GOOD WORDS FOR KANSAS.

A canning factory at Emporia has
put up 100000 cans of tomatoes and
beans this season.
1 don't know what mystery has
brought about the rapid development
of Kansas, except it be the mystery Of
education and industry.-Gen ". T..
Sherman.
All my work in securing early col
onies for Kansas has been paid for a
thousand times, by sight of her happy
and prosperous people. Kansas is a
state unrivaled In soil and climate, but
her highest honor is her population.
Their intelligence, enterprise and char
acter make them worthy of the grand
middle state, and her history.-Eti
7hayer.
The Kansas farmer has this year
proved himself second and mightler
Atlas. If the state ever changes hel
coat of arms, the new crest shonld show
the Kansas farmer supporting the
world on his shoulders. His potent al
chemy has transformed the rich black
soil into millions of buchels Of golden
grain, which is now going forth tc
feed the world.-NeW York Tribune.
I like Kansas. I like Kansas PEG
pie. They implanted in our soil TIT
principle of universal liberty. If al
the population of our country was like
the population of Kansas, our noble
institutions would have nothing Il

for freedom and when civil war rod
over our land. IF all our people wer'
like the noble people of Kansas w
sheuld always be a free nation.-Gen
US. Grant.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The Indians Prohibitionists Already Pre-
pairing for It's Reception.
The Prohibitionists of Indianapolis.
Ind, are delighted with the action of
the National Committee in choosing
that city as the place for the National
Prohibition Convention. They made a
strong appeal to the committee. rein-
forced by the invitation of the
mayor and council and offers
of very engaging character to
make satisfactory local arrangements,
and they won after hard battle. The
vote in the committee stood twenty
four for Indianapolis and twenty-one
for New York. If the New York Pro-
hibitionists had made little more exc
ertion the convention would undoubt-
edly have been carried to their city.
Plans are already being set on foot
for the accommodation of the conven-
ton. The Prohibition State Commit
tee met during the holidays and took
the necessary preliminary steps. The
Committee will also inaugurate a very
thorough canvass of the State, with a
view to having an early State Conven-
ton and County Conventions in every
county before the meeting of the Ma
tional Convention. Campaign funds
will be raised and methods for the most
vigorous kind of agitation and organi-
zation will be considered.

Five Reasons.

Intelligent and correct reasons for
being Prohibtionist. and for sup
porting Third or Prohibition party:
l. Because my sentiments are in
sympathy with the movement.
2. Because as Christian, with the
word of God as proof and security,
dare not support any party that author
ICES and empowers saloon-keepers to
carry on their nefarious and sin-cursed
business.
8. Because as a tax payer l know
that l am compelled to pay an excessive
and increased amount of taxes, not
withstanding my favoritism to ecomo-
my and saving.
4. Because 1 am taught to shun the
very appearance of evil. much less to
aid in the evil.
5. Irejoice for the privilege and op-
portunity of belonging to political
party that opens its sessions with
prayer, and where ministers of the
gospel and other Christians can con-
scientiously take an active part and 1
might 60 on and give one hundred
other reasons for being Prohibitions

given already.-TTmothy Shroyer, in

feierate Soldier.
1t was an eX-Confederate soldier at
Sheffield, Ala. who was giving some
OF his experiences at the battle of F ort
Donelson. He was an officer and had
young colored man for his cook
When the Confederates. or the great
bulk of them. decided, after a hot
fight, to withdraw from the fort. the
Captain looked around for his servant,
but the negr, was nowhere to be seen.
The officer mounted log and called
out in loud tones for his servant. and
pretty soon was answered. but in such
faint tones that he could not for awhile
locate tho cook. Cesar finally made
it plain that he was in the log under
the officers feet and was ordered to
come out.
Can't do itr' he shouted in reply.
But you must. The fight is all
over"
''But l can't-dar's TO- white men in
dis log behind me!''
And when the officer investigated he
found that such was the fact They
crawfished out. one after another. each
having an excuse TO urge. and finally
the darky appeared. The officer was
about to open on him. but Caesar pro-
tested:

The Appearance Of Evil.

An old Chinese proverb says: "Do
not stop in the cucumber field to tie
the shoe" The meaning is very plain.
Some will be likely to fancy that you
are stealing fruit. Always remember
the Injunction: abstain from all ap-
pearance of evil" Do not stop under
the saloon porch to rest yourself,
however shady the trees may be. or
however inviting the chairs. Some
one may fancy you are a common
lounger there, and so your good name
be tarnished. Don't go to liquor
saloon to get glass oflemonade. how
ever refreshing it may seem to you.
Rather buy your lemons and prepare
the cooling beverage at home. where
others may share it with you. perhaps
at no greater expense than your single
glass would cost you. Somebody see
ing you drinking at the bar will be
sure to tell the story, and will not be
particular to state that you were drink
ing lemonade. Then. too, if you are
careless about the appearances of evil,
you will soon grow equally careless
about the evil itself Exchange.

BABY KATIE.

Baby Katie, three years old,
Eyes OF sapphire, hair OF gold;
Hushed her song of baby glee,
Where she sat on grandpa's knee.
Lovely in its baby grace,
Grave and thoughtful grew her face,
While her dimplcd hands, outspread,
Softly fondlcd grandpa's head.
'Mong his locks, like silver spun,
In and out her fingers run.
''Tell me, dandpa," said the sprite,
'How you dot you hair so white
Tis so boo'ful and so fine,
So much pritier dan mine.
Tell me. dandpa. what to do
To mate mine white and pity, too"
Grandpa laughed: "well. declare,
So my baby wants white hair
Tiny, sweet, ambitious Kate,
Many years you'll have to wait;
Feel the chill OF life's decline.
Ere your hair can be like mine.
Hair like mine is bleached, sweet dear,
BY the SHOWS OF many year."
Katie slips from grandpa's knee,
Claps her hands in merry glee:
Speeds, with pattering footsteps feet,
Through the door into the street,
Where the snow is coming down,
Soft and silent, Ter the town.
Wondering what the spritc would Go,
Grandpa follows slowly, too.

WHERE LIES THE BLAME.

A murderous sway bears alcohol
Throughout our own fair land,
For scores Of strong men daily fall
By its an-potent hand!
And happy homes, alas! are made
BY strong drink desolate.
Bright hopes within the dust are laid
At an appalling rate.
For all this woe whom should We blame
Or chide the most! All. tell.
The drunkard, vender, or the men
Who grant the right to sell!
The drunkard least, the vender next
While statesmen sin the worse,
In making laws by which our land
BY liquid death is cursed!
Now let US rise, and men elect
Who'll dare to frame q law.
In which runs host can not detect
CTo help their cause} q flaw.
Yea, let US plead with voice and pen.
That nothing less will do,
To bring Joy to the homes Of men,
Than prohibition true.

Drink, boy, drink.
A single glass will not hurt you. I think.
Great endings must small beginnings have,
Though with but one glass now your throst

Though get but your nickel now, yeti
Shall scoop in your dollars by and by.

In this honest exchange I'm the gamer, think.
Your health and honor and happiness
Slip into Ey pocket-book' S wide recess.
And what do give in exchange! Oh, well.
The liquids that Hndle the passions Of hell!
Drink, boy, drink!
The tempter's claws hold you securely, think.
Not those of the old-fashioned orthodox one,
tBy the side Of my genius his glory is gomez,
And leer and chuckle W tn hendish glee:
''Your money Is more than your soul to me!''
Drink, boy, drink!
My business talent is great, think.
When you have grown poor and have grown
rich
I shall kick the old drunkard into the ditch.

An Anti-Monopoly Party.

The Prohibition party means anti
monopoly. 1t is a party of the people
and for the people. 1t is against the
granting of exclusive rights to liquor
sellers or to anybody else. Had it no
other reason to oppose high license, or
high taxation, which is the same thing,
it would oppose it because it says to a
poor man: ''You shan't engage in this
profitable business; only men with big
pocketbooks shall have the privilege of
engaging in it." The Prohibition party
means protection to the people.-M Y
Voice

PROTECTION.

The desperate effort to pump up the tariff is
sue again makes especially appropriate the fol
lowing lines from Rev. c. H. Mead's song OF last
year:
Just listen to Blaine. What, Blaine from
Maine?
Exactly. Protection. So runs his refrain.
Protection for what? For copper and steel;
Protection for wool, for beef and for veal;
Protection for yarn, for dry goods and toys;
Protection for mules, but none for the boys.
Protection for tin. for hairpins and wax:
Protection for iron, for toothpicks and tacl>s;
Protection for gun: for brushes and combs;
Protection for lace, but none for the homes.

| 1.-THE Republican party] shall take the
lead in the Prohibition movement, or

SINCE the Van Buren, County election
five more counties of Michigan have
taken Local Option votes. each Showing G
handsome 'dry' majority. Several
other counties have called elections.
Projection of the grog-shop and
free trade in immortal souls between

In all the fierce attacks on prohibi-
ton as something that does not pro-

swered: Why do the liGuor-dealers,
then. fight prohibitory laws so desper-
ately?
CHAPLAIN r. S. STuBBs, of Oregon,
can't stand the old party hypocrisy
any longer. and has come out squarely
for the Prohibition party. This is one
of the first-fruits of the non-partisan
defeat in Oregon.
ACCORDING to the call for the next
National Republican Convention. a
good Republican must believe in q
system of naval and coast defenses,"
but it makes no difference what he be-
lieves in regard to the saloons
ONE reason for the slow growth of
the Prohibition party is that the thou
sands of persons in the old parties who
have strong faith in the prohibition of
the liquor traffic rs the only remedy, do
not appreciate the magnitude of the

Why is it that to-day, when the Pro-

ganization in the country that believes
in and is working to abolish the saloons,
persons who vote the Democratic and
Republican party tickets will continu-
ally bob up and assert that they are

Senator Frye's Prediction.

In the heat of the canvass four years
ago the Hon. VIM. P. Frye declared
that the Republican party must hold
its Prohibition strength or go the way
of the old Wing party. Then it was
thought that Mr.. Frye had permitted
his strong temperance principles to get
the better of his political judgment.
Now he seems only to have seen with a
clearer eye what other able Republi-
cans have come later to perceive.-N
