ure coming from the counties of
Finney, Hamilton and Kearney,
the sugar beet counties, where
the question is not fully under
stood.
Really, now, why should the
republicans of those counties,
the sugar beet raisers, not fully
understand the Cuban reciprocity
idea?-A Are they not naturally
the men in Kansas most deeply
concerned about the fate of beet
sugar? And would they not
naturally look into the matter
more deeply than anybody else.
Really, Bro. Clark, the men from
those counties were the only
ones who fully understand that
the beet sugarindustry-theo only
sugar industry that interests
Kansans, would be wiped out by
the larger sugar trust should
Chester l. Longs desires prevail.
Don't get off anything more as
silly as that comment, brother;
or else Bro. Townsley will be
further warranted in his claim
that you are no true friend of
Chester I. Long.

WHAT is republican politics
in Kansas today but scramble
for place and power? A race for
big money. A contest for spoils.
A republican state convention,
attended by three thousand men
who went to Wichita on free rail
road passes, said not word in
it's platform about state issues;
most Of it's time was taken up in
a fight between rival candidates
for United States senator to get
CONTROL; most of the republican
papers OF today are devoting
their editorial space exclusively
to this same fight-the scramble
of Stanley, and Curtis, and Long,
and Bailey-the fight for a place
in that aristocratic branch of
our national government where
men can become multimillionair' s
in a few years of service ''for the
dear people, (?).

THEY WILL NOT ANSWER.

DdDD, WHO WdS Uu0 IodueI VI
those in the state convention
who favored a split ticket and
who is now chairman of the pop
ulist state central committee !,
has the following to say in his
paper-the Wichita Commoner:
1--WE have carefully scanned
The columns of the Populist press
of the state since the Topeka
convention and we think we have
taken the public pulse upon the
question of that convention s
work We fail to find a single
bolter and fully believe that the
rank and file when they under
stand the situation will rally as
in days of old to the support of
the excellent ticket and platform
placed before the people of
Kansas by the convention.
. ssThe Republican program has
been in progress of being carried
out for several years. Each act
in the political drama is appar-
ent and we shall proceed to out
line 1t in the near future. The
outline will be supported by facts
sufficient to conyince the most
skeptical that there is method
in the scheme of the Republican
party to disfranchise the Popu-
lists and destroy their organiza-
tion. The anti fusion law will
doubtless prove to be the costliest
piece of scullduggery ever indulg
ed Indy politicians seeking for
prolonged office holding.
''The Populists have been indie
pendent enough to break away
from old party moorings. They
will doubtless be independent
enough to resent in unmistakable
terms at the polls the deliberate
effort of the Burtons and Lelands
of the Republican machine to
disfranchise them.
'sThe machinery of the Popu-
lists is stronger today in the
state than it was two years ago
and the maintenance of the
party is unquestioned, though a
Republican legislature and judici-
arys should nullify it's action as
a convention and require it to
cast it's vote in common with
it's party ally.
ga great question and a great
crisis has arisen in this state
which must be met and settled.
Shall men be allowed to cast
their ballot free and unshackled
by partisan laws or shall they
submit to the tyranny of political
shysters who dare not stand
and fight in the open field OF
politics? Sometimes political
parties become so corrupt that
it is only by the tremendous
leverage of combined political
action that they can be lifted
from power. Fusio is a
weapon h a t is exceedingly
useful to people that is down
trodden by political bossism.
By it New York was rescued from
a rotten Tammany. BY it Phil.
adelphia sought to overthrow
her party rings.
'sWill Burton, Leland and the
entire brood of Republican
bosses of the state point to a
single reformatory statute en-
acted by the fusionists that has
not been ofbenefit to the people?
While they were attempting to
blot out fusion why did they not
repeal the laws enacted by the
fusion, legislatures? If the tree
vas evil why not destroy its
fruits? We defy them to
answer. /"

w. III. CRADDoCK stands for the

raigned against him in the cam
paign all the corporate interests
of the state-the railroads, the
insurance companies, the book
trust, the grain trust, the stock
yards companies-all those in
terests owned principally by
people outside of Kansas. And
why? For the simple reason
that Mr.. Craddock makes a spe-

Kansas people pay tribute shall

CANDIDATE BAILEY for COVER
nor in a recent talk, says the
man who votes independent of
party organization is a "bush-
whacker." That's rather strenu-
Gus talk coming from the nomi-
nee for the highest position in
the state. Anyone dissenting
from his political opinions, from
a Bailey standpoint, is an out
cast; men mustnot think or vote
according to their convictions;
in other words, the tail must
wag the dog. That gentleman,

Renten Inv a. NTnh.

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 14.-Orlando Schooley, who was taking crowd of newly recruited men to work at the Edgerton colliery in Jermyn, was set upon by mob of a hundred and beat en so badly with clubs and stones it is feared he will not live. When taken to the Emergency hospital at Carbondale, it was found that his back was broken. The crowd of recruits who were with Schooley were allowed to go unmolest- ed upon agreeing to take train out of town. They said they came from Nox- en, Wyoming county, and that they were to be given jobs as firemen at g a day. A company from the Thirteenth regiment camp at Olyphant arrived at the scene of the assault in short time after the mob had disappeared. Ac- cording to the claims of the operators, work has been resumed at four collier ies in this district-the Bellevue and Hyde Park of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western company in this city and the Johnson Nos. and ?

MILITIA IN LABOR CONFLICTS.


 Three recent incidents have brought out striking1y the weakness of the militia in labor troubles. A whole company of the New Orleans militia yesterdav laid down it's arms and re- fused to do riot duty because of sym pathv with the strikers At Shamokin the same day four Pennsylvania mill itiamen headed procession of strik- CTS, carrying a large American flag. Four members of one of the cOInpa- nies of the Second regiment, stationed at Scn.nectady, lave evadefi strike duty by hiding from the police More ever, the Schenectady Trades assembly has voted to recommend the expulsion from it's local unions of all of their members who belong to the National guard of this state. To the non-union observer this would seem to he plain confession that the Schenectady union is opposed to law and order, and be- lieves that strikes can be carried to successful conclusion only by rioting and terrorism The trouble with the National guard is the lack of proper discipline and of proper understand ing of their duties Nobody should enlist without realizing fully what ser vice he may be called upon to perform. Once enlisted, lie should be held to his duties, and severely punished if he fails to perform them. As often as not the responsibility is with the off Ecers. who will continue to be poor dis ciplinarians as long as their ap- pointment and promotion depend up on the ballots of their subordinates. This remedy is plainly not to De found by increasing the regular army, but by introducing proper military ideals and standards among the mil a.-NeW York Evening Post.

COLLIERIES UPEAED
Twelve Resume Operations In
 Wilkesbarre Region.
SOLDIERS GUARD TIE APPROACHES
Mine Workers Making a House te House Canvass to Keep Their Men In Line and Prevent Them
 Returning to Work.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. IA What was looked upon as an impor- tant day in the matter of resumption of work in the coal mines passed without any serious trouble, and each side to the controversy is claiming victory Reports received here from coal com panies all over the region are to the effect that at least twelve collier1es and four Washeries started operations yesterday. President Mitchell in talk with the correspondents asserted that reports received by him from his lieu tenants in the field showed fewer men were at work than last week.
 It is quite evident that extra efforts were made on both sides to gain an ad- vantage. The soldiers of the Third bri- gade were sent into the outlying min ing towns in this region long before starting up time to patrol the roads leading to the collieries. In some places the soldiers were scattered in tWos and threes along streets and on street cor ners, but they were not compelled to rescue any one from strikers.
 The company superintendents are au- thority for the statement that for the past two days the mine workers have been again making house to house can vases all oyer the entire territory, holding the men in line, and that if it were not for this method of keeping the men from work there would have been a large increase in the employees at work.
 A superintendent in speaking of the situation as it exists said: 'TThe num- Der of men who returned to work was not very large, but the movement in that direction was gratifying. The companies did not make great effort to break the ranks of the strikers, pre- ferring to wait until the New York conferences are, over. They have held out false hope to the men, and as soon as they are over the men who see that there is no use to hold oTt any longer will be glad to resume work"

Edgar Selden's newest success inthe way of comedy writing which has the significantly amusing title of Peck and His Mother-in Law" will be the attraction at Poli's this evening, and MT Selden's work as the author of "A Hot Old Time' justiies the claim that the new comedy is similarly funny effort. A Hot Old Time is well known here from several won drously successful engagements, and anything from his pen now will be ac- cepted prima facie as up to the mark. He presents as the stars of his new comedy Monroe, Mack and Lawrence, who have shone in vaudevillV quite as luminously as did the Rays before MT Selden began to star them in "A Hot Old Time. Naturally enough, with MT Selden's discrimination in picking stars. and with the strong contingent that he has selected to appear in their support. Peck and His AIother-in- Law may be counted in to furnish a very amusing entertainment. Prices are 25, 30 and 50 cents.
