FROM KANSAS.


SPRING HILL, KAN, Feb. IL, 1879.
Ed. SPIRIT: Since resumption times
are fourishing, as the people have been
blessed with bountiful harvests and
goods and groceries are cheeper than
ever known, and We fail to realize the
terrible financial oppression so much
spoken Of. These are some of the ex-
pressions l frequently bear Republican
friends make in reference to the political
issues OF the day.. Now. Mr. Editor,
am unaccustomed to 6abbling in politics.
bat permit me to say, right here, that /
firmly believe that such ideas as the
above are not entertained by the masses
The contraction of our national currency
together with specie resumption has
swept nearly all the money out of the
country. and, in addition to this, the
Government has demonetized what little
silver there is by refusing to put 1t in cir.
culation.. agree with them that our
country has blossomed with golden har
vests for the last three years and the
countryiis flooded with all the sagricul.
tural productions we could wish for, but
there is no demand lit Our leading
markets have been so paralized on ac-
count Of. the scarcity of circulating
medium that our productions fail to com.
pensate US for our labor. Ifgeyerybody
was out of debt tie state of affairs would
assume a different aspect. i do not think
l will 60 beyond the bounds OF reason,
or veracity, when / say that three, e,fourths
Of the wealth of Miami county is wrap
ped up in Mortgages. 1t is true, those
who are out of debt and are holding
some profitable Office do not feel the op-
preston 80 forcibly, But this class are
like Angels visits few and far between,
Instead Of land of liberty and free,
dom, our county has became q political
TYRANNY with subjects weighed down by
unreasonable burdens o. taxation. This
terrible state of things cannot possibly
be attributed to other tan the RepubIi
can party during the last 20 years
have not political prejudice enough about
me to assert firmly that a Democratic pre-
dominance in, hoth Houses OF Congress
and the White House, would arrest this
misrule and enliven trade and the gener
al interest Of the people. But ! have
boldneas enough to say with candor tha
it does not matter what change is effect
ed, we need not fear that times will grow
barber than at present If the old Dem
ocratic party that has stood as, firm a,
the rock of Gibralter since the days oi
Jeffe.scn, once gets in power, It will un
doubtedly erect once more the banner O
economy. That is what the people wan
ana intend to have, through the success
of the Democratic party. -.

Phosphate Food.

The Manufacturer has the following
plea for the special feeding Of the brain;
"Man is being perpetually renewed; the
old and used-up PARTICLES are removed
from the system, and their place is
supplied with the same element newly
presented to the organism. Motion
destroys portion Of the integrity Of
muscle, sight something from the
retina Of the eye, and Thoughts which
breathe and words which burn literally
burn and change into another chemical
formula a certain portion Of the phos-
phorous Of the brain. Hence arises the
necessity Of supplying the system with
an element on which the mental functions
depend more than any other organic
ingredient. Experience shows that
highly phosphate and easily digested
food, such as soft-boiled eggs, the flesh
Of fowls, oysters and kale food, (phos-
phorized more than others and vege-
tables) is especially suitable to persons
whose minds are overtaxed by intellectual
duties, and in purely nervous affections
it is recommended by physicians who
understand their business. Very recon:
mendable for this purpose is the liquid
acid phosphate, because it contains the
phosphorous in condition in which it
is most easily assimilaied. The idea Of
partaking the particular kind Of food or
beverages to nourish the nervous sys-
TEN is rapidly gaining ground, or theo-
retically accepted as correct. Said
physician lately to us, with whom we
conversed on this subject, what fool
was in my ignorance to laugh at the
idea OF brainal food Why, sir, it is
the most valuable one l ever put into
practice THANK your chemists for it"

HOW Senators Protect Themselves
The Widow Oliver is atype of a class

The Widow Oliver is atype OF a class
of women who como to Washington to
bleed public men. They are in tho dc.
partments; they are seeking pos tlons,
they have claims themselves, or else Ihcy
have friends who have claims. So nu-
merous are they, nnd so crafty, that pub
lie men who have money mako il Q rule
never to receive woman alone il their
parlors or Offices, but always have awlt'
ness in the room. Senator Chandler IS
particularly coraful; so is General But.
lor Senator Chandler viii never allow
woman to whisper 20 him, and women
applicants for Office always want to
whisper. lie will say; Speak out,
speak out, madam, 80 my secretary can
hear. We have no secrets here.
1t was at Senator Chambers house
the other day, that the servant brought
card to him. "What does tho lady
want p he asked of the servant. "See
what she wants"
The servant returned with the CON-
mon message, "She wants to see you per-
sonally, sir She says it is very import
ant"
''Does she want an appointment 7"
The servant went to inquire, and soon
returned with an affirmative answer,
adding that the lady said she had lost
her position.
''l'ell her to meet me in the Senate re-
ception room tomorrow at | o'clock"
said the Senator, "and say that she need
not call here again, as do not receive
lady visitors" and turning to me, added:
81 won't talk to woman except in the
presence Of half dozen competent wit
nesses. It's getting to be dangerous
business"
Senator Jones is equally careful. as he
has frequently been made the target Of
blackmailera He says to his servant
when woman applicant for office calls
to solicit his influence: "Tell her to
wait till half dozen more come, and I'll
seethem altogether. Washington Cor
