Words OF Advice.

The boy who spends his evenings at
home reading newspapers, the local
news of his town, county and the gen.
eral news of the day, OF in reading
some useful book, will certainly make
a better man, everything else being
equal, than the boy who spends his
evenings on the street and lOaflng at
places where the town gossip is dished
out in the most vulgar and profane
manner. BY staying at home the
tastes are cultivated so as to lead them
by choice to engage their evenings in
a profitable way, and few criminals
and drunkards would be the result.

citizenship and such as will insure

recommend that meetings be held at
various points around the Strip in
time to elect one or more delegates to
this meeting with authority to enter
into any compact such as the wisdom
Of the meeting may suggest, for the
purpose OfadOpting any and all means
by which the settlement of the Strip
may be assured.
This movement is made in the face
Of the fact that the administration
has utterly failed to take action by
which we are enabled to obtain our
rights as against cattle barOns who
are disposed to use any and all means,
however illegal they may be, to reap
the benefits of said lands.
We know of no law wherby Texas
steer has greater rights to said lands
than the soldiers and citizens of the
United States who defended their
country in time of war and who main
tain it in time Of peace.

after the election that swept the Re-
publlcanS out of power so far as it was
possible to do so at that time. these
same determined men met and re-
solved upon plan. The plan adopted
In ~ had been successful beyond all
expectations so far as promises and
platforms went. And there in Ocala,
Florida, our principles were re-afiirm-
ed and our order decided to wait I'M
til February, 1892. and if the Demo-
cratic house treated us as the Repub-
lican house had done. then we would
repudiate both old parties. That
plan has been carried out to the very
letter 50 far. and why should we
doubt but that it will be carried out
at the polls? Remember that fully
ninety per cent of the Alliances Of
the south have re-endOrsed their de-
mandS and the action taken at st.
Louis last February. Since that con-
ventiOn was held, think of the num-
Der OF times the south have pledged
themselves TO support no party that
would not grant them relief. Why
should the west doubt the south or
the south the west?
In the face of all the evidence that
has been accumulating for the past
few years, can we not read the future
prosperity of our country in shining
letters? Can we not see that we are
about to be one country, indiviSible
and inSeparable, as we have never
been before?
The most generous thing Kansas
could have done was to nominate an
ex-cOnfederate soldier for congress-
man at large. The south is more than
ever convinced that you are her
friends and not her enemies: that
you do not mean to keep fighting the
war over every four years and the
southern people are going to meet
you halfway and you can depend upon
it. 1t is possible that the money
Gratis may succeed in preventing a
complete victory this year. Indeed
we must not be surprised if they, in
their death struggle, do prevent a
sweeping victory until four years
hence, but it will come then, if not
this year and the south will be stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with you in
the fight from now on. ! have not
lost my attachment for Kansas and
am proud of her for the action she
has taken in this movement: she has
honOred herself grandly and | want
to see her do her duty this fall and
believe she will. 1t is a distinction
that any state might well be proud OF
to lead in this fight, and | am glad
that Kansas has that distinction.
Georgia is going to be the Kansas OF
the south in the reform movement,
Let every man in Kansas do his duty

civil wars in our country, either with
ballots or bullets.

Judge DOSter was REINFORCED by Col.
W. A. Harris, the Peoples candidate

spoken at Harper on Saturday, had a
day off and wisely concluded to devote
it to Sumner county. He spoke for
over an hour, giving a scholarly pres
entatiOn of the railroad question.
much of his knowledge having been
gained by actual experience as a Union
Pacific railroad contractor. He made
a most favorable impression on the
people. He was followed by Judge
DOSter, who gave the audience an ell
Oquent idea of the revolution through
which we have passed and are pass
ing, and portrayed the necessity of
our adjusting our governmental ma
chinery to correspond. After he had
finished the county candidates were
introduced and made their little
bows. The Milan COrnet band. an ex-
cellent uniformed organization, the
"Hayseed Glee Club" and a drum
corps made the musical part of the
program lively. Hon. p. V. C. Pool

were entertained in the forenoon by a

DOSter made one of the most telling
speeches that a Sumner county audi
ence has ever had the pleasure of lis
tening to. He showed how the Re-
publican senate had rejected the Aus
tralian ballot law, the anti-PinkertOn
law, the anti-black-listing law, the
law compelling corporations to pay
their employees weekly, all sent to
them by the Peoples house, and now
in the year 1892, come up and incor-
porate demands for these measures in
their platform. He read set of res
olutionS passed by the Mcpherson
county Alliance in January. 1890. de-
manding the abolition Of national
banks, free coinage Of silver. govern
ment ownership Of railroads, tele-

Names Of London Streets.

don't wonder that reformers shudder when it comes to the names of streets. myself have counted twenty-six King streets, sixteen Queen streets and thir- teen Duke streets in this town! The same name will repeat itself in street, road, place, crescent and square, upper and lower, east and west, until the brain begins to soften. We've spent more shillings in directing cabs to Gloucester something or other, when we ought to have gone to Gloucester something else, than dare tell.
 Bob declares he'll be chained to an ad- dress book hereafter. suppose good deal of this repetition is due to the greediness with which London swallows up town after town. But really there is no excuse for baptizing the same streets several times. One street in our neigh borhood, not half mile long, has three names. It's blessing to get into Picca- dilly, Oxford street and the Strand, for then l know where l am; but now l come to think of it, l don't know any thing of the sort, for Piccadilly runs into Knights bridge, that street runs into several things, the Strand becomes Fleet street at Temple Bar-or, perhaps ought to say, at the place where Temple Bar once stood-and Oxford street loses itself in Holborn.-London Cor.

 The camp has had quite boom in the matrimonial line. Five couples recently shook single blessedness.
 Jeff Matney and Robert Lee, of Kan sas City, have commenced work on the Little Missouri mine.
 Harshaw is mourning the absence of one Allen, an itinerant barber and tim horn gambler. For some months he has been very successful in his manipu- lations of the cards, but he recently ran up against a man who played "craps. " That was Aliens game. He put up his ten months earnings, and finally his tonsorisl outfit, but it all went. The next day he borrowed the shaving appa- ratus back and vamoosed. The camp is rid of his presence cheap.

Better Than a Gold Mine.

The steamer San Jose, from Panama, brought the report of the discovery of an important deposit of that rare metal known as vanadium in the province of Mendoza, Argentine Republic. This metal is one of the rarest and most valu- able known, and is used for setting dyes in silks, ribbons, hosiery and other fine goods. The principal source of supply, until recently, has been a small deposit in the Ural mountains, and it has been held as high as Sl, 800 per ounce. This deposit in Mendoza will therefore be recognized as of great importance Francisco Examiner.
