Mr.. Foster on Finance.

The chamber of commerce, New
York, recently gave it's annual din
ner. Mr.. Secretary Foster was
present, and made a speech. Fig
uratiHely speaking, he hugs
the government with delight,
because it has so ably wrestled with
the great problem of maintaining
silver on a parity with gold. He
saws that if we had free coinage,
all the power of the government
could not maintain parity. Mr..
Foster at least makes one truthful
statement i'm that he admits that a
gold basis is too narrow with the
present supply the annual product
being only about $3O,00O,OOO per
annum. If a gold basis is too mar
row a basis for our financial system,
and it must be when Mr.. Foster
saws it is, then how much too mar
row? and why insist upon too
narrow basis? Mr.. Foster cannot
be unaware that in reality all the
money of the United States is sub
iect to gold standard. Now if
the government really wishes to
keep silver at par with gold, it has
only to decree that silver is legal
tender for all debts, both public and
private.

1t Has Fallen from Its First Love

ii
Since the late war up to this A,
d. 1891, Republican editors, man
ayers and bosses Of Kansas and
elsewhere, have missed no opportu-
nifty of shaking the bloody shirt at
the Democratic party, and heaplng
all manner of abuse upon it. From
the time prohibition was adopted IN
Kansas, by the people, up to this
year, 1891, Republican professed-
prohibitionists have stood up and
told the people that the Republican
party was the legitimate parent OF
prohibition in Kansas. The party
during this time has been telling
the people that prohibition is The
fixed policy of the state; conse-
quently it favored the enforcement
of the prohibitory laws Of the
state. We mention the foregoing
as being the pretended graces of the
Republican party in Kansas, and
other places under similar circum-
stances Now we will notice some
of the monkey-shines of it's falling
from the aforesaid graces, viz:
During the latter part of 1889, or
the first part of 1890, anti-prohibi-
ton literature was circulated all
over the state, in which appeared
an address, which reads as follows :
To THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS:
Either an extra session of the
legislature, or three more years OF
the prohibition wall around Kansas,
excluding capital and immigration.
Which shall it be !
The Legislature must prepare all
amendments to the constitution.
Two-thirds of all the members
elected to both houses must concur
in the amendment. 1t must be
published in at least one newspaper
in each county in the state, for three
months. 1t must then be voted fol
by the people. If majority vote
for it, it is adopted. 1t can be voted
on, however, only at an election at
which representatives are voted for.
This will be next November, and
every two years thereafter. In or
der, therefore, that the people may
vote again upon the question o
prohibition at the next November
election, an extra session of the
legislature will have to he called
The constitution expressly author
ICES the governor to do this OF
occasions as the present. The cos
of an extra session will amount to ;
mere nothing compared to the i'm
mediate advantages all sections o
1 the state would derive. lmmigrant'
and capitalists will start for Kansas
as soon as re-submission is assured
viii the governor do it? lie will

undoubtedly, provided enough Re-
pubIicans unite in petitioning him
to do so. He can have no motive
for refusing so reasonable a request,
if made by a large number Of Re
pnblicans. We want to vote on
this question next November.
Three years is too long to wait and
keep the tide of capital and immi-
grafton turned from our state by a
continuance of this Objectionable
prohibition law. AS the time is short
let lis eXort you to be active.
Do not delay an hour. See to it
that every Republican voter in your
county favoring re-submission signs
the re-submission petition. Be
quick, be thorough, be fearless, en-
thusiastic and confident, for the
people are with us. Victory is at
hand, and all era of extraordinary
prosperity will follow as soon as
Kansas puts herself in harmony
with common sense, and in position
to compete for immigration upon
equal terms with her sister states.
STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
Republican Re-submissin Club.
The petition referred to in this
address was duly submitted to his
excellency, the governor, but owing
to his being a pretended prohibl-
zionist, with party scruples of fear,
he refused to entertain the petition
TO that ruling the re-submission de-
partment of the Republican party OF
Kansas took exceptions, and formed
a fusion with the Democratic party.
But when their votes were counted,
fusion stood away back in the mi
nority, and the Republican party
was pretty badly used up by four
months-old party called the Gal
lance party" Then the cry was
howled all along the Republican
lines in Kansas, that "the credit OF
the state was ruined-that the tide
of capital and immigration will be
turned away from the state unless
the Alliance is smashed to pieces y
Thus we see there are two fac
tions in the Republican party o.
Kansas, that are bowling, "driving
capital and immigration away from
the state" One of these factions
is the liquor monopoly, and the
other is the Shylock monopoly
Take these monopolies out of the
party, and it's a blank. AS has beer
fully demonstrated in the campaign
of this year, by it's editors, mana
gers, railroad attorneys, oflice-hold
ers and hunters, parsons anC
deacons, Doodle and whisky. Th,
whole hue and cry of this Repub
lican crew was, anything possible

mean, dirty and damnable, to smash
the Peoples party to pieces. For
this purpose they forsook their first
love, namely, that of shaking the
bloody garment and abusing the
Democrats, and did as their liquor
monopoly brothers did year ago
fuse with the Democrats. They
also forsook their second love-that
of pretending to be prohibition
party. Billie Higgins said it must
be done for the sake of Republican
success, and it was done. And
now Butterfield, secretary of the
state Republican league, says that
the great majority Of the re-submis-
sion Republican vote has come
home to stay. This we may take
to mean q Shylock and liquor mo-
nopoIy fusion in the Republican
partv. and that we need not be sur
prised to hear the cry all along it's
lines, that prohibition and the Peo-
ple's party are driving capital and
immigration away from the state,
and that prohibition and the Peo-
ple's party must he downed, for the
sake of Republican success, in
order that plutocratic monopoly
NAV continue it's deviltry unmo-

THE palaver indulged by Senator
Plumb and other Republicans about
"winning back the Republicans
who have gone off with the Az
lance, by kind words and concili-
atory policy" is, if anything, more
disgusting than the war-to-the-knlfe
policy of the Capital school of poll
ticians. We prefer an open tight
and knock-down arguments to the
patronizing, sycophantic, hypocrltic-
al style of worming. If the Alliance
and Peoples party principles are
right they are right, and no sort OF
honied words or speciOus promises
will have any effect in changing
men who have the courage OF their
convictions. Plumb's "conciliatory
policy" will prove about as effect
i've in winning back his "erring
brethren" as catching birds by
putting salt on their tails.--Alliance

Seeing and Knowing.

An eminent Lord Chief Justice, who
was trying n right -of-wRy case, had
before him witness an old farmer
who was proceeding To tell the jury
that lie had "knowed the path for
sixty yeer, and my feytheer told a.
he heered my grandfeyther zcy--"
stop ~ said the Judge; I'VE can't
have any hcarsay evidence here!
"NotY' exclaimed Father Giles.
Then how dost know who thy
fayther was 'cept by hearsayt'
After the laughter had subsidized
the Judge said: "In courts OF law
we can only be guided with what you
have seen with your eyes, and moth
ing more or less
"Oh, that be blowed for a talel' re
piled the farmer. II ha' got bile on
the back OF my neck, and i never
seed 'un but | be prepared TO swear
he's there, dang 'un,'
This second triumph on the part of
the witness set IN IA torrent OF hear
say evidence about the footpath
which obtained weight with the jury,
albeit the judge told them It was not
testimony Of any value, and the
farmers party won.

Stories Of General Jackson.

on the Mechanicsville turnpike, near
Richmond, a generous, whole souled
Virginia gentleman, who. however,
was very passionate and eIcitable,
and who when Hurried was apt 10
mix up the ereverential and the profane,
the sublime and the ridiculous in an
odd kind of way He had given up
all his crops, pasture fields and every
thing he could spare TO the Confed-
crate government, but he had reserved
a ten acre lot OF corn for his own use.
and this he watched with unceasiug
vigilance. One day while on the
watch he discovered a group OF horse
men approaching, and instead OF go
ing around the fence they took di-
rect cut across the reserved corn patch.
The farmers wrath was aroused and
in G terrible passion he shouted: "liow

MY BOY BILL.

Ny boy Bill, / min him well.
Fur when that boy was born
felt ez proud ez any king.
'Twuz early in the morn
They told me that II wuz boy
The first we ever had.
And I'll just bet you never seen
A happier young dad.
An when l seen him first | thought
Well, much like most folks think;
Ez he wuz bout the finest child
That ever crossed the brink.
Fur he had feeturs much like me,
But Sarah's lovely eyes;
He suited me ez well ez If
I'd picked him in the skies.
He wuz ez cute ez cute could be.
An then, he growed SO fast
That, when couple years had gone,
An baby days were past,
He used TO meet me at the mine,
An carry home dads can,
An, bless his little heart, he felt
Ez big ez any man.
But 'tWuZn' long afOTe IL came
He had one NV his own;
An orn when he trudged by me
My heart 1t felt like stone
To see that boy loved SO well
4 folleTu after me;
But folks must work fur bread TO eat.
An SO II had to be.
When he wuz young used TO plan
Fur schoolin' an all such,
But while old arms is wearin' out
Young stomachs grow SO much;
An bread comes fore the readin' books
For learnin' couldn't fill
The little mouths ez wuZ at home,
An so | took young Bill.
| see him now. How proud he wuZ,
An full NV boyish glee.
The mornin' that he started first
To work along with me
I'm help long, dad" he used to say,
Fur I'm ezstrong ez you"
An SO he was, but when coal falls
1t never asks on who.
Fur If II did 1t never would
Have left its weight on Bill;
An me not twenty feet away;
But then 1t wuZ Gods Will;
An ez we rolled that lump of him,
My poor, dead. mangled hoy,
A lump OF sorrow fell on me-
An crushed out every joy.
Just trust IN Cod" the preacher said,
"An' He yer loadll bear"
I've done It, yet 1t seems to me
I'm carrying my share.

A Finished Prayer,

Inc SICK room WIS very s'Ii' 'hV
night-lamp burned low, and the
watchers made fantastic shadows on
the wall, but no one III owed or spoke.
The doctor said this was the turning
point OF the disease, and there was
nothing TO do but wait-wait.
The boy slept and Iii. father kept
his eyes fixed upon the thin wasted
features. andi watched for what he
hoped would prove new lease OF life.
The mother had gone TO lie down and
rest. The nurse sat near and dozed'
AT last the sick child suddenly opened
his large bright eyes and said In a
clear voice:
Papa
"Whst, dear boy" answered the
father softly.
us it near morning.
Yes, dear boy
And will be well in the morning
II hope so" sobbed the poor
father, family.
There was long silence, then the
sick child moved restlessly on his pill
lows.
Il want TO say my prayers he
murmured.
The father beckoned TO the nurse
and she brought the III other. who
stole softly in and knelt OH the other
side OF the bed
Lift me up said the dying child
in full clear voice; hold me, papa,
while | say my prayers.
He clasped his little hands together
and repeated like one who was dream
ing
"Our-Father-w which art in heav
- hallowed 49, be Thy name - Thy
Kingdom - come-Thy Kingdom -
come --'
Papa, | can't remember! | can't
remember
mo matter, dear boy, you can FIN
,sh it in the morning
Again he lay among the pillows
like a pale lily and his eyes were
open wide.
II can't see you, papa he muir
INJURED. Twill it soon be morningy
Yes, dear boy
And will be well Them
The poor father could not answer.
No one spoke, and a faint light soon
stole into the room that drowned the
nickering rays Of the night lamp and
shone rosy on the wall. Then sud
denly "A little voice filed the room. IL
was so sweet and clear that il sound
ed like a strain Of music from celestial
spheres. 1t was the dying boy fin
ishing his prayer! When he came TO
the last clause he seemed cropping in
doubt.
Forever and ever-forever aud
ever and with the words on his lips
he drifted of to sleep again.
The rising sun shone into the room
and lighted up its dim obscurity. 1t
lay in golden bars on the white pill
lows. and touched the little face with
mocking glow OF health and
strength Perhaps it wakened him.
but in the valley of the shadow Of
death he could not discern, and with
wide open eyes that saw not, he
murmured plaintively:
is it nearly morning, papaf
1T is morning now, dear boy"
A smile trelnbIed on the closed lips
there was hutter OF breath that
came and went as the child clasped
his thin hands together.
Forever and ever-Amen!'
