definitely whether Mr.. Bookwalter or Mr.

showed that Mr.. Bookwalter had made Q
gain Of 200 toward reducing Mr.. Taggart's
plurality of over $500 two years ago This
showed Mr.. Bookwalter making an average
gain of 1871 votes TO the precinct. To de-
feat Mr.. Taggart IL would be necessary for
him to make gain of is.5 votes to the pre-
cinct, and If the ratio OF these 1fz precincts
were maintained TO the end Mr.. Taggart
would be elected by a plurality of less than
100 votes. The last eighteen precincts In.
however, showed Mr. Bookwalter making q
little better gain than roted before and the
result was so close that a few precincts

Wills New College ~.

After an arduous search the Tope-
peka Mail has discovered Thomas A.
Will who used to rattle around in the
place Of president Of the State Agri-
cultural college, who insisted on
making Populist institution out Of
the Agricultural college, and was
promptly removed when Governor
Stanley's board took control. He has
opened the college of Social Science
at Manhattan and is advertising in
all the reform papers for students.
The college of Social Science was or.
ganized at the reform conference in
Buffalo, N. Y, last July, and at that
time a number Of prominent social
lists and reformers subscribed $25, 900
to start the institution. Prof. Will
was really the father Of the enter
prise and he was at once engaged to
become the president Of the new COL
lege. The original plan was to have
the college opened in Boston, but the
Boston people did not encourage the
institution. Prof. Will has decided
to have the college run during the
first year at Manhattan and move it
to Boston or some other large city as
soon as it outgrows Manhattan. AT
the present time the college consists
of one room ten by twelve feet, one
desk, two chairs and a socialist pro.
lessor. In his advertisements Prof.
Will is giving great prominence to
the correspondence department" Of
the college and urges laboring people
and farmers to complete their educa.

Explain Your Policy

The News after much meditation
has endorsed Philippine policy. II
says simply: 1--WE would have
recognized Filipinos as patriots de.
serving Of their liberty" That is as
far as that great Demo-Pop organ has
thought up to date, and it evidently
believes it has covered the question
and outlined a policy. 1t would
recognize the Filipinos." Which
Filipinos does it mean9 Does the
News not know that in the Islands OF
the Philippines there are nearly 1850
different tribes, and that only one Of
these tribes is in rebellion against
the authority of the United StatesP
Would it be fair for us to turn the
government Of the Philippines over
to the Tagalogs, who represent sim.
ply one tribe in the Islands, and who
are at warfare with the other tribes?
Or would it be fair to the Tagalogs If
we should turn the the government
Of the Philippines over to the chiefs
Of the Sulus, who, for three hundred
years have kept up a warfare with
the Tagalogsp Or would it be fair
to the Sulus and Tagalogs II we
should turn the government Of the
Islands over to the Mohammedans OF
the Island Of Mindarao, who are still
on friendly terms with the United
States, but who have had a warfare
withe Sulus and the Tagalogs for
several hundred yearsP Or would 1t
be fair to the Sulus and the Tagalogs
and the Mohammodans II we should
turn the government Of the Islands
over to the "head hunters" who in
habit the southern end OF the archi-
pelago, and who made business OF
hunting the heads Of any members Of
the other tribes who happen to appear
in their vicinity II the News will
tell us which tribe it desires to
turn the government Of these Islands
over to, we can then discuss the
question from an intelligent stand
point. The trouble with many Of
our anti-expansion friends is that
they know nothing whatever about
the Philippines, and have never
spent any time in an effort to become
intelligent.

Congressman Calderhead said con-
corning trusts the other day: ut
looks to me now as IL the trusts will
be a thing Of the past before we vote
again. They will fall to pieces Of
their own weight and those that are
left will be the more useful ones and
entitled to place in affairs. Trusts
hurt their own stockholders more
than anybody else. Men who buy
over-capitalized stock are sure to lose,
for stocks Of that character cannot
stand. These, believe, will fall be-
fore the election Of 1900, and the
campaign will be conducted on differ

A Catholics Protest.

One Of the so-called "leagues" de-
voted to fighting the battles Of Agui
naldo last week wrote to Rev. A. P,
Doyle, editor Of the Catholic World
asking his permission to place his
name with others on a circular pro-
testing against expansion and the
Philippine war. This is the patriotic
response the letter brought forth:
My DEAR SIR:--Please do not use
my name in any such list as you pro-
pose or for any such purpose. | con-
slider that while our country is at
war and American soldiers are being
shot down in the Philippines, to in.
stitute any such league as you pro.
pose is constructive treason. SIN
cerely yours, A. T. DOYLE.

That Poverty Plea,

The spectacle which the News pre-.
sents in posing Mr.. J. W. Baker,
Demo-Populist candidate for sheriff
as a poor down.trodden laboring man,
toiling sadly for crust Of bread to
keep bis family from the poor house
is enough to make every voter in
Dickinson county weary. II Mr..
Baker is half as self-respecting as we
think he is. he will repudiate any
poverty plea Of that kind.
As we understand it, the court
house of Dickinson county is not an
eleemosynary institution in which
men are stationed because they are
paupers and unable to earn living by
any toll, and such an assump-
tion is an insult to the citizens OF
Dickinson county OF whatever party.
Men are elected to Office on their
merits and as representatives of po-
litical parties. 1t is the duty of
voters to consider which men stand
ing both as individuals and as repre-
sentatives Of certain political princi-
Piles best deserve their franchises.
When party like the Fusionists Of
this county puts up platform that
denounces the president Of the United
States in his efforts to keep Old Glory
flying and takes the part Of lot Of
wild-eyed half naked savage Tagals
as against the soldiers Of the United
States and then pleads for the cleo
ton Of its candidates because they
are or have been poor, it is under
rating the intelligence Of the voters
Of this county.
We have most Of US been poor
enough in Kansas, heaven knows
there is no particular merit in it. A
man who goes around whining that
he was once rich but now is poor and
should be helped is very apt to win
contempt.
We do not believe Mr.. Baker has
authorized this sort Of a plea in his
behalf-if he has, be is decidedly
lacking in respect for himself and his
fellow citizens. For years he has
been drawing good salary as trav.
cling representative Of one of the
richest corporations in Ohio.
He is stopping off between trips
long enough to make little canvass
for office. 1t is his privilege. But II
it is the News expectation that he
can be posed as martyr. it
is making both itself and Mr.. Baker
ridiculous. In the language Of the
street, There are Others"
This poverty plea and some foul.
worded abuse Of Mr.. Cooper are all
the Fusion organ has yet offered as
reason why its ticket should be elect

low estimate does the News place up.

A Campaign Of Patriotism.

A Campaign Of Patriotism.
The campaign Of 1899 is an "ofi'
year" In Kansas. Men stand around
and say: at don't make much differ
ence who is elected this year-wt
will vote for men and not for party
1t does make difference. 1t makes
q difference whether the voice OF q
people is for one party or another
1t makes a difference whether there
is an expression in favor Of continu-
ing the good times in America or not,
whether the administration is upheld
in its foreign policy or not, whether
Aguinaldo is encouraged or not.
II you notice you will always see
the candidates OF the minority party
making this plea that ''it don't make
any difference this year" Billy
Matteson is making it. John Baker is
making it. They know that they
cannot be elected except by Republic
can votes and they hope to induce
enough Republicans to desert their
party to boost them into office. But
when the Populist is once elected, it
makes a difference. Then he is a
Populist and his election is glorious
victory for Populism, for Leedy, for
for Simpson, for fiat money and Agui-
naldo. That was the case two years
ago. Mr.. Matteson said, ut don't
make any difference and enough Re-
publicans voted for him to give him
majority Of ~. After election the
News yelled and hooted that it was a
great Pop victory, that 1t was an in
dication Of the growth Of sentiment
in favor Of calamity, sub-treasuries
and IS to /. Don't you remember
itP Yet it was nc Pop victory. The
Republican party was stronger than
in years and last year it showed it.
All that Is needed in order to elect
every candidate on the Republican
ticket this year top to bottom is for
the Republicans to vote the Republic
can ticket. Lots OF those who are
not or have not been Republicans
will vote it. They will do so because
they believe in the principles sus-
tanned by the Republican party and
the result will be that the Republican
majority will be larger than in years.
The Republican party has chosen q
ticket which merits and will receive
the support Of a big majority Of the
voters Of the county. Not a man has
been placed in nomination who is not
fully qualified to perform the duties
OF the office to which he aspires.
Each Of the candidates is prepared to
60 out into circle OF acquaintance
as wide as the county and ask sup
port in all confidence that there is
in his record which does not
enttle him to a compliance with his
request. Each is Republican whose
loyalty to his party has never needed
question. The party has never
placed a better ticket in the field.
Every man who believes in making
America the greatest nation on earth,
,very man who wants Old Glory to
stay where it is planted, every man
who wants the American soldiers to
ADVANCE and not retreat, belongs
lnder the Republican banner. He
AN be at home nowhere else. 1t is
question of patriotism. Regardless
