NUMBER II.

The following open letter of
Kansas man to Rev. c. II. Pendle-
ton, of Massachusetts, whose inter-
view with newspaper reporter gave
rise to the scurrilous attack upon
President Cleveland, because of the
mistreatment of his wife, explains
itself:
Rev G. II. PENDLEToN,
Worcester, Mass.
ARGENTINE, Kas., June 12.-DEAR
SIR: l have read in the papers an
interview taken from the Worcester
Telegram, in which you figure most
prominently. For over thirty years
L have been voting the Republican
ticket, as have also four sons of
mine. 1t so happened that the men,
bers of my family met at reunion
at my farm, near Argentine, Satur-
day. June 8, and it was on this oc-
casion that we read of your inter-
view. Now am an old man, with
but few years TO live. Though not
member of the church, have tried
to live an honest life and TO deal
fairly with my fellowman. But, sir,
before l would be guilty of such an
act as yours L would take my old
smooth bore from behind the door
and blow my brains out. How
Baptist clergyman, familiar with the
teachings of the bible, could so far
forget and ignore his calling as to
descend to the low plane of an at
tack upon the sacred domestic rela-
tions of President Cleveland and his
beloved wife is more than l, plain
farmer, can understand. Sir, 1
would most respectfully beg of you
to read your bible, for it really seems
that you manifest gross ignorance of
its truths as well as the teachings of
the commandments that Christ has
given us to follow. If you think
this kind of warfare is going to elect
a Republican president you are
grestly mistaken in the character
and sense of our people. The Rev.
Burchard, think that's his name,
went out of his way to help Blaine;
you know how well he succeeded,
and now you, o reverend sir, have
added your mite. 1t is, indeed, a
pitiful sight to see a minister of the
gospel so eager to seek notorIety as
you seem to be. You have made
grave mistake; SANDER is an evil
thing from any source, but especial
ly so from the mouth of q clergy
man. [ am no lover of Cleveland,
but when the Republican party sinks
so low that they have to whip in a
minister of the gospel to throw mud
at Cleveland, in my mind it is con-
elusive proof that they are IN bad
way, morally as well as physically.
So gIess me and my boys will have
to Jump the fence. Very truly,
CHARLES c. MILLER.

The Kernel of the Argument.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
Governor Oglesby when asked whom
the Democrats were going to noml-
nate answered: "Groyer Cleveland
d-n him."
Uncle Dick uttered the general
feeling of his party. Listen to a dis
cussion on a corner about the cam
paign. The Republicans will occupy
their part of the time in abuse of
Cleveland and reason why he should
be defeated, but through it all runs
the refrain, "D-n him." In his
heart no Republican believes Cleve-
land is going TO be defeated and that
Is why he says, ''D-n him." When
men get so angry that they can not
concede to an opponent the decencies
it is usually because they feel the
approach of defeat. If Grover Cieve-
land were not a winner the Republi
cans would oppose HIM but they
would not hate him. If he had not
put them to their wits end by break
ing the heart of their only crack
man, Blaine, they would be compar-
atlvely cheerful about the coming
race. They feel like the Kentucklans
did in 1877 when Ten Brook faltered
on the home stretch at Baltimore and
lost them 100000. They feel as
the Trojans did when they saw Hec-
tor dragged behind the Greeks
chariot.
"Hector is dead and Ilium is no more"
They feel like a poker player who
began with the idea of cleaning out
the party and had just risen with his
pockets empty and a reputation of
dishonesty to add fuel to the fire of
his rage.
The politician of the Republican
party look over their champions.
Blaine has turned tail. Gresham is
not able to get backing. Depew
could not carry a northwestern state.
Sherman has political rheumatism.
So on down the list-the further you
go the worse they get. After the in
spection, the politicians have nothing
to do but get mad and say: Grover
Cleveland, d-n him. 1t Is not for
what he has done or what he believes
that they curse him it is for his pop
ularity. 1t is because they can not
frighten him into a mistake or irri-
tate him into hasty talk. They can
not find weak points, and say, "d-n
him." in the disgust of impotent
passion.
Cleveland is the stronger for Gov
ernor. OgIesby's way of giving vent
to his feelings. The country will rec
ognize in the oath the Republican par
tvs thought. The sum and substance
of the Republican argument against
Cleveland is, "D-n HIM, and the
people are shrewd enough to know
what feeling that translates. x. C.

JUDGE KREKEL, of the United
States district court at Kansas City,
handed down a decision on Thursday
of last week in the habeas corpus
suit of Robert Clanton: charged with
killing l.. f. Coates, Jerome and
William Maddo twenty-five years
ago, in front of the Galloway county
courthouse, in this state. Clanton's
attorney maintained that his arrest
in this state while under bond for
killing a man in Texas, was illegal.
Judge Krekel decided that Clanton's
arrest was legal, and denied the writ
of habcas corpus, remanding Clan
ton to the Galloway county Jail to
be tried for the triple murder.

Paper for Building Purposes.

The use OF paper fabric for building
purposes-by the term paper being
meant broadly flexible sheet made of
vegetable or other fibre, which has been
reduced to pulp, and then pressed out
and spread and dried-is now advocated
by some builders on the following
grounds: First, continuity Of surface
that is it can be made ia rolls of al
most any width and length, il f.xib'e,
or by gluing several layers together
may be made stiff, and will stop the
passage of air because there are no joints;
second, it has no grain like wood and
will not split; third, it is not affected
by change Of perature, aud thus has
an advantage over sheet metal as roofing
material; fourth, whereas i n its natural
condition it is affected by moisture, it
may be rendered waterproof by saturat-
ing with asphalt, or by variety of
other methods; fifth, it is non res onant
and we'll fitted to prevent the passage OF
sound; sixth, it is a non-conductor Of
heat, and can also be made Of neon
bustible material, like asbestos, or rem
dered fire-resisting by chemical treat
ment, The ombination OF paper with
other substances and solidifying the
mass by pressure, renders cticlblo the
production OF material capabl, OF re-
placing wood for many purposes; and
not least among its characteristics of
adaptabi,ity is the ease with which it
may be made into sheets of any width
and thickness, that will not warp or
shrink from heat, cold, or ddmpness.-

"This is a very popular STYLE" said

inches wide.

paper cut into square sheets. In fact,
anything out OF the regular style can be
used now"

Fruit Without Seeds

II Is we'll known that high cultivation
lends to produce fruit containing fewer
seeds, until at last all the powers of the
tree or plant are directed to the per-
'ecting of the pulp. In some cases no
seed appears. Tho finest varieties of
plantains and bananas, pineapples and
bread-fruit have no seeds. OF course,
all such trees and plants have to be
propagated from shoots or cuttings. 1t
has been common belief that the life
Of such plants could not be prolonged
indefinitely. In the case of the apple
and the orange this is true. The trees
have to be raised from seeds, and the
secdless varieties are grated upon these.
Such varieties of fruit could not arise in
a state of nature. They are the result
Of selection by the early races of man
kind. 1t must have been the case that
the fruit was abundant, so that peo'
pie were content only with the best. 1t
must also have been a favorite, If not
necessary article of food, or man would
not have improved it by careful selec-
tior.
Humboldt thought that some species of
the plautain were native to America, but
the early discovcrers made no mention
of FINDING it hero. If We could prove it
to be native, it would raise our estimate
Of the civilization of the people. AS
the case stands, tho probability is that
these seedless fruits were first p reduced
in the East Indies, and from that point
have been carried around tho world.
The name of the banana indicates that
it was given in the east, and that the
fruit was a leading one in the ancient
markets. i Youths Companion.
