THE man who assaulted President
Mckinley can only be sent 10 the pen
for 10 yean for assault with intent
~ kin. He cannot be charged with
treason. In time Of war the Presi-
dent being commandes4nehief Of the
army, an attack upon his person
would be the work Of a traitor. The
aceomplices Of Booth were charged
with that crime and executed under
military authority. In time q peace

He is IA story that sounds ikea lie,
but it is true. and John Perry vouches
for it. As the section hands were
passing an alfalfa field on the old Ed
Randall farm they heard "A COW bawl
near by, but no cow was in sight. The
noise seemed to come from under the
ground. They began a search and
soon found the COW in crack in tile
ground. She was so near starved that
she had to be hauled home on a sled.
This may seem like a big story to peo-
pie who have never seen the puZzling
holes that come in alfalfa fields, but
will not seem like an exaggeratIon to
those who have had experience with
them. Farmers are pretty generally
of the opinion that Mr.. Berry's under
wash theory is not satisfactory. The
holes come on perfectly level ground
where there has been no wash of any
kind, and whenever the alfalfa is
plowed up the holes level up again
and stay level. We think the deep
alfalfa roots are in some way the cause
of the phenomenon.-Jewe Republic

He holds that the Bible may be read
without note or comment. He says
that he knows of no law, which per-
mits the county examining board to
creurt boards from the State Normal
school or any other school. In regard
to certificates, the superintendent
holds that there is no legal limit TO
the number of third grades which
may be be issued TO an applicant; that
first grade certificates may be endors-
ed in any number Of counties upon
the payment of the required fee. and
that such endorsements do not inval-
idate the certificate in the county in
which it was issued.

w P. Harrington, editor of the
Cove County Advocate, and bright
newspaper man, sees the handwriting
swallowed up by Democracy. and offers
his paper for sale. He says:
The Advocate is for fale to anyone
who will take it and run it as a Dem
ocratic paper. This l cannot do my
self with very good grace and / am
ready to quit and leave the field to
some one else.
/ take this action because / can see
no future for Populist newspaper
During trip to the Eastern part of
the state had an opportunity to size
up the situation. All over the state
the Populists are abandoning their
organization and going into the Dem
ocratic party. Next year the state
ticket will be made up of former Pop
ulists or men acceptable to Popuists
but it will bear the Democratic name.
There will be no Populist State ticket
or if one is nominated it will be a
boilers ticket and will cut no figure
in the election. A Popuiist paper
would be left without a following or
influence; l do not feel capable of
running any kind of a paper but a
:Populist and the only thing for me to
do is to omit when my party quits.
1t is to be hoped that the abScrp
tlon of our party by the Democratic
organization will result only in, good
to the cause. From the time that the
Democratic party threw Grover Cleve-
land overheard, nominated William
j. Bryan for president and put certain
of our demands in its platform it has
been a foregone conclusion that the
mission of the peoples party was end
ed and that it's spirit was gone to re-
animate the Democratic party. Popu-
lists now have no right to turn back
If they still stand where they stood
in 1896 and 1900 they will not be out
of place in the Democratic party: if,
as is the case with many of them,
they are no longer satisfied with the
conservative declarations of past cam
paigns their place is in some more
radical organization like the Socialist
party.

An ex-populist writes as follows for
the Beatrice, Neb-, Times, Captain
w. S. Tilton's excellent paper, 1t
looks to us like very clear statement
of the case. / should like to have
every PopuliSt in the state read what
1 have to say as far as go. In the
first place. the greater proportion of
the membership of the Populist party
left the Republican organization in
the hope of securing legislation to in
crease the volume OF the currency.
Fifty dollars per capita of the popula-
ton was our war crv. l can see now,
as l could not ten years ago, that if
we had got what we wanted, period
of hysterical imitation would have
been followed by years of depression
that would have. placed pauperism at
a premium, for the reason that the
great body of the people would lnev-
Itably have been thrown into that
class. This, 1 have learned since then,
is, in all cases, the history of fiat cur
rency legislation carried to extremes.
But as it is now, our currency circula-
tion has Increased from some eighteen
dollars per capita ia 1880 to owe thirty
dollars. This is on the basis of every
dollar being of precisely the same
value as every other dollar, and means
a vastly larger purchasing power than
our fifty dollars per capita would have
meant il we had got IT, Inasmuch as
the most of us who left the Republi-
can party did SO in order to secure an
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1901-11-16

Congress in the Sixth district next

and had quite an extended talk re-
garding the situation. Each suggested
10 the other that it would be the nice
and generous thing for him to get out
of the race, out remarkable reluct-
ance was exhibited by both concern
ing such action. Congressman Reeder
assured Mr.. Wellington that he would
be renOminated and that it was Il
waste of time and good money IT, try
to beat him. Mr.. Wellington return
ed the compliment by telling Con-
gresham Reeder that he was very
well satisfied with his campaign thus
far and advised the latter to hunt "a

menced.
