SimDle StinuIantS,

Not few people declare that when slim
ulant is needed after any cold or wetting, il
may be found in hot milk which is quite as
ellcacioUs for the purpose as wine OF whisky.
Many society women, after the fatigue of
long and wearisome receptions or a hard day
OF calls and social duties, when they come in
too tired to dress for the next engagement,
revive their sinking strength with a cupful
Of boiling milk drunk in little sips, as hot as
it can possibly be taken.
A noted English physician says that when
tagged out with professional work, he re-
cruits his strength by eating raisins

A monkey became weak sighted in old age,
He had heard mon say that this misfortune
was one of no great Importance, one must
merely provide ones self with glasses. SO he
gets half a dozen pairs OF spectacles, turns
them now this way and now that puts
them on the top of his head, applies them to
his tail, smells them, licks them, but is aston
ished to find that the spectacleS have no effect
at all on his sight.
Good lack! he cries, what fools they be
who listen to all the nonsense men utter
They've told me nothing but lies about the
spectaclcs There isn't an atom of good in
them"
Here the monkey in his vexation fr1g
them down on stone so violently that they
~7ere utterly broken TO pieces.

Work and Win.

The sweetest cherries, mind you, lad,
Grow highest On the tree
And would You win the fair5at fruit,
One thing III Say to thee;
II falls not at the clicking gay
OF an idler's pelf-
You'll have to climb the rugged tree,
And gather for yourself
Wis win to wait the fruit 10 fall,
Or polt the tree with stones
You'll have To struggle braynly up,
And risk some broken bone;
You only waste your time below,
And get Indifferent pay
II you would reach the ripcst fruit,
just throw your fears away.
Wis so with everything in lifc
That's worth the owning, lad
With learning, wealth and character
The best the good and great have had:
They como not az the nod or hest
OF any idle hand
'Tis only those who bravely toll
May have them ut command
If, then, you want the ripest fruit,
just labor till you win;
But mind thee, boy, while up you climb,
Keep heart and band from sin;
The hest and grlndest guerdon, lad,
II bought with wicked wage,
No peace and comfort yields at last,
Bslt curses on your sge.

The Ten Travellers.

Ten weary, foot5ore travellers,
All in woful plight,
Sought shelter ut wayside inn
One dark and stormy night.
"Nins rooms, no more, the landlord said,
"Have I 70 offer you;
To each OF eight single bed,
But the ninth must serve for two"
A din arose. The troubled host
Could only scratch his head,
For Of those tired men no two
Would occupy one bed.
The puzzled host was soon at ease
He was a clever man,
And so to please his guests devised
This most ingenious plan:

IF THE BABY WE'RE A BARD.
BE kind TO the baby,
For when chou art old
Who'll nurse thee 80 tender as he
Who'll catch the first accents
That fall from thy tongue
Or laugh at thy innocent CLEO,
Rock-a-bye, papa,

When the wind blows
The cradle will rock;
When the bough bends
The cradle will fall
Down will come papa
And cradle and all.
Bye, Mamma bunting,
Baby's gone a-hunting,
Gone to get rabbit skin
To wrap the Mamma Bunting in.

Alliance Platform.

The following seven demands
were adopted at the st. Louis con-
vention, December, 1889, as the
platform of the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union:
1. We demand the abolition Of nation
al banks and the substitution OF legal
tender treasury notes in lieu of national
bank notes, issued in sufficient volume to
do the business of the country on cash
system, regulating the amount needed on
a per capita basis as the business interests
OF the country expand; and that all money
issued by the government shall be legal
tender in payment OF all debts, both pub
lie and private.
2 We demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver.
3. We demand that congress shall pass
such laws as shall effectually prevent the
dealing In futures in all agricultural and
mechanical productions, preserving such
a stringent system Of procedure in trials
as shall secure prompt conviction and
imposing such penalties as shall secure
the most perfect compliance with the
law.
4. We demand the passage Of laws pro-
hibiting alien ownership of land, and that
congress take early steps to devise some
plan to obtain all lands now owned by
aliens aud foreign syndicates; and that
all lands now held by railroads and other
corporations In excess of such as are actu-
ally used and needed by them, be re-
claimed by the government and held for
actual settlers only.
5. Believing IN the doctrine Of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none" we demand that taxation, national
or state, shall not be used TO build up one
interest or class at the expense of another.
We believe that the money OF the country
should be kept as much as possible In
the hands of the people, and hence We de-
mand that all revenues, national, state or
county, shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government economically
and honestly administered.
6. We demand that congress provide
for the issue of sufficient amount OF
fractional paper currency to facilitate ex-
change through the medium OF the United
States mail.
Z. We demand that the means OF COM
munication and transportation shall be
owned by and operated in the interest Of
the people, as is the United States postal
system.
The Kansas F. A. and |. q. add to
the above these:
8. We demand such legislation as shall
effectually prevent the extortion OF usur-
ions interest by any form OF evasion OF
statutory provisions.
9. We demand such legislation as will
provide for reasonable stay of execu-
ton In all cases Of foreclosure of mortga-
ges on real estate, and a reasonable ex-
tension Of time before the confirmation OF
sheriff sales,
10. We demand such legislation as will
efectually prevent the organization or
of trusts and combines for
purposes of speculation in any of the pro-
ducts OF labor or necessities or life, o. the
transpOrtion of the same.

Will the Republican, or some other pro-
found Latin, German University scholar
please enlighten the people OF Logan
county as to the present status OF their
suit with Trego county and how it came
to be 50? What the people particularly
wish are some points about the referees
decision, the facts in regard to its being
filed. if Logan county now has any show
for an appeal; also, who manipulated the
affair and for what purpose and how
much the whole thing Will cost the coun-
ty in addition to the fee OF the referee
who was recommended by Judge Osborn.
We hardly expect the ReSH6lioa" to come
forward with this information, for "show
down" might implicate some of its ring
friends.-OaHey Graphic.
We concede the right of the
Graphic to support Mr.. Rathbone if
it wants to, but we do not concede
the right of any journal to employ
such methods and at the same time
claim to be fair and honest. Judge
Osborn had no more to do with the
appointment of the referee than did
Bro. Kinney himself. The attOr-
neys for Logan and Trego counties
agreed upon Mr.. Hurd as referee
and of course under those cireum-
stances the court could do naught
but appoint him. The records in
the case show these facts. The in
situation in the above article is that
Judge Osborn helped manipulate the
matter in the interest of Trego coun-
ty, and such reckless statements will
do the Graphic'S candidate more
harm than good, as the people gener-
ally like to see fair play, at least.

The EiftY-first conuress.

The Fifty-frst congress, which
has just adjourned, has been the
most remarkable, considering the
volume of business transacted, that
has convened for sixteen years.
At the beginning of the session
the opposition announced its inten-
ton of preventing any legislation in
the way of reforms, fearing the eff
feet it might have upon the party at
the coming elections. That they at
tempted to carry out their policy of
obstruction is a matter of history.
How they endeavored to adjourn;
how they piled up motion after mo-
ton to amend, to recommit and all
the dilatory motions they could
think of for the purpose of con-
Stunning time; and finally, how they
occupied their seats in the house and
refused to be counted so as not to
have quorum for the transaction
of business. All these obstructive
tactics to check legislation are well
remembered, and yet, in the face of
all these obstacles and distractions,
the Republican party has redeemed
its pledges to the people and Repub-
lican promises have been carried out.
Taking into consideration the DIFF
ficulties it had co Surmount and the
legislation actually performed and
the Fifty-frst congress will go on
record as one of the most useful
ever held.
For the first time in sixteen years
has the Republican party had entire
control of the Legislative department
and at the very first opportunity
they have redeemed their pledges.

than to prejudice. The platforms

What Has He Done?

The question is frequently asked:
"What has John J. Ingalls, done?"
1t would take more space than we
have at our disposal to answer that
question, but we will endeavor to
tell few of the things that he has
done in the interests of the western
laboring man and of the masses
generally.
John ]. Ingalls, supported the free
coinage of silver bill and in its dis
cussion said: "Gold is The money of
monarchs and was in open alliance
with our enemies in the civil war.
The public debt is payable in silver,
and if the money unit should be es-
tablished in the metal least subject
to huctuation that metal is silver"
John ]. ingalls, favored the bill to
forfeit unearned grants of land to
railroads and make them a portion
of the public domain.
John J. ingalls, has always op-
posed Chinese emigration as against
the interest of the American wage
worker.
John j. Ingalls, opposed the en-
ployment Of foreign contract labor
in the United States, thereby cut
ting down the wages of our own
workmen.
John J. Ingalls,, with all the
strength of his mighty intellect, at
tackled the systems of options and
speculations in grain and succeeded
in passing most stringent bill to
control bucket-shops and spectators
in produce.
John ]. ingalls, has always been
special champion of the soldiers in
terest in the United States Senate.
There never was bill introduced In
the interest of the soldier that he
did not advocate.
These are only a few of the things
that John j. ingalls, has done, and it
is well known that no senator nor
representative in congress has given
his time more freely in looking af-
ter the wants of his constituents
than has John ]. ingalls,. No man
from Kansas, no matter how hum
bic, ever addressed a communica-
ton to him requesting assistance to
which he did not respond. There
are thousands of homesteaders and
Iaboring men generally who can
bear cheerful testimony to this
statement, and the old soldier es-
peciallv was never turned empty
away. He has been true and loyal
friend to Kanas to whom he owes
his high elevation and which ne ap-
preciates to the highest degree.
