DRY that much OF the long interest, which is

New York. November 2i.--Atwood Violet &
Co. say OF cotton:
The course OF both the Liverpool and Now
York markets today was entirely up TO our
expectations. The buying by the South was
a prominent feature OF tho market. and as
they are on the ground and know the oondi.
tons better than those 400 miles away. as
our local bears are, they took cotton in large
quantities from either those who went short
of the market today or from those who sold
out long contracts. bought. In many Instances,
at very much below present quotations The
spot situation in the South is at the bottom
OF much OF this Southern buying. They ace
the increasing demand for actual cotton and
they know that contracts must sympathze.
Tile only true basis upon which 10 buy cou-
tracts ut amy time Is that there shall be a
strong and continued INQUIRY for the thing
itself as is now and has been the case for
some time. The total amount that has been
brought into. sight since the LIST of September
Is now nearly 800. 900 bales less than in 1896.
consequently We are that much below the crop
81 a seesop the yield OF which was only
S.75S.000 bales.

w. G. ROSS.

William @. Ross the nominee for
county clerk of the peoples and dem
ocratic parties was born in Washing
ton, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1866. He was
educated in the public schools of his
native state, also attened Washington
Academy. He came to Kansas IN 1879
with his parents locating in Plain
view township on farm. He fol-
lowed farming until 1887 when he
began teaching school. Since then
he has taught school during the WIN
ter and farmed during the summer
except one year at school in Salina
Normal University. He has always
been identified with the reform move
ment IN politics, casting his first vote
for Streeter for president in 1888.
Mr. Ross is a young man of the
highest moral character; he has a
good education, and possesses excel
lent clerical ability. He will make a
most efficient, courteous and obliging
county clerk, as he will undoubtedly
be chosen to succeed Mr.. Thornton.

The Phlllipsburg Dispatch CLAIMS
that England and Germany are free
trade countries, and that trusts exist
there more than In the United States.
What kind of history does the Dis
patch man read? England hes
tariff, and while it may be- nearer free
trade than any other nation has dared
to approach, it just suits the purpose
of American trusts in Kidding them
selves of their surplus. But for Mr..
Royce to assert that Germany Is a
free trade country IS to convince us
that he has lost his mind. -Kirwin
Independent.
Don't be too hard on the Di.patch
man, Schuyler. The silly stuff you
mention may have been in one of his
ready made plate editorials, which
he runs in his paper, because they
are furnished free of cost, and be-
cause it shows enterprise" That
stuff is prepared by some eastern
gold standard dudelet who imsgines
his superior wisdom will ed ucate and
civilIzs the ignorant dsnizens of the
wild and wooley west. Surely there
is not man in Kansas who can read.
but knows that Germany Is one of the
very high protection countries.

A Challenge.

Last week the Dispatch printed a
clipping from an exchange showing
the prices of hogs. beef, pork, wheat
and cattle in 1896 and comparing
with the prices of the same products
IN 1899. A great point is made over
the slight increase in prices. It is
all credited up to Mckinley. We
challenge Mr.. Royce to print in his
tables the prices of these same COM
moditles in 1897 and 1899 and ex-
plain upon political grounds the rea-
son for the vast shrinkage IN prices.
Second, we challenge Mr.. Royce to
print in his tables the prices of -four,
shelf hardware. lumber, coffee, tea,
stoves, machinery, wire and every
other article farmer has to buy in
1896 and compare with prices in 1899,
and then explain where the prosperi-
ty comes in with ten per cent rise
in farm products and an hundred
per cent rise in the prices of every
thing the farmer has to buy. All
manufactured goods are vastly higher
IN price than they were in 1896, yet
the wages of the laborers have not all
been put back to where they were
then-and in no instance have been
raised in accordance with the rise in
price of the article manufactured.
While the Dispatch is printing fig
ureF, please print all of them. A
fraction of the truth can readily be
made to appear falsehood.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1899-10-26

Mr.. Royce has been admitted to
the bar Several bars in fact), and If
he should die today all legal wisdom
would perish with him, and yet his
BRAIN Is so active thinking up some
false statement to make against some
political opponent that the reading
of section 8, chapter 129 of the laws
OF 1897 get lost in the mighty caverns
OF bis great head! If the time ever
comes when he should happen to
want to do something right in this
line, he will find by reading the Sec
ton named, that the vacancy in the
sheriff's Office at the time stated was
not the kind that can be flied by a
copmittee-nor can any vacancy be
legally filed by chairman and Sec
rotary, as such, at any time.
This notice of his squub is taken
only that the decent republicans may
see j1st how accurate the self-consti-
tuted boss of the party is. His
opinion of Mr.. Thornton shows to
what things he expects an honest man
to stoop. In the mean time Mr..
Smith has no opposition and the peo-
pie, who know a good man, will no
doubt wickedly fuse" that far with
the republican pa, ty.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY in speech
made at Ackley, Iowa, during bis
tour last week says: 1--WE are on a
gold basis and We mean to stay
there" At last the atmosphere is
clarified, and we know what to expect
from the administration. Secretary
Cages plan to retire the greenbacks
goes. Every promise made to the
silver element about international
agreement" is thrown to the winds
and the president comes out openly
and brez snlY for the Wall street gold
gamblers.

HE daily papers quote Governor
Stanley as saying the Twentieth Kan
sas was by far the best regiment in
the Philippines, Eighteen months
ago Mr.. Stanley and his party friends
were saying the very meanest things
they could about the Twentieth, and
Gov. Leedy's manner of raising the
volunteers. As all other states fol-
lowed the plan of eniisting their
militia, it may be that Gov. Leedy's
plan had something to do with the
efficiency of the regiment.

THEY'RE COMING HOME.

From sun kissed isles, ten thousand miles,
Through ocean 6 fieck and foam.
From fields they won, their battles done,
Thank GOD, they're coming home.
By day and night through flood and fight,
In camp their couch to share.
Our heart and tongue around them flung
The mantle of our prayer.
A pillared cloud to shield and shroud;
AT night shaft of flame,
To speed their arm, to guard from harm
And light their road to fame.
Some come not back, their last bivouac,
The field wherein they lie;
Half sad and grim, our battle hymn,
The song is more a sigh.
Ger thankful lands we re ach our hands
here sunset last may fall,
And say again to flag ard men,
Our hearts await you ALL
And soon or late, we watch ard wait,
The very hour until
The train bear down upon the town,
From off the Pauline hill.
Thecannons roar as ne err before,
And broad bright banners blow,
The one of old in stripe and fold,
OF long, long years ago.
With hating feet along the street,
Well l ad the column by;
And over head as on we tread,
The starry flag sh all fly.
From sun kissed isles, thousand miles,
Through oceans feck and foam,
From fields they won, their battles done,
Thank God, they re coming home.
