accomplish the object of softening
the parts adjacent to the actual

the Federal and State Govern

Gently heldin Topeka, Kansas, and

Topeka, March 27.-The State
Farmers Convention met here yes
terday with about two hundred DEL
egates present from all parts of the
State. A permanent organization
was effected with Jno. Dennis as
President, and several addresses
made and plans discussed for pla-
cling farmers on the same footing
with other classes of citizens. To-
day resolutions were adopted in
favor of organizing the producing
classes and recommending farmers
all over the country to become
members Of some local farmers
club.
twas also resolved that the tax,
eS charged on the PEOPLE by the Ma
tional, State and local govern
ments are oppressive and unjust,
and far beyond the needs If an
economical administration of gov
ernmental affairs; that the tariff
laws of the United States should
be so amended that salt and lum-
Der be placed on the free list;
that railroad freights and fares
should be limited by law to just
and fair sum; that the practice of
voting municipal bonds is PERM
cious in its effect and calculated
to bring bankruptcy and ruin on
the people; that giving banks a
monopoly of the nations currency,
thereby compelling the people to
pay enormous rates of interest,
seven tenths of which is collected
from the farmers, is but little less
than legalized robbery
A preamble was adopted setting
forth the wants and needs of the
farming and industrial classes, and
pledging themselves in the accom-
plishment of their desires to ignore
all political influences or preju.
dices and to support only such men
for Office as are known to be true

JELLY.-There may be some
who do not know that elegant
jelly may be made fromthe par
ings and cores of apples, which
are usually thrown away. Boil
them in just water enough to
cover them, and when they are
soft, strain off the liquid and
make like any other jelly. The
prussic acid in the seeds impalts
u very agreeable flavor.
