"The National View claims to be the friend Of man whereverhe is found in an oppressed or suffering condition.

Mccormick, Barton'cotmty, CONGRESSIONAL. Accordiagjo the report of the Kansas State Baard of agriculture, the corn product of Kansas this year will be about 50,000,000 bushels The present estimate places the total product of the state at about 30 per cent, than that reported one month ago. This falling is due to the fact developed during the month, that many ears which promised well were found to be defective nubbins and poorly filled; hence the shiiik age in the product. Nearly all the corn grown in Kansas this year in the eastern third of the state. In many counties there is practically no corn.

Wheat is said to bo much beltei than was expected, the total product being 23,000.000 bushels. An anusually large yield of oats and flax in most portions of the state is reported. shocks of fodder. II. A.

Jerry Prophet, who has been here sojourning among old friends for the past few week's, leaves tomorrow for his home in Mo. And still they come, another new member to be added to the Alliance next Saturday evening. A political gathering is announced for the Manning school house next Saturday Oct. 4th.

The county candidates of the peoples party, will address the crowd. On last Saturday the residence of T. Ryman, two miles southwest of this place, was the scene of cue of the most enjoyable events of the season. It being the 25th aniversary (silver wedding) of their wedding day. While it seems to have been Mr.

and Mrs. Ryman's in-tention to allow the day to pass without anychange in their usual diversions, his many friends thought differently, and made a successf uly effort to make Sept. 27th 1890, a day long to be remembered by the venerable couple and their many friends who participated in thes surprise. So stealthily were the arrangements made by the junior members of the family, that not the faintest suspicion of what was comming, dawned upon the minds of the parents Eleven o'clock was set for the hour of revelation.

In a jesting manner week before last we published a short editorial to the effect that McDonald, of the Dispatch, aspired to the office of probate judge and intended to have his name presented at the republican convention as a candidate. If we had not been told that this was a fact we should not have intimated as we did. Even though such a report was being circulated we did not give it credit, and those who have read our article know that it was intended for nothing more than a joke. It appears that McDonald is ever trying to find some little fault with his neighbors whereby he can roast them through his paper. He does not even use the word reported, but tries to convey the idea that his articles are from authentical sources.

For publishing the little editorial above mentioned, with no other felling toward McDonald than a friendly one, he came out last week with an article accusing the Alliance of being an offspring of the Daylight, or meaning more plainly that thL paper is backed up by Joe. Shimek and only a scheme whereby to strengthen his newspaper circulation. No gentleman will make such an assertion as this unless he is sure of what he says and has proof of the same, as it is about The Alliance does not believe in keep L. C. CLARK A.

In the line of this thought, "tffc elevation of humanity," is a prime consideration, which moves our sympathies and eu.srgized our action. It would have the world better than it is, effete institutions brushed away, monopolies and corporations held to a strict account, social evils abated, the financial policy of the government reconstructed, so that there shall be but one standard for coin money, and that bimetallic; free coinage, appropriations for public improvements aud all cognate measures for the public good and the welfare of the laboring men, whose hands produee all that is useful and in our, social life.

In the course of its researches the Alliance has found i as injurious as anything we know of. We would do right in mating McDonald retract his bare-faced lie, but as no one will belie 7e him it would be a waste cf time. We can prove, ifneces-sary, that Shimeic or any other man has or never had anything to do with this paper, financially or otherwise, and if McDonald continues to intimate to the contrary he may be forced to bring proof of the same or retract. He asks why if we are in sympathy with the farmers. we do not take hold and help him to fight their cause.

All this is worth something and should give them a warm place in the affections of the people at large. As for "the evidence of the life to come' it stands with open eyes and listening ears, to see and hear all that may appear in that direction. It does not prejudge the question, or rest its opinions on any mere dogmatic assumption of what is, and what is not.

Of course, as a. nonconformist and independent thinker, it retains the right of private judgement, while, true to its own convictions and the volitions of its own mind, it will accept only that which it can understand, and adjudgad to be truth, from the standpoint of its conceptions of what is evidence and what is not. And so, without prejudice, and with the broadest charity; with a disposition to be honest, just and true to all sides, it will endeavor to pursue an even course, which shall challenge the respect, and provoke the good will of all who love far play, and believe in the good and true." The Kansas state reunion will commence at Topeka next Tuesday. It is said that President Harrison will be there on Friday, the last day.

Ryman has filled the four years, 1880 18S0, thus containing a permanent record of the work of the Society for that period. The book also contains the addresses delivered before the Society at the annual meetings, from ISSti to 18'JO. Besides, half of the volume is occupied with the official ear-respondence pertaining to the office of Governor of Kansas Territory during the latter part of Gov. Shannon's administration in and of uov. Geary's administration from September 9, 1830, to March 10, 1837, including the official executive minutes kept by Gov.

Geary. These documents relate to a considerable portion of the most stirring period of Kansas Territorial history. They have been gathered by Secretary Adams from Congressional documents published about that period. These documents have hitherto laid hidden from the general public, and much of what they contain will be found to be new to students of Kansas history. The book has an alphabetical index of sixty pages, pointing to every subject and almost every name contained in it; also a chronological index to the contents Of the public documents.
