Aluminium is coming into use for a
greater number Of purposes each year.
II is used largely TO replace German
silver and high grade brass for cast
ings, being SO much lighter than other
metals. Pure aluminium is used for u
great many instruments and devices
in popular use; for instance, soldiers
canlcens, sword scahbards, harness
trimmings, surgical instruments. and
wire for telegraph purposes. The
change in the price and cost OF man
uracturing aluminium has also been
remarkable. When first brought into
use, thirty years ago, the price was $50
per pound. Methods Of mannfaciur-
ing it have improved, until now 1t is
made al 80 cents pound.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
BAXTER SPRINGS, Sept, 90, 1872.

EDITOR News: Twas present at the
city hall on Saturday evening last 10
hear what Osborn had 10 say in the
interest of the peoples party move
ment and desire the use ola portion OF
your space TO reply or mako plain a
few OF the erroneous statements of
that gentleman. He said that during
the last twenty-five years everything
that capital had asked for had been
granted, but that everything that
labor had asked had been refused.
Let us look into the truth Of this.
Years ago days labor was from sun
rise 10 sunset. Labor asked that ten
hours be days work and the law
was so made, and eight hours consti-
tutes d days work with all employees
of the government. Labor asked for
a homestead and il was granted.
Labor asked for the timber culture
act and it was granted. Labor asked
for an exemption of l60 acres of land,
Il team, wagon and harness, aud imple-
ments, and il was granted. Labor
asked for more government lands for
settlement, and that was granted at a
cost to the government Of many mil
lions of dollars.
He then went OH TO abuse the gov
eminent for people mortgaging their
property. The government never
mortgaged any mans farm or prop
erty. The people make the mortgages
themselves. and have spent their own
money, and yet this gentleman is here
TO abuse the government for their
own missdeeds. l challenged Mr..
Osborn or any member OF his party
To joint discussion Of this question at
any time or place, but he refused. His
speech was gross misrepresentation
of facts, so far as the above question
Is concerned. L. A. GIBBONS.

In ten years the value Of Kansas
farms and of farm and manufacturing
products has increased by 300 million
dollars more than the total mortgage
debt of the state. The debt is consid-
erably less than half the growth in the
security. Strange that the calamity
song can find any singers in such u
state as Kansas.

A GnEAr snIpr1NG POINT.

Few people realize the Importance
Of Baxter Springs as shipping point.
Within the last two weeks three full
train loads of cattle, 48 cars, have
been shipped from here to Chicago by
Josiah Baker, the last shipment being
made last Sunday. On Monday OF
last week Joseph Binns shipped four
car loads and on Thursday Of last
week S. Knight shipped one car load,
making total of SO car loads OF cattle
shipped from here in fortnight. And
ii has only just begun. Cattle are
now being rounded up on the ranges
for shipment after having grazed on
the luxuriant grasses of this section
the past summer. Many large ship.
ments will be made yet this fall. The
cattle are, as a rule, looking well.
But cattle is no, all that we ship by
any means. We have here the finest
of prairie grasses in abundance. From
Is 10 % car loads of hay have been
shipped from here every day this sum
mer; and we have lots Of hay stored
away for the winter market which will
be shipped later, when the price is
higher.
And not only do we ship hay in
great quantities and cattle in great
numbers, but we ship corn and wheat
as well. The wheat crop in this Sec
ton was big and corn will make
large yield. Thousands upon thou
sands of bushels of wheat and corn
will he shipped from Eere this fall and
winter.
What do we need in order TO handle
the freight business of Baxter Springs
to better advantage and at the same
time to secure lower freight rates!
There is only one answer to this-one
or two more railroads. While there is
every indication that we will in the
near future get these. still we should
not he idle. We should he up and
doing and give every company which
contcmplates coming our way ali The
possible. Railroads
are not of necessity compelled 20 come
here. They can gel along without us,
hut can we get along without them!
We think not. We really need an out
let to the South where our hay, corn
and wheat will command much
better price than in the North. There
is railroad building this way which,
ii is supposed, has the Gulf Of Mexico
in view as the southern terminus. But
suppose it has. There are towns To
the east of us after this road and unless
we "Eusile" they may get it, Are we
going TO hustle? The Kansas City,
and Fort Smith railroad isl
the one we refer to. l; will have cars
running into Pittsburg before long.
joplin wants this road to build there
and connect with the Splitlog at that
place which now runs in a southerly
direction toward Fort Smith. We
need this road worse than JA0lin does
and we must have it. Wcmust throw
aside all petty spi;cs and work to get
the road. aud who will say that sue
cess Iuay not crown our efforts?

Tn. True Remed1 for Drunkenness.

A philosophical contemporary con-
tends that the true remedy for drunken
ness lies not in the law, but In the Cos.
pei. The drink-habit is tho product Of
two sins Greed stands on one side OF
the cou nter and appetite on the other.
Law attempts to erect a barrier between
the two. The gospel attempts to take
greed ont of one soul and appetite out
Of the other. II is a 81 ow process, but 0
sure one. The longest way round Ii
the nearest way home.
There are two ways of curing sim
one by restriction from without, the
other by inspiration from within. The
one way forbids the boy to run In the
streets at night, the other makes tn,
home SO attractive TO him that he doei
not wish the companionship Of tn,
street. The one way hedges Sunday
round with the prohibitionists, tn,
other makes IL the most joyous day o.
the week. Law says thou shalt mo-
steal; the Gospel inspires love for ones
neighbor. The religion Of laws Is 4
religion of restraints and regu lations
The religion Of the gospel is u religion
OF inspiration and life. The one is thu
Ten Commandment Is; the other Is tn,
Sermon on the Mount.
Sometimes, however, the Ten Com
mandments and the Sermon on thu
Mount go very well together. Louii

with links enough to measure that
domain of meaning. In this world we
must build everything on a small scale.
A hundred years are great while. A

A slSeptic desiring to show his con-
tempt for the passing years, and to
show that he could build enduringly,
had his own sepulchey made Of the finest
and the hardest marble, and then he
had put on the words, "For time and
for etc ernity;" but it so happened that
the seed of tree somehow got into an
unseen crevice of the marble. That seed
grew and enlarged until 1t became q

of the tomb Is only a milestone, mark
ing the first mile, and that the great
journey is beyond. We have only time
enough in this world to put on the san
dals and to clasp our girdle and to pick
