Ed Little is likely to be the NOM
inee of the fusion party in 1900 for
governor of Kansas. A great many
men think he ought to be nominated
against Stanley for the way Stanley
has treated him in promoting Major
Metcalf over him as col)nel. Ed
Little is a good level headed man
and would make good governor if
elected. He would have the SUD.
port of the free silver Republicans
and Democrats and We do not see
any man that could do better by the
Populists than he. If he is nomi,
mated Stanley will know that some.
one is in the field against MIN. Lit.
ties record in the war will make
him many friends.

WHAT'S THE COST?

From one end Of the country to
the other it has been heralded in the
Republican papers that ex-senator
PETER has joined the Republican
party.
The reason given is that he was
only Populisl on the money ques-
ton and Republican in everything
else. Well, We are sorry for the ex
senator, and we think that the Pop.
ulists and Democrats will feel the
same way. A man whose principles
are as changeable as the wind, and
who, by his own statement, admits
he was parading under false colors
is deserving Of commiseration, not
censure. This now "staunch Re-
publican" we suppose that is what
they will call him, takes upon him
self to say the Populist party is
dead, and that it is to become a part
of the Democrat party. What
a miserable excuse for the BETRAYAL
of his party? 1t will take more
than a few words from a weak
kneed politician like PETER to kill
the Populist party. No one can
help asking, what it cost the Repub-
licans to get PETER to join their
ranksp
Republicans know that their hope
of victory lies in breeding discord
in the fusion party, therefore they
are prepared to stop at nothing TO
accomplish their end. desperate
cases require desperate remedies"
and the Republicans seemed to be
endeavoring to apply desperate
remedy in working up a little excit.
ment over the downfall of ex Sen
ator PETER. No fusionist will for a
moment be fooled by such work, but
it points out the absolute necessity
of perfecting their organization.
Lay your plans on a solid founda-
ton for the coming fight is going to
be hard one. The Populists can
again carry their standard to victory
by good hard work.
The Republican papers ought to
keep themselves busy for the next
week or two explaining away the
many hard things they have said
about PETER since he sailed under
Populist colors. Poor PETER, he is
dead politically. Requicat in pace.

The Coal Strike.

The strike Of the coal miners went into
effect Saturday at noon, closing down
the SWIM. & l. company's shafts at
Mineral, the Central Coal & Coke Com
pany's mines at Weir, Scammon and
Chicopee, the K. & T. Co.'S. mines at
Weir, Yale and other points in Craw-
ford county and the Western Mining
Cos. mines. The companies directly
affected are those named who have mines
in Arkansas and the Territory where the
trouble that led to the walk out here
originated.
The cause was the discharging of sixty
men last February at Hartshorn OF.
who belong to the union. The mine
owners would not reemploy the men so
a general strike was ordered by the
union.

not swim the Bag Bag river, bnt two
brave privates swan it and procured
a raft upon which the colonel and
his men crossed. Why do We not
hear more of who those two brave

Why do we hear so much Of Fun
ston and so little Of the boys who
carried him to victory Funston
showed the same buster in Cuba,
and in Alaska as an explorer. That
uncomfortable desire for fame, and
not love Of country seems to be the
incentive that pushes him on. Ac-
cording to the Wichita Eagle, Ed
Little missed promotion because he
has not sought for favor in the
proper way. Those who have
known him in war, remember him
not for his fool-hardy actions, but
for many deeds of mercy. His
record shows his great solicitude
always for his men, and his manifold
acts of kindness to the unfortunate,
the sick and the wounded. All

A TRAMP'S PHILOSOPHY.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
/ see that old Brother PETER has
returned to the Republican ranks,
because the money question has set
tied itself. Has it, indeedl l
thought it very unsettled. 1t isn't
thAt-il's the people that have set
tied PETER as an Office holder.
There was a chance tor Office in
the new party when the Republican
ranks were full; PETER grabbed at it;
he got it, too. The issues are now
the same. Not one single bone Of
contention has been removed. But
owing to useless leaders, the Populist
party has lost power. The Repub,
lican party is at the pie counter.
There is a slim chance for bite, but
PETER is after it. 81 leave my party
for my party's good" should be his
motto. They Haunt such politicians
as this before US, and then wonder
that we prefer to be tramps. While
lying in the shade reading old papers
the other day a pal Of mine wrote
the following on. paper bag that
had held cheese and crackers:
"0ld PETER down IN Kansas,
He Of the whiskers long.
Threw down his loved Republicans
Grabbed Popullsm strong.
'He Haunted all his virtues then,
He loved the party well,
But when the plums at last gave out,
Alas! poor PETER fell
There came storm Of honesty,
The money question, too,
And PETERS were the whlskers
That the wind blew through"

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-fOur
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and Overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to get
up many times during the night. The
mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for it's wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.

''The aspiring youth that fred the

Ephesian who set fire to the magnificent
temple of Diana in that city. believing
that he would always be remembered
for his act of sacrilege He certainly
succeeded in establishing a permanent
record for his monstrous crime, though
it can hardly be said that his name has
remained as notorious as the deed he
perpetrated The temple perished, as
people said, partly because the goddess
to whom it was dedicated was too busy
at another place to save it.
"At least that was what the f1atterers
of Alexander the Great declared in aft
er years. They insisted that Diana was
in Macedonia at the time of the fire,
presiding over Alexander birth, which
occurred on the same night. The great
conqueror was apparently pleased with
this conceit, for he Offered, when at the
height of his power, to bebuild the edi

his name should be inscribed upon it a:

however, to undertake the work them

MARK TWAIN ON THE JEWS.

The Jew is not a disturber of the
peace of any country. Even his enc
mics will cOncede that. He is not
loafer, he is not a sot, he is not noisy,
he is not a brawler nor rioter, he is
not quarrelsome. In the statistics of
crime his presence is conspicuously
rare-in all countries. With murder
and other crimes of violence he has but
little to do; he is stranger to the
hangman. In the police courts daily
long roll of assaults" and ''drunk and
disorderlies" his name seldom appears.
That the Jewish home is home in the
truest sense is fact which no one will
dispute. The family is knitted together
by the strongest affections; its members
show each other every due respect, and
reverence for the elders is an inviolate
law of the house.
The Jew is not burden on the char
tiles of the state, nor of the city; these
could cease from their functions with
out affecting him. When he is well
enough, he works; when he is incapac-
itated, his own people take care of him.
And not in a poor and stingy way, but
with fine and large benevolence. His
race is entitled to be called the most
benevolent of all the races of men. A
Jewish beggar is not impossible, per-
haps; such thing may exist, but there
are few men that can say they have
seen that spectacle. The Jew has been
staged in many uncomplimentary forms,
but, so far as 1 know, no dramatist has
done him the injustice to stage him as
beggar. Whenever Jew has real
need to beg, his people save him the
necessity of doing it. The charitable
institutions of the Jews are supported
by Jewish money, and amply. The
Jews make no noise about it; it is done
quietly; they do not nag and poster and
harass us for contributions; they give
us peace, and set us an example-an
example which we have not found our
selves able to follow.

Walking Correctly.

Many children are taught at home
and at school to walk on their toes.
This will do in sick room when one
has squeaking shoes, but 1t is not
natural or elegant Put the heels
down lightly at first and the toes last;
this keeps the body erect, instead of
bending the body forward. as a per-
son must who walks on his toes.
Walking should be more thoroughly
taught in our gymnastic schools. 1t
costs little to learn to walk correctly.
and 1t is well worth while to spend a
little time to acquire the art-New

DRINKING MEN NOT WANTED.

Whisky, beer, and the operation of
railway trains is combination which
no man tolerates any more. Even dis
tillers and brewers would refuse to rid e
behind an engineer who was drunk or
half drunk.
Here is quotation from the book of
rules of the New York Central Railway
Company: 'The use of intoxicating
drink on the road or about the premises
OF the corporation is strictly forbidden.
No one will be employed or continued
in employment who is known to be in
the habit of drinking intoxicating
liquor" The New York Central is not
peculiar in respect to it's attitude
toward drunkards and drinking men.
All railway companies know that the
public will not patronize trains which
are run by whisky or beer drinkers.
Cold business reasons have made
American railway companies the pro-
mOters of temperance reform.
The recent order of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company absolutely
prohibiting the sale of liquors at depot
restaurants and on the property of that
corporation, suggested to the editor of
the Rams Horn letter of inquiry to
manufacturers in respect to their
requirements in the employment of
men. A number of widely known and
successful corporations have replied to
the letter and in each instance the
statement is made that drinking men
are not desired and will not be en-
ployed. The secretary of an important
manufacturing company frankly said
that sit is becoming more and more the
case with all large corporations, that
they are insisting upon strictly temper
ate employees and are discriminating
always in their favor"
If drunken engineer is unfit to run
locomotive drunken shoemaker is
unfit to make pair of boots. Saloon
keepers require that their bartenders
shall be sober men. Business and
liquor drinking do not mix, and they
never have. Lawyers, doctors, editors
and artists, who drink have almost
entirely faded from view. Those who
. remain are living illustrations of the
folly of intemperance.
Times have changed somewhat. Once
talented drunkard might have beer
influential in public life. No drunkari
, can sit in Congress today and be re
spected. In America, at least, the
q drunkard is a played out individual il
any place where he may be found

Some fellow, for lack of employment,
has been roofing around in the Postal
Guide and made another discovery OF
Ohio's pre-eminence. He writes to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer thus:
"Ohio is the only state of the United
States in which the entire alphabet is
represented by the initial letter of its
cities. We have: Akron, Bedford,
Cleveland, Dayton, Elyria, Fremont,
Gallon, Hamilton, Ironton, Jackson,
Kenton, Lima, Mansfield, Niles, Ottawa,
Piqua, Quaker City, Ravenna, Steuben-
Vile, Toledo, Urbana, Vickery, Warren,
Xenia, Youngstown and GAINESVILLE.
Each letter of the alphabet appears at
least once in the list of cities. Not a
single other state of the Union can
boast of this singularity. New York
and Pennsylvania each come quite close
to it, however. They manage to mo-
nopolize the alphabet with the except
| ion of the letter '.X."
