IMPORTING MORE SONG BIRDS.
Oregon Is Setting an Example Which
Older States May Follow.

The success which has attended the
introduction of the German song birds
will be the means of bringing many
more birds here, and Oregon will be an
/ example for older states in this matter
! says the Portland Oregonian. The
wonderful increase of the Chinese
| pheasants brought here by Judge 0. n.
Denny. combined with the importation
of song birds, has done more to call at
teDtion to Oregon than anything else in
which the same amount of money has
been expended. The society for i'm
porting song birds is preparingto have
a lot more brought here.
| Seid Back. the well-known Chinese
merchant, who has been about twenty
one years here, and has prospered be-
yond his expectations, thinking he owes
some debt of gratitude to this state, has
ordered a lot of song birds brought
over from China on the Coloma, of
which vessel ne is a part owner. He
told the steward to buy and bring over
a lot last spring, but the fellow was
| afraid to chance it, fearing the birds
would die. What difference would
that make to you?" said Seid Back,
when told why his birds did not come.
Il told you to bring them. l pay for
them, you take good care of them on
the passage, and if they die it cannot be
helped"
SO the steward has instructions to
| buy and bring over all the chin chin
birds or Tienstin larks, and any other
song birds he can find IN Hong Kong,
and if he has good luck and gets them
here alive we shall have the descend
ants of the birds whose sweet songs
delighted the ears Of Confucius meet
ing here the descendants of the bird
which sang in most heilige manner
tc the Germans who destroyed Farus
and his legions long before America
was invented or even thought of. AS
the Chinese birds do not sing in Chinese
they will probably have no more sticks
and stones thrown at them than the
German birds.
Our English. Scotch and Irish citizens
should follow the example of our Ger
man and Chinese citizens and bring
out some specimens of the lark, cuckoo,
"linnet mavis merle and other fine
song birds we read of under different
names rs natives of the British Isles, not
forgetting the banshee, which is peculi-
arly an Irish bird

A California EquipaSe.

At this time there was not in Cali
fornia any vehicle except rude Cali
fornia cart; the wheels were without
tires aud were made by telling an oak
tree and hewing it down till it made a
solid wheel nearly a foot thick on the
rim and a little larger where the axle
went through. The hole for the axle
would be eight or nine inches in di-
ameter but a few years use would in-
crease it TO foot. TO make the hole.
an auger. gouge, or chisel was some
times used. but the principal tool was
an AK. A small tree required but little
hewing and shaping to answer for an
axle. These carts were always drawn
by oxen, the yoke being lashed with
rawhide to the horns. To lubricate
the axles they used soap Chat is one
thing the MeXicaus could make), carry
ing along for the purpose big pal. of
thick SoapSudS which was constantly
put in the box or hole; bat you could
generally tell when California cart
was coming half mile away by the
squeaking. ] have seen the families of
the wealthiest people 60 long distances
at the rate OF thirty miles or more a
day. visiting in one of these clumsy
two-wheeled vehicles. They had a
little framework around it made of
round sticks, and Il bullock hide was
put in for floor or bottom. Some
times the better class would have a
little calico for curtains and cover.
There was no such thing as a spoked
wheel in use then.-G G.nerat BHttOeH IN

Court Your Wife.

Oh middle-aged man. I've word with you.
As you sit in your Office this morn;
Has the worry of life. with its folly and strife
Pierced your heart like 4 fostering thorn?
Does the touch of your gold feel to- clammy
and cold.
Are you weary of fiattery's scorn?
Alas for the days when the passions of you'll
Burn low in the desolate itcaFtl
When the laughter and tears of our innocenl
years
Never more from the sympatles start.
And the hideous mien of indulgence is seen
Meath the fiattering mantle OF art.
Perhaps you've tried friendship, and only
have found
Deception and selfishness rife:
Perhaps you have poured to the needy YOU
To be pricked by ingratitudc's knife:
And perhaps you have been through the whole
round of sin
Did you ever try courting your wife?
No? Then take my advice and l think yor
will find
'Tfs a pleasure as charming as new.
Follow memory's track till at last you arc
back
To the days when you swore to be true
Yea, dream more and more till she seems rs OF
To be watching and signing for you.
And when you go home tonight buy bou-
Of the flowers She used to admire
Put them into her hand when before her you
stand.
With iover-like kiss of desire,
And OH Watch her eyes when they ope with
surprise,
And flame up from smoldering fret
Then all the long evening be tender and kind
Hover near her with eager delight:
Cal her Darling" and Sweet" the old titles
repeat
Till her face is with happiness bright
Try it, wOrld-wcaried man. It's an excellent
plan.

Paternalism vs Personal Liberty.

The peoples party papers refer to
Russia as authority as to the operation
and effect of the sub-treasury system.
They claim that the sub-trras ury has
been in operation for a long time in
Russia. 1t is nothing strange that
such a system should exist i'm purely a
paternal form of government There
is no such thing as personal or individ-
ual liberty or personal rights in Russia.
The government of Russia is an ab-
solute monarchy, his word is law and
there is no appeal from his decision.
But in a government of the people, by
the people, and for the people, and
where equal rights are guaranteed to
all and it is claimed that special privi-
leges should be granted t none, such a
thing as a government warehouse for
the storage of farm products -pawned
the government cannot exist, for such
state of things woul d destroy the in
dividual liberty and personal rights OF

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democratic party of Barton
county, in convention assembled, proud
of its history in the past and confident
OF victorious and successful career
in the future, declares as it's basis of
political faith and practice, as follows:
1st-We are in favor of tariff reform
of the kind that will lessen the burdens
of the people and be in the interests of
humanity and economy in the admins
tratiOn of government.
2d-We are in favor Of placing gold
and silver on parity; of the free coin
age of American silver and an increase
of the circulation of good and lawful
money.
3d-We favor the substitution of
greenbackS or treasury notes for the
national bank currency.
4th-Beiieving that the network Of
railways that cover. our land, built
mostly by aid of the government, are
managed and manipulated with an un-
Just discrimination against the agri
cultural classes, we therefore favor
more stringent laws, both state and
national. for the management and con-
troll of all systems of transportation in
order that few men may not rob the
many nor the wealthy fatten off of the
labors of the few.
5th-We favor legislation both state
and national that will suppress and
destroy all monopolies, trusts and
combines that interfere with or attempt
to regulate the prices of common neces-
sarles of life.
6th-We favor the adoption of the
Australian system of voting, believing
that the safety of our land depends
upon a free and untrammeled ballot,
Aninf1uenced by money. secret societies
or personal surroundings.
s7th-Believing that the simplest and
Yeast complicated laws are the best, that
the machinery of government should
not be burdened with the ownership of
industries or enterprises that require
the employment of great numbers OF
people or the investment of large sums
of money in business ventures, we
therefore condemn the government
ownership of railroads and land loaning
scheme of the So called peoples party
Sth-The great cardinal principal of
the democratic party is faith liz self
. government of the people, therefore we
condemn the last state legislature OF
Kansas for refusing to submit to vote
the prohibitory amendment, knowing
when they did so they were setting at
naught all rights of the people to peti
tion or demand a hearing.

WHO THEY ARE.
Short Sketch of the Gentlemen who Expect
Your Votes

Your Votes.
RICHARD F. PLEGER-Came to Kan
sas In 1881. with his father. He first
taught school, in the John Cook district,
afterwards going into the employ of
Brinkman & Gwinn, lumber dealers
as book keeper, and remaining with
them for some six years. He
then bouglrs> the lumber business
from those gentlemen, and has con-
Quoted it for himself since that
time. In 1884 he was placed upon the
democratic ticket for county superin-
tendent of public instruction, coming
within half dozen votes Of being
elected at time when the democrats
were in an almost hopeless minority in
this county. Last year, 1890, he was
again placed upon the democratic-re-
submission ticket for the same office,
this time also against his protest. He
remained upon the ticket, however,
and was second in the race. He had
not sought the office, but permitted his
name to be used for the good of his
party alone. Mr.. Pleger is we'll quail
fled , for the position of county treas
urer, having thorough education in
both German and English, being quick
and accurate with figures and always s
gentlemanly and courteous in demeanor
to all people alike. He has strong
personal following, regardless of politics,
and when you cast a vote for Dick you
vote for sure winner.
II. J. KLEIN-Came to Kansas in
1875, from Illinois, and located on a
farm in Logan township, where he
farmed until the fall of 1879, when he
moved to Ellinwood and embarked in
the implement business. During the
succession of bad years that followed
N1r. Klein sustained losses that broke
him up in business; but he paid every
dollar of Indebtedness, and no one was
the loser but himself. He afterwards
embarked in the livery business at
Ellinwood, selling out about a year
ago, since which time he has been work
ing his farm northeast of Ellinwood
He has always held the esteem and
confidence of all people who know him:
was last year elected trustee of Lakin
township. Mr.. Klein is good scholar
a fine penman, careful and painStaking
in all he does, and will fill the Office Ol
county clerk with credit to himself and
his constituents. A vote for him viii

trious and able man.

needs any introduction to cur people
He knows personally and is known by
almost every voter in the county, anG

Religious fervor and zeal is a thing
to be commended, but when it becomes
unreasonable in its demonstrations we
doubt the attainment of its proper pur-
poses. Considerable annoyance is ex-
perienced by the people who live in the
neighborbood of the colored churches
of the city, from the excessive and con-
tinued noise, especially is it SO of the
3rd, ward. Religion should be charac-
terized by dignity and decorum and
when it manifests itself in the form of
the ghost dance" 1t may. be seriously
questioned whether it is a benefit or
not. There have been times at this
place that have been so long, loud and
annoying that the marshal should have
quieted them and received the COM
meDdation of the neighbors, for many
blocks. 1t is not too late for him to do
so yet.-Register-
