Where is Heaven.

ms singular question was put to
Sam Jones, the evangelist, by one of
his wealthy church members in Geor-
gia, whose cotton crop yielded him
some twenty thousand dollars a year.
''Where is heaven?' said the planter.
III tell you where heaven is" said
Mr.. Jones. If you go down to the
village and buy fifty dollars worth of
groceries, put them in a wagon and
take them to the poor widow on the
hillside, who has three children sick.
Take with you a nurse and some one
to cook their meals. When you get
there read the twenty-third psalm,
and kneel by her side and pray, then
you will find out where heaven isl
Next day, as the evangelist was walk
ing through the village, he met the
same wealthy planter, his face beam
ing with JOY He spoke after this
manner: Mr.. Jones I've found out
where heaven is. I went and did as
you directed me. We took up the
wagon load of groceries, and the wild
ow was completely overcome withjoy,
could not express her thankfullness
As I read the twenty-third psalm my
heart was filed with thankfuIlness to
God, and when I prayed the angels
came down and I thought I was near
er heaven than I had ever been be-
fore in my life. left the nurse and
the cook in her humble dwelling, and
promised she should never suffer as
long as I could help her"

Lille Smyth, of Brooklyn II. Y,
aged 20 years, after having spent her
strength IN combating poverty, from
the time she was old enough to know
what want was, wrote the following
note, and then swallowed a dose of
poison
''IO whom it may concern:
Il am tired Of poverty and have
tried hard to keep up my courage,
but it has failed at last. I am alone
IN the world, there is no one to love
me and 1 have nothing to live for. I

The meanest man on Gods green
earth lives in Topeka. A short time
ago a poor man in that city, who ekes
out a scanty living for himself and
family by driving a ten cent delivery
wagon, had the misfortune to lose his
wife by death. Not having money
enough with which to give her a
christian burial he went to a money
lender to borrow SIS. for fifteen days.
Yes, he could have it by giving him
So. interest and mortgage on his
pOney and wagon to secure it. Three
days after the poor man received
some money from friends and he
thought he would pay off his note.
The money lender said he could be
released if he would pay $1.5O for
the use Of the money the three days.
In comparison with this instance Shy
lock and his pound of flesh pales in
to insignificance. Yet this same
money lender belongs to and is an
active worker in one Of the most pop
ular churches in the city of Topeka.
How deplorable that such sharks, or
human hyenas are permitted to enter
the church and through it's protect
ing mantle be allowed to practice a
system of highway robbery that the
most contemplate thief in the world
would not be guilty of.-HortonR Reg

Atchison Globe: The latest gossip
in the Grant family is the bad man
agement of young Ulysses in squan-
dering 100000 of his mothers money
in the Cosmopolitan magazine. Like
the general run of great mems sons,
the Grant boys are worthless. They
started out Oh the threshold of their
manhood to make a living without
work. Fred was pensioned on the
government as an army officer, being
given undeserved promotion over the
heads of officers of merit, and is now
scraping a living off the proceeds of
his dead fathers book. Another son
married rich, and is only kept out of
poverty by his wife's fortune, and
Ulysses not to be out done by his
Oldest brother, has joined in the
scheme to work his mothers income.
Nellie is the only child of the great
soldier who is possessed of her fathers
sterling qualities, and the, poor girl,
married a drunken, improvident
wretch who took her away from her
people to a foreign country, where
her miserable life for a while was the
scandal of the world.

HARMLESS LO0Usrs.
They Are Not Injuring Fruit or
Grain, but Young Trees.

III GILL; Jul 7 OuuB 4E98Bs
CHICAGO, Ill, June Dispatches
from several points in Illinois and
Iowa say the locusts which are max
ing their appearance in such great
numbers are not molesting fruit,
grain or vegetables as yet. The only
damage done is the killing of young
and tender trees, many of which die
from the incisions by the insects in
depositing their eggs.
The secretRry of the Iowa Agri-
cultural society says he has received
information from Muscatine that
millions of locusts are in that country,
but no special damage has yet been
reported. It seems to be the general
opinion here that the locust in eastern
Iowa are not of the seventeen year
variety, but of the harmless class that
come around frequently, seven years
ago being the time ofthe last vista
ton.

The south gained thirty-eight ad-
ditional representatives in congress
by the constitutional amendment
which conferred citizenship and suff-
rage upon the cOlored race. And yet
it is a notorious and Acknowledged
fact that, in defiance of that constitu-
tiOnaI amendment, the colored race
In the south is virtually dlsfranchised
by intimidation and ballot box manip-
ulation That is to say, the people
whom the thirty-eight additional
southern congressman are supposed
to represent are not permitted to have
any part or voice in their election.
This is the kind of democracy with a
small d, that characterizes the demo
cratic party with big D. and en-
ables it to dominate the national gov
eminent Topeka Commonwealth.

How to Destroy Ohinohbugs.

From the Kansas Farmer
A Wisconsin farmer as reported in
the Mankato Kan Review, says his
neighbors beat the chinchbugs III this
way: ''Take one and one-half bushels
of lime, pour just enough water on it
to slack it into a powder or a fine
condition, and then add to it one and
one-half bushel of common stock salt,
and SOW broadcast over the ground
just as the small grain is sown, and
he says it has never been known to
fail. He further says if one fears the
ravages of the bugs, that the time to
SOW the compound is after the crop
has been planted and. just before it is
ready to come up"
It may be added that this prepare
ton is a good fertilizer, so that if it
destroys bugs or prevents their raw
ages, it serves a double purpose.

To the Democratic Voters of the Uni.
ted States.

The Graphic Publishing Company
issues two Democratic newspapers
the Daily Graphic and the Weekly
Graphic. They are recognized
throughout the United States as most
loyal and consistent supporters of the
Democratic party. Both papers are
staunch supporters of the National and
State Administrations. The Daily and
Weekly Graphic circulates in every
State and Territory of the Union.
The Daily Graphic is published at
$500 per annum, and The Weekly is
published at $3.50 per annum.
The recently issued address Of the
National Democratic Committee to the
people OF the United States sets forth
in plain language its pressing need of
funds for the legitimate expenses Of
this campaign. Never has money
been subscribed more literally, but
never has there been such a demand
for tariff documents. Millions of these
have been printed and circulated at
great expense. Millions more must
be distributed, and the money to pay
for them must be raised.
In view Of the urgent need for cam
paign funds the publishers OF The
Gradhic have decided to make the fol.
lowing offer to the Democratic voters
of the United States:
To every subscriber to the Weekly
Graphic between now and November
6 the paper will not only be mailed for
one year, but onehalf of the subscrip-
tion price ($1.25) will be Immediately
sent to the National Democratic Com
mittee, and acknowledged by it.
Now, then, how does this strike you ?
You receive the Weekly Edition of
the best Democratic, as we'll as the
best Daily illustrated, paper in the
country at its regular subscription
price for one year dating from Oct. l,
1888, and you help your party to per-
petuate the principles of Democrac :
and Tariff Reform.
Our Cartoons by TIL: MAST, the
great caricaturist, are alone worth the
price of the paper.
Send along subscription for the
Weekly Graphic by next mail, getting
the paper at its regular subscription
price, which also contributes $1.25 to
the Campaign fund. We want 1OO,-
600 subscriptions in 80 days, and we
expect, with your prompt and vigorous
support, to get them, and your names
will go down to posterity in the col
umns of The Graphic as good Demo-

Gov. TaylOr's New AnecdOte.

Gov. Taylor spoke at Charlotte,
Dickson county, October /, where he
was rendered rousing reception, not
less than 5000 persons being present.
The governor made strong speech,
and won many new friends. In re-
ferring to the prohibition element, he
humorously illustrated the position Of
that vote by story told with such per-
feet mimicry that even such voters
did not attempt to refrain from giving
vent to the laughter to which it gave
rise. Two fellows on protracted
spree met after several days spreeing,
and the following conversation en-
sues
" Good mornin'."
GOOD mornin'."
Good evenin'."
"'Taint evenin', its mornin' and
that's the sum-"
"I guess / know what Pm talking
about, its evenin', and that's the full
moon."
" well we won't have any fuss about
1T, but leave it to the first man we
meet to settle the question"
With locked arms they wander
down street and find man in the
same condition, who is hanging on a
lamp-post. The situation is GRAPHICAL
ly explained to him and elicits the re-
ply:
Gentlemen, you'll have 'scuse me
I'm stranger in this town."
The application made OF it by Gov
ernor Taylor is: The sun represents
the brilliancy and glory of still rising
democracy. The moon represents the
waning republican party, while the
stranger is the prohibitionist This is
an election where you must be for the
sun or moon.
