Zach Taylor's Wife Liked Her Pipe.


Zachary Taylor never felt at ease
in the White House. He was rather
portly and had a big head covered
with luxuriant white hair. When
ever he appeared in public and was
greeted with applause, he would,
wave his hand and say: "Your humble
servant, ladies; heaven bless you,
gentlemen" He was fond Of MORN
ing walks through the streets Of
Washington, wearing an old silk hat
perched on the back of his head and
q black broadcloth suit much too
large for him. His wife took little
or no part in society, but remained
quietly at home knitting and smok.

Three regimental surgeons followed
Iams to the guard tent. The young

~(sladstone as . Poet.

Like many others who have attained

Mr.. Gladstone had the Wegg-like
habit Of dropping into poetry in his

poetry it was, too, as the volumes O,

And why was the secret hid?

As they contradicted round;
Now the .didsn would fire u volley.
Then the .didn'tsn would reply,
Then they both would send the story
With a vengeance to the sky.
Then therc'd come q quiet moment;
Not a Katy could be heard.
And no sound would break the stillness,
Save the call of some late bird;
When again would burst in concert,
With q. vigorous refrain,
How Miss .katy did" and sdidn't,n
With a spite that rang again.
Often ON the lonely picket.
With the enemy in sight,
have listened to the music
Through h long hours OF the night,
And 1t eve sounded sweeter,
With It's melancholy air.
Than when on the W of battle
1t resounded everywhere.
Many times I've heard the Katies
Since the closing of the war.
But those Katies OF the Southland
We're superior by far;
And to-day their music fingers.
While the sound of martial strife
Like q dream of youth has faded
And has vanished from our life.

Youths at the Worlds Fair,

Provision has been made for the
holding in Chicago at the time of the
Worlds Fair, of a congress composed
of youths of all nations of the world.
Delegates will he sent. it is expected,
from England, Japan. France, Ger
many. Norway. Sweden. Spain, Aus.
tria, Italy, Russia, and countries of
the Orient. These young men are to
he selected from the high schools and
the grammar-school grades. Their
ages are to range between l3 and 20
years. No Worlds Fair congress that
has been thus far arranged for, it
is thought, will excite more interest
than this project. The pith of the
argument for such a congress is en-
braced in the following paragraph
from the preliminary address:
ut is felt that Il carefully selected
assembly of the young from all ma
tions under such remarkable condi-
tions as will prevail during the
Columbian Exposition. cannot fail to
powerfully aid this high end. 1t is
purposed to draw together the
worthiest and the most talented
youth of all lands. the coming lead
crs of mankind, that they may be
led to realize, as could not otherwise
be possible, the meaning and the
wovth of the fellowship of nations
and the brotherhood of man. In a
gathering so constituted there would
certainly be some who will be called
to deal decisively with the destinies
of states and the serious ice of
millions of men. Brought thus to-
gether, and face to face with the
larger relations of our independent
humanity. those fresh minds would
greatly gain in fitness for the impor-
tant tasks decrced to their future.
Among them would be many who
will survive all who arc now active
on the stage of the worlds affairs,
and who would therefore stand be-
fore the generation to follow us as
witnesses of the humanizing power of
the Worlds Exposition of 1893, and
be inspired by its influence to higher
and more useful careers, making the
fulflllment OF its great promises their
noblest claim to history"

Speaking of the speech of Prof.
Gaines, which was considered on all
hands as incOntrOvertible argument,

He took the estimated true value
of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
and compared them with the assessed
valuation of many northern and south
ern states"
A cause must be almost wholly lost
that requires resort to such gross per-
version of fact as the above. Every
one who heard Prof. Gaines knows
that the values quoted by him were
not estimated" at all, but were based
on the assessment figures furnished
by the United States census urder a
Republican administration. Every
one knows further that the assessed

WICHITA, KANs., Sept. 26, 1892.
Hon. MORGAN CARAwAY,
Chairman Republican congressional
committee, Seventh District, Great
Bend, Kansas.
DEAR SIR:-I hereby acknowledge
the receipt of proposition looking to
a joint debate between Hon. Jerry
Simpson, present congressman from
the Big Seventh and candidate for
reelection, and Hon. Chester l.
Long, the Republican nominee for
congress.
Without consulting Mr.. Simpson
upon this subject, | take the respOn-
Sibility, as chairman of the Peoples
party congressional committee, of
cOurteouSly, but positively, declining
the proposition for the following man
ifeSt reasons:
l. That for the past six weeks your
committee has exhausted every means
at its command to secure for Mr..
Long a respectable sized audience,
only to meet with dismal failure,
while Mr.. Simpsons campaign in this
district has been one continuous Oya-
tiOn, and therefore do not wish to be
party to or in any way assist in fore
ing the people to hear Mr.. Long when
they have so clearly shown by their
non-attendance at his meetings that
they do not want to hear him.
,. Since constant miSrepreSenta-
tion and abuse of the opponents of
the Republican party in Kansas, and
not argument upon the vital and
burning issues Of the hour, is the sole
'stock in trade" of Mr.. Long and his
fellow Republicans who pretend to
''stand up for Kansas" the proposed
joint discussions could in no way en-
tighten the people of this district or
benefit the cause which Mr.. Simpson
so hOnOrably represents.
Respectfully,

greSSiOnal committee.

The meetings held in the county
last week by Prof. Gaines and the
QuenemO Glee Club were a success
from beginning to end. At ArgOnia
there was a little confusion, some
thinking there was to be day meet
ing. At the suggestion Of the COM
mitteeman there the day meeting
was called in. In the evening a hall
full of people gathered and went
away wonderfully pleased. At Gif-
fOrd'S grove the barbecue was a great
success and Notwithstanding every
farmer in the county was ''up to his
ears" in wheat drilling, a crowd of
1000 or more people came out and the
enthusiasm impaired will go rolling
along the line until the climax in No
vember. At Conway Springs bills ad-
vertiSing the meeting had failed to
reach the committeeman and not
withstandiEg the people were almost
in ignorance of the meeting, before
the arrival of the speakers, the hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
The meeting was a great success as
typifed by the death of Republican
dog in the street in front of the hall
while Prof. Gaines was exhOrting the
''yellow ribbon" distress sign crowd to
''stand up for Kansas" The series
of meetings have inspired enthusiasm
, everywhere and the result will be
seen in November.

Elsewhere will be found an open
letter from Fred L. Bailey, chairman
Of the congressional committee, de.
clining a challenge for joint debates
between Jerry Simpson and Chester
l. Long. 1t was the proper thing to do.
That our cause is just, on the whole,
is scarcely disputed even by Republi-
can orators and that Jerry Simpson is
amply able to take care Of himself in
any emergency, has been heretofore
fully demonstrated. The object Of a
joint debate was to take advantage Of
the universally large crowds that al
ways greet Jerry and dissipate the ef-
feet OF his speeches by technical Objec-
tions and senseless ridicule. II the
opposition had dignity and reason
enough to analyze these questions so
as to educate the people, the debates
would be well enough, but as there is
no honor in a contest between a rat
and an elephant, neither would there
be in debate Of this sort. The issues
which the Peoples party are putting
before the people are too serious to be
dissipated by cunningly twisted tech
nicalities and frivolous ridicule.
