1t has always been urged by the re-
.publicans that the protective tariff
was necessary evil to enable our in
dustries to live. Prom the same source
we learn that our protection made
goods are sold abroad in competition
with the foreign made article ut Il
profit. The question naturally occurs
As to why the protect We tariff Should
renlain in force and the statistics of
trade give the answer. It is to pre-
vent the foreign made goods being
brought into this country, thereby en-
abllng the manufacturers to sell their
products to our own people at Il high
er price than they are sold at abroad
If questions of patriotism are to be
discussed where do these fellows stand
who rob our home people upder II
protective tariff? They are the fellows
who shelter themselves under the folds
of the E;ig and call the people who de-
mand that this government be run by
the constitution, traitors. Protection
is legalized robbery at the present
time.

Kansas has been awarded the third
prize for fruit exhibits at the Paris
exhibition. When we first learned
this we were filled with glee, but read
ing little farther we found that poor
old Missouri, moss grown and de-
splSed, was first and Illinois second.
then we felt certain that we had been
buncoed. 1t is certainly great thing
to be even third in worlds exhibit
tlOn, but to have Missouri first after
all we have thought and said is Bit
ter pill, but 1t has to be swall lowed.

The democrats and popuiists met in
Barton county last week and no.ni-
mated a county ticket. The two con
vent'ons met in sepcrate halls AMI af-
ter organizing came together. anu un-
der the two thirds rule nominated a
county ticket. it had been previ ously
agreed that the populists should have
certain places on the ticket and the
democrats the balance. The Joint
convention WAS harmonious and re-
suited in the notni mating of ticket
entirely satisfactory TO all. The idea
of joint convei. .tions and two thirds of
all votes cast tn nominate seems to- be
growing in favor.

The republican politicians are hav-
ing a really good time and easy. in
carrying New York, now that it has
been discovered, as they claim, that
the ice trust in that city inv olives a lot
OF democratic politicians. As mat
ter OF fact men are pretty much alike
without regard to party when it comes
to taking advantage of the law to
make dollar. Our kick comes in on
the CONDITION brought about by the
republicans which makes these combi-
nations possible and it is a noticeable
TACT that the republicans are letting
this phase of the matter alone.

The seventh congressional situation

The seventh congressional situation
is growing no better rapidly. l. p.
F, Campbell is cut in Il letter in which
he offers to withdraw if Duyal will
We wonder what next; only a short
time since he was out In an interview
which stated that while one OF them
might withdraw, one OF them certainly
would stay in. We shall patiently
await the next ultimatum.
|. MIR. Campbell says: Il today place
my resignation, and declination, as
the nominee for congress of the popu-
list party in the seventh congressional
district. in the hands of the populist
committee of said district, with the
request that the same be accepted by
such committee when the democratic
committee of the seventh district re-
ceives from you and accepts IA like
resignation and deciinatiOn. This is
to be done within the next fifteen days.
This places the matter wholly with
in your power. II you conclude to
hand in your resignation and decline
to be the nominee, then my iesigna-
tation takes effect. If you conclude
not to do SO. then my resignation and
declination is to be returned to me
without actiO on by the committee.
81 have thought seriously of tender
ing my resignation unqualifedly and
without the conditions attached to it
AS above and would do so but for the
fact that il is my belief that nine,
tepths OF. the populists in the district
and fully One-half OF the democrats
are opposed to nay doing so. / have
received hundreds of protests against
my dong so, and am very confident
that such action would result in very
great dissatisfaction and at the same
time would subject me to severe criti-
ciSm.
If | should resign abs olutely it
would leave my party without a nom
inee and trammeled by your demo-
cratic nomination, and you would be
made the nominee in II measure by
my action and not by the action of
the populist party. If we both resign
the field wifi be clear and the privi-
lege and responsibility will be upon
the people and not upon us TO select "a
candidate.

An eastern paper says that it is
proposed to incorporate the word
''thon' in the Eugiish language To be
used when it is desired to express
both sexes. For example take this
sentence: Every student should ac-
quaint himself or herself with some
method by which he or she can posi-
lively cOrrelate the facts of his or hel.
knowledge: With the use Of the new
pr'ououn the sentence would be writ
ten: Every student should ;acqu;tint
thonsef with some method by which
tnon can correlate the facts in thUns
knowledge. The adoption OF this
pronoun would "iiiI a long felt want. {"
