Why Is IL?

Mary Hedrick, poor unfortunate
abandoned girl, scarcely II years old
suffering from a loathsom disease, is
being cared for by the young men of a
Topeka club. Her lover betrayed heI
under the promise of marriage and
then abandoned her. She quickly drank
the bitter potion of sin and shame
and sank in one short year to the low
est depth of infamy. She was Stunned
by the women of Topeka. Not one OF
them held out a sisterly hand to draw
her back to the plane of respectability
and true womanhood. It Isl always
thusly.
Women are the last persons ON earth
to assist their sex. On the other hand
the betrayer, the frequenter of houses
of i'll fame, the human jackal is vel
coined into the house of the upper ten. d
The arm which few short hours be.
fore encircled the form of sin and in.
fanny is allowed to clasp the form OF
virtue and innocence in the private
dancing party. Men are not ostracised
from society for their indiscretions
but a woman no more guilty is damned
and pushed into hell itself by the
foibles of present society.
A radical change is necessary.
Womanhood true as steel has often
been sacrificed at the altar of passion;
confiding and loving hearts have been
left torn and bleeding; public opinion
with the pail of midnight blackness has
enveloped the victim. Society has BAN
ished these same creatures to hell itself.
We're the proper steps taken thousands
of women in America would yearly
be reclaimed, and it is to be hoped that
the action of the Topeka club will be
the beginning of movement having
for its object the reclamation of poor
unfortunates.-Ex.

roads. They were regarded as private
property which the stockholders had a
right to run to suit themselves with
out any regard to the rights of the
people. When the courts, however,
came to pass on the subject and point
out that the government exercised its
right of way for these great lines of
transportation; that it did so in the
interests of the public and not for the
sole benefit of the men who build
railroads the whole subject was reveal
ed in a different light.
The next thing to succumb to the
light of nublic intelligence and law
will be the trusts. The United States
court has recently given the whisky
trust set back that is a reminder that
trusts are not superior to the people.
In 1887 the Nebraska City distillery
went into the whisky trust and, after
running two years, shut down. It had
been leased to the trust for twenty
five years, and after being shut down
was sold to G.. l.. Woolsey, under the
condition that he was not to use it for
distilling purposes. Woolsey began
the manufacture Of whisky, and the
trust Immediately began suit, alleging
violation of the terms of sale. The
defense was that thu terms of sale were
intended to perpetuate monopoly, and
were, therefore, contrary to public
policy. Five suits in all were main
tanned, and in each instance the trust
was defeated.
Here is plain statement which goes
to show that the United States court
does not regard very seriously con-
tract made to perpetuate trust. 1t is
only question of time when the trusts
in this country will have to behave
themselves decently in order to be able

JOE HUDSON, of the Capital, says
that Humphreys administration is
rotten, and that Lew Hanback, is po-
litical loafer, whom the Governor has
paid out of the contingent fund $500
a month for doing nothing except to
travel around in the in terest of Hum
phrey. We are inclined to think from
what the Capital says, that the Gov.
ernor is fraud and his enforcement
of the prohibition law hilarious hum
bug.-OSkalOosa Times.

A REMARKABLE CLUBBING RATE
But few More Weeks in Which to Take
Advantage of It.

Advantage OF 1t.
By special arrangement with that
greatest of all American weekly news
papers, The Atlanta Constitution, we
are enabled to offer The DEMOCRAT
with it for the remarkably low rate OF
$I.75 for one year. The Constitution
has weekly circulation of 156, 900 and
is the model weekly newspaper OF
America. Bill Arp, Joel Chandler
Harris. Uncle Remns), DR.. Talmage.
Betsy Hamilton, Sarge Plunkett, and a
number of other writer's of national
reputation contribute to its columns.
Its farm and farmers department. is
the abIest of that of any American
newspaper, and the women's and child
rens' department is conducted with a
special view to interest and instruct
those for whom it is prepared.
It's news department is the mos
complete of any weekly newspaper
pvblished. This great paper has cor
respondents in all parts of the world,
and covers the news of all the states
in every detail.
This clubbing offer will not last after
the 1st of June, as by on arrangement
with the, Constitution we cannot offer
it after that time.
Nobody can do without complete
newspaper during the next few months.
Every important Office in the country
is to be filed, and The Constitution
will give the most complete reports
from every section Of any southern
paper.
The paper should be in every house
hold and we cheerfully recommend the
acceptance of this remarkablylow offer
for your local paper and the greatest
American weekly newspaper-both at
almost the price of one paper.

The North American Review of a
recent date contained an article headed.
"What shall we do with our millionaires?
The question that seems to worry most
people is, what are our millionaires 60
ing to do with us?-Hoisington Dis
patch.
IF YOUR boasted party of protection,
force bill, and Reedism is continued in
power longer, friend Ira, the million
aires will do as they please with US.
The DEMOCRAT can hardly believe that
this grand and great country is beyond
redemption from the grasp of the
plutocracy fostered and fattened by
republican fayoritism. We believe that
within few short months the people
will arouse to a sense of the danger
that threatens them and turn down the
millionaires and their party, placing
this government in the hands of mer
who represent the people, and not the
money of the land. If you still con
tinual to be worried about what the
millionaires are going to do with you,
cease your tribulations and join with
the vast army of reformers that will
march to victory under the democratic
banner of right and Justice, and help to
make this a government by the people
for the people, and not as it now is-a
government by the millionaires and the
republican party, for the nillionaires
and the republican party.

Strobel-Munger Wedding.

Tuesday, May 10th, at 1000 a. M, Mr..
Joe Strobe, Jr. of Stafford county, and
Miss Sarah Munger, of Barton county,
were united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony, Rev. Father Kelley officiating.
All the beautiful ceremonies appro-
pirate to the ceremony were used.
Never did groom or bride look 80 happy
when the binding words were pro-
nounced as these two did. The music
of the occasion was in accord with the
rest of the ceremony. Messrs. Jos.
Pendsack and John Munger acted as
best men, while Misses Susie Strobel
and Mary Dreifuss took the part of
brides maids. Miss Susie Munger was
attired in beautiful blue satin dress,
white kid gloves and wore a beautiful
wreath of natural flowers interviewer
with smilax. The groom wore conven-
ventional black. Many friends of the
contracting parties from the city and
surrounding country were present to
witness the grand ceremony. After the
marriage knot had been tied, (which by
the way can not be broken only by
deatb) those who were fortunate
enough to receive invitations. drove to
the home of the BRIDES parents 13 miles
southwest of Great Bend, where the
good old mother had prepared dinner.
About fifty couples sat down and to say

kindness would be putting it mildly.
After the dinner had been gone through
with, all the rooms were cleared, and
all those who were inclined to trip the
light fantastic were afforded the oppor-
tunity to the excellent strains of music
rendered by Prof. Ambrose Beyers'
orchestra. The following is a partial
list OF the many presents which our
young couple received from their nu-
merous friends:

A FEW pointed remarks from the
Lawrence Record on the position of
Gov. Humphrey: 1.-THE lazy political
loafer," as Major Hudson calls Lew
Hanback,, may nonchalentiy suggest
vermifuge for "Tghting Joe." but he
will be obliged to answer that charge
that he uses the contingent fund of the
state to campaign for Humphrey up
on. If this is true, he and the COVER
of association with decent men. The
scandal connected with this putrid ad-
ministration is sufficient to damn it
forever and the party as well, if it in
dorses such corrupt coterie."
