earnest protests of the people.
Mr.. Craddock's methods of dealing
with the corporations OF Kansas City,
Kan, is an illustration of his states
manship. He had promised the peo-
pie that he would see that their as
sessment was raised. He did this,
but first made an agreement with
them that the levy should be reduced
so that they would have no more
taxes to pay than they had before.
He then refused to make any levy to
meet judgments and for sinking-fund,
and thus kept his agreement with the
corporations, and, at the same time,
thought he had fooled the people.
1t is noticeable that one of Mr..
Craddock's first acts, after becoming
mayor of Kansas CITY, Kan, was to
have his own salary as mavor increas-
ed from 81 900 to 81, 900 per year. AS
mayor, he has increased expenses, in

creased nothing, except the estima-
tion in which his promises are held by

was baSed.-Capital.

The Anti-FuSiOn Law.

The Democrats in asking the Pop
olists to JOIN them in making their
state ticket, assured the latter that
the anti-fusion law would be declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court
and promised the Populists that
both tickets would be submitted to
the secretary of state and in case he
refused to recognize both Of them las
he would have to do) they would inn
medIately bring suit in the supreme
court to test its validity. This in face
of the fact that the majority of their
leading lawyers declared that the law
however. used this to bring the Popu-
lists into line. Now that this has
been done and no suit has yet been
brought they are attempting to holu
the Populists in line by saying that
it would be useless to bring it up now
as the majority of the members of the
supreme court are Republicans, and
would therefore uphold it. Let it
alone until after the campaign and
thus use it for campaign issue. And
the Pops can't prevent it. The party
has been delivered bodily into the
Democratic camp
As far as the anti-fusion law is con-
cerned the Democrats were as active
in passing it as Republicans. They
realized that it would be decided
gain to their party and that by it
they could control the Populists. No
legal proceedings will be instituted
but as long as there is a remnant of
the Populist party who stand up for
their principles, there will be a lot of
Democrats who will offer consolation
to them by abusing the law and inyit-
ing them into the Democratic camp.
The trouble is the Democrats can't
deliver the goods and the Populists
are beginning to find it out.-Great
Bend Register.
