FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20.
. Gen. Shbrman of “marching through
Georgia” fame is dead.
Dr. J. H. DeVotib, the venerable
Baptist preacher, diet! at Griffin on Tues
day last.
It is probable that Mr. Harrison and
Johnny Wanamaker will soon make the
south ft visit.
Johnstown is flooded again. The cit
izens of that unfortunate town had bet
ter wear life-preservers after this.
One more splendid new cruiser, the
Newark,-added to our navy of evolution
and gone into business regularly.
Eddie Chancy accidently shot and
killed Robert Butler at Blakely Monday.
The boys ages are 12 and 14 years re

“What the Grand Jury Did,” is the
heading of an article in Tuesday s 1 ele
graph. What the grand jury will do is
what is troubling the boys here just
about now.
Gov. Nortiien was invited to meet
Jay Gould at night, which accounts for
his refusal, even if he had given no other
reason. Mr. Gould is a bad man to
meet in the dark.
Virginia is now turning out some
youthful highwaymen. A 17-year-cld
grandson of S. H. Taylor, Mount Airy,
Va., accomplished the act, and now the
old man is $2,100 short.
A recent scriptural text published by
the New York Mail and Express was
this: “He that hearkeneth to reproof
getteth understanding.” Can it be that
the gallant colonel is “catching on” at
last?
In the spring raw sugars will be ad
mitted to the country free. Then, if
the great syndicate of refiners pi ease,
the people will get sugar a shade cheap
er than they do at present. But it will
depend on the refiners.
It is said that a New York composer
will dedicate a number of songs to
Mr. Benjamin Harrison. This event
coupled with the defeat of the force bill
will make life in the white house seem a
dreary blank for several weeks to come.
Nearly three-fourths of the states in
the union have passed laws restricting
in some way or other the sale of cigar
ettes. The hope may be indulged that
the time will come when the actual crim-
inality of smoking the abominable
things where innocent people are com
pelled to smell them will be recognized
and established by law.
A Boston newspaper published by col
ored men wants the president to appoint
a colored man secretary of the treasury.
Mr. Benjamin Harrison dismissed the
colored servants in the white house, and
we do not think he will invite a colored
man into Irs official family. The repub
lican party wants high offices for negroes
in democratic states and under demo-
cratic administrations. In its own
houst&oldsTf^pe^oso^ color go a
long way. ' _
Wb learn that the Jones county calf
case has been finally settled. This is
one of the most celebrated cases not
only in lowa, but in the country. The
case began twenty years ago. Ti e calves
were worth $45 at the time litigation
commenced. They grew to be aged cows
and steers and their bones long since
crumbled to dust, but that Jones county
calf lawsuit still went on. The . costs
have been between $15,409 and $20,000
and the plaintiff has at last got a verdict
for SI,OOO. It may be remarked that
the case has bankrupted everybody con
nected with it

The Man That Beat Ingalls.
In the language of a dispatch printed
in The New York Tribune under a To
peka date line of Jan. 28: “For the first
time in the history of the state a United
States senator has been chosen who
owes no allegiance to the republican
party, and who was elected without its
aid.” The vote was 101 for W. A. Pef
fer, 58 for John J. Ingalls and 5 scat
tering.
The new senator comes of “Pennsyl
vania Dutch” stock, having been born in
Cumberland county, Pa., Sept. 10,1831.
He attended the common schools as a
boy, and at the age ©f 15 became a
teacher. After four years of teaching
he went to California to hunt for gold.
He was more successful than the major
ity of the Argonauts, and in 1852 re
turned to Pennsylvania for a wife, and
settled on a farm near Crawfordsville,
Ind. Here he lost the money he had
made in California, and once more re
moved, this time to southwestern Mis
souri. When the war broke out Mr.
Peffer enlisted in the Eighty-third Illi
nois volunteers, and served until June
26, 1865.
After the war closed Mr. Peffer settled
at Clarksville, Tenn., andjhaving studied
law while in the army began its practice.
In 1870 he removed to Wilson county,
Kan., -where he took up a claim and tried
farming again. Two years later he
changed his residence to Fredonia, Kan.,
where he established the weekly 1* re
donia Journal. Moving again he set up
The Coffeyville Journal, and lived in
Coffeyville until 1880, serving meantime
one term in the state senate as a repub
lican.
In 1881 he removed to Topeka, and
took charge of The Kansas Farmer, of
which he afterward became the pro
prietor. When the alliance movement
began he went into it heartily, and his
paper was very influential in bringing
about the success ®f the people’s party
last November.
He has published a great many arti
cles and pamphlets that have had wide
circulation, discussing various economic
questions from the farmers’ poUt of
view, and his article in The Forum of
December, 1889, on “The•Farmers’ De
ensive Movement,” attraetd general at
ention.
When notified of his election Senator
Peffer responded to the call of the house
and expressed himself substantially as
follows:
I see before me the representatives of
Kansas commissioned to do the will of
he people. I am here as one of the peo
ple to say that we people have com
menced the building of a new and dis
tinct and independent political party, a
party which is based upon principles
broad and deep as humanity itself. Land
is the common heritage of man, labor is
the common lot of mortals, transporta
tion is the life or death of commercial
industry. Money is the oil which lubri
cates the machinery of civilization.
Upon these four fundamental ideas we
propose to build the grandest political
structure ever erected by mankind.
Upon these fundamental ideas we have
formulated a creed which is in accord
with his spirit, the needs, the demands
of the present time.
We are opposed to the government
issuing money to banking corporations;
we are opposed to the people’s money
getting to them freighted down with in
terest charges; we believe in the people
making their own money; we are op
posed to national banking institutions
for the reason that they aid combines
against the interest of the masses; we
1 believe in the government, which is sim
• ply the agent of the people, issuing their
[ 1 money directly to them without going
i around Robin Hood’s barn to find them;
we believe in equal and just taxation;
’ we are opposed to the taxing of one in-

dnstry for the support of another; we '
are opposed to high tariff dues upon any
article of common use, no matter what. I
We believe that free trade, absolute
in many articles, is ofttimes, the very ,
best form of protection. We believe in ,
raising revenue to defray the expenses
of the government, and after that in the
adjustment of duties. Let us get out of
the adjustment all the good that we can
for our own people, remembering that
we are Americans, not Englishmen nor
Germans nor of any other nation. We
believe in distributing the burdens of
taxation or the benefits of government
equally among the people as far as it is
possible to do so. In other words, we
believe in the people ruling in this
country.
-When I left the republican party I
left it for good. Like the man who was
seasick, “Do yon suppose I am doing this
for fun?” Some years ago I came to the
conclusion that it was desirable that the
connection between the grand old party
and myself should be broken, but there
was no compulsion used except on my
part. For years' I been a member of
that party, with all its grand memories,
and it was a hard struggle for me then,
and now I dislike to speak of it in
harsh terms of censure, but it seems .to
me that that party with whom I associ
ated so long has gradually departed from
its old principles of justice to all.
We feel here in Kansas that we must
' have a change. We cannot get relief
from congress. We ask for relief and
they laugh at us. In New York city the
resident and his secretary run over to
see what they can do, handling the peo
ple’s money in order to relieve the strin
gency there, while we in this state, in
night, beautiful, wonderful Kansas,
are famishing for money? We are op
posed and against prosperity there while
there is a stringency in every family here.
We need a new party for this. We ask
’or the free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver. Then comes the McKinley bill.
We ask for a reduction of tariff duties
instead of an increase, which that bill
has added to the taxes already heaped
high upon the people.
The great middle classes have no
thought of disappearing. They are now
asserting themselves. Next year (1892)
they will marshal a grand army of peo
ple and prepare to take possession of the
government, and by the close of the
Nineteenth century these United States
will be governed by the people that live
in them.
I started out to assist in this farmers’
movement, and thanks to the Master
first and the people of Kansas next we
have succeeded. Here is one of the
fruits of it.
Now, good friends, thanking you for
this distinguished mark of your confi
dence, wishing you all manner of pros
perity, promising here and now to con
secrate my life, if necessary, to the work
with which you have intructed me, I
will drink to your good health and re
tire.
Suiting the action to the word, the
new senator seized a goblet of water,
drank the contentsand gracefully stepped
down.
