s THE ALLIANOE-INDBPBNTJENT. THE TIGHT IN KANSAS The executive committee of the re publican central committee of Kansas held a meeting at Topeka on the 20th. The press reports of tho procee'lin3 contain several announcements that doservo attention. "Tho republican editors of tho state are to to called together in order that they may work in harmony." It will not do to trust to individual judgment and common tense. The papers of tho state trust bo turned into a party machine. The statement is made that a trc mendious onslaught will bo made upon Congressman Davis to prevent his re election. Tho republican nominee, Burton, is already on tho stump "and A. W. Smith, Judge Johnson and other well known speakers will bo sent to assist him." "In its plan for state or ganization tho republican central com mlttco has undertaken a Herculean task. It will bo expensive, but the re publican organization will bo as com plcto as in any state in tho union." This shows two things: In tho first place the republicans of Kansas are desperate, and in tho-second place, Ihey and their friends in tho east aro going to pour out money without stint to defeat tho present independent members of con gross. Wall street cannot permit tho election of tho independent congress men. "For tho past week six typewriters have been kept constantly at work, sending letters all over the state to local republican leaders asking for their assistance in perfecting the cor respondenco bureau. It is tho inten tion to have at least two, and in tho larger townships five men whoso duty ii will bo to keeg the central com mit, teo posted." As this paper remarked recently, there is going to be more money in cir culation presently in these alliance states. Wall street is going to shell out. But a turn about is fair play. Our money has been going into Wall street for lo! these many years. Now a little of it will como back to buy our votes. Let it come. Men do not always get what they buy. "A complete list of the voters of the state will be attempted. Those who are known to be positive in their con victions will bo designated and also , those who will be subject to influence." This is a good start for the republicans of Kansas. "A Herculean task" "Ex pensive" "Those who will be subject to influence." Do the pcoplo need any further announcement to know what to expect? Tho wayfaring" man, though a fool, may read the language of this announcement. Will the voters of Kansas be bought with a price? Not many. The inde pendents are not rich, but they are honest. They need mony, but they do not want it in exchange for their manhood and honor. These desperate and degenerate political leaders have thrust their sword through their own party. Thousands of men who had not before been convinced of the rotten ness of the organization will now see that is bsyond all hopes of redemp tion and purification, and is unworthy of their support. The people's party will parry Kansas. A DISPUTED PABAGRAPH. For nearly twenty years tho charge las been repeated mai rrnesi oeya vi England brought one hundred thousand pounds sterling (00,000) to this country to bribo tbe American congress into demonetizing silver. In proof of this, a paragraph has been quoted from the Bankers' Magazine of August, 1873: In 1873, silver being demonetized in Germany, England, and Holland, a cai)- ital of 100,000 ($.")O),000) was raised, and Ernest Seyd of London was sent to this country with this fund as the agent of bondholders to effect tho same object. And now at this lato day up rises tho New York Evening Post to explode this "monstrous falsehood." It asserts that there is no such paragraph in the bankers' magazine of that dato, and calls upon Congressman Bland to re- regarding this tract his statement paragraph. It is now in order for some advocate of tho people's movement to investigate and prove the genuineness of the paragraph in question. Wo nave no jubt of its genuineness. It it were a forgery, it could not have circulated fo long witkout being questioned. But in this contest wo can well afford to "prove all things." Harrison's outing which the papers aro now commenting upon is not a cir cumstanpe to the outing which he wilji be permitted to take after he Fourth of next Marph. His time wll Vhrt nil Vi t et r ti w Tins, is the way that matters aro moving: The independents hold a rallv out in some town like Wahoo or Ulysses and have a rou-iog big time, largo attendance, earnest, eloquent speeches, much enthusiasm, and a gen eral good time. Next morning tl State Journal receives a letter or telegram from one of its hired men, stating that half a dozen independents, fifteen democrats and twenty five re publicans hung around awhile unti they got tired of the calamity howling and went away; leaving no body to listen but a few women and children That sounds well to the republican reader in Li:cDln, but what effect dcs it have when a few copies get out into the neighborhood where the speaking occurred? When people see such bare laced lies they simply lose all laith in the paper and will ref uso to believe any ol its reports. The Journal is doing a good work for the independents. We hope it will keep up its telesrrams and correspondence from over the state. the report or a populist rally at Greely, Colo., states that the proces sion of wagons was a mile long, and that over 3,000 psoplo joined in tho parade. And so the now movement "petering out." Another Special Offer i i I i i l I I i l i M l i I i i I i i i i i i ii i ii i i i ii i i i i REFORM BOOKS FREE. I, Bond-Holders and Bead-Winners. By S. S.

The lay member who has allowed himself to be interviewed has been accused by a preacher of falsifying and it is report ed that the Chancellor will not submit to a trial before the elder of this dis trict, nor before a committeo of elders appointed by him, and that if the bish op refuses to pro v id) an unbiased committee, the Chancellor will appeal to the supremo court for an order to stop further proceedings. Whether this refers to a supreme court of the churph or tho supremo court of tho state, or of tho United States, is a matleii about which the people are still uninforVed. ."
