I From the Topeka Capital. The Kansas delegates are returning from the Florida convention with great enthusiasm over the doings of that body and full of hope for the complete overthrow of Republicanism in Kansas.
The question which their constituency in the Alliance will ask is, what have you done? It is briefly answered. First, there was a great gathering of the southern Alliance with invited guests from the northern Alliances, the F. M. B. A.
and tbe Knights of Labor. There was an abundance If not a surfeit of brotherly love and loud applause by the south oi the Kansas men who had broken np the Republican party and barely failed of electing a State ticket in addition to their five Congressmen. There was a great southern rejoicing openly at the prospect the defeat of Senator Ingalls and secretly of the election of Gordon and Pugh. Then there was a platform. It unanimously condemned the Conger bill which protects lard made of Kansas hogs from the cheap and'false competition of the cottonseed oil of the South.
It unanimously condemned the bill now pending in Congress to force the South to be honest iu elections. It denounced protective tariffs and spoke ont free trade. demanded that the government build storehouses for agricultural products and loan money thereon in every connty wherein $500,000 of any such product had been raised and sold in the preceding year, which includes one Kansas county, the most of Kansas products being fed, not sold. It hedged on the farmers demand that the government buy np the railroads and simply urged their control by the government, thereby unwittingly endorsing the policy the Republican party as shown in the interstate commerce commission, which lacks bnt one addition to its powers to become all that was hoped from it. It demanded the audition of the national banks, a Republican invention which has given the country the best currency in the world and brought it near the people, distributing it all over the country.
The convention furthermore elected four national officers, two from the South and two from Kansas. Kansas made ouc demand only, that a third party be formed, but the South squelched that with nuanimlty. would have destroyed the very purposes of dragging politics into the order, and in place of disrupting the Republican party would havo broken the solid South. This, in brief, is the history of the Ocala convention. If Republican Alliance men In Kausas can find anything in to enthuse over, they are very easily satisfied.

W. Locke, 35-tf Chauute, Kan. WHERE WAS CLOVER? The platform adopted at Ocala, Flor ida, by the National convention of the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union, does not oontain one word In relation to soldiers or in regard to pensions for soldiers. B. H.
Clover, the Congressman-elect from this district, was one of the delegates from Kansas to that conven tion, and only as long ago as November 15tb he wrote Congressman Perkins, saying: "During the campaign just ended I found great complaint among the old soldiers and others that tho administration had not properly recognized soldiers." Where was Ben when the platform was adopted? Surely be did not forget his advice to Perkins so soon. Old soldiers who voted tbe People's ticket can begin to appreciate what they have gained by helping to bring about a change. Tbe Southern Alliance is governed and controlled by ex-rebels, and pensions to Union soldiers is not ouc of the things they advocate. Girard JVe. Hog Cholera No Ccre No Pay.

L. Martin. 48-8 About the Price of Corn. LFrora the Eureka (Greenwood-eo.) Republican! Occasionally the Republican assumes the responsibility of advising tbe farmers regarding the sale of their products. About the only product the farmer has to sell this year, is corn.
Early in the sea son it looked very much like com would be worth 75 cts. or a L00 a bushel be fore spring, but at present the outlook for these prices is different. At the beginning of the feeding season very lit tle was known of the Immense- quantity of old corn in the hands of speculators west of ns, bnt tbe activity of the dealers has revealed the fact that thousands and hundreds of thousands of bushels of old corn was belqg held by speculator both east and west of us. This corn is now on the market, and is being sold in this county, shelled and delivered, at 65 cents. The feeders are taking advantage pf this and are buying ail they will need.
Other consumers are doing the same. In view of this fact, it is fair to presume that corn is selling for more money- todav than it will command next spring. When grass comes the consumption of porn yll parcppally stqp, and ha who held his corn for a higher price will be compelled to either sell at a reduced price or hold it over, which in either case wlil Joje tjlrn Jp.op.py, Photos on silk at Loomis' will wash and not fade. 47tf Dollars and bens; or, How to Cat On.

3, Butin ft prescription drug gists, west side Rqnare, Fredonia. 7-tf December 12th, 1890, the Democrat, aged eight years and seven months. -We really hardly know how to ac count for this sudden exit of our late enntpmnnrarv and would-be rival and annihilator. Of course it had never been very strong, but still it had worried along, and managed to live, long after everyone could see that there -was no earthly use for it, and apparently no pleasue nor profit for any of its numerous and- constantly changing foster-fathers. It is told that a certain economical man once undertook to teach his mule to live without eating, and had just succeeded, when the fool "critter" lay down and died.
The death of this kicking publication recalls the incident referred to. And there has always been striking resemblance between a mule and the Democrat any way the latter having the advantage however, in the use of its hind legs. Perhaps it kicked itself to death. It has always had a mild form of colic, which would occasionally become violent and spasmodic especially abont the time the Citizen was awarded the county printing, or some friend of this paper was elected to office. But it usually came up with forced smile after each attack of intestinal contortions, until its last one, which seemed to strike in, and refused to be eased.
But whatever the cause, it is dead, and its end, though not entirely unlooked for, was yet a trifle sudden, and the last number did not announce that there would be Democrat next week" as is usually done by a dying Perhaps this way of turning np its toes was one of the many "new features in country journalism" which its last editor was "going to introduce." Speaking of its last editor, who has made several successive fizzles in this city as preacher, a "liberal" ex-preacher, a mongrel politician and a newspaper man reminds us that of all the many publishers the Democrat has had N. Powell, T. J. Hudson, H. L.
Crittenden, D. II. Abbott, and perhaps one or two others wa never heard that any of them failed to pay their printers' wages, except the very moral hypocrite who took charge of it less than a year aso and rode it to its death. So far as he is concerned the Citizen has no feel ing but that of coutompt, and that feeling is shared by probably 99 per cent, of all who. know, him and his record of fraud and dishonesty in this community.
The Democrat was doomed from the time he took charge of it. It was only a question of time and bow long his credit and gall would last. The cad would have come much sooner if it had not been for the Alliance candidates who expected to get offices at the last election in this county. Politically the paper had for months been nondescript neither fish, flesh nor fowl At the bead of one column was carried the line, "The Ouly Democratic Paper in Wllsou County," while it advocated hair-brained theories and called for the en actment of senseless, impracticable and unconstitutional laws that no Democrat of any pride, character or reputation would for a moment seriously entertain. The only thing in which it never wavered or grew its intense hatred and venom for the Citizen and its pub lisher.
Perhaps what little sustenance it did receive was contingent on its whooping Gil more np;" indeed, from what we learn of the personality and tastes of the fellows who have had to contribute" liberally in the past eight or nine months we think this is the case. We wonder if some of them do not think now that they have paid pretty dearly for their mouth-piece. Experience is a dear school, but according to an old saying there are some people who would waste time to attend any other institute of learning, and there are still others who would probably not profit by experience. So, the next time some tramp printer from Arkansas, or tramp preach er from Canada, strikes the town dead broke and asks for a "little assistance" in starting a journal that is to pulverize and paralyze the Citizen and "do Gil- more up," he will probably get the lift, and the backers will get the experience. Meanwhile the Citizen is here, doing business at the old stand, in the old way, standing by the grand old party and its principles all the time and publishing all the news fllty-two weeks in the year, and sending out as many copies every issue as it ever did.
If yon want the county news and all of it, now is a good time to begin with the new year, and you need not be afraid to pay in advance, either. Christmas" Eve. Five of Fredonia's Sunday schools formally received and welcomed Santa Claus Wednesday night, Christmas eve. At the Congregational, Christian, Cumberland Presbyterian and Methodist churches there were Christ mas trees, while the First Baptist Sab bath school indulged in the uoveity of a Jacob's ladder. At all the churches the attendance was liberal, the exercises ap propriate and the interest keen, while in each instance the scholars and children were delighted and the teachers and par ents truly pleased.
Very few if any children in Fredonia, regardless of con dition, failed to receive gratifying to ken of love or friendship on this latest anniversary of the Prince of Peace. Casper Meyer, an aged and long-time citizcu of Fredonia, died at his home in this city yesterday, llis dissolution was the resnlt of a sudden attack of hemor rhage of the lungs. Mr. Meyer had lived here since 1871. lie was born iu Ger many June 18, 1S1C, and was therefore in his seventy-fifth year.
During the re bellion he served for a lime in the Union army as a member of a Missouri regi ment, we are informed and he was pensioner. The funeral of the deceased will be held tomorrow at ten o'clock a. The elective officers of Chas. Butin Camp, No. 70, S.
