The Populists of Meade county
cannot be caught on any such hooks
' as were set out by Mr. McNeal last
Thursday night. He had better try
some other bait as that kind would
not even catch "suckors."
It is a pity that Judge Selvidge
can't go back to Missouri on a visit,
each year without being charged
with being a citizen of that state.
This year he was detained there by
the sickness of his brother, who died
while Mr. Selvidge was there.
We beg pardon of our readers for
consuming an extra amount of space
this week in discussing politics.
This is our last shot and it is our
forward 13-inch gun and it takes a
heavier charge, too, so be a little
patient. We will quit politics cold
next week and turn our attention to
the development of the salt well,
boring for oil or gas or something
else.
Fuhr in one place charges the
writer with being a Republican and
a few lines farther says that two
years ago we did not vote for one
Republican on the ticket. The fol
lowing occurred to us, "Consistency,
thou art a Jewel where thou art to be
found," and we thought an addition
like this very applicable, "But thou
art not to be found in the make-up
of this man." ' "
The "Thrifty Citizea's" Interest.
From the New York World.
A red-hot organ of "McKinleyism
asks, "What are trusts and militar
ism and ' imperialism to any thrifty
citizen of New York?" And its
answer is, "A painted devil and a
mare's nest."
The trusts have made it impossi
ble for the "thrifty citizen" to en
gage in any one of a hundred kinds
of business that used to be open to
everybody. They mercilessly close
works and factories and throw
thrifty citizens out of employment.
They arbitrarily fix the prices -f
hundreds of' articles which mer
chants are permitted to sell only by
their grace, and they forbid the
thrifty citizen from selling any ar
ticle which they do not control, un
der penalty of proscription and ruin
to his business. They make the
thrifty citizen who is a consumer
pay higher prices for their products
than they are soid for in foreign
markets. And they corrupt politics
and pervert to their own selfish ends
the Government which the thrifty
citizen pays to support.
The victims of trusts who in
clude nearly the whole people will
be interested in learning, on the
eve of election, that in the view of a
McKinley organ these . monopolies
are merely a painted figment of the
imagination.
What militarism and imperialism
do to thrifty citizens is equally plain.
It is they who have supplied the
5,321 soldiers sacrificed in the war
in the Philippines. Has any jingo
politician or commercial statesman
or money-seeking "expansionist"
lost his life in the attempt to reap
glory and extend trade in the East?
No! The victims of this wretched
war of criminal aggression have all
been brave regular soldiers or
"thrifty citizens" who volunteered.
Imperialism everywhere and always
plays with the lives of the common
people as pawns.
U'ere the 51 corpses, the 467
sick soldiers, the 58 convalescents
and the 12 insane who arrived at
San Francisco on the latest trans
port from Manila, and the "2,000
physical wrecks left behind," mere
ly the victims of a "mare's nest?"
But it is not lives and health alone
that are sacrificed in Mr. McKin
ley's policy of militarism and im
perialism. The "thrifty citizen's"
are called upon to pay the expenses
of his war. This has already
amounted to $200,000,000 and is
now costing $4,000,000 a week.
When the jingo statesmen at Wash
ington voted war taxes did they lay
them on incomes or on .wealth in
any form, as their imperialist
brothers in England did to sustain
their war against freedom in South
Africa? Not at all! Nine-tenths of
our national taxes are collected from
consumption the most of it from
the common necessaries of life.
As our imperial plutocrats pro
tected their persons from the perils
of war, so they guarded their pock
ets from the levies of the tax-gatherer
to support that war.
If the imperialists had been com
pelled to fight their own war and
the trade expansionists obliged to
pay the bills, the trouble in the
Philippines would never have hap
pened. A Contrast in Stamp Speakers.
At Newburg, N. Y., Monday, to
one of his hearers who interrupted
him with a cry of "Down with the
trusts!" Gov. Roosevelt said: "You
are a hoodlum, and nothing else,"
and much more in the same abusive
vein. At Sewall, W. Va., as Mr.
Bryan's train was pulling out a man
in the crowd shouted a question at
him as to why he favored the ratifi
cation of the Spanish peace treaty.
But Mr. Bryan did not call him a
"hoodlum". He had the train stop
ped and gave the questioner a full
and courteous answer. This con
trast in a measure needs no com
ment. '
Hon. John Sherman For Freedom.
From the New York World.
The following letter from ex-Secretary
of State John Sherman was
written for and published with the
World's remarkable page of answers
to the question "What ought we do
with the Philippines?" on Sept 4,
1898:
To the Editor of the World:
In response to your request I ex
press my well-considered opinion
that the United States ought not to
accept sovereignity over the Philip
pines, but should secure the inher
ent right of the people of those is
lands to form and maintain a re
publican goverement similar to our
own. John Sherman.
There is no good reason why Ed
monds would serve the interests of
the cattlemen of this county any bet
ter than Mr. Adamswould. Adams
is an old resident of this county and
is equally, if not better, qualified
for the position than Mr, Edmonds.
Vote for S. D. Adams and you will
never regret it.
Hon. Lot Ravenscraft should re
ceive your vote next Tuesday. He
is one of the best men who ever
served a constituency and will be no
exception now. -

list ticket from W, J. Bryan for
President to John Conrad for

It appears that Chester, I. Long
has been misrepresenting Claude
Duval to a Catholic priest at
Wichita by accusing him of be
ing a member of the A. P. A.'s.
The following is Mr. Duval's r&
ply to Mr. Geo. T. Pitts, Chair
man of the Congressional Com
mittee, which explains itself:
McPherson, Kas., Oct. 25, 1900.
Hon: Geo. T. Pitts, Wellington, Kas.
My Dear Sin In reply to your letter of
the 24th inst. asking if I am or ever have
been a member ;af the A. P. A. as told by
the Hon. Chester I. Long to a piominent
Catholic minister of this district, beg to say
that I never have at auy time, nor am I now,
either in spirit or in fact been a member of
the A. P. A.'s. I am one of those who be
lieve that every individual should have the
privilege and right, be they Catholic or Prot-
estent, to worship their God at the dictates of
their own conscience. It is true that I am a
Protestent, a member of the Presbyterian
church and am an active worker in the Sun
day school, but I have never referred to this
fact in the campaign, either privately or pub
licly, because I believe that the great work of
all Christian organizations in their various de
partments is for the purpose of elevating the
morals and general character of the people,
both old and young, up to the highest plane
of good citizenship, and that such work should
be wholly and e itirely separate from politics
for the purpose of advancing the welfare of
our country to the end that our municipal,
county, state and national governments may
be conducted with honor and justice to all
people, with special privileges to none and
equal opportunities to all.
I am surprised that Mr. Long should so far
forget these great principles of justice as to
personally, himself, misrepresent me to one
of the great Christian organizations of our
country.
. Again answering you that this statement to
the Catholic minister is absolutely false, I re
main Very truly, Claudk Duval.
Vote for Selvidge for County At
torney.
Vote for the Judicial Amendment
to the Constitution.
Vote for Miss: Maggie Martin for
County Superintendent.
Vote for Conrad for Commission
er and your own interests.
John Elliott should be remember
ed by the voters on next Tuesday
when they go to the polls.
Vote for Claude Duval for Con
gress. He will make us a good con
gressman and always represent the
people.
Meade county will give Bryan and
Stevenson a full party vote. The
prospects for them carrying the
county is good.
We hope no one is foolish enough
to believe that thi country would be
ruined by Bryan's election. Every
thing would go on just the same.
Frank Davis is still very busy ex
plaining his position on different
matters, to the voters. He was very
anxious that this paper not say any
thing " about his candidacy, that he
might have easier , sailing, but we
have tried to" give the voters some
thing to think about and we are of
the opinion, that Frank will think
they considered it, about this time
next week, .
The Globe says ."we want our
county warrants at par." So do we,
but everyone in this county, with
the brains of an oyster, knows why
they are not at par. Why, did you
ask? Because the monev that was
collected as taxes was not legitimate
ly appropriated. There is at this
time between $5,000 and $6,000 in
county warrants outstanding. The
amount of shortage found to exist in
the county treasurer's office was
nearly $4,000.. The expert exami
nation to find the shortage cost over
$1,000. The sum of these will more
than balance the amount of out
standing warrants, thus leaving them
at par, provided all the money col
lected had been left in the treasury,
where it would have been had the
clerk and treasurer complied with
their duties. Now, we don't want
to hear any more of this kind of
silly clap-trap from Fuhr as he
knows it as well as we do, but is
only prevented from publishing the
facts by his love for Wiley coupled
with his well known reputation for
hypocrisy and inconsistency.
