tsStand Up For Kansas"

Topeka Populist.
CARBoNDALE, KAs., Oct. Is, 1892.
A prominent "Stand up for Kan
sas" man, Mr. N. s. Bryant Of Car
bondale, but formerly clerk of Lin
coin county, Kansas, boasts, on the
streets of Carbonate, of his smart
Republican tricks while in Office out
there, that farmers are compelled to
stand the "cussing" for now. The
trick happened in this way: A gen
tleman friend wrote to him Bryant
wishing him to sell his farm, suggest
ing to get what he could for the
same that it stood him $500 and he
ought to have what it cost, or more.
Mr.. Bryant connived to furnish the
necessary appraisement and secured
loan of 81 200 from the Kansas
Loan and Trust Company on this
farm. The deed was made out and
delivered to this brilliant, slick Re-
publican by virtue ofhis holding this
honored trust, and the deal consum-
mated The remittance made to the
confiding eastern gentleman, his
$500, less Sticks commission, Bry
ant had his $500 to whack up with
the. blackleg gentry who insist on
standing up for Kansas" to the ut
ter disgust of all decent people.
Comments are unnecessary. The
question arose in the crowd that he
was talking to, "Who stole the
$500 ?" Murder will out, if man
has to tell it himself. Ton.
The above is fair sample of what
our "stand up" friends have been
considering as legitimate business.
This is the kind of business that has
done much to ruin the good name Of
the state

Midland Mechanic.
The supreme court of Pennsylva-
MIA, anent the charges OF treason, is
resolving itself into a supreme-ly
ridiculous affair.
The action of the New York Judge
who refused to issue naturalization
papers to foreigners who could not
read the constitution Of the United
States should receive the commend
alton of every true American citi-
zen.
Daniel Webster once made a
prophecy, and it may now be near
at hand. He said that day of dis
aster for any nation will surely
dawn whenever it's society is divid-
ed into two classes-the unemployed
rich and the unemployed pOor-the
former a handful, the latter host.
The labor outlook in England is
far from encouraging. The situa-
ton has been growing worse for
several months past, but now the
situation is decidedly gloomy Of
the twenty-five chief trades unions
in London, only two report trade as
good nine consider it moderate,
and eleven, having the greatest
membership, report it bad.
The constitution of the state of
Pennsylvania does not agree with
the constitution Of the United States
in the definition of treason" Re-
sisting sheriff or some other peace
officer does not constitute treason
under the supreme constitution, but
it is made to so appear under that
of the commonwealth of Pennsylva-
MIA. 1t is evident to the most super
fetal observer that the charge is
trumped up for the occasion, and
that the courts of the land are pros
tituted to the corrupt use of a mon
eyed aristocracy.

The New Nation.
Mr.. Wanamaker, who is tending
his duties as postmaster-gencraf,
must nurse variety of emotions
these piping days of his prosperity.
AS heavy owner of Reading stock
he cannot be blind to the financial
benefits flowing to him personally by
the absorption of rival roads, the dis
charge of trainmen, the cutting down
of the output of mines, the crowd
ing out Of local agencies and the ar
tificial increase of the market price
of coal.
At the head of the nationalized SER
vice of postal communication, he
cannot be blind to the personal pres
tige incident to the conduct of his
department for the people at cost.
There can no longer be any rcas-
enable doubt that the railroads OF
New England will soon drop into two
systems. The placing of the Maine,
the New England and the Reading
roads under one management indi-
Gates plainly enough one OF these
dominant systems. We may soon
expect to see the Concord and Mon
treal, the Old Colony and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford
roads getting togethes, possibly un-
der Vanderbilt Influences. At any
rate, forces are now i'll operation
which will make combination
against Reading business necessi-

will prevent the new system from
following the example OF Reading
and freezing out the middlemen who
now deal in grain, beef and provis-
ions The fact that block of Read
ing stock recently passed into Van
derbilt hands, and that Wander
bilt brokers had a hand in nego-
tiating the Reading combine, gives
rise to the rumor that all New Eng
land is to be brought under one
management. Good luck to our

Don't Get Up Too Soon.

Keep child in bed for fully :
week after every symptom of illness
has disappeared, is my rule in al
serious Diseases" said an eminent
physician. IF you will do this yo,
will greatly reduce the chances of
relapse When the temperature be
comes normal and the appetite re-
turns the patient naturally becomes
eager to get up, and it is very natu
raj to suppose that the change from
bed to lounge, or even to the nexl
room, would be beneficial; but it is
really most dangerous This is gen
orally the time when busy doctor
feels that he ought to be able to turn
over his charge to those who are
nursing him; and yet in many and
many a case relapse has occurred
and the last state is worse than the
first. Therefore, as l say, keep thu
patient in bed week longer-it does
no harm, and an ounce of prevention
IS worth a pound of cure. New

A Child's Early Influences.

Nothing IS so easily spoiled as q
child. Walk with your little babe a
few nights when you wish to put il
to sleep; or accustom it to rocking.
then attempt to put it to sleep with.
out this habit, and, see how difficult
1t VIII be to get it to sleep. The
parent must from the beginning OF
the child's existence do those things
to which the child is to conform. II
Is allowing children to have thei1
own way during the first few wears
of their lives that makes them Sc
hard to control. Before they are
able to talk they are being nodded
by the actions of those around them.
1t is therefore highly important
that from the beginning the best in
f1uence and example should be about
the child. 1t is serious mistake in
parents to commit their children
wholly into the hands of nurse. No
parent can afford to do this. even
though she have a very kind and
careful nurse. Every mother desires
that her child bear the impress of
her own image. This cannot be
when it is with the nurse more than
with the mother.
Few people have any idea of the
extent of the part performed by
nurses in the formation of society.
Many mother wonders where her
son or her daughter learned these
things, or formed that habit, or
heard such and such an expression.
Let her listen few minutes at the
nursery door and all will be made
plain. -Housekeeper.
