The talk of Cleveland for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination is being
Sevived. It seems hard for some men
20 stoD presidential boom. The case
of Senator Hanna is another one in
point Admiral Schley has discovered
a sure way of heading off a nominal
ton and has no patent on it, but no
body seems inclined to use it. He said
he wouldn't accept a nomination if it
were rendered him and wouldn't quail
ify if elected. Everybody understands
that kind of a declaration. No more is
said about nominating Schley.

The closing of Industrial plants and
the reduction in wages in the east are
likely to cause a tide of emigration to
set in toward the west the like of
which has not been seen in long
time. So far there has been no marked
check to prosperity in the west. No
industries have closed. and there has
been no lowering of wages. Such con-
ditions are certain to attract people
from less favored sections of the coun-

M Dewey, wife of c. P. Dewey, the
Manhattan millionaire, and father of
Chauncey Dewey, the ranchman

has made her residence in Chicago, the
Deweys' former home, but she now
lives at Manhattan, and occasionally
visited at the Eureka hotel the past
summer. though she is not as we'll
known to Topeka people as is Mr..

investments in Manhattan and since he
made his hotel a society summer resort

nestle troubles. Mrs. Dewey is the Sec
ond wife Of the millionaire. Chauncey
Dewey, who is now having trouble over
the killing of the Berrys, is not her son.

The reason that the west did not be-
come panicky when the financial cy-
clone struck Wall street was because
the New York banks did not have all
our money as they did in 1893. The
pOpulists had given the bankers some
instruction in economics and those in
the west had been rather good learn
ers. This time Wall street didn't
have their. money and business goes
on as usual out here.

Judges in England, since jingoism
has become paramount, seem 10 be
tainted in the same way that they are
in this country, and the divinity that
hedged them about is fast disappear

brought forth some very caustic re-

Farmers still remember that when
corn was at a fair price last winter
the railroads refused to furnish cars
to transport it to market, but as soon
as the elevators and railroads had
things fixed to suit themselves the
side-tracks were filled with empty

playing the same game down in Kan
sas on the wheat crop at the present

tinue to vote 'er straight and denounce
the public ownership of the means Of

STILL AFTER THE INDEPENDENT

That the postoffice department is
rotten from top to bottom, from the
postmaster general to the cross roads
Nasbys, is becoming more evident all
the time. Every one knows tnat The
Independent is as legitimate a news
paper as is published anywhere. It's
subscription list is open to the scrutiny
of any man who comes into the Of
Ace, it's advertisements are genuine
and every one paid for and both it's
readers and advertisers are leading
men of the state. Yet this paper is
continually bounded by the postoffice
authorities at Washington and the
miserable, cross roads republican pest
masters all over the country.
The postmaSters are authorized to
send card to the publisher If the per-
son to whom the paper is addressed
refuses to take it out of the postoffice
At first The Independent dropped such
names, but so many protests came
from its subscribers whose papers had
been stopped that an order was issued
to always write to the subscriber when
such a card was received from the
postmaster before the name was re-
moved from the mailing list The re-
publican Nasbys seem to have taken a
rev hitch IN their trousers OF late
and gone to writing more refusal
cards than ever They seem deter
mined to prevent any man reading
The Independent wnere 1t is in their
power to do So AS a specimen Of
what they are doing the following let
ter is printed:
Editor Independent: received
your letter of July g. and must say that
got a surprise. In your letter you
say that the postmaster notified you
that l refused to take The Independent
out of the office. There are two
things: the postmaster must have
dreamed or he has surely lied, as The
Independent is the most welcome visi-
tor of all the newspapers that | take.
it would be impossible for me to re-
fuse to take it out of the Office as |
get my mail by r. F. ID. No. IL. So
you will confer great favor by send
ing me the paper, and when ! want it
stopped, l am of age and shall notify
you myself. / don't want any post
U1dSlcT W act do SudI uidn OFCi lnC yet,
or to say what | shall read or what
shall not read. l take three repub
lican papers and as far as educating a
man or giving him any light they
don't amount to anything. If the
postmaster had stopped them it would
have been all right. :. Ii our post
master has any paper that will preach
the truth as boldly as The Indepen-
dent l will subscribe for that, too.
THOS. STOUT.

That is specimen of what The In
dependent has to contend with and
had it not been for the self-sacrifcing
work of the readers of tn, paper it
would long ago have been forced to
discontinue. To these thousands of
faithful men and women, most of
whom the editor has never seen, but
each of whom has place in his heart,

At the Denver conference there was
some discussion about a change of
name. The Independent has always
held that it is not the name peoples
party or ''populist'' that the pluto
Gratis hate. 1t is the principles that
we advocate and the plutocratic press
would pour out its walls of the gall
OF bitterness just as profusely upon
any other name as they have upon
those Of peoples party and populist.
The populists have passed the stage
where ridicule has any effect They
have borne the showers of sarcasm
the shafts of hatred and the subtle
thrusts of derision, irony and satire
with manly fortitude. They have re-
piled in the words of Hosea Bigelow:
Call me coward, call me traitor,
Just as suits your mean ideas
Here | stand a tyrant hater,
The friend of God and peace"
