POpuIist State Platform.

Below is given the platform adopted
by the peoples party state convention.
Let every voter in the county regard
less of his political affiliations read
this platform carefully and compare
it with the republican platform, then
say by his vote which position he en-
dorses:-
The Peoples party of Kansas in
state convention assembled, make the
following declaration of principles:
First-We reatt1rm the principles of
the Peoples party as declared in our
last national platform.
( Second-We demand the initiative
and referendum as necessary toSecure
needed legislation in the interests of
the laborer and producer and to re-
form existing abuses.
Third-We demand the enactment
of a primary election law which will
secure fair expression of the voters
of all political parties in the selection
of candidates for county and other
offices.
Fourth-We approve and indorse
the declarations of the Democratic
state platform upon the subjects of
trusts, railway commission, taxation
of corporations, ownership by the
cities of their public utilities, dis
eliminating freight rates and free
transportation of persons, government
ownership of railroads, direct legiSla-
ti0n, minority representation, also its
declaration with respect to Cuba and
the Philippine islands.
Fifth-We rejoice over the practi-
cally unanimous adoption of the initi-
atIve and referendum amendment to
the constitution of the state of Ore
gon which was endorsed by all parties
at the recent election there.
Sixth-We denounce the republican
party for its SubSeryiency to trusts
and combines, its maintenance of an
unnecessary and burdenSome tariff on
trust made goods and for it's refusal
to afford promised relief to Cuba by
reducing the enormous duty charged
on sugar, the chief product of that
island.
Seventh-We denounce the election
law enacted by the Republicans as a
masterpiece of injustice and an abuse

Mr.. Bailey has taken the wind out
of w. II. Craddock'S sails by announc-
ing that he also favorS the taxation of
anchiSeS.-Topeka Herald.
Mr.. Bailey never thought of the
taxation of franchises until Mayor
Craddock's line of campaign had been
announced. This ''also favors" bust
ness sounds very parrot-like, and very
probably comes as a result of a scent
of danger that Mayor Craddock is a
winner. So far from taking wind
out of Craddock's sails'' it will surely
put more wind in, because Bailey has
to admit that Craddock and the peo-
pies platform are right. And when
Bailey supports that idea he has to go
outside of his own platform which is
decidedly against taxing franchises.
With his platform against it, and no
previous record of his own favoring 1t,
does anyone suppose Mr.. Bailey is
sincere in his recent conversion to
Mayor Craddock's ideas?

of power for partisan purposes unpar-
alleIed in our history. 1t deprives any
party of the right to nominate the
candidates of it's choice where such
candidates have been previously NOM
mated by any other party. 1t puts a
premium on ignorance and blind de-
v3tion to party, and in every way
harnesses the independent voter in the
exercise of his franchise. 1t renders
it more difficult for the voter to ex-
press his preferences and seeks to dis
franchise, to as great an extent as
possible. the opposition to the party
in power. 1t prevents the, Australian
ballot law to an instrument of oppreS-
sion and puts countless obstacles in
the way of an huaeSt ballot and a fair
count. The liberty of the people is
not only menaced, but overthrow, by
such a perVersion of the election law,
and until this infamous law can be
wiped from our statutes we are de-
priyed of our equal rights under the
laws, in plain violation of the proVis-
ions of our constitution.
Eighth-The failure of the Republic
can party to fulfill its pledge to give
us railroad commission elected by
the people may explain it's omission
to make any allusion to state issues in
its latest platform.
Ninth-We denounce the extrava-
gance and partisanship of the last
Republican legislature, whose appro-
priations were hundreds of thousands
of dollars larger that ever before, and
which in all things made the interests
of the people subservient to the inter
ests of the Republican machine.
Tenth-It appears to US that the
peoples money has been Squandered
in providing for tax commission
which has drawn up a bill taking the
assessment of property out of the
hands of officers elected by the people
and putting it into the hands of a
high salaried setof appointed officials.
Eleventh-We demand that railroad
property shall be assessed at as high a
rate as the property of natural citizens.
We call attention to an increase of
millions of dollars in railroad charges
since the railroad law enacted by the
last Populist legislature was wiped
out by Republican partisans on the
bench.

Royce denied that Mr.. Reeder'S
theory of irrigation was that the seep-
age below an irrigated area was suffi-
cient to make the stream larger than
it would have been without the
bitches. Then after halt column of
telling how able and shrewd Professor
Tadlock is, how bad it is to try to de-
ceive readers and how that pop il
not fit to teach school, especially in
this city ETC., he admits the Herald'S
contention, going right on to say ex-
actly what we had said, viz: That
Reeder'S testimony was to the effect
that taking the water out of a stream
made it run a larger stream below the
irrigated land than it would have
done had the water not been taken
out of the stream. Mr.. Reeder was
trying to prove that Peter Hausen's
mill had more water with which to
grind than it would have had without
The irrigation plant above it. Better
take your own advice about being dis
honest with your readers, Mr., Royce.

C. NJ. COLE.

He is a general merchant IN
our city and is regarded as a
very good citizen and a good
man. Before the organization
of the alliance, MIR. Cole was a
democrat, bot has always work
ed with the populists since the
days Of the alliance.
MIR. Cole is a man 49 years
of age and his family consists
of wife and four children. He
and his family are numbered
among the very best families Of
our city, and should MIR. Cole
be chosen to represent this dis
triet in congress, no man who
voted for him would have any
thing to regret so far as his
personal character is concerned,

If the entire democratic state tick
ct should be elected this fall, how
many populists would get jobs in
KansaS?-Stockton News.
There you have it. The average
republican. postmaster editor can't
think of any better reason why tick
ct should be elected than to expect
a job out of it. Will this Young post
office fledgeling please explain how
many pops will get jobs if the entire
republican ticket should be elected?
To men of his calibre devotion to
principles of freedom never cuts any
ice. They can never understand why
people who do not want Office can be
in any way interested in politics.

UNwARRANrED TAxATIoA.

There are more kinds of slavery
than one. The bill for which L was
asked to vote was to tax the people
without giving them representation.
That is the violation of the principle
our fathers fought for in the Declare
tion of independence, when they pro-
tested against taxation without repre-
sentation. They ask me to govern
people without their, consent. That
is in violation of the doctrines the
fathers fought for.
At the Boston Tea Party the faith
ers made Boston harbOr rich with
imported tea. For what reasons?
Simply little proposition that it was
taxation without representation, and
when asked why they should fight
over that proposition they said in eff
feet: ''It is not upon the question of
tea alone, but the question of what it
will legitimately lead to; for If We
consent to this, il means civil, relig-
ious and political slavery"

DOCTRINE OF KINGS.

l cannot give to another nation
what England tried to give us, and
when you ask the question, as some
of you have, as to what it will cost, /
am happy to say that 1 have neither
the time nor the inclination to con-
slider it. may add respectfully that
I do not care what it costs. England
in her war with South Africa remind
ed me of a foolish old lady lighting
the fire with kerosene. But when /
see the republic 1 love indulging in
kindly thoughts of the rights to gov
ern another people without their con-
sent 1 am forcibly reminded of beaut-
iful young child playing with a cup
of carbolic acid. England may be for
given for trying again and again her
doctrine of conquest. l hope our
children will forgive US for trying in
the Philippines the foolish doctrine
that King George attempted to try
on US.

Senator rIasoa Explains His Vote.

Senator rIason Explains fiis Vote.
w. E. Mason, republican o. s. sena-
tor from Illinois, in explaining his
vote talks like an old-time republican,
and what he says is worth reading.
AS TO SELF GOVERNMENT.
They answer me that God put those
islands in our hands. That is the ans
wer given by every master that ever
owned slave. King George said that
for the grace of God he would govern
America and put tax upon our tea.
Spain, with her cruel yoke and shame
full government in South America and
in the Antilles, as in her Official docu-
ments, always charged her crimes to
God. The truth is that it is the di-
vine plan to give self-g0vernment.
The divine plan means progress and
righteousness, and wherever self-gOv-
eminent maintains itself, progress,
civilization and improvement come to
the people. The only places where
progress has developed and civilization
has prOSpered have been in Self-gov-
ernfng countries, and in countries
where self-government is denied, civ
ilization has taken backward step.
You ask me again why voted as
did? My father helped to free the
slave, my brothers died in that cause,
and this love of liberty was ground
into my very blood when I was born.
I would rather die today than to vote
as an American senator for any prop
osition in violation of the doctrines
that the fathers fought for at Con-
cord and Bunker Hill.

JOY IN CUBA.

You ask me why voted against
the bill? Last week I was in Cuba
and saw our beautiful flag come down.
1t is just as beautiful coming down as
it is going up, because in going down
it kept the promise of 70, 600, 600 Chris
tion people. / saw $4,000 happy peO-
pie that day. 1 saw young men and
old men fall upon their knees and sob
as though their hearts would break
for joy, because their flag was in the
sky. One old man said to me: Sen
ator, if you had taken this away from
US it would not have made your coun-
try any richer and would have made
us poor indeed"
/ voted against this bill because the
conquest of that territory and the
robbing those people Of their liberty
cannot add 81 to our wealth or one
iota to our glory, but humiliates the
very people we were at one time glad
to call our friends, and whose assist
ance we were glad to get.
wish you had allotted me more
words and more columns to answer
your question. I would answer again
and again, and yet again, that Lincoln
was right when he said that NC man
is good enough to govern another
without his consent. / would answer
you again and again, and yet again,
that have no time to consider the
question of cost.

HARD ON WYOMING TIMBER.
Three Immense Forest Fires Burp- ing Within a Few Miles of
 Battle Lake, Wyoming.

Battle Lake, Wyo., Aug. 9.-Three immense forest fires are burning fiercely within few miles of this town. Hundreds of thousands of dol lars worth of some of the most valu- able timber in Wyoming has been de- stroyed, and unless the flames are checked by rain, the loss will range into the millions.
 On the west fork of the Emcamp- ment river, one of the most beautiful forests in the state is being ravaged by fires that started in three different places, but which have now spread in- to one gigantic blaze. The amount of timber that will be destroyed there alone is estimated at least $1 1000 O0O. No little concern is being manifested for the safety of the towns of Battle Lake and Rambler, which lie mile and half apart.
 The origin of the fire is attributed to sheep herders and camp movers.

BRIEF MENTION.

A man named Rolla, living near Texarkana, was shot and fatally wounded by Ernest Anderson, his stcpson.
 During a storm at Batesville lightning struck the Batesville hotel and the barn of J. A. Luster, the latter being burned to the ground.
 l. s. Grieves, a native of Yell county, is exhibiting at Kansas City a peculiar machine on the order of perpetual motion. The invention is remarkably simple, but it is the re- suit of twelve years work. Grimes first took a circular piece cut from thick board and trimmed down the edge to resemble q circular switch back railway. In the center of this board he fastened a second circular board on steel post that fit into a ba.l-bearing bicycle axle. To the top board was fastened, by means of rod, small wheel, which was so fixed that it would strike at each revolution of the upper board at a point near the top of the inclined plane of the lower board, the lower board being slightly inclined. Grimes then placed weight on top of the upper disk, placed the wheel at the top of the inclined plane, re- leased it, and the machine began to move and continued in motion until stopped by it's inventor. The ma- chine Is started by the wheel run ming down the incline on one side. This takes the weight on the oppo- site side away from the center of gravity, and it carries the machine around until the wheel strikes the top of the incline again, when new force is imparted to the revolving upper disk.

Guy Jones, white, was drowned while attempting to swim across a stream near Mena. In company with couple of friends, he started across the swollen stream in boat. All being good swimmers, and with no fear of the water, they rocked the boat around until it capsized. One man swan across while Jones and the other returned to the shore from which they started, and after a few moments rest re-entered the stream to swim across. They were fully clothed and made rather slow prog ress, and while in the middle of the stream both were taken with cramps. Before help could reach him Jones sank out of sight. His companions succeeded in reaching some rocks standing up in the stream, and after a rest swam on to shore.
