Our advice to hardy young men is to stay in Kansas few more years, as we believe the craze will be over and the people will try to make a living for themselves and not depend on the government furnishing them flat money.

Last fall, we were repeatedly informed that Alden E. True and Joseph Treu were well educated, honest, capable men, and it elected would see that all laws would be inforced and reform would be added to our laws for the benefit of the laboring classes. We want to know how they have carried out such pledges.

Have they used their influence to detraud the people by trying to unseat members that had from one to one thousand majority? Have they voted to unseat members because they were once postmasters and refuse to vote to useat Populists that are now postmasters? Have they used their influence to keep a legal house from doing business? Have they been on the side of law and order or not? The people of the county should be informed of these questions through the county press. We take state papers, from them we only learn that Wabaunsee county has got a senator that looks like an English Lord, finely dressed, dignifled appearance, etc. That 18 all we can learn about them. Have they introduced any reform bills? Please let the readers know. Mrs.
