republican papers Of the state ol
Kansas that recognize the true condi-
tion OF It's agricultural interests and
the imperitivo necessity OF a change.
They see the justice Of the demands
made by the Farmers Alliance and
acknowledge that the cause Of all this
depression is to be found in vicious
Legislation. They admit that change
can only be wrought through a
change OF political leaders and rev.
olution OF our present suicidal fnan-
cial policy. While admitting all this
they nevertheless, insist that tho re-
publican party is the true friend Of
the farmer, and that the needed re-
form should be accomplished through
that party. We desire TO say at tho
beginning of this article, that the al
lance is not very particular through
what agency the necessary changes
are effected, If it could be known
with certainty that desired relief is
to come. We are led to these rehec-
tions by reading an article from the
pen of the Hon. p. l. Bonebrake, in
the Capital Of the 18th inst. How
any respectable republican journal
can expect the farmers OF this state
to undertake through that party the
reforms they seek to inaugurate,
while such men as Mr.. Bonebrake
are recognized as party leaders and
educators of public sentiment is a
question for them TO solve. IL re-
publican journals that are 80 solic-
itous for the continued ascendency Of
their party would exhibit a little con-
sistoncy by throwing this class OF
men overheard, and maniiesting On
honest purpose to aid in the work
which the farmer has undertaken, by
presenting honest men who are iden-
titled with farmers interests for re-
form leaders, under the new dispen-
sation, there would be little disposi-
tion or desire FOR the organization Of
new parties. It is the disposition to
cling to these old political dema-
gogues, and keep them to the front
as true representatives of the policy Of
the party, that creates that distrust
in the minds Of the people, as to the
sincerity OF these journals, which is
likely TO result in a general breaking
up OF all the old parties, and a rally
around new leaders who have the
merit at least of not having been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting.
Let us, with candor and Calmness,
hold up the sophistry Of this would
be political luminary, to the light Of
day. Mr.. Bonebrake says;
"Many Of us have been here ever since Kansas
has been state, and some Of us prior to that
time. In 1867, while the pioneers were poor,
without the necessarles Of life, they were over
run by border mfians and lives and property
we're acrnced but never, In all their trials,
were they ready TO give up nor TO 20 back upon
the name and fame OF Kansas. In 1860 when
drouth had almost starved the people, they kept
their faith and courage up, and amidst famine
and suffering they chung " their new homes. In

men who erected all the grand
churches Of our magnificent cities,
have the audacity TO visit them, clad
in their unPretentious garb, they are
made to feel the contempt with which
they are regarded by the aristO-
cratic occupants OF their pews.
II is true our granaries are filed
to over-fowing, but what IS il all
worthl Mr.. Bonebrake introduces a
comparison which is worthy of much
thought-not however in the pre-
else line that he indicates. What a
satisfaction IL must be-, indeed, to the
Kansas farmer, TO know that farmers
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Virginia, are looslng their homes by
foreclosure Of mortgages. The pusil-
aRimous sophistry of such reason
ing deserves the contempt Of silence,
rather than respectable mention.
We knOU that the hardships Of Kan
sas farmers are not exceptional. All
parts Of the country are suffering
alike from the same causes, and those
causes are the vicious Legislation OF
the last thirty years, for which the
unscrupulous demagogues Of both
political parties are responsible.
Then, again we are told that the
cause Of hard times in the east, is
the failure Of crops; while in Kansas,
il is over-produCtion; and this sense
less twaddle is reiterated day after
day for the delectation Of the people
and TO detract attention from the
real causes that underlie all the de-
preston from which every American
industry is suffering, and to cover up
the iniquity Of the parties that are
responsible for it all.
Mr. Bonebrake asks: "How is il
with US to day7 The answer is that
WE meet daily in our lodges and alli-
ances, and pass resolutions that we
are bankrupt, and propose repudia-
tion." The gentleman is q little too
promiscuous in his use Of the pro-
noun "tUe." We think if he could
meet with few Of these alliances for
a short time, they would teach him
better sense than he has manifested
yet in any communication he has Civ
en- to the public. These alliances
have a way Of educating the people,
that show wonderful results, even
with very dull students, and their
schooling might not be entirely lost
even on him, if its practicability was
consistent with the rules and laws of
the order.
Does Mr.. Bonebrake think that the
farmers do not know whether they
are bankrupt or not7 If the farmers
themselves say that their farms are
mortgaged, and that they have de-
preciated in value until they would
not sell for enough to pay the mort
gage, will Mr.. Bonebrake's denial of
that fact satisfy the people Of this
country that he is correct! 1t would

But the true reward came after the

Father, you will love your SON."

A FEMININE TENOR.

Doub'e Register.
A pure tenor is like fawlcss dia-
mond; there is nothing rarer. Yet
within the past week the operate man
ayers Of New York claim to have dis
covered something even more remark
able. 1t is nothing less than a femi-
nine tenor with double register. The
lady is Miss c. +. Nicolai, IA native Of
Baltimore, where she is well known and
moves in the highest society. Wealthy
and passionately fond of music, Miss
Nicolai has had every opportunity for
the cultivation Of her voice.
Some of her teachers in Baltimore
concluded that she had a contraIto
register, but famous New York pro-
fessor who trains pupils for the operate
stage and who has lately had the lady
under his care, was not long in making
the startling discovery th&t she had

stylish brunette, about twenty years Of
age. tells an interesting story Of her
struggles with her voice at a .imo when
it was a puzzle to herself and all heI
friends. She said:

A friend who has Just returned from
Paris tells me an amusing and charac-

position there was little railroad, five
miles in length, running around the
grounds. The tracks ran in and out
among the trees and buildings, and SO
near them that passengers head or
arm thrust out of the window was in
danger of being knocked of. To pre-
vent accidents of this sort warnings
were printed on large posters and tackled
up at intervals of few yards along the
entire track. They were printed in al
most every known language, including
Asiatic and African tongues, shorthand
and Volapuk My friend counted over
thirty languages and dialects. You
would have supposed that none was
omitted in such list. But there was
one omission, and very important one.
Not single word of warning was print
ed in German! Some one said to tho
manager of the road: ut looks to me as
though you didn't care whether the Ger
mans got their heads and arms knocked
off or not" lie smiled quiet smile and
replied 1T does look that way, sure

MOHAMM MMEOAN POWER.
The Establishment and Extension of Arab
Dominion in Africa.

But the problem of Arab dominion is
not on the coast at all, but in the in
terror of Africa. On the coast the Eu-
ropean States can make their influence
felt, but it extends no further than
narrow strip of land, beyond which bar
barism reigns supreme. And here we
arrive at one of the most remarkable
phenomena of the age in which we live
and the planet we inhabit The abo-
riginal inhabitants of Central Africa are
savages, sunk in heathenism, afflicted
by the evils and the weaknesses of
savage life, and perhaps inferior in
mental and physical vigor to the strong
er races of mankind. Over them has
passed, like tempest from the east, a
horde of men of another and a stronger
race, which marks them out for slavery
and destruction. The Arab invasion of
Africa is characterized in every part
to which Europeans have penetrated by
desperate yalor in arms, by an utter in
difference to human life, and, above all,
by an enthusiastic and fanatical belief
in the faith of Islam. They remind
us of those ardent followers of the
prophet who, in the first ages
of Mohammedanism bore his blood
stained standard and his intolerant
creed from Spain to the confines
of China, and well-nigh overthrow the
faith and civilization of the ancient
world. Indeed, if we arc not
mistaken. they are the same men
the living inhcritors of the pas
sions. the valor and the faith of
the soldiers of Mohammed. Before the
STRENGTH of the Christian States they arc
now compelled reluctantly to bow; but

ABOUT MOONSTONES.
Ehey Come from India and Arc New
Sold by Weight.


Sold by Weight.
"The word precious can not be APP
piled to moonstones," said well-known
dealer in icNelry, 'bccause their
marketable value is relatively small at
all times. and is still further influenced
BY the decrecs of fashion. For some
wears past we have had bat few calls for
moonstones, but about twelve months
ago they were restored to popular favor
and will probably continue to be much
used for some time to como. The stones
come from India, are easily procured,
and there is but little waste in cutting.
They are almost invariably of blush
white tint the rays Of the most perfect
stones much resembling moonlight
hence the name), those of a less clear
or yelIowish hue being of but little
value. When carved, the clear trans
parency of the stone is of course marred'
but many of them are so embellished,
the man in the moon being fayorlte
device, and baby's face surrounded
with cap of pearls Or diamonds
another"
The moonstone is seldom worn alone
by fashionable people, having usually
an accompanying setting of diamonds or
other precious stones. In response to
question the dealer added "Ihe
LARGEST moonstone | have ever seen was
one of oblong shape about one and three
quarters inches in length and three
quarters of an inch in width. This was
set to represent butterfly with partial"
" closed wings of brilliantly-colored
stones, and was intended to be worn as
a pendant. These stones are not valued
by weight as others are, but simply by
anpearance and size, a perfectly round
stone being more desirable than flat
fer one and more rare"
As the moonstone is tradluonal'y
luckv it is most suitable for souvenirs,
parting and anniversary gifts, and from
nresent indications will be much used
for favors and wedding presents during
the coming gay season.-N. Y. Sun.

Tha MnsI nnsira hln End.

Most people have many things in
which they desire to succeed, innocent
in themselves except when they inter
ferc with a higher aim and worthicr
purpose. 1t is this conflict of aims. this
gradation of duties that makes life
often seem so complex and so difficult.
The questions come continually before
every thoughtful mind: "ls this aim
which | set before me the highest | can
reach? Is it not merely desirable end,
but the most desirable? Is it likely
to lead to still better and worthier
purposes, or is it likely to hide them
from vicw?" As we answer these ques-
tions to ourselves intelligently and con-
scientiously, the rightful limits of each
will become clear, and our desire to
succeed in each will harmonize with
those limits. Thus the desire for pleas
ure will be limited by the desire for
health the care of self by the care for
others, the love of money by the love OF
honor, the effort to please by the effort
to dc right.-N. Y. Ledger.
