~ EARMER,S WIFE TALKs.

In the west and northwest the wo-
nren have begun to give their opinions
on the present war tariff. a farmers
institute in Dixon, H., was lately adj
dressed in the following vigorous Ian
guage by Mrs. j. II. Elliott, wife of
one of the farmers present.
Sometimes the farmers wife, when
she SITS down to mend-juSt for a rest
her husband's wooden socks, reflects
that If her congressman had not levied
such tax OF that pair of socks she
would have money to buy new pair,
instead of spending her time on the
open territory of the old ones. She
thinks,alsO what relief it would be if
she were not compelled to use the en-
tire proceeds of her butter and eggs in
paying the tax on the salt she puts in
the butter and on the sugar she uses in
her coffee aud fruit. The witty sena-
tor from Kansas, Mr.. ingalls,, gives as
the only reason why women should not
vote that they have sense enough not
to want to vote. / confess l am just
stupid enough TO want to cast q ballot
on the salt and sugar question, and if
l ever get to voting l Will by no means
stop at salt and sugar. DID woman
vote IN TINS country Jllnk al could De
relied upon that the tax would be re-
moved from what we use in the kitchen
and remain upon whiskey and tobacco.
If your condition is such asis generally
confessed, if the condition of your
wives approaches what have Indicated,
may / not ask that You turn down your
coat collar, shake the hay seed from
your hair and do something? If you
are not brave enough to do it for your
selves, lott fol the sake of your wives
and children. You are numerically
strong enough to redress all the griev-
ances of which YOU complain and you
are forever complaining. Don't be
blinded any longer into protecting mil
liOnaires. Protect yourselves and fam
ily. Don't be deluded any longer with
the idea that it is your duty to provide
ample dividends for every monopoly in
the country. will the motive that you
are periodically supporting American
Industries. Agriculture Is not recog-
nized in the phrase protection of
American industries while it Is the
American industry of all others. IL is
the industry which is taxed TO support
all others. Speed the day when the III
inois farmer shall learn enough to know
it."

CONGRESSIONAL POSSIBILITY.

II will be but short time, five weeks,
until the congressional democratic con-
vention will meet at Great Bend to
nominate a candidate for congress and
it appears that there are no regularly
announced candidates in the field. We
have no particular favorite among the
several names informally suggested,
bat we believe the nominee should be a
man identified with the farming and la
boring class or one who is in sympathy
with that class. Such man must, of
course, favor tariff reductions to the
extent suggested by the presidents
message and now being attempted by
the Mills bill, and if we can find can
didate who has clean public and pri-
waite record, one who is a convincing
speaker and who is willing to make
thorough and earnest canvass of the
district, he will give Mr.. Peters a very
close race more, than likely defeat him.
Mr.. Peters received a plurality of but
9,445 votes two years ago when tariff
agitation had barely commenced. No
one viii question the assertion that
there are 10000 farmers in this district
who voted with the republicans in 1856
who will vote for a tariff-reform candi-
date now. In The counties west Of Bar
Der the subject of tariff was not even
discussed in 1856. while this year the
farmers are active in organizing "alh-
ances" and tariff reform clubs. In 1856
Sedgwick county gave Mr.. Peters but
200 plurality; this year that county Of
fers to give the nominee of the demo-
cratic convention 2OOO majority because
the people are dissatisfied with Mr..
Peters. And so it is all over the dis
trict.
The Great Bend convention is OF far
more Importance than the state nomin-
ating convention at Leavenworth. for
the nominee of the former does stand
some show of being elected this year,
and democratic member of congress
from Kansas is something TO wish for.

that Governor Gray, Of Indiana, will
not sulk in his tent, though he did not
receive the nomination for the second

ows of soldiers Of the waIrof the rebel
lion shall commence at the date of the
death Of their husbands This legisla-
ton favorably effects all claims of wild
ows of the late war which have been
filed in the pension Office on or after
July 1.1SS0, which have been allowed to
commence from the date of filing the
claims, but will not favorably affect
the cases of such widows as were filed
July 3, 1850, and which have been al
lowed pension, having already been
granted IN these cases from death Of
their husbands. The commissioner of
pensions gives notice that in settlement
under this law of claims already allow
ed no formal application will be requir-

will not be necessary. Widows EMIT
led under said law should only write a
letter giving the name, post-ofIice adj

claims will be allowed with as little de-

or the nominee for vice-president
the Indianapolis Sentinel says: Never
was an honor more worthily bestowed.
The name of Allen G.. Thurman is a
synonym tor all that is wise and great
in craftsmanship. pure and upright in
public life and amiable and loyable in
personal character. A man of grand
intellect, OF rugged integrity, of I'M
flinching courage and of genuine patri-
otism. he fulhlls the Hottest ideal of
American manhood and citizenship.
Ihs public record is without a blemlsh,
his private life without a stain. lie is
the exponent of all the best tendencies
in our politics. He has been q foe of
corporate rapacity. He has always an
tagonlzed corruption, jobbery and mo-
nopoly In every form, and no American
statesman has, or deserves a warmer
place in the hearts of the toilers of the
land. Indiana had candidate of her
own whose defeat is sincerely regretted.
But it is no discredit to be beaten IN a
democratic convention by Allen G..
Thurman. and the Indiana democracy
have the satisfaction of knowing that
If their candidate was defeated, it was
not by an unworthy man, but by one
whose deserved pre-eminence in his
party none will more readily coneede
than Isaac p. Gray. There is certain
ly no man in the country, outside of
Indiana, who is more popular with the
democrats of this state. They rever-
ence him and love him and will give
him theiT hearty and cheerful support.
