will be the best newspaper
for Kansas readers ever published in the
state. 1t will fnrnso, twice n week, at
the cost of an ordinary weekly paper, a
complete summary of the news of the
world, and more Kansas news than all
other papers combined. Iditorially, it
will be sincere and earnest advocate OF
the progress and prosperity Of Kansas
and all the interests of her people 1t
will stand as an independent and out
spoken advocate of Republican primer
pies, for clean and honorable politics and
for the enforcement Of oil laws.
A years subscription to The Semi
Weekly Capital now will cover all the
events leading up to the great presidcn-
tial campaign of next year, and will be
worth twice what it costs.
The publisher of this paper has made
arrangements whereby he can make the
following attractive clubbing offer:
The Semi Weekiy Capital
and the SPACE AGIrATOR one year for
$1.50; or, with the 4-page AcrAToR
for $1:OO.

Besides being unlawful, this raid on
the Treasury is unnecessary and inju-
dicious. So say many prominent bank
ers and financiers. But this proceeding
by Gage Is IMPERIAL government,
though we think we have a free and
constitutional self-government. That
is u mistake, with the Republican
party in control Of the administration,
and the money power in control of the
Republican party. The people are not
in it, except to furnish the votes and
money for sharpers.

ANOTHER ESTIMATE OF MIR
BRYAN.

There have been published a large
number of estimates Of Hon. w. Jen-
nings Bryan. but the following. from
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, stall
wart Republican, is something new
from an unexpected source:
1.-THE people of the East, who do not
known Mr.. Bryan. are apt to underrate
the entire integrity of motive which
animates him, and which is the great
element in his strength. No matter
how we may differ with hint is idle
not to recognize this fact. T believe
that there is no sacrifice that MIR. Bryan
would not make to further what he be-
loved to be the welfare Of this country.
This sentiment being prevalent In my
own section, I can account for the in
tensely loyal following which Mr.. Bryan
enjoys"
| No man has grown so rapidly in favor
with the people Of the United States as
has Mr.. Bryan, and the estimate Of
Senator Wolcott will be the estimate Of
an overwhelming majority Of the peo-
pie of this country OF the great Nebras-
kan. 1t IS gratifying to note that all
of Mr.. Bryan's political opponents, ex-
Icept those who are too narrow minded
or extremely partisan to see or aclSnowl-
edge the truth, pay tribute to his in
egrity, his patriotism, his unselfishness
and his ability.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
THE Observation-Disclosures.
WATCH THEM.
(Roanoke T'ines.)l

Watch those i"Democrats'' who are
processing so much interest In the sue
cess OF the State party, and are giving
their, assent and applause exclusively to
Republicans in the national campaign.
In their papers and in their words and
acts they are distinctly for Hanna and
Mckinley. and, under cover of noisy
zeal for the State Democracy, they are
favoring the Republican policies and
arguments, while seeking by every de-
vice to seize the State for next year, SO
as to wreck Bryan and save Mckinley.
Never was a fouler or more treacherois
plot attempted, and plain, honest people,
not on the outlook cannot believe it.
Alas. if they only see the vile perfldy
too Vrginian-P Pilot.
| The Virginian-Pilot in the foregoing
makes the first public mention of an evil
condition of things in politics in Vir-
ginia that has been going on for some
| time. Indeed, hints of actual man
oeuyres looking to the delivery of Vir-
sinia over to the Republicans in the
coming national campaign have been
made. Certainly some very peculiar
things have occurred to give color to
| the belief that such Is the intention of
the bosses, who appear to have ylr-
ginia's suffrage In such shape as to be
able to do with 1t pretty much as they
\ please. The plan as exposed so far, is
for Mckinley to have Virginia in 1900.
IN return for this support the Republi-
can party is to let the State go as 1t
wishes In State affairs. Who would be
benefited by the arrangement can easily
/ be seen. Indeed. from observation made
during the campaign just brought to u
close the warning Of the Virglnan-
Pilot are found to be based upon Il
foundation solid enough to be worthy
of profound consideration. THAT
THERE is AN UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN MARTIN AND CERTAIN
REPUBLICAN LEADERS CANNOT
BE DOUBTED; If the signs Of the
times may be read Alright, and they ap-
pear to be simple enough to figure out.
Like our Norfolk contemporary whom
we quote, we assert that the best ee-
ment of Virginia people who have de-
Iclared blind allegiance to party leaders
without taking into account the kind of
men whom they are choosing to guide
them. had best open their eyes and look
about them. Party fealty is all well
lenough when the party represents the
Interests of those who make it up, and
when men are at Its head who may be
trusted implicitly with the leadership
but when 1t has been found that its
leaders are conniving and scheming tc
betray the confidence placed In them by
turning over the whole business. bag
and baggage, to the other side, then the
time has arrived for a revolution. II
is hoped that Virginia Democrats will
not awaken too late to the dangers thai
confront them. They have beer
warned: let them see to 1t that this evi
thing does not come upon them un-
lawares.

LESSON OF vIRGINIA's ELECTION
(Richmond Times.)

There was one incident of the cleo
tion last Tuesday which has not re-
iceived much attention, but it is proba-
bly, the most Important one to the peo-
pie of Virginia of all those connected
with 1T. except, Of course, the procln-
nation that Ohio sent out to the world
that free silver and Bryan are no longer
live issues.
The incident we refer to as SO i'm
portant to the people of Virginia is the
defeat of Mr.. Boykin by Mr.. Stands for
the State Senate in the Isle of Wight
district The State Committee of the
Democratic party heard the contest be-
tween these two and decided that Boy
Kin was the regular party nominee, and
1t called upon all good Democrats to
vote for Boykin and scratch Stands.
The district is one of the heaviest
negro districts in the State, where the
supremacy Of the Democratic party is
supposed to be vital to the very lives of
the people. Nevertheless, when election
DAY came. the white people. by their
almost unanimous action, repudiated
Boykin and voted for Stands, and the
strange announcement is made that
|BOYK1N'S VOTE WAS ALMOST
WHOLLY GIVEN BY THE NE
[GROES.
Here are two astonishing things.
First. that the white people of the dis
II ~ IttSC Cut LIE party
and. second, that the Democratic nomi-
nee should have got what negro votes
were cast. The charge Is openly made
that the negro vote was bought.
But that question aside; how did the
white people of this negro district come
to cut the party nominee and vote for
an independent? The answer is plain
enough. The Democrats of Southamp-
ton RESENTED THE ARBITRARY
RULING OF THE POLITICAL MA
CHINE AND THEY ROSE UP IN
THEIR MIGHT AND REBUKED 1T.
They will not wear the party collar and
THEY WILL NOT TOLERATE TY-
thousands and ten thousands of Demo-
Gratis in other parts OF Virginia who are
Just as independent as the Democrats
of Southampton, and THE PARTY
I. LEADERS WILL DO WE'LL TO BEAR
THAT FACT IN MIND.

WEY NOT A FOUL.

The East Oregonian is generally
right in its deductions. and it made no
mistake in its conclusions when it
said:
W. c. Whitney, secretary of the

tration, is said to be 10 Europe with
the purpose of inducing Admiral
Dewey to become candidate for the
democratic nomination for the presi-
dency. Mr.. Whitney sees In Dewey
an opportunity for the money forces,
with democratic leanings, to get CON-
troll in national affairs and will use his
persuasive eloquence to that end.
Mr.. Whitney and Dewey are personal
friends and the willy ex-secretary feels
that he has more influence for this un-
dertaking than shows on the surface.
If Dewey becomes q candidate Mr..
Mckinley had better not seek q re-
nomination-but Dewey would be all
kinds of fool to give up the position
he occupies in the hearts of the people

THE HAGUE FLZZLE.

The peace conference at The Hague
has about completed its labors, and
the members will soon start on their
junketing tiip homeward, after having
spent several weeks accomplishing
little or nothing. The convention has
been one of words and oratory,
theories and ideas, not action or
agreement, for there has been no pesi.
tive results. It Is possible that more
friendly relations may hereafter exist
between some of the nations that
were represented in the conference,
but this will be counter-balanced by
animosities between others that have
resulted from the heated discussions
during the convention.
The tangible results are set forth in
series of declarations that have no
weight, although they were signed by
the delegates, but before becoming
binding must be. approved by the
governments represented, First OF
the declarations is one setting up the
fact that Limitation of military forces

A PIONEER OF 1852.
John Irvine Died at His Home in This

John Irvine Died at His Home In Thil
John Irvine, who has been an in.
valid for. several years, died at his
home Thursday afternoon. Mr.. r.
vine was an old and highly respected
citizen of this county, having come
here in 1852, and settled on the Snipes
place hear Rowena. eight miles below
The Dalles. A few years later he
bought what is known as the Kelsay
place, three miles below town. where
he was married to Miss Kathrine
Keith. To them were born six chill
dren, three of whom are still living
Frank Irvine, of Antelope, Mrs. Alice
Laurenson and Mrs. Anna Spencer, Of
this place. His wife died three years
ago, and since then Mr.. Irvine has
been an INVALID most of the time.
Since 1852 Mr.. Irvine had resided
continuously in Wasco county, with
the exception of five years he had
spent in klamath, and during that
time he had formed attachments and
friends who will bear witness to his
noble qualities and honorable life
whenever his name Is mentioned. In
1854, at the time of the Snake river
massacre, Mr.. Irvine left his farm to
enlist as q private to fight the Indians,
and was with tho volunteers during
the campaign of that year.
Mr.. Irvine was born in Indiana =z3
years ago, and was indeed a true
Westerner,i one of those, whose gener-
osity knows no bounds, and who are
never happier than when performing
some kind deed.

that are sapping up the iresources o
continental Europe, but 80 far as thil
matter is concerned the conference
was dismal failure, for not single
nation represented at The Hague will
cut down its military forces either on
land or on sea. There will. be just
as many men comprising the armies,
just as many guns protecting the forti-
ications, and just as many warships
a6oat as before the conference con-
vened.
The other matters considered Re.
lating to the rights and duties of neu-
tral powers, the class and cslibre of
rifles and artillery, and the rights of
property on land and sea have been
referred to the consideration of some
future convention that will never be
called. Not a single plain proposition
to go into force at once or bind the
governments represented was agreed
to. The conference has been nothing
but convention of disagreeing ele-
ments which have concluded upon
nothing except that certain things
should be referred to their respective
governments, and that others may be
brought up at some future conference.
The great peace conference has re-
suited as nearly everybody believed it
would in perfect fizzle.
