AS to whether a person ever forgets
what he has once known, metaphysi-
clans differ in opinion. The prevalent
belief is that he does not; that the
memory is series of pigeon-holes,
wherein ''all the waits and strays OF
experience are carefully tiled away,
waiting for some occasion to bring
them out; that "memory deals with
these things as a photographer deals
with his negatives-does not destroy
but preserves them for future use.
Dreams seem to corroborate this the
ory. In them we see the faces and
forms of those who, years ago, ended
their earthly career. of whom we have
not thought for long time; are
transported to localities that-possi-
bly, familiar to us in our earlier days
have not been visited for years;
find that the words uttered, the deeds
done in that long ago, which We sup
posed had sunk into oblivion, are as
eternity itself.-From "Our Other
World" in Demorest's Monthly for
May.

and he was nominated for vice-presi
dent by reclamation. Then at 12:45
o'clock the convention adjourned side

Farm values in the United States
have increased 333 per cent since the
present protective system was put in
operation, and farm values in England
have decreased 40 per cent during the
free trade reign in that country. And
Mr.. Henry Champlain said, only a
few days ago in the English parlia-
ment that the farmers of England
were now losing 100000, OO0(nearly
two hundred and fifty million dollars)
a year. Do the American farmers

tributes paid to our fellow citizen:
"When the republicans of this dis

they made no mistake. Mr.. McGoni-

years ago and during these long years
has given all his energies to the adj
vancement of Kansas and her inter-
ests, and the success of the republi-

received an elective Office. When the
war broke out he enlisted in an Indi-
ana regiment as private and was
mustered out after three and half
years valiant service as captain of as
brave company as ever faced shot
and shell. The city of Colby and
Thomas county, and other counties of
this section owe as much to Mr. Nc.
Gonigal for their rapid advancement
in population and material wealth as
to any one man. if not more. Indeed
he has been foremost in every scheme
that had for its object the develop.

David NJ. Dale, of Wichita, Joseph

egates at large to the St. Louis con-
vention. From the 9th congressional
district, Geo. W. Collctt, of Ellsworth,
and Howard Carpenter, of Colby, were
chosen as delegates. The resolutions
adopted were regular democratic res
olutions; the first reaffirms the plat
form in 1884 when G. Cleveland was
elected. The third is lengthy, and
recites how pure the civil service has
become under democratic rule, and
claims for the party all the virtues
extant. The fourth denounces op-
preston, and expresses sympathy for
struggling Ireland. The fifth instructs
the delegates elected TO vote for the
nomination of G.. Cleveland. and the
sixth expresses doubt as to who ought
to be nominated for vice-president.

which has uniformly led to natural
embarrassment and wide spread ins
diyidual distress. On the result Of
such an issue fairly presented to
the popular Judgment, there is no
room for doubt. One thing is nee
essary to assure success, complete
harmony and cordial cooperation
on the part of those who aspire to
lead and of those who are eager to
follow. The duty is not one merely
of honorable devotion to the party
whose record and whose aims are
alike great, but it is one demanded
by the instinct of self interest and
by still higher promptings Of patri
otism A closer observation Of the
conditions of lives among the older
nations gives one a more intense de-
sire that the American people shall
make'no mistake in choosing a
policy which inspires labor with
hope and crowns it with dignity,
which gives safety to all and pro,
tects its increase, which secures po-
illINdi POheI W every C1tlLCi, GOuI-
fort and culture to every home. To
this end, not less earnestly and
more directly as a private citizen
than as a public candidate, l shall
devote myself, with the confident
belief that the administration of the
government will be restored to the
party which has demonstrated its
purpose and power to WELD it for
the unity and honor of the repub-
lie, and for the prosperity and prog
ress of the people.
I am, very sincerely yours,
