Chairman Booth of the State Gen
trail Committee Heard From.
Kansas City Times.
Larned, Kas., Oct. S.-Henrv Bootf
chairman of the republican state cen
trail committee and republican candi
date for representative in the state leg
islature, recently wrote the following
letter to prominent republican here,
but by some oversight it fell into the
hands of the wrong party and was Civ.
en- to the public.
Topeka, Kansas, Get. 2.-Dear--
Your kind note in reference to my can
didacy for the legislature duly received
l am under everlasting obligations to
you for your assurances of support.
Were at liberty to canvass my dis
trict would have no fears of the re-
suit, but owing to the fact that l am
kept busily engaged managing the state
campaign l will be unable to give my
district any attention. This is indeed
a momentous campaign for the republi-
can party, and while do not appre-
bend disaster, there is no telling what
may happen. The labor union vote,
Martins popularity and the heavy men
the democrats have nominated for con-
gress are playing hovoc with US. We
can t talk high protection to the farm
ers. for they not only give us the laugh
but won't even attend our meetings.
Everything seems to be at sea, and
heaven only knows where the revolt
will end. We have worn the bloody
shirt threadbare. There is absolutely
nothing left for us to do but pitch into
our adversaries. l advise you then, in
the present emergency to give the labor
union men - and speak on local is
sues only. At all events we must not
allow the labor union to carry Pawnee,
as you say they will. Rather than
consent to that [ would withdraw and
have my friends elect the democratic
nominee, as have no sympathy for
these beggars. Yours truly,
HENRY BOOTH.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 6, 1888.
My Dear Sir: The Mills bill has
been referred to the senate committee
on finance, who will probably report an
original bill as a substitute in the
course of few days. My own impress
sion was that it would have been bet
ter to have gone to the country with
the bill as it passed the house. The
debate has been very able, and public
opinion has crystalized. As 1t is, we
shall have to attack the Mills bill and
defend our own.
agree with you in thinking that the
tariff needs revision, but the time is
too short for intelligent action before
adjournment. Agricultural products
need protection fully as much as those
which arc manufactured.
Very truly yours.

There are wool, coffee, tea, sugar,
lumber, salt and many more things, On
which we propose reduction Of tariff;
not as much as | would like to see, how
ever. The republicans ought to have
followed Arthur's advice anG made a
reduction of % pei cent. in the tariff,
instead of increasing it. The question
of tariff seems to be fair one to all.
Follow what say, be honest with your
selves and consider the matter fairly.
The new republican tariff bill has
been flung out to the world, and what is
it? 1t proposes to put tobacco and
spirits on the free list and, they say,
check the import Of such articles as
would tend to injure labor. Why, near
ly every article worn BY the people in
this hall is manufactured in America.
But this bill was manufactured in ac-
cordance to the platform adopted at
Chicago, when the republican party sold
themselves out to. the manufacturers
and monopolists. The last republican
mode of reducing the surplus, is By in
Producing bills like the one Sherman
sent in, asking for congress to pay back
81, 900 that Bob Lincoln had paid to a
substitute for the army. Applause.

The Rage for Ribbons.

There is rage for velvet or MORE
ribbon garnitures abroad. They are
used upon every style of dress from
lawn to Lyons satin, to drape skirts, to
trim whole costumes, to decorate matt
nees, tea-gowns, hammock toilets, =
wraps, bonnets, parasols, and to run
through the open-work meshes of fancy
lace. The ribbons are also used with
a lavish hand upon white lace dresses
and for braces, shoulder knots and bre-
telles. Lattice straps of velvet arranged
across the chest over guimps and
shocked plastrons of crepe lisse or
tulle, with dog collar and Swiss girdle
to match, are made to enrich the dainty
summer dresses, even those of the most
inexpensive kinds. Velvet bodices,
with short sleeves trimmed with white
lace, cut in a deep square or V-shape
in the neck, are worn with diaphanou;
toilets of every description, except
those made with long train. Rows
of watered ribbon set on in straight
lines are seen upon many of the plain
ly cut skirts of walking and visiting
dresses recently sent from London and
Paris, IN Y. Pest.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

ACCORDING to the Quarterly Journal
of Inebriety the medicinal value OF
ALCOHOLICS slowly vanishing.
A FRENCH scientist, after thorough
investigation, comes to the conclusion
that the increase in crime is in large
measure due to the use of alcoholic
drinks.
THE money spent for drinks in an
American city of 200, ZOO inhabitants is
put down at $24,000 per week the year
round. That is $1,3O0,OO0 thrown
away and worse, and seven-tenths oil
it comes from day laborers.
THE British National Temperance
Society has, somewhat awkwardly,
been made the legatee for 81, 200 by the
will of deceased wine merchant, the
money to be given as prizes for the
best three essays on total abstinence.
IT is alleged by one who claims to
have been cured of taste for alcohol
ic stimulant, that half-ounce OF
ground quassia stepped in pint OF
vinegar, a small teaspoonful of the de.
coction to be taken in little water
every time the thirst comes on, affords
a certain cure. This is cheap, sim.
pie and harmless remedy for very
serious and expensive passion, if il
really has the power claimed for it,
Exchange.
A MAN was arranged in the police
court in this city for stealing candle
sticks, etc., from several Catholic
churches, and then pawning the stolen
articles. He claims to have been
clergyman in his earlier years. AS he
sat in the police court, clad in ragged
and worn garments, his hands trembled
nervously, like one on the verge OF
delirium tremens. The Judge asked
him what was the cause of his ruin.
Drink" was the laconic reply. All!
what flood-gate to sorrow, shame and
ruin is that word ''drink." When will
our young men learn the lesson that is
repeated in such narrowing, CHASTITY,
daily crimes and calamities that fill
our social life with blood and woe?-

Drunkenness as a Disease.

DIR. Godding, superintendent of the
Government Insane Asylum in Wash
ington; has written letter to one of
the committees Of Congress, in which,
while showing that it would be unwise
to confine inebriates with insane per-
sons, he makes the following interest
ing remarks:
"Inebriety as disease is distinct
from insanity. Inebriates resent being
placed with the insane; nor are the in
sane, as rule, proud of them as asso-
ciates. Insane from the poison of
drink, as they undoubtedly are while
the liquor is in them, they now and
then get committed to hospitals
for the insane, and in their de-
tention during convalescence they af-
ford interesting though unprofita-
BILE psychological studies. Dissolute
in habit, and idle in life, they are I'M
comfortable from the start. They are
usually fault-inding and impatient at
their detention, denouncing every body
and every thing about them. When
quiet and seemingly at ease in their
lot, they are studying how to SNUG
gle in whisky, or effect an escape. In
them moral honesty and generous i'm
pulses are sadly wanting, and a condi-
ton of settled discomfort characterizes
the enforced abstinence OF their hospi-
tai life. What they need is occupation
and prolonged treatment in an indus
trial home, where they can be kept at
work at enforced labor under the super
vision of judicious physician. As a
rule, confinement In idlensss does them
little or no good"
