WE usually never beef after an cleo
ton, but this time We think a kick is
coming to us. Both the Cresset and the
Journal made the charge that we charg.
ed the county $3.50. so for printing the
official ballots, and that the Cresset
charged only $6S Is for the same work.
We will make this proposition to both
the Cresset and the Journal: If they
will prove that the Cresset printed the
same ballot we did, we will donate $40
to any charity they may designate. If
they don't do it, they are to donate $40
each where we may select. It is to be
supposed that the republican papers
made their charge in good faith. and
we want to give them chance to prove
1t to the people. We are perfectly will.
ling to select Mr.. Geo. Nay OF this city
judge and his decision to be fiual. AS a
matter OF fact we never charged the
county $490.50 for printing the official
ballots and when the Journal editor
published that we did, he was simply
misleading his readers and the public.
II he can take the records and prove
that we did we will donate him $50 and
expect nothing IN return. The ballot
printed by us was four times as large
as the ballot printed by the Cresset and
both the republican editors knew 1t,
but were not looking for facts at the
time they published their misleading
charge Review.

a SMALL TRICK.

The postal authorities ct Washing
ton last week suspended the Farmers
Advocate from the second class mai
and the publishers are now compelled
to pay one cent postage on every paper
sent out. The excuse given is that the
Advocate sent papers to parties who
were not actual subscribers. That, OF
course. is merely an excuse. The fact
is that the Advocate is a strong anti
republican paper and Is doing a great
work in exposing republican fallacies
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and there are
a great many who would like to have it
suppressed.
This is very small trick and it will
eventually result In injury to the par
ties who are responsible for it. Every
citizen who loves freedom and justice
should rally to the Advocates support.
Send in your dollar and get your name
OIL it's subscription books. Address,
The Farmers Advocate, Topeka, Kas.
Let US put our seal Of disapproval on
such methods.

THE BALLoTtAw.

not be defrauded of their rights. The
present ballot law is probably the most

The New ballot law ia

The New ballot law is an
outrage on the people of Kan
sas. From all over the
state come words of con.
demnation. Men of all par.
ties are open in rebuking it.
Where the law was followed
strictly, over 25 per cent of
the votes were thrown out.
Here in Barber county where
the election officers paid NO
attention to technicalities
about 100 votes were lost &C.
cording to the best informa
ton at hand. The legislature
has been tampering with the
law so long that it requires
a weeks study for the ordi
nary man to cast a legal bal.
lot. 1t is the boldest attempt
at DISTINGUISHING the honest
voters in the states history
and if we do not mistake the
temper of the people, the
authors of this scheme will
learn to their sorrow that
puolic sentiment is loaded.

FOREIGN MISSION WORK.


HARTFORD, Conn.,, Oct. 10.-The report
of the committee on missions prepared by
the Rev. DIR. James J.. Barton, foreign sec
rotary, was a feature of the forenoon SEES
sion of the American board of commits
sioners for foreign missions. 1t was pre-
sented by the chairman. the Rev. DIR. C. H.
Patten, of st. Louis. The report, in con-
%clusion, said: Summing up the entire
field. covering one-half of the American
board work, we would say that ii has been
a typical missionary year, not without dis
o-uragemen in some fields and sharp diff
hculties in others, but a steady pushing for
ward, while at least two fields show a
marked advance"
Officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Samuel K. Capen, Ii. D.; vice pres
ident. Henry, Hopkins: corresponding sec
retaries. Judson Smith. l. D, Charles IL
Daniels, ID. D., James l.. Barton, ID. D.;
treasurer, Frank II. Virgins: editorial sec
rotary. Elnathan L. Strong. d. D.: record
ing secretary, Henry a. StimsOn, d. D.;
assistant recording secretary. Edward n.
Packard, ID. D.; auditors, Edwin H. Baker,
Hon, Henry e. Cobb and Hon. William b.
Plunkett.
The annual address of President S. b.
Capen, LII. D., was delivered in the even
ing. 1t was a financial statement and an
appeal for a million dollars annually for
foreign missions. At the close of the ad-
Brooklyn, began an effort to raise $l02, 600
TO wipe out the debt of the board. After
$1,000 or 5000 had been subscribed, it was
asked if an unconditional gift of $4,000 re-
Gently received by the board could not be
applied to the debt. Col. Hopkins said that
the prudential committee would so apply
it. The thousands then came in very fast
and $25 200 was pledged in one lump, pro-
vided that the full amount be pledged. At
ii o'clock President Capen announced that
every dollar of the debt has been wiped
out. This was greeted with the singing Of
the Doxology. The final $1,000 was pledged
by Ex-Governor Bulkely. in behalf of the
South Church of this city.
