Beet Sugar and Reciprocity.

From the Kansas City News
y feature of Mr.. Blaines reciprocity
program Is said to be an attempt to in
duce Germany to open her markets TO
the American hog, by opening in turn
our markets to German beet sugar.
This game is well worth the candle.
which is more than can be said of
reciprocity with certain South American
countries. But American markets
should not be opened TO German beet
sugar without a provision for paying a
federal bounty to makers of beet sugar
in the United States. Germany built up
its beet sugar industry in a few years by
the aid of national bounties, and the
Unsted States. with all natural advant-
ages on its side, can do the same.

According to the Arkansas City Trav-
eler, B. II. Clover, the Alliance candi-
date for congress in the Third district, is
the possessor of !, 900 acres of excellent
tillable land, seventy-five head of horses,
about 100 cattle and all of the necessary
machinery for successful farming. and
that it has all been procured by him
since he became resident of Cowley
county sixteen years ago. As farmer
this does not look much like he was very
sorely pressed by hard times and per-
nicious legislation. But, then, it may be
that his constituency of the Alliance
may have selected him as their candi-
date because Of his apparent thrift, upon
the supposition that a man who can
manage his own private affairs success
fully is capable of managing the affairs
of state

Heligoland has been transferred from
England to Germany with great show of
official pomp. The inhabitants appear TO
accept the situation philoSophically, and,
indeed, it Is likely that their allegiance
to Germany will be strougeS than it was
to England, 10 which they were bound
by no particular ties of nationality, affec-
ton or common interests. Germany Is
naturally eNultant over Its acquisition,
which certainly, in strategeucal sense,
is a valuable prize.

THE BROOK.

We have found a shady nook
Down by the singing brook,
Ny dark eyed friend, and |;
Where the waters dance and leap
Der the pebbles at feet
AS we watch the changing sky.
Or, in dreamy mood we sit,
While the sunbeams round US fit.
And o er our heads the waving branches meet;
Or read some tender poem
While the brook is ever flowing.
Making sweetest music at our feet
Italian skies stretch far above US
Stately trees are bending DER us
Round their roots the water dances
And between the tWining branches
W e can see the snow-Cdpped peak,
From whose springs the waters leap
Ger the rocks, between the ridges,
Down beneath the rustic bridges.
Through the parks and shady glenS,
Flowing o er its shining sands,
Ever restless, free to roam
Far from It's mountain home,
Singing, dancing merrily,
On It's journey TO the sea.
When the twilight hour has found US
And the mountains close around
And the sun has left no traces in the west,
We hear the chime bells ringing
And voices sweetly singing
But It's the music of the brook that love best.
AS out on the night look
| see the spirit OF the brook
a nd feel it tender. soothing power.
As the stars their YigllS keep,
The sweet brook sings me to sleep
In the darkness OF the quiet midnight hour.

Hotel RuXtOn, Manitou Springs.

Those who are disappointed at the
work of the Alliance convention at To-
peka, Tuesday, particularly in its not
naming the man for governor whom the
Democrats were so anxious to have nom
mated; we say such disappointed ones
either forget that the convention was
held at the Republican headquarters of
the state, or they have a mighty poor
opinion of the manipulating ability of
the Republican leaders whose business it
is TO look out for such snaps. Its tanta-
lizing, but IFS funny.

Let 'em Settle 1t,

From the Pratt Republican.
The Union says that some fellow, in a
letter to the Wichita EAGLE, said of
Jerry Simpson, our candidate for con-
gress, almost everything mean he could
think of, calling him a Democrat, IN
ion Labor, anti-Republican, free trader,
anything for office According To the
editor of the Union, then, it Is mean
to call man Democrat" Union
Laborite," an 'anti-Republican' or Il
free trader" If Marshal Jerry is not a
Union Laborite," an ''anti-Republican
and a free trader what in thunder is
he! What was he nominated for, The
same letter accused Jerry of the grave
charge Of atheism. The Union evil
IDENTIFY believes, therefore, that it's
meaner TO be called a Union Laborite"
than an infdel. But we will not take

a CURSE TO KANSAS.

From the Leavenworth Times.
The course that has been pursued by
the leading Republicans at Topeka for
years has been curse to Kansas. While
making public professions of friendship
for the cause of temperance they have
privately refused to encourage the en-
forcement of the law in the large cities,
where there is a strong sentiment in op-
position to the law, and most of them
are anything else than practical prohi-
bitionists. \ number of the Republicans
of the capital city, men who are always
prominent in Republican or prohibition
conventions, are in the habit of getting
gloriously drunk in private. A. b.
Cambell is not the only public man in
Topeka who is in the habit of going on a
debauch. Several of the present state
officers, and others who We're in Office
there but recently, are great lovers of the
flowing bowl and when under the influ-
ence of that which flows therefrom have
been known to go as far as Campbell
went. saving the trip to the roof. The
Times has shown that the present gov
eInor IS not an advocate of prohibition in
the cities, though he poses before the
state at large as prohibitions high priest.
All these things interfere greatly with
the enforcement of the prOhibitory law
in the state and give occasion to its enc
mics to jibe at it and to claim that it is a
failure

10 most of the men, for it only means
rest from duty. Once in while we fine
Il sensitive fellow VINO thinks that he il
disgraced forever if the irons touch him.
The hardship comes when they are con-
fined in irons on bread and water, and
have seen men almost starved on this
diet The irons are either double or sim
gle, the former being on both hands and
legs and the latter on either. In the case
of double irons the feet are usually
chained to the deck, through an iron
ring. This generally prevents them from
standing, while their hands are manaclcd
in their laps.
Occasionally it was found good
thing to scare man thoroughly, and
then he might expect to be sent to the
yard arm and made to sit astridc it for
certain period. He might be placed on
the yard itself (as the illustration shows
or on the arm, which projects from the
yard. This would give him stay to
grasp, which would be of immense value
as the ship rolled and tossed and slung
him from side to side. This was always
great fun for the crew on deck, so it did
not have n very good result as an ex-
ample. Once in while man fell off
and was hurt, but sometimes, in order to
prevent that, his feet were tied together
under the yard. There was another
punishment something allied to this
called the "spread eagle" a man would
be put up in the rigging and made to
