THE HOT WINDS SCARE.

Outsiders, and by this expression we
desire to have it understood that we in
clude the Kansas City, Mo-, papers out
siders have very much to say every
year about ''Kansas hot winds" Any
interior country, whatever its altitude
during drouth and with the thermom-
eter ranging above 80 degrees will have
hot winds if it has any winds. The
reason that the states east of the Mississ.

they have no winds, at such times of

''hot winds" are but puffs Of local radi-
alton which radiated heat would ascend

energetic breeze which drives and watts

surface. The shot winds So
called are impossible except in
drouthy and heated interior, treeless
areas, and may wilt and PROSTATE vege-

s DEMOCRATIC SUGGESTION.

Not all the Democrats in Kansas have
lost their heads and been carried off their
feet by the fusion craze that has pos
seSsed so many, the hope being to defeat
the Republican party and, mayhap,
thereby secure an Office here and there
Among the level-headed, thinking ele-
ment, who look beyond the immediate
present, and are willing to see things as
they are, is the editor Of the Chetopa
Democrat. We commend the following
brief expression found in the Democrat
OF last Saturday touching this question
of fusion, to those of his party who have
been led off by this ignss fatuus or pos
sible defeat TO the Republican
party through the political combine,
as showing how the thing might
work. not that there is any probability
of any such thing occurring as fusion
between the Republican party and the
Populists-there is noue-but simply TO
show what such expedients as this fusion
craze invite from tine dominant party
were it placed in position that called
for similar action III order to main ain
its supremacy. The Republican party
is relying, as it always has, upon the in
telligence and integrity of the people
and upon Its record in upholding and
defending their Interests, 10 be contin-
ued in control of the government, But
here Is what the Democrat saws:
''Shouid the Republicans adopt the
same policy pursued by the Kansas
Democracy, Weaver stands pretty
good show of becoming president.
With the Democrats che CRY Is: Any
thing 10 beat the Republicans" If the
Republicans should start out with the
policy: Anything TO beat the Dem
ocrats," they can elect Weaver. Sup
pose that after the election the Republi-
cans fad that thev have not enough
electoral votes TO eiecI Harrison. and in
order 10 defeat Cleveland that a suf-
tcient number of Republican states east
their elcctorial votes for Weaver 10 elect
him. What then would the Democrats
think who would have abaaded their
party; Weaver once president, with
the democratic party broken, it would
require twenty years for tie party 10

COLONEL HALLoWELL WRITES.

To the Editor Of the Capital
Responding to yours: The sky bright
ems, and, as the disappointment over the
defeat of Colonel Murdoch wears off,
one is enabled to estimate the feeling for
the Republican ticket. The feeling is
good. Governor Smith has come and
gone. All were pleased with the stall
wart. The ticket is well received here.
An attempt was made to get up a
Especial boom" for Lewelling by some
of his friends. but it failed.
The Republican ticket will win, and
one can hear remarks of "lt'S wearing
ticket" 1.-The more you study it the
more you like it," ''It is a winner, and,
you bet, it will be elected Little at
tention will be given individuals on the
ticket, because it is a question of prlnci-
pies. If we are to retrograde, the pOpu-
lists will succeed. If we are to protect
the fruits of successful efforts ard con-
tinue to advance, the Republicans will
elect.
Satisfied that the well informed, think
ing men are IN the majority III this
county, l firmly believe we will carry
Sedgwick for the entire republican
ticket, no matter what the combination
may be on the county ticket.
Stand up for Kansas" originated in
Colonel Murdocks camp, and We shall
certainly respond. Ever yours,
j. r. HALLowELL.

Knights Of Reciprocity writes us from

'.Stand up for Kansas" in a circular

SIMPSON INUNDATED.

According to the Washington CORE
spondent of the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. Jerry Simpson was grossly humili-
ated at the house at its closing session
Friday evening by Judge Sayres of
Texas. The correspondent SAYS:
1.-The house conference committee re-
port on the sundry civil appropriation
bill. agreed to by the senate amendment.
striking out the radical provision pro-
hibitlng the management of the Grand
Army encampment from purchas-
ing supplies from corporations
employing Pinkerton detectives was sub
mittea. Simpson has not been heard
from lately and this gave him the de-
sired opportunity. He denounced the
concession of the house as a cowardly
surrender to thieving corporations like
that of Carnegie, etc. Speaker Crisp
raped sharply on his desk, and ordered
the blatant populist to suspend and take
his seat Simpson meekly collapsed in
his place. The speaker then instructed
the official reporter to strike out the
ords used in referring to Carnegie.
At this iuncture Judge Savers of
Texas quietly arose in his seat and asked
to be recognized. He said he was one
of the conferees on the part of the
house who had reported in favor of the
senate amendment. The kansan had
charged that committee with a cowardly
surrender. Ii the gentleman who made
this remark would step into one of the
corridors with him he would convince
him that he was not coward. Any
man who charged the committee with
acting with other than sincere and
honest motives was wiliful and malic-
ious liar. He then declared that any
man who would remain IN mis- seat after
two such insults was coward.
The Texas member spoke in cool and
deliberate manner and looked straight at
Simpson. There was pause of suspense,
during which pin could have been
heard falling on the floor. But the
Kansas man sat motionless in his seat
and allowed the insult 10 pass over him
without stirring hand to resent it.

Charlie Scott of the lola Register, who
has been nominated for state senator by
the Republicans, explains in half col
umn editorial that pensions are not paid
from.the taxes collected by the county
treasurer. He claims that some orator
has charged it against the Republican
party. He allows, however, that the
party would adopt that course if neces-
sary to reward the old soldiers. This
explains the position of the Republican
party on the pension question: it simply
means that the party means what it says
and will see to it that the means are
provided for fulfilling the couutry's obi
cation to its benefaciors.

KANSAS ALL RIGHT.
From the Illinois State Journal.

Mr.. Rodolph Hatfield of Wichita,
Kan, was in the city yesterday, on his
way to visit his old home at Lincoln. He
is an lector-at-large on the Republican
ticket, and says the outlook for victory
this fall is all that the most sanguine
could hope for. Conservative men be-
lieve that Kansas will go Republican by
$4,000 at least. In bis own section OF
the state scores of Democrats have repu-
dated fusion with the Peoples party
and declared for the Republican ticket.
They will not vote for either set of cleo
tors.
Mr.. Hatfield says the Kansas wheat
crop will thresh out 70,000,0 COO bushels,
and when he left home the outlook was
that the biggest corn crop ever produced
in the state would be garnered this year.
Mr.. Hatfield lives in Jerry Simpsons
district, which is composed of thirty
seven counties He says that while
Jerry got over 1000 majority IN 1890, lie
will be lucky if he Is not defeated By
more than that number of votes this fall.
Mr.. Hatfield is brother-in-law of Cap
tain z. w. Harris of this city.

Among the many other good reasons
which Frank McGrath suggests for leav-
ing the Weaverite party is that the or
ganization is now run by lawyers with
out clients, doctors without patients,
preachers without pulpits, women with
out husbands, farmers without farms,
financiers without finance, educators
without education and statesmen with
out Jobs" No one can blame a man for
quitting such company as soon as he dis
covers its makeup.

Organized Labor's Blunder.

From the Chet0pa Democrat.
Tie one plain truth that every labor
organization of the country should now
look squarely in the face, is the fact that,
while very many have made formal de-
liverances iustifying or excusing the
lawless rioters at Homestead, not one
has declared the right of every working
man to accept employment at will and
pursue it in peace.
This fundamental right that can be
claimed by the humblest under our laws
as inalienable has yet to be publicly

The lunch is one of the most enjoya-

when served, il may tempt both the eye
and the appetite.
Meats for sandwiches should be
boiled the day before; then after re-
movingbone, skin and gristle they should
be put in packing tins, heavily weight
ed, and set in a cool place over night.
Cut in very thin slices.
Bread one day old is best, and a very
sharp knife is needed for cutting it into
thin slices not over three inches square.

Lemon, orange, strawberry, raspber-

then sweetened, and when well dis
solved, bottled. Drinks can then lie
prepared by adding two tablespoonfuls
of the liquid to turn bier of ice water.
All these juices combined make deIic-
ious drink.
Strong coffee or tea may also be pre-
pared and served in the same way.
Bright tin mugs are more convenient
than tum blers, and there is no danger
of the breakagc.
Hampers, with several trays, are more
desirable for packing. Ordinary luno n
baskets are difficulty. White confec-
toners paper should be used for lining
the basket and separating the different
kinds of food; also, for covering neatly
