little gathering a few evenings ago, at
which the guests got TO telling stories
Mr.. Burnley claimed that he had new

New York awhile ago a fine-lOOking young
woman. who wore stylish clothes sat
near me in the sleeper. Il was d very

decision was also against them. The
supreme court pointed out that the
procedure IN contests under the Goebel
law was the same that had been fol-
lowed IN Kentucky for a hundred
Years, and that the same system had
been adopted in many other states.
The Goebel law has failed in its OBJ
Ject, which was TO prevent election
frauds by Republican desperadoes, and
now, IN the interest of fairness and
peace, the Democrats propose to re-
move its Objectionable features, no
matter how many objections msy be
raised by the party of assassination.

ORGANIZED GREED.

Republican newspapers keep calling
attention TO the enormous dividends
distributed among trust magnates as
an evidence of prosperity. AS If this
were not conclusive, they cite as fur
Their evidence the unparalleled size Of
interest payments distributed arong
the bankers and bondholders of the
east every quarter.
The Standard Oil company declares
quarterly dividends which amount to
Se0,0O0,e00 year-doubling the amount
actually invested. and still the stock
holders are not satisfied. The steel
trust made $21. 600 900 last year on a
capital of $25,00O,O 600 and the indications
are that it will double last years gain
this year.
Commenting on this peculiar style
OF prosperity, the Chicago Tribune,
one of the strongest Republican news
papers in the country, says:
There seems to be no limits to the
rapacity of corporations which have
been built up at the expense of the
public by excessive tariff protection.
by Illegal railroad determinations or
official favoritism. The men who rule
these corporations may not want the
earth, but they certainly want the
United States and the abundance
thereof"
Through Hanna and his horde of
trust agents and attorneys who are
whOoping things up for Mckinley and
Roosevelt, these combinations of cap
ital are exerting themselves and pull
ing every string known to political
trickery to continue the present ad-
ministration in power. The Tribune
tells how they are going about it,. 1t
says they are determined to win if
they have to wreck the Republican
party in the accomplishment of their
selfish ends.
They put their creatures in all Of
fetal places and aim to control legis-
lation and official action wherever
their interests are touched at any
point. They demand subsidies for their
ships. And, in the language of the
Tribune. they insist that the money
banks in which they are heavily inter
ested, so they may be able to control
the stock markets and to lend to the
taxpayers the money which the latter
have contributed to defray govern
mental expenses
Their demands are usually complied
with, and their mastery of the Repub-
lican party is at once its strength and
disgrace. 1t has become powerful as
the gambler becomes a factor in ward
politics, and rich as the harlot wakes
arrogant on the price of her shame.
The administration party is in league
with the trust evil 1t maintains ques-
tionabla relations with the Standard
Oil company, the Carnegie company,
the sugar trust, the International Nav
igation company. the National City
bank and other colossal corporations
which overshadow the government
itself and are never satisfied.
When will these aggregations of le-
galized hooters get enough? When 'xill
the monster of organized greed get its
fill from the blood and strength of the
people? When will the people conclude
it has had enough? When will 1t be-
come generally and we'll known that
the Republican party and the organi-
cation of trusts and bondholders are
one and the same?
Every day the evidences are piling
up. BY election day the voters will
understand it.
Then look out for the landslide.

The following from Editor Howard
OF the salina Press indicates that he is
onto the campaign liar: THE Republi-
can newspaper that declares the ''coun-
try Is roaring with prosperity" DELHI
erately and maliciously lies. There is
prosperity in the country. but it sleeps
with Rockefeller and the other blood
sucking multi-millionaire trust mag
mates. Not since 1892 have the masses
OF the people been so impoverished and
labor employed at so low scale. The
country is in the hands of the money
barons' and little they care for the
prosperity of the masses"

Comparisons with the figures OF hYe

with those OF last Saturday. WITHIN the
last six weeks the banks have EXTENDED

they have increased their holdings oil law

that within the six weeks the surplus re-
serve has decreased only s4,5O0,UoO.
Fne strong position of the banks in the
face of the large increase of loans is, OF
course. due TO the fact that until last week
they gained money from the Sub Treasury
and from the Interior. Since then they lost

Consolidated Gas went CT during the
