THE Old MISSION AGAIN.

Design No. is in its main features very
similar to the plans which have been ac-
cepted for the Government building at Chi
cago. The ground plan is rectangular i'll
form, with dimensions 2U0 by 337 feet.
Three large entrances open into broad tiled
passage-ways that lead into a huge central
rOtunda, surmounted by dome. The inte-
Ti0r is divided into booths Tor the arrange
ment of exhibits. The entire structure is
to be of wood, and on either side Of the
main entrance will stand statue represent

Something Going TO ''Drap."

The Independent victory in Ne
braska is largely due to the efforts
Of the Independent press and the
little school, house meetings which
were held on every hill and in every
valley. Stand by your papers; con-
tinue your school-house meetings,
and keep the watch-fires burning all
along the line, from the Hudson to
the standardization Dakota on the
north to southern Mississippi. AL
ready the old parties have begun to
renew the old issues of 1884. They
are actually fitting up those two old
jades-Blaine and Cleveland trot
another heat Oh the same old Wall
street track. The corporations are
to be served; the demands of the
people ignored as in the past. The
only show for the American farmer
lies in independent action. Keep
politics at a white heat; recognize
the lukewarm, and provide your
selves with garden-rakes, if need be,
to scratch scales of dry rot from the
eyes of the prejudiced, for there's
political cyclone brewing. Some

one thing has always prevailed, and
that is right; and through that
right we trust that before or by the
time this reaches our readers, the
ncfarious schemes Of those political
guerrilla henchmen will be defeated
in way and manner that will go
down in history as credit to the
commonwealth of Kansas, and that
we will be able to announce, in eur

Gov. HUMPHREY, IN his message,
encourages the old "age-ofconsent"
outfit to try it again. We thought
that the way the people sat down on
that scheme, it would be settled {;
but it seems that the lecherous old
sinners are determined to cut down
the age of consent, thus getting
out Of scrapes they may have gotten
into, or may get into, with girls un-
der certain age. Should the SEN
ate pass such bill, the house should
set down on it.

A Great Work.
From the Carolina Banner, TarbOrO,
". c., Jan. l.. 1891,

Il
". c., Jan. l.. 1891,
The completion of the Union Pa
cific Railroad marked a new era in
our history, connecting as it did our
Atlantic and Pacific states by link
that defied distance and opened up for
settlement country unsurpassed in
agricultural and mineral wealth. The
completion of the Brooklyn Bridge
was an event of national Importance,
uniting in closer bonds our great twin
cities, and demonstrating the great
success of American engineering. But
greater than all these will be the tun-
mel of the Atlantic-Pacilic Railway
thu O Ugh the Rocky Mountains in COL
Orado, where a tunnel $4,000 feet in
length will shorten the distance be-
tween Denver and Salt Lake City,
about $50 miles. Over 1000 feet Of
the tunnel has already been cut, and
the rich finds of ore promise immenGe
wealth to the shareholders.
The sales of these ores are already
paying the interest on the bonds of the
the company. Without any mineral
wealth the shareholders must reap
a big harvest after the tunnel is COM
pleted. A few dollars invested i'm its
shares may, at 40 far distant day, rise
in value as if by magic, and the hold
er find himself in possession of great
unexpected wealth. That it must pay
when completed cannot be denied.
That it will be completed is assured,
but the sale of few remaining shares
would in great degree accelerate the
work. If you have few spare dollars
buy few shares, LAY them wand you
will find them far better than any saw
ings bank, and your children may rise
up and call you blessed"

Our readers remember how the
Republican press eulogized upon the
prosperity that specie resumption on
Jan. l, 1879, would bring to this
country. We've got it. This is
the prosperity their masters wanted.
But it is costing the toilers of our
country their freedom, their honor
and their sacred homes. And yet,
some are patronizing the same pa
pers controlled by the same money
dragon. 1t looks inconsistent /;
nevertheless, it is true.

the affirmative. "Then you may
offer prayer" said the sinner,
"but let it be short and fervent."
The praying part of the foregoing
story does not illustrate the present
wishes of the old outfit. It's sim
ply the preachers fervent vote they
are after, for according to the dec
laration of their great magog, the
moral decalogue and golden rule
have no place in their politics, and
praying, you see, would be out Of

Never, since the days of Christie
pher Columbus, have any people
read and heard so much wisdom on
financial questions as the people OF
Kansas are now getting from the
old ring-boss party organs and the
lips of it's photographers. All of
said wisdom has doomed up since
the 4th day of November, 1880. In
deed it seems almost marvellous that,
in so short time, they can actually
tell the laboring masses that Wall
street has dominated the finances of
the country long enough, and that
for years the gold-bugs have prac-
tically fixed the volume of currency,
consequently, capital is now con-
trolling and expressing the laboring
masses. Now the fellows who are
divulging this vast amount Of wis
dom know whereof they speak, for
since the past twenty-five years, up
to the 4th day of last November,
they have been toadying, as medi-
ums through which Wall street, and
every other street of corruption,
have been. keeping the laboring
masses under a burden, and within
their merciless grasp. These wis
dom fellows are the same set that,
up to the 4th of last November,
abused and villifed every man,
woman, boy and girl, who had the
manhood, the womanhood, moral
courage, backbone and nerve to
come out from among them and take
a stand on the stump, in the pulpit
and at the ballot-box on the side of
God, humanity, right and justice
between man and man. Yes, they
even kept up this TRADE of slang and
abuse until every sovereign's ballot
was deposited in the ballot-box, on
the 4th day of November, 1890.
The result of that election proved
to be disastrous to the old outfit,
hence they have been politically
a-bsd, sick, from that day to this, be-
cause they were tried on that men,
orable day, found guilty, and
condemned by the votes of true and
loyal American sovereigns. And
now, in order to procure a stay of
life as a party, they are forced to
pretend that they are going to per-
form some heroic act. Their past
record, and their present condition
and much wisdom, reminds us of
the story of the man who was over
taken by a severe attack of the bill
ious cholic. The preacher was call
ed in, post-haste. "Do you think, "
said the suffering sinner to the
preacher, THAT prayer will save

The above was taken from the

to show up little more of the his
tory Of the demagogue that has
been misrepresenting the people of
the west in the United States senate
for the past eighteen years, and
now poses as the chief cornerstone
of the so-called Republican party in
Kansas. He's the same demagogue
that has declared that cit is right in
politics, as well as in war, to hire
Hessians, to purchase mercenaries,
to mutilate, to kill, to destroy"
And now, according to reports, or
ders have been issued from the
headquarters of his henchmen, in
the shape of printed cards, to men,
bers of the G. A. R., to report at
henchmen's headquarters in Topeka,
not later than Jan. "a. Now, then,
why is it that the members Of a
non-political organization are called
to Topeka? Is it for the purpose of
protecting the Peoples party men,
bers in carrying out the will of their
constituents as it was expressed at
the ballot-box on the 18th day of No

it is far from it. The object is sim

and suppress the wishes of large
majority of the sovereigns of Kan
sas, by concocting some scheme
through which they hope to win.

"OUEEN OF THE DAIRY"
Pauline Paul, 2,199, III. III. B.-Her
Record for One Year.

She is an object of interest to all inter-
ested in Holstein- Friesians, and is today
the unapproachable queen of the dairy,
although her record was completed Feb
ruary last, and the greatest Jersey COW
of the day. from whose record SO much
was expected, has failed to equal Pauline
Paul's record by large amount. Upon a
grain ration of three parts bran, two parts
ground oats, one part cornmeai by meas
ure, and portion of the time three
pounds of cottonseed meal, in all not to
exceed thirty pounds per day of grain,
without Stop of any sort, she produced
during the year 1869 pounds ounces of
milk. from which was churned 1,153
pounds 15A ounces of pure butter, thor
oughly worked and sailed one ounce to
the pound, and prepared tit for the market
before weighing.
The last days churning weighed 1 ID
81 ozs, and the first weeks record was 81
lbs 134 ozs. AT the end of thirty days,
Pauline Paul had yielded 12s lbs 1917 ozs
of butter, averaging 14.6 lbs of milk TO one
of butter. The public was cordially in
vited to be present during the test, and
many responded and saw for themselves
this great and interesting event. At the
end of five months the test had proceeded
without any unfavorable conditions devel-
oping, the splendid vigor of the cow carry
ing her along without a moments illness.
At nine months she had 963 lbs 15% ozs to
her credit, surprising any butter record
ever made by a cow of any breed in a
years test, even being Is lbs So ozs greater
than the greatest Jersey test of the times.

September Bathing at Coney Island.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-The remarkable
number of warm days during September
nowhere produced a more curious result
than in the prolonged activities at Coney
Island. Coney Island has been consider
ing itself ill-treated by the weather. July
and August were entirely too cool for
trade. Very warm days were the excep-
ton, and everybody at Coney Island who
is interested in crowds-and who is not
down there ?-became positively morose
by the time September 1 arrived. But
September, instead of few spasmodic hot
days early in the month which New York
ers learn to look for, has kept up a pecu-
harly summer temperature. None of the
weather experts, public or private, has
any record of such September. 1t is be-
yond all orthodox precedent. Up to with
in few days of the end of the month the
sultryness continued. These conditions
greatly DISCONTINUED people who had
hurried home from the mountains, but
they have delighted Coney Island The
Coney Island people, who were. as you
might say, standing with the closing shut
ters in their hands, paused in astonish-
ment, put away the shutters, brushed up
things again, and have actually been
doing so much more business during Sep
pect that they are quite Modified in their
retrospective glance at the actual summer
season. Crowds have continued TO beslege
the New York boats. Ice cream has been
tasting seasonable even on the breezy pier.
The outdoor concerts have retained a
picturesque popularity. People who are

ing on with Willingness that is charming

freaks who expected 10 be chased back TO
New York on the Goth, have been grinning
IN freaklsh delight at the UNEXPECTED
prolongation of their seashore tenure.
The merry go-rounds have been hummine
a cheerful tune and the man who has been
shouting In a steam whistle falsetto for
the elevated railway has risen at least
three tones on his upper register under
the influence of the unexpected rush.
Down on the sand il has been delightfully."-

TO get inhospitably chilly. The hathers
are taking their last dip. They are taking

vent OF the unexpected. The amount of
September bathing has everyw here broken
the record. People who fish a good deal
in September, and who generally expect
10 do some of il in an overcoat, have been

One Great Attraction of the Stage.

Tiara motifs IN North American Review.
The question next oftenest asked is:
what attraction has the stage for its fol-
lowers, that they are SO devoted to it P"
Yes, We are devoted to it. We respect its
antiquity; we admire the position it has
gained in the world of art; we are grateful
to 1t for our daily bread One of its at
fractions is that it may prove a
short cut to popularity. Then,
people of other callings transact their
business amid more or less dull
surroundings and turn to their homes for
that which the actor finds at the
theater alone, namely, light, warmth.
music, sociability. For nv part do not
believe in mute, inglorious Milton" I
think that all power demands expression,
and the employment of power is a delight.
The actor who succeeds ieels he pleases
his public, and therein finds his own
pleasure. When triumph comes to him.
II is in so delightful guise he cannot helm
being moved by it. When an author
places his book before the public, he must
wait; he learns gradually of his success.
Not so the actor. His work receives in
slant recognition in swift, soul-satisfying
applause; and what a delicious dranght
1t IS! 1t produces a sort of divine in
toxlcation, that, having once ex-
perienced, one longs to repeat. IL
is curious how q performer and an
audience act aud react upon one another.
Sometimes an actor begins his work in the
highest spirits, and the coldness. the I'M
responsiveness of the audience completely
crush him. He feels thrown back upon
himself. and for the rest of the play how
ever painstaking he may be. he will lack
naturalness and spirit. Again, an actor
goes to his task in sickness, trouble or sor-
row, or quite unit for his work, but his
audience gives him warm greeting: his
neart responds instantly; his spirits rise.
ne decides he must do his best to please
these generous people; so in trying to
divert them he diverts himself. and all
goes well.
