ODE TO A MODERN SHIP.

Child OF the dismal mine,
Compact of chilly steel,
Flowing the brine!
Thou canst not surely feel
That sense divine
Which. urged by sail and oar,
The good ship felt OF yore,
Constructed deck to keel,
or Pontic pine.
Then every seasoned plank
Tina; sailed the sea
Rose softly. softly sank,
Riding the waves in buoyant majeety.
And fair white sails,
Tall spars with streamers decked.
Bent TO the rising gales,
That with crisp foam the heaying ocean
fecked.
But thee the summer breeze,
The roaring winters blast
That bows the trees,
Move not; thou steamest past
In spite of these.
Not as in days OF old;
Nor in the sultry hold,
With sullen wheeze,
Thy furnace fierce is coaled,
And grimy hands thy pusng pistons grease
e. Ii. Lacon Watson in Temple Bar.

In feeding animals at all times, especially
when fattening them, there is need of a
great deal of good judgment and constant
care. Each animal should, as rule, be
fed as much as he will eat clean, and no
more, and not be fed again till hungry.
If fed more than he will eat clean, the
surplus should be removed until he is
hungry. Water should not be withheld
when fattening. as some feeders cruelty
practice it is a vicious mistake.

Coffee is used for mixing backing for
the stove, in order to make it stick closer
and last longer. Most housekeepers prefer
the old-fashioned backing to any of the
cements, because of its lasting qualities,
The cement is easier to apply, as it req
uires no labor in polishing. No stove
should be BACKED more than once month,
but it should be kept clean BY instantly
wiping off any clots Of grease Which may
be spilled upon it The Aues. of stove
should certainly be cleaned as often as
once month.

A writer for the Western Agricuturist
speaking OF the abuse Of hogs, exclaims.
Give you hogs fair chance. warm quar-
tiers, clean place to eat, middlngs to the
mother and her young, clover field to run
in, plenty Of fresh well water always be-
fore them, and then get good, shapely,
quick maturing hogs and you will change
your tune. Hogs need car and attention.
Who think sofraising good apples without
pruning the trees? Who thinks of raising
horses without barn? All thot the hog
asks is fair trial and he will repay you
fully for it. Try it once and be convinc-
ed.

THAT MCPHERSON MEETING

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
A harvest home picnic was held at
Windsor, In this county, on last Satur-
day, the SOth. The 1000 people present
listened to addresses by L. D. Lewelllng,
A. W. Smith, Chester l. Long and s. II.
Snider. tt was the original intention Of
the managers to make the plcuic non.
political, and the speakers invited were 30
notified, but at the last moment the pro-
ram was changed, and each man wss
requested to speak for his political party.
Lewelling's address was rouudly ap-
plauded, and was highly spoken OF by all
present, regardless of their politics
Smith followed with a forty-mlnute
speech. Longs talk consisted chiefly Of
an attempt TO be funny. Solder warmed
up to his work and poured hot shot into
the enemy In rapid succession. Nearly
every sentence WAS greeted with deafen-
Ing applause.
II was a LewellIng crowd by two to
one, and the day witnessed q big triumph
for the Peoples party.
The entire Peoples state ticket will
carry this county by at least 500 majority.

RILEY.

RILEY, KAN, August 6.-The Peoples
party rally made to-day at Riley,
situated in central Riley county, was in
every way q decided success, and re-
minded one Of the enthusiastic campaign
of 1890. By noon time about 1000 per-
sons were on hand to participate in the
ratification of the Omaha and Wichita
platforms. Bands, glee clubs, numerous
American flags and many banners with
very appropriate notices decorated the
speakers stand. Promptly at 1 o'clock
Joe Harner called the throng from the
noon spread and formally opened the
speech making by introducing Fl. A.
Hart, OF Dickinson county, who was fol-
lowed by Messrs. w. A. Harris, Lsaven-
worth, G. w. Stewart, Cloud, A. E. True,
Wabaunsee and Mrs. Annie L. Dlggs, of
Washington, D. @. The Peoples party
press was out in strong force and q fair
sprinkllng of old Republicans were there
learning how best to "Stand up for Kan

FALSE INTERVIEWS.
Of THE ADVOCATE.

To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE.
In recent issue of the Kansas City
Journal there appeared an article giving
an account of an alleged discussion or
controversy between Rock Island con-
ductor and myself, which is true in ev-
cry particular except that had not been
on the Rock Island road or over 1t for a
month; never talked with q Rock Island
conductor on the subject named, and
further, that the entire story is fabri-
cation of diseased brain.
A recent issue of the Topeka Capital
contains another article, every word Of
which Is equally false.
These articles are going the rounds Of
the Republican press, and / call your at
tentlon TO them for the purpose Of show
ing our friends the class Of mlSrepreSen-
tation they will have to contend with,

FROM TENNESSEE,

Az buo AAlA1Ok Vi AhE AONOOAEAs
Talk of revolution In public sentiment;
speak of the people revolving against
their partys behest; TO find this you
have only to come to the great state Of
Tennessee.
It has been two weeks since l came TO
this state, and from all indications the
movement has never had lts counterpart,
except In Kansas in 1890.
I Iattended six mass meetings last week,
three Of which were barbecues. l was
informed that they slaughtered twenty
eight head Of stock at one Of these meet
lngs. The bill Of fare was beef, pork and
mutton, together with other eatables too
numerous to mention-enough to feed
the gathering thousands. Some came as
far as sixty miles to these meetings.
1t was not uncommon to have men step
up to the speaker at the close Of the
meeting and assert their intention Of
joining the Peoples party.
AT one Of our largest meetings the re-
quest was made for those who were in
sympathy with our demands and the
Peoples party to raise their hands. II
seemed as though nine tenths Of the
hands were raised. After which, the
same request was made Of those opposed.
In all that vast audience there was only
one who had the courage Of his convlc-
tlonV, even in Tennessee. There were
several who held neutral ground, and one
old gentleman said: "Oh, yes, they will
be all right; they are simply on the
fence"
Men who have voted the Democratic
ticket for from twenty.A five TO sixty years
are in the front ranks. The politicians
seem to be on one side and the people on
the other. They (the pollticlanS) cry
"Force BILL" and the farmer turns his
head and complacently remarks: ayes,
sir; we will force you out, and put men
in who will make laws for the people.
Talk sboutfo force bill; we understand you
fellows. That force bill was defeated by
our brethren Of the northwest. The
Ocsla meeting denounced the measure,
and the Kansas delegates wired the reso-
lutions to their representatives. at Wash
ington, and John ]. Ingalls, cast his vote

Do you think we are ignorant enough to
think this bill could pass with 14S
Democratic majority In the lower housel
Oh, no! The object ls to scare us back
into the old party again. No, sir; nevsrl
We will take principle, and you can take
the empty shell-the name. You told
the people In twenty eight states In 1890
that you were In favor OF the dollar Of
our fathers--the dollar Of Jefferson,
Jackson and Calhoun. There was only
one of two Alternates for US; repudiate
JeherSOnian Democracy that favored free
coinage, or repudiate that modern Btates-
man, Grover Cleveland. We have always
been Jefferson Democrats; therefore we
have decided TO remain the same, and re-
pudiate modern Democracy, that Is
guided In lts councils by Lombard street,
London, and Wall street, New York"
] have heard the above argument in
every meeting. They sometimes close
their remarks by saying: "Think will
vote for q party that joins hands with
Tom Reed and John Sherman to defeat
the peoples wlllS No, cir; never" By
this time the politician appears to be In
distress. He moves of slowly, a. IL 10

'hSyseedS,' anyway"
One word In reference TO free speech
In Tennessee. will confess that I had
heard 90 much about che danger Of cam
palgning In the south that l felt q sense
Of timldlty In my first meeting, especially
at the commencement Of my remarks.
But I soon found that those who were
the mOst opposed to the Peoples party
were honest, conscientious gentlemen In
most cases, and were not only willing TO
have these questions discussed, but weEe
eager to have more light upon the sub
ieCt, aud are glad to welcome any man
to their fair state who is himself laboriDg
for the cause Of reform. Yes, they will
make you feel at home.
I have found several men who were
chased by the Kansas ayhawkers during
the war. One gentleman came several
miles to get to shake hands with one of
them. He said the JSyhawkers used him
rather roughly. He lntlmated that be
marched through Tennessee with them.
l suggested that he was in front. "Yes,"
he said, laughing, ION a gallop." And
he had now decided to march side by
side for industrial freedom. The spirit
OF independence has complete control OF
the honest yeomAnry Of this state.
In closing, allow me TO venture pre-
dictlon, that while be believe Kansas will
look we'll to her laurels, yet when No
vember comes Tennessee will be close
second, swinging into line with the Peo-
ple'S party with as many congressman as
Kansas, q United States senator, and the
electoral vote for Weaver and Field. The
above predictions may fail, but the lndi-
cations are that they will not.

ABILENE.

ABILENE, KAN, August 6.-The PeO-
ple's party had a grand rally in the park
near this city thls afternoon, attended by
about 5000 people, many Of whom drove
In procession to the grounds carrying
myrlads Of banners. Speeches we're
made by L. D. Lewelllng and Morris L.
Wheat. This evening Chas. L. Moody
addressed a meeting In the opera house,
but the weather was so extremely hot
that the house was not filed. For the
same reason hundreds stayed away from
the park meeting. The mercury reached
the 100 mark late in the afternoon. Peo-
ple's party workers are well pleased with
the meetings.

GRAND AND GLORIOUS.

Special Correspondence
WASHINGTON, KAN.,. August 5.-The
third annual Peoples party rally OF
Washington county was held here yes
terday and to-day, and IL looked some
times as IL this county had emptied all Of
its population into Dsrby'S grove, near
this pretty town of Washington. A care
full calculation, however, will not bear
out this view, for it must be remembered
that large delegations came from Mar
shall and Republic counties, while the
highest calculation put the aggregate
number on the grounds at $4,000; others
estimated 1t at less.
Il was q magnificent gathering. As
one of the speakers remarked, there was
no use counting, but it was safe to say
that there were ten acres Of people.
But the most remarkable feature
about this meeting was the earnestness
and determination of the people. Most
of them came for miles through the heat
and dust, not simply to have picnic,
for there had been no special arrange
ments made for that; not for the drive,
for that must have been harder work
than threshing wheat; but they were
there to confer with and enllghten each
other on that subject which concerns
everybody, politics.
On the first day q long procession
marched from town TO the grove, each
Alliance and Peoples party club carry
ing an appropriate banner, something
that reminded the old people Of another
time when new party was formed for
the purpose of rightlng great wrongs.
Among these banners were some comical
ones. One was picture representing
Carnegie in a pulpit and was labeled
"Desecration of the Pulpit and Politics" "
Another was Seyd riding lion and car
rying sack labeled "S5OO,OO0," and the
inscription explained that the rider was
on his way to buy the American con-
gresg. On the reverse side Of this was
Carnegie and Harrison at opposite ends
of a barrel supposed to contain Scotch
whisky, helping themselves. But all
interest In these comlcalitles was lost
when the procession ended. Nearly every
body, men, women and children, wore
the same kind of a badge bearing the
portraits Of Weaver and Field, and "One
Country and one Flag" also the motto,
"Equal rights to all, special privileges to
none" That was the popular badge,
and there were thousands of them worn.
The meeting was opened with music
by a good band and prayer by Rev. Hsg-
eman. Then speeches were made by
Mrs. Annie L. DlggS, s. 81. Allen and
John F. Little. After the evening recess,
V. Fl. Biddlson and Frel ]. Close held
the audience until bed time, and they
seemed willing to stay all night. Fri
day morning General Paul Vandervoort
and Mrs. Dlggs again. Afternoon, L. D.
Lewelling, W. A. Harris, R. s. Osborn
and Morris L. Wheat, of Iowa. Still the
people stayed and called for more. They
did not seem to tire of a single speaker.
The more gospel they heard the more
they were willing TO hear. During all
the exercises cheer after cheer rang
through the woods. Up until 4 o'clock
the weather grew hotter, the clouds Of
dust came thicker and the enthusiasm |
grew apace. And still the people stayed.
Some of the speakers had left at noon to |
fill other appointments. Finally Mrs.

of the African Ne hodist Episcopal church
were open, and there was not moment
during the day that somebody was not in
the building. 1t was the day set apart for
fasting and praying for the amelioration
Of the condition OF the colored people in
the south. Some very loud and earnest
invocatious were sent heaveuward and
many were the special pleas made for
justice to the colored men, women and
children of the south.
In the evening the affair assumed q
semi-poiitical appearance and the time
was devoted principally to speech making.
