Monday evening, April Goth, over
fifty of the friends of Rev. Albert Gregory
assembled at the parsonage and gave
him and his family surprise. The even
ing was spent very pleasantly by all. A
lunch was passed around during the
evening, which must have been of very
good quality judging by the way it dis
appeared. Soon after lunch l.. T. Wilt
ans made some interesting remarks, and
in behalf of the company presented the
pastor and wife with beautiful easy
chair and a sum of money, Mr.. Gregory,
for himself and wife, expressed their graft
tude in few touching remarks that will
long be remembered by those present. A
petition to have him sent back was writ
ten and signed by those present, and
afterward by many others, and this was
sent to the Presiding Elder. This has
been his third year with us and ifhe goes
away he does so with the love, and re-
spect ofthe community. May God kindly
remember and prosper them i'll all their
work in the future.

Surely not all the blame is resting
on the drunkard. My high license
friend, "Thou art the man."
There are men of the Tribune
stripe who will deliberately place
temptation in the way Of poor,
weak, fallen, human beings, and
then, if they have not strength
enough to pass the ordeal, but fall,
and become victims of possibly an
inherent weakness, will, with hearts
hard as adamant and cold as an ice
berg, deal out the full measure Of
memorable law as found in the So
called courts of justice, Who is to
blame ?-the man who made the
trap, or the man who Tell into the
trap? The men who set the trap,
or digged the pit, must share the
blame. The saloon is not necessi-
ty. 1t possesses no element OF
necessity. 1t is man-trap. 1t is
a death-trap. 1t is heart-breaking
trap. 1t is a tax-making trap. 1t
is quarrel-making trap. Every sa-
loon, high license or low license, or
no license at all, is loaded to the
muzzle with death-dealing missiles.
1t is directed against the multitude.
1t always hits some one. 1t maybe
lordly man, it may be clinging,
beautiful woman. 1t may be help
less, innocent children-it may be
one, it may be all; but it never
fails to hit some one.

SOME years ago the National

Charles Foster, Of Ohio, and Jere-
miah Rusk, of Wisconsin, ever
sought any favors of the people that

them, as they had rendered them

Yes, and these gentlemen have
also rendered Wall street valuable
services. These, you see, are the
kind of gentlemen the rumites and
Wall streetites call "our leaders,"
There's the vice-president, you
see, he's a Wall streeter and liq-
uor dealer. Also there's the presi-
dent-the Deacon-he goes it four
times better than Belshazzar, for he
has five kinds Of drinks on his table
at his state dinner, and worships
the gods, trusts, monopolies, beer
and whisky. You see Belshazzar
only had one kind of drink at his
feasts, and worshipped gods of stone
and silver.

The evidence being brought out
by the dynamite investigation COM
mittee, at Topeka, shows that the
editors of the American NoncOn-
formist made no mistake when they
tried the leaders Of the Republican
party in this state after the explo-
sion at Coffeyville. If this investi-
CATION had been made two years
ago, when it ought to have been,
they could not have elected Re-
publican in the state at the late cleo
ton. We recommend the subsidiz-
ed editors who have been so loud
mouthed in calling the Vincents
anarchists, to read the history of
that nefarious plot, the evidence
now being produced berore the
committee, and then read chapters
5, 6 and 7 of the Book Of Esther,
and they will see that they have
been playing the role of Haman.

not foget to point with pride to that

Who Is To Blame?

The Sunday Chicago Tribune, re-
ferring to the brutal act of man
intoxicated, who so beat his wife
that her life is despaired of, says
that the drunken man fought to be
tied to cart wheel and have his
back dashed all the way through one
of the longest streets of the city, .
and that "thens he should serve a
long term of Imprisonment at hard
labor. Such vile thing ought not
again be permitted to walk the
streets"
We quite agree with the Tribune
that the man who will beat woman,
and that woman his wife, and that
wife's only offense was taking a
few cents to buy little butter for
her hungry children, ought to be
severely punished as principal to a
heinous crime but if we mistake
not, the Tribune is an accessory.
Everybody knows that the saloon
invites drinking, and drinking pro-
duces intoxication, and from time
immemorial, drunken husbands have
been liable to, and do, beat their
wives. The Tribune, and not only
the Tribune, but the citizens OF
Chicago, deliberately licensed the
drinking, and thereby became ac-
cessories to all wife-beating pro-
duced by drunkenness.
In the same issue of the Tribune,
under the heading of "The Crime OF
Poverty" the assertion is made in
substance, that drinking, and the
use of tobacco, is the cause Of pow
erty. Now if the Tribune is right,
Just so long as it maintains its posi-
ton upon the liquor question, it is
indirectly accessory to vast
amount of poverty. The man who
fires upon multitude, even though
no one was singled out, should any
one be killed, would be guilty Of
murder, and society would boil over
with indignation. The saloon is q
dangerous weapon. Open it, and
fire is opened upon the multitude
that thropgs it's doors; and not only
those who throng its doors, but the
multitudes who do not throng its
doors. The saloon fires upon the
mothers who, gaunt with hunger
and privation, may not take few
cents with which to buy little
food for her starving children, with

Is not the buying up of Kansas
mortgages by the Britishers the
same thing as an invasion? Isn't it
as bad to buy, Kansas as it would be
to acquire it by conquest? If the
British lion has any tail left, now is
the time for Mr.. Blaine to give it a
yank. -Courier-J ournal.
Oh mol Don't repel the Britishers.
Let 'em buy up Kansas mortgages
and yank the poor farmer, and then
if he should happen to go onto the
strip lands in search of home,
yank him again. You see it's the
poor American-born farmer that gets
all the yanking, and the Britishers
and other Shylocks get the fruit of
his labor, and if he don't like it,
yank him. You see this is plutoc-
raCy.

was, possibly, one of the most re-
markable in the history Of any state
in the United States, and certainly
that of Kansas. One wing of the
capitol contained an overwhelming
majority Of Republicans (; the other
wing of the capitol contained an
overwhelming majority of Peoples
party men. 1t is unfortunate for
the state that such was the case, for
the reason that the majorities were
so large that either house could lose
part of the support of it's party, and
still have a sufficient majority to
pass extreme measures. The lead
ers in both houses became reckless
to some extent, and ignored that
element that exists in all parties,
the conservative, conscientious, pat
riotic citizen, whose allegiance is to
the people first, and the party after
wards. That both parties have done
things that ought not to have been
done cannot be doubted. Parties
are made up of men, and men are
human, and humanity is imperfect.
The Peoples party is no exception
to the rule. 1t has made mistakes.
Men long used to the old parties
pushed aside the members, calling
them =" kids who were unused to
public life" The old politician
with characteristic cheek, unregen-
Grated, unchanged, not being bap-
tiled with the newly-awakened
spirit of reform, has, in spite of the
really honest reformer, been success
full in obstructing or defeating wise
legislation, and in other cases have
secured the adoption of vicious
measures.
Politics left to the INSCRIPTIONS
politician is full of corruption. To
such, purity is an iridescent dream.
He cares naught for the golden rule.
The teachings of the decalogue find
no response in his calloused nature.
He is a general, watching his polit-
ical opponent with irreconcilable
hostility. Mistakes are magnified
and taken advantage of. Victory is
his watchword. He cares nothing
for the peoples interests unless it
affects his political preferment.
Voters are, in his opinion, the pri-
Yates who furnish the sinews of
war. He is a bad mana danger
GUS man. He ought never to be in
legislative body; but he is in all
our legislatures. He is in congress
he was in the Kansas Legislature,
and he, by his assurance, his schem-
ing, his trickery, damaged the state
in it's reputation-damag the peo-
pie in not granting the relief desired.

How Bismarck Proposed.

At the time of her marriage the girl who
is now Bismarck's wife relinquished a
name which would not have misbecome the
heroine of Bah Ballad-von Puttkammer,
writes the Countess Wilhelmina in sketch
of the Princess Bismarck in the December
Ladies' Homo Journal. The Fraulein Jo-
hanna was most oharmingly sweet and
modest country maidsn-in spite OF her
name-when at the wedding of one of her
fiiends at which she was bridesmaid. she
met young Herr Otto Won Bismarck, a
strapping, dissipated, high handed young
dandy of 81, with reputation
for tire-eating and firtations which would
scarcely have disRraced Kentucky colonel
of twice his years. These two young peo-
pie, as Rosalind says, mo sooner met than
they looked, no sooner looked than they
loved" Hence it was that Immediately on
his return from the wedding young Otto
wrote to tha parental Puttkammers, with
acquaintance, demanding the hand Of The
Fraulein Johanna in marriage. The pater-
nal Puttkammer seems to have been some
what Of n diplomatist for without COM
mitting himself to either consent
or refusal, after learning from his
daughter that she cared for young Otto, he
wrote, inviting that estimab!s Young gentle
man to visit him. Preparations were made
to have his reception one of becoming
solemnity and dignity; but the effect was
rather spoiled BY young Bismarck the
moment he alighted going up to his sweet
heart and kissing her soundly in presence
of number OF guests. The immediate
effect OF this embarrassing and shocking
behavior was the prompt announcement of
the betTothal, which was followed year
later by the marriage.
