The Populists' Problem.

The following from the Topeka Ad-
vocate, the official paper Of the Popu-
lists, is OF interest as showing the
complications that face that party for
its next campaign;
"Much has been written and said
concerning the action Of the anti-Re-
publican forces In this state and the
problem is not yet solved. Out Of
the discussion that has taken the sit
uation has resolved into five PROPOSE
tions from which one will eventually
be selected unless some one furnishes
something more practicable:
"First-A union Of all the reform
forces for state purposes under some
name to be selected.
"Second-A fusion Of Populists
and Democrats by dividing the ticket
as suggested by Senator Harris.
"Third-Populists not to put up q
ticket but allow the Democrats to
name the ticket and make the plat
form and the POpulists to vote the
ticket named by the Democrats as
suggested BY State Senator Young.
Fourth Go ss a body into the
Democratic party and run 1t as sug'
gested by ex. Chairman Taylor Riddle
"Fiith-Put up a Populist ticket
and let the Democrats vote 1t or put
up a ticket Of their own and have
three-cornered fight.
ION the above propositions th'
people are divided. From the mos
reliable information we can obtair
through the secretary Of the stat'
central committee and the CORES
pondence OF this office more thar
ninety per can't Of the POpulist'
would accept the first proposition
None have written to this office IS II
favor Of the second proposition, ant
Senator Harris now expresses doub
as to its advisability. In all our cor
respondence and best information t
be obtained none are in favor OF tn
third except Democrats, though it !
enthusiastically advocated BY Mr.
Young in his paper. We have hear
Of few who want to accept Mr.. Kid
dies proposition. More than ninety
five per cent Of the Populists are for
straight ticket unless the first prop
osition is adopted or something bette
suggested"

bought all be could handle, and some
times with the aid Of the banks or Of
the commission houses, took more
than be should have done, hoping for
the profit in the increase to pay out.
hence when the corn crop turned out
short, and it is very short throughout
the state, the condition became serious
for many. They faced the problem
OF feed to carry over the stock
after they came in from pasture.
The methods have been various but
NOT all equally successful. When THE
corn ceased growing in July many
farmers turned over the wheat stub
Bile and put it in to Kafir corn and
cane. They counted on this for fall
forage and for a time 1t seemed that
they could not fail. There were rains
in the early days Of August but then
came another dry spell that lasted
until the end OF the month. 1t was
not so bot as the first but 1t was at.
tended by chiuch bugs and the newly
sprouted green plants soon became
shriveled and there Is practically
nothing worth counting on in that
experiment.
Others set out to save all the fodder
and roughness Of every kind that
could DO gathered and these are the
winners. Never has the ground
been cleaned SO closely as now. On
every hand the corn binders and
wheat binders have been running
clearing off the corn fields. Last
week $50 wheat binders were running
in Butler county cutting corn. Th'
straw that is usually burned is al
saved, great stacks Of 1t ready fol
feeding The farmers have savet
every thing that nature provided ant
will carry stock through the winte
with the best possible attention.

Down With Anarchy.

The great lesson to this nation ID
the wanton and diabollcsl act Of the
assassin who sought the life OF
President Mckinley is to restrain
anarchy. The villainy Of a class Of
people who can coolly plan to take the
life OF the nations ruler cannot be
palliated by any stretch OF the mamie
OF charity and liberality.
No chief executive ever lived who
deserved better Of his people than
William Mckinley. A courteous
brave. leyel.headed Christian gentle
men, striving earnestly to build up
the nations welfare and succeeding
beyond the most extravagant promises
an / hopes OF bis friends, he has in all
ways earned the respect and friend
ship Of every citizen Of this great re-
public.
That any faction, class, or body OF
men should seek his life is not alone
a crime against his personality but is
. menace to good government
Anarchy and its attendant diabolism
should bs wiped out at any cost. II
1t needs q few frst.class funerals
among the leaders who inspire and
ioment the spirit Of destruction the
quicker they are held the better.

Il Il Up to Church.

Supt. Church has given out an lex
PLANTATION" Of the workings Of bis in.
surance department that is the lsmest
excuse ever offered by public official
10 Kansas. He says he is having q
good time down east and has been
obeying the law. The law provides
for examination Of companies when
the department thinks the companies
unsound. Church does not tell this.
He has examined companies with
millions Of dollars assets and which
neither he nor anyone else thought
unsound. Instead Of telling how one
Of his men would be able to report on
several millions Of securities, and do
In two days what it takes a dozen ex'
perts a month or more to do, he says
=
be has done just what she law de-
mands that he shall do, and that be
will not be "scared by the mutter-
ings Of fault finders or the appearance
Of threatening headlines. Comment
ing upon this, the Capital says
This reply Of the superintendent OF
insurance does not meet the issue and
makes no explanation OF certain
specific cases where examinations
have been made in an evidently hasty
manner and without cause shown
why the superintendent should have
ordered the examinations to be made
In other words, these instances have
every appearance of being no more or
less than McNallism revived under a
Republican superintendent. II he
can explain satisfactorily the sppar-
emily frivolous examinations OF repu'
table companies, every Republican
will be more than ready to give him
full Justice. The charges are much
more serious than Mr.. Church appears
to realize. 1t is important that Mr.
Church should come home and meet,
II he Is able to do so, the grave
charges made against his conduct Of
the department"
The Lawrence Journal says: "Mr
Church Is evidently blisstully uncon
scious Of the size Of the row that hi
has raised in Kansas. He ought tt
come home and bring an explanation
or stay where he is and send hi
resignation"
Kansas Republicans want no Nc
Nallism. 1t is up to Church to eA
, plain the workings Of his office salts
, iactorily to the public or get out
and be quick about 1t.

Where rosemary was strewn and rue.

Who knocked ard would not be denied
And threw the rusted easements wide
And entered with the wind and sun. D.,

was not donkey's bray. Then the
donkey, which was supposed to be jog,

twice loudly. 1t was too much, and
