A Vacation i'm New Mexico,

To get the full benefit of mountain
air and sunshine, it will amply reward
all travellers to extend their Colorado
summer trip to that charming resort
known as Las Vegas Hot Springs, six
miles from Las Vegas, on the A. Il. &
S. +. r. II.
Here may be found the very choic-
est of New Mexico air, scenery and
sunshine; and hotel, the Montezu-
ma, that is large, handsome, comfort
able and hOme-like.
The trip to Las Vegas Hot Springs
can be made in connection with the
Colorado tour, at a very small addi-
tional expense by purchasing a round
trip excursion ticket to the Hot
Springs that includes a side ride to
Pueblo, Colorado Springs or Denver.

THE REBOUND.

THE REBOUND.
Emporia Republican.
The calamity howl, or rather its re-
action, is resulting beneficially to
Kansas, though not through any mer-
it of the howlers. For years past the
usual custom Of eastern journals has
been to disparage Kansas. Every
thing damaging to our reputation was
seized upon and paraded before the
public, in order to discourage emigra.
ton of eastern people to our borders.
All the Atlantic and Middle states
have lost more or less in population
on account of the attractiveness of
this state, and they all became jealous
and prejudiced. Bot when Kansas
calamity orators went east and repre-
scented their state as hopelessly in
debt and on the brink of ruin, the
prejudice of these journals melted
away before the injustice and rank
ness of the ISLANDERS, and they chang
ed their tone. During the last two
months nearly every newspaper
in the country has given portion of
its space to exposing the falsehoods of
the howlers and presenting the evil
dences of Kansas wonderful prosper
ity and prospects. These many favor
able notices have constituted grand
advertisement for the state, and we
shall presently begin to feel its effects.
Capital will want to invest i'm a state
of such rich and varied resources, and
settlers cannot be otherwise than at
tracted to a section where one years
crop pays for the farm. Kansas has
the soil, the climate, the society, the
schools and all other inducements;
what she wants now is plenty of adj
vertising, and the rebound of the
calamity howl is giving it to her. Our
people have suffered from the misrep-
resentation, but the time of suffering
is well nigh past. The east has learn
ed that the starvation stories were
peddled only for political effect, and
in learning this their attention has
been called to the state in way that
must do us great good. The Alliance
orators have pointed us our as a COM
munity Of paupers and slaves; the
world has looked and beheld a COM
munity of prosperous, free and happy
neople

Loving People.
As to amusement, you may trust a
Bavarian not to be behind in that The
men meet almost nightly in the differ
their status in the local society, where
they have talk, singing, music, cards,
etc, the large glass mugs of beer at
their side being constantly replenished.
The beer is fortunately light and whole
some, but the amount drunk is a Sc
rious expense, and much more than the
men usually can properly afford Be-
sides these nightly gatherings, there
are different clubs or societies that
meet at certain times at one or other
of the inns for an evenings amuse-
ment some of them under the patron
age of the priest In many Of them the
women join, but the women's chief en-
tertainments are kunkl, or spinning par
ties, at home, and very coy and pict-
uresque these spinning parties are.
The great feature in Bava rian sit
ting room IS the large porcelain stove
that stands out into the room and that
is usually lit from the passage outside.
Round this stove bench runs, making
delightfully."- warm seat, the back being
the porcelain stove. But besides this
stove, in the older houses there is
in the wall hole with chimney,
where particular sort of pine,
that burns brightly without sending out
sparks, is burned at night for the pur-
pose of light only. In olden times,
when such luxuries as lamps were I'M
thought of, it was often the only means
of illumination. Some still use them
constantly; others keep them only for
festive occasions. A man generally

sits beside it to keep it replenished.
The women have their spinning wheels
or knitting, and the men sit in the
darker corners; and there are always
some to sing songs or tell stories or.
keep the fun going in some way.
Imagine an old, dark-paneled room
In her armchair, close to the stove, in
the full light of the blazing pine wood,
sits the handsome old hostess, in her
picturesque costume, busy with her
spinning wheel. A young woman with
awheel is in an opposite corner. Three
daughters knitting and guests sit in a
circle, more or less, the light playing
on the varied faces and time-worn fur
niture as bright freight alone can.

girls sing Tyrolese songs and the COM

THE PLUMB IDEA,

The furry of unreasonable criticism
in regard to Senator Plumb's league
speech has about passed over. A
number of papers endorse his policy,
which is to deal with the Alliance by
argument and persuasion and not by
ridicule and abuse. The average
American will not yield one inch Of
his position to the latter method. The
Globe Democrat on "Plumb and the
Alliance" says:
THE constituents of Senator Plumb
of Kansas, are complaining that he
does not assail the Alliance with suf-
ficient courage and ferocity. His
speeches are of a temperate and per-
suasive kind, whereas, in the opinion
of his critics, he should be using terms
of vigorous and unconditional denun-
citation. He is inclined to think that
the best way to win back those Re
publicans who joined the Alliance last
year is to appeal to their reason and
show them that they have deceived
themselves. 1t is not to be doubted
that the majority of those who wan
dered off in that way were actuated
by honest motives. They supposed
that they were doing what was best
for the correction of alleged evils and
the promotion of sound and wholesome
plans of reform. Their intentions were
good, but they erred in their views of
the situation. The lessons of expei-
fence have served to put things in a
different light and to expose the soph-
istry of certain propositions that SEEM
ed at first to be logical and meritor-
ious. But they cannot be abused in
to confession of their bluuder, Sena-
tor Plumb thinks. They would like
to come back, he believes, but they
will not come by intimidation; they
are tired of the Alliance, but they will
not leave it un der pressure of Republic
can abuse, and with an appearance of
self-reproach.
1t is probable that Senator Plumb is
right as to many members of the AL
lance, and that the practical way to
deal with them is the mild and coax
ing way. The average American cit
izeu dislikes to admit that he has act
ed foolishly even when he can see that
every body knows it. He prefers, as
a matter of pride, to dodge the &C
acknowledgement, and to rectify the mis-
take in quiet aud gracious manner.
1t may be that he is fully convinced
of his error and yet not willing to say
so for reasons entirely satisfactory to
himself. Under such circumstances
the best plan is certainly to avoid cpl
thets and to use pleasant and consfd-
crate language. In that way the vo-
ter can be led to do what he would
scorn to do if approached in dictator
ial or humiliating fashion. Senator
Plumb has had long experience in pol
tiles and ,,is familiar with all the pro-
cesses by which men are influenced.
The Kansas Republicans will do well,
to be governed by his opin-
ion as to the most effective method of
against the Alliance. They
have no reason to question his devo-
ton to the interests of the party. He
is practical statesman, who holds
that success is the thing of first i'm
portance, and that expediency is al
ways a surprising virtue. If he pre-
Ders to pursue kind and conciliatOry |
course, they may be reasonably sure |
that he understands the case and will

| to be the nearest to what MS conscl-
ence and Judgment tells him is right.
There is no man 30 self-sufficient
and confident of his own wisdom but
will acknowledge that he can at some
time err. There is no man--no man,
mind you-who does not reserve to
himself the right to change his politics
or his religion whenever his judgment
tells him he should do so. The man
who has all his life voted either the
Republican or the Democratic ticket
and has lately concluded to vote with
the Alliance, has changed his mind
because he thought he had sufficient
reason for doing SO. He was never re-
quired to take an oath to vote either
ticket. He did so because he thought
he was doing right, and he afterward
changed his mind because he thought
he was doing right.
Is it not possible that he may again
wish to change his mind? Is it not
possible that the changing conditions
of. politics will make one party the
most desirable in another year? The
man who reserves for himself his free
dom of action can choose what he
thinks best; but the man who ties
himself up by an oath has lost his
own freedom--he is slave to his own
folly. OF such are those who become
members of that most foolish of all
foolish political societies called the
Citizens alliance.
An example of its character is told
by the Marion Record as follows:
Quite a number of citizens of this
city who voted at the recent Republic
can primaries were last week served
with the following notice:

Can it be possible that in Kansas,
where the great conflict began for I'M
iversal liberty,-where the old guard
fought winning fight for freedom OF
opinion in politics-where the dicta-
tion of dominee,ing southern politi-
clans was first resented-there can be
found secret oath bound organiza-
ton, whose members are required to
swear away their liberty?
Can it be that an American citizen of
school blessed Kansas can be found
who is so weak in intellect that he
dare not do as he pleases without be-
ing called before the petty inquisition
of some secret conclave to defend him
self against charge of having "viola-
ted his obligation to the order''?
Down with such politics. We want
none of it in Kansas.
Good government can come only
from men who are free!
Bull-dozing organizations like that
have no place in Kansas. Their
counterpart may be found in Georgia
and Mississippi, where their allies
are.
