There was an old preacher who told
some boys OF the bible lesson he was
going to read about in the morning.
The boys finding the places glued the
connecting pages. The next morning
he read on the bottom OF one page /:
when Noah was 120 years old, he
took unto himself a wife. who was"
then turning the page-"140 cubits
long, 40 cubits wide, built OF gopher
wood, and covered with pitch inside
and out" He was naturally puzzled
at this. He read it again, verified 1t
and then said: my friends, this is
the first time I eve met this In the
bible, but / accept it as an evidence Of
the assertion that we are fearfully and
wonderfully made. '-Exchange.

A Rich strike Of silver.

A special dispatch from Denver
says: "a man named Simons made
a wonderful strike in Happy Gulch,
near the Holy Moses property, this
afternoon. He struck wire silver and
native silver in chunks as large as a
half dollar and almost perfectly pure.
The vein from recent indications is
strong and large and will yield mill
ions. The camp is wild with excite
ment, and prospectors are locating,
and every foot OF ground in the vicinity
is being taken up. The rush for
claims is a mad one. The number OF
arrivals increase daily. Everybody
thinks he will be a millionaire in the
Spring, and not a man could be in
duced to sell out tonight at any
figure. The strike made to-day is
counted one OF the richest yer known
in the mining history of the United
States. The treasure vein is $4,000
feet above sea level and is ten feet

by himself, whereby the solution and
pulp are separated by centrifugal force

a CALAMITY PARTY,

The Peoples Party is One of Calamity. But
Better Times Are Making the Farmers
See That They Have Been Deceived.
The peoples party is essentially a
calamity party. 1t was founded on hard
| times, and distress is its cornerstone.
Its platforms are full of woe and its
campaigns are organized lamentatiOn.
Without calamity it would be as help
less as a fly without wings or grass
hopper without legs. Good crops, bust
ness life, prosperity are as destructive
to its prospects as the noxious choke
damp to the miner. The efforts of its
leaders have been directed to making q
temporary depression seem perma-
nent disaster. and the operation of the
laws of nature and commerce the re-
suits of political misrule.
Farmers have been deceived by these
demagogic Misrepresentation. But
they are getting their eyes open. They
have substantial evidence that the dis
tressed condition under which they
have been struggling was not perma-
nent. Times are already brighter, their
burdens are lighter and the future is
full of hope. They realize that in spite
Of occasional hardships the American
farmers are the most independent and
happy people on the earth. Compared
to the agriculturists and working peo-
pie of other countries they are kings
and princes, living in royal luxury.
They are not Jay Goulds or
John Rockefellers, and no kind
of legislation or government can
ever make them such. Under any civil
lied system a few individuals will out
run the masses in the race of life. Not
all men are gifted with the energy, the
enterprise-thc unscrupulousness and
greed. if you please-to become vastly
rich. Nature has not qualified the ma
jority for such successes, and legislation
is incapable OF supplying the defects, if
defects they are, of natural creation.
There is no sort of law that could be
devised which would make us all
Croesuscs, and all hopes of accomplish
ing such results by legislation are de-
lusive and baseless.
AS times grow brighter the outlook
for the peoples party grows darker, and
in corresponding ratio. A good crop
this year, following that of last year,
and a continuance of good prices will
enable the farmers of Kansas to get
themselves into such condition as to
have no further use for calamity bowls
or a calamity party. Two years ago
they We're in state of mind similar to
that of the man who commits suicide
they were respondent and desperate.
As they come out from those unhealth-
ful influences they regain interest in
life, and they naturally drop back into
the grand old party of which they were
so long members and of which they are
still proud in spite of themselves.-Em

PARTY CONDITION.

Wide Difference in the Condition of the
Two Leading Parties From That Which
Existed Two Years Ago.
The condition of the two leading par
ties in Kansas is widely different this
year from what it was two years ago.
Then the peoples party, in the fresh en-
thusiasm of newborn existence and a
manifest rapid growth. had things most
" its own way. All the wavering and
doubtful voters were pulled into the
current of its momentum and helped to
swell the impetuous flood-tide. The re-
publicans, on the other hand, We're in a
state of semi-stupor-daze confused,
lethagic. They knew not what to make
of the new movement. and they COM
mitted the blunder of practically ignor-
ing it and directing their fight against
the old-time enemy, democracy, upon
the old time issue, prohibition. The
result was only what might have reas-
onably been expected.
This year things are at no disadvan-
tage. The new party has learned from
its last years experience that its Won
derful growth has ceased as suddenly as
~ az anu llAsiS N4lt Ipeil
instead of being the corpse the alliance
leaders had represented it, is still
great. popular and formidable organiza-
ton. The discovery is as depressing to
the peoples party as ii is exhilarating
TO republicans: the enthusiasm which
the one enjoyed in 1890 is now trans
ferred to the other.
The Kansas republicans, knowing
who their enemy is this year and what
its strength is, are in No wise confused.
They know what they have to do. how
it is TO be done. and that they are ia
capital shape for the work. There is
just enough uncertainty in the situation
to take all nonsense out OF their heads
and make them solid and harmonious.
But one prominent idea is prevalent
and that is 70 win: all selfish and fac
tional interests will be subordinated to
this one central motive. In short, the
republicans of Kansas are better
equipped and disciplined for effective
campaign work than they have been in
decade. With this condition and spir-
it, aided by the presidential year en-
thusiasm, they will be irresistible
