PLUMB TOMORROW NIGHT

Senator Plumb is announced for a
speech at the opera house in this city to-
morrow night. 1t is unnecessary to ad-
vertiss the fact beyond mere mention,
and probably would be though the opera
house held four thousand instead of only
two thousand people. Senator Plumb
never wastes his hours before an audi
ence in piatitudes of the cheap statesman
or in the posings of the demagogue. He
has a great brain, has had much expe-
rience and his speeches are always noted
for their practical, hard sense and COM
prehensive wisdom. No man ever lis
tened to him talk fifteen minutes and
failed to learn something new and valu
able. While his views are far-reaching,
his logic severe, he never fails of making
himself thoroughly understood by the
humblest. As a rule he employs the
simplest Anglo-Saxon, ignoring adjec-
tives and superlatives of every charac-
ter, leaving his thoughts standing out in
the cleanest cut, homely sentences. The
band may play and the cryer may get
out or they may not, but the opera
house tomorrow night will be full.

George N. Miller, editor of the Star,
the Alliance newspaper organ of the
northwest, from whose Office the now
famous wheat circular, advising farmers
to hold back their grain for an advance
IN prices, was issued, has issued a second
circular following up the suggestions of
the first, with figures and arguments in
support of the proposition that wheat is
about to advance to $3.50 or 81, and
farmers should profit by it. One million
copies of this circular are being mailed.
There is one thing that can sbe said of
the Alliance, abstractly, to their credit,
and that is that believe in the liberal use
of the press for the dissemination of in
formation. If they were as liberal in
their views and opinions on economic
and political questions they would not
only appear less ridiculous in the eyes of
everybody else, but would commend the
movement to the public with some force
and with greater hope of ultimate sue
cess. But that would be like presenting
the play of Hamlet with the title role

The most important event of the year
in turf circles was the annual sale of the
noted Elmendorf stud, near Lexington,
KY, which took place on the 1st inst,
when seventy-one animals brought
$50, ,735. Such figures should be an en-
couragement to the pioneers of the in
dustry in Kansas. The conditions of
grass, water, climate and enthusiasm
that have made Kentucky noted the
world over as the home of the horse
exist here. And not only so, but Kansas
bred horses are already occupying the
front rank of the speediest horses in the
land and there are some that promise to
take the lead-Southern Kansas horses.

The coming winter season has in store
series OF stirring events for the enter
tainment of the reading public. The
session Of the United States supreme
court which begins next Monday will be
one of especial interest by reason of the
half dozen cases before it involving con-
stltutional questions and others of
national importance and concern. Then
the state elections TO occur next month.
the results of which in several cases it is
expected viii give evidence of the politi-
cal drift if they do not definitely portend

Governor Campbell of Ohio is a mighty
slick politician, but the chances are that
his latest little coup, that is, his damage
suit for alleged libel against New York
and Cincinnati paper, will fail him of
the effect hoped for. If there was any
way to ascertain the facts in the case
it would no doubt be developed that the
publication of the article complained of
in the New York paper was procured
by Campbell or some confidential friend
for him for the purpose of recouping his
his diminished stock of political capital.
In this instance there is time enough be-
fore the election to get at and expose all
the facts of the case, and it should be
done,

A Great Gathering.


Rev. j. II. Lockwood left yesterday
morning over the Union Pacific for
Washington, ID. c., as a delegate from
from Kansas to the Methodist ecumeni-
cal conference, which convenes in Wash
ing tomorrow. This Is the second con-
ference of the kind ever held. the first
having convened in London. in 1884
Three hundred American and 200 for
eign delegates will participate. The only
branch Of Methodism which has not sent
delegates is the Evangelical association,
that, according 10 Bishop Bowman. he
cause its general conference met at In
dianapolis, Oct. I, but it will probably
send fraternal greetings and possibly
delegates. Bishop Hurst, the chancellor
of the new Methodist university at
Washington, will be present. and It is al
together probable that the raising Of
$40 900. 900 for this project will form one
of the chief topics OF interest in the con-
ference.

Dear George. how clever you are 10 know

one, George. IL has no apples NJ all on it
What is the reason OF that, dearf'
'Well. really. Mabel. know a good deal
about things in general, but it's little
difficult to say just why that tree has no
apples. presume the farmer has picked

But, George. how could the apples on

ARCADE
w. j. WILSON, President

American papers 1t is the first baby
notice that we have seen telegraphed for
a great many years. The Democrats of
Atchison county. in convention assem-
bled, sent a congratulatory telegram to
the father. and the matter will finally
become SO ridiculous as to injure the
Democratic party, instead of helping it,
as intended. We all laugh when the
accouchment of a royal woman is an-
nounced in the foreign papers; the DEM
ocrats seem TO be as foolish as the royal
lists.

The efforts now making to divert a
portion of the grain shipments for ex-
port and for the eastern markets via New
Orleans and Galveston is not viewed with
complacency by Chicago. Already the
diversion has been of sufficient dimen-
sions to raise q wall. The railroads in
and out of Chicago feel it as much as the
market at that point and of course join
In the effort to prevent the new
routes from becoming fixed and perma-
nent. This is natural enough, but it
emphasizes the importance to the people,
the necessity, of making the new routes
permanent. 1t means a difference in
prices to producers equal to the tariff put
on at Chicago by the speculator and the
roads for rehandling, if no more.

bi-chloride of gold cure. He describes
the formula; ''Given bowling inebri-

that annually destroys the youth of our
land, pump in a half dozen injections of
the bi-chloride, and get a Sunday school

The feat of transmitting an autograph
letter from Chicago to st. Paul was ac-
compllshed Sunday. The Chicago News
printed fac simile of the communica-
ton. 1t was brief, but long enough to
demonstrate the practicability of the dis
coyery or invention. With autographic
telegraphy, long distance telephoning
and the employment of the audiphone,
the world is brought to ones very door
and kept there for succeeding genera
tioions. Wonderful, indeed, are the

Correct. but unkind.

From the Springfield Democrat.

advent of the little one by three column
illustration of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
with lowering central figure OF the
Goddess of Something. DIR. Cleveland
looks tired, Mrs. Cleveland has the ap-
pearance barring the headgear) of a
Hamlet in soliloquy, while the coun-
tenance of the Goddess suggests the
vacuity OF 5 cent doll at 10 cent
counter. The intention of the designer
was unquestionably good. but the execu-
tion was awful. The Times is most at
home, either from an artistic or literary
standpoint, In its perennial four-page
supplement devoted to local trustee

The reported damage to the wheat
crop of South Dakota, a large portion of
which is still in the shock, may be true
as stated in the dispatches, and it may
be only little dodge to bull the market;
but the immediate effect will be in favor
of the producers who still hold the
product. If the Dakota.crop was larger
per cent of the whole crop of the coun-
try the effect of its reported condition
upon the market prices would be more
decided and lasting.

The Way It Works.


From the AtchIson Champion.
A strike of men in New York was
based upon the demand that their female
associates should be paid mems wages
for mems work. That is just in principle.
and the strike. on its face, looks like bit
of chivalry. But it is Insiru tted that its
real purpose was TO secure the discharge
of the women, and that would be its
probable effect if the strikers themselves
could not be spared. for. though a
woman may do mans work and be
entitled to equal pay, yet if the pay is
made equal men are ordinarily preferred,
so that equality of pay really works to
the disadvantage of the women.

THE PARTY OF LINCOLN. GRANT AND
BLAINE
RYAN Ex-MENnER or rHE ArI1ANcr.

One year ago our party
Was eager for the fray,
Believing in false statements
That were made, but to betray,
We broke the ties that bound US
To our heroic comrades slain,
And bid goodbye to the party
Of Lincoln, Grant and Blaine.
Our southern leaders told US
OF all the south would do:
How the Democratic party
Would fade like morning dew,
And the party of the people
From Florida to Maine
Would sweep into oblivion
Cleveland as well as Blaine.
AS enthusiasts we listen'd
And their promises believ'd,
Although on calm reflection
We might know we'd be deceived.
The south is still united,
They may promise as they will,
But at every election
They're Democrats still.
As farmers here IN Kansas,
Who guide or hold the plow,
For the Alliance leaders
We have no use, just now.
To our first love let's return,
The Alliance is on the wane,
And no more Wen leave the party
OF Lincoln, Grant and Blaine.
We formed the Peoples party"
The southern men TO please,
And with a wry face swallOW'd
Their absurd theories.
In the south there's no third party,
Their deception now is plain,
They're still the foes of freedom,
OF Lincoln, Grant and Blaine.
The non-partisan Alliance
We sailed in is no more,
Twas wrecked by our false leaders
A thousand miles from shore.
Now freedom calls upon US,
Her voice sounds DER the main:
''Take refuge in the party
'-0f Lincoln, Grant and Blaine!"
From our wheatfelds on next Friday
To Wichita we'll come
To welcome our great leader
And statesman. P. B. Plumb,
Who willeconomic problems
With lucidity explain,
And make converts to the party
OF Lincoln, Grant and Blaine.
