Review of the Republican State Plat
form.
from the PleasantOn Herald.

luOuoC. uO ctoCN ASNPN'cAiO"' 49,
vention of Kansas met, proclaimed a
platform and adjourned. This platform
has more colors than Joseph's coat.
They resolved their adherence to the
national Republican platform (Which
was in favor of reduction of the tariff
and in favor of the Mckinley bill that
raises tariff duties. They resolved III
favor of protection to manufacturers
and indorsed Plumb, who is fighting the
Mckinley bill. They declared for a
high tariff and Endorsed Plumb who is
fighting it, and they declared for low
tariff and Endorsed ingalls,, who is for
high tariff.
They declared for free coinage silver
bill and indorsed the recent Wall street
restricted bill. Endorsed ingalls,. who
supported it, Endorsed Plumb, who oppos-
ed it, and remained silent as to Funston,
who helped kill free coinage.
They declared for more money and
Endorsed the silver bill, passed TO pre-
vent an increase of the money volume.
They Endorsed the legislation of ''con-
gress and OF the state" to suppress COM
bines and trusts, when there is not Il
particle of legislation that has ever
suppressed combine, pool or trust.
great or small.
They Endorsed Plumb and ingalls, for
faithful service in congress. Plumb has
done much, Ingalls, has done nothing;
Plumb fought the Mckinley bill, In
gals ''did not vote; ;" Plumb opposed the
greed of manufacturers, ingalls, favored
their greed; Plumb favored free coinage
of silver, ingalls, opposed free coinage;
Plumb stood by the people, ingalls,
stood by the monopolists and Wall street.
And this convention of truculent,
time-serving, political shysters and ac-
robats, that blew both hot and cold.
indorsed both. 1t was good Lord. good
devil! Anything to gull the people.
nothing for honesty and all for votes.
They want votes and want them bad.
TO secure Democratic votes they resOlv-
ed for some Democratic principles; to
secure Farmers Alliance votes they
proclaimed Farmers Alliance plat
form; the friend of railroads, they de-
clared against them. In word, this
convention was composed of 800 office
holders-county clerks, treasurers, sher-
ifs, county attorneys, postmasters,
bankers and loan agents-and the plat
form they promulgated is variagated-
ringed streaked and striped-a mixture
of Republican, Farmers Alliance,
Democratic, Know-NOthing, Union La
Dor, knights of labor-a hermaphrodite
production, that will send call things to
all men," Such Il burlesque upon an
honest declaration of honest principles
from a party claiming honesty, the world
has never seen before.
After the monster was born and label
ell the Republican platform" of the
party in Kansas, it was finally resolved
that they favor the reelection of John
james Ingalls, to the United States SEN
ate.
Favor him? Yes! The greater the
rascal the stronger the Endorsement.
Favor him? Yes! Because he is a
shyster and trucking charlaton.
Favor him? Yes! Because he has
no political honesty.

The laws of health are taught in the
in the schools; but not in way TO be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases might easily be done.
II some scholar, who had just contract
ed cold, was brought before the
school, so that all could hear the dry
loud cough and know its significance,
see the thin white coating on the
tongue and later, as the cold deve-
loped, see the profuse watery ex-
pectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms
of cold were. The scholar should
then be given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely, that all might see that
even a severe cold could be cured in
one or two days, or greatly miti-
gated, when properly treated as soon
as the first symptoms appear. This
remedy is famous for it's cures Of
coughs, colds and Group. 1t is made
especially for these diseases and is the
most prompt and most reliable medi-
cine known for the purpose. so cent

THE ECONOMY OF ELECTRICITY.

In the interesting interview in yeSter-
DAYS REGISTER with the Secretary Of
che Gas Board, on the subject of light
inc the city with electricity, that gen
tleman among other things said:
THE city was charged ON the books of
the Gas Trustees, last year, with about
sf6.OOO. OF course. every one viii NJ once
realize that there wOnld be no comparison,
in the amount of light furnished, between
Gas illumination and electric light lllumin-
alton
Certainly not; nor would there be
any comparison between the expenses
of running am electric light plant and
the present gas plant. The electric
plant would cost for running expenses
lust about half the sum necessary to
run the present gas plant. to say nothing
of the infinitely superior light. But
che secretary adds;
81 am opposed to the gas works being
compelled TO bear any part OF the burden
of constructing an electric plant Inc gas
consumers not only pay Slb,uJ1 tor hghtlng

The Gas consumers. over and above tie cost
of the gas they consume. lt would seem
tia. that was sufficient burden
The secretary seems TO forget that
with the erection of an electric light
plant. this $4,000 year, which the
people now pay for lighting the streets
with gas, would be done away with, and
the cost OF street lighting reduced to
about s. 900. a saving Of so per cent. IN
one lump.
This would fully enable the gas
board. itself, TO build even $4,000
electric light plant, and the $4,000 a
year saved in running expenses would
pay the interest on the loan, and also
rapidly pay of the principle. Instead
of being an additional burden on thu
gas consumers, it would tighten theil
present burden, and in few years re
lieve them from it entirely, and in tn,
meantime give them infinitely more fol
the.r money.
