One reason why marriage Is so

man falls in love with woman
because she has two or three of
the qualities which he attributes
to the ideal woman, and never
gets over blaming her af'erward

THE ROUTE TO CINCINNATI.
More anon.

The official route selected for dele
gates to the Cincinnati conference
from st. Louis to Cincinnati is the o.
& M. road, which has guaranteed su-
perior accommodations and decorated
cars at the reduced rates fixed by the
Central Traffic association. The
Western Passenger, the Transmits
souri, and the Trans Continental as
sociations have refused to grant re-
ddced rates, evidently for the pur-
pose Of diminishing the attendance
and if possible crippling the confer
ence. This refusal to grant the GUS
tomary accommodation to like con-
ventions of other parties can only be
construed as evincing an unfriendly
spirit toward this movement. In
view Of all the facts the Chicago &
Alton road has been selected as the
official route from Kansas City to st.
Louis, inasmuch as the president of
that road has declared in favor of
government control of railways and a
two-cent per mile passenger rate
In consequence of the liberal policy
Of that road it is now boycotted by
the plutocrstlc roads of the east. It
is to be hoped that all delegates who
can do so will concentrate at Kansas
City and purchase tickets over the
Alton road. The time of leaving
Kansas City will be announced at
later date.
The advocate., 1891-05-06
ABOUT PLATFORMS.

We observe in some OF our ex-
changes suggested platforms" some
of them of great length, to be pre-
sented to the Cincinnati conference.
We do not approve Of these, or, in
fact, of any platform to be adopted at
that conference. While this will un-
doubtedly be a fairly representative
body, it will not embrace all the ele-
ments that are expected to partici-
pate in the great contest of 1892
We believe we should stand squarely
on the st. Louis platform, leaving all
additions to be made to il to the po-
litical nominating convention that
shall assemble in 1892 to name the
standard bearers Of the party. This
is due to those who will not be rep
represented on the 10Th inst. It must
be remembered that the educational
influences now being employed will
bring about great changes before the
assembling Of the convention Of 1892;
and there will be many who will be
ready to participate by that time who
are not ready now. In Difference to
them we should not now make the
platform upon which they must
stand. They are entitled to voice
upon that important question when
the proper time arrives.
Let the Cincinnati conference de-
clare unequivocally for new party,
confer as to the best methods of ad-
vancing the educational work now in
progress, adopt a ringing address to
the people, and then adjourn, leaving
the details of the perfect orgsniza-
tion and the framing Of the platform
for later date, and it will have accom-
plished a most important work. III
it goes much beyond this, its work
will not, in our Judgment be as BEN
eticial in it's influence.

A DESPERATE CASE.
later date.

When, in the history of American
politics, was it ever before deemed
necessary for any political party to
establish and maintain permanent
headquarters, and solicit contribu-
tions from the faithful for continu-
GUS political campaigna This action
on the part of the chairman Of the
Kansas Republican state central
committee, is a frank confession of
the desperate condition of the party
in this state, which no amount of ex-
planstion can counteract. The Peo-
ple's party is to be congratulated that
this has been done. The political
methods of Chairman Buchan and
the little ring by which he is sur
rounded have been potent factors in
swamping his party in the last cam
paign. Let those methods continue
and the labor of the Peoples
party in future campaigns will be
materially diminished.

that Kentucky is electing delegates
to the Cincinnati conference, and also
that a convention will assemble at
Covington, KY, on the Goth inst, for
the purpose of nominating state
peoples ticket for the fall election.
This correspondent, in letter to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, dated April 8,
writes:

This platform commends itself to the
