Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-12-01

MANY bald philosophers, writing
in their cozy Offices in eastern cit
les, with great deal of insolence,
tell us that the farmers would be in
more prosperous condition if they
were not so extravagant, and then
point out that they ride in carriages
and have organs in their houses.
Now, who has any better right to
have an organ in his house, or ride
in carriage, than the man who, by
labor, earns the wealth with which
to purchase these things? Busi-
ness, as seen by the jaundiced eyes
of our eastern philosophers, is a
system of exchange by which the
producer is robbed at this end, and
the consumer at the other. A revo-
luton, such as is now on, will
change this.

Doubtless thousands ofyoung peo-
pie, and not small number of old
ones, wish every day of their lives
that they could learn the secret of
fascinating others by means of their
graceful, exquisite manners. 1t is
so easy to learn that it lies all neg
Iected by the wayside, while those
who would give their dearest treas
ure to find it pass unknowing
It's only this: Fill your heart with
good will to everybody, and then
practice at all times the best man
ners that you know, particularly at
home. If you begin at home, this
charming manner will, so to speak,
get settled on you and never leave
you. Be just as polite to your sis
ter as you would to your best girl.
Strive to gain the good will of moth
er, father, and brothers, and sisters,
and children exactly as you would
strive to gain good will abroad.
There is no place for practicing
manners like the home circle; no
place, permit one to say, where it
will be so appreciated. 1t will be a
cultivation of heart, mind and body,
this endeavor to feel nothing but af-
fection for the people at home and
treat them as though they were wor
thy of'as much consideration at your
hands as if they were the president
and his family. So they are worthy.
Then from the home will float out
around you those sweet, magnetic
influences which will draw the
hearts of mankind toward you.

The people of the solid South have
been complaining of the low price of
cotton and the low price of wool, as
in Texas. Their electors will vote
for Cleveland, who said in his letter
of acceptance "The manufacturers
should be compensated for any re-
duction in the tariff by cheaper raw
materiat". There you have it.
Harrison had been scourging you
with whips, Cleveland promises you
a change to scorpions. By your
votes you declare we'll try the scor-
pion diet for four years. Don't make
faces when obliged to take your own
medicine.-Plow and Hammer.

The Republican papers are against
woman suffrage since the election.
Poor Laura Johns She was all
right so long as the politicians
thought she could make them any
votes before election; but now when
she asks the right to vote, she re-
ceives no encouragement from her
late eulogists. Every woman of i'll
telligence should advocate the Peo-
ple's cause, for it is only in that
party that men have sufficient cour-
age to advocate what they believe.

SECRETARY CHARLES FOSTER thinks
the pension expenditure will soon
reach $3.50, 900, ,O00a year. Twenty
years ago, nobody supposed it
would ever reach $50, 900, 900 a year.
1t is clear enough to everybody now
that the country has gone too far in
this pension business -Globe-Dem-
ocrat, Nov. 25th
If Peoples party paper had CIV
en- utterance to the above, every
Republican paper, every 6. o. p.
stump speaker, and all their heelers,
would have made a terrible commo-
ton, and would have branded that
paper as traitorous, anarchistic
sheet-an enemy to the old soldier,
etc. As the utterance appeared in
the Globe-Democrat, however, it is
all right with the "stand-up" crowd.

The latest stroke of Republican
enterprise is a revival of the move
ment to divide this state. In other
words, the western counties would
like to succeed in order that there
may be some show for Republican
to be elected to state Office in at
ter years. We don't want to be
selfish about this matter, but really
there is no use trying that plan.
That new state would lie right be-
tween Colorado and Kansas, and be-
fore arrangements could be made to
have it admitted to the Union, it
would be overwhelmingly Populist.
The only plan of relief we can see
is to take Botkin's judicial district,
have it made a territory before
March 4, 50 that Harrison can ap-
point Botkin governor, and Botkin
can do the rest.-Advocate.

POMONA, Cal, April 1.-THE mystery oil
the robbery Of George Il. Holden Of $4,000
cash securities and jewelry, on the Santa
Fe overland train, between Albuquerque
and Pomona last November, has been
cleared up. Holden was robbed Of his
money and bonds on the way from New
York to Pomona to spend the winter. He
had been following the races i'll the East
for several months as the book maker and
become used to carrying large sums OF
money with him. He said that he looked
into his satchel at Albuquerque and saw
his funds were all right. He had no idea
but that his fellow travellers in the Pullman
were honest men and women and he took
no further particular care to look after his
funds until he had arrived at his friends
home in Pomona. He found that all his
money, bonds and jewelry were gone. He
had no reason to suspect any one in
his car and was without clew to the
thief. Holden took his loss philosophically
and blamed no one but himself for the rob-
berry. He spent the winter in Santa Bar
bara, San Francisco and Santa Monica He
has been informed by Pinkerton detectives
in Brooklyn and Albany, N. Y, that the
man who robbed his satchel is under ar
rest. Holden started for Albany yester-
day, Immediately upon receipt of tele-
gram concerning the finding of his bonds
in boarding house in that city. 1t seems
that Oliver Curtis Perry, who is confined
in jail at Lyons, N. Y. for the bold robbery
of an American express car near Syracuse,
February 21st, is the culprit. Detectives,
in following the cleWs duplicating Perry iii
the express robbery and burglaries, found
among his effects in Albany, the bonds be-
longing to Holden, besides some iewelry
bearing his engraved name. Tiffany & co..
of New York, then gave the address Of
Holden, who sent full description of his
jewelry.
Information comes that all the money
has been spent or secreted where the de-
tectiYes cannot recover it. Holden says
that he now has clear recollection
OF the young man answering
Perry's description being In another
Pullman car on the same train coming
west with him. He then went under some
name like Cross or Gross and was we'll
liked by all travellers for his interesting
stories of western life and account of his
career with Texas rangers. Perry repre-
sented himself as owner of cattle ranch
in south New Mexico and had lots of
money to spend buying Indian curiosities
along the journey. Holden is sure Perry
rode no further west than Prescott Juno
ton, where he left the train in the night
ostensibly to go to Prescott on business.
How or when he had an opportunity to
rob Holden's satchel the latter does not

AN ITALIAN SNOB.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Oficial circles
have been wondering why the Italian gov
ernment recalled Marquis Imperiala, its
representative here, in view of the fact that
he was entirely acceptable to the United
States, and that mutual harmony prevailed.
It Is now said that his recall was one of the
results of the famous Letter Ball of last
month. It seems that the Marquis acted
as a sort of master of ceremonies upon that
occasion at the request of Mrs. Letter. and
following Ward McAllister's example, des-
ignated the ''inner arch' upon which es-
pecial fayors were lavished. In the pres
ence Of all the guests at this swell affair,
ribbon was stretched through the parlors,
SO the story goes, and nnder the super Wis
ion Of the Marquis "the elect, we're sep
arated from the common hered. Some of
the latter .essayed to protest against this
discrimination, but were incontinently

moned him home.

within the next few days and formerly
