DECORATION DAY.

Hon. Tim Mccarthy, department COM
mander of the Kansas G. A. R., in his
general orders" for Decoration day,
uses some very pretty and effective
words. He says: 1.-THE purest and love
Hest manifestation of nature is in the
blooming flower, and when those loved
ones, whom we cherish and adore above
every other thing in this world, are
taken from us, around and upon the
casket in which their bodies rest are
placed the choicest and sweetest flowers,
and at each returning spring their graves
bloom with the roses of undying love.
Flowers are the most fitting and beauti-
ful expression of sympathy, sorrow and
love. This day has become sacred, and
this custom universal, because we hold
the memory of our comrades fresh and
green in our hearts, and the good people
of America delight to honor the memory
of those brave and true men who by
their loyalty and valor preserved to COM
ing generations the most beneticent gov
eminent the world has ever seen. With
these high and inspiring motives in all
our hearts, let us enter into the exercises
of Memorial Day and permit nothing of
festive character 10 mar it. Patriot
ism, love and gratitude should fill our
hearts and inspire our lives on this day
set apart to this sacred USE"

A DEMOCRATIC sIDEsHow.

How the south looks at the action of
the Cincinnati convention is we'll put by
the Montgomery Advertiser. the lead
ing Democratic organ of Alabama:
1t is gratifying to see that the conserv-
alive south was little represented in this
conference and its werk. Alabama was
not there. The Alliance leaders in this
state went to the st. Louis conference
and have been sorry for it ever since. So
they staid away this time, and appear to
have kept any of their followers from
going. Nor We're Mississippi, South
Carolina, North Carolina or Virginia on
hand, while Grorgia, Tennessee, Louis
lana, Florida and Texas were sparcely
represented.
The effect of the Peoples party will be
to disorganize and break down the Re-
publican party in the west. 1t will help
Democracy there, and will not weaken
it in the south. In this respect it will
prove far more effective than did mug
wumpism in the east. If it puts presi-
dental ticket in the field next year, it
will only result in reducing western
strongholds to a minority, while the
Democracy will remain comparatively
intact with a safe plurality.
The Peoples party will prove ephe-
neral, but while it lives and moves and
has its being, the sum total of its results
will be for the benefit of the national
Democracy.

A LITTLE LEGISLATIVE HISTORY.

If the Alliance legislature had simply
wanted to be rid of Botkin it could have
accomplished its purpose without cost
TO the state by abolishing his district.
As it is the people have been put to an
enormous expense and Botkin is still in
Office. The Alliance party has lost
more by its partisan attempt than it has
gained. --Emporia Republican.
This plan was suggested to the ALI
ance leaders before they had impeached
Judge Botkin, but they refused to listen.
After they had impeached him and dis
covered the great expense involved in
the proceeding, bill abolishing Judge
BOtkins district was introduced, and the
rules suspended and placed on third
reading, no action being taken for there
consideration of the resolutions of i'm
parchment. The record of this infa-
nous transaction will be found on page
S23 of the journal The bill passed by a
vote of g. to So but one Republican
voting with the Alliance and no Demo-
Gratis. The annals of parliamentary trials
does not furnish another instance of such
base cowardice. The proceedings hav-
ing already commenced before the sem
ate that body could not pass the bill
abolishing the district without stultify-
ing itself, and hence, paid no attention
to the house bill.-Ft. Scott Monitor.

Farmers In western Nebraska are
thoroughly aroused on the irrigation
question. and are taking very effective
steps locking to the artificial supply of
water for agricultural purposes. The
Omaha Republican is Of the opinion that
a system of irrigation will soon be devei-
oped throughout the rainlesS bat fer
tile regions of the weSG. Interest in the
question may be revived in Kansas two
or three months hence. but Just now it
is an obsolete proposition. We are a
good deal like the fellow that the Ar
kansaw Traveller interviewed about the
roof of his house.

WINFIELD CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLY

The second number of the Assembly
Herald is being distributed, and the pro-
gram as announced, is by far the strong

The management has evidently come to

i Case for Judge Lynch.

From the Kansas City Star.
Miss Cooley, eldest daughter of Eli
Cooley. a respected pioneer OF Osceola,
Mo-. is now a raving maniac whose life
is despaired OF, all because the man she
loved and TO whom she was to have been
married few days hence hat married
another woman. William Hobbs, form
erly of this town, now resident OF Car
son Center, is the man. He and Miss
Cooley had been engaged for long
time The wedding day was agreed upon
three different times, and, although the
brides nuptials were postponed. A few
weeks ago Hobbs wrote, asking that the
wedding take place very soon. Miss
Cooley assented. Last Monday the ex-
pectant bride was told that the man upon
whom her affections were conferred had
married woman in Bates county. Her
reason left her and, although physicians
have been in constant attendance, she
has been sinking gradually until now
there is little chance for her recovery.

The Paducah Standard saws ''if" John
Young Brown, the Democratic nominee
for governor of Kentucky, brings to the
gubernatorial chair the same
zeal and boldness and ability
that marked his congressional
career, he will be the most popular gov
ernor the state has had in recent years.
Why say eff? Can it be that there is
any doubt about the Democrats holding
the Gibralter of Democracy? Is the Al
lance or new party gaining so rapidly as
to already threaten the star eyed goddess?

As soon as we get out of one trouble
with our transalpine friends, the Ital-
ians, we are forced into another. The
slayer of an Italian subject in New York
was acquitted of the crime which was
pronounced by the trial jury in their
verdict as no crime. And the spectators
in the court room applauded the verdict.
The only thing that will save US in this
case from strained situation with the
Italian government, if that does, is the
circumstance that the killing was done
by an Italian. The case was stated in
yesterday mornings dispatches.

Miss Anthony Statue.
From the New York sun.


In the design for the statue of Miss
Susan B. Anthony that is 70 be erected
by the Woman's Memorial association,
that renowned champion of female suf-
frage appears as an aged lady meek and
mild. 1t IS not thus that Miss Anthony
should be presented and represented to
posterity. She should be made to appear
as she was in the full glory Of her
womanhood, when waging the battle for
her cause, and when, with energy and
volubility. she delivered her appeals 10
mankind in its behalf. We are sure
that Miss Anthony herself must entertain
this opinion.

they are dyed yellow, black or red, accord

A Texas ex-magistrate was arrested a
day or two ago for a murder commit
ted thirty-four years ago. That was
all right and proper, but it will not
have as much as title of the infiu-

community this week or next as
would the arrest, conviction and pun
ishment of a murderer of last week or
last month. Promptne5s and certainty
are the two features in the laws opera

these it becomes something of a farce.

Humbugs Preferred.

From the Meade Republican.
No one succeeds SO surely in this life as
man who is willing to gull the world.
1t is the doctor who offers to perform
miracles who becomes rich; it is the
banker who offers to do the impossible
that gets the deposits; it is the merchant
who offers to sell things for less than
they cost who draws the crowd. the pity
of it is that this crowd never learns that
philanthropy is not the law of life. and
that all these SPECTATORS are bent on
making money out of them. Talk about
experience-why the world does nol
even learn that.
