Three young men of lola left
for the cool shades of Colorado. They
were Tom Mcclure, Charlie Clark and
VIII Nicely. The two former were
clerks at Sauer q Steyer's, Clark hav-
ing quit some time ago to take this
trip, while Mcclure severed his con-
nection Saturday night. Nicely is one
of Hershberger's BARRIERS and it is
believed that he was taken along to
shave and trim the boys in case the

good deal of joshing about the prob
able length of their trip and indig-
nantly denied that they were merely
going to the harvest fields. Denver

JOHN II. CURRAN, Sec.
The REGISTER quotes this address"
in full in order that the people may
see just how silly, ignorant and shall
now to ask the people of Kansas to
them with the administration of trust
this State.
Read that first paragraph, accusing
the Republicans of claiming credit for
sunshine and rain and foreign wars
and famines, "the salt in the sea, "
and all the rest of the rot. Can such
drivel be characterized as anything
else but silly? 1t hasn't even the re-
deeming grace of being funny. 1t is
simply Incidentally silly.
And read that sentence. "The fusion
forces have this to say regarding all
hoi polloi of political rot" Evident
ly the ignoramus who wrote it hadn't
the faintest idea what "hoi polloi"
means. The expression is common
enough in political literature and
means simply "the multitude" the
common people. Insert that meaning
where "hoi polloi" is used above and
see how it fits.
But the worst of all is the calm as.
sumption that the Populists of Kansas
have to be told what to do on the 4th
of July. How do the patriotic men of
that party like being told, by public
proclamation, that "they must taket the
lead in all patriotic demonstrations"
and that they must "shout for Bryan"
when the word reaches the celebration
grounds that he has been nominated
at Kansas City? How does that latter
command fit i'm with their idea of the
appropriate way to celebrate this
great National, non-partizan holiday?
If the Populists are to shout for Bry-
an then surely the Republicans have a
right to shout for Mckinley, and the
Middle-of 'the-Roaders have right to
shout for Barker, and the Socialists
have a right to shout for their candi-
date, whoever he is, and the Prohibi-
tionists for theirs, and so on down
the line. And wouldn't it be beauti-
full, inspiring celebration, with the
people divided up into little squads,
shouting for rival politician candi-
dates.
So far as the memory of this paper
serves, Mr.. Taylor Riddle, chairman,
and Mr.. John H. CuIran, secretary, of
the Populist party of Kansas, are the
first political leaders to show the
lack of sense and decency and patriot
ism, the brazn and unblushing eff
frontery and Observation-Disclosures
make the outpouring of the people on
the Nations natal day the occasion
for a partizan demonstration. And
the rebuke should be so crushing that
no future leaders vii ! follow the
bad example. 1t is pleasant to note
that the silly creed has already been
denounced by prominent Populists in
many parts of the State. Populists
will go to celebrations on the 4th of
July all over the State, as they have
been doing all their lives without the
direction of their political bosses; but
we fancy there will be mighty few
cheers for Bryan. Theaverage Popu-
list is an American citizen before he
is partizan, and he knows what the
4th of July is for.

6corchers' Protective association to 3
Detroit Free Press man, "a machine
heavily laden with tinware and guided
by an elongated individual made zig
gag line down Griswold street. The
rider was almost completely obscured
by dishpans, lunchbaskets and choice
assortment of kitchen utensils, his
neither limbs and his windtossed beard
being the only means of Identifying
him with humanity. AS ne passed
down the street he kept constantly
jingling an unmusical cowbell. which
did not alright as much as 1t amused.
He was rare street spectacle, was this
movable tinshop, and street car pa
irons and pedestrians CAPPED widely at
him. But he kept steadily on his way,
as though his was the most ordinary
business in the world, and by and by he
stopped at the house of regular Gus
toner and sold a teapot. Farther up

laborer on bicycle. He was acting
as steam barge for cart loaded with
plaster and building material, and he
footed an alarm signal that made NOV
ing vans and every sort of street vehi-
Gle give him the right of way.

Hauling pown the Flag.

In 1867, thirty-three years ago, the
United States procured from Russia
by purchase and ceSSion the territory
Of Alaska, described by meteS and
bounds of latitude and longitude. The
territory coded to the United States
had been in the quiet and peacable
possession and occupancy of Russia for
more than forty years prior to 1861.
People and citizens of the United
States drifted into and occupied the
ceded territory raising the United
States flag as an emblem Of authority,
possession and ownership, and of liber.
ty and independence to the citizen.
Unexpectedly portions of Alaska occu-
pied by our people were found to be
rich in deposits of gold, and became
the center of attraction for thousands
of our people, and soon attracted
thither vast numbers from other coun-
tries and among them came subjects
of the English government, which, as
in South Africa, asserted title to the
gold bearing region of our Alaskan
purchase. The portion involved in the
controversy was twenty miles in width
and three hundred miles long-6,0OC
square miles Of rich gold deposits.
In his Canton speech in response tc
his notification ola renominatio to the
presidency, Mr.. Mckinney asserted I
firm determination to hold every foo
of territory over which the American
flag iloated. But here was strip o
country over which our flag had float
ed without question of right for thirty
years, thousands of our citizens wer
there in pursuit of their occupations
and for the past three years the ava
