TEACHERS FAILURE.

The Republicans gubernatorial cam
paign for Judge Thacber cannot be
called "A failure, when the result is to
land him in a 81 800 ofiice.-Emporla
Republican.
Judge Thacher was a candidate two
wears ago and was defeated by Prohi-
bitionists because they did not believe
he was true TO their cause. Were il
worth while now we could reproduce
the printed words and records which
led to his defeat lie is no sOunder
on that question now than he was two
wears ago, and nobody ever elected
him to TO the position of Prohibition
Dictator in this year of grace 1884 lie
has no right to deliver lecture on
laws and morals TO John a.
Martin. and ninety-niDe hun-
dredths of the Republican part, of
Kansas. St John and Thacher were
candidates for governor in 81: Si.J"hn
took the ultra ground and got The
nominations: Thachcr was the mild
candidate and was defeated. This
wear Thacher thought he would profit
by that experience, and SO he jumped
into st. Johns shoes and Out-heroded
Herod as talker and writer for pro
hibition. lie did things that din not
cost an, thing, except to pay for hall
rent, and for having his speeches
printed and circulated.
While this was going on an actual
| temperance fight arose in Atchison.
Martin, at the head of an influential
newspaper, gave his whole power and
strength TO the temperance side. THIS
was a real fight and il cost something.
| Ii cost John A. Martin thousands of
| dollars in subscribers and advertising,
money that he will never get back. II
has also subjected him t" the
most violent abuse from Re
publican and Democratic news
papers and men, kept up day after day
and week after week. But Martin has
not weakened: that is not his way. so
far as Martin and Thacher are con-
cerned the year 1861 is repeated in
1884. Thacher talked all right for 10y
atty, but Martin took muskct and
went into the field and fought -four
wears. The people of Kansas are nol
fools; THY know these facts perfectly
well.
Thacher is also railroad lawyer
and that has something to do with his
failure as candidate for governor
Now that he is out of the way, and
now that Martin will be nominated
unanimously il is not worth while "a
talk about these things. Thacher has
provoked these few words because he
| has the assurance to lecture man who
has sacrificed more money for prohi
bition than he has. Money costs some
thing in time of peace and blood is ex'
pensiye in time of war.-iiiawaths

BUFFERS BOOM.

The Hon. Il. Franklin Butler see
ing the utter impossibility of his being
nominated at Chicago and the hope
lessness of the election of any man
who might be, declined to let his name
go before the body and then a com
mitiecman on resolutions presented a
minority platform which for unadul-
teratcd bmcombc and demagogisnl
was never equalled in the history of
the country. Ii was neither fish, fowl
lar flesh but a iumblcd mass Of com
munism Bourbon democracy, anti
monopoly, greenbackism, labor re-
form, rotation out of office. and foo
balderdash throughout. Good bye

JUST THE THING.

The special edition of the Il. a. o.
Red Book. devoted 20 the history of
the Republican party and its antece-
dents, is an almost Indispensable pub
LEGATION TO those at all interested in
tue development Of the campaign of
the wear. Great care is manifested IN
the compilation of data, and
while everything is stated in the
most concise manner, the information
is SO clear and explicit as to be readily
comprehended. The chapter devoted
TO the origin of the party and its
national outcome from the dis
mcmbermeut of prior parties is
of exceeding interest. a L. also
the points showing party policy as ex-
pressed through congressional action.
The condensed proceedings of the
national conventions of the various
parties. from the earliest period of the
country's history to the present, is of
no ordinary value, and II is thing
never before attempted in such form
of publication Indeed, it would be
diff cult 10 tell of an the important in
formation gathered together and
shown so intelligcnt'y in the little
! book.
| Those who desire so Invaluable a
text book for handy reference. a. mat
tiers grow interesting, will not delay
| long IN enclosing a two-cent stamp
with their address TO &. IL. Lord. Bal
timore: this being the only requisite
to secure copy. In addition to the
data having direct bearing upon The
one party. there is a vast amount of in
formation given n regards both
parties. and with the Red Book at
hand DO one need be ri loss for an au-
thority to settle any qne>tiod rs To po-
litical history which may come up. In
common with all the Il. & .. publics-
tions, il is model of perfect typog.
raphy. the makeup End type used
generally being very far above the
average of political text books.

THAT FUNERAL.

Our intense Democratic neighbor
laid great stress upon the idea that the
cheers and hurrahs were faint and
forced upon the part of the Republic
cans when Blane's nomination was
received. We want TO call the attcn-
ton of our mossback brother to the
fact that Cleveland's nomination was
not received by the Democrats of
Wichita by so much as a squeak OF
the faintest character II fell with all
the oppressive gloom OF an invitation
to the funeral of some particular but
,niscrably unfortunate friend who had
cut his own throat, or shot his own
head of with a two-for-a-dollar pistol.

The Democratic larty has always
boosted of being the laboring mans
friend. The laboring mems organiza-
tions all over the country asked the
Democracy To nominate Butler, and
they passed him and spit upon him,

been the friend of the laboring man,

BLAINE WAS RIGHT.

A Democlatis house of representa-
tives. in response to a demand that
could no longer be ignored, passed the
senate bill providing for authority to
ascertain, through a commission to be
appointed by the president, what is
necessary to control the great trade
interests of South America, trade
controlled almost solely in the inter-
ests IF the British government,
and which for volume is almost im-
measurable in figures. This trade
naturally belongs to this county, and
its Importance TO our manufacturing
interests, if secured, could hardly be
estimated. One of the very first acts
of Blaine after he had been made see
retarv Of state under Garfield was the
announcement that the policy of the
administration would be, among other
things, the settling of and defending
the rights Of this country in the affairs
and trade of the South American
states, in contradistinction TO those
claimed b. Great Britain. This an
nouncement was followed by gIeat
hub bub upon the part of the Demo
cratic press which declared that
Blaine was going to get this country
into trouble with foreign powers.
Now, after waste of three years
precious time, Democratic house
acknowledges by their action
that Blaine was right
after all. The interests involved
arc too vast 10 be longer neglected, 20
they authorize "A committee TO go down
there to investigate and report.
Had Garfield lived James G.. Blaine
as his chief administrative officer
would checkmated England and secur.
ed the bulk of the trade of South
America inside of twelve months from
the time he announced the policy.

So long as the hair-bulbs are healthy
the hair can be made to grow; when
tlaey are destroyed or absorbed then
badness is irremediable, and it is use
less to attempt any course of treatment
to restore it. The skin of the scalp
like TINT of any other part OF the body,
must be kept clean in order to be
healthy. Once week is quite often
enough to wasiiit with tepid water and
CASTLE soap. After tho head has been
thorough " cleansed, the soap may be
thoroughly washed out with pure wa,
ter. Instead Of soap and water many
prefer the yolk Of an egg beaten up, in
q tumbler of warm water and rubbed
into the hair with the hands, then rinse
off with water. a few drops Of ans
monia in . basin Of water will clean
the scalp and hair and stimulate it's
growth. After the scalp: has. been
thoroughly cleansed it is unnecessary
to use oils or ponlatnm, as the natural
secretion Of the skin is sufficient. 81 .t M

painful letters; for all those innpas-

died out, and the SORROWS Of others,
when they were communicated to her
gave her "a luxurious sense of SYM
pathy, yet exemption. She was sorry
for them; but such catastrophes could
touch her no more; and often she had
pleasant letters, which afforded her
something to talk and think about, and

did not concern her-business which
could not hurt her if it failed, which
