VICTOR MURDOCH ELECTED.

Victor Murdoch, Republican nominee for
congress, was elected, Tuesday, to fill Chester
l. Longs place. His plurality was over 1900.
Only about half of the vote of the district was
polIed. The Democratic candidate made but
sorry canvass, and the Populists made scarcely
any effort. In some counties, only few scat
tering Populist votes were cast. The Socialist
candidate received more votes than the Popu-
list candidate.
This inactivity. of the forces opposed to the
Republicans is to be deplored. There is reason
for it, though. The Populists nominated a
good man, but the Democrats refused to sup
port him. There was a constant wrangle be-
tween these forces. The spirit that controlled
the people of the Seventh district in Jerry
Simpsons palmy days was not i'll evidence.
Something unusual will have to happen be-
fore the people will awake to realization of
actual conditions. When the people get sense
enough to quit quarreling and vote together,
they will accomplish somethng-not till then.

Race Suicide.

EDITOR AGITAToR: We hear much about
s.race suicide" Who is it that is so solicitous
and fears the race will diminish here as in
France? Are they as solicitous about the well
fare of the struggling masses that constitute
very large percentage of our population? /
will enumerate some of the classes who desire
dense population and profit by their mseries:
First, the politician could not buy or coerce
man belonging to the wel-to-do classes, but
can both coerce and buy the ignorant roo':
and they are needed to fight the battles of the
world No nation could maintain large army
were it not for the people who cannot find en-
poyment and have become hardened by their
necessities so they are willing to become pro-
fessional murderers i. e., soldiers.
The land agents want dense population so
that they can sell more real estate.
The merchant wants mere customers.
The lawyer knows that a dense population
tends to produce crime and criminals, furnish
ing them with clients,
The doctors know that crowded population
living in fats and slums furnishes them with
large part of their business.
And we might keep adding indefinitely TO
tie list +.

BEEE TRUST BUSTED l?l

In the circuit court of the United States at
Chicago, Judge Peter Grosscup entered the final
order against the beef trust, Tuesday.
The temporary restraining order, issued
year ago, was made permanent by the order of
the court
The order of the court prohibits the "Big
Five" packers from combining to raise the
price of beef. 1t prohibits them from forming
any kind of combination which will make
prohibitive price on meat.
The decision of Judge Grosscup is great
victory for Hearst's Chicago American, the
publisher of which paper first secured the evil
dence against the beef combine and presented
1t to the United States government, and most
of the evidence preseted later to Judge Gross
cup was secured by the American.
The beef trust will take an appeal to the
United States supreme court.

THE BAR'L is OPEN.

According to the Topeka Herald, the Cleve-

Kansas, and have expressed the determination
to organize the state so as to send Cleveland
Hill German kind of delegation to the next
national convention. The bar'l has already
been opened, and Democratic papers, as well as
committeeman, are to be "assisted."
Notwithstanding their efforts, they will find
it uphill work to capture the entire Kansas
Democracy for Cleveland-there are too many
Brysn Dem ocrats in Kansas.
