'NON-PARTTsANp CONVENTIONS.

The Democratic Sentinel in it's re-
part of the 'non-psrtisan" convention
in the Eighth judicial district says:
Hon. d. @. Webb, prominent Republican
farmer OF Morris county, presented the name OF
Mr.. Humphrey 70 the convention, and In an
earnest, welLcOnSidered address, gave we'll
grounded reasons for his preference for Mr..
Humphrey above all men In the district.
Is it not little singular that a Re-
publican one of the elect "a mem
ber Of the only loyal party in America,
should prefer a wicked Democrat
above all men in the district for
Judge? Is it certain that this nomi-
nation is not a rebel trick to lead un-
wary Republican farmers into the
Democratic partyi

IT Was pretty hard fight but the prosperous
Missouri farmers have gone on record as Op-
posed to third party. The Times predicted the
result and based It's opinion on the sturdy Dem
ocracy that has always characterized the
citizens Of this State.-Kansas Cav Times.
Just where may this record be
found? The Times, which has been
on the alert for something of this
kind, has failed to report it. o no,
dear Times, State Alliances neither
organize third parties nor declare
against them. Don't be 80 foolish.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE.

AS we are receiving a good many
applications for Mrs. Diggs to make
speeches, we take this method to an
nounce that she is in Ohio and is
likely to remain there to the end Of
the campaign. No engagements can
therefore be made for her in Kansas

SENATOR PLUMB is reported as say
ing in his speech to the Republican
league, that ''the Republican party is
in better condition to-day than when
it elected Harrison" Such a state
ment in the face Of the recent cleo
tions and the disaffections that pre-
vail in every state in the union, is
the most foolish kind of buncombe.

SEND APPLICATIONS FOR SPEAKERS TO
J. r. FRENCH, TOPEKA.

Applications for speakers for pic
MICS and public gatherings should be
sent to J. B. French, Topeka, Kansas,
and not to this Office. Brother French
has charge of the lecture bureau, and
has quite number of speakers on his
list. When applications are sent to
this Office it causes delay. We can
not always deliver the letters imme-
diately and disappointment is liable
to occur unless application is made at

The sub-treasury plan is the target
for the bitterest attacks Of both the
Democratic and Republican parties,
simply because it strikes a deadly
blow at the financial system by which
the people are robbed, and will there

PARDONs IN BLANK.

The Kensington Mirror of August
27 denies that Governor Humphrey
has signed pardons for violators Of
the prohibitory law in blank, leaving
date to be filed in after the court
should pass sentence. The Mirror is
simply mistaken. Chss. d. Malorie,
a druggist of Madison, Greenwood
county, was arrested for the Illicit
sale of liquor, tried in Greenwood
county by a jury and found guilty.
For some reason the court did not
Immediately pass sentence, and NAL
orie's friends brought his case to the
attention of the governor. He at
once filed out and signed a pardon,
leaving date blank, and this pardon
was in the hands Of Malorie's friends
fourteen days before the sentence was
pronounced by the court The Mir
ror can verify this statement by con-
sulting the county attorney Of Green
wood county.
How much worse is this than the
case of M. Conn, of Lawrence2 Mr..
Conn was arrested for like offence
and proposed to contest the case in
court. On assurance Of immediate
pardon by the governor, he, however,
changed his tactics. His friends
came to Topeka and visited the gov
ernor in his office, where they main
tanned communication with other
friends in Lawrence, and Mr.. Conn
went into court to plead guilty to the
charges against him. Governor
Humphrey waited in his Office for
the case to be called in order not to
be too previous with his pardon.
When the case was called Mr.. Conn
entered his plea Of guilty, the mes
sage was sent TO the governors Office,
the pardon was Immediately signed
and the first train bore it to Law
renee before Mr.. Conn ever saw the
inside Of the jail. A similar case oc-
Cured soon after in Kansas City,
Kansas. II the Mirror desires facts
upon this subject they can be found
without much search. Don't be 50

The grand split which the old

League has come and gone. 1t was
characterized by the same spirit OF
misrepresentation and Justification as
has characterized the Republican
press in it's attitude towards the ALI
snce and the Peoples party. Space
will not at this time permit full re-
view of the proceedings and resolu-
tions. We shall only call attention
to some of the most glaring mis-
representations. In another place
we give the resolutions in full. The
good judgment Of the people supple
mented by the education of the past
two years, render them fully compe-
tent to pass judgment upon the
declarations of these blind leaders Of
the blind.
The resolutions give the usual en-
dorsement to the national and state
administrations, which, of course,
include endorsement of the abuse of
the pardoning power, which was so
severely censured in the case of Gov
ernor Click by this same outfit. They
commend the last Republican Con-
gress for its adherence to the pledges
of the Republican platform Of 1888,
forgetting that that platform con-
tanned the following plank:
The Republican party is In favor Of the use of
both gold and silver as money; and condemns
the policy Of the Democratic administration In
Its efforts to demonetize silver.
Considering the fact that the Re-
publican party is responsible for the
demonetization of silver, this plank
itself is an exhibition of gall which is
only surpassed by this commendNtion
Of the last Congress for redeeming
pledges Of the platform. About the
only pledge of the platform of 1883
that was redeemed by the last Con
gress was the one for reducing the
surplus. No one will dispute the
fulfllment of that pledge.
But the resolutions condemn the
last House of Representatives of this
state for wsstefulness and extrava-
gsnce."
This statement Is made in the face
Of the following facts which are mat
ters Of official record.
First-The enrolment of the bills
of the Republican Senate cost 4,445,
while the enrolment of the House
bills consisting of double the num-
ber of pages, cost only $3,015.
Second-The employees of the
Senate, consisting of forty members,
cost the state over $4,000, while the
employees of the House, consisting of
1875 members, cost less than one-half
that amount.
Third-The appropriations of the
preceding Republican Legislature
were, according to Senator Buchan
(good Republican authority for the
year ending June 80, 1890, 81, ,4O6,O14-
80; and for the year ending June 80,

the people of the state will favor q
little more of it; and when it is re-
membered as a matter of fact and of
record that this saving is entirely due
to the House in cutting out many
items recommended and urged by
the Republican Senate, this resolu-
tion of the League appears in q very
ridiculous light to say the least Of it
The resolutions condemn the last
House of Representatives of this
state for attempting TO pass laws
tending to arouse alarm and distrust
and destroy the credit Of the state"
but they neglect to state what those
laws were. They "denounce the lead
ers of the Peoples party for their ma
licious Misrepresentation of the re-
sources and Indebtedness Of the peo-
pie of this state" Notwithstanding
that these statements of resources and
Indebtedness are derived from the
official census reports. They an
nounce their belief ''that the people
Of Kansas are not only able but will
ing to pay every dollar Of their in
debtedness, and now, as in the past,
condemn repudistion in all its FORMS"
and yet the press of their own party
alone has raised the cry OF repudia-
tion, which has never been in any
way limited at by either the Alliance
or the Peoples party. They have pub
lished and sent broadcast false re-
ports of attempts at reputation on
the part of the people for the sole
purpose of exciting prejudice against
the Alliance. AS an instance Of this
we may cite the case that occurred
at Wichits, where a claim against q
Republican attorney was sent from
an eastern state for collection, and he
answered the collecting agent that he
had "joined the Alliance and quit
paying his debts" This answer was
sent out in the press dispatches and
published under flaming headlines in
all the party papers as an attempt of
an Alliance man to repudiate his
debts Yet this gang of political
hypocrites get together and pass reso-
lutions condemning the late House of
Representatives for destroying the
credit Of the state, and expect intelli-
gent people to swallow these absurdl-
ties. There was time perhaps when
such methods might have been sue
cessful, but that time is past in Kan
sas.
1t will undoubtedly be a surprise
to the people that this assembly of
statesmen should declare themselves
opposed to the snb-treasury and
government loan schemes" and "to
the government ownership of rail-
roads and other means of trsnsporta-
tion." Their Democratic compatriots
have done the same thing; and, in
view Of the prospective union of the
two wings of the plutocratic party, it

Queer Artistic BIunders.

Some very curious blunders may be
seen in old pictures. 1t is related that
Burgoyne, in his " Travels in SPAIN"
noticed painting where Abraham is
preparing to shoot Isaac with pistol
and in a country church in Germany the
painter, in representing the sacrifice of
Isaac, places blunderbus in Abraham's
hand as argument for obedience, and
paints an angel coming down to pour
water on the pan. Huer has painted
the Blessed Virgin as resting on a
velvet sofa playing with cat and a
paroquet, and about to pour herself
coffee from an engraved coffee-pot.

" Little TOm.D

He was only little bird, Little Tom,
and small one at that; but when his
owner lost him she found that he had
big place in her heart. He was a
canary, but instead of being a uniform
yellow color, he was beautifully marked.
Bright yellow and green were his col
ors, exquisitly shaded, his head being
adorned with bright green cap. Little
Tom was never confined to his cage; he
had full liberty to roam about the house,
and confidence begat confidence. 1
think he was fond of his mistress. At
any rate he looked on her attentions as
his proper right, and did not hesitate
to take liberties with her. Did she
sleep too long in the morning, Little
Tom would alight on her head and try
to raise the heavy eyelashes, or in
some way impress her with the import
ance of ministertng to his needs, for he
was great advocate of early break
fasts. Seated on her shoulder and pick
ing seed from her hand or between her
lips, he was happy; but he sometimes
became very angry. AT such moments
he would frown, drawing his green cap
down over his eyes, flap his wings,
screech and prepare for battle; and,
when thus reused, none of the family
cared to NEEDLE with him. All knew
by experience what powerful, sharp
little beak he had, and how ready he
was to use it when aroused by sense
of. wrong to vengeance. Yes, Little
Tom was part of her life in those d, Us.
His cunning ways endeared him to her,
and she never thought of losing him,
nor of the blank in her heart his loss
would create; but his hour came. The
little bird, with his exquisite grace aud
cunning ways and gush of melody was
lost in death. Years have passed, but
little Tom is not forgotten, and to his
influence upon his owners the Easton
(Penn.) branch of the Audubon ST.
ciety owes its rigin.-Selected.

Curing a StingY BOY.

Jimmy was the stingiest boy you
ever knew. He couldn't bear to give
away a cent, nor bite of an apple, nor
a crumb of candy. He couldn't even
bear to lend his sled or his hoop or
skates. All his friends were very sorry
he was so stingy, and talked to him
about it; but he couldn't see any rea-
son why he should give away what he
wanted himself. eff l didn't want
it," he would say, "p'r'aps l would
give it away; but why should l give it
away when / want il MYSELF" "Be-
cause it is nice to be generous"
said his mother, " and to think about
the happiness of other people. 1t
makes you feel happier and better your
SELF Ii you give your sled to little
ragged Johnny, who never bad one in
his life, you will feel thousand times
better watching his enjoyment of it
than if you had kept it yourself"
" WE'LL" said Jimmy, "Ill try it,"
The sled was sent off. "How soon
shall | feel better?" he asked, by and
by. 81 don't feel as we'll as l did
when had the sled. Are you sure l
shall feel better?" Certainly" an
swered his mother, "but if you should
keep on giving something away you
would feel better all the sooner"
Then he gave away kite, and thought
he didn't feel quite as well as before.
He gave away silver piece that he
meant to spend for taffy. Then he
said: don't like this giving away
things; it doesn't agree with me. l
don't feel any better. 1 like being
stingy better" Just then ragged
Johnny came up the street dragging
the sled, looking proud as a prince,
and asking all the boys to take slide
with him. Jimmy began to smile as he
watched him, and said: "You might
give Johnny my old overcoat; he's
hitler than am, and he doesn't seem
to have one. 1 think-I guess-I
know Pm beginning to feel so much
better. I'm glad l gave Johnny my
sled. I'll give away something else"
And Jimmy has been feeling better
ever since.-Our Little Ones.

Patent medicines differ
One has reasonableness, an
other has not. One has repu-
tation-another has not. One
has confidence, born of sue
cess - another has only
"hopes."
Don't take it for granted
that all patent medicines are
alike. They are not.
Let the years of uninter-
rupted success and the tens
of thousands of cured and
happy men and women, place
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription
on the side of the comparison
they belong.
And there isn't a state or
territory, no nor hardly a
country in the world, whether
its people realize it or not,
but have men and women
in them that're happier be-
cause of their discovery and
their effects.
Think of this in health.
Think Of it in sickness. And

afford to make the trial if
the makers can afford to take
the risk to give your money
back as they do if they do
not benefit or cure you.
