KINGNAN,s RATIFICATION.

AANU4AN - GRAAE AOAAAONs
EDITOR ADVOCATE: The Peoples
party ratification and senatorial conven-
tion held at this place July 30, was a
success in every way. We third partyiteS
do, and have q right to hug ourselves as
we review that days work.
The city was gaily decorated with flags,
and hundreds of people from the sur
rounding country and neighboring towns
crowded the streets and filled the opera
house to overfowing. In the morning
stirring speeches were made by Hon. F.
J. Close, Of the First district, and Noah
Allen, of Wichita. At Q p. m. standing
room was at a premium at the opera
house, and the convention adjourned to
the knights Of Labor hall in order to give
more room to those who had come to
meet and listen to the speeches OF their
chosen standard bearers. When the
chairman introduced "0ur next COVER
nor, Hon. L. D. Lewelling," the cheers
which greeted him carried in their tones
the spirit and determination of the peO-
pie to stand In line and make him COVER
nor In fact In November. His clear,
concise and forclble presentation Of the
demands of the Peoples party and the
reason for such demands, won for him the
wsrmest admiration Of his hearers.
He was followed by the gentleman on
whom the vlals Of Republican sectional
wrath and hatred have been and will be
poured throughout this campaign-Hon.
W. A. Harris. Mr.. Harris spoke in the
afternoon on the railroad question, and
at night on "Sllver." He captured his
audience. A well-posted, scholarly and
fluent speaker, and withsl an enthusiss-
tic, honest advocate of the reforms we
demand, he swept all narrowness Of
views and preiudlces, bringing every
man face to face with the bare facts Of
the effects of past legislation, on which
legislation he would be called to set his
seal of approval or disapproval in his
vote in November.
Mark our prediction, Col. Harris will
lead the majority vote in November, and
this "neck Of the woods" will be strictly

The senatorial convention (Thirty-
sixth district, comprised of Reno, Pratt
and KiDgmsn countleS), nominated j.
NJ. Leeds of Turon, Reno county, for
state senator. The utmost harmony pre-
vailed throughout the convention; all
are we'll satisfied with the result, and this
district already confidently calls Mr..
Leeds Senator"
The days jubilee wound up with q
grand display Of fireworks after the
evening speeches.
The Republicans are Weighted down
with their long faces, but rumor says they
are "making q still hunt" If they are
hunting for a redeeming trait in their
presidential candidate or his administrs-
tlon, they can still hunt till doomSday

labor Of Europe, why not also at homer
In other words, II our manufactures can
successfully meet the manufactures of
Europe, and make profit on their
goods, after shipping to peabosrd, re-
shipping across the sea, and selling in
the open markets Of the world, does 1t
mot prove that the tariff is all hOaxY
II Is good evidence that we can COM
pete with the world in any open market
Of the world.
IL seems to me that the Republicans
at Minneapolis bit off more than they can
chew. If free trade is such a good thing
away from home, why not give us some
at home? If reciprocity is good, why
not open our ports and let us have lots of
the "goOd thlngH"
"Ol" buta Republican exclaims, "where
will our revenue come from"
All! that's it, Is it. What takes the
place Of the revenue that is not collected
on the imported reciprocity goods?
"Why, we get our goods free in their
country, don't you sect" says the Repub-
llcan. Yes; but suppose, as the Mime
apollS convention says, we get control of
the markets of the world, and our goods
60 into all the ports of the world free,
and all the worlds ports send their rscl-
procity goods free into our ports, where
will the revenue come from?
Why! whyl - well, you calamity
howlerS are the biggest fools l ever saw,
If you can't see as plain thing as that.
/ think so, too. And we can see an
other thing or two. We see goods manu-
factured in this country shipped to
England, France, Germany and other
countries and sold for almost one-hslf
what they are sold for at home. We see
English goods brought here, shipped by
rail to interior points for one third the
rate American goods could be shipped
over the same road for. We see another
thing looming up-a billion dollar con-
gress, while Republicans wanted to re-
duce the expenses of the government,
and the Democrats hoWled and howled.
Their bowling did not stop until they got
their fist into the public crib, and then,
ye godsl didn't they make the money fyP
They outdid the Republicans 30 bad that
it took their breath away. Poor Repub-
lIcans; they go about Washington, I am
told, looking like whipped ours, afraid
that the Democrats have bid them one
better for the bosses. "A billion dollars Is
all we had" say the sick Republicans,
"but remember we passed the laws 80
that the Democrats could do more; they
couldn't have done 1t If it hadn't been for
u.s."
We also see the rank and file OF patri-
otic Americans reading and thinking,tall-
ing Into line, and with faces like flint,
determined to down any and all men and
parties that stand In the way of progress
and reform. r. P. McAULEY.

RECIPROCITY vs.. FREE TRADE
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
The Republican convention says:

The Republican convention says:
We point to the success Of the Republican
policy Of reciprocity under which our eX-
port trade has largely increased, and new
markets opened for farm and Workshop
products. Our present laws will eventually
give US the markets Of the world.
II this Is possible under reciprocity in
co .ntries outside Of the United States
where our tariff law does not protect the
laborer from competition Of the pauper

IngePsoIl and Women.

Col. Ingersoll is particularly unfor-
tunate in his encounters with n. Y.
reporters. Some of the papers in re-
ferring to his remarks at the recent
Carpenter banquet made him say that
he would rather go to eternal torment
with the woman he loved than to
heaven if women were not there. This
immensely delighted a certain young
woman known to the Press, and she
soon afterward took occasion to say
so. The colonel heard her through
smiling, and then said: Yes, yes,
very nice, indeed, only 1 never said
it." This was blow. but his eyes
twinkled, so she asked him what he
had said. He took up pen and wrote
for moment in silence, handed her
the paper and said: There now, how
does that please youP" This is what
he had written: According to the
theologians women brought all the
trouble into this world. If that is
true, than l had rather live with the
woman love in world full of trouble
then to live in heaven with nobody
but men," And the woman liked it
better, ever so much"

WHAT A FLAT WHEEL IS.
1t Pertains to Railroad Trains and Is a
Very Dangerous Thing.

There's flat wheel on this truck
under this end of the car" said an
Erie official who sat in the back seat
of the rear car of a passenger train to
Bradford Era man. 'FThat must be
taken out. 1t might wreck the train"
whats a fiat wheel?n asked the
scribe.
Listen" said the railroad man.
''You hear that rapid pat-pat-pat of
the wheel? That's caused by the flat
wheel. On a spot on the surface of
the wheel flat piece is worn. 1t may
be done, and is generally. by setting
up brake so tight that the wheel
slips on the rail. Let it slip but the
least, yet small place no larger than
a silver dollar will be worn on the
wheel. The next time the brake is
set up hard the wheel stops with that
same place on the rail, and it is worn
larger. By the time it is a couple of
inches in diameter it begins to pound
every time the wheel turns. Instead
of running a true circle as it revolves,
the wheel strikes flat on the rail when
the flat spot is reached. The conse-
quence is that when the flat spot has
grown to be three or four inches across
it is very dangerous thing. Every
stroke against the rail by the flat side
of the wheel is liable to ditch the
train"
Around the shops and at nearly ev-
cry cripple track in the railroad world
these fiat wheels may be seen. AS
soon as one is discovered the pair of
wheels affected is taken out and sent
TO the junk track to be cast into new
machinery. The fiat spots are plainly
perceptible, but they would hardly be
judged by the uninitiated to be of suf-
ticient Importance to be one of the
most dangerous elements of railroad
ing, yet such is the case.

Treatment of Women in Boston.

Boston common, if one may believe
the Post, is a veritable rendezvous of
"mashers." The "Woman About
Town" of that journal had peculiarly
unpleasant demonstration of this the
other evening when, venturing out
alone, she was accosted and forced to
seek refuge from insult by flight. But,
happily, there is another side to the
picture. The Woman had occasion
the other night to elbow her way
through every class and kind of men
in a regulation rally. 1t was a big
crowd hemmed in on every side, and
as the Woman wedgett herself in its
midst big, burly workingman struck
out hammer stroke of his right arm
against the surge of the crowd, with a
"Make way for the lady there!" And
the Woman was gently and courteous
ly given the right of way. Not a
feather on her hat was ruff1ed; not a
rude word; not an equivocal glance
treated like a princess, by the rough
est, biggest, burliest crowd into which
she ever yentured

The KINKAJOU.

Dear Jack: May introduce to your
favorable notice my friend Mr.. Kin
kajou of South America?
Indeed, his absence is timely. for it
enables me to tell you of many of his
charming qualities, which would en-
barrass him if he were present.
To begin with. he is purely American.
He never has been found on the East
ern hemisphere, though certain dis
tant relatives of his make their homes
there.
In size the kinkajou resembles a
large cat. From his picture you might
fancy he belonged to the monkey
tribe but the bear family claim him.
His long tail is very useful in climbing
from tree to tree for he can hang or
swing by it as easily as any monkey.
In captivity he coils it round and round,
till it looks like thick mat. and he
uses it as blanket or mattress, which
ever he chooses.
His tongue is remarkable in that it
is very long. In his native haunts he
lives on insects and sweet fruits; and
when he finds wild honey he considers
himself very lucky indeed. His liking
for this dainty has given him another
name = ''honey-bear." In obtaining
the honey stored in crevices of rock or
hollow trees his long tongue is very
useful-in fact, he could not do with
out it.
His head is round, and his ears are
like those of a cat, and, like the cat, his
| habits are nocturnal. His fur is a
tawny-yellow, trife darker on the
| back than underneath.
But, beautiful as he is to look at, he
| is good as he is beautiful. Though
when caught and tanned he longs for
his native land and his free. happy
| life in the forest. he is a pattern for
the most particular. He is not mis-
chievous; he is neat. he is good-tem-
pered. and as loving and affectionate
| as child.
| One of these really beautiful Great
ures, owned by a lady, was one night
seeking some sweet food of which he
was extremely fond. He fancied that
it was concealed in some vase on the
| parlor mantel. Instead of smashing
| all the bric-a-brac, as a monkey would
have done. he took one vase at time,
examined it (with his tongue, fear),
and then set it carefully on the floor.
| Pictures, too, were examined, being
actually taken from the walls. and
placed gently on the floor beside the
vases.
In the morning, when his owner en-
tered the room, she found no more mis-
chief done than an absolutely new ar
rangement of her choice ornaments
| and engravings.
Mr.. Kinkajou has one rather bad
habit which will touch upon briefly
| Sometimes, in the forests, he has been
| known to snatch mother-birds out OF
their nests with those deft little claws
| of his. and drink the contents of their
eggs; still, so long as this bad practice
| is confined to his home we will not cen
sure him too severely but think, with
| gratitude, of our own lack of faults
both at home and abroad.
For fear all of your congregation
will at once send orders for kinkajou.
l must tell you that his home is in
Guiana. Venezuela, and the United
| States of Colombia. Like the monkey,
| he has always been accustomed to the
| warm, moist climate of the tropical
forests and he does not long survive a
removal to colder country.-M Y.

Expert Spanish Smokers.

The Spaniards are the most expert
smokers in the world. A Spaniard
takes heavy pull at his cigarette, in
hales it, takes up wine skin or wine
bottle, pours a half pint down his
throat. holding the vessel foot from
his mouth and not spilling drop, and
then with sigh of satisfaction closes
his eyes and exhales theasmoke from
his nose and mouth in clouds. He will
also inhale the smoke. converse for a
few minutes in natural manner, and
then blow out the smoke.
