Training Future Husbands.

The ease with which boy is trained
to be methodical and orderly depends
to great extent on the kind of room
he occupies at home; though, of course
there are some boys, as there are some
girls, who seem to be incorrigible in
this respect, in spite of care and sur
roundings. But whatever the natural
and often inherited tendency towards
order or disorder, it is either increased
or modified by the manner of living; so
that it always pays to give special at.
tention to the proper arrangement of a
youths room, and to place everything
in a manner that will encourage order
rather than disorder.
The majority of boys, whether they
express it or not, are really appreciative
of intelligent efforts for their comfort,
and by tactfully guiding them in the
right direction in home matters, one is
really doing good missionary work fol
the next generation, in the training oi
future husbands and heads of families
For habits formed in youth are seldom
entirely forgotten in after years.-Fron

How it Was Made,

1t has been a wonder to most Kan
sas people how the republican party Of
this state, at its recent convention.
was enabled to think of and string to-
gether such a cOnglomeration of alb
surdities as its present platform. We
are glad to be able co enlighten the
public on the matter and clear the
mystery, by giving the explanation of
one of the republican editors, the ven
erable Sol Miller of the Troy Chief:
1.-The platform adopted at The state
convention last week is wonderful
piece of mechanism, equaled only by
the clock of the Strasburg cathedral.
The combination is known only to the
committee. The platform of two
years ago was sumner, but this one
is daisy. We have just learned how
it was constructed. The committee
agreed that they would eat late sup:
per of kraut dumplings and 60 to bed
and next morning each member should
write down what he dreamed and
string it together for platform. They
faithfully carried out their plan. We
notice that they have saved those 80,-
600 Methodist votes by putting in a
prohibitory plank. 1t favors the en-
forcemert of all the laws on the stat
ute book, Including those enacted for
the enforcement of the prOhibitory
amendment. This is like endorsing
all the teachings of Christ, including
the sermon on the mount, or endorsing
the beauty of pretty girl, including
her eyes, her teeth and her features; or
endorsing the city of Topeka. including
its streets and houses"

In memory OF MRS. ETA NEWMAN, who died in
the full flush of womanhood, at her home in Kan

THE republicans enter this campaign
completely handicapped. They swore
eternal fealty to the doctrines of high
protection as laid down in the Mckinley
bill and the Minneapolis delegates put
the party on its record for creating
millionaires. Hardly had the delegates
reached their homes before Carnegie
closes his steel mills at Homestead
Pa. Around his manufacturing plant
he has built a wall fifteen feet high.
Great lines of electric wire have been
laid and pipes placed in the walls to
throw hot water. It is intended to
prevent the strikers from attacking
non-union men. Hundreds of Pinker.
ton detectives are guarding the works,
and the beauties of protection and OF
McKinleyism is in full blast. The
great industrial baron sits in his castle
in Scotland, and orders reduction OF
wages, and thousands of workingmen
are in open revolt. A land filed with
millionaires and % 900 900 landless and
homeless people is fiattering testimo
nial to the much vaunted republican
party.-Arkansas City Democrat.

Howe On Republicanisn,

Ed. Howe, who edits the Atchison
Globe, is growing decidedly indepen-
dent. AS republican, he declares the1
republican party ought to be defeated.
But Howe's remarks are so pertinent
and to the the point that we reproduce
them in their entirety. Here they are:
There is vast amount OF fanati-
cism about modern republicans Thou
sands of republicans imagine that there
would be actual danger in electiDg a
democratic president, in the face of the
positive knowledge that the admins
tration OF Mr.. Cleveland was one of
the best in recent history. The writer
of this is an old time republican, and
he admires the flag. and the history of
the war, as much as any one, but he
believes that there is such a thing as
the republicans making patriotism
foolish. Kansas has suffered from an
excess of republican patriotism. In
admiring the splendid record of the re-
publican party, we have neglected vital
interests and permitted dishonest re-
publicans to do foolish things in the
name of liberty.
This state would be positively bene-
fitted by clean cut defeat of the re-
publican ticket at the coming election.
1t would not be defeat of liberty, but
a defeat of the state house ring, which
has become overbearing and greedy.
Many serious republican crimes have
been committed in Kansas under cover
of the old flag. and republicans seem
to forget that democrats are also Amer
leans and good citizens. If the writer
of this lived in pivotal state, he would
vote the democratic ticket from top to
bottom, although he is a good repuhli-
can At the next election he would
vote the republican ticket. Unless you
hold an Office that pays well it is a
good idea to change your politics occa-
, sionally. The man who is always re-
publican or always democrat is look
ing for office"

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

GREAT BEND, Kan, July 7, 1Sez.-A
delegate convention of the democrats
of the seventh congressional district of
the state of Kansas. is hereby called to
meet at Dodge City, on Tuesday, Aug
ust 10, at 3 o'clock, P. M. for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
congress for said district. The basis
of representation will be one delegate
at large from each county in the dis
trict and one delegate additional for
every 300 votes or major fraction of
$50 votes cast for John Sheridan a
democratic presidential elector in 1888.
The several counties will be entitled
to the following delegates under this
call

Congressional Committee Meeting,

The democratic congressional con-
vention for the Big Seventh district
will be held at Dodge City August Is
and the basis of representation will be
the same as that of the two state con-
ventions-one delegate from each
county in the district and one delegate
for every 800 votes or major fraction
of 100 votes cast for John Sheridan,
democratic presidential elector in 1888.
This is the action of the democratic
congressional committee which was
in session four hours Thursday p. M.
at the Morrison in this city. There
were Twenty-Five out of the thirty
seven counties in the district repre-
sented and the complete and thorough
organization of the committee was a
matter of general comment.
The first subject considered was The
time for holding the convention
Three dates were suggested by as many
committeeman, July 80, August %
and September % we're named. They
were all voted down and finally Aug
ust Is, a compromise date, was agreed
upon. The convention will be called
to order at 8 p. m.
Hutchison, Dodge City and Kinsley
were named by the committeeman
from three towns as proper places fol
holding the convention. The first bal.
lot resulted as follows: Dodge Cit,
Is, Hutchinson II, Kinsley 2. Dodg'
City was therefore selected.
The basis of representation in th'
convention provoked good deal of dis
cusstn.
Mr.. Petition of Dodge City offered ,
resolution to the effect that the basil
of representation be the same as at the
state convention-one delegate fr i
each cesnty and one delegate for every
800 votes or major fraction of $50 vote
cast for John Sheridan, presidentia
elector in 1888.
An amendment was offered by Hon
FL. NJ. Bickle of Larned that the dele
gates be based on the vote cast fo
Governor Robinson in 1890.
During the discussion that followe,
the point was raised that a basis OF
the vote of Robinson would be unfai
to the western counties and in favor o
the counties of Sedwick, Reno an,
Sumner with their large city vote. I
was claimed that this city vote wa
not entirely democratic, but include
many resubmission republicans.
On the other hand it was contende
that the vote on presidential electo
was of a territorial character an
therefore benefited the western cour

ties and did not give Sedwick, Sumner
and Reno fair representation.
A substitute was offered to the eff
feet that the delegates be based on the
vote for state treasurer in 1890.
The substitute was defeated by a
vote of 10 to 10, and the original mo-
tion to make the basis on the vote for
Sheridan in 1883 was carried by vote
of 19 to 10.
It was recommended that all counties
select their delegates on or before
August 10, and send their credentials
to w. E. Stoke, secretary of the con-
gressional committee at Great Bend.
Resolutions thanking the chairman
of the congressional committe for his
services, to the citizens of Great Bend
for their hospitality and the kotel pro-
prietor for cOurtesies were passed and
the committee adjourned to meet at
Dodge City, Monday, August 15, at 8
O'Clock.

No Grow, Thank You,

In commenting on an editorial in this
paper in which we gave it as OUR oPIN-
ION that the democrats of Kansas would
not endorse the whole alliance ticket,
Mr.. Armstrong went clear out of his
way to say:
''Mr. Stoke is willing to aid in taking
the electoral vote away from the repub-
licans, hoping no doubt, in so doing he
may be able to help elect Cleveland,
and thereby gale postofdce; but he is
not willing to help take away the state
Offices, because he has no hope of any
gain in this transaction.
s'LArER:-As we go to press the re-
port comes that the democratic conven-
ton, at Topeka, has endorsed the en-
tire peoples ticket, both state ticket
and presidential electors. Now if this
be true, Mr.. Stoke will be obliged to
'eat crow, or support the republican
ticket"
AS to what we are willing to do and
what we expect to gain thereby, Mr..
Armstrong has no means of knowing
our thoughts or our desires except as
we make them known through the
DEMOCRAT, and he is not only unjust
but unmanly and contemplate when be
assumes to charge US with possessing
his own low standard of ambition. Had
he any sense of what courtesies are due
from man to man, he would charge nc
man with insincerity and subterfuge
with dishonesty of purpose or lack Of
party fealty until he had some proof te
back his charges.
| We eat no crow, Armstrong; and WE
support no republican ticket. We
choose to "ca1l a spade a spade," ans
tell you plainly that in supporting th'
peoples party state and electoral ticke
we do it as democrat, to further tn
interests of democracy and good gov
ernment by helping to dethrone tn
monopoly party. If you and you
party are as honest in intention an
work as hard and faithfully for the sue
cess of your ticket-not ours-the fins
result will be what all good men desire
Look after your own following and d
not thrust your opinions or intrusiv
interpretations of our thought or desir
upon your readers who are mostly abb
to judge people for themselues-doub
less better able to do so than you are.

Senator Palmer made a speech in

Senator Palmer made a speech in
the senate yesterday defending the
right of the Carnegie employees to de-
mand what wages they wanted and to
take possession of the works if neces-
sary to force the owner to their de-
mands. This is the boldest step yet
taken in behalf of rioters. 1t simply
leads to revolution and anarchy
Evening News.
WE ARE a little surprised to see
Judge Townsley taking sides with the
Pinkerton detective system, and in the
above paragraph quoted casting reflec-
tions upon one of the noblest defend
ers of laborers rights that we have in
the United States senate. The Car
negie employees were promised by the
repu blican party that the protection
given Carnegie was for their benefit;
the whole text of the protective law is
professedly for the benefit of Ameri-
can laborers. By the government thus
stepping in and legislating for the
Carnagie works it made those works
as much public property as are the
great public highways, and the labor
ers therein had right to defend their
property from any armed body of
hirelings; they had right to protest
against their wages being lowered
when the law was made to raise their
wages instead of lowering them. If
the protective policy as taught by re-
publicans means anything its provis-
ions should be respected and its aims
carried out. If it was made to aid
American working men such men
have a right to protest against its de-
priving them of not only their means
of sustenance and homes but of their
liberty as well. 1t was sorry day
for the republican party when Carne-
gle overstepped himself and resorted
to force of arms to further degrade and
1mpoverish his workmen, and we be-
lieve that Judge Townsley will regret
the day that he volunteered to cham
pion the cause of injustice and op-
preston.

CARNEGIE's workmen should sell out
their little homes at Homestead and
come to sunny and free Kansas, where
no Pinkertons are allowed, and where
the sympathizers and supporters of
such protected aristocrats as Carnegie
are rapidly joining the diminutive
minority.
