The parties who have been buying
lands in the up Elk country for some
time have announced through their
agents that they will buy no more at
the present time, having already Sc.
cured $1,000 acres. There has been
much speculation as to who this land
was really purchased for. The fact
that an Elkins man, Captain Cobb, wgas

A UNITED
Kansas Sounds II Slogan to the Party
of the People.

AdHSsS SounUS II S1OSan TO the f1rty
of the People.
The chairman of the Democratic con
ventiOn of Kansas in his address to the
delegates sounded a keynote that will
have interest in Massachusetts and
shows that a united Democracy from
the east to the west and north and
south is again to be an accomplished
fact.
"The people of Kansas said he,
"send this slogan across the Mississippi
valley and over the Appalachian noun
tains to New England. We are for free
raw material, and we are willing to
give the laborer Of the east free hides
in competition with our hides. because
the beef trust robs us ever of the hair
and then sells the balance to the east
ern manufacturer at a higher and fixed
price, SO that the Door are shoeless.
Our Republican congressman have mis-
represented us long enough. We are in
favor Of the old fashioned doctrine as
enunciated by Samuel j. Tilden and re-
enunciated by Grover Cleveland of Il
tariff for revenue only. The time is
past when we should protect trusts
and c%apitaliStic combinations. Protec-
ton, as declared by the Republican
party, is now used as an aid to the
rich to become richer and for the poor
to become poorer" Hurrah for the IN
terrified Democracy of Kansas!

ShanEhaiing and "PrOtectiOn.'

The house committee on merchant
marine and fisheries has unanimously
reported in favor of the passage Of the
Morrell bill to prohibit the practice of
"shanghaiing" in the United States.
and it is to be hoped that the bill will
pass both houses at this session. Shnng-
haiing poor drunken and dragged sail
ors Is almost rs mean as Sheltcring rob
bers by means of n protective tariff,
for while shanghailng rohs Il few the
tariff plumbers the whole people.

GRAFT AND U~SURPATION.
Serious Charge In Connection With
the ISthmuS Pine Line.

Tic lSthH1uS ripe Llhe.
In the debate on the rate bill May 10
the charge of graft and usurpation was
made against the president in connec-
ton with a monopoly for a pipe line
on the isthmus Of Panama. which had
been granted to the Union Oil com
pany. Senator Morgan had secured an
amendment to the rate bill making
pipe lines on the isthmus common car
riers.
Mr.. Hopkins moved to reconsider the
motion by which the amendment was
adopted.
Speaking to the motion, Senator Nor
gan said the concession by the presi-
dent for a pipe line in the canal zone
had an oily, not to say a tishy, smell
and was a peculiarly pronounced case
Of graft. He declared other pipe lines
had been denied the same privileges
granted to the Union company. and it
"a "a sheer, cold usurpation Of pow
err"
This is a very serious charge and one
which if well supported should result
In the impeachment of the president.
1t was bad enough to say Of him that
in his negotiations with Tillman and
Bailey he entered upon them with a
dilemma. arranged affairs with a sub
terfugc, withdrew with n mental rcser-
walton and prcvaricatcd when caught,
But IT is still worse to charge that he
is a CRATER and usurper in league with
Cromwell ana the oil trust. II this
last charge is rs we'll sustained as the
charge of bnd faith has been il is high
time to rid the executive office Of its
present occupant.

POLITICAL PARTIES.
The Young Man Must Choose
Between Them.
WHAT DEMOCRACY OFFERS HIN

aAeSes to Nonc-iiome Rule and
Honest Governmental Courts Pub
1icity ana Welcomes the Closest IN
vestigntion.
The universities and colleges and
high schools are again sending out
thousands of young men equipped. as
far as education can arm them, to fight
l1fes battle. They will enter into
every profession and business and
must struggle for a living with the
older n more seasoned army that
has preceded them. Many of these
young men, especially from the law
schools, will enter upon political ca
reers, and all will have to decide upon
the political party they will support.
Those that are honest and true, and
nearly all young men are so until con-
taminated, will naturally turn from
corruption and grating, and some at
least will strive to correct those terri
BILE evils that have so vastly dimmed
the ulster of the party in power. Fam
lily ties n associations naturally
have great influence in deciding the
political course Of young men about to
cast their first vote. The bias Of the
teachers of economics has led many to
look on but n side Of political issues.
and hence many young men are very
apt to decide their political future
without due investigation of both sides
Of the great political questions that di-
vide the parties.
AS the Democratic party has every
thing to gain by the investigation and
publicity Of it's contentious and being
the great historic party of the nation.
it's principles should be thoroughly
scrutinized and given due weight be.
fore a decision is arrived at.
The fundamental doctrine of democ-
racy is equal rights to all and special
privileges to none" The Democrats
believe in home rule and that every
community has the right to decide its
local issues and the amount of the To-
cal taxation, to decide upon municipal
ownership and the regulation Of the
liquor traffic and such other local mat
tiers as affect the community. All these
under Democratic rule are settled as a
majority Of the legal voters may de-
eide.
The great national questions of the
tariff, subsidies to corporations and in
%dividuals. regulation of railroad rates
and control of trusts and combines. the
management of the finances of the
country, the rights of capital and la
Dor, the question of individualism or
socialism, militarism, imperialism; tax
alton without representation. all must
be investigated before the young man
a fairly decide with whom he will
politically ally himself.
AS government is the chief agency
and adjunct of civilization, it is entire
ly worthless unless it protects life and
property and provides liberty without
license. a government which takes
from the people by taxation more mon
ey than is needed to defray the ex-
penses Of the public business econom
ically administered or takes money
from the many in order to favor and
enrich the few by indirection under the
false pretense of protecting labor com
mits robbery and fraud and is undem-
ocratic.

Workmen Crushed to Death I'm
der Tank Cartridge
Swept Away.

Casper, Wyo., March 26.-Nine per-
sons were killed and thirteen injured
when an accommodation train on the
Chicago & Northwestern railway s
new branch ran into a washout on the
prairie twenty six miles west of here
this morning. l..
Most of the persons killed and in
jured were workmen on the way! to the
grading camps. They were in ca
boose which. was at the rear sof the
train. Back of the caboose was pom
derous steel watertank car. The ca
boose sank deep into the mud and the
tankcar plunged into the caboose and
crushed like an eggshell, catching the
people in trap. :. -.@s =
About the same time the accident oc-
Cured, the middle span of the big
railroad bridge across the Platte river
near this city, went out, the result of
floods, and it became impossible to send
trains to the scene. A force of men
was at once put to work on the bridge
and the officials announced it. would
soon be completed. &
| { Superintendent Cortillon and Drs.
Green, Gillian and Keith, crossed the
river by wagon bridge, secured a
handcar, and started for the scene A
going six miles, the handcar was
blocked. The physicians then drove to
| the wreck. - < Is
+ The wreck occurred on the new line
being constructed from Casper to the
Shoshone reservation, which is to be
thrown open to settlement next August

ONLY SIX DAYS,
THEN BIG STRIKE
Miners and Operators in Deadlock
and Shutdown Seem
ingly Certain.

Journal Special Service. @>*
Indianapolis, March 26.-Prepara-
tions for the big impending strike in
the bituminous coal fields today took
on activity which demonstrates that
both mine operators and miners are
convinced the conflict is inevitable.
With negotiations practically at an
end and peace hopes all but abandoned,
the operators suddenly realize that only
six more days remain in which to get
ready for the enforced shutdown Of
the mines. E ~
The miners, under the old agreement
are bound to work no longer than next
Saturday. On that day, unless outside
intervention steps in to stay the limit
the strike threatens to become effect.

nous coal operators and miners Of the

tricts resumed their executive sessions
in joint, committees today. The dead
lock apparently was as firm as ever. :.
Before the meeting Of the joint scale
committee of the central competitive
district closed it's doors, President
