Old Kentucky has a song that is sung by
by every one,
And Florida her "Old Folks at Home"
MARYLAND, my Maryland" rouses quick
her patriot son;
"Annie Laurie" is the Scotchman's
sweetest song:
''The watch on the Rhine" stirs the Ger
mans soul afame,
Sing 'Wearing of the green" pat
sheds tear,
But the song that cheers my heart is the
song now shall name
Nv Kansas Prairie Home, love SO dear.
Chorus
Sing, sing, sing, the chorus loudly ring,
Sing, every one with brightest hope and
cheer,
The song that cheers my heart, is the song
now shall sing,
My Kansas Prairie Home l love so dear
The sunfowers cluster near my old "sod
shanty" door,
The gallant cowboys "bronco" speeds
the plain,
At evening when the waning sun paints
gold the western shore,
"Jack-rabblts' take possession of my
claim!
Harkl bark! 1 hear the COYOTES. as they
howl down the branch,
See. the antelope-the famous western
deer,
Behold the herds of cattle, as they Craze
along the ranch"
In my Kansas prairie home l love SO
dear.
Chorus-Sing. sing, sing, etc.
New York has sparkling Hudson, old Fir-
ginia classic James,
Michigan her straits of Mackinaw,
But coursing boundless meadows. as boast
full as the Thames,
Meanders Kansas river, called the "kaw;'
No other place beneath the skies, is blest
with such moonlight,
So many stars that twinkle bright and
clear;
In the hottest days Of summer, there's a
gentle breeze at night,
In my Kansas prairie home 1 love SO

THE MAINE ELECTION.

What adds to the magnitude and sig
nIficance of the Maine election Is the
fact that after all Mr.. Putnam's popu-
larity did draw away some Republican
votes. The New York Sun, a Demo
cratic authority, learns that even the
venerable Hannibal Hamlin voted for
Putnam, and that ''while quite num-
Der of Republicans voted outright for
Putnam. there We're others who voted
indirectly for him by cutting Burleigh's
name from the ticket In spite OF all
this the Republican plurality is almost
$4,000 and the gain upon 1886 over 5000.
The Democrats voted the Republican
ticket. That's the only explanation.

Three Prayers.

At the hour Of morning prayer three
partisans went up into their respective
club headquarters to pray. The Demo
crat prayed thus: ''Oh. Lord, thou
knowest that we donot often bother thee
with our prayers. let there be few
things wherein thou canst be Of great
use to use. Bless Cleveland, Oh Lord,
hut curse his civil service. Bless the
Prohibitionist in the north and damn
him in the south. Bless Minnesota and
the little Norwegian, Mute Nelson, but
curse Pennsylvania and that traitor,
Sam Randall"
The Prohibitionist fell on his knees, as
usual, and prayed: 30. Lord, thou
knowest we nave done little else but
prav. 10, these many years. Now we are
going to fight, and do thou, o, Lord. be
pleased to stand by and see fair play
while we show the Pharisees and
Saducees that there is a God in Israel.
The Republican, with becoming rever-
ence. vet boldly, approached the throne
of grace and breathed forth his petition.
saving: Lord, thou art all-wise as thou
art plenteous in mercy. Regard US, L
beseech thee. with favor, as thou hast in
times past, and grant that the chastl5e-
ment OF thy hand that was LAID upon Us
four wears ago in permitting our enc
mics. the wicked Democrats, to triumph
over US. NAV have sufficed to bring thy
erring children back to the paths Of rec
tit1IGe and virtue from which they de-
parted. which forgetfulness OF thy good
ness brought upon us thy Christening
rod. and restore us 10 thy favor
and our lost estate. ayes the rule and
government of the land. Nevertheless,
if thou canst not grant this last request,
| Oh Lord, be pleased TO grant a stay Of
special favor TO the enemy, one and all,
and we will clean EN- up, world with

OUT OF STYLE.

A Doniphan county soldier did a
shrewd thing few days ago. He had
orders to appear at St. Joseph for an
examination for an increase OF pension.
II found Cleveland hat that had been
thrown aside, the owner having grown
tired of it. He put on this hat and wore
1t TO St. Joseph. Contrary to the expe-
rience of old soldiers who visit the Office,
he received marked attention, passed q
very satisfactory examination in a very
short time, and received the compliment
airy remark of the examining surgeon,
that that was the right sort of hat to
wear. But in coming away his luck
almost changed He encountered q
crowd of Irishmen working on the
street who began badgering and berating
him because of the hat. They told him
that it was out of style: that they had
that kind four years ago, but this year

Resolutions Adopted by Colbert County,
Alabama, Alliance.

NesOIut10ns Adopted by Colbert County,
Alabama, Alliance.
Whereas, 1t has become the pre-
vailing practice of dealers in all ag-
ricultural productions, to form com-
binations to regulate the prices to
their own liking, at which such pro-
ductions are bought and sold, insur-
ing to themselves immense profit to
the great detrlment Of the producer
and consumer; and
Whereas, The manufactures, in
almost every branch of industry,
have organized themselves into trust
companies, to curtail their produc-
tions, establish uniform prices and
regulate their supply Of same to the
market, that their income and profits
may be enhanced, to the great inju-
ry of the consumer. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we urgently rec
ommend all producers, of cotton,
aud especially all the members Of the
Farmers Alliance and Of the Agri-
cultural Wheel throughout the cot
ton states, to organize and resolutely
combine for the purpose Of limiting
production of cotton and devote more
time to diversified crops.
Resolved that we earnestly solicit
the Farmers Alliance and the Agri-
cultural Wheel throughout the cot
ton states, to organize and put into
execution plan for the purpose OF
limiting the amount Of cotton to be
thrown upon the market during each
month Of the cotton season, and the
proper organization be effected in
the appointment of executive com
mittees, state and national, who
shall together regulate the amount
to oe thrown uposI the market by
each state In an equitable proportion
and the price of same according to
grade.
Resolved, That II there should be
asurplus Of cotton after the supply
of the market for the season at fair
and reasonably renumerative price,
such surplus shall be carried over to
the farmers, and form a part of the
succeeding crop, which crop we rec
ommend should be limited, so thai
with such surplus there may not br
more than will supply the probable
demand of the succeeding season, at
prices just and reasonable.
Resolved, That we condemn the
effort that is being made to form a
third political party of the Farmers
Alliance and Agricultural Wheel ,
together with other labor organiza-
tions, aud we urge The members OF
the same to discountenance all such
moves of political aspifants, because
they are subversive OF our aims and
interest; and that we, the members
of said organizations. adhere strictly
to our constitutions and declarations
of Durposes.
