have nothing to say against Mr.. Bowman's op.
ponent, on personal grounds, have much to
say against Burton or Baker for United States
senator. The fnsionists can find better man
than the men presented by the Republicans,
and II Mr.. Bowman is elected, he will support
that man, whoever he may happen to be. No
man who does not want the United States sem
ate made up Of tools of the money power can
afford to vote against Mr.. Bowman.
I advise the warmest support of Judge Riggs.
The Office of judge is not Of partisan nature.
What we want is ability and integrity. Judge
Riggs is thorough American. He believes
in the impartial enforcement of law as it is
found in the statute. books. He fears not the
law-breaker, and will not favor him.
1t is said that Mr.. Smart is bidding for what
is known as the whisky vote. Judge Riggs
bids for the honorable and the upright-for the
law-fearing and the law-abiding. 1t is easy
enough to choose. Don't be caught on the
trumpedup charge that Smart was counted out.
Riggs was counted out bv the election judges
in Douglas county, and the state senate re.
counted the ballots counted in that county, and
simply gave Riggs the Office Of which he had
been deprived through false returns. If Smart
has friends who have so little regard for the
sacredness Of the ballot, he is in bad company,
to say the least. Remember that it was Riggs
who was counted ont, and not Smart.
III this campaign, lines should be strictly
drawn. He that is not forus is against us. A
greater k'e to liberty than Jeff Davis is abroad
in The land. Treason against republics is hatch
ing III high places. A standing army, increased
TX hion, perpetual bonds, innumerabe trusts,
crushing he liberties Of free people, taxation
without reprrntation, government by injunc-
lion weapons of kings, 10 matter who uses
them
Ii Rcpublcanism wins, all j. lost, II the
tendency to one-mau government succeeds, al!
oth,r forms lose chance. If there is no
foundation, there can be no hope of fine
building. We can save the foundation in
Br> an. Aterward, we can build. Destroy the
s ppers-that is the duty of the hour.

reasons for so doing, even if they are as sophis-
tical and lacking in merit as those given for
overtnrning the court of visitation.
ut behooves every citizen of this state, no
matter to what party he belongs, who believes
in government by the people and for the peo-
pie, and that we ought to have equitable regu.
lations for the control Of corporations, to vote
down this proposed amendment. Let us at
least preserve what we have, if we are unable
to make further advance. The voting of this
amendment to the constitution means the per-
manent continuation of the court of appeals.
1t the court of appeals is continued and the
law amended, taking away the discretionary
power of the supreme court to review the de-
cisions OF the court of appeals, our system will
be one of the best yet devised"
We will add to what the Commoner saws that
there are cases on the docket at Fl. Scott that
would be heard at the next March term, if the
court was still i'll existence at that time, but
which would not be heard for two or more
years if they are taken to the supreme court.
With the addition of new business constantly
coming in, the supreme court would be swamp

to, and pass upon, each case, whether there are
three or seven judges. A majority of the judges
must agree a case before decision can be
rendered. Three men, or majority of three,
can agree more easily than seven, or major
ity of seven. The idea that seven Judges
would do so much mole work than three is er-
roncous.
A great deal has been sale. about Economy
by the friends of the amendment. There
would be saving in some respects, but there
would be no saving to the litigants, who have
the greater part of the expense to pay. On the
other hand, they would have to pay the
additional expense of sending lawyers to To.
peka to attend to their cases. Of course, it's
nice for the lawyers to go to the state capital
and appear before that august body, the su-
preme court, but the litigant must pay the ex-
ira expense. The court fees in the supreme
coult are DO less than in the court of appeals.
On the whole, little or nothing would be
saved by abolishing the court of appeals and
increasing the number of supreme judges, and
much valuable time would be lost to litigants.
There are numerous reasons why the amend
ment should be defeated, but those here given
are sufficient.

How Trusts Effect Kansas.

A bushel of 1900 Kansas wheat will buy less
lumber less nails, less tinware, less hardware,
less saddlery less shoes, less queensware, less
sugar and less medicine than in 1896. A days
labor will also buy less OF the above commodi-
ties. This is an admitted fact, and yet some
people who claim to be thinkers and students
along economical lines follow the delusion of
so called Mckinley prosperity, and cry out, at

Paramount Issues.

4 ,nhh'ans are trying to riditule the sop
p,,i oA' for its paramount issues" We are
informed that, eight years ago, tariff was the
"n,ia,no,im issue" -Four years ago, free sill
yer was the "paranount issue This year,
imperialism is the paramount ISSUE
AS I see it, there is no fun 10 be extrac ed
from the several positions taken by the Demo
cratic party. Eight years ago, the Republic
an party professed to be friendly to free silver,
so the Democrats could only oppose the Repub-
licans on the tariff issue. In the rapid advance
of Repubicanism from bad to worse, the cause
of financial reform was betrayed. Republican.
ism destroyed silver as redemption money, and
has inaugurated the policy OF perpetual ma
tionll banks and national debt The attitude
OF the Republicans on the money question four
years ago forced that question to the lead, for
the position assumed was more dangerous to
our .tpublic than the position upon the tariff.
Now, Republicanism has advanced to still
more dangerous attitude on the other questions.
Each presidential campaign has opened with
Republcanisin in advanced hostility to free in
stitutions The Democratic party believes, to.
day, as in the past, that the Republican party
is wrong in its methods of raising revenue to
support the general government, aud it believes
as heartily to-day as four years ago that Repub-
lieanism is wrong on the money question; but
it believes that imperialism is of more import
ance than tariff or free silver.
Victory at the polls has caused Republican
ism to run mad Democracy and Populisin
will wage eternal warfare on tariff that en-
riches the few and impovershes the many, and
will Join issues with Repubcanism on the
question of whether we shall have money for
the people or money for the bond-holder till
the question is settled in favor of the people.
Popusm and Democracy will fight imperialism
till imperialism is so dead it can never be res
urrected.

dates. Not much need be said. They are all

CHANGED TO BRYAN.
Veterans WbOrM Marched With Sherman.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 22.-A Kokemo
dispatch says that the Republicans of that To-
cali,y were discoucerted, to-day, by the an
nouncenent that Edward w. Freeman and
sixteen her civil war veterans in his company,
who marched with Sherman to the sea, had
renounced Mckinley and will vote for Bryan
this election.
Mr.. Freeman is a well.known newspaper
man, and has resided here for fifty years. He
was postmaster of Kokomo for twelve years
under Grant and other Republican presidents,
and has held county Offices of honor and trust.
He was brother-in.law Of the late T. c. Phil.
lips, founder of the Kokomo Tribune, one of
the oldest and best.kuown Republican newspa.
pers in the state.
M. Freeman and his sixteen comrades who
have abandoned the Mckinley ranks are all
substantial citizens.
They departed on the issue OF imperialism
and pension methods. They will vote the
straight Democratic ticket, from president
down. All are enthusiastic for John w. Kern
for governor.
"The Topping" is all one way in this vicin-
ity. Nobody in these parts who voted for
Bryan four years ago will vote for Mckinley
this year, except one, and he calls himself
Populist, and not Republican or Democrat.
The gold Democrats are all for Bryan this year.

AMONG THE PLAYERS.

An entertainment of rare vaudeville
artists will be seen at ShellpOt Park
the coming week There are six excel
lent acts on the program including the
beautiful Irene and her canine Won
der Zaza. This dog assists Miss Irene
in a number of acrObatic tricks that
are really marvellous. Not a word is
spoken to the little fellow and it is
plain to be seen that he thoroughly
enjoys his part of the performance.
Melville and the funny clown are also
in the bill. His comedy juggling is a
feature wherever he appear; he is as
sisted by Miss Conway, and the act
always pleases. James Bingham is
another worthy feature; as a ventrilO-
quist he has few equals. His walking
and talking figure will no doubt be the
town talk after its first appearance
There are six acts in the program, all
first class. The balance OF the bill in
cludes Tom Mack. a minstrel of bic
reputation, KarsOn and Willard and
Kitty Bingham. a clever singing sou.
brette Taking the entertainment in
its entirety, It can be safely pronounc
ed meritorious in every detail, and M
doubt vii be rewarded by a larg,
patronage.
