Single copy 5 eentf A. G. Stacey left yesterday for a trip through Alabama and other southern atates for the Kansas City Journal. He will be absent several weeKs. Topeka Capital.

Till the clouds have rolled away. Henry Lomis Nelson, has written for Harper 's Weeklyva article entitled "Some New York Clubs." 'similar to the one on "The Clubs." which he contributed to the same periodical last January. His new article will appear in a four-page Supplement to the number which is to be published March 12, and will be illustrated from drawings by T. DeThulstrup, Charles Graham, and H. M.

Wilder. Speaking of the suggestion that Mr. legal 1b be asked to deliver a speech on agricultural and farm matters, an exchange enquires," What does Senator Ingalls know about farming?" We are not posted as to the extent of bis informaton, but when the Kansas Senator talks the fact usually crops out that he knows whereof he speaks; and what is quite as much to the point, the people stop to listen. We venture the opinion that if the 15,000 Kansas men who, it is claimed, have signed petitions asking Govern or Humphrey to call a special session of the legislature had known the amount of money involved they would have considered the matter more scrl ouely. The special session of 1886 coat the state something over $160,000 and the luxury would come considerably higher now.

We can't afford it. Botlon Herald: The Kansas im migration bureau is gathering names of eastern people by scores of thou sands and sending them circulars rilled with growing accounts of Kansas as a good Slate to coma to. The Kansas real estate people are trying to get low rates for the people to reach that State and presumably they also want the getting away rates made as high as possible. The competition of the newer States for eastern immigrants Is very sharp, but Kansas keeps well at the front and makes great gains, for it is a wonderfully fertile country. The Kansas City Globe sums up the Oklahoma African colonization scheme in the following nut shell; Of course no one could or would object if the negro went into the country upon the samn footing as any other citizen, took up bis claim, cultivated and improved it and fulfilled the conditions of the law and obtained his title to the laud.

That i a right the negro has in common with the other citizens of the republic But he has no more right to undertake to take up all the lands in that country and appropriate them to the use of members of the race than have the blacksmitht or carpenters of this country to do the name thing. The negro is a citizen, entitled to the same rights under the law as though his shin were not black, no more and no less. The third party prohibitionists convention recently held at Topeka ameng other brilliant achievements adopted the following resolution: Ninth We especially regard the appointment and hasty confirmation of Judge Brewer to the United States Supreme Court, notwithstanding bis decisions adverse to our State Prohibitory law and the earnest remonstrances of prohibitionists everywhere as proof conclusive that the first concern of the present administration to propitiate the liquor power, and pave the way for such a change in the personnel of that august body as may lead to a reversal of its decisions in regard to Prohibitory legislation. Notwithstanding the fact that Judge Brewer's long and honorable service on the Kansas bench had been characterized by such marked ability as to commend him for appointment to a Beat in the highest tribunal in the land, and that in all these years during which he has stood in the bright light of public life no flaw Is found in his record, these saintly reformers would have had his confirmation re fused because he at one time rendered a decision obnoxious to them. Of what statesmen is this party made up! Contradictory reports have been given the press in regard to the endorsement by the Oklahoma Central Committee of Hon.

J. V. Admire for Governor of the Territory. Mr. Admire was the only candi date who allowed his name to go be fore the convention and the vote on the question of bis indorsement was a tie, amounting to nothing, ft Is bet ter so.

As a rule the policy of ad ministration of filliug federal positions from residents temtory to which they are accredited is good; but the peculiar circumstances existing in Oklahoma warrant a deviation from the rnle. Tn addition to the rivalry ss to the location of the capital each town has its factional fight in which all prominent men must be more or less involved. The governor should be entirely disinterested and unpredudicel and be should be a man of such character and reputation as will lend honor to the position and command the respect and consideration of the people. The same reasons apply with especial force to judicial appointments. The courts will, as soon as establish be inundated with litigation growing out of the long reign of semi-anarchy, and the decisions of judges entirely beyond suspicion of predudlce will be more readily acquiesced in than those of any resident offioer, no matter bow high bis character.

The Hutchinson Newt a short lime ago sent out letters of Inquiry to the different Post Commanders of the State asking opinions as to the pension legislation pending in congress. Re plies were received from 216 posts oqv ering all sections of the State. Prac tically the replies are unanimous In favoring the passage ot the Ingalls- Cheadle bill; though a few prefer elm ply dependent pensions. The follow ing from the department headquarters is in line with opinions expressed by tha great majority of post command Headquarters Department of Kansas, G. A.

Office i ov Assistant Adjutant Habetha. Feb. 26 Editor Newt: The first policy ot the Department or Kansas, Grand Army of the Republic, as declared by the three last department encampments, i. e. at Winfleid in 1888.

at Emporia in 1889. and Salina In 1890, is unanimous ly in favor of service pensions, rnac is, that every honorably discharged soldier and sailor, who served at least sixty days in the Union army, should be placed on the pension rolls at eight dollars per month. To this policy, as department commander, I am committed, and shall do all in mypofer to hasten legislation to this end. The Inealls service pension bill has receiv ed the endorsement of this department and is the bill being pushed by the comrades of Kansas for passage. IRA JT.

tJOLLINS, Department Commander. IATinWSMOTBI. The Cherokee StriD boomers have set 12 o'clock noon of April 22nd, as the hour for a grand rush to take pos session of the land. Robert Lincoln denies the report that be will resign his ministry. Four hundred train men of the Chi cago and Northwestern are out on a strike.

They demand the discharge of an-unpopular yardmaster at umcago. Associate Justice Brewer was assigned to the sixth circuit in the allotment made in the Supreme Court on the 10th Inst. The Kansas Newspaper Union, Topeka, had a three thousand dollar fire last Tuesday. Sheets, the Liberty, murderer, was arraigned in court on the tenth and plead not guilty. The trial is set for to-morrow, the 15th.

Mr. Funston has Introduced a bill in the house providing for a more thorough system of suppressing and eiad-icating contagious diseases among cat tie and preventing the spread of pleuro-pneumonia and similar diseases. The bill vats wide discretionary powers in the secretary of agriculture to adopt such measures as be necessary to accomplish this end in giving him among other powers authority to purchase and slaughter affected beads.

TEE ALLIANCE PLATF0XM The committe appointed by the Farmers' Alliance and the Kansas State Grange to form some basis of union for the two organizations has formulated a platform. It demands that no new class of securities shall be substituted for government bonds as a basis for national bank notes; that no more national banks shall be chartered and all existing charters to expire with the present limit; that legal tender treasury notes be issued to replace retired bank notes to be regulated in amount upon a per capita basis as the population increases and always to be sufflcent to meet the demands of the business Interests of the country.

It demands the free and unlimited coinage of silver or the issue of legal tender silver certificates against the unlimited deposit or bunion. It demands national legislation to effectually prevent the dealing In futures in all agricultural and mechanical productions. It demands the prohibition of alien ownership of land, and that steps be taken to obtain all tbe lands owned by aliens and foreign syndicates; and that all lands held by nil roads not used and needed by them, be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. It atnrms the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none: and that all revenues national, state and county shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government, economically administered. It demands that the government shall control the means of communication and transportation to the extent of insuring then, operation in the interest of the people, with due regard to the rights of those owning and operating tbe same.

It demands the issue of fractional paper currency. It demands legislation which shall do way with usurious interest. It demands legislation which si.aU be Injurious to trusts and combines. It demands tbe adjustment of tbe salaries orotnciais on a basis to correspond with the wages paid other forms of labor. It demands the adoption of tbe Australian system of voting.

It demands that all text books for use in common schools shall be complied, printed and bound by the State, and furnished to the pupils at cost. It advocates free sugar, with bounty to home producers equal to the present tariff duties. It recommends to the two orders a hearty and earnest co-operation in business matters so far as the same may be deemed practical. so tou wait a raruo Will T.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM: ma hot? It is proposed that the government maintain a telegraph service In con nection with the postal service.

Of coiirre this plan is bitterly opposed by tbe Western Union, as It would inter fere seriously with the latter com pany's profits. Tbe proposition, however, is meeting with favor from some of the most sagacious statesmen in Washington. It is especially favored by Postmaster General Wannamaker, whose stood sense gets to the heart of the matter in the statement, "AH we want Is the authority, and a wire." Government telegraph service would be of great advantage to the whole people, saving them hundred or tbou Bands of dollars annually, and should be favored by all citizens, irrespective of party, because. 1st. As one of the reasons of trans mitting, ic should fall naturally under the same control as the mail service, and it neeca no straining or tbo gov-erment prerogative to include such services.

2nd. All means for tbe communication of thought should combine, the maximum of efficiency with the minium of cost. Our present telegraph service has neither of these qualities: and from the nature of the case, gov ernment management is tbe only one that can give these qualities. 3rd. A corporation which fixes Its rates so high as to earn net seven per cent, annually on four times tbe cort of its plant, does not and should not have the adherence of the people when a future continuance of its power is brought Into question.

A. S. Olin. Ottawa, Kansas, March 5, 1890. AV0IHXS "WAT OUT." Humboldt, Kansas, March 11th, 1890.

To the Register: As you warmly invite investigation, I wish to drop a few thoughts 1 would like to review the "Way Out," but have not time, or space this time. But the other mercinal idea of the "Far-mer'd Storage which has been discussed In the Register for some time, calls for some thought. It is not a new idea, as the papers seem to think, nor is it fraught with so much intricacy or difficulty as appears to be tbe public Idea. In all my intercourse and conversation on the financial depression among tbe farmers, have advocated tbe principle for twenty years. But there are questions which lay behind this storage matter, and must be settled before it can be made available.

It is a national question and until the great agricultural operators harmonize and rest on a few central states, no farmers or community of rarmers will ever be able to reacb tbe financial compensation for bis products to which he is, by every principle of justice entitled, xou may quarantine every bushel or grain aud potatoes and every pig aud every beef animal in Kansas, and it would not affect the general market more than a cup of water thrown into the Mississippi would effect the aggregate flood of the Gulf of Mexico Farmers are working at tbe wrong end of tbe string. Their efforts are to reduce the price what we have to many are bowling themselves hoarse ouer tbe robber tariff If this does not fall into the waste basket, I may arraign tbe old tyrant in the future for trial. But let us try to see where the trouble Is. It is an assertion, I believe as old as civilization, that 'In union there Is strength." It is a lamentable fact that the larmers are the only peo-p'e in the world in whom there is no union. A school district will meet and organize an F.

M. B. or a Far mers Alliance, or a Grange, and wbat does it amount to when done? There is no union of ideas, each will tena ciously adhere to his own idea. I sug gest this plan. Let every man lay aside his unreasonable ambitions to rule and boss, then each agricultural State form tbelr state organization, and these unite and form a national congress, composed of delegates from tbe state organization on a just priuci pie of representation.

Then let this national congress fix such prices on agricultural products as will be rea sonably renumerative to tne farmer and be just and fair to tbe consumer, and let no farmer sell aught below the National Grange prices, and if any farmer suffers, let the congress help him out until bis products will bear exchange, it looks to me like Mil would be a better way out. Yours truly, R. V. Reed. CONCERKINO 'DOG COLE.

Moran, Kan Mar. 3rd, 1890. Editor Iola Register: I see in your valuable issue of Feb. 7th that Clarence Norton treats very thoroughly and satisfactorily the blood lines of the horse Doc Cole, and in his description be says: "Doc Cole was a very beautiful horse, 16 hands high, glossy brown weight 1200 splendid feet, lejM, shoulders and bead," which is all cor rect, but be goes too far and says bis only fault was he had great speed for a quarter but could not bold it for a mile, now I beg space in your columns to state that Doc Cole could go two miles at top speed when iu condition for a drive of that kiod. Now I do uot accuse Mr.

Norton of making this mis-statement intentionally. I think it has been bear-say with him and I consider It my duty tn correct it, as tbis subject bas been written on before and the horse is not in this section and 1 once owned the horse. I think it fair in giving bim bis just dues. Doc Cole was never bandied or trained for speed, any more than the exercise he usually got. He was speeded some at two years old and showed a good clip for his age.

He bas been kept for breeding ever since. Uoc Cole left produce in tbis vicinity that certainly stamps him as a good representative of bis family and proves that he was a horse of great merit and Individual excellence. I write merely because this matter has appeared in tbe Reqistkr heretofore, and the farmers of this vicinity are interested. Yours most truly, J. W.

But sometimes when a good many of them get together and you hear them talk, it aeema aa thonsrh they forget that there were some left c.t home on account of disability or age tuac uaa seen some pretty toujrn time.

My mind runs back to Oct. 15. 1864. when a call was made for men to go to fie corners or Missouri to keen Price from making a raid in to Kansas. Thev did not ask a man how old be was or whether be was able-bodied.

So he was able to ride a horse and carry a gun were an tne requirements. D. R. Hovev had fast romnlfltad new flouring mill and he begged for a few mtn to run tbe mill, for the wants of tbe women and children that were left at home.
