THE WAY OUT.
rom the Emporia Republican.

From the Emporia Republican.
There are many Republican farmers il
the Alliance who went into the thirC
party movement against their inclina.
toe and contrary to their best iudg.
ment. In uniting themselves with a
non-partisan farmers organization they
had no thought of abandoning the old
party of Line Din, Grant and Blaine. OF
which they had been members since the
war and of whose great achievements
they have ever been justly proud. They
have never felt comfortable in the new
party. They realize that they are fol-
lowing fine lead of old Greenback and
Union Labor men for whose Judgment
they used to have no respect and whose
wild theories they can put but little
faith in now. They say that the move
ment they helped to start off with So
much vlgor, expecting the southern
states to Join in with enthusiasm, is des-
tined to be only a little local affair of no
national consequence, and they wish
they were safely out of it.
The way for these farmers to get out
Is 10 courageously walk out. There
need be no embarrassment. The condi-
tions fully warrant such a course. Let
them say to their fellow farmers: 1--WE
viii stay with you in the Alliance as it
was first organized, but we have had
enough of this third parry business; we
are making ourselves ridiculous. running
a little side show here for the Democratic
party, and we are giving to quit. Here
after We vote the Republican ticket. 4"

do. and he Is seeing It IL this light more

Temporary Trouble.

From the New York Herald.
Il was a victim yesterday" said a
Wall street man one day last week, sol
inefficient telegraph operators. Because
of their blunders my wife was angry al
me for the first time and | couldn't
! blame her. | sent telegram in the af
ternoon telling her was going to dine
with friend. 1t was o'clock when
got home. My wife met me at the door
l saw something was up. She handed
me telegram, and asked in a chilly sort
Of way, What is tbs meaning of this?'
81 said, Why, my dear, what's wrong:
That is probably the message sent

1t is:' she answered. Please ex-
plain it.
II read it. To my establishment it
said, "Shall dine with Kitty Smith an
old gal of mine, who has Just returned
Europe. Will be late. Don't wait for
me-
"'I wouldn't wait for the best man
that ever lived, said my wife, and she
began to cry.
Il realized at once what had happen
ed, and l laughed l couldn't help it.
why, l said, this message has been
botched. l wrote no such stuff as that. ,
"What did you write them she ask

really written was: Shall dine with
Billy Smith, an old pal of mine, who
has just returned from Europe Will be
late. Don't wait for me- Those infer
nal operators had butchered it. Ny
wife was satisfied, but after this | shall

certainly avoid the use of slang words"
A Kansas operators error brought out
a posse of determined men in search of a
supposed desperate some time ago. A
young farmer was called away from
home for few days His wife went to
visit her brother in town near by dur
ing his absence. The third day her hus-
band sent her message saying: "Big
ball; meet me at Wichita tonight"
There was to be dance, and he want
ed his wife to attend. When she got
the dispatch it said: big Bill got me at
Wichita tonight"
She interpreted this to mean that her
husband had either been captured or
shot. or both, by a man named "Big
Bill. Her brothers agreed with her, and
the whole family and a number of neigh
DorS, all heavily armed, took the first
train to Wichita to rescue the husband
and hang big Bill"
The husband was waiting calmly at
the station for his wife. The vigilance
committee demanded big Bill" and
were not at all satisfied with the husband
for standing there free and uninjured.
A San Francisco gentlemen learned
that an estimable lady in Los Angeles
had suddenly lost all of her property and
was in condition of actual want. He
telegraphed to friend, a lawyer in Los
Angeles: Assist Mrs. - at once"
The word "assist" was changed in trans
mission to ''arrest," and the poor woman
was taken into custody and held for sew

The bread question in Germany is evil
IDENTIFY not merely one of a short crop
season. According to Consul Smith the
crop failure is only an incident and
Germany is wrestling with more mo-
mentuous problem than that of furnish
ing food for the poorer classes. Bread
is 90 per cent. dearer than it was five
years ago, and potatoes, which figure
largely as an article of consumption
among the poor, are so per cent. higher
than in 1890, and agitators are taking
advantage of the situation to widen the
breach between the working people and
the governing classes. In a word, they
are taking the cue from the political
demagogues in this country and prepar-
ing to raise howl after the calamity

COLOR ASSOCIATION.
To The Editor Of the Eagle.

To The Editor Of the Eagle.
In some minds there is an association
of colors with sound-different sounds
suggesting different colors. Compare
lively few persons have this peculiar
quality of mind. The colors associated
with sound are more vivid and distinct
in the minds of children who have the
faculty than with adults, and is more
distinct in some minds than others. This
is subject about which little has been
said or written, as it is of no practical
importance, but interesting, as are all
things pertaining to mind or matter
Many whose attention has been called to
this attribute of mind are skeptical of It's
existence. The writer hereof was con-
scious Of having this popularity of mind
in childhood, and knows for himself and
by the testimony Of others that such a
faculty of mind does exist.
A scientific monthly, published at
Cambridge, Mass, some years ago gave
this subject some investigation. NJ.

An altogether unusual change of faith
has just been recorded. The Rev. Hugh
HERBERT ohnson, B. A, of Oxford Uni.
versity. has been converted to the No
hammedan belief at Liverpool. He was
clergyman in the English Church and
has for some trme past, after having
been attracted by the teDets of this re-
ligion, been making inquiries into the
subject, and last Sunday he attended
the Moslem Church and repeated the
Kalma OF Moslem creed and then signed
the roll of membership of the Church,
thus putting the finishing touch to his
change of belief and formally becoming
a Mussulman. This is not entirely with
out precedent but it is a very rare occur
renee: quite as much so as the espousal
Of judaism by a Christian or vice
versa. Freedom of conscience is the
leading tenet of most religions, and this
must preclude harsh criticisms of the
hereto, otherwise new convert.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

Elsewhere we publish an article, EN-.
bodying an interview, of the miracles
being wrought by the use of bi-chloride
of gold by DR.. Kelley at Dwight, Hi
noif. Mr.. Richardson, the gentleman
quoted in the article from the Kansas
City Star, is a travelling correspondence
of the Omaha Bee and spent yesterday
in Wichita. During a call made the
EAGLE he related his personal expert
ence. Kelley holds that drunkenness is
nervous disease arising from the ex-
cessive use of stimulating liquors. Of
the thousand of patients discharged by
him only per cent have ever returned
to the habit Mr.. Richardson said that
all desire for liquor was removed. Every
victim of the drink habit rescued be-
comes at once a missionary to lift others
from the slough of despond."
The movement is enlisting the hearty
cooperation of the press, and the
churches and all temperance organiza-
thbns ought to give a warm support. 1t
is well enough to perpetute and carry on
all of the moral and religious agencies
which aim to prevent drunkenness. but
the narrow bigotry which claims that
the newspapers are extolling the Kelley
cure for the purpose of belittling the pro-
hibition movement is to be greatly de-
plored. This Is a case in which there
ought to be no conflict between science
and religion.
However, in reading about these won.
ders, recollections of the Brown-Sequard
and the Koch disappointment will recur.

the frequently reported complications
between this government and the junta

serious aspect Of the matter is alone in
the thought of rupture Of the entente

not from any danger to this country or
any of its interests. Chill is a small and
weak power and for that reason the
United States would avoid, by every
means possible, anything and everything
