MORE MORTGAGES.
What Mckinley Prosperity Is Do
ing for the Farmers of
Iowa

The farmers of Iowa are pointed to
with pride by the republican man
ayers as fair opponents of Mckinley
prosperity. But the records tell a
tale of woe that overshadows even the
exaggerated talk of prosperity.
The Free Press of Mount Pleasant,
Ia, publishes from the records of
two years how the farmers of Henry
county are steadily increasing their in
debtedness. The Free Press does this
to correct the false statements of pros
perity. 1t says:
while certain class in our coun-
try have rapidly accumulated wealth,
and the list of the millionaires of the
country has increased within the last
two years, this record shows a steady
increase of the indebtedness secured
on Henry county farms. Here is the
record:
At the end of the last year the
balance against the county was. .$34, 494 50
We commenced new the record OF
the second year. and the balance
against the county from January,
1892 is shown to be. 16. 906 Sc
In two years the mortgage indebt-
edness of the county has in
cr6dSeo o4p7VS 40
'Thisis the real estate mortgage rec
ord, and does not include chattel
mortgages or private Indebtedness.
This is the showing-we have been
very careful to have it impartial and
correct. 1t is respectfully submitted
to all who may be interested"

TURNING TO THE DEMOCRACY.
Boilers OF 1sse Are Correcting Asis-
takes Which Have Come Home
to Them.

In the campaign of 1896 many demo-
Gratis, stubborn in their personal con-
victions, bolted the Chicago platform
and aided TO elect William Mckinley
president.
That this was a mistake these con-
scientious but ill-advised men are now
ready to admit.
Among those who helped the repuo-
lican party to its success was former
Gov. Chamberlain, soldier of the union
and somewhat of an independent in
politics.
In letter given to the public, former
Gov. Chamberlain says:
1.-THE real live issues so far as can now
be seen, are imperialism and trusts. On
both these issues the republican party
is hopelessly wrong. Under Mckinley's
lead we see our government embarked
on current which is carrying US stead
ily away from all our characteristic,
historical and traditional mornings.
After discussing the nature of trusts
and showing their evils, he says:
'sBut in any case, whether trusts are
or are not mere economic growth, the
evils and dangers that come with them
are obvious In either case and under
either view the republican party is their
natural and actual ally. Its sordid
spirit, its sordid leadership, its sordid
methods, all that gives it present pow
er and vitality, make it the party of
trusts. Not one ray of hope, only the
thick darkness of despair, lies in that
direction"
Coming from man of political ex-
perience who voted for Mckinley, these
expressions have especial weight.
But, after showing the venality of the
republican party, the former governor
turns his attention to the question
whether the democratic party is more
dangerous than the republican. Apro-
pos of this, he says:
''To me the answer is easy. The DEM
ocratic party is the party which can
alone be looked to for any real opposi-
ton to imperialism or to trusts; and by
opposition to trusts mean their pre-
vention, if need be, or in any case their
proper regulation. Mr.. Bryan consid-
er better than his party. No one CUES
tons his personal character; no one
would think of ranking him below Nc
Kinley in ability, and I should rank him
many degrees above. His political in
tegrity. his fidelity to the principles he
avows, think is as we'll assured as that
of any politician now in sight. deem
it, therefore, fortunate that Mr.. Bryan
is to-day the undisputed leader of his
party"
Thus it is that the mistakes made by
well-meaning men in 1896 are being cor
rected in 1900. The republicans have
failed to give the country good govern
ment, they have proved menace to the
rights and liberties of the people aid
they will be retired from public posi-
tons by the results of the fall elections.

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
victory for Charles Curtis.


The result of the republican pri-
mary elections in Atchison, Brown
and Jackson counties ends the con-
test between Charles Curtis and w.
]. Bailey for congress in the First dis
trict. The convention will be held at
Atchison March 20. Curtis viii be re-
nominated on the first ballot, if not
by default. With these three counties
and Shawnee, his own county, for
him, Curtis will have SIS votes in the
convention, or a majority of -.
Leavenworth county will send an I'M
instructed delegation to the con-
gressional convention. This was de-
cided upon by the friends of Con-
gresham Bailey and the managers of
Congressman Curtis in a conference,
and was the result of the victory of
Mr.. Curtis in the Jackson, Brown and
Atchison primaries
The victory carries with it not
only success for Charles Curtis, but the
selection of two anti-Leland men to
represent the district in the national
republican convention. This was
one of the issues of the contest.
Really it was the overshadowing ques-
ton, and Bailey was almost lost sight
of. Cyrus Leland was sponsor for
Bailey, and so the opportunity was
seized to make an "anti-boss" fight.
Old scores against Leland were dug
up all over the district.

One place at last has been discovered
where the hand organ grinder is ap-

State, and the missionaries have
turned it to excellent account. When
they first went there they found the
natives had decided antipathy to
the marital yoke, but they overcame
it by announcing that at every we'd
ding hand organ should play. The
innovation was accepted and the rush
TO the hymeneal altar was tremen-
dous. So infatuated were some couples
with the music that they insisted
upon being married daily.

that he has seen it rise 40 feet in a

HANNA'S DANGER.
An Ohfean,s Plain Talk to the Pres
fdent Sounds Somewhat
Significant.

There are evidences in plenty that
Hon. Harry Daugherty, of Ohio, made
a very plain talk to Mr.. Mckinley at
the white house the other day, and
that he succeeded in frightening the
president into supporting him in his
race for delegate-at-large to the Phil
adelphia convention. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Senator Hanna. with
loud acclaim, declared recently that he
would not make contest for delegate
at-large. because of his desire to pre-
serve harmony in the organization by
permitting both Grosvenor and Dick
to attend the convention as two of
Ohio's big four, it is now said that the
willy Mark has changed his mind and
determined to enter the race: AT least,
this, it is said was his determination
until Mr.. Daugherty came to Washing
ton and got the ear of the amiable and
peace-loving Mr. Mckinley. 1t is re-
ported that following closely upon the
visit of Daugherty to the white house.
Hanna was sent for and told by the
president that in the interest OF har-
mony he must stand aside for Daugh-
erty in order that the anti-Hanna fac
ton may have proper representation
at Philadelphia. 1t is believed that the
stand of the president will put Senator
Hanna's loyalty to the most severe
test to which it has yet been subjected,
and it is stated that Hanna has calmly
informed the president that he will
consent to withdraw from the contest
only on condition that Senator Fora
ker also be not allowed to go to Phila
delphia as delegate-at-large.- Wash

The iliteracy of Russia exceeds that
of any other country claiming to have
a civilized government. The Humani-
tartan states that in 10000 villages of
the vast empire there is not school
and it is estimated that not 20 per
cent. of the population of the empire
has acquired even the rudiments of a
common school education. 1t has
been figured out that if the car
would disband 10000 men of the vast
army he would thereby save money
enOught to provide q school for each
@f these villages. It is no wonder the
