Jackson Speaks His Piece.

JUDGE JACKSON, congressional
y candidate of the cohorts of re-
form, spoke in Jones' grove in Cha
mute, Saturday night, to good audi
ence.
His speech was simply weak bid
for votes. Jackson is not a states
man or even mediocre politician.
He might be able to make better
speech if he had more right and JUS
tice on his side.
1t seems quite amusing to hear a
Democratic speaker lauding the old
soldiers and telling what he and his
party would do for them. The rec
ord of the Democratic party is made
on the soldier question and cannot
now be changed. Mr.. Jackson's
promises to and great pretense of
veneration for the men whom, a few
years ago, the dominent element of
his party was shooting down, have
very much the ring of the dema-
gogue, and are SO considered by the
old soldiers. The Judge would have
saved votes by giving this question
wide berth. He will not be elect
ed to congress this fall.
Another appropriate feature of
the bifurcated amalgamation was
real pathetic song by the glee
club, in which their vice. presiden-
tial candidate was referred to as
"the grand old veteran Adlai. !"
Now this surely tickled the ex- Union
soldiers most to death, and didn't
lose "the grand old veteran Adlai"
more than a couple of dozen votes.
Looking at the speech up one side
and down the other, it was the most
doleful and heartrending presenta-
tion Of calamitous claptrap that a
Chanute audience ever listened TO.
Many who had heard the dismal
wailing of the whangdoodle fancied
they could detect a strong resem-
blance thereto in this instance. The
Judges woe-begone words came
laundering forth as from the cav
ernous depths of a coal mine, spread
ing an inky pail over everything
within earshot. Even the black
birds in the trees above took fright
and disappeared after the first few
painful lamentations struck them.
The fusion candidate is just the
man to officiate at funeral occa-
sions such as Saturday nights. His
continuous jargon of sadness, mis-
sery and woe was certainly all that
the solemn cohorts could have ex-

in Chanute in the last ten years and
the Republicans have always treat
ed them respectfully. No one
thought of Webster Davis coming
to Chanute on the day Gov. Roose-
welt had been assigned a meeting
here until the morning after some OF
our faithful returned from the Bry-
an meeting at Pittsburg-then for
the first time it was announced that
Davis was coming on the a9th.
The same issue of the Kansas City
Times that reported the Bryan
meeting at Pittsburg gave notice
that Bill Sapp, of Galena had return
ed from St. Louis and had prevail
ed on Mr.. Davis to give five days
to Kansas. Davis was not then as
signed to any point, but Sapp was
at Pittsburg and so were the oppo-
sition leaders from this city and
thereby hangs a tale. You can ex-
plain away this underhanded deal
from now until election but the fact
remains the same, that it was done
premediatedly.

Mrs. Lease Repents.

We frequently hear it said on the
streets that all this talk about par
ties coming over to Mckinley is
bosh.
There are hosts of such promi-
nent Kansans as Senator PETER,
Judge NJ. B. Nicholson, w. H. Ros-
sington, c. f. Benton, Charley
Drake, w. A. Choquill, Ex-senator
H. B. Kelly, J. M. Dunsmore and
many others working for our ticket,
and now Mrs. Lease is to take the
stump in Kansas and Nebraska for
the Republican ticket.
She said in an interview in Chi
cago on the 24th instant:
"Bryan was once my ideal, but he
now appears to me only as an ordinary
man with an abnormdlly developed
presidential bee in his bonnet. am
with the Republican party now, pri-
marty for the reason that, as l take
it, the issue has resolved itself into
the old issue Of copperheadism versus
Republlcanism, and as the daughter
of an old Union soldier, l feel that
my place is with the Republican par
ty. The Democratic party is still an
chored to the obsolete and worm eat
en- doctrine Of states rights. 1t is a
party OF negation and obstruction
purely, with no issue except that of
retrogressiou and opposition to Re-
publicanism.
II hear Adlai Stevenson spoken OF
as real nice old gentleman, and
presume he is, but 1 remember him
as one OF those who were firing at the
ranks OF the soldiers OF '6l-'65 from
the Knights Of the Golden Circle"

"We will puts an end to the doub-
lie header, if you will elect us" said
Bonnie Shinn in his bid for railroad
votes at Jones' grove last Saturday
night. Yes, eve" come very near

1891 to 1897, for in that time one
hundred and seventy-seven railroads
with a mileage of As, 900 miles, OF
twice the circle of the globe, and
with securities amounting to nearly
three billions of dollars, were I'M
able to meet their current liabilities
and passed into the hands of receiv-
ers, and employees suffered in cor

The Hon. Tom Cooper, Fusion
candidate for State Senator, was in
the city on Monday. He does not
talk as if he had the world at his
command, and by election time will,
perhaps, be heard singing, "Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" Tom is COM
paratively new convert to Popu-
lism. Four years ago he was the
Republican Clerk of the District
Court of Wilson county but being
defeated that year for nomination
for representative by S. S. Benedict,
suddenly Topped and was astonished
to think that he had been holding a
fat Office for four years under such
wicked party as the Republican.
He, however, held on to his Repub-
lican Office until his term expired,
which did not prevent him from ad.
vocating Populisn, even when hold
ing down an Office to which he was
elected by Republicans. We are Of
the opinion that Tom is too fresh in
one party and not long enough Out
of another to have much of claim
on any party for support this fall.

One of our Demo-Pop friends re-
marked the other day that Roose'
velt's picture on the banner stretch
ed across the street from Republi-
can headquarters gave the Rough
Rider the appearance of Esau, the
snake eater who visited Chanute
a short time ago. After thinking
over the matter we have concluded
that our Demo-Pop friend is RICH,
to certain extent. Teddy makes
specially of copperheads.

So it is with this great nation. With

of Congress from the Big Seventh
district, the man who pried Jerry
Simpson out of politics, will address
the crowds of people at Floral hall

Long has brilliant career in Con-

representative has few equals. AS
an orator he is second to none in

Scott at Erie.

7 Asst Saturday afternoon the
- Hon. C. F. Scott, candidate fol
congressman at-large on the Re-
publican ticket, spoke in the park
at Erie to a good audience of at
tentive listeners.
Mr.. Scott made a magnificent
and eloquent address of nearly two
hours duration.
He presented in most pleasing
manner the claims of the Republi.
can party to recognition and con-
tinuance in power. He argued that
the trust question could not be an
issue in this campaign since all par
ties had placed antitrust planks in
their platforms. To the cry of the
Democrats that the Republicans are
not sincere he cited the fact that
the only national antitrust legisla-
ton we have ever had was placed
on the statute books by Republi-
can congress and showed how the
Republicans tried to pass resolu
ton for an amendment to the con-
stitution to better control the trusts
and that the measure was defeated
by Democratic and Populist votes.
The record of the Democratic par
ty on the trust question seems to be
made up of unfulflled promises and
of slurs and false charges against
the Republicans.
Mr.. SCOTS speech was couched
in the cleanest and purest English.
Perfectly void of slang and coarse
expressions, it contained not word
of abuse for any one but was a clear
systematic arrangement of historical
facts and logical deductions.
Scott is a sure winner and such
men add strength to the whole tick

ence means revolution is increasing. There
is great force in what Mr.. Beverage
says about the folly of forcing stable gov
eminent upon the Philippines and leaving
it TO be overthrcwn. 1t seems that the
Senator's treatment of militarism is one
of the most effective parts of the speech.
The nations which have the largest stand
ing armies have fewest colonies, and keep
but Insignificant bodies of troops in them.
Equally effective is the treatment of the
fears of the anti-imperialists that the hold
ing Of the Philippines will jeopardize the
condition of labor in the United States
through free competition. Only the DEM
ocratic contention makes free trade with
the Philippines possible. Toward the last
of the speech Senator Beverage. with tell
ing effect. without the use of harsh words
fixes the responsibility of the present guer-
rilla warfare where it belongs. The en-
tire treatment of the subject is instructive.
since the Senator has put into it the re-
suits of his historical research-the expert
ence of the world. While the speech is an
argument to support his convictions. it is

of government.

1t is absurd for Mr.. Bryan TO say that
Congress has the power to enact ''such
additional legislation as may be necessary
business outside of the State of it's
origin. IL is a matter for the State
and for the State alone. If Indiana does
not wish a private monopoly chartered
business within its borders it has the
power to forbid such a monopoly to enter.
just as it now forbids certain insurance
companies doing business in this State.
All the States exclude foreign corporations
or admit them under such regulations as
their Legislatures may enact. The laws
now require foreign corporations to. observe
laws framed for the regulation of domes-
tic corporations. Indiana's law requiring
that all domestic corporations shall sell
their products to all dealers who tender
payment would apply to the American
Sugar Refining Companys agent If located
here to manage a business in violation of
that law
But. while Indiana can say that no for
eign corporation shall do business in this
State unless 1t complies with its laws, it
cannot prevent a citizen of Indiana from
purchasing goods of a foreign corporation
which is a monopoly in another State.
That is, the State can bar out a corpora
ton or its agent. but it cannot bar out its
goods when purchased by citizen of cor
poration in another State. because that is
a question of interstate commerce. Con-
gress cannot say to the citizen of one State
that he shall not purchase an article pro-
duced by a monopoly in another State.
Therefore, without an amendment to the
Constitution giving Congress wider powers,
that body cannot prevent the shipment to
city of one State of the goods bought by
him in another State from monopoly. Mr..
Bryan says that such an amendment is not
necessary. and applauds the Democratic
representatives in the House who defeated
proposition to so amend the Constitu-
tfOp
