ple's party is only a democratic annex,
have frequently expatiated upon the
theme Of Coloneps Polk's visit TO
Kansas TO tell Kansas republicans
how they should vote. The impress
sion is sought TO be conveyed that it
was at President Polks dictatiOn that
the peoples party was organized A
single moments reflection will satisfy
any rational man or woman OF the
utter fallacy Of this claim. II the
readers OF The ADVOCATE will consult
their files they will find this move
ment advocated during all the months
OF It's existence. We took advanced
ground on this subject when the idea
was not as popular as it is to-day. In
Jefferson county one year ago, and
right after the first establishment of
the paper at Meriden, a county ticket
was placed in the field and a part Of
the ticket was elected. In Cowley
county where the alliance was better
organized, and where tho NONcon-'
fOrmjst was published and generally
circulated, the entire peoples county
ticket was elected by a good majority,
and though there has been an ele-
ment in the order that has been op-
posed to this action, the press and the
public speakers have constantly edU-
Gated the people in that direction un-
til there was a simultaneous demand
for On independent movement by che
great mass of the people in all parts
Of the state. The movement had it's
beginning before Colonel Polk was
elected president Of the. National ALI
anCe, and before one man in ten
thousand knew there ever was such
a man. The first step towards the
organization Of the party was taken
at the meeting Of the county pregi-
dents, and at the meeting on the 18th
day of June the machinery Of the
party was put in motion, and Colonel
Polk was never consulted in the mat
ter and never made a suggestion to
anybody in regard to it. He visited
our state from the Sd to the 9Th OF
July following the organization OF
the party, and made three speeches
here. In neither Of those three
speeches did he undertake to tell any
body how he should vote. We pub
lished his speech delivered at Win
field, and any one who will consult
that speech will at once see the alb
surdity of the statements made by the
J republican press that he is diCtating
} to the people Of Kansas as to how
they shall vote. Colonel Polk came
to our state in the interest Of that uni
fcation between the north and south
, which Senator Ingalls, declares to be
so desirable and inevitable. He came
and was received as a messenger oi
peace, and designing demagogues are
now seeking to counteract the infiu-

An Eccentric Michiganian.

Julius NJ. Case of Marquette, Mich,
who died suddenly at the Victoria hotel
Thursday from the bursting ofsa blood
vessel in his brain, says a London cable
gram to the New York Sun, was very
popular among his friends, although he
cultivated one or two amusing eccen-
tricities to a degree that was some
what Objectionable to the British. One
of Cases fads was his collection of
walking sticks of all manner of odd and
bizarre patterns. The more grOtesque a
stick was that he saw in shop window
the surer he was to buy it. One of his
sticks had the head OF bulldog, life
size, and Case would calmly carry it in
the street, unmindtul of the fact that
every passer-by stopped to look at him.
Another cane had the head of monkey,
which when spring was touched stuck
out its tongue and winked its eyes. and
Case was fond of walking down Picca-
dilly with it under his arm, blinking and
lolling its tongue; while he appeared alb
solutely unconscious that he was at
tracing attention. Others Of his sticks
contained perfume fountains, jack-in-
the-box whistles, and similar instru-
ments of torture
Cases favorite cane, however, was one
that served as sign in umbrella shops.
1t was something like five feet long,
had a buckhorn handle six inches in
length. With this small tree it was

Early in March, 1861, party OF
friends, all old buffalo hunters, now liv-
ing and prominent citizens of Wichita
and Grand Bend, in Kansas. were
camped in Paradise valley, then a fam
Gus rendezvous of the animals they were
after. One day, when out OH the range
stalking, and widely separated from
each other. au awful blizzard came UP.
Three reached camp without much diff
ticulty, but he who was the furthest
away was fairly caught in it, and night
coming on was compelled to resort to Il
method frequently employed by per-
sons lost on the plains. Luckily he
soon found a superannuated bull that
had been abandoned by the herd, and
killing him, took out the viscera, and
himself crawled inside the huge beast,
where he lay. comparatively comfort
able until morning, the storm having
cleared off and the sun shining brightly.
But when he attempted to get out found
himself prisoner, the immense ribs of
the creature having frozen together and
locked him up as tightly as if he were
in cell. Fortunately his friends, who
were searching for him and firing Oft
their rifles-which he heard and yelled
out to them discovered and released
him from his peculiar predicament.
At another time two old plainsmen
were away up the Platte among the foot
hills hunting buffalo and they, as is gen.
orally the case, became separated. In
an hour or two one killed a fat young
COW and leaving his rifle on the ground
went up and commenced to skin her.
While busily engaged in the work he
suddenly heard, right behind him, sup
pressen sort of snort and looking
around saw to his dismay mOnstrOus

bear deliberately ate hearty meal, and
when he had satiated himself, quietly
lay down alongside Of the carcass and
went to sleep. keeping one eye probably
on the hunter corralled in the tree. In
the early evening his partner came to
the spot, killed the bear, which, full of
buffalo, was sluggish and unwary, and
became an easy victim, and the unwil-
ling prisoner came down from his perch.
The last time l saw him he told me he
still had the bears hide. which he kept

LAWYER AND CLIENT.

''The only lawyer who made his client
plead guilty after being acquitted was
c. NJ. Hardy" said a lawyer to a Chicago
Tribune reporter. Ithappened this way:
"a man was arrested for burglary. The
principal evidence against him was an
overcoat found in the house, which the
burglar had evidently left in his hurry to
get away. In one of the pockets OF the
overcoat were some printed business
cards bearing this mans name, which we
will call Tom Jones, furniture remover.
OF course Jones was arrested; the coat
was found to fit him exactly and 1t
looked dead sure thing that he. would
be convicted. But nobody had seen the
burglar enter the house or leave 1t, and
it was not difficult matter to prove an
abb for the prisoner OF course tnat
meant disowning the overcoat, winch
Jones promptly did. When the case
came before the jury it was a treat to
hear Mr.. Hardy arguing the obsurdlty OF
burglars going a-burglaring' with thelr
business cards in their pockets. He dld
not attempt to show how the cards hap
pened to be in an Overcoat which exactly
fitted his Client but threw the whole
thing overheard, as it were, and made
the prosecution appear in such a rdlcu-
lous light that the jury acquitted the
prisoner after five minutes deliberation.
''But when the lawyer and his client
were leaving the criminal court by the
Michigan street steps it began to rain.
Mr.. Hardy buttoned up his overcoat
round his neck, and noticing that his
client was minus an overcoat, he said
Jones, you had better go back to court
and bring your overcOat,' alluding to the
one which he had so strenuously dis
owned few moments before.
'The man, not wishing to get wet,
turned back to get his coat, and had
reached the top step before it dawned on
him that to apply for the coat would be
an equivalent to a confession of guilt.
At once retracing his steps he overlook
his lawyer at the corner of Clark street.
"Why, that's pleading guilty. Jones
exclaimed, when he had recovered
breath.
$50 is turning back for that coat, re-
Joined his attorney; but you needn't
fear-that jury wouldn't believe you and
the judge couldn't. -.
Zones guessed he had pleaded guilty
enough already and that his coat wasn't t
worth much any way, and that he would
get along without it."

The farmer who grows his own food
is not likely to starve to death. He can
pinch on almost everything else better
than on food.
Secretary Rusk declares that carpet
woods can be as cheaply grown in the
United States as anywhere else in the
world.
Quality of food is of more considera-
ton than quantity. An animal would
starve to death with mountain of saw
dust before it.
Glover should be cut when in full

indigestible.
Almost any fellow can ripen cream,
but none of them appear to be able to

secret to himself.
Fences cannot be too early put in re-

All nitrogen comes from the atmos-

The barn with manure cellar IN

Pedigree is of no account as far as

is of value as guaranty of good off,

The man engaged in dairying is a
manufacturer" That depends on
whether he converts the milk into butter
and cheese. If he does not, he is simply
a producer.
No farmer should go at it monkey
fashion and do as his neighbor does un-
less he sees clearly that the conditions
are the same on his land as on that of his
neighbor.
Weight of fodder is not the only cri-
terion to go by. Half the fodder in di-

whole, if half of it is in an indigestible
