WOMAN.

After the transgression OF Eve in the gard en-
God spoke to the woman, and declared unto
her what the DEGREES were which should be
her lot One was thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule oyer thee. This as
all the DEGREES of the allwise, stands; has ever
stood. There has never been, will never be a
nation whose laws are made by woman,
there can be but one reason why women
should ever desire to dictate statutes TO govern
a commonwealth. That would be when men
refuse to protect themselves. There never
would be any necessity to protect the rights of
a woman, if men would protect themselves.
The woman suffrage question sprang from
oisregardof those laws which defend our fire.
sides, our fathers, husbands and sons. Tho
intemperance of this nation reused woman as
lioness to defend her own-not herself. If
men would make and execute laws that pro-
tect themselves from the curse of the liquor
traffic, their mothers and daughters would
never lack for any right, in a christian land.
Saloon men are the severest antagonists Of
woman's influence. They know their enemy
and woman knows the saloon to be the curse
Of her home. What shall do? Shall we
submit to this murderous onslaught of those
who are dearer to us than our own lives, and
make no resistance? Woman would not then
be woman. "Her desire shall be to her hus-
band" And so it is. The desire of women,
almost without exception, is to her offspring
man; from the time she folds him to her
heart, and gives him the warmth and food of
her own body. 1.-THE hand that rocks the era
die is the hand that moves the world This
truth was considered the highest wisdom In
deciding the stronger of the three powers, the
king, wine or woman, and is so recorded in the
scriptures of the Roman Catholic church. The
man who decided in favor of the supremacy
of woman bore away the prize. She is not the
thorne, but the power behind it. "A nation is
what its women are" The women of all
heathern lands are slaves. We say, and truly,
that base woman is worse than base man.
She falls 30 far. 1t is said that Satan was
once good angel. The nature of woman is
not so inclined to evil as man. We expect
better things of her. There is a thought in
this: 1.-The man was made of dust, which was
not said Of the woman. The crude substance
making the man had been through the hands
of the great refner before he got a substance
of which to make woman. Paul says in Cor
II chap. imam is not of the woman, but the
woman OF the man." Neither was man ere
ated for the woman, but woman tor the man. -
| Again in the same chapter, For as the wo-
man is of the man, even so, is man also by the
| woman This apostle has been thought by
many to have set forth the doctrine which
! would subject women to the rule of bad men.

Mrs. Jim Blaine, jr. is after her re-
spected papa-in-law with sharp stick.
She says: II have allowed Mr.. Blaine
ten days in which to tell the whole truth
about the treatment given me by his
family, and to retract the statement
that it was l and not his son who had
done the counting before my marriage.
Mr., Blaine gave the public garbled ex-
tracts from letters to his son. These
convey untruthful and unjust ideas re-
speeding me. If Mr.. Blaine does not,
within ten days, publish the full text
of my letters L will give the public the
letters which his son wrote to me
before our marriage, and which will
prove conclusiyely who it was that was
the wOoer. Great as Secretary Blaine
is, he cannot and will not be allowed to
asDerSe my character with impunity
and without rejoinder On my part.
He set up his love for his grandson as
an excuse for the attempt to besmirch
me. l love that child as my son quite
as much as Mr.. Blaine can love him as
a grandson, and for that reason it is my
| duty to see that his mother does not
rest under false charge unanswered. .

Knights of Reciprocity.

The supreme lodge of the Knights of
Reciprocity held meeting at Excelsior
Springs, Tuesday, March LIST. Only four
delegates from the different states ap-
peared. The Excelsior Springs mill
tary band of eighteen pieces played
Hail to the Chief" as the four dele
gates and three newspaper reporters
assembled the steps of the magnificent
Films hotel. Besides the four delegates
there were present Jesse Taylor, SUI
preme judge, of Garden City; w. G..
Marshall, supreme marshal. of Kansas
City; E. L. Chapman, inner bailiff, of
Larned, Kansas, and several members
of the local Kansas City lodges.
The four delegates did not find it nee
essary to use the opera house, which
had been prepared for their reception,
and met in small room in the hotel.
at O'Clock, Jesse Taylor, of Garden
City, Kansas, supreme judge of the
order. made his annual address to the
forlorn four. The delegates present
were w. II. Harrison, of Kansas City,
and Fire Alarm Flanagan, of Car
thage, from Missouri, ex-Congressman
S. r. Peters, of Newton, and II. S.
Gregory, of Garden City, from Kansas.
Chauncey 1. Filley, who was expected
to come up with delegation from st.
Louis, had not arrived at 2 o'clock.
John 5. ClarksOn telegraphed that he
was i'll, and even the clerk of the SUI
preme lodge, l.. G. Hay, of Washington,
d. c., could not come on account of the
illness of his wife.
The Knights of Reciprocity is a Sc
cret political order, organized a year
ago last November, at Garden City
Kansas, to Offset the work of the Far
mers' Alliance. Their secret feature
has been great element in their sue
cess. AS the name implies, it is an or
ganiZatiOn founded on the Blaine
scheme of reciprocity, to combat the in
roads of the growing free trade idea.
Each state was allowed two delegates
to the supreme lodge, but they failed to
take advantage of their opportunities.
The order is now organizing and will
soon, the members claim, have grand
lodges in Nebraska, South Dakota, Min
nesota, Iowa, Michigan, Tennessee
West Virginia. North Carolina, New
York, New Hampshire, Connecticut
and New Jersey. Kansas claims eighty
six lodges, with a total membership OF
$500, and Missouri 1857 lodges, with a
membership of $4,000, though neither
claim can be proven.

Under free sugar our consumption
has grown from 54.56 pounds per capita
in 1890 to 67.46 pounds in 1891. The
sugar tariff was revenue tariff, hence
a tax. That is why the Mckinley
law, which believes in protective du-
ties only, abolished it," The above is
from the Wichita Eagle. There is a
revenue tariff on sugar at this moment,
and it is there in the interest of the re-
finers. who put up Doodle to carry cleo
tons. The Eagle knows it; everybody
knows it. Yet the Eagle and other re-
publican organs have the cheek to
think their readers are fools, and dish
up such rot as that for their edifcation.

ing speech, that he is proud to say that
he has never voted for a democrat.
Then John is liar and traitor, for he
has twice been the democratic nominee
for lieutenant governor of Kansas.
Did he accept the nomination, and then
vote against the whole ticket? If so the
act is the most despicable one known
to politics. Johnny, out of your own

THE PIRATES OF FRANCE.
The Republic Is having Hard Work {,
Stamp Out OutIaWry I'm Tonkln.

Tho Republic Is Having Hard Work to
Stamp Out Outlaw-y I'm Tonkln.
The French for year past have been
having a very lively time with the pi-
rates in Tonkin. Some months ago the
newspapers described these rowing
bands of outlaws, most of them COM
posed of criminals from China, who
flock over the border to prey upon the
natives of the adjoining country.
France decided year ago to wipe
them out, for they were keeping the
country in constant alarm, and were
embodied TO invade not only the settle
ments of the interior highlands, but al
SO to push down to the very coast and
to attack small bodies of the French
soldiery. Most of the pirate bands are
well armed, and although they have
met with very serious reverses they are
still unsubducd.
The French have met them repeated
ly In parties of twenty to hundred
men, and fierce fights have generally
occurred. In the campaign against the
pirates, which began in April last, two
thousand French soldiers took the field.
Within three months eleven hundred
pirates were killed, of whom about
seven hundred and fifty met their fate
In battle, while the others were cap
tured and executed. According to the
latest reports hardly day has passed
since June 1 without some encounter.
The pirates have been almost invaria-
bly, worsted until recently. Recent re-
ports say, however, that the pirates
appear to have received large re-en-
forcements.
A detachment of soldiers who were
protecting party of workingmen en-
gagged in building French fortifca-
ton were attacked, and thirteen of the
French, including Lieut. Levecq, were
killed or wounded. The pirates after
ward beheaded Lieut.. Levecq and
seven of his men. When the pirates
are led to execution they meet their
death with the most absolute indiffer-
ence. The present war is certain to
end in faver of the French, though
the pirates have the great advantage
that they can retreat to their noun
tain Businesses, where it is difficult to
pursue them, and wait there quite free
from molestation until they have re-
cruited their strength and are ready
for fresh forays.
