old party papers in Kansas that
they were edited by clowns, and
that the reading public were taking
papers to light fires. The amount
of rubbish that has appeared in the
plutocratic press about "Sockless
jerry" and Senator PETERS beard,
would make good.sized library,
and yet it is the silliest of Stiffness.
No reader Of common intelligence
cared, at least after hearing it once,
to have the rubbish repeated. The
whole story about Simpson not
wearing socks was all lie out of
whole cloth. Mr.. PETER does not
wear an extraordinary beard; and if
both those gentlemen had remained
in the old parties, they would have
been fine gentlemen, and the papers
would have been filled with some
thing else just as worthless. Still,
there ia method in madness Of the
plutocratic journals, and the object
is to make the people ashamed of
their representatives, and to dis
tract attention from real questions.
Persons unacquainted with Simpson
and PETER would think they were
Doors, and the Peoples party was
an uprising of grossly-ignorant peo-
pie. While Simpson and PETER
have drawn more ridicule than 9TH
ers, yet all the leaders in the labor
movement come in for large share
of either abuse, ridicule or misrep-
resentation. The farmers have
always been the butt of many a
coarse jest of other classes, but
never until now have they been
called fools, and the men voted for
been ridiculed. AS long as the
farmers voted as the bosses dictated,
no matter if they voted for an ass,
or a scoundrel, it was all right.
No matter how ridiculous they were
in other things, their voting was
really intelligent, and they were
patted on the back, if they voted
for banker, or a railroad attorney,
or even a farmer, provided the
farmer did not know enough to
know the was fool and tool.
What is wrong now is that the
working people propose to select
their own candidates, and not leave
their selection to the very smart
railroad attorneys and ring bosses.
No matter how learned, how wise,
or how gentlemanly leader of the
common people may be, he will not
receive gentlemanly treatment from
plutocracy, and the ours who wear
collars. Not single man has es-
capped, and no man may expect to
escape this kind Of persecution Till
the reform is accomplished. When
one lie has run it's course, as in the

WHEAT is intrinsically valuable
for food, wool and cotton for cloth
ing. iron and copper for machinery,
coal for fuel, and timber for dwell
ings, and to the human family are
indispensable. How absurd then to
place gold or silver above these
things in intrinsic value, when,
really, the human family would
scarcely miss gold and silver if they
were stricken from existence, after
a medium of exchange had been
supplied to take their place.

Mr.. Funston as Skinner.
The Garnett Eagle informs it's
readers that Mr.. Funston has gone
into the "skinning business, and
already has the hides of Simpson,
PETER and Polk on the fence to dry. "
Mr.. Funston has posed heretofore
as a farmer, but we presume that
now his friends will insist that Mr..
Funston is also a butcher. Evi.
IDENTIFY, Funston, though large, is a
growing man. Funston is a farmer,
but according to contemporary,
Mrs. Funston does the farming.
Funston is a butcher, but he lost
his own hide in little skinning
bout with Congressman KEN, OF
Nebraska. We presume Funston is
one of the "stand-ups"l for Kansas;
one of the "good word speakers, y
but Mr.. Funston is not doer. He
does not even know what the mass
of his continents stand in need Of.
He is all farmer and butcher, but he
is NJ what he ought to be--a states
man. The Eagle may palm Funston
off on the unthinking, as witty,
when in truth his late "skinning"
of Watson and Simpson was pure
and unadulterated rowdyism, so
much SO, that he had to be called to
order by members, and by the chair.
THE financial policy of John

Ough-oo-oo-oo! What an awful,
awful fix this country is lin! Why
on earth doesn't the editor of the
Courier leave it? Why is it that
every year hundreds of thousands
of people are coming to it from
other lands? Stop them; stop them!
1t is cruel to- allow them to come to
a land where there is nothing but
acknowledgements Tines.
We suppose one very good rea-
son why the editor of the Courier
does not leave the country is, plu'
tocrats and coupon clippers have SC
nearly made a hell of all other
countries that he is afraid to make
the venture. The hundred thou

A. A. CHILDRENs HOME.

To the Editor of the Eagie.
In presenting the first yearly report Of
A. A. NJ. Childrens home we do so with
gratitude to all who have lent a helping
hand in assisting us to prepare place and
sustain our poor homeless little ones.
We were ten in number when we met at
Mrs p. Glovers, No 7O4 North Market
street on the 9th day of Dec. 1890, and
each one of us felt that we were instru-
ments in the hands of God to work for
Him and take care of the poor dark lambs
that are destitute in the flock. We real
lied that we were poor but we went down
on our knees and when we arose we were
filled with the richness of the grace of God
and we formed temporary organization
and the first appeal for public aid was
sent through the columns of the EAGLE
Dec. 21st, 1890 Our charter WAS filed at
Topeka Jan. 9th, 1871 and our permanent
organization was completed Feb. 18th,
1891. We met with many discourage
ments and few people thought our appeal
to the city coulcil and to the county COM
missioners would meet with success. But
we worked earnestly, and increasingly
pushed our claim, never doubling the JUS
tice of Almighty God, whom we believe
has power to move the hearts of men. In
May the council granted US an appropria-
tion of S25 per month and July 1st the
county commissioners agreed to pay US
quarterly $50.
Our appropriations being small we felt
a great deal depended on our own efforts.
Thus our little mites have been sent We
did not feel to have many of these small
donations published, yet it is true these
small mites built the foundation, laid he
corner stone and today is proping up the
home. Our first inmate was received May
l, Mrs &. Harper presiding rs matron
(Mr Harper proved herself a lady of esti-
mable character, but unaccustomed to
business tactics, therefore change has
been made) Since receiving our first in
mate our home has had the care of not
less than two nor more than eight. Seven
are now safely housed beneath its shelter.
Too much praise canot be given the officers
and members of the humane society, who
the furnishing OF our home and
especially Mrs. Clara Clark, who has taken
a personal interest in our cause. and who
from time to time has aided us by her
kind counsel aud benevolent gifts. Would
that there were few more such women
as Mrs. Clark in Wichita, we feel our
Peerless Princess would indeed be para
disc.
OF late our expenses for help have been
greatly augmented, and we most earnestly
ask the generous public to assist us with
their mites. Give US merchandise or gro
ceries, old clothes or.what you can. Any
thing sent TO our home, corner Oak street
and Waco avenue, will he most graciously
received May the God of peace rest and
abide with all who aid or WISH us we'll

WHEN / GO HOME.

It comes To me often in silence,
When the freight splutters low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago;
Always with a throb of heartache.
That shrills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of the cities
And of faces old and strange;
I know where there's warmth Of welcome
And my yearning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense OF pain;
But there'll be JOY in the coming
When l 60 home again.
When go home againi ThereS music
That may never die away,
And it seems the hand of angela
On a mystic harp, at play,
Have touched with yearning sadness
On beautiful. broken strain
To which is my fond heart wording
When go home again
Outside Of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And Slowly the autumn's shadows
Come drifting. drifting in.
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs
To the plash of the autumn rain;
But | dream of the glorious greeting
