MY REDEEMER.

SD and lonely, melancholy, is The cold
November night,
Though the moon is shining clear, and the
logs are burning bright,
Not a sound is heard without, save the
signing Of the wind,
whispering gently to the trees, 10 voice
50 soft and kind,
That il turns my thoughts to thee, my be-
loved gentle Mary,
And / wonder If thou are like the fay, the
forests fairy.
Fer tits said IL ancient lore, that fays in
forests roam,
Safely guiding the stra y waaderer to a
friendly, peasants home.
And think of bygone days, those days OF
first ambition,
When my youthful spirit rose, unrestrain-
by prohibition
And where fancy first received, on Ger
mania's friendly shore,
That lasting strong desire for the philoso-
phic lore.
That great worship at the shrine, of the
muse, dsrk-eyed and grand,
Wearing buskin on her foot, holding dag
ger in her hand,
OF Olympian Jove, the daughter, serio us
Melpomene,
Sister to the bright-eyed virgin, laurel
crowned Terpsichore.
And how l left Germania, how l left the
foreign strand,
For white Gifted, bonny Albion, in the
world the only land,
Where my bosom feels at ease, where my
mind could calmly rest,
Where the Briton, proud, but thoughtful.
always labors for the best.
But, alas my being changed-iron
wrought necessity
Babe me become student of keen-witted
Mercury.
Over books of soulless numbers, now
poured by day,
Leaving the past behind me, as it were
some plaintive lay
But at night my other ego sought it's ac-
customed friends;
They soothed not the changing, who had
changed Tor other ends,
Who the classic had forssken for a more
material life;
Twas to earn daily living, to enconbas
mortal strife.
Yet that something which impeis us, mys
terious de tiny
She despotic, rules our future, shaping our
preordained fate,
AS il is decreed above-Life Of Love, OF
Life OF Hate.
Swayed me on to leave the temple devoted
to Mercury.
Varied were the occupations, as followed
fnIly's beck,
Wandering hither, wandering thither with
out compass, without check,
Without single human being who would
warnIngly me chide.
Yet had one, faithful misguided pr;d.
led me astray,
And / rue il for not seeking his advice to
this day.
Existence q confused turmoil, indescrib
able sorrow,
Nought to alleviate the strife of the com
ing morrow
All sad despair and gloom-not blessed
ray of light,
The dark chaos to illumine, to brighten
the dark night.
But here my thoughts, dear Mary, hope
fully turned to thee,
My emblem pure and holy, of truth AID
simple modesty-
And my fancy led me back to the old and
ancient lay,
But was the wanderer Grant, and those
the goodly fay,
Gentle Mary, fay, redeemer, gsntlest OF al
l ween,
Peacefully enthroned ever, In my heart
the queen, the queen.

killed by sufocation and one was
fatally burned.
In buggies, carriages, harness.

the loss Is quite heavy or to al. Ten
buggies aud carriages were either
burned or charred beyond all possible
repair. The heaviest loss on one
single article is that of his omnibus,
which c:s,, new, 81 200. Among the
vehicles saved were the double and
single sleighs, a couple of carts and a
single buggy. Buggies belonging to
Marsh P. Wright, Thos. M. C,sey
aud John n. Bixman were removed
without damage, as they were stat
toned in the shed portion on the
south, which was saved from the
flames.
Beside Mr.. Messick's loss in livery
stock-which embraced well trained
drivers, both single and double and uu-
der harness, and some premium-tskers
at our county fairs-Messrs. w. j.
Sanders and John N. Bixman each lost
a horse. Mr. Bixman's large gray
was a notable animal, either under
the saddle or in harness. and he had
refused $3.50 rather than part with
him. He was brought to Clinton last
summer by Fulford's circus, were he
had been used in the ring. Mr.. Blk.
man had $50 insurance OH the horse,
s25 on two sets of harness, and s25
on the buggy, which only was slved.
Mr.. Sanders held no insurance.

KANSAS Is the only state 10 the union that
can grow political party $1,000 strong In one
year, and kill it dead as door nail the next
EInDOTtd Republican.
It is also the only state in the union
that has demonstrated its ability to
combine high tariff Republicans and
free trade Democrats, prohibitionists
and resubmissionists and all the dis
cordant political elements Of former
years in order to defeat this new
party without reducing its own
strength. Furthermore it is the only
state in the union in which cheek has
been 30 developed as to claim such
results as those attained in the recent
election as Republican victories.
The advocate., 1891-11-18

the election Of Messrs. Earle and
Humphrey, where che Republicans in
former days had a plurality Of 5,457.
And as q group Of Democrotic-Re
publican victories, does not the tri-
umph Of Judge ]. s. West in the
Bourbon, Crawford and Linn dis
trict, make you shout your voice
hoarse with Joy that you were not
beaten where the Republicans had
had plurality Of 1888!
Judge Leander Stillwell is again
triumphant in the Allen, Neosho, Will
son and Woodson district, where the
plurality has been 1850. What o
great victory!
Judge A. j. Abbott is saved once
more by a scratch in the district COM
prised Of Finney, Ford, Gray, Ham
ilton and Kearney counties, where
there has been Republican plurali-
ty Of 1,414. In this another great Re-
publican, triumph according to the
mathematics found in Sir John Play
fields EuclidR
In the Harvey and Reno district
the Republicans have saved Hon. F.
L. Martin by a small plurality, where
in former days they had the immense
plurality Of 2,647. And is not this
another most famous Republican VIC
tory2
In the Sedgwick district Judge
Christopher Reed has q plurality Of
864, where Republicans have been
2O46 votes in the lead. And on this
does not the Capital bawl, "This is
our year Of jubileei"
In the Wysndotte district Judge
Henry L. Alden has a majority Of
Seventy-Six, while Judge Thomas p.
Anderson, of the common pleas court,
is in a minority Of 588. This must
be gratifying where the Peoples
party has increased its vote by over
1000, and the Republican plurality
has been 1,276.
And in our county of Shawnee,
whore the plurality of 4,529 was had
for the Harrison and Morton electors,
ought not our Judge j. B. johnson
to be proud Of his overwhelming VIC
tory, where with his own precious
hand he put his unique red stamp on
Democratic ballots.
Why, the mathematics that most
BELTS the Capital crowd is that Of the
Matthew s. Quay kind-that of addi-
lion, division and silence. And this
man Quay is nevertheless the mansg-
Or for the pure old Republican party,
which without Doodle and spirituous

dearly by carnal weapons, making by
visible demonstrations their politics
in the language of the apostle,
worldly, sensual and devilish?"
Psndering to the passions and preju-
dices of somewhat illy-intormed and
wesk-minded men, are they not a set
of modern heroes, bowling most
stupidity, even over their own serious
cslamities, and fiddling with brutal,
demoniacal glee, while the temple Of
liberty is in flames, time-honored
bequest that had descended to the
American people from their fathers.
But, really, after these antiquated,
conventional braggsrts have properly
adjusted the figures obtained from
the late election in Kansas, and,
msthematically, placed them where
they properly belong on the debt and
credit side Of their political ledger
after all their unparalleled bargains
and sales, what have they, in fact, got
to show to candid world as endur-
ing, substantial and most welcome re-
suits.
This question might be partially
answered by stating that they have
elected to the position of judge of the
district court a gentleman who went
out Of office last spring as a Demo
cratic railroad commissioner, and
whose Democratic Republican sue
cessor has been put into the front Of
the Republican campaign to advocate
the doctrine that political fossils en-
tertain.
And out in central Kansas the Re
publicratic combination of Demo-
cratic candidate and Republican
voters gives an anti-prohibition Demo
crst, whom Russians and Swedes
elected to the Office of county attor-
ney in 1882, position of judge of
the district court to last until JAN
usry, 1896, thereby defeating man
whom the late Ex-Governor John A.
Martin appointed to the Office in
1887.
And this glorious work has been
performed by "the only party in Kan
sas that protects prohibition"
In face of such undlsguised facts,
the president of the Kansas State
Temperance Union-which organiza-
tion is Republican frequent
ly tells his little squad of hearers
that the Peoples party is fighting
prohibition in ambush.
Is it not a patent fact that the Re-
publicans in the counties of Atchison,
Sedgwick and Wyandotte profted
immensely by the "vices regnant" in
the cities of Atchison, Kansas City
and Wichita?
Did not the Republican element in
the last named city, at it's last munich
pal election, give their cheerful sup
port to Democratic inn-keeper, and
thus, as a qNid pro quo, was not the
"short boy element" voted like dumb

and Of political progress. Suffice it
to say they have invoked the aid OF
many agencies to secure their Dem
cratic Republican victory-if a tri-
umph they can call it-that decent,
earnest, honest, self-respecting men
in the Peoples party can honor in
the breach and not in the observance
of their methods.
Republican newspapers, that are
seemingly oblivious of the weakness
of the Republican party in the great
American nation, have, as q wish that
was father to the thought, declared
that the Peoples party is now q nom
entity, and the Kansas City Journal
about week ago made the following
exhibit Of its knowledge and ssgscity:
Now that the Alliance party has been snugly
tucked into the pigeon hole Of oblivion, 50 far at
least as its possibilities of national consequence
are concerned, the question comes up on whom
shall the legacy descend?
The question, who shall receive It's legacy, will
be answered when 1t Is found which ls the
stronger element Of Its make up; A sincere de-
sire for progress, or natural tendency to grOwl.
For In the first contingency the Republicans will
be strengthened by it; and In the second, De-
will wax strong upon 1t. This Is the
way 1t looks at present; for next year the two
parties will probably make the light In this line;
On the one side hopeful progress, on the other
lacrym0se bourbOnlsm.
When it may be said that while an
irrepressible conflict was raging be-
tween the. advocates Of freedom and
the upholders Of human slavery, es-
pecially on and after the enactment
of the Kansas Nebraska bill, 3 gen.
tleman now connected with the Jour
raoI was most vehemently pro-slsvery,
and hence, an adherent Of '4acrymose
bourbonism," while a young man
about the Office, is so new in politics,
that he might well be excused for a
lack of knowledge of earlier politics.
The Republican party of the state
Of New York, having been beaten in
its race first made in 1866 by "silYer
grey" Wings, alias Americans"
carried the state for Fremont for
president in 1856 by plurality OF
over $4,000, and yet in 1857 the Re-
oublicsns were beaten by the Demo
rats by about 10000 plurality.
But in 1860, against a combined
opposition, Abraham Lincoln hand
'omely swept the state; and now as
Democrats of the Jefferson school, |
md as Republicans of the Lincoln |
ype are in the Peoples movement in |
Kansas and elsewhere, the party of
he people IN Kansas and in the ma
ion are neither dead nor sleeping,
'ut they are preparing for the great
contest in 1892, when the Republi-
ans may learn that after the next
presidential election their political
organization will simply exist in his
ory, and then Kansas Republicans
nay review their work as political
londescrlpts in 1891.

REPUBLICAN PRETENSIONS TO KNOWL-
EDGE or MATHEMATICS.

The Alliance ADVOCATE this week takes thre,
columns to prove that In lOslng nearly ever!
county In the state the Peoples party gained
glorious victory. The amount OF ratiOCinatlOI
DR.. McLalliD puts his mental processes through
10 demonstrate this paradox would dlSprove AM
proposition in Mr.. EuclId's geometry Topeka
Capital
The idea that any person connected
with the Republic n politics Of Kan
sas should seriously make any allu
sions to Plsyfair's Euclid is simply
ludicrous, if not prepOsterous, 1t il
not fairly presumable that there is
a single individual connected with
the editorial department Of the Capi-
tai that could even demonstrate the
forty seventh proposition in the first
book OF Euclid.
But common arithmetic will fully
answer the purpose Of the truly dill.
gent man who analyses election re-
turns in the light Of judgment, rea-
son and good, ordinary, common
sense, and hence a knowledge of the
higher mathematics is not supremely
important to the respectable journal
ist who appreciates the real facts that
stand related to the official returns OF
elections.
Has the official paper Of Kansas
and Of Shawnee county published in
q fully tabulated view the election re-
turns by precincts in Shawnee county
for the years of 1890 and 1917 Such
a table might not be very pleasing to
the eye OF the political idolaters
whose newspaper reading is confined
to the Capitol for the weakness Of
the Republican party no,U, as COM
pared with its strength in the past,
might not be very pleasant object
lesson to them.
Now with Hamilton county gaining
on the vote Of the Peoples party
$3.50 per cent; Ford, 2O2 per cent. /;
Wyandotte, 1877; Finney, 148; Meade,
104; Gray, 1O3; Atchison, go; Ander-
son, 30; Jackson, 30; Wilson, 20;
Rush, %, and Ellis 20 per cent, this
shows pretty well when compared
with the gain in the Republican vote
of Leavenworth Of 80, and of Sedg-
wick county Of 36 per cent.
Now, Mr.. Capital, what kind Of
quod est demOnStrand1m will you
apply to the political mathematics Of
the Butler Greenwood judicial dis
trict, where your political barnacle,
Hon. j. B. ClogSton, is eighty-nine
votes behind the Peoples candidate,
Hon. @. w. Shinn, and in an actual
minority Of 1912 The switch is
demonstrated" mathematical problem
purely srithmeticsl, not geometri-
calls that the Republicans in their
hey-dsy Of glory had a
plurality of 1888 in these two coun-
ties.
And 80 The ADVOCATE might go on
nd Hbitum and easily demonstrate
the fact that the Republican party
here in Kansas, algebraically speak
