J. county Treasurer By A.

C. Mbndbnhall, Deputy. for ihe past twenty yeurs. cut dowu the southern repre scntatfon in congress. suggested In Mr Simpson, woulo put the ity of a majority in the lower house of congress beyond the reaco of the Democratic party for years to come nnd, perhaps, forever.

Should the southern states, depart from their well established precedent of robbing the black man of hU vote, and give to all a free ballot and fair count many slates hut now count Democratic mujorities would swing permanently into the Republican column. All the "Weury Willies" were routed from their straw stack slumbers and warned not to eut the steuk. These humane precautions were effectual. No deaths from poison huvo occured in or about Seneca since the steaK was stolen Seneca's record is unsurpassed in another respect. Never before has any town conserved to impute theft, to all save one of its residents in or der to save the life of ona actual thief.

That truly remarkable state of Kansas alone could contain a town with such a record of sympathy with possible suffering us Seneca's. The various humane societies of the world should take prompt action to -how their appreciation of Seneca's humane endeavors Seneca is entitled to at least 2,500 medals, one for every man. woman and child in town Dos sec 20 twp 15 rango 2(1 ami JR8 00 NOTI T.

Ex Congressman Jerry Simpson addressed what he pretended to believe was a gathering of the tri uneforces at the M.

E. church In this city Monday afternoon. Nearly one- balfhis audience were ladies, about one-third Republicans from about town, and thu other third Democrat and Populist voters. Like all fusion speakers, Mr. Simpson devoted most of his lime to showing up the unpleasant side of our political and industrial condition, and of course held the Republican party responsible for ail tue evils that have ever come upon the peo pie, except the Galveston storm which ha3 not yet been put in their campaign book, However, he was charitable enough to admit that there wos one honest Republican, an ex attorney general of Ohio.

Below we print a few notes Bug. gested by Mr, Simpson's attempt to prejudice and mislead his audience. His nttemt to fool a reading intel ligent Kansas audience into the be lief that this is the only prosperous section of the union will be treated with the contempt it justly merits. When he was comparing prices of the farm products why did he neglect wheat and live stock. Most of the corn raised is used to fatten cattle and hogs, and is marketed when the stock, is sold.

By passing by the live stock market be neglected the most important part of the corn market. Kor his comparison he selected the only two articles which would not have shown a rise in price in favor of McKinlev's administration as against that of Cleveland. When he first started in on the Standard Oil Trust be laid its exist ence to Republican legislation, but changed his mind later on and said that it existed because the oil fields were limited to a small area and that a few individuals had bought up this oil producing territory. He spoke of Croker and Clark as millionaires who owed ther wealth to Republican class legislation. Here again he presumed on the ignorance of his audience, every one of whom was cognizant of the fact that Clark and Croker are both supporting Bryan, and that Crokcr's success ful control of the New York Democ racy is Bryan's only hope in that state.

He spoke of the Sherman and the Ohio anti-trust laws. Did any one hear him mention an anti-trust mens ure of Populist or Democratic origin? He seemed very modest when it came to exploiting the actions of bis parti' in this line Perhaps bis statement that Br an stands for government ownership will cause the minds of some of his hearers to revert to Cleveland's candidacy for his second term. In order to hold the silver Democrats in line the St. Louis Republic published an inter view with Senator Vest of Missouri, in wnicn Vest said that Cleveland bad expressed himself privately as favoring the free and unlimited coin age of silver. This interview was copied and commented upoa by the entire Democratic press of the West; Cleveland was elected, but what did he de in regard to the coinage of silver? The question since has been, who lied, Cleveland or Vest? Mr.

Bryan is not making government ownership an issue, and would hardly carry a state in the anion if he did. All such talk is meant to hold the Populists in line. Mr. Simpson says thai the Indians are free and govern themselves. No one would care to deny that they are entirely under the control of congress and the president, They are not citizens and have no constitutional rights.

They nave been thus treated for generations. Have the permanency of our institutions been endangered by our manner of governing the Indian? Why is there more danger in leaving the government of the Philippines with congress and the president. If the Indians have been given a free self government, as Mr. Simpson says has been done, without making them citizens, there is an established precedent that can be safely followed. in the Philippines.

He admits the wrong of disfranchising the Negro, and yet he is en gaged in stumping the state in be baif of a the parly that perpetrated ibis wrong and has benefitted by it OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.

The members of the Republican County Central Committee are re quested to meet in Gove City on Saturday, September 29. D. C. Bi.ackwill, Chairman. C.

S. McKain, Secietary. There is a story that some one wrote the chairman of the Populist Kansas Committee giving him the Bames.of twelve veterans who voted for McKinley in 1896. but would not do so this fall. Mr.

Ridgley wrote them at once. The letters came back with the comment that they were dead. Login County Clipper. The Demo-Pops pretend to have topes of large gains in northern states, basing their calculations on the returns of the Maine and Ver mont elections. How they can extract much comfort from these elections Is.

perhaps, for them alone to com pre tend. The Republicans carried these states by greater majorities than ever before, excepting the landslide of 1896, These were stute elections in which Populo Brj anism did not figure. Maine and Vermont are yet to be heard from as regards the "Democratic party as reformed by the Great I am." The Republican party has demon strated that eelf government is not only possible, but honorable and full of glory. The leaders of to-day take counsel of the wisdom of the past. They are the distributors, not the hoarders of liberty.

They gave free dom to Cuba and Porto Rico and will gtae that freedom to the Philippines which will best protect individual rights aid guarantee the respect of other powers. This is the imperial ism of true freedom, the royalty of Justice, and will soon be recognized the crowning glory of national achievement. Norton Courier. Reeder-Scott Debates.

One of the topics of the special farmers' institutes edition for October Is farm harvesters; wl at are their advantages and disadvantages as compared with hand work? Now will be a good time to discuss this matter as many will have been en gaged in harvesting corn this season, and all experiences will fresh in the mind and can be given for the information of western faimers for use next year. Let the response. to this topic bo general and generous. A great deal can be learned in ibis manner. Humanity in Kansas.

Chicago Inter-Ooean. The pretty and thriving town of Seneca, Kas certainly deserves na tional and international recognition for its absolutely unrivaled record of collective effort to prevent human suf fering Neer before has history re corded that a town of 2,500 people unanimously got out of bed to prevent an unknown thief from unmten tionally injuring himself with the proceeds of his crime. That is what Seneca did last Sunday morning. A Seneca householder was annoyed by nightly thefts of provisions from his back porch He believed the thieves were certain worthless curs, He procured three pounds of beef steak and a box of rat poison, rubbed the drug on the steak and left ii on a shelf within doggish jeach. He con siderately warned his neighbors to keep up any dogs they prize; I.

Very early Sunday morning he was aroused by a noise on his porch. He looked out and saw a man with a basket run out of the yard. He found his poi soned steak gone. Thoughts of the thief writhing in the throes of arsen ical poisoning horrified his humane mind. He ran at top speed to the fire bell and rang it in frenzy.

To those wko answered the alaam he explained the imminent danger. Soon every church bell was clanging, and the whole pop ulation was aroused. Two hundred men ran through the streets, bawling in front of every house: "Don't eat the steak! It's poisoned!" There was some talk of lynching the butch ers, for at first many people thought that all the beefsteak in town was poisoned. Some were indignant at the imputation that they might have the stolen steak in their possession. But these sentiments soon gave way vatbe exigencies of the situation were understood.

The people of the surrounding country aroused by the clanging of all Seneca's bells, cama pouring in to see whether the town bad gone mad. They were met by couriers galloping out. on every road, yelling at every farm house. "Don't cat the steak 1" Estate of John Wahl, Deceased. State of Kansas, QO Gove County, f8.
