The republican committee reorgan-
lied this week, clecting Albaugh
chairman and Raney secretary. No
effort was made to reorganize the
state ticket and get rid of Kelly, the
alleged defaulter, and some of the
republican papers are asking what
there is about the affairs of the state
treasury that makes it so necessary
that Kelly should be retained on the
ticket when it is so certain that to
keep him there will cost their state
ticket thousands of votes. The ex-
planation is perhaps simple, if the
truth of the matter lies in a story that
is going the rounds to the effect that
large part of the funds for the Bur-
ton crowd are procured by farming
out the state money in the hands of
Grimes and Kelly. IF this story is
true we can readily see that these
people would rather take chances on
losing the state ticket than on losing
control of the state money which
means the sinews of war.

as the men charge the packing house

charge union men and storing pro-
visions at convenient points SO that
in the event of trouble they will not
be Inconvenience as before The
president is reported as urging con-
gress to pass compulsory arbitration
laws. 1t will take laws that effect
conditions rather than arbitration to
settle these matters. When the wage
Garner finds that the cost of his living
has gone up % per cent. and his wage
earnings are no greater than before
prosperity struck his employer, COM
pulsory arbitration of his grievance
looks to him a farce, as he knows that
the making of the law is controlled by
the employing class. He feels that he
is between the upper and lower mill
stones.

The republican papers state that the
allied populist party will hold con-
vention in Topeka the twenty-sixth Of
this month. This is probably another
she'll game put on the market by Mort
Albaugh Il Co. 1t must be that the
managers of the republican party are
not so confident as they seem over the
election in this state. AS apostles OF
morality they would better clean
house at home before offering their
services free to the populists and
democrats.

Echoes of Imperialism are sounding
in the air. 1t seems that to perform a.
plain duty comes high under an inn
perialistic dynasty. General Wood.
who is credited in the republican
papers with having discharged a diff
cult task with great tact and address.
is charged with having used the pub
lie funds at his disposal to advance
the doctrine of reciprocity in the
United States, a plain duty to which
the president of the United States had
pledged his party. One of Wood s
defenders says the charge is absurd
on account of the few thousands of
dollars. Wood is said 10 have used in
this manner, gravely urging that the
amount was too small for the purpose.
The authority neglectss to inform us
as to just what is the correct amount
to take to Washington to. secure
legislation.

An Artistic Booklet.

Mr.. Black. of the Santa Fe, has
gotten out very artistic booklet
called ''A Colorado Summer. lr
contains many attractive half-tone
cuts of the beautiful Colorado resorts
which make one cool to look at. OF
all the places shown in the book the
views around Green Mountain Falls
are the most attractive. All the places
are moderate in price. Other roads
may do more gandy advertising but
every bit of Santa Fe advertising
which comes from Mr.. Blacks depart
ment bears the stamp of the artist and

1t is now claimed that some $40, 900
were paid to General Gomez of Cuba
during a period of nine months and
that he was furnished with a residence
and other necessaries, all from the
public funds in charge Of Secretary
Root, during the settlement of the
affairs of the island. 1t is stated that
this money was paid without author
ity of law and the inquiry comes
naturally as to what the service was
that Gomez performed that was con-
sidered so valuable by the govern
ment. The whole matter may be all
right but prior to the time when this
government assumed imperialistic
garments no such action could have
been taken without authority of law.

The So-Caiied "Populist'' Party.

The SO-Cailed "POpulist" Party.
From the Kansas Populist.
The more the new 'santi- fusi on"
election law is discussed, the more
iniquities are brought to light. 1t
will be remembered that few months
ago. a lot of soreheads and former
middle -of-the-roaders met at Louis
vile and claimed to organize new
party under the name of 'Populist.
Now, ] learn from the Sumner county
correspondent Of the Topeka Capital,
the republicans are going to claim
that this handful of men succeeded in
organizing "national party, "though
it has no organization in any state of
the union. 1t will answer the purpose
of the Kansas republicans, however;
and under the Infamous election law
they will proceed to put ''Populist"
tickets in the field, wherever the peo-
ple's party decides to unite with the
democrats. They will do this for the
preventing them from honestly ex-
pressing their will. 1t is my opinion
that the reform voters of Kansas are
too old to be caught with such chaff,
and that the attempt of the republi-
cans to play on names will result in a
determination to nominate the portion
of the state ticket left blank by the
democrats, and then put the whole
.1l~ ho
That done, we can vote in the circle
for our straight ticket and leave all
the stool pigeon "Peoples" and
"Populist" tickets the republicans
are disposed to get up severely alone.
There is no other sensible or reason
able course left for populists who
do not want to play into the han OF
the republicans to pursue. The dem
ocrats have nominated candidate
entirely satisfactory 30 the pOpulists,
for a portion of the ticket, and left
the rest of the places for us to fill.
They have promulgated a platform
containing the essential populist de-
mands. 1t only remains for US to
complete the work, like sensible men,
and place our candidates under the
same head, to give the republican
fixers great surprise party next
November. They tried a stool pigeon
middle of-the road-populist ticket
in 1896, and made a miserable failure
of it. If we will now unite with the
democrats for this campaign, and
vote our ticket under their party
