A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage OF Presence Of Mind
In an Emergency.

During the late strike on tho New
York Central Railroad, the militia were
ordered to be in readiness in case Of q
riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon ex-
cept in case OF an emergency. The emer-
gency had not arisen, therefore they
would not be ordered out. He remarked
that this was the first great strike with
which he had had experience, and he
did not propose to lose his head; the
only point at which there had been &C.
rious trouble was at Syracuse, and there
q deputy sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks,
and there was riotous action at various
points along the road, but the civil
authorities were able to cope with it
without calling on the militia.
The test of mans real ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes
hasty call on his good judgment and
discretion. The man who retains his
presence of mind, maintains his equi-
poise and exercises sound discretion at
such critical junctures, is to be relied
on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not faltsr in the face
Of danger. Otis A. Cole, Of Kinsman,
O., June 10, 1890, writes: "In the fall
Of 1858 I was feeling very i'll. I con-
suited doctor and he said I had
Bright's disease of the kidneys and
that he would not stand in my shoes
for the state of Ohio" But he did not
lose courage or give up; he says: II
saw the resmmonial Of Mr.. John Cole
man, 100 Gregory st., New Haven,
Conn, and I wrote to him. In due
time I received an answer, stating that
the testimonial that he gave was genu-
inc and not overdrawn in any particu-
lar. took a good many bottles of
Warmers Safe Cure; have not taken any
for one year."
Gov. Hill is accounted very success
full man; he is cool and calculating and
belongs to the class that do not lose
their heads when emergencies arise.

a WoRp oF COUNSEL

EDITOR KANSAS FARMER:-It is nov
. matter OF primary Importance that
the people. with minds intent on re-
form in securing more wise and just
Legislation and an economical admins
tration in state and national govern
ment, do not allow themselves and their
attention diverted from their purpose
in this campaign by the misrepresenta-
tions. sophistry, and abuse of partisan
papers and partisan speakers. Now is
the time for men to stand true to their
honest convictions. It is an opportune
time for the advancement OF truth and
justics, and much honor is due men who
have the courage to. free themselves
from party prejudice, and labor and
vote according to the dictates of their
own judgment and conscience. THIS is
true, Notwithstanding the recent imbe-
cile utterances of Senator ingalls, in his
speech at Pittsburg. No sensible man
can read that speech with any increased
respect for the speaker. And right
here We may appropriately quote the
following:
ITO the cant about the Phariseeism
OF reform, there is one short and final
answer. The man who tells the truth
is holier man than the liar. The man
who does not steal is better man than
the thief. The senator from Massachu-
setts, declaring that politics are moral
principles applied to public affairs. is a
truer patriot than the senator from
Kansas, declaring that decalogue and
the golden rule have no place in a
political campaign"
Men aroused by sense of injustice.
in their, zeal to reform existing evils
and free themselves from unjust bur-
dens, are liable to make some mistakes.
We would expect them to err in some
things; but there is cause for rejoicing
and hope for good results in the up.
rising of the people at this time to de-
feat the further encroachments of sell
fish efforts to deprive them of liberty
and property. All men loyal to the best
interests of the country should lend
their influence to speed this good work,
that the cause of truth and justice may
prevail. Men must beware of the influ.
ence of the personal abuse of candidates
by partisan press and public speakers
in this campaign. One man cannot be
made saint by attempts to prove that
the other man is sinner; this is es-
pecially true in the Seventh congress
sional district.
Should the farmers alliance fail to
elect it's ticket this year, it will not
have labored in vain. The country will
owe it debt OF gratitude for its good
influence in enlishtening the people
and in checking and restraining selfish
and dishonest legislation. Let the good
work go on, though there be some
errors made; it has for its foundation a
existing wrongs and an honest
lesire to remedy public evils. and sue
,ess Will eventually reward the effort

A CURIOUS COMPLICATION.
A Liquor License Case Which Presents
Some Very Peculiar Features.

Assessor Trimbie today called the attention
OF the District Commissioners to a peculiar
case. 1t seems that March a. 1890, John
sweeney made application for q retail liquor
license Ills application was rejected June Q
on the report OF the lieutenant of police in that
precinct that the actual proprietor Of the place
was Eugene Sweeney, father Of the applicant
who is minor attending school. John Sweeney
was immediately notified and requested to
withdraw his deposit. but did not apply until
August l6. He stated that he had never made
an application (although tho sworn statement
OF some one purporting to be John Sweeney is
on file) and says he don't know who did. 1t is
evident, says the assessor, that the application
was made with fraudulent intent and naturally
the interested parties are father and son.
Meanwhile. continues the assessor, Eugene has
made application for a wholesale license
(now pending). The question is, con-
tnues the assessor, as the son IN whose
name the deposit is admits he is a minor
and says he never made it and denied his sig
nature to the sworn petition. can he recover a
deposit he claims he never made? On the con-
trary should he be prosecuted in the Police
Court for doing business without license he
will claim he applied for his deposit and could
not obtain it. although more than two months
have elapsed since notification Another phase
of tho question. says the assessor is that some
body is evidently doing business at the loca-
ton named. Who is it?
The assessor ends by requesting the refer
ence OF the matter to the police for statement
of the facts.
