The Way to Grow Rich.

Those Who Save Portion of Their
Earnings, Are Sure to Prosper.
Charles Dickens, who was a
great student of human nature,
in his "David Copperfeld"
makes MIR. Micauber observe:
eff a man had 20 pounds a
year for his income, and spent
19 pounds, 10 shillings and 6
pence, he would be happy; but
if he spent 20 pounds and one
farthing, he would be misera-
ble." The truth ofs.this quaint
ly expressed warning is every
day shown by the happy re-
suits which come to those, who
from their earnings however
small-are able and willing to
lay by a portion for a future
day. This habit has laid the
foundation for many a fortune,
and proved of inestimable val
ue in time of need, aud, those
who have practiced buying
their wall decorations, window
curtains, paints. oils, varnishes
and brushes Of Saur & Balls
ley, are willing to testify that
they have been able to deco
rate and repaint their homes as
well as their neighbors and still
have enough to eventually
place them in easy circumstan-
ces. If you are not now a
customer, better become one
at once and you will soon see
how easy it is to solve the
problem elbow to save money"
It is simply : remarkable
what fine wall paper can be
bought for very little money.
1t is now possible to paper an
entire house with elegant and
artistic paper and yet not ex-
pend an unnecessary and ex-
horbitant sum. The display Of
unique and novel patterns in
wall paper made by Saur & Balls.
ley, is the admiration Of all who
have looked at it. 1t is astock
to please everybody.
No intending buyer Of wal
paper can afford to overlook
this large stock, which con
tains three patterns to every
one shown by all others com
bined in this locality. This is
a fact that can readily be es.
tablished by a visit to then
store.
Saur & Balsley's paints and
oils have an established repu.
tation. They are known as
the best the market affords and
sold as cheap, if not cheaper
than inferior goods. Brighter
up your houses by applying
some Of these paints and you
not only make your homes at
tractive, but a thing Of beauty
and comfort.
Then again, examine theil

The Duty of the Church to the Poor.

lido not hesitate to say that the de-
velopment of the power of self help, self
respect and self dependence can be and
should be the work of the Christian
church in all her branches. If Chris
tianity cannot, to this extent, leaven the
masses of the wage workers, it has failed,
and, at least temporarily, must continue
to fail. The wild ruin resulting from
that failure may recall the church of
Christ to field that her faithless dis
obedience has led her for time to aban-
don.
She believes in the value of man, for
in him, be he never so fallen, she sees a
spark of everlastingness She processes
to accept her Masters commands as di-
vine laws binding on herself. His words
and acts are perfectly plain; he never
contemplated the abolition of all power
ty, but he did distinctly command that
men should, es they valued his gospel or
professed obedience to himself, draw
near to each other, forgetting and ignor-
ing those things that for short time
made them to differ.
He declared that the innermost and
eternal verities of our nature all men
have in common, and that his followers
were to make much Of these, while they
were to make less Of their differences of
possession and attainment. Weakness,
failure, poverty were to draw us to our
brother, not drive us from him, for in
the prevalence of these drawing, uniting,
loving forces over the sundering and
disuniting forces lay the hope Of our
race-he called it the coming of the
kingdom of the Son of Man.-Rev. DR..

THE Masons of Ohio have already
raised $35, 900 toward a 100000 home
which they propose to erect for the
comfort of the INDECENT members of
their ancient fraternity. 1t is not yet
known where the home will be located,
that is a matter of small importance
when compared with the purpose itself
of building home. The whole $780,
0OO when raised, is to be expended in
the construction. The site for the home
will no doubt be donated. 1t is not
proposed to erect large building into
which the unfortunate brothers would
be crowded like soldiers in barracks,
but to have a village of cottages in
which all the comforts ofa home could
be furnished. The question Of the
maintenance of such an institution has
been already settled, for the various
Masonic bodies of the state have pledg-
ed sufficient annual subscriptions to
constitute an ample endowment. No
more worthy cause was ever presented
to any Ohio fraternity than is this one
of home for Masons.

THE farmers meeting at Columbus
last week adopted the following plat
form of principles:
l. All forms of wealth to be listed at
actual value, less actual Indebtedness.
2. A system of school books at actual
cost.
8. Suppression of all traffic of intoxi-
eating liquors as a beverage.
4. Suppression of free railroad passes
or other gifts to legislators, judges CT
courts, county auditors, and other pub
lie officials.
5. That we demand the issue of not
less than $50 per capita of full legal ten
per money, to consist of gold and silver,
on parity with each other, and pa
per.
8. For the carrying out of this dec
laration of principles, we declare in fa-
vor of, and recommend to the farmers
of Ohio to see to it that no man be
nominated or elected a representative
or senator from any agricultural coun-
ty or district in Ohio who will not
stand squarely on this platform.
Z. To this end we call upon and in
vite all laboring and legitimate business
men to cooperate with us.

Eight Prizes.

ANY one who has ever visited a county
cattle fair" knows for what a great variety
of animals, articles and contests prizes are
awarded. 1t is seldom, however, that one
exhibitor has such a successful set of pos
sessions as those of Uncle Ahab Drake.
Uncle Ahab, with his entire family, a
large stock of fruit and vegetables, a yoke
of oxen and various other animals, went to
the fair at Greenby one fine September
day and returned in triumph two days
later He presented himself at the village

WILL THE FARMERS OF KANSAS
ENDORSE?

| The Alliance leaders of the late legis-
lature omitted no opportunity to deride
the intirmatives of the pensioned soldier,
and to insult the memory of the dead
| Some of the members of that body were
| but thinly disguised anarchists who be-
| lieved in but one kind of war. that of
the bomb thrower and the assassin. The
man who marched away under his coun-
try's flag to hardshipS and to death were
inspired only by mercenary motives, and
those who returned crippled wrecks are
but hospital pimps, seems to have
been the estimate of the leaders, as it
was the language INDUCED in by some of
their organs. Many abuses have I'M
doubleday crept into the administrations
of government in this country, because
administrations are but human, but
whatever the waste, the duplicity the
extravaganza, the majority of the men
who elected the Alliance legislature will
never endorse such sentiments as were
sought to be inculcated under rulership
whose oracle was Sam Wood, and whose
ideal proved to be PETER. These
men who criep economy, but who
ran aiot in their own legislative extrav-
agances and then utterly refused any re-
lief to the tax payer, tearing to pieces,
like savages, the senate's bill for relief
from hundreds of thousands of dollars of
extravaganza fees and thieving salaries,
were not representatives in fact of the
Kansas farmer, statement that will be
more fully appreciated later on. Never
before in the history of this state were
such high handed steals, such unblush-
ing demagogy and such outrageous
methods resorted TO as by that body.
Like sheep the majority followed these
INSCRIPTIONS leaders, like children they
obeyed without question the monitory
gestures of one who didn't hesitate to
pocket their bills or burn them as it
might profit him, nor dare object when
the same man demanded thirty-seven
thousand dollars of the peoples money
that it might be personally avenged of
an enemy.

WHISPERS AND SOCKS.

Jerry Simpson is already complaining
that his constituents are flooding him
with letters, that they are making hack
of him to look after individual and local
claims and interests, when, as he says,
he conceives it to be his duty to study up
the national situation and look after
those measures which will benefit the
whole. Mr.. Simpson will find out that
he must either get down off his high
patriotic hobby and serve his particular
Alliance hackers here in the Seventh dis
trict of Kansas, or they will find some
body else who will. He talks grandilo-
quently Of ''the interests of the few" in
contradistinction to the welfare of the
many. Jerry says he hardly knows
whether his fame is due to his head or
his feet. He may not know, indeed, but
every observant man knows that to the
sockless item started over the land by the
EAGLE is due his fame But for that in
cident, conceived by the youngest writer
on this paper, he would have been known
to the world only as the other four ALI
ance congressman elected from this state.
Jerry should cherish his socks, and
PETER should nourish his whiskers, for,
respectively, these are the sole badges of
their superiority over their fellows. De-
prive PETER of his whiskers and Jerry
of his sockless feet, and both put togeth-
er wouldn't amount as an advertisement
for Kansas as much as Mrs. Lease, who
sports neither.

a TARDY CONCESSION.

From the Topeka Capital.
Will the Resubmissionists now go in
with the Democrats? 1t seems the ALI
ance is squarely against them, and they
have kicked out of the Republican traces
to large extent. We should regret to
see them join the Democracy. We be-
lieve it will be better to fight it out IN
the Republican ranks. The Republican
party is the most liberal one in existence
and we hope the "Reminiscences who
are Republicans will not be drawn from
the party by the demands of the liquor
interest. There are more important IS
sues in the next campaign than Resub-
mission and 1t would be ignoble to jeop-
ardise them for a factional cause.
Its advocates can afford to fight and
wait. As parties now stand in the state
they would gain nothing by allying
themselves with any other party. They
cannot, by uniting with the Democryts,
carry the state, because they are not
strong enough to accomplish their
ends that way. Resubnission
is a mere local issue, the
demands for it existing only
in few localities, and Republicans
ought not to be willing to lend them
selves to the scheme TO dismember the
party out of any spirit of iil-feeling
toward the majority of Republicans.
The press has not engaged in any TRADE
of abuse of Republican resubmissionists
because they are respectable in point of
numbers and personal character. 1t diff
fers with them widely, and could not,
under any circumstances, advise re-
turn to the saloon system, yet it is will
my they shall have respectful hearing.
Resubmission is simply now, in view of
the gigantic struggle of 92, side issue,
and no man who believes in the over
shadowing doctrines of the Republican
party can afford to take any position
inimical to its interest. We hope to see
the Republican resubmissionists pursue
the wise course, and remain with their
party.

but what sight it was, and he lived for a
quarter of an hour and cursed jim to his
very last breath. He called ont that the
Lord would surely punish him. and he
prayed that i'll luck might follow him, and
he cast hoodoo over him as sure as we
stand here"

"There is no well about it. On the next
trip Jim had collision, on the very next
he had a hand smashed, and in six months
he lost his place. Then his wife died, a
sharper beat him out of 500 he had saved

boat They saved him. but he's penniless,
walking in the shadow of death, and Fll
bet you there isn't an hour in the day he

old train knows it is."-New York Sun.

Nautilus, in his day, could not foresee
the vast inventions that were to improve
all our methods and thereby increase
production at a rapidly accelerating
ratio; and who can foreteU what old
Mother Earth has in store for the human
family, under still higher civilization:
viii not our inventions and methods
likewise pale into insignlficancel Has
not Mr.. Davis overlooked this important
factor-this higher development to which
the race is attaining, with all its varied
possibilities?
But, even allowing that there is a
limit to food production, 1t does
not follow, necessarily, that
population will ultimately press beyond
it to the starvation limit. France fur
nisfes practical argument against the
Malthusian hypothesis, as her population
has been almost stationary for many
years, whereas her wealth has increased
many fold. This shows that population
may fail to increase materially from
other causes than want Of the necessl-
ties of life.
Whatever checks operate to prevent
the increase of population in France
will likewise apply to other countries,
and. as our civilization becomes Older,
will be SO applied with the same unerring
results long before population presses
hard upon subsistence, should such
possibility ever occur. And It's not for
US to dwell upon the nature OF these
checks to population: they have been
fully considered by writers on political
economy. 1t is enough to say that we
have an unbounded faith in the final ele-
Walton of the whole human family, and
a corresponding diminution of vice, mis-
erv and disease. III. M w.
