A queer natural history fairy tale comes
from Scotland At Haddington a cat gave
birth to four kittens, and with her off
spring took up her abode in the garden
summer house. Three of the kittens were
removed, and the lady of the house, on Wis
itingthe summer house the next day, was
surprised to find that the fourth kitten
had also disappeared. Search was made,
but to no avail. Several days passed, and
the attention of the inmates was attracted
by the somewhat stealthy movements of
the mother cat, when it was seen to go re-
peatedly to a thick arch of honeysuckle in
the garden. Here the missing kitten was
found safely ensconced in IL blackbird's
nest. A better retreat could not have been
chosen, as the nest was fully seven feet
from the ground and in the thickest part
of the honeysucllle. Here the kitten re-
manned apparently comfortable in it's novel
quarters.-Boston journal.

Laryngitis is an Inflammation of the
larynx, the organ of the voice. This in
Illumination would not be specially danger
Gus but for the narrowness of the "chink"
in the larynX and the unyielding character
of the surrounding walls. The sucking
caused by the Inflammation as it crowds
inward tends to obstruct and even to close
the opening. In many cases the danger is
further increased by a frequent spasmodic
action of the laryngeal muscles, somewhat
as in whooping cough.
Laryngitis may be either acute or
chronic. The acute form is the more imme-
diately dangerous, but different cases of
the acute form differ greatly in this re-
spect, according as the inflammation is
confined to the mucous membrane or ex-
tends to the tissues beneath.-Youth's
Companion.

The Northwest's Recognition.

The favorite editorial just now in papers
published in the upper left hand corner OF
the state has this caption: "The Northwest
Gets There in Good Shape" 1t is regarded
as a brand new subject for the region in
question and the treatment of it is generally
in double-leaded language and matter -
Estate Journal.
The papers of the eastern and south
eastern portions of the state apparent
" fail to realize the reasons we have
in this section for rejoicing over a
proper recognition OF our claims on
some of the public honOrs. We have
a right to be elated and talk it out in
double-leaded emphasis if we wish.
For years the northwest has asked and
the Arkansas Valley has received. The
northwest has voted and worked and
been turned off with some petty clerk
ship. At last the republicans of this
section have made a united fight for
recognition-and got it. No more
than the northwest's just dues have
been secured; it is entitled to every
particle of glory, honor and patronage
received, but we are glad to get our
rights and we hope that the future
will show that we are able to hold
them

Nobly Done.

The republican state convention has
finished it's work well and the ticket
which will be found at the head of
these columns is one which will be re-
ceived with rejoicing by the republi-
cans the state over. Not only was the
convention the largest in the history
of the state and hence the most repre-
sentative but it was harmonious
throughout and was characterized by
a unanimity not often seen.
The denomination of the one term
officers was expected and was de-
served recognition of the excellent add
ministration given by Governor Hum
phrey and his associates in the capt.
toll. The nominations of G. NJ. HOvey,
of Thomas county, and S. G.. Slower,
of Republic, for auditor and treasurer
were more than pleasing to the north
| west which has suffered SO long and so
severely from the wholesale absorption
of everything in the gift of the state by
the Arkansas Valley. a new era
seems to be dawniug OH the northwest
and it will give the grand party which
has made Kansas the glorious common
wealth that it is greater majority
than ever.
The breaking of the influence OF the
Arkansas valley politicians and the Sc
curing of recognition for the northwest
shows what can be done by Organiza-
ton. Up to two years ago the north
west republicans were a scattering and
uninfluential crowd, unrecOgnized in
state councils. Then chiefly through
the management of the Hon. ]. R.
Burton, of Abilene, there was union
formed and fight was made for Wal
rOnd fol- speaker. 1t failed but it
brought the factions together aud pre-
pared for future victory. Now the full
fruitage has come and the northwest
is getting its share. Tie REFLECTOR
has fought in the front ranks of the
progressive papers of this section for
the result and is consequently rejOiced
at the outcome.
The state platform adopted by the
convention is a model. 1t is broad
enough for all and it places the repnb-
lican party of Kansas in the position of
advocating the true interests of the
state.
The REFLECTOR takes pleasure in
putting up the republican state ticket.
1t is one to be proud of, one to work
enthusiastically for, one which will be
certainly elected in entirety when the
ballots fall in a white-leaved shower all
over Kansas two months hence.

For the benefit of the REFLECTOR we will
say that the little ten cent per capita will
put in the peoples central committee treas
ury about $780, Do you know what that
means? 1t means $500 votes for the peoples
ticket on November 4th.-[Alliance Monitor.
How do the farmers of Dickinson
county like being accused as above by
the peoples party candidates (who are
editing the Monitor) of being purchas-
able at 10 cents piece? The Polkites
not only show their own bad sense but
insult the farmers of the county when
they make such charges. 1t is the
first time in the history of Dickinson
county that bold charge of buying
votes has ever been made and it will
react on the makers.

Speaking of office-seekers not being
nominated by the peoples party what
is the matter with Ives, their candi-
date fol attorney general? In 1866 he
was a citizen, it appears, of Minnesota,
and ran for attorney general on the
democratic ticket, being, of course, de-
feated. He was born in Vermont, NOV
ed to Ohio, thence to Upton, Iowa,
from there to McLead in the same
state, next to Minnesota, and finally,
two years ago, tried his luck once more
by coming to Kansas. Scarcely wait
ing to get the car dust off his clothes, he
mounted the stump for the democratic
party and ranted himself hoarse against
prohibition, which he had discovered
by his long residence of some odd weeks
in Kansas, to be a demnition failure.
And now he wants to serve the dear
farmers! Consistency is good deal of
a paste jewel in the peoples party this
year,

The farmers alliance meeting al
Hope Wednesday was in one respect a
remarkable incongruity. The people who
took part in it drove into town in car
riages, buggies and handsome spring
wagons; the men wore "store-clothes'
and the women were as neatly dressed
as their city sisters; the horses were
sleek and well fed; the men carried
gold and silver watches in their peck
cts and the women had no lack of
ornaments; the dinner baskets were
loaded to OVERLOOKING and their con-
tents showed that good living was no
novelty; the speakers were dressed in
the latest city styles and had the ap-
pearance of Well-to. do men of the world.
And yet these people protested that
the farmer is 'dOwntrodden" and "er.
shaved" that he is suffering untold
pangs of hunger and distress; the
speakers mopped their brows as they
labored to picture the degradation of
their hearers and the listeners applaud
ed the fiercest remarks. Then the speak
ers went down town and put up at the
best hotel in the city; the farmers
families chatted awhile, saw the fair,
did some shopping and went home.
The suffering of the farmers was
not apparent to the closest observer.

"An Over but the Shouting.

New York Sun: Gen. John B. Cor
don, the governor of Georgia, is one Of
the shrewdest politicians of the south,
understanding as we'll as any one the
ways and impulses of his constituents,
gifted with the ability to tolerate or
even caress any sentiment whose
ephemeTal character need not evoke
from a far-seeing statesman a needless
conflict which might leave serious
troubles behind it and to hold his own
principles in check until their assertion
would De desirable, an avowed candi-
date for United States Senator and he
has Just denounced the sub treasury
scheme, substantially the entire plat
form and the only rational explanation
of tile existence of the farmers alli-
ance.
The farmers alliance has already
captured GeOrgia's politics, so far as
that could be achieved by nominating
an alliance candidate for governor in
the democratic state convention. The
alliance wave rolled higher and less
curled over Georgia than over any
other state in which it had gathered
Roadway. Though the sub-treasury
plan is not unanimously received with
in The order, yet it is the only PROPOSE
tion which can in any way identify the
farmers alliance from this or that
other party. 1t is the focus of the
farmer excitement. Whether accepted
or not, without it the organization
would become a clam0ring crowd, with
no perceptible purpose than to shout
its dissatisfaction with things in gen.
eral and without discrimination. Such
is the measure which Gen. Gordon,
after long and careful reflection and
observation of his own surroundings,
has declared himself opposed to.
The only sensible deduction from
this fact is that the farmers alliance,
as a political agitation, has already
reached that stage of dissolution when
all is over but the shouting. When its
single representative idea can be boldly
condemned in the state where it has
been strongest, most aggressive and
most successful, the bottom of the
movement must have dropped out.

The nomination of Park Warren by
the democrats OF this district for con-
gress is gratifying so far as it is re-
cognition of Dickinson county and is a
personal compliment to Mr.. Warren,
There is not the remOteSt possibility
of the gentleman's election but he is
capable of getting as much glory and
fun out of the canvass as the next man
and will gain considerable prestige
among his brethren. Mr.. Warren is
a large improvement on the antiquated
wind-bag Tobey, whom the democrats
ran two years ago, but we have it on
good authority that like Tobey he will
make his campaign cry: 1.-The If
is a t-X.''

A Boomerang Argument.

LOOK at our bonded warehouses"
say the free traders. "They are
packed with foreign goods, which will
soon be thrown on the market, taking
the place of American products, and
keeping many home manufactures
idle. Behold the result of protection
as embodied in the Mckinley bill!''
This is an argument that will return
to plague its inventors, the democracy.
The Mckinley bill is not law yet. 1t
proposes more adequate protection in
certain lines of manufacture, and in
anticipation of its passage there has
been a rush of imports of those goods
on which it is probable that the duties
will be raised. Every days delay in
in congress has increased this inward
flow of foreign products. IL is this de-
lay, for which the free traders are
mainly responsible, that has filled the
bonded warehouses. When the bill is
passed the imports will be checked.
They will, for a short time, glut the
American markets, and put a good
deal of money in the pockets of the
importers. But when the pressure is
relieved home manufacturing will
spring into activity, and the policy OF
protection will be justified. The pres
ent rush of imports is simply squirt
on the part of the foreign manufacture
ers. The movement will soon collapse,
and the fact will be made plain that it
was the absence, not the operation. OF
the strengthened protective tariff that
temporarily filled our markets with
imported goods.

harangue for two solid hours of the
