A FAMILY FARCE.
Why Farmer Grayson and Uncle
Norman Enjoyed 1t.

The yellow sunshine Of a September
morning shOne in at the open windows
of Gravs0n's commodious farmhouse.
The family were at breakfast. Mr..
Grayson, "A fresh conplexioned, genial
voiced man of forty-fve, his we'll
feshcd form encased in business suit,
ready for an early start to town, sat at
the head of the table lie wore neatly
brushed side whiskcrs carried a dim
pie in his chin and a twinkle In his
blue-gray eye.
His wife would have seemed tall
should she have risen from her seat be-
hind the coffee urn. Her diguifie6 pres
ence, together with the height of her
aristocratic nose and slight backward
pose of hcrhead, indicated adninistra-
tive qualities, while the softness Of her
dark eyes and the sweetness of her
well-modulated 7oice marked her an
attractive gener Il of the household
forces.
Her mother, a sprightly little old
lady, engaged in supplying the mani
fold wants of two half-grown boys,
was at her left. The oldest son, now
nearing the end of his first college
vacation, completed the group

Norman receive the news of our pro-
jected visit. ="
Mr.. Grayson proceeded to read:

The Best Ever Used.

WHITEWATER, WIS, October, 1890.
When II years old my son was first attacked
by epileptic fits, at intervals of one year, then
four months, three months, two months one
month. then every three weeks, every nine days
and later even twice a day We used many
remedies for fits, but all without benefit. Pas
tor Koenig's Nerve Tonic is the very best we
ever used and he is again strong, his mind has
again improved and is clearer.

IT WAS A FAKE.

From the fret we took no stock In
the Commercial Congress ut Kansas
City. The very character Of the pro-
posed gathering was such that IL was
q mere occasion that drew toward II
alI the demagogues Of the west, just
a. tallow dip draws nillers, night
flies, lac. There was q chance forthem
to be entertained free Of charge and TO
enjoy the InaIIenable right II lowing
theIrhorns and airing their view ito
their hearts content. IL IL true
there were Q few good men there,
but they left when Il became aPPa-
rent that q man with sound prinel-
plea and good judgment had no place
there.
II wss also advertised to be nom
partisan and yet the Democratic
calamity people controlled IL from
beginning to end, probably because
most Republicans saw Its true char
Aeter In advance and refused to have
anything TO do with it. The fact
that iI has been allowed To peaceful
~ slumber shows that its influence
(If it ever had any fell fat when II
became known what IL was in reall-
IL, and stands ~ q testimonial to the
good judgment Of the Republicans
who had nothing to do with IL. The
resolutions adopted favors tariff
for revenue only and unlimited
coinage Of silver. This IL all that is
necessary to show what Il was. May
the Lord deliver US from another
Commercial Congress.

PRESIDENTS TOURS.

The spirit Of paTtizan fairness aud
OF Difference To legally constituted
authority 10 admirably displayed la
The popular receptions given to
presidents i'm such tours through
as they Ilud time To make. TN those
occasIuns party division disappear,
and. To paraphTAse the " Ords Of JET
f.rsDn, We are all Republicans and
NIL Democrats. Nobody could guess
at the politics OF the region through
whlch President Harrison IL now
travelling by the manners or actions
of ihe crowds which greet him ut
the railroad stations which he passes
or on tile streets Of the cities In
which he stops. An overwhelming
majority Of the people who have
thus lar seen him on his route voted
against him in lSSs, aud would do
the same In 1892 IL he should be re-
| nunInsted. In the whole region
through which he has jOurneyed he
did not obtain q single electoral vote.
30 far rs regards Its weight In a
presidential canvas the party TO
which lie belongs, aud which lac led
two aud half years ago, h pTacti-
cally nOn-exIstent In the states
" hirh lie has thus far touched ON
his tour. Yet the welcome which
d. has met with could not be more
cordial and spontaneous IL II came
from Vermont, Pennsylvania or
Kansas.
The greetings which presidents
receive mean more than those which
crowned heads evoke from their sub
jects. With Us, In n degree unknown
IN mouarchiss, the executive Is the
first Gentleman OF the nation He
holds q more exalted title than en-
perors and kings, and he weilds pow
er by virtue Of grander patent. IL
10 the real and genuine divine right
which he represents when he bears
sway. He stands for the national
will aud the national intelligence
and the people Of the nation, in their
sovereign capacity, have affixed their
signatures to his credentials. Dur
Ing his term Of Office he IL n symbol
OF the nations majesty aud con-
science. In power ~ we'll n out OF
10 he Is one Of the people. Obtain
Ing power nj the hands of the i,eo-
pie he recognizes the source Of his
authority, ard WHEN the time ends
for which he Was called TO exercise
it he surrenders u into the keeping
OF the succeeding representative Of
the people and again becomes n prl-
vate citizen. The manner la which
he obtains power a. well ~ the man
ner In which he lays u down when
the term Of his ste wardship closes
II among the grandest spectacles
which the workings Of civil govern
meut afford. These considerations
make the president an honoTed aud
exalted figure, and in.ure him n
hearty welcome from his eOuntrymen
without any distinction nT party,
wherever h. appears -Gi"bc- D'D'o-

THE Alliance people are coming
to their senses ct q gratifying rate Of
speed. Recently President McGrath
very properly served notice on the
southern alliance people that II they
did not cease their close relation
with the Democratic party they
would have nothing more To do with
them 10 Q political way. This IL
proper and right. The opposition
have charged that the third party
which had its birth In the alliance,
Q secret organization apparently for
political purposes, although Il dis
claims 10 be such, II nothing more
than q scheme Of the Southern DEM
ocrats 10 divide the Northern Re-
publIcans and thereby return their
party TO power. The fact that In the
south, the birthplace Of the Alliance
the leaders are DemOcrais, and still
affiliate with that party, aud are
doing all they can to further lis in
terests, lends color tn the charge
made by Kansas Republican partl-
sans. At this point Mr. MeGrath
demands q "shOw down." or he says
they must leave Off their old politi-
cal alliances or Kansans will return
to her old political faith by way OF
retaliation. The people who were
led away by the false cry Of OPPres-
sion and the demsgogicsi promises
Of "reform" by psendO leaders are
beginning to see their mistake and
are going TO rectify their error. You
can deceive q wise man once but no
oftener. The majority Of those who
voted the peoples ticket now see
that what they have failed TO accom-
plIsh by their course last fall they
could have accomplished by cOntin-
uIng in the old faith. And they can
do what they will In u because they
are In the majority IL they still abide
/ In its fold.
