THE ORPHANS HOME.

We had occasion a few days ago to
visit the orphans home, corner OF
Eleventh and Quincy streets, in this
city, to Investigate the truthiulness
of certain reports that had gained
currency in relation to the treatment
Of the children. We were afforded
every opportunity of investigation
and inquiry and given the privilege
Of private conversation with the chill
dren themselves who had been re-
ported as i'll treated. We are most
thoroughly satisfied that the reports
are entirely without foundation, and
that the unfortunate children com
mitted TO the care of this institution
are kindly treated and as well cared
for as the means OF the institution
will permit The home is supported
by private contributions, with the OK
ception of $S5 per month, received
from the county. II is an institution
worthy Of the generous support Of
all charitably disposed people, and
we take pleasure in commencing 1t
to the favorable consideration Of our
readers. Farmers in visiting the
city, can, il SO disposed, often bring
to the home many little contributions
that would not be seriously missed
from the farm, and that would add
greatly to the comfort and JOY Of the
fatherless and motherless little ones,
who are now generously cared for by
IT.

tHE HUTCHINSON NEWS WASHINGTON
BUREAU.

Announcer three column contribution
Of pfofuDdity and originality again
graces the columns Of the Ne,cs from
,ts esteemed Washington Bureau
The prOiundity is manifest IN tho
recital OF the Bureaus" unsuccessful
attempt 10 interview Congressman
John A, Anderson. The weightiness
Of this effort must be read TO be APP
preoiRted. The columns Of TRE AD-
vooATE will hardly standth strain Of
reproduction, important as is It's
bearing on the great issues before
our people. Suffice ii 10 Say that
Mr.. Anderson succeeded In eludmg
the "BUreau's' attempted interview,
Obiectlhg doubtless TO being served
DIP personally, and also TO answering
the qtery as to the manner in which
he employed bis time between his
rising aud his breakfast hours, The
Bureau" was more fortunate with
Senator Ingalls, She succeeded in
asCertslning the fact that the senator
performs two solemn ceremonies be-
fore breakfast, shaving himself and
writing TO his wife" But Mr. An
detsOh doubtless shares the distaste
which genuinely refined people en-
tettaln concerning the vulgarity Of
paradlng trivial, personal happenings,
and Of being made the victim Of full
some adulation.
The originality Of the "Bureau's0
contribution consists in relating a
story OF doubtful elegance concerning
d Kansas granger who went to Wash
ihgtOn an ahti-tngalls man, but was
converted by taking peep into the
senator's committee room and behold
ing the size Of the mail which Mr..
Ingalls, clerk was attending TO- The
capitol guide who escorted the afore-
said granger inquired as follows:
whats the matter with Ingalls?" "Matter?"
snOrted the granger, "Plenty's the matter lie
never comes 10 Kansas, and we want u man
that'll stay in his own country once In awhile.
"Ah,' said the guide ironically, you mean q
crOaker like yourself; fellow that win slt In
front Of CrOss-rOad corner grocery ON a store
box and lombard box Of sand with tobacco
Juice and swap Hes with few more cOngenial
spirits"
We trust that the Kansas grgngers
will appreciate the photograph which
the Bureau" presents Of one Of their
number,
Now Of course all readers Of The
ADVOCATE are aware that the grounds
of objection to Senator IugRlls are
that ''he never comes TO Kansas"
And they are also familier with the
dry goods box" argument. EARLY
in the history of the alliance move
ment in Kansas, the sole stock in
trade of the opposition newspapers
was the charge that the farmers who
were complaining about hard times
were shiftless, e1travagant, idle
set, who would better stay at home
and attend to "deep ploWing" instead
of dabbling in politics.

er" been allowed TO read some Of the

THE FOURTH DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL

The Emporia Republican treats the
nomination Of J. q. Otis as a mere
empty honor, and claims TO think that
tho farmers are 10 we'll satisfied with
Mr.. Kelley that they have determined
TO return him 10 second term, and
have merely named Mr.. Otis as a
matter OF formality, having no serious
intention OF supporting him. Since
the Republican began TO speak the
truth concerning Mr.. Ingalls, we have
been trying 10 respect it's judgment
and credit its sincerity, but really we
doubt it's honesty in this matter, We
believe Mr. Eskridge knows better
than this, II he does not he may az
well be enlightened Mr. Otis has
not been led into the arena to be
slaughtered, and il Mr. Eskridge
doubts the result of the contest we
sugge8t that he consult bis files and

THE LEGISLA71HE CONTEST.

Advocates of Mr.. NJ. G. Hurley, in
urging his election to the legislature,
declare that, but for Democracy, the
Albuquerque road would have been built.
Since Mr.. Hurley's connection with the
Albuquerque is used to boost his political
fortunes, it cannot be deemed auiss to
say what scores of men in Fort worth
know, viz: That the Albuquerque road
would now be running but for Mr.. Hur-
lev g connection with it. Mr.. Hurley is
not known as town builder by the
people of this city, and their apathy In
the matter of the Albuquerque is q result
a few men declare that, in building the
natatorium, James Swayne did more for
Fort Worth than Mr.. Hurley ever did
or ever will do. Before the advo-
Gates of Mr.. Hurley endeayored to mix
his railroad building with politics they
should have hunted up and paraded one
single monument to his work in behalf
of this city. Mr.. Hurley is an estimable
gentleman and of very fine business
qualifications, hut no one ever &C
cused him of wasting these on the city to
the neglect of his individual interests
and it may be truly said that but for
Mr.. Hurley not Democracy the Albu-
oueruue road would have been built.
THE GAZETTE has kept silence on Mr..
Hurley's candidacy till now, when his
friends seek to conceal the true cause of
the Albuquerque failure by proclamation
of fault in the Democracy; and now that
the matter has been forced on discussion.
there are many reasons why Mr.. Hurley
! should not be voted for. He has
never done anything for this ely
that entities him to the support OF its
| people: he has never done anything for
his party that entities him to Its support:
and il he could be elected he would have
no influence in body so overwhel mingly
| Democratic, and Tarrant county would
be practically without representation.
This county and city have had an expe-
rience in this matter of representation al
Austin that invest them with a material
interest IN the election of Mr.. Swayne.

4 LIFE FOR A LIFE.
Story OF the Battle All siege OF Liking son,
Missouri.

Story OF the Battle All siege OF Lexington,
Missouri.
Globe-Democrat.
A number of good stories were told at
the late meeting of the survivors Of the
battle and siege of Lexington. One of
them was as follows:
DR.. Bluthardt, then q young doctor
fresh from college, was in charge of the
hospital, a large, fashionable mansion
Owned by one Anderson. One day he
was pulled uncsr, enormously through
hole in the base 10y hard looking
rebel, who marched the doctor TO large
tree tied him to il and skipped of to use
lis victim as a target. This Iiqued the
brave surgeon and he exclaimed:
:You coward, you'll Give me a re-
volv-r, let us walk i've PAGES, turn and
fire.
At this iuncture a manly young Con-
Tolerate walked up, and, taking in the
situation at once, exclaimed:
"You sroundrel! did not come all
the way from Kentucky TO fight with
such he-devils as you! Release the man
or will Llow your black heart out!'
The doctor thanked his defender and
walked off with his prisoner. He WAS
taken uptown, Toasted with Gen. Price,
and was next morning given an escort
and marched back to mis- hospital. That
afternoon the charge was made upon the
hospital. The Union men were quick to
resent the uumilitary action, closed III
upon the Confederate forces and a melee
ensued Inside the hospital, where the
rebels ! ere either bayoneted or taken
PRISONERS. DR.. Blu;hGrdt hastened up
stairs TO see about the sick AMI dying
men. The room was full of smoke and
he could scarce see his own hands before
his face. Two men rushed toward him
and cried tFor God . sake, save Us!
The doctor placed them both
| beneath 8 BLANKET which part
iaIly covered Union man
whose leg had been sho' through,
| and they lay there until dark. In the
meanwhile the Union forces had searched
the house for stray rebels. with strict
| orders to show them no quarter. When
| the smoke OF battle had cleared off, DR..
Bluthardt went upstairs TO release his
| prisoners, and in one of them recognized
| his defender of the day before, who had
saved his life. He released them both
escorted them through the lines, and
babe them good-by.
At the meeting of the survivors
| of the battle and seige of Lex
| ington, he for the first time learned that
| that man was Clip Mansur, the
banker of Chillicothe, Mo. brother OF
| the congressman.

ABOUT A CHANGE IN STATE POL.


ITICS.
The remark il not infrequeDtly heard
coming from honest and well-meaning
gentlemen that politics in Texas is too
one sided, and that the state would be in
fur better condition IL the disproportion
between the two parties, Republican and
Democratic, was less than it is. just
why it should be SO is cot made very
LEAR. II would perhaps puzzle one OF
these gentlemen to explain how 1t is that
a change in the political opinions and
sentiments Of considerable portion OF
the Democratic voters of the state, sue
as would about equalizs the voting
strength of the two parties, would make
the average citizen more enterprising,
ingenious and progressive than he Is now.
Suppose so 900 or 900 Democrats
should suddenly become imhued with
Republican notions, and rend the air
with hallelujahs for Web. Flanagan and
the Mckinley bill. How much better
citizens, farmers, artisans and laborers
would they be, and how would the state
profit by their flop? Is there some occult
ana my sterious potency in Republicanism
that ouickens men 3 energies and stimu-
| Iates activity? Can it cause two
blades of grass to grow where
only one grows now, or bring
mama down from heaven in
showers, or water from the smitte n
rock? Will it go transform or alter
ones moral nature, as to make an ao-
tive and enterprising rustler of shift
less and indolent ne'sr-do-wsll? Will it
transmute laziness into industry, and
stupidity into acumen? Will it meta
morphose the mossback, and Danish old
fogyism? Will it make men more moral
and religious, AMI add to the sum of
human happiness? In word, will It
make US all, as early rising is errone :
| ously said to do, healthy, wealthy and
wiser If it has the power to do those
things, or any OF them, well aud good :.
