notion has got us into it. Have
you considered what this means?
/ say, therefore, that, if we
have the future of the republic
at heart, we must not only not
uphold the administration in it's
course, because we are in it,
but just because we are in it,
having been got into it in such a
way the American people should
stamp the administrations pro-
ceedings with a verdict of disap-
proval SO clear and emphatic,
and get out Of it, in such a fash
ion, that this will be solemn
warning to future presidents in
stead of a seductive precedent. -
Carl Schurz.
AFTER 1900 years OF Christian
ity, intellectual growth and of a
constantly improving civiliza-
tion, in which the tender kind
ness and loving teachings of the
gentle Nazarine have been
thrown like light into the utter
most parts OF the earth, we wit
the most phenomenal paradox
in governments which the race
has ever experienced. The gov
ment of Russia, agovernment
with the largest standing army
in the world, declares for disarm-
ament and proposes universal
peace. But the great republic of
the United States, founded by
Washington, Franklin, Jefferson
and their compatriots, declares
for war, conquest, subjugation
and annexation. Russia would
be the peacemaker; the United
States the warmaker. In all his
tory there is not another SO strik-
ing and inexplicable an antithe-
sis. u. Sterling Morton.

THE officers of the democrat
and peoples party central COM
mittee met last Saturday and
elected the following Executive
Campaign Committe, of the two
committees, viz: Chairman, Will
E. Stoke; Secretary, E. S. Brodie;
Assistant Secretary, M. L. Har-
rison; Treasurer, L. c. Breeoen.
This committee of four, two
populists and two democrats,
will have charge of the business
of the compaign, and (barring
the chairman) are able and will
ing to show the opposition a
"merry time" in Barton county
politics for the next few months
A CERTAIN Republican in this
city who thinks he is quite q
humorist remarked after the
Stanley meeting Saturday even.
ing that it is one of the peculiari-
ties of Kansas politics this year
that Republican governor ol
the state should take the stump

The Hutchinson News notes
the fact that the Chieftain altho a
populist paper, rejoices over the
success of the democrats in
North Carolina. Well, yes, we
"rejoice" some, and also over
the Is, 200 majority in Alabama
and we expect to do the same,
only a little more SO, when Ohio
and Indiana are carried by the
democrats next November, and
when Bryan is declared elected,
and the whole country is redeem
ed from republicanism, "with all
that implies" our big rooster
will crow until the echoes Of Cow
Creek will reverberate, and Bro.
Morgan will do as did Peter, go
out and weep bitterly.-La
Crosse Chieftain.
RoGUEs tremble when the
grand juries meet. Thieves hide
out when the officers OF the law
are about. The Hanna press is
being filled with scare-heads
about what will happen to the
Wall Street votaries if Bryan is
elected. The grand jury OF the
great common people is assemb
ling; their officers are abroad il
the land, and are keeping an eye
on Wall Street especially.

money on earth?" And because
of that 90 cent loss he argues
that ssthe stamp of the govern
ment does not make money
good" Surely our neighbor is
hard up for argument-he has
just 10 cents less than a dollars
worth now on hand. After the
November election we believe
that 80 cents argument will
''look like 30 cents" to the edi-
tor of the Tribune.
FOLLOWING is the county ticket
nominated by the fusion forces
of Stafford county, last week:
For representative, Henry NJ.
Lyon; district clerk, Frank SUIT
ton; county attorney, Tom
Moseley; probate Judge, Charles
B. Darr; county superintendent,
Miss Matte Buckle; county COM
missioner, Jacob Hitz. This is
''Sutton"-ly a good ticket; the
candidates are ''Mose-ly" pops,
but if the republicans "Darr" to
start any "Ly-on" the ticket it
will only make the boys "Buckle'
on the armor and make their
'Hitz" the more ceiling. See?
A LARGE standing army, which
would be the inevitable result OF
McKinley's reelection, would
mean that the epeople would have
to be doubly taxed to keep up
it's expenses, and also that every
able bodied young man would be
compelled to do military duty.

OF course, the wealthy men could
buy their boys commissions by
sending them to the military

'sFAR-AwAY birds have pretty

week published a list of names
of alleged floppers from the dem
ocrat and populist parties to
Mckinley. We will wager a new
hat that half of the list is a

the other half are those of men
who have never voted anything

WONDER how many farmer
boys in Barton county would
relish being COMPELLED, by the
laws of the land, to do service in
the far away islands of the Phil
ippines, where disease and insan-
ity has already, in less than the
two years that we have had men
over there, killed or ruined
for life more young men than
has the bullets of the enemy?
How many fathers will vote this
fall to endorse the expansion
policy and make compulsory mil
itary service in times of peace
necessary? How many of you
young voters like the idea?

tory.
Horace Speed United states district
attorney, intends to take action re
garding the development Of the Indian
reservations; Says he: ~ shall favor
opening these reservations to the small
farmer, instead OF keeping them lock
ed up for few persons who contro
thousands OK acres for cattle raising. in
spite OF the fact that every acre should
be producing annually it's crop Of corn
wheat, cotton or other agricultural
products. These reservations are as
fertile and productive as any part Of
Oklahoma. Where there are now no.
thing except cattle trails and few
houses. there should be good roads and
bridges,a heavy rural population good
schools and churches and a proper en-
forcement OF law. There are thousands
of industrious farmers ready and anxi-
GUS to develop these grass. grown lands
to build mp surrounding towns aud TO
make permanent Improvements.
Take the 0 age Indian reservation
DO III EAhuDAts fAuEE Aduu cannon Le
found in the southwest, yet after years
of occupancy by the Indians, traders
and herds OF cattle the reservation is
still practically undeveloped. Acting
under instructions from the Indian de-
partment the agent would divide these
lands among the Indians, giving 10
each the right TO lease his portion to
a farmer. These Lenses could be eSe-
cuted under the guidance CT the agent
and the Indian protected from schem-
ers. / should like to see the leases
made for a period of five years, cers
tainly not less than three years, the
idea being to give as much permanen-
cy as possible to the improvements.
The leases should provide for suffic-
lent improvements by the lessees to
make the leased lands good farms
There should be further provision
that IL the lessee did not renew at the
termination of his lease he should be
paid fair price for his improvements,
the amount to be determined by
board of appraisers.
1.-THE lease money should go TO the
individual Indian, and think that the
revenue tn as derived would soon over
come any prejudice of the Indians
against such an occupancy of their
lands. This plan would soon bring in
railroads and better social conditions.
The development would be SO rapid
that the isolated, lazy Indian would
find himself N the midst of thrift and
industry, and actual conditions would
come nearer solving the Indian prob
lem than all the theoretical doctrines
that could be expounded.
In the Wichita, Kiowa and Co
manche reservations, in the south
western part of Oklahoma. the same
plan should prevail. The lands there
must first be allottad, after which the
allotments should be leased The
adoption of this policy in Indian terri
tory will make that vast expanse of
rich farming land a new country in a
few years. The white farmer, not the
Indian politician, will dominate, and
the home builder and the town builder
will take the place of Incidence and
retrogression,
