INGALLS, ON BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan has distinctly lost ground in
this part of the world the past year. Pub
lie interest in him has diminished. He
does not draw we'll. Intellectually he has
retrOgraded He has cheapened himself
He has that fatal facility Of speech which
is an irresistible temptation to incidence
He repeats himself and seems to be des-
titute of versatility. He is specious but
prosaic and commonplace and is degenerate
ing into a secondhand dealer in political
platitudes. 1t Is his misfortune to talk
too much and not think enough.
If there was only another plank of
Populist platform that Bryan could
steal he would sail into the 1900 cam
paign amid blaze of fireworks. But
left to his own resources he is falling as
fiat as he was when, he preached that
the tariff was the great issue on which
the happiness of mankind rested
Who hears anything about the tariff
now? = ..--,. I'D.

eyes and they are beginning to believe
Just what We have told them the last two
years.
How can real Populists support the
Democratic party in the face of such
insults?
1t Is the same here and everywhere.
The same paper says:
Another remarkable feature was the
adoption OF the resolution introduced and
vigorously advocated by Mr.. Weeks, favor
ing the nomination Of Barker and DON
nelly for president and vice president.
This resolution was carried by q unanimous
vote, every delegate present rising to his
Feet thus declaring their sentiment by q

that the Populists of Iowa in the next ma
tional convention will stand as a rock for
no one but Populists In name. heart and
declaration to be their standard bearers in
the great conflict Of 1900 which will rescue
the party from the pitfalls and destruction
set and commenced In 1896. Iowa is now
for Barker and Donnelly and not a man in
the convention was for Mr.. Bryan. This
action of Iowa Populists will push along the
ball set rolling by our Kentucky and other
Southern brethren and set the prairies of
the Northwest afire for honest work and for
true men. It's effect upon the future of
the party and its candidate for these posi-
t1ons cannot be overestimated. 1t serves
to show to the people of the United States |
that the Populists Of Iowa are standing |
alone and for their principles It shows |
now that any man who is dissatisfied with |
either of the old parties may safely cast |
his lot with the Peoples party for it will |
not act as an annex to or stool pigeon for
any other political party in existence, but |
stick to the text, fight out its own battles (
and continue in a straightforward course |
until the battle is won.

A Snake Story.

Jack Vaughn; of Jackson township,
called, yesterday, and told us q snake
story. As Jack is strictly temperate, we
are sure he hadn't any of the red-eye sort
of snakes in his boots. Here is his story.
Several neighbors were to meet at Will
Andcrson's to practice some new songs
Among the number were Mrs. Jacob
Askins and her nephew George Severn,
who drove over in buggy. AS they
were driving along they saw what they
supposed was a rail lying across the
road. 1t was dusk, and objects at a
short distance were not plainly seen.
When they approached the rail, however,
they found that it was huge snake,
reaching clear across the road George
got out of the buggy. thinking to kill
the snake, but it had no notion of being
killed without fight, and it raised it's
head and started for George. 1t was
such a huge monster that George con-
cluded that discretion was the better
part of valor. so he ran to the buggy,
climbed in and whipped up the horses,
leaving his snakeship behind,
1t is said that there are two or three
very large snakes in Putnam and Jack
son townships, which have been seen on
rare occasions for several years. We
would suggest ring snake-hunt.

Anderson COunty's Soldiers

To the Editor Of the Capital:
While perusing your very interesting
list OF the soldiers furnished by the var
ious counties of Kansas for the Twentt'
eth Kansas, notice that the proportion
furnished by Anderson county is, accord
ing to the population, greater by tar
than either Shawnee or Wyandotte coua-
ties. Here are the figures:
Anderson county, soldiers 81,
population (189S) .................. IA, l43
Shawnee county, soldiers 175.
population (189S) so, oS2
Wyandotte county, soldiers Ill.
population (1s9S) .................. 65.5o7
From the above it will be seen that the
ratio of soldiers furnished, to the popu-
lation reported. is greater in Anderson
county than either of the above.
Then more men we're furnished for the
rwenty-frst regiment from Anderson
county than for the Twentieth. In all,
that county has furnished for the late
war with Spain about 140 men. and we
doubt If this record can be equalled. Be-
sides this, they furnished the boys in
Company 4 who first entered
Malolos, the insursent capital.
Although the loyal residents of that
will hardly claim to be from
Missouri" yet they desire to "be shown"
il any county in the state can show more
men in the late war with Spain in pro-
portion to the population.
