Democrats Then and Now.

John Bobbitt of Winfield, Kan,
writes as follows to Father McIntire
of the Arkansas City Democrat. It
is bit of humor which all Kansas
Democrats will appreciate:
DEAR SIR am all broke up on politics The
Democratic convention at Topeka Endorsed the
Peoples party ticket from top TO bottom, and. af
ter due consideration concluded it was all right,
and that il was the proper thing to do. But after
l had hung out my flag for LeWelling and the
other fellows, evidence began to accumulate from
Republican sources that the Democratic PAL ty had
always been a party of principles; that il had
been a brave. courageous, patriotic party. and
some Republican papers go so far to intimate
that the Democratic party loyal, and that in
dividual Democrats drank very little whisky, and
were good readers, and never did stick out our
tongues when write. Now, then, You
wonder that when l find all these virtues ascribed
to the Democratic party by the Republicans OF
Kansas whose VeFacity we (neyerl doubted.
I am disconsOlate for having even temper
arily abandoned such party, for the purpose OF
defeating the Republican party, and several of my
Republican friends have assured me that they felt
lust as bad about ii as / did. However, if the Re
publicans are defeated, they will have no tc
blame but themselves. They should have i'm
always commended that we didn't have any princi-
pie; that we were dirty, whisky Democrats, rebel
Democrats; that all Democrats were not horse
thieves but that all horsethieves were Democrats
and we thought they meant it. But they say
that they did not it at all; that they always
knew we were a grand, glorious, patriotic, coura
| geous loyal party, and had principles.

Two years ago the Democrats en-
dorsed one candidate of the Peoples
party; Ives, Attorney General. He
was elected by majority of 42,45l.
Kellogg, his opponent, received some
thing like 10000 more than Humph-
rev. who was elected Governor by a
plurality of 5000. This year the
Democrats endorsed the entire feoo-
pies party ticket, and if the opposl-
ton to the Republicans Is as strong
now as it was two years ago, the en-
tire Peoples party ticket Will be
elected by something like fifty thou
sand majority. No wonder the Re
publicans are cared.--Atehtso7'

Jerry Simpson may have his weak
nesses, but he is no fool. And no
body honestly believes that he pub
licly manifested any delight over the
shooting of Prick. Republican pa
pers that are publishing denunciatory
editorials of Brutal Simpson are
wasting time and space. The story
is silly one and probably a pure
r;cation.-KansdS City Star.

sMIrH's FAMOUS RESOLUTION
one of the Dangerous Attempts
20 Capture the Alliance Vote.

OAo OF the Dangerous Attempts
& TO Capture the Alliance Vote.
One of the reasons why the farmers
OF Kansas have no faith in the Re-
publican nominee for Governor, is his
treachery. Many times he has de-
clared IN favor of principles thatWould
lead to reform, and as many times
he has abandoned them in order to
to keep his standing with the Repub-
hcans. Many times he has promised
to deliver the farmer vote to the old
party and as many times he has failed.
He has kept this up until the farmers
and laborers of his own county are
actually ashamed of him.
: During one of his Herculean efforts
to elevate himself into political re-
sponsibility be went into a county
convention and offered the following
resolutions. which were adopted.
They were first published January 3,
1880, in the Mcpherson Freeman and
Mcpherson ReDubLicGn, and have
since been frequently reproduced.
The Republicans use them as argu-
ment that he is an alliance man at
heart:
First-That we demand the abolition of ma
tional banks, and substitution of legal tender
treasury notes in lieu of national bank notes, is
sued in sufficient volume to 90 the business of the
country a cash system. regulating the amount
needed on per capita basis as the business inter-
ests of the country expand, and that all money
issued by the Government shall be legal tender in
payment of all debts both public and private.
Ihird-That we demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Fifth-Believing in the doctrine of ''eaual rights
TO all and special privileges to none,' we demand
that taxation, national state shall not be used
build up one interest class at the expense of
another. We believe that the money of the coun-
try should be kept much as possible in the
all revenues, national, state county, shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of the Govern
ment, economically and honestly administered.
SiXth-That congress issue sufficient amount
of fractional paper currency to facilitate exchange
through the medium of the United States mail.
SeVenth-That the means of communication
and transportation shall be owned by and oper-
ated in the interests of the people, is the United
States postal system.
Eighth-That we favor commercial treaties that
Will discriminate in favor of those nations which
viii accept silver legal tender money as we'll as
silver.
Ninth-That we advocate free sugar with
bounty to home producers equal TO present tariff
duties free lumber and free coal.
Observation-Disclosures, That we will not support
for the nomination any man for United States
Representative. who will not, to his utmost abil
ity. aid in carrying out the objects of the above
| resolutions. All Of which are respectfully sub
mitted. A. W. SMITH,

ANOTHER TRAIN WRECK.
The East-bound Passenger Leaves the
Track.-A Bad Wreck.

The East-bound Passenger Leaves the
Track.-A Bad Wreck.
Last Monday morning the east
bound passenger train struck an OK
about five miles west OF Nolga and
was thrown from the track with ter.
rife force. The engineer and fireman
stayed at their post until the cab was
torn OF and they were thrown some
distance. Engineer Ferry received y
severe cut on one hand and also q
deep cash on his forehead The fire
man escaped unhurt. The mail clerk
undertook to jump from his car and
was quite severely bruised. Quite q
number OF the passengers were more
or less shaken up, but none received
serious injury. The engine was thrown
several yards away from the track
and is q complete wreck The entire
train left the track and it seems al
most miraculous that those on board
escaped with their lives. The train
was running at full speed and the &C
cident occurred on g. short curve
which no doubt was the cause OF the
engine leaving the track. 1t was
nolsed at first that another head end
collision had occurred between the
passenger trains Ia repetition OF the
Manchester wreck but later reports
proved to the contrary and our peo-
pie breathed more freely. The acci.
dent did not delay the trains to any
extent as the Watertnwn train backed
up from Brookings and the passen-
gers we're taken east at once. There
was no train to Watertown that
morning, however.

Horses Poisoned by n Plant.

The botanist OF the experiment sta
tion OF the Agricultural college has re-
ceived notice of a serious disease
among horses in Bon Homme county,
1t ls thought to be due to a plant
commonly called rattle box which the
horses eat. The plants contains
poison which affects the animal in
such q way that they become unable to
digest their food, lose appetite, soon
become gauIt and detected, and fin
ally gets the blind staggers and die.
The disease is evidently the same as
that DR.. Stalker of Iowa called atten.
tion to in 1884 as affecting horses in
the region between Sioux City and
Council Bluffs. He gave it the name
of crotalisn. Several farmers in Bon
Homme county has lost horses from
this disease, one losing as many as
twenty head.

Skating Rink.

An effort is being made among
some of the enterprising young mon OF
this city to organize stock company
and establish an ice skating rink. The
only difficulty which the gentlemen
have to contend with is to secure
water with which to overflow the rink.
Prof. Foster has kindly offered the
use of his we'll and the company en-
tertains the idea OF erecting q wind
mill and building the rink on the va
can't ground west OF Mr. Fosters res
idence. 1t seems as il q more central
place would be advantageous and why
cannot the use of the city well be Sc
cured to supply the water. Keep at
work. gentlemen, and your project
will be successful.

Elkton Catholic Fair.

A correspondent to the Sioux Falls

church 81, ,152, which will be used for
the purpose of erecting church and
school. The school building is being
pushed as fast as possible. 1t will be
6Ox6O feet, two stories high. The
church will cost between five and six
thousand dollars. When the church
and school are both completed the
Catholics will have as good buildings
as there are in the state"

An Honorable RECOGNITION.

Last week Prof. Jas. H. Shepard, of
this city, received notification from
Chas. w. Eliot, president of Harvard
University, that he had been appoint
ed on committee Of ten to attend q
conference to be held December %, at
a point yet to be determined on. Tne
object OF this conference is to discuss
and arrive at the best methods to Sc
cure uniformity OF the principle sub.
jects entering into the programmes of
colleges and secondary schools in the
United States. 1t is a move set on
foot by the National Counc,l of Edu.
cation and cannot fail of being OF
inestimable value to the interests OF
education. Prof. Shepard's appoint
ment embraces the department OF
physics, astronomy and chemistry,
and his colleagues are such men as
Professor Ira kemsen, John Hopkins
university; w. C. Peckham, Adelphi
Academy, Brooklyn, New York; Viii
liam Mcpherson, Jr., Ohio State Uni
versity; William J. Waggener, Uni.
versity OF Colorado, and others OF
equal note on educational work. The
Professor Is the only educator in the
state that has received recognition at
the hands OF the committee and Ger.
tainly is excusable for certain
amount OF pride In accepting the
WORK. 1t is not only an honor to
himself but to the institution he rep
resents and the state at large,
