DruGvC SENTIMENE.

At this writing it looks as though the
Convention would not nominate Cover
nor without struggle. Yesterdays dis
patches show that both parties are firm in
their determination to fight it out to the
better end. But whatever the result may
be, whatever combinations may he
made, the fact remains that the
people OF Kansas, the public sen.
timent OF the State, is opposed TO the
nomination Of Geo. T. This convention is
supposed to represent the opinions and tx,
press the will oil the majority of voters and
if it does not do this, something must be
wrong. We trust the delegates will 30 their
duty, and select a man Sho will poll The
full party vote.

How to Make Com m union Wine.


EDITOR TIMEs:-As there is no paper es-
pecially devoted to religious matters here,
have TO ask Of You the favor of inserting
in THE ZINES recipe for making connun-
ION Uine. As the grape crop is now in a
condition OF maturity for the manufacture
of this kind of wine, and as the time for
making will soon be over for the present
year, furnish the following method for
making it: Take ripe grapes picked from
the cluster and well mashed, put them into
a thin sack and press out the juice in any
way most convenient; put the impressed juice
into brass kettle (such as used for making
preserves,) bring ii to the boiling point,
skim off the scum that rises to the surface,
then strain through a linen sack. put into
strong glas. bottles of the size suited for the
purposes intended, cork and seal air-tight
at once, as in canning fruit. To prevent
the bottles from cracking, it is we'll to set
them, while filling with the hot liquid, on
cold, wet towel, and envelop the body of
the bottle with the same, to condense the
steam.
Thu. made, your wine will keep sweet
Just as long as the air is kept out, if for
twenty years. The principle is just the
same as canning fruit. The heating pro-
cess you expel the atmospheric air, and
sealing alright, prevents the air from en-
tering it again, which would cause the
juice TO ferment. and thus render it intoxi-
eating, a condition of things, which is di-
rectly at war with this religious service
Any person who knows how to can fruit
successfully can make and preserve this
wine pure for s4cramental purposes.
Besides It's religious use when wanted for
the sick room, or for social parties, with
lemon juice and sugar, added to suit the
taste or occasion,l there is nothing more
greatful or refreshing. To the invalid or
convalesent, it is both food and medicine
far in advance OF anything the doctor book
can prepare.

WOMEN ADVENTURERS,
How They ..Get Away, With Men
by the Aid Of Attorneys.
IGraphic1

Women adventures. aided by unscrupu-
lous attorneys, too often are permitted eth
er TO extort blackmail from men who have
been weak or wicked enough to have some
thing to do with them, or TO crafty their
spleen and revenge by making public the
name OF their intended victim, often to a
great disgrace, loss of character and the
sorrow OF his family. The class of attor-
neys who take charge of these cases are al
ways glad OF an opportunity to advertise
themselves gratuitously in the newspapers,
and 1t not unfrequently happens, as it hap
pened in case reported ON Sunday last,
that they do not wait for any legal proceed
ingts to be taken, but inform the reporters
OF the complaints that have been made and
the steps that are TO be taken.
Any case with woman in il" has
an attraction for reporter and a
cit V editor, and the story "a pab-
referred TO this was done although no ap-
plicatiOn was made to judge for a writ
and when the application was made it was
refused on the ground that no ofiense had
been committed and that the whole thing
appeared TO be fraud. But if the object
OF the woman was revenge, she has obtain
ed III, lOr the name OF her victim mas Dttn
disgraced and the object OF her lawyers
has also been attained, since no doubt,
they have received fee and have also had
the benefit of two Of three gratuitous ad-
vertisements in all the newspapers. Many
a man will submit to pay blackmail, even
if wholly innocent, rather have his name
publicly coupled with that of an adver-
turess. The duty Of every one in such
case is to boldly refuse and to put the law
in motion against his assaIlant. The pen
alties Tor attempting to extort blackmail
are heavy, and the courts are always will
ing to inhict them. Ii the next adventur-
ess were promptly and severely punished
in this way, the rest OF the sisterhood might
be little more careful in their operations.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Convention meets
in this city next Wednesday. There will
he over three hundred delegates in atten-
dance, and a large crowd of visitors. The
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
has agreed to transport delegates and al
ternate. to and from this city on that day
free Of charge, which will insure a full
representation from that road. We hope
that our citizens will take lively interest
in the matter of entertaining our guests on
that day. 1t is to be Democratic gather
ing, but the coming Of SO many strangers
to the metropolis Of the State is matter Of
importance to every citizen Of Leaven-
worth. The finance committee, Hon. +. q.
Lowe, chairman, are at work, and hope to
raise sufficient funds 10 few DAYS 10 de-
fray all necessary expenses.

Virginia City, New, Enterprise.


The Waterman at the Consolidated Vir-
ginia pan mill for some evenings observed
a m,n scale the fence and take up his po-
sition on the bank of large pond situated
Just below the mill. He at first watched
the fellow pretty closely, but "a he always
went quietly away in the course of an hour
or two he at least concluded he meant no
harm. Finally his curiosity was 20 much
excited that he went to where the man was
sitting and squarely asked him what
brought him there. "Waal, said the man,
II don't mind to tell you. You see come
here bout two months ago from the East,

Waterman; "where did you come from ~

THE OTHER NAY.

When clerk, or confidential agent alb
seconds with the funds Of his employer, the
sympathy of the public is generally with
the employer, but in the case of the de-
faulting clerk of the Pullman Car Com
pany, the case is reversed. The company
has always been such greedy and remorse-
less monopoly that all those who have been
victims to its greed-and they Include
almost the entire population OF the United
States-are in sympathy with the default
ing clerk, and praying for his escape. The
St. Louis Globe-Democrdt says: "The lack
of sympathy for the Pullman Car Com
pauy is notable, and we'll deserved.

THE LAST CHANCE.

This is the last week of the bankrupt
law,-the act repeating it goes into effect
the first of September. The most Of those
in any wise "shaky" have already taken
advantage Of the law and gone into bank
ruptcy, when it is fair to presume that
there will be q worthier term in the COM
mercial world for some time to come. The
Chicago Times Of Tuesday says:
The doors OF the national bankruptcy mill
will close for new grists with the present
week. Knowing this, the people who have
contrived to accumulate large debts and
''nominul" assets are disposed to make the
best Of the days OF grace remaining. There
were eighteen applications for the registers

will, Of course, increase in intensity till the
''last syllable" OF the allotted time,

IL is estimated that Chicago wi contribute

A movement should be made at once to
secure competent and reliable nurses to
answer the piteOus call from the suffering
cities of the South. The burden of every
dispatch is, send us nurses. There are
persons o. both sexes in the city who are
willing to volunteer in answer to this
arduous and dangerous call, and the large
sums being raised in the city could not be
better appropriated than for this purpose.
1; is a heroic duty, and whoever answers
to the call is hero and heroine, whose
names will be treasured in grateful memo
ries. The soldier going to the battle field,
where the death shots hurtle thick and
first, is not drawer than he or she who
steps to the front now. Those who are
strong, capable, honest and earnest are
wanted and wanted badly. Let the serv-
ices of such be accepted as fast as offered
and let them be sent forward promptly.
Ii would be well for the mayor or the
board Of health to see to this matter imme-
diately

REMUNERATION.

The Republican party begins to recognize
its duty In regard to the finances its re-
sponsibiilities are very great, and there was
some reason at one time to fear IN At u might
not meet them with the requisite courage
and honor Faithful among the faithless,
clinging TO the Truth where nearly all the
hard money Democratic leaders stagger and
fall, the Republican party is the only hope
those who wish 10 preserve the public faith
and 10 restore the Nation, prosperity. To
that party fails the difficult and responsible
task of educ,tinS public opinion on ques-
tons of currency and finance, and that task
il mus; perform, moreover. even while hold
ing the breach against those who assault the
citadel OF public credit. That there has been
some hesitation is not strange. But Butler
has gone without bre king the Republican
ranks A Kelly ceases TO command the con-
ndence OF Republicans, even where he was
SO long o favorite, as soon as he wins the
favor of regulators. A Phillips is invited
10 stay at home by the Republicans OF Kan
sas, in order the next Secretary of a Concres
sional "Greenback" caucus may be a Demo.
crat.-Neso York Tribune
We cannot speak for the constituents Of
Mr.. Butler and Mr.. Kelley, hut so far as
thosS Va -hi. uiiiik's are CONCERNED the
above remarks from the Tribune do them
gross injustice The Tribune, 10 its article
from which We quote above, endeavors to
give its readers the impression that Mr..
Phillips was defeated for a renomin .tion
because he was a greenback ran, while
nothing could be further from the truth
than this. The gentleman nominated az
his successor is stsuuch Greenback man,
the convention that nnminsted him was en-
Enthusiastically in favor of The Groeaback
principle, and adopted ringing Green
back platform unanimously, while the
people Of the whole District-in-
Guiding all parties-are practically
unit in favor Of radical greenbaek meas
ures. In view of all these plain facts in
the case, the article of the T,ibune from
which We quote above Is a palpable at
tempt to pervert the truth.
1t is very unfortunate for the greenback
cause that any of Its prominent men should
be set aside at such an important times as
this on account of minor issues, for natur.

HOW uH. PHILLIPS - REGARD

We copy in another place an article from
the New York Tribune on the defeat Of Mr..
Phillips in this district. The extract re-
ferred to shows one thing, If nothing more,
that Mr.. Phillips is recognized as one OF
the leaders of the Greenback cause in Con-
gre--. The Trtj me chuckles over his de-
feat, and places him in the class with Der.
Butler aud Vim. ID. Kelley, two OF the
ablest men in the country, ard EXPRESSES
the belief that his defeat will make Dem
ocrat, Secretary Of the Congressional Green
back Caucus. Mr. Phillips need not feel
bad when the Tribune abuses him on &C
count oil his financial views. Kansas in
dorses him.

BALANCE or TRADE.

According to the figures just published
by the Government Bereau OF Statistics, at
Washington, it appears that the balance OF
trade in favor of this country has increased
during the last fiical year to over $4,000,
OOO. Additional information is also given
as to the articles of export by items, show
ing how and by what sort of merchandise
this balance was obtained. The greatest
increase in experts is found in bEeadstutis,
meats and lumber. There has been re-
markable decrease in imports of wine,
spirits and malt liquors, cotton, silk, linen
and wooden goods, while the only marked
increase in imports has been in haber-
dashery, carpets and worsted goods. Com
paratively little iron or other metals were
imported last year.

Prudent Precautions TO Prevent Pes
thence
Augusta, Ca. Chronicle, !:

Augusta, uas OuIOnlcie, - !
The city is rapidly getting into an admira
bic condition, and we have every reason TO
believe that the remarkable health now ex-
isting will continue uninterruptedly. AL
ready the atmosphere is much pleasanter,
and every indication points to entire free
dom from malarial or othdr diseases.
While the authorities Sre thus using every
precaution, and the city Itself is so exempt
from sickness, the people at large should
not be idle. They can, on their own prem
ises and in their own households, make
security doubly sure. They can keep every
thing about them scrupuously neat, and in
this way not only add to the common veal,
but absolutely bid defiance to pestilerce
Above all let there be no panic. Many ner-
yous persons bring the very trouble they
fear upon themselves by sense
less and morbid apprehension kept
up from hour to hour, and
stimulated by incessant gable. The i'm
agina,ion is powerful superiDducer Of
calamity, and an imagination wrought up
on BY bsseless trepidation is the precursor
of insanity and sometimes Of death. Indi
viduals have been salivated by bread pills
thinking them calomel, and persons have
died from supposed exhaustion by bleeding
wheL not drop of blood has been taken
from them. 1t is notorious fact that the
victims of yellow fever are almost always
those who have been panic-struck by its
presence or by its distant appariiion-

H Concluded Tiers WAS no Room
for Him There.
Burlington HaWkeye,


A belated and rather poverty-stricken
foot traveller, whose railway ticket was
good on all country roads and cattle paths,
stopped at a small mansion of apparently
four rooms and kitchen, in the South Hill
suburbs, The other evening, to beg a nights
lodging. As he timidly stood knocking at
the half-opened door. he heard the shrill
commanding tones Of the lady of the house
disposing the garrison for the night: 'Tom
my, go hunt up Charley and Ben and tell
them to go to the grocery and tell your
father to bring Ella and Willie right home,
it's their bedtime, and if they see Louise
on the way send her to Miss Crozier's for
Alice and Jim, and see if they know where
Ezra is; you take this lamp up TO grand
mas room and ask her il she won't take
care Of baby while l am gone you undrsss
Mabel and put her to bed, and if cousin
Harry comes while am gone tell him he's
to sleep with YOU" And the traveller sigh
ed and turned away so oppressed with a
feeling of overcrowdedness that he walked
ont in the country and slept all night in
the middle Of prairie nine miles long.

Heavy Freight Charges From the
West e0 New York.

AuDiher raise in rates OF 5 cents per hum
bred on fourth class freights, including
grain -four and pork, will go into effect on
the first of September. This makes an ad-
vance Of Is cents per hundred on this class
within a month. When the new schedule
GOES into force it will cost "A cents a bush
el TO ship wheat to New York from St.
Louis. When the freight war was raging
few months ago the charge for this haul
was but9 cents. The increase is notable
The rate is raised in the same proportion
from Chicago, but it will have less inju-
rious effect en- the grain market there, be-
cause the lake and canal route is carrying
grain for less than half the railroad charge.

40 Rom.uce nm Modern Piracy.

Modern piracy has no picturesque or re-
mantle features. The modern pirates of
the San Domingo coast attack a stranded
ship and carry off barrels of pork and
beef This is the one case of piracy repor-
ted for the year Not many years ago
there were pirate fleets threatening trading
vessels in every direction, and fights in
which heavy treasure changed hands were
of frequent occurrence. In this particular
the world moves and civilization has made
its mark.
