JIMBLA1NEs's Compound Extract Of
Reciprocity, warranted to cure the
worst case Of weak knees. Testi-
monials from thousands of disaffect-
ed, chronic Republicans received
daily. Prices reasonable. Green
backs taken in denominations of
81 900 or upwards. For sale by all
prohibition Republicans having al

One dose warranted to cure Repub-

worrying about farmers going into
politics. The hide Of the oath-bound

lican party, known as the Knights
of Reciprocity.

WE heard a new pup story the
other day. 1t runs like this: A
man became the possessor of litter
of pups, and he watched anxiously
to see them open their eyes. He
watched day after day, and still the
pups eyes remained closed. Final
~ the man became exasperated, and
he took those pups, one at time,
and beat their heads against a tree,
and threw them over the fence.
The next day he CHANGED to pass by
the spot where the pups lay, and
found them lying there, cold in
death, but their eyes wide open.
He looked at them a moment, and
then remarked, "There! blast we
l knew I'd make you get your eyes
open, but had to beat your brains
out before you'd get 'em OPEN It
is so with many men. They can't
see where they are drifting till some
terrible calamity befalls them.

To-Day the sheriff sold under the
hammer nine tracts of land, aggre-
eating LII acres, for the sum of
$500. eve are a happy, prosper
Gus people," says Harrison. Mr..
Sheriff, please sell another batch of
Cowley county at 33 cents per acre,
says the court. This shows the ne
cessity of an amendment to our
mortgage laws. Under this sale
land has been taken without COM
pensation, and leaves the former
owners still in debt thousands of
dollars. No compensation, no re-
demption, but all gone into the
greedy nav of the mortgagee.-

Infa1libility the Prop of Evil.

Infa1libility the Prop of Evil.
individuals, or organizations, are
slow to perceive wrong-doing, and
still slower to make amends when
wrong is pointed out. Adam and
Eve when convicted of disobedience
did not admit their culpability, but
laid the blame on the serpent and
firmly believed they were greatly
abused. Doubtless Satan had his
defenders, but if not, still it is true
that all that is bad has been defend
ed.
A certain number of people can
be found to defend government
based upon the will of one man,
even though that man be monster
of cruelty, and the government such
as wonld disgrace the Internal re-
gions. No political party has ever
been known to admit that it's meas
ures were wrong, or that any other
party was, or could be, right. The
same may be said of churches. The
church of Rome proclaims the infal-
libility of the pope. A multitude of
people believe that the gates Of
heaven are only opened to the or
thodox Greek. The protestant,
while little more liberal, feels toll
erably sure that at least his denomi-
nation holds to more religious truth
THAI any other religious society.
The Mohamedan in his devotion to
Mohamet, submits, without COM
plant, to conditions more intolera-
bic than that of the damned,
believing that it is the will of God,
and of his prophet. CHANGING over
the worlds history, we find that,
with the exception of CLEAN of
light here and there, its pages
are dark with injustice and Oppres-
sion; that every form of misery
has existed for the masses ; that the
conditions that have surrounded the
toiling millions have been verita-
BILE hell, and that no church, no
form of government, no political
party, no human organization, has
ever fairly understood or attempted
to solve the problem of happy hui
man existence, and but few indi-
viduals, comparatively, have even
been touched with the miseries of
the human race. Eve ate of the
fruit and laid the blame upon the
serpent. Adam ate of the fruit and
laid the blame upon the woman.

The Difference Between the Two
Old Parties.

Harrison is opposed to free silver.
So is Cleveland.
Harrison is opposed to green
backs. So is Cleveland. -
Harrison is opposed to the gov
eminent issuing our money and
controlling it's volume. So is Cleve-
land.
Harrison piles the peoples money
up in the national treasury instead
of paying it out on bonds. So did
Cleveland.
Well, then, you may well ask,
what is the difference between these
two old parties !? There is Just this
difference-one is in and the other
wants to get in.-Iowa Farmer.

on his co-religionist for daring to
advocate a change for the better,
and Rome teaches that what is, is
right. The United States, not to be
behind, proclaims, through her pres
ident, that everybody is happy and
prosperous-that too, when farmers
are half clothed, miners sit down to
mush and water; when skilled me-
chanics and operatives walk the
streets of all our cities in search of
employment, and women, fair and
pure, are forced into prostitution or
suicide.
The Mohomedan partly believes
that he is happy, or if anything is
wrong, it is the doing of the infidel
dog. Protestant England has never
admitted that that Ireland's misery
is her doing, or that her government
is the direct cause of conditions
that are sweeping millions of her
citizens to destruction. America
follows the nations of the old world
with headlong speed. The human
race is not saved. Conditions re-
main much the same, and until
conditions are changed, no creed
no party, and no form of govern
ment will be able to make the exist
ence of the masses either desirable
or tolerable. The lesson must be
must be emphasized-that
whatever does not conduce to the
happiness of the masses, is wrong,
whether it be in the republic or

edanism, Catholicism or protestant
whether it be in Democracy or
Republicanism.

Age of Consent.

| - @~>s-~0>~o
ed that the Legislature of Kansas
pass law making it legal for a girl
to consent to her own ruin in the
years of her childhood. Upon this
Recommendation the Republican SEN
ate passed bill making it lawful
for female to consent her own ruin
at the age of fourteen years. But
every father and mother in the state
of Kansas that love and respect
their daughters ought to be thank
full that there was sufficient number
of good, honest, christian Alliance
members in the house to defeat the
damnable bill. 1t was simply an
attempted piece of Legislation to
rob virtue and protect the villianous
thieves thereof. Thus we see that
the great morality party is not
content with it's Legislation Of rob-
bling labor and protecting the thieves
thereof, but is now seeking such
Legislation as will rob the virtue of
the young women of our country.
In conversation with a gentle
man from a western county, the
other day, he said that the bankers
in his county would not loan money
to Alliance, or Peoples, men, but
that the "old-line" fellows could
get money; that the bankers said
that, as long as the farmers kept on
"acting the fool" they would get
squeezed. He said he has a neigh
Dor who owns half-section of good
land, eleven head of horses and 9TH
err stock. Before the advent of the
Peoples movement, that neighbor
could borrow $500 without security,
but he joined the Alliance and cast
his lot with the people, and now he
can't borrow dollar at the banks.
This gentleman told of another
neighbor who had borrowed $50,
giving mortgage on his team. He
kept the interest paid up promptly
was paying 2 per cent. month.
When the mortgage became due,
he asked an extension of time-or
wanted to renew the mortgage.
But he had joined the Peoples par
ty, and the bankers said, "No, sir;
we must have the money" He
could not procure the money, so the
bankers took his team, and sold it
to Republican on years time, at
8 per cent. interest. We asked the
gentleman if the people in his coun-
ty would not finally succumb to
and go back to the
old parties. "No, indeed" said he.
"They say they will starve first"
So you see those bulldozing tactics
won't win. The people have their
eves omen and the more YOU try to

LEFFLER'S SLAYERS.
The Two Italians Examined by
Justice Owens.

The Two Italians Examined by
Justice Owens.
Yesterday morning Justice Owens be-
gan the preliminary examination of
Karmos and Kandelar, the two Italians
charged with the murder of Samuel
Leffler, the watchman of the Southern
Pacific company on the 28th ult.
DR.. Bryant testified to the nature OF
LETTERS wounds, and then Richard IL
Mullaley took the stand and ties tilted
as to his being with Lefiler before the
killing, and OF finding some traps be-
longing to the Italians concealed in
some timber, the place where few
hours afterwards the body of Leffler
was found. The witness further stated
that he WAS with the deceased when
Karmos was escorted out of the yards.
and assisted in carrying their traps eff
from the company's premises. Null
lalley was considerably excited while
giving his testimony, and upon one
occasion, pointing his finger at Kande-
lar, upon whose person was found the
gun OF the dead watchman, said: ''That
is the man who did the killing-the
man who fred both shots" He was
greatly put out when the court informed
him that he could express no opinion in
the matter while on the stand, and not
withstanding the orders of the court
insisted that he would say what he
thought were the facts in the case.
The case was then continued until
this morning.

statement OF her fraud and he confesses
his lie. The piece is false to nature,
false in sentiment, false to art in its
general construction, and is character
lied throughout by absurdities which
culminate in weakness in the last act,
vet in the hands OF Mr.. Willard and his
company it makes occasion for most
enjoyable performance. AS stated, its
one good feature is the brightness of the
lines add to this most effective scenery,
and a company of good actors, and the
result is most happy.
Mr.. Willsrd is not as effective az
Judah Lleweilyn as he is as Cyrus
Blenkarn the former character is lack
ing in the naturalness and force OF the
latter, but he is go consummate an
artist as to be able to divest the role of
much of its inherent weakness and en-
dows it with wonderful degree of
vigor.
One OF the cleverest acts of the even
ing was the work of Mr.. Tyler as Juxon
PraIl. This young man displayed a
wonderful talent in bringing out some
exquisite character work in a part
which nine actors out of ten would have
made simply burlesque.
Miss Burroughs was charming
throughout, both as the supposed super
naturally gifted healer, and as the low
ing, loved woman. Her threatened fall
at the end of the second act, makes
every one in the audience start
with apprehension, but none the less
such piece of dramatic trickery is un-
worthy OF so excellent an artist.
All of the company deserve the high
est commentator. while the stage set
ting is beyond all fault fnding nothing
approaching the perfection of the
scenery. the correctness of all the de-
tail, the accuracy of the appointments,
has ever before been seen in this city.
The scene of Asgarby castle, in the sec
ond act, is without any exaggeration
faultlessly beautiful. As matter Of
fact, never has so perfect performance,
from any point OF view, been seen here
as is given by Mr.. Willard In either one
OF his two plays.
He has decided not to give matinee
tomorrow.
NV
Achille Philion, the great equilibrist,
has been secured to give exhibitions OF
his marvellous skill at Hazard's g pavilion.
Philion will give sample of his ability
on the night of January I'd. He has
been all over the world, and his
spiral tower globe act has been witnessed
by millions of people.

A GRACIOUS incident of the proposed
donation by the people of the United
States to the starving Russians is that it
is designed to employ in the transmis-
sion of the cargo of grain the same
public vessel that was used over forty
years ago in conveying succor to the dis
tressed people of Ireland. This is a
dignifed revival OF tradition that does
honor to the American people. The
Constellation, the vessel which will be
detailed for this charitable purpose, is

A POLITICAL "REMINISCENCES.

The Republican party has always
made great pretensions as to its excep-
tional virtue. Its leaders are now in New
York engaged in the old Pharisaic
game of false pretenses. In somewhere
near the year 1856 the Republican party
started system of metropolitan COM
missions, whose design was to abrogate
local government. 1t undoubtedly ac-
complished that purpose for years.
There has been great deal OF pretense
about the appearance of Mr.. William M.
Tweed in New Yorkpolitics. His vicious
energy was made politically potential by
the political corruption of Republican
members of the New York legislature.
Mr.. Tweed happened to strike an era in
the politics of New York in which COM
binations with corrupt men by corrupt
men were strikingly feasible. He was
himself corrupt man, there is no ques'
ton about that, but was not as corrupt
as the corrupt Republicans that lent
themselves to his service.
The plan of the leaders of the Repub-
lican party in New York has always
been to raise a great howl at Democratic
tergiversation, while, as matter of fact.
the real transgressions were from the
Republican quarter. Mr.. Tweed's sue
cess was only made possible by Repub-
lican connivance, and his downfall was
brought about by Democrats, not by
Republicans. Conspicuous amongst the
people who accomplished his exodus
was Samuel J. Tilden.
Mr.. Tweed was as much victim OF
Republican chicanery as of Democratic
indignation. He was "downed" by
Democrats, while his Republican sup
porters stood aloof.
The Republican journals now are try
ing to create tie impression that real
movement in the interest of political
reform is an invasion of the rights OF
their partisans. As matter OF fact,
the Democrats of New York have been
practically dsfranchised for twenty-five
years, beginning with the celebrated
metropolitan commissions emanating
from Albany. The constitution of the
state of New York provides for what
might be called an intercalary census.
Intermediary to that of the United
States. The Republican majority OF
the New York Legislature has
steadily disregarded this pro-
vision of the state constitution,
Notwithstanding the strong efforts which
Governor Hill has made to bring that
constitutional provision into operation.
They have done this because they knew
that a real census would give to the
southern part of New York much
larger representation than it enjoys
now, and would give the Democratic
party its adequate standing in
both branches of the legislature. The
old adage OF the Republican party is
that lie well stuck to is as good as the
truth; and the journals of that party
are now exemplifying its force. Cover
nor Hill and the Democratic party are
really engaged in the honest office of re-
establishing government OF the people
for the people and by the people.

farmers have a month or six weeks be-
fore them, every day of which can be

The whole face of Nature has been
changed in the last twenty-four hours.
The cramped appearance of the foliage
and the parched, dusty coloring OF the
landscape have given place to the de-
lightful emerald of healthy vegetation.
The leaves of the trees are laughing in
their vigorous glow, and the soil has re.
sumed the rich and fecund tint that is
the outward evidence of the labor OF
reproduction going on under the sur

OF the drama little can be said be-
yond the undeniable fact that the text
is crisp and at times brilliant. The
plot is based on the supposition that a
young girl has succeeded in duping
people into believing that she is possessed
of wonderful curative power, and to
prove the supernatural source of her
gift, she attempts prolonged fast, in
which she is supplied with food by her
father; Judah Lewellyn discovers the
fraud, but being in love with the young
woman, lies to conceal her deceit and
then suffers agonies from his conscience
until in the last act the girl, who is
about to marry him, makes public
